1t is stated in some Radical papers that
large body of the ablest detectives in the coun-
try have been for some time past working up
the secret organizations of an unlawful charac-
ter throughout the South. The Richmond
Wing says, and says we'll and truly, that in
all ages these vermin have been the premonito-
ries or attendants of despotism. They never
had existence, for there was no use for them,
in free government. They are the natural
associates and indispensable tools Of corrupt
power When the leaders of political parties
employ government detectives to work up
accusations against citizens, every man is at
their mercy. Who will ever forget, who lived
here in the 'sreign of terror during the late
war, the infamous wretches employed as gov
rrnment detectives?

LOST RELICS OF THE PAsr.-Among the
saddest losses that thee country has had to mourn
for some time is the destruction of the old
colonial and revolutionary buildings by fire at
Alexandria, Va The country is just get
ting old enough to cherish warmly the
memories and relics of its young days, and
when it is known that among the houses de-
stroyed by this fire were the Masonic lodge of
which Washington was the Master and the
old Colonial Court House, in which his provin-
clal troops were quartered in 1854, from the
door of which Braddock marched to his defeat
in 1855, and in which ex-President Washing
ton gave his last vote, in 1899, feeling of
genuine sorrow is likely to come over our hearts
We could better have spared many richer and
grander edifces These relics are the things
that certify the truth of history. and in this
age OF lconoclasm, when it is argued that VIII
liam Tel and Shakespeare are myths, there is
no certainty that ere long some irreverent enc
my OF the past MAY not propose to prove that
there was no such person as George Washing
ton The old revolutionary flags in the Nh.
scum were saved, however-the flag of Wash
ington's body guard, the flag of Paul Jones
and that ola company Of Alexandria Cont
nentals. These lessen the misfortune in some
degree, but it is greater loss than busy peo-
pie of to-day have time to brood over this loss
of the grand old landmarks of the revolution
