THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES recently
declared elected in Richmond, Va, by the
canvassers have declined to accept the Offices
unless the counting out Of the radicals was
fair, and they invited their late opponents to
contest the case in the courts. There is an
exhibition of chivalry worthy the Old Do
mion, and the severest rebuke to the unblu1R-
ing canvassers that could very well have been
administered.

A SERIOUS QUESTION IN AFRICA. A.-The
eolored citizens Of Palmas, in the republic of
Liberia, threaten to secede from the authority
and territorial rule Of the President Mr.
Walter Good was appointed Collector and
Postmaster at Palmas. Waiter has, like all
good men and true, political enemies, and
Walters opponents threaten to secede should
Walter enjoy the ''spoiis." This trouble
Originates the serious economic and geo.
graphical question Of where will they go to:
Further on away into the interior of Africa,
or still nearer to Exeter Hall3 The irnperia
successor Of the late King Kettle, Of the Wes
Coast should be named arbitrator Of the dis

PUBLIC FREE BATHs.-We are glad to see
that the new Department of Public Works,
under the management Of Mr.. Tweed, is MAX
ing ample provision for the construction of
public baths, free to the people. Better still,
the work is to be done quickly, before the hot
weather is upon us. This city, counting its
million and half Of people-including Of
course, our neighbors in the immediate vicini-
ty and the fuctuating population dropping in
from the country-ought to have bathing ac-
commodatious on both the rivers which encom-
pass the island. It is useless for the Board Of
Health to prescribe sanitary regulations for
the prevention Of disease if we do not furnish
our large working population with the means
most essential of all in the preservation Of
health-opportunites for cleanliness. The
necessity of public free baths is therefore
apparent, and it is satisfactory to observe that
the Commissioners Of Public Works have gone
into the matter earnestly.

ANOTHER FooLHAgDY ADVENTURE. "A little
steamer, twenty-one feet long, called the City
of Ragusa, we are informed, was advertised to
leave Liverpool yesterday for New York, with
a ships crew consisting of two men, the cap
tain and his mate, and with Newfoundland
dog as passenger. After this daring craft
shall have passed out Of sight from the land
we shall most probably hear of her no more; ;
and in the event of successful crossing of the
Atlantic we cannot perceive that anything will
be gained by it beyond the profitless glory of
foolhardy adventurer, like that Of the hero
of the circus who passes through some fearful
feat in trapeze swinging without breaking his
neck, or of the foolish fellow who walks sue
cessfnlly across the chasm of the Niagara
river on a wire with another fool on his back.
Yet we hope that whatever may be the fate Of
this aforesaid liliputian steamer, the two
daring mariners will be saved, for there must
be good stuff in them and that If the poor dog
comes through alive Mr. Bergh, the President
of the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals, will Immediately take charge Of him.

THE CoLLEoToRsHIp, 60, AND THE SPoIs-
MRN-One or two of our morning contempo-
raries yesterday published cock and bull
story from Washington of certain impending
changes in the big federal offices of this city,
such as the Collectorship, Surveyor Sub
Treasurer and District Attorney. We know
that ever since the appointment of his snbor-
dinates by Collector Grinnell numerous dis
appointed ''soreheads" have been clamorous
for change, and we know that such will be
the case with his successor. It always has
been and always will be so. If General Grant,
however, is satisfied with Mr.. Grinnell-as we
believe he is-and If Mr.. Grinnell is satisfied
with his position, the best thing the President
can do is to pay no attention to these disap-
pointed "soreheads." 1t is only the old story
Of the fox, the flies, and the swallow. As for
the other offices mentioned, they are of second
ary Importance, and may be filed with new
men at any time without stirring up that fero-
cious conflict among the spolsmen, the Sins 9
and the ''outs," which is sure to follow the
appointment of a new Collector.

Disruption of the Radical

ELECTION. The contest for tha
sGubernatorial candidacy was par.
rowed down to Governor Mcclure.

we'll known, aud Ex-Senator
Brown, who is in favor of she Inn
mediate acknowledgements of the,
100, 900 Democratic voters who werse
sdisfranchised for sympathy with
the South during the late war.
When the Convention met it soon
!transpired that the Brown dele.
zgates were in ratio of about three
ito four of all the members pres.
ent. A resolution was. offered de-
sclaring that the time had como
for the acknowledgment of every
voter In the State, aud was voted
down by the McClurg delegates
who constituted a majority. The
Brown delegates them promptly
Withdrew aud nominated Brown
i for Governor on a liberal pIats
form. The regular Convention
then nominated Governor Nc.
&Clurg on a proscriptive platform.
It is understood, we believe, that
there is to be a full Brown tick
let for Congress and the Legisla
Sture, and that the Democrats win
support it instead of nominating
IA separate ticket of theirowh. Il
will undoubtedly be successful.
Mr.. Brown is a Kentuckian, q

