| BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO VIRGINIA.
In speech made last week at Louis
vile, KY, the Hon. D. w. VOORHEES,, OF
Indiana, said:
III, on the other hand, was calling
witnesses for the Democracy, I would
point first to the old State of Virginia,
the most afflicted of all, the most torn
to pieces of all, with her male popula,
ton driven away, her bosom thrashed
with the thrashing machine of death
from one border to the other. She has
emerged as from fire of tent fold heat.
but she has fallen into the hands of
Conservatism. and not of Radicalism,
and no Radical, not even Ben. Butler,
dares wag his foul tongue or point his
felonious finger at her. ICheers. !
Aud this said TO him, too, on the floor
of the House. Virginia, the very head
and front of the struggle on the part of
the South-she in whose bosom lies
more buried valor than in any other
equal ground that the sun shines upon
-[applause] where heroes surprising
those that Homer sung of, met and
ciashed their swords and bIed and died
she On whose fate the whole South
hung, who never faltered, and when her
great leaders laid down their swords,
all others were lad down.

q The Cincinnati Enquirer states
that Republican said III the hearing
OF one of its editors, "You Democrats
will carry Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New York this fall. 1t is the only way
that we who are opposed to Grants
denomination can beat him. If we lose
those great States he will be quietly
taken off the field, and a new man
substituted who can be elected in 1872.
We think it is better to be beaten this
fall in three or four State elections
than to lose the United States with
Grant next year."

Grant and the Louisiana Split.

A delegation of the friends of Gov
ernor Warmoth have called on the
President and laid before him an ac-
count of the conduct of his supporters
in the matter of the late Louisiana
Radical Convention. The Warmoth-
| ties want to know if the President
countenances his brother-in- law, Col
lector Casey, in his recent novel expe-
dient of obtaining an Endorsement of
the administration at the lannon's
mouth, and if he does not they demand
his removal as well as that of Long
street, Packard and the rest of Grants
able bodied relations who hold office
under the Federal government in this
State. This is bringing the interfer-
ence ofthe Grant administration in the
recent Convention to a point. Grant
is now forced to act in the matter aud
must either endorse the conduct of his
brother-in law, or else remove him, be-
cause the Warmothites are determined
to take nothing less than a removal as
proofof a disavowal of completely in
the disgraceful proceeding.
But the Warmothites must be very
green indeed if they really expect eth
ef disavowal or a removal of the
Presidential relatives. Grant will dis
avow his agency in rupturing the Con-
vention, because it can be proved that
Casey and his friends had spent weeks
at Long Branch in maturing with
Grant the plan which has succeeded ac-
cording to their desires and expecta-
tions. Besides, even if Grant should
disavow any connection with the mat
ter, it is not part of his nature tore
move any of his relations who have
fastened themselves on tile treasury,
no matter what may be their political
or personal transgressions. Casey,
Packard and LoDgstreet will, there
fore, stick to their places, and give
Warmoth great deal more trouble |
than he imagines.
So far from removing them it would |
not, surprise us much if he removed |
Warmoth and the other refractory Rad
lcals in Louisiana. The Dunnites say
he once removed him very summariIy
from the army, and that Grant would
not hesitate to dispose of him again in
5he same way if he should prove
troublesome to him. Such proceed
ing wonld be no more outrageous than
the reconstruction of Georgia, and
would perhaps be little less illegal
han Warmoth's mode of getting rid
Of the Dunnites who have been elected

took the lead and held it like grim
death. John Harper looked like one
at the death bed of a friend-hOpe,
sickfy hope beamed in his countenance,
and that was all. Not word escaped
his lips. He saw his love, his pride,
his idol, break down before his eyes,
while ten thousaud demoniac voices
shouted and made bedlam OF the grand
sand.
"Longfellow has been drugged,' .
growled Colonel Bridgeland to old
John. John Harper made no reply.
His heart seemed broken, and "He's
gone" were the only words he uttered.
As he muttered these words I felt a
feeling-a psychologist feeling of pity
for the good old man. Demoniac
shouts went mp from ten thousand
hoarse throats, but old John heard
them not. He heard, saw pothing
but his painting horse, heard nothing
but his hard breathing. I got mp and
walked down to the track with him,
He walked up by Longfellow his de-
feated pride, his dead hopes, but was
silent as the grave. The grand old
horse stood trembling, with lis head

too much for him. Enquirer Jim ran
into the weigh house, dotted his suit,
and went m ournfully back to the sta

owner.

