GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.

To do this, we must say, that after
Democracy had expended all its venom, in
opposing the Republican measure of "Free
Schools" it has been doing, if not all, a
large part of its duty, 10 carrying out tic
provisions of the constitution, with refer
ence to them.
While we are disposed 20 do justice to
the party, we do object to the impudence
it exhibits in claiming to have been present
at th, "killng Of the bear" "Bett" was
there, and Stayed the savage brute, while
you were among the rafters., s
We wish Democracy would exhibit a
little modesty in this respect
We thank you for what you are doing
in the dissemination of learning, and shall
expect you, as long as you are in power, to
go on completing the work laid out for you
by our party.

THE vERsAILLISTS GAINING GROUND BIS
MARCK INTERFEREs --BURYING
THE DEAD.

Paris, May 6.-The commandant OF
Fort Vincennes has informed the Com
mune that the reaction has reduced the
garrison one hundred and fifty men, and
asks reinforcements. General Rossell has
complained of the interference of the Com
mittee Of Safety, and rejects the RESPONSE
bility placed upon him. He has gone to
Fort Vanvres, where he dismissed the
commandant.
The firing south of the city is vigorous,
while that at Neuilly and AsDieres is
alternately furious and weak. A fresh at
tack on the southwest side is impending.
Pyatt has resigned his membership of
the Safety Committee. 1t is said the Com.
muue has accepted his withdrawal, and re-
quires the remainder of the committee to
resign. 1t is said Generals Rossell and
Dombrowski arc upon unfriendly terms.
The Reuielie reports of the Bonapartist in
trigues at Geneva.
Versailles, NAV There was heavy
cannonading all last night and this morn
ing French battaries have been erected
and will open tomorrow, directing their
fire especially against Montretrart. Work
in the trenches between Issy and Vanvres
is rapidly advancing. No engagement
last night or to-day is reported.
Paris. May 7.--Official reports publish
ed by the Commune represent that all is
quiet in Vincennes. A reconnaissance
of the Versailists before Montrouge was
repulsed. In the engagement between the
outposts near Issy several Versaillists were
taken prisoners. The work of barricading
the Avenue De La Grand Armice is still
going on. Many arrests have been made.
Versailles, May THE official journal
Of Versailles, referring to tho proposed
congress of municipal councils at Bor-
deaux, says that the government would be-
tray France, the Assembly and civiliza-
ton, if it permitted Communist rebellion
to exist side by side with the regular gov
ernment.
A decree of the Paris Commune orders
the gratuitous restoration of all pawn
pledges under Eve francs 10 ratio on the
establishment of the identity of the origi-
nal pledges.
London, May THE firing has ceased
and quiet now prevails between the lines,
apparently by mutual consent. The par
ties are burying their dead and removing
the wounded. The Communists admit
that the Versailles forces are gaining on
them. The latter are pushing between
Neuilly aud the villages of Levalois and
Perrat, with the object of clearing the
Seine, and driving the Nationals to Clichy.
The Republican League sends five delegates
to the Congress at Bordeaux.

SCIENCE FOR THE YouNa--Heat, by
Jacob AbboH.--We have received from
Harper & Brothers the first of this fine
series of books, especially prepared to in
troduce young people and beginners to the
wonders of physical science. In this
volume Mr.. Abbott has succeeded in maxi
ing clear to the apprehension of every in
telligent youth some of the most obstruse
truths, relating to the phenomena of heat.
Starting with familiar facts, he leads tie
mind gently on to the contemplation of the
mightiest and most complicated forces re-
sulting from or causing changes of tenn
perature. Combustion is analyzed and
made simple in all its phases, from the
fame of candle to the burning of the
most refractory substances. The trans
mission of heat, its mechanical and chem
ical power, its variability into light,
and electricity, motion and all forms of
force, according to the latest conclusions of
science, are elaborated with charm of
style and wealth of illustrations, which
makes the book as fascinating as ro-
nance. Its beautiful lessons are strung
upon thread of narrative, detailing the
incidents of travel aud abounding, like
all Harper's books. with illustrations.
We hope to see the whole series soon in
every family and school library.

due to Southern loyalists, and we hope to
see them repaid to the last dollar. What

now, the evidence Of these claims should
be taken now and put in condition to

AS pREpIoTED.

Whatever may be the political senti-
ments of Capt. R. F. Trevellick, President
of the National Labor Reform Congress,
no one was permitted to Judge of them
from his speech recently delivered here to
the mechanics.
He may or may not be a Republican, SO
far as we know, but coming from the
North, as he does, it is fair to pre-
sumo, he belongs to one or the other Of
the great political parties of the nation.
The Enquirer of this morning states that,
"Mr. Trevelick did not come here for
nothing. He was fire-brand thrown
among us by Northern Radicals" This
is direct charge containing no single
word of truth.
Mr.. Trevellick was invited to address
the mechanics Of this city, by the Rich
mond Mechanics Trades Union, branch
Of the Labor Reform Congress, of which he
is the President; ignorant of his political
proclivities as well as careless of them.
For the first time we have this respecta-
bic organization, formed for the protection
of the workingmen, unyilingly dragged
before the public as political body, and
that. too, by a Democratic sheet whose
representative was present and heard every
word uttered by Mr.. Tevellick in the
speech calling forth the Enquirer's article,
and which, the following morning, made
no alluson to his remarks as being of a
political character. The mechanics of
Richmond are not SO wanting in common
sense as to fail to see the spirit Of the En-.
quirer's article, nor will they be SO weak
as to permit its dictations to govern them
10 their future conduct.
They have nominated a ticket irrespec-
tive of politics, selecting from their num-
ber men who represent their interests as
paramount to that of either political party,
and have soemnly declared to stand by it.
The speech of Mr.. Trevellick aroused
them to the past and present injustice per-
petrated upon them, as class, by tho
puny politicians of the present day, and
they have shown commendable spirit 10
thus early denying the right of parties to
longer dictate to Them.
This spirit has aroused the temper of
the Enquirer, which has SO long bsen
chaiped to the Democratic policy of''Rule
or Ruin" that it cannot brook any oppo-
sition to its dctatious. ia.t
The Enquirer is but an atom, among
the great body of men, who are moving
steadily onward in their march of progress,
and who are claiming the same rights o.
representation that are claimed and ad-
mtted by the Irish, Germans or negroes,
and in spite of its puny remonstrances,
will push on until their power is acknowl-
edged throughout the world.
The prediction Of Mr.. Trevellick, that
those who opposed his views would be
ready, after his departure, to controvert
and sssail them, has been verified.
1t would have been more gallant and
just had the Enquirer made its charges
during the visit of Mr.. Trevellick to Rich
mond, thus giving him an opportunity of
defence. This charge must fall harmless,
IS the truths and facts revealed by Mr..
Trevellick to the workingmen Of Rich
mond have taken SO great hold, that it
will require the strength of some other
source to move them, than the organ of

Couldn't See IA couple of Demo-

the business of other people, visited barber
shop this morning, on franklin street, in-
reply was well merited one "It is none, of
your business" A little further on, the
inquiry was repeated, and on receiving an
answer that two slept in the room, they drew
forth their record books, ready to take down
the names of the lodgers On being informed
that the too who lodged there were only mock
ing pirds, the gentlemen proceeded to other
quarters, sad but wiser men.