Death Of Gen. Robert E. Lee

On the 18th of this month,
Gen. Robert E. Lee died at the
age of 63 years and 8 months.
Thus another great man has
passed into history. He will
be classed among those great
generals who were unsuccessful
in the end. On comparing his
achievements with those OF
Hannibal or Bonaparte, they
may DO esteemed by remote
ages as of a secondary charac-
ter. But when the future his
torian shall go below the sur
face, aud inquire into the cir
cnmstances of the nations each
respectively commanded, then
Lee will assume his position
beside those great generals.
And as a great exemplar to our
posterity, he will be found to
far exceed each of them. He
yielded to events, as a great
man should yield. He did not,
as Hannibal, spend the even
ing Of his days in eoneoeting
schemes Of ambition nor as
Bonaparte, in fretting with his
jallors; but nobly begun a ca
reer Of usefulness as a school
teacher.
He is the great general of the
Secession war, or the Rebellion
war, as futurity may name it.
The generals who conquered
him, will never stand in com
parison with him.

Radical Taxation.

One of the effects of the rule
(which places the 'sbottom rail on
top" is disclosed in the interesting
matter Of taxes in Mississippi. In
Kinds county the annual State tax
has heretofore been about $40, 600;
this yearit is swelled TO nearly
1920, 000,. and, under the LAVISH pass
Jed by the last legislature, this
enormous figure will be the regu-
liar levy for some time to come.
The gentry who make the laws
and fix the rate of taxes in Mis-
sissippi do not own property them
SELVES, and have no mercy on
sthose who do own it; and the peo-
zple are beginning to think that
they aim to- force lands into mar.
ket, that they may purchase them.
The Kinds county Gazette says
The cause of this enormous and
unprecedented rate of State tax
ation we regard as two-fold. The
gchief movers in its favor in the
Legislature, were undoubtedly the
8meanest and most dishonest, but
shrewdest wing of the Radical
party. And their aim assuredly
was, to raise taxation such a stand,
lard, as not only to enable dishon
lest office holders to plander the
people but to render it impossible
for the land-holders to pay, and
thus necessitate the appearance
ION the block of vast bodies OF
Hand, which will be bought by the
Legislators themselves, and theil
8agents, at the taxes of IL single
year. The other cause of this ex
Mcessive taxation, resulted from
the ignorance of the great body OF
the members of the present legis-
Nature. There were doubtless
many we'll disposed men in the
observation-disclosures men even in
THE Radical party-but having
been ostlers, and BARRIERS, and
waiting boys, and boot blacks, all
their lives, it could not be expect
led that they could legislate intel
ligently, or could hold hand with
the dishonest white men who held
them as clay in their hands.

RADTCALISM IN NEW York
Radicalism iii New York, as III
Missouri, is split into pieces
There is no division on the State
Ticket, but there are any number
|of bolts on the Congressional nom
|inations. In what is called the
|Chautauqua district, there aretwO
factions, each with a candidate;
lin the Jefferson district there is q
division also; in the Saratoga dis
|trict Il bolt has been made against
Marvin, the regular nominee; in
the Rensselaer, district, the Troy
Times is in open opposition to the
regular candidate; and in those
districts where there is no actual
|schism, there is little unity. The
commercial Advertiser says tsthe
lookout is anything but encourag-
ling" for its party, and, "there is
danger that the Republicans may
lose four or five members of Con
|gress.n Added to these Congre
|sional divisions there is n, feud
going on between Conkling and
Fenton, the two Radical United
States Senators, which involves
the entire party and hastens its
|disintegration. The Presidenthas
Thrown the influence on the side
|of Conkling, and the friends of
|Fenton have not had their affec.
teton for the administration ir.
creased by the fact.

Renetentiary e'onvicts.

Im our State these were EN-
ployed for many years before|
the war in running a cottonI
factory. We believe they arei
to be shortly so employed again.
ar even now may be so employ-I
ed. This is hardly legitimate!
as it brings slave labor in CONF
petition with free labor, andl
the State enters into mercantileI
competition with its eftizens.I
But leaving this objection out,I
would it not more greatly bene-|
fit the State to have the ableI
bodied convicts employed I'M
building levees and railroads.
Jas heretofore?
So much work of this sort isl
needed that there is no compe-|
|tition in the labor market what
ever. Wages are just as high
las possible to be, and will like
" remain SO for many years to-
come. Five hundred or a thou
sand convicts would do yearly
Ia vast deal of levee building,
and could not diminish the
wages OF our laboring popula-
Ition.
These remarks have been
caused by seeing a statement
Iof the great number Of miles of
railroad lately built in Georgia
mainly by convict labor. The
people of that state are perfect
lly enthused on railroads, and
are covering their sparsely peo-
pied State with a net work of
them as compact as in the
North. Verify, We should be
up and doing, if we expect to
keep pace with modern civil
cation.
