"Reminiscences OF Our War-A Nice Pack
OF Patriots.

Of Patriots.
The family quarrel of the New York repub-
licans, like all other family quarrels, is expos
ing to public view some very unsightly skele-
TONS The last, and by no means the least
revolving, is that which was taken out Of it's
closet by ex-United States Marshal Robert
Murray yesterday and paraded before
the eyes of the world in the columns of
the radical organ. With amazing and at the
same time amusing effrontery this ex-oficer of
the national government, who was one of the
foremost model patriots during the war of the
Southern rebellion, lets the people into some
Of the secret workings of department which
held the liberty and sometimes the lives of
American citizens in its hands According
to Murray, Mr. Thomas Murphy, the present
Collector OF the port Of New York,
when threatened with trial by military CON-
mission on charge of supplying shoddy hats
to the soldiers of the Union army, appealed to
the ex-Marshal to ''save him from Fort La
fayette." The ex-Marshal, on his own show
Ing, Immediately set to work to discover what
evidence there was in the hands of the govern
mont against his friend, and finding that
his own detectives were industriously hunting
up the case, introduced them to Collector
Murphy, posted them as to his ''cleverness"
and political influence, and became cognizant
of bribe of five hundred dollars being paid
to one, and similar amounts being promised
to two others. In referring to the latter the
ex-Marshal affords us peep into the mys-
%orioa of ha corvfCo IF which ho WQ ahin-
ing light. ''These two men" he says,
afterwards informed me that they got what is
known in detective parlance as the goose
which means that they were cheated"
Nobody cares straw for the squabbles OF
these republican cliques outside Of the few
political harpies interested in retaining or
gaining Office In regard to the charge oil
defrauding the government brought against
Collector Murphy, that gentlcman's version Of
the story is that an uuscrupulous enemy,
then powerful in the War Department, was
anxious to pack a military commission
to try the charges brought against him and to
convict him unjustly of the alleged offence,
and that his own efforts were directed merely
towards securing justice. Be this as it may,
the case against Mr.. Murphy was tried, and
resulted in his acquittal. But the whole
expose shows the character OF the
rascals who held almost absolute power over
the liberty of citizens during the war, and ex-
plains how it was that rottenness and fraud
eat into the very core Of the government in
the hour of the nations greatest danger and
tribulation.

TIE ANNUAL CONGRESS OF TIE LEAGUE OF
PEACE AND LIBERTY was opened yesterday at
Lausanne, Switzerland. The programme SUBJ
mitted to its deliberation includes the vexed
questions Of the day. The ultimate object Of
The League Is certainly laudable one, al
though many Of its members partake
Of the red tinge Of Communism; but If
it cannot enforce peace by peaceable means
il will have to conquer peace by war. Thus
1t would depart from its fundamental prn.
ciple and place itself in the same predicament
as the very governments whom it denouDces
FOR their warlike tendencies, for do they pro-
Iessedy ever 60 to war except for the purpose
OF securing an honorable peacei" If the
League cQphnes Itself to the solution of ques-
tons that properly belong within its pro-
vince 1t may exert beneficial influence
over the European nations and provoke
steady resistance to the extravagant military
expenditures and dark designs Of the diplomatic
busy-bodies whose selfish intrigues have
caused nearly all the wars in Europe, who
have fomented and pandered to national
prejadices until they have set nation against
nation. II was well said by one Of the speak
crs. that if the democrats Of France and Ger.
many unite there will be peace in Europe IL
spite of the intrigues Of Bonapartes and Bis

Fish, arrived at Cardiff, with Asiatic cholera
on board. Four men had died with it. BY
the vigilance Of the British authorities this
ship was prevented from entering the docks
at Cardiff. Now 1t is important that the
health officers of New York should be watch
full to prevent either yellow fever or cholera en-
tering our port, and that the city be thoroughly
cleaned. Thus far we have had no reason
to complain of DR.. Carnochan. He has been
yirilant, even when assaied by party press,
and when some of the shipping merchants
were cunningly endeavoring TO circumvent his
sanitary precautions. Let him continue to do
his duty fearlessly, and the people will sustain
him. But more than this is required The
Board of Health and all the city authorities
should be energetic and have everything done
to clean and make the city healthful. We
urge this more earnestly now, because there
is danger that amid the turmoil about the city
frauds and the deadlock in the city treasury
necessary sanitary measures may be neglected.
Money must be obtained somewhere, and al
any cost, to keep the city clean, whatever
other works may be suspended, in order to be
prepared for and to ward of the dreadful dis
eases that keep approaching, and that might
reach this metropolis at any day. Cholera OF
yellow fever here might do more damage thar
II third of the city were burned to th'
ground.