HoNoR.-Every person should cul-
tivate nice sense of honor. In o
bundled different ways, this most
fitting adjunct of the true lady or
gentleman is often tried. For in
stance, one is a guest of a family
where, perhaps the domestic machin-
cry does not run smoothly. There
is sorrow in the house unsupported
by the outer world. Sometimes it is
a dissipated son, whose conduct is a
shame and disgrace to his parents ;
sometimes relative whose eccentric
tiles are cloud on the home. Or.
worst OF all, husband and wife may
not be in accord, and there may be
often bitter words spoken, and harsh
recriminations. In any of these ca
ses, the guest is in honor bound to
be blind and deaf, so far as people
are concerned. If q gentle word
within can do any good, it may as
well be said; but to go forth and re-
veal the shadow of an unhappy Sc
cret to any one, even to your nearest
friend, is an act of indelicacy and
meanness almost beyond parallel.
Once in the sacred precints of any
home, admitted to its privacy, shar-
ing its life, all you see and hear is a
sacred trust. 1t is as really contempt
IDLE to gossip of such things as it
would be to steal the silver or borrow
the books and forget to return them

Johnson or Grant !?

The New York Times, which is
winning golden opinions from al
sorts OF people by its fearless expos
ures of the city authorities of New
York, has still space on it's editorial
page for a column of satirical ridicule
of Andy Johnson, in connection with
the proposed visit of the ex-President
to France. The Times suggests, in
an ironical vein, that the tailor OF
Greenville would make an appropri-
ate close of his remarkable career by
accepting the Presidency or Emper-
orship of France, and by undertake
ing to set affairs in order in that
much troubled country; and trusts
that he will be received as the repre-
sentative man of our people and in
situations. All this is said in strain
of irony and banter. We do not see
the wit or point thereof, nor is it be-
coming in journal, which puts it.

instead of ridicule? Which would

DEFAULTING CoLLECTORs.-We take
the following from the Louisiana State
Register
A list of the defaulting United States
Collectors of Internal Revenue for the
last eight years has been published by
Mr.. Boutwell,, Secretary of the Treas
ury. The list embraces three hundred
and sixty-six names, and the gross
amount of the defalcations sums up
over twenty millions of dollars. The
biggest defaHlter is Frank Soule, of
California, who got away with seven
hundred and fortyfive thousand dol
lars-the smallest is B. F. Martin, of
Ohio, who owes two dollars and nine
teen cents. Sheridan Shook and j. f.
Bailey, of New York, come short about
tive hundred and fifty thousand dollars
each, while a number of their associ-
ates are behind over two hundred
thousand dollars. No State escaped
the dishonesty. From Maine to Texas.
from Florida to Oregon, the wickedness
prevailed. Oregon and Vermont had
the best sets of officers, and New York
and Ohio the worst. Democratic COM
munities were the most prolific in fur
nishing rascally collectors, which is
what might have been expected. Lou

A CHASE MovEMENr.-New York
Aug. 3O.-It has been ascertained
from authoritative sources that the
Warmoth delegation, now here from
New Orleans, apparently for the pur-
pose OF seeing Grant, are really here
to ascertain if there is any chance for
Chase movement here next year,
Mr.. Conway, the Louisiana State su-
Perlntendent of Education, states that
the negroes in the South are wild for
Chase, and SO are any number of Re-
pu6iicans. Mr.. Conway is rather
pleased with public sentiment in the
North in regard to Chase, and noticed
particularly that in numerous quarters
the report from Virginia of the Chief
Justices restored health had been re-
celved with great delight. It is not
unlikely that an informal meeting of
Chase men will be held in Washington
Immediately after the November cleo
ton, but before the assembling of Con-
gress. There are other straws here in
New York showing that the Chase
furore may break out again, and the
sooner than is generally anticipa-
ted.-[Exchange.
