The Virginia Herald, doesn't understand
the game of turning from Republican to
Democrat and fighting niggers. We are
glad of it, and hope it will continue to be
Ignorant of it.
Judge Wingfeld, of the Bedford district,
has decided to fine Gov. Wells $50 for q
contempt of his court. We imagine Gov
Wells is lawyer enough to care of himself,
and will bo likely to do so when occasion
demands it.
The crops of Bedford, Botetourt and

THE KU-KLux LAw.-The instructions
OF the war department to the army officers
in the South show that the law is to be
vigorously enforced. We are informed
that !args body of the ablest detectives
in the country have been for some time
past working up the secret organizations
of an unlawful character throughout the
South. They have placed the department
10 possession Of the names of parties in
these organizations, and, holding confden-
tlal relations with them, we may expect
some startling disclosures soon in that
quarter. With this Information in bis
possession, the stern executor OF the law
will know where to strike.

The Fredicksburg Herald says the fruit
of victory is ready to fall into the lap of
Democracy in 1872. That old hoary-
headed rebel sinner Democracy has been
holding bis lap, with the devil up in the
tree shaking away, for ten years or more,
without a particle of fruit being caught,
except what may be seen by visiting some
of our numerous cemeteries. Fredericks-
burg received a small share of this fruit
sometime during tho late unhappy diff
Guilty, and we presume wants no more of
such fruit as turns to ashes.

Davis, and he too, most respectfully de-
clined.
We don't pretend to say what Hoffman's
motive for refusing was, but it is liable to
two constructions. He was either afraid
it would injure his chances for the next
Presidency, with the people of the North,
who are not particular admirers of Davis !;
or il was done to deceive us here as to the
real object Of his visit. In either event,
we are disposed to believe Mr.. Davis must
feel badly and begins to know how it is
himself, in regard to the choosing of asso-
eates.
Some of our cetemporaries have been
diligently searching to find some ground
upon which they might contradict our
"phizzle," without success, and we predict
that labor in the same direction, to deny
''another phizzle," will be attended with
like results.
To win is to be great to lose is to be
small.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

AS the time approaches for making city
nominations, we desire to remind our Re-
publican friends of the Importance of
bringing out their best men. Personally
we would be very glad to see the munich
pal election conducted without regard to
party lines. What is needed in Rich
mond is a return to the solid earth from
the waywardness, hostility and Quixotic
madness of its political life. Its leading
politicians are wasting their energies on
sentimental politics. If all good citizens
could be induced to unite, and selecting
men from all parties of the highest intellir
gence, business ability, patriotism and in
tegrity, the affairs of the city would be so
administered as to restore confidence at
home aud abroad. Chicago, with Re-
publican majority of 5000, and Milwau-
kee with Democratic majority of 500,
did so few weeks ago, in both cases with
the best results.
We hardly dare expect anything so
sensible in the hot and unhealthy atmos-
phere of Southern politics. The business
men and the workingmen of our city are
the true conservative class. With them
must originate any movement of reform
which hopes to be successful. They and
their families have everything at stake.
Such an administration of affairs as shall
revive the dropping industries of the city
and State, give life and activity to trade,
and increase the value of property, can be
secured only by putting forward good men,
whose intelligencs is undoubted, and whose
business integrity is unimpeached,- men
who have such an interest 10 the good
name and prosperity of the city as to give
security for the faithful discharge Of their
public duties.
Such men will not stocp to make the
municipal government mere adjunct Of
machinery, OR disgrace themselves and
burden the property holders by wasteful
and corrupt expenditure. They can be
found, if proper search is made, without
the aid of the lantern of Diogenes. How
welcome to all of us, would be an election
in which all parties united to present such
candidates. 1t would inaugurate an era
of fraternity and good will which would
soon obiterate every root of bitterness,
and open to our depressed and impoverish-
ed people, a prosperity and happiness OF
which they never dreamed before

The Column VendOme-The Gre,
Monument Destroyed.

mon umenC OestrOyoOs
For nearly two hundred years the site OF
this beautiful column has been famous
It was as long ago as 1888 that Louis
Quatorze founded the square, and although
his designs were not completed, colossal
equestrian statue stood until 1892 in its
centre, to remind the Parisians of the
glories of the reign of the magnificent
monarch. Its sorrows had long been we'll
nigh forgotten. To replace this statue,
which had then been destroyed, Napoleon,
in 1906, ordered a triumphal column, by
which his victories should ever be remem-
bered, as were Trajan's by his pillar in
Rome, upon the model Of which that of
Paris was built.
The shaft was formed of two hundred
and seventy-six plates of metal, cast from
twelve hundred guns taken from the AUS
trians and the Prussians. From height
of one hundred and forty feet the effigy in
bronze of the great modern conqueror
looked down upon the city at its feet, and
from base to capital were twined in alto
reliepo representations of the triumphs aud
achievements of the campaign of 1906
and Austerlitz. In the reaction of the first
Bourbon return, in 1914, this statue OF the
conqueror was removed, and one of
Henri of Navarro substituted but
when Louis Philippe, the citizen king
reigned, another statue Of, Napoleon, cast
from the cannon of Algers, taken in $780,
dressed with the historical great coat and
cooked hat, was again elevated, and the
old hero of Navarro removed to one of the
bridges over the Seine. 1t is this, the
bronze record of former victories over their
late conquerors--it is this, cast from the
guns of Algeria, now escaping from her
grasp, which Paris is willing to surrender,
anxious to destroy.

VERY IMPORTANT.

1t is very important that parties interest
ed should know that in order to vote at
the coming election it is not necessary for
their names to appear upon the books Of
registration, but that it is necessary, with
out being registered, for them to prove
that they offered to register, armed with
all legal qualifications, and oere refused.
The recent decisions of Judge Guigon, by
which several hundred of the legal voters
of the city were rejected by the registrars,
are not acknowledged by us to be correct,
and preparations are now being made by
which parties can demand their rights,
and if refused, may carry their cases be-
fore the United States courts, where the
opinion of Judge Guigou will be properly
considered
The necessary blank forms have been
prepared and all instructions necessary to
their procurement and completion, may be
obtained at the rooms of the Republican
City Central Committee, in the old Law
Building, corner of franklin street and
Capital Square. Persons who are situated
as we have described are urged to go at
once and prepare themselves for election
day. We presume there ara no Democrats,
who are not properly registered, therefore
our remarks do not apply to them, but
should there be any such, we extend them
the benefit of our advice, as we want to
see neither party swinded, but prefer to
see "fair play and free fight