1t is AN inevitable law of history that
men, like walcr, will find their level, and
that greatness, as developed in mankind,
is neither IN accident nor Il mystery.
Attention has lately been called in the
senate of the United States, 10y senator
from Kentucky, in most solemn culogv,
to the life and character of General Rob-
crt Edward Lee, who commanded the
military forces of the late Rebellion. Ii

country.
Gen. Lee WAS Il man of Il generation
now passing away. a scattered few
only of his early rs, Gates now remain.
He was born in Virginia n 1906, enter
ed the Military ACADEMY at West Point
in 1925, was graduated in 1929, and
married Il Mrs Gusts, an hcires<, and
daughie Of an adopted son OF Gen.
Washington. Fr.m this alliance he in
hrrlted the Arlington estate. And to
possess again this property for bis wi low
was the object of the resolutions prc>cnt-
ed by Mr.. McCreery, Of Kentucky.
That discussion led M to an cxamina

prcsideat of the United States, called a
special session of the senate TO convene
on the 4th Of March following. And
upon that day, at II o'clock, Abraham

You will excuse me from taking any
more chances for those beds. The rail-

home while, buy package of those in

cannot be too cautious.

The CHINESE TREATMENT OF WOMEN.
One of the greatest falings in the char
acter OF the Chinese, is want Of respect
for woman and the main defect in their
unique and wonderful civilization, and,
indeed, the chief hindrance to their pro-
gress TO more enlightened life, is the
want Of her influence in shaping an l con-
trolling the sentiments and customs of
Chinese society. She has no social posi-
ton or influence. Her condition is but
one step above that of a slave. She is
regarded, rs she is in fact, as tool for
mans pleasure or convenience, and as
greatly inferior to him in all respects.
She Is not cultivated. in our sense of the
term. Her face is utterly blank of in
telIlsence and refinement. Very rarely,
indeed, is that chaste and delicate feeling,
and tender, thoughtful sentiment, which
Is the crowning glory Of the Christianized
woman, especially in America, seen sleep
ing III her features, or flashing from her
eyes, or sparkling from her lips; but the
whole contour and expression of her face
is painfully stolid and repulsive, and has

the angel.

n FEARFUL RIDE.-Frank Trask, n
fireman, running on the night freight
train from this city 10 Providence, had
most remarkable escape from death on
Saturday night last. As the train was
going on the down grade east from the
summit OF Bolton mountain, he went to
the forward part of the engine TO oil the
piston, lost. his hold, and was thrown
forward on to the cowcatchcr, but instead
oil rolling off and being dashed TO pieces,
as he expected, the pilot caught him by

itet dragging upon the grounI-dashing

fifteen to twenty miles an hour. lie did
not lose his Consciousness nor his presence
OF mind. by desperate effort he sue
ceeded in keeping his head raised, So that
1t escaped the grounl-ihough he was
hanging close down, and the least de-
preston would dash lin to pieces. The
engineer, in the meantime, had not dis
covered the frightful position of his as
slstant till, thinking that he was gone
longer than usual, he looked forward and
there saw his shadow, by the light of
the moon, running phantom race with
the iron horse In an instant he whistIed
down brakes, and the speed began to
slack but in the sudden checking of the
train, the tender threads of Trask's Jack
ct broke, and he was hurled to the ground
pitching over and over; and vet he re-
tanned his scli-poSsession, and when his
associates arrived by his side he was as
clcar-hcaded as ever. Subsequent exam
lnatlon showed that there were several
cuts and contu~ions OH his legs and the
lower part OF his body, but no fractures,
nor anything of particularly dangerous
