Toward midnight the drum stirs in its
winding sheet; it begins to beat the roll
with a strange sound. Then come forth
from the tombs all the soldiers that are
dead-those Of Forbach and Wissem
bourg. They gather, in close ranks,
weapon in hand, and their wounds gap
ing.
As two o clock approaches, the trump
eter also comes forth from his bier; he
passes on his phantom steed sounding
the charge. All the dead cavalry rise
silently; the chasseurs Of Woerth and
the cnirassiers Of Reischoffen range
themselves for battle upon the slope Of
Sedan.
Then awakes in his turn the general.
He advances with limp, twisting his
mustaehe; wounded eagle follows
him, tapping his wings. A dull murmur
runs through the troops, an unearthly
sound, impeg leptible 10 mortal ears.
Then the soldiers cross bayonets, the
horsemen draw their swords
Terrified, the general takes to flight, and
a grand hunt takes place in the moon
light, all round the ramparts, while
voices from the ramparts cry, Sedan,

GEORGIA.

1t seems impossible for the Radical
party to do the fair thing. There is,
says contemporary, much feeling in
Georgia over the abdication and fight
of Bullock, connected, as ii appears to
be, with a conspiracy to place a man in
the gubernatorial chair who may not
have right to be there. The Georgia
Constitution provides that on the death
or resignation Of the Governor, the
President Of the Senate shall exercise
the executive powers of the Govern
ment" till a successor be elected and
qualified. Bullock published his resig-
nation the day before the Legislature
elect was to meet, and while the Legisla-
ture of last year was still in nominal ex.
istence. Benjamin Comfy, President OF
the old Senate, and having but one day
longer to retain that nominal office, an
nounced the resignation of the Cover
nor, and quietly stepped into his shoes.
The whole transaction has the appear
ance Of a trick on the part of Bullock and
Comfy to make the latter Governor, and
thus forestall the action of the Legisla'
ture that was to meet the following day.
The people of Georgia think that if Bul.
lock had any decent regard for the dig
nifty of the State, he would have sent in
his resignation day or two later to the
new Legislature, so that the new Presi
dent Of the Senate could succeed him
The Legislature will probably devise
some legitimate method of getting rid o.

THE ELECTIONS.

It is feared that the Radicals have Sc
cured the Legislature of Mississippi.
Virginia has gone Democratic by large
majority. In New Jersey the Democrats
have elected the Governor, but the Leg
islature is Radical. The State of New
York has gone Republican. The Legs
lature is Republican, while the city gov
eminent of New York is in the hands of
the anti-Tammany Democrats. Tweed
is elected Senator, and Seymour is de-
feated. Minnesota, Kansas and Wiscon-
sin have gone Republican, with heavy
gains. Illinois elects a Radical Congress-
man at large. Chicago elected the Dem
ocrat-Republican ticket. The Democ-
racy have not done well. If the result
of the October and November elections
are evidence OF the strength they will go
into the contest Of 1872 with, then their
cause is hopeless. We suppose we shall
hear no more discussions concerning the
New Departure, or any topic that di-
vides men who were once harmonious
With that departure departed the unity
of the party. Men seriously discussed
it, as if there was no cause for APP
prehension that we should soon have
no Constitutional Government at all.
All that is past, and the party in
power is stronger than ever before.
Conservative Republicans will not sup
port men running for Office as Demo
Gratis. That much is settled. No matter
what Grant may do, whether he enforces
the law or tramples it under foot, as be-
tween Democrat and him the Radical
leaders and masses will support MIN.
With the present lights before the Democ-
racy, it will be strange if they continue
to discuss issues that divide their ranks,
cripple their strength and render the
election of Grant but question Of
months. Without New York, what
chance is there for Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency The case is
utterly hopeless, and strengthens the
argument of those who oppose the policy
of nominating Democratic candidate.
Still something may turn up before the
fourth of July next, but to the eye of the
most sanguine the outlook is lowering.
