Memory.

IAe following examples of the marvels
OF memory would seem entirely incredible
had they not been given to us upon the
highest authority:
Cyrus knew the name of each soldier in
his army. 1t is also related of Tben;-
stocles that he could call by name every
citizen of Athens, although the number
amounted TO 10000. Mitbridates KIN,
OF Pontus, knew all of his $4,000 soldiers

the inhabitants of Rome. Seneca com

Paul de Cassarnae.

NJ Paul de Cassagnac, a well-known
French journalist has Just died at Cassel.
He was renowned at all times for his per-
sonal bravery, and thrust himself into ac-
ton with enthusiasm at the outbreak of
the war In his rencontres with political
opponents ne was celebrated as a swords
man. He was a son of Granier de Cass-
agnac, and in 1866 he Joined the Pays, of
winch he soon became editor chief
The Pays was conducted with extreme
personality. and its virulence against con-
temporary journals and political adverse
ries were remarkable, even among the ex-
cesses of polemical journalism. His most
noted duel was with NJ Gustave Flourens,
also an editor, whom he attacked with
every proyocation while that gentleman
was in prison under government prosecu-
tion Paul de Cassagnac, notwithstanding
his character as duellist and his press pre-

General Robert e. Lee.

RICHMOND, October Richmond pre-
sents scene of mourning hardly witnessed
IN this generation. Stores and public
buildings are all closed; the bells in all
parts OF the city are tolling. On many
doors are pictures and photographs of Gen.
Lee draped in Grape with eSergreens.
Citizens are standing in groups son the
principal thoroughfares and talking in sub
dued tones of the sad event The feeling
that he ought to be buried here at the
States expense is universal. and the
Legislature, in making the request to his
family, has reiterated public opinion. The
City Council met this afternoon at the call
of the Mayor. .'2sF -.-a---

to the General Assembly: O.... -

the death of General Robert E. Lee at
Lexington yesterday morning He died
as be had lived, a noble example of sub
lime principles and teachings of the Chris
tan religion, He goes down to the tomb
amid the lamentations of an affectionate
and sorrowing people. Of exalted pubic
and private virtues in his life and career,
he filed, with full measure, our concep-
ton Of a man, A stricken family, be-
reaved State and an affectionate people
bow with reverence and humility before
this visitation of Divine Providence.
1t IS fitting that you, representatives Of
the people, should take such action as the
melancholy occasion suggests, and L be-
Geve you would but give expression to the
universal desire of the people should YOU

tive alike of their sincere, their lasting
affection for the man and their profound
appreciation of mis- greatness and good
ness. .-
After reading the message, a joint reso-
luton was passed, expressive Of the deep
sorrow OF both Houses at the sad event,
and requesting that the body be turned
over to the State for interment at Holy
wood Cemetery, near this city.
ID A Joint committee, consisting of five
members of the House and two of the
Senate. and their presiding officers, was
appointed to go to Lexington and escort

WILMINGTON, October 6.AThe result
of the election held in this State on last
Tuesday, October 4, for officers and In
spectors of the State election, to be held
in November, is highly gratifying to the
Democracy The Radicals were confident,
IN view Of the votes of their negro allies,
of having majority so confident that,
on the morning after the election, Radical
Journals, without waiting for returns, an
nounced that their party had carried the
State. The returns now in show that the
State is Democratic by over two thousand
majority. New Castle county, the strong
hold of Redicalism and of the negro vote,
gives only forty-four majority for that
party. Kent county gives about one
thousand Democratic majority, and Sussex
county eleven hundred and sixty-nine
The Democratic party in this State now
numbers within its ranks nearly the whole
white vote. The forcing of negro suffrage
upon the people has caused all respectable
white men, who have previously voted
the Republican ticket, to leave the Radi-
Gals and ally themselves with the white
mans party. - .-

WASHINGTON, October IF any re-
lance can be placed in the statements of
high officials, 1t seems that some members
OF the Cabinet do not approve the policy
introduced by the President of removing
all the oficeholders in Missouri who con-
scientiously support the revenue reform
movement and that pretty warm words
have passed between them in consequence
OF the President having removed num-
Der of good Republicans in that State. The
strong protectionists have urged upon the
President to pursue firm and decided
course, and to remove all oficeholders who
entertain opinions antagonistic to the pro-
tectIve policy, while, on the other hand,
ne has been informed by members of the
Cabinet. and others high in official posi-
ton, that to pursue this course would
sure embitter mony Republicans against
the party, who support the administration,
but wish the privilege of voting against
high protective duties Many politicians
do not hesitate to say that the course of
the President would make wider the diVi-
slons already existing In the Republican
ranks IN Missouri and in all other parts of
the country on the tariff question, which
will be sure to make itself felt in the next
Presidential contest. The Democrats here
generally seem well pleased at the condi-
ton of affairs created by the Presidents
interference and say that as he gives the
weight of his official position in favor of
the protective party in Missouri, its defeat
cannot be regarded as other than n triumph
over the administration

The New York Sun gives curious Sc
9uel to the story of the attempt Of Gen.
Woodford's friends to reconcile Grant and
Greeley. It seems that the move toward
reconciliation came from Grant himself
The President, IN view of possible contin-
gencles IN 1872, wished to secure the phi
losopher whom he had so slighted, and to
that end cultivated the acquaintance OF
General Walbridge to the extent which
gave rise to rumors of Cabinet appoint
ment for that gentleman. But it was be-
cause of Gen. Walbridges influence with
Greeley, neither of whom the President
had come to consider of so little account
as he did few months ago. Another
paclhcator was Hon Ethan Allen. and
these two endeavored TO arrange an inter
view between Greeley and Grant when the
latter passed through New York on his
way from Long Branch to Boston ~ But
Greeley was engaged in looking over the
American Institute Fair, and couldn't
leave that to accept an apology from a
President. The next endeayor was made
to secure meeting on Grants return trip
from Boston, and Greeley gave the medi-
ators encouragement but no promise. All
day long the President sat in the Astor
House parlor, bored with men he didn't
care to see, but the old white coat never
came up the granite steps. Subsequently
he learned that Greeley had stepped out
to Colorado, preferring agriculture and ir-
rgatlon to making up.

From the N Evening Post, Radical.l
r. When Mr.. Cox entered the Cabinet he
understood, in common with the rest of
the country, that President Grant intend
ed TO carry on the administration, not as a.
party machine, but as a genuine public
service. 1t was understood, at that time
mat General Grant would make no reno.
Vals for political reasons, but only for good
cause, dishonesty or incompeteney.
secretary Cox apparently took the
PRESIDENT at his word and believing that
II was the part of the executive, rather
IMAM OF Congress, to establish the needed
reform OF the civil service, he instituted
IN the department of the Interior. a we'll
framed and vigorous system of conneti-
tive. examinations, under which he has
made appointments.
1t followed, Of course, under this theory
that Government clerkships could no hon
ger be used as party tools; and Mr.. Cox
very rightly refused to allow the marty
managers to exact contributions from the
persons employed in his rdepartment-
Here, OF course, he encountered the vehe-
ment' opposition of, the politicians and

not the sympathy of the President.
But AIR. Cox has persisted in spite of
this, and 1t Is now reported that the Pres
dent, IN opposition to Secretary Cox. has
insisted that the Government shall con-
tlnue the pay of clerks who are absent
from their duties avOwedIy on party SER
vice. .
Thus ends, it seems, all hope of a reform
OF the civil service under the administra-
tion of President Grant. All friends of
pure government will grieve but thew
must rejoice that Secretary Cox has stood

honor, and with the respect of the coun-
