GARFTELD's TANEY SPEECH, which on It's
appearance, was criticised somewhat 5evesely
by the Leader, and thereby, if for no other

its propricty, and how far the General was
violating his patriotic impulses by the views
expressed.

Neullly and the other at Point Du Jour.
The former advanced at pretty rapid
pace up the Avenue Grand Armee, direct
Tor the Are de Tromphe, the French
troops vaeating it rs the Germans ap.
preached. The other column, entering
at Point Du jour below Auturill, COM
mebced TO march along the Quay on the
north side of the Seine, direct for the
Place de la Corcorde, where the rem
dezous Of the two columns was 6xed. The
zone surrendered TO the Germans was
almost entirely free of French. 1t com.
mences at the extreme southwest corner
of the enciente, which forms a point,
and runs in the shape Of an irregular
triangle, of which the Seine forms the
east side and the cnciente from Point
Du Jour to Point Des Ternes, the west
side of Foabourg ST. Honore and the
Avenue Des Ternes, from Rue Royale to
the enciente, the north side or base. The
only point within these limits retained
by the French are the baking establish
ments of the army of Paris, the Quaide
hill and Port nu Jena. The triangle
was admirably chosen for stragetlc pur-
poses, with its right protected by the
Seine, and its lett by the enciente. Thirty
thousand men would be able to hold the
north side against one hundred and fifty
thousand.
As the troops proceeded along the
line, the artillery took position from
Forte de Neuilly to the Place de la Con-
corde, and from Point Du Jour took the
same pains as a precautionary measure
Nothing could exceed the splendid ap-
pearance of the troops. Despite the
hard service they had seen, the rest af-
forded them during the arnistice seems
to have obliterated most of the traces of
a campaign. They turned out in as per-
feet order as on parade ground at home.
BY noon on the Sd, the evacuation of
the city was complete.

The continued and ALARMING development
of the spirit of lawless violence in the South
imperatively demands the consideration of the
Legislative and executive powers Of the ma
ton, and as the attention Of both these depart
mcnts have been turned in that direction, II is
not impossible that during the brief space left
for action, Congress will follow the lead Of the
President, and give the matter the attention
called for. 1t is the duty of the government
to protect its loyal citizens Of the South. The
necessary expense Of force sufficient for this
purpose is nothing Democratic clamor is
neihing and the summary stringing up OF
few of the ficnds in each locality where found
kcnnellsng, would he nothing-more than
what is required and richly deserved. After a
four years war and its expense in life and
treasure 1t seems as if it was about time for
the enjoyment of freedom and security for al.
most any shade of opinion or complexion.

A most gratifying as we'll as amusing check
mating of those uKlnx dPyAls that represent
kentucky patriotism and loyalty, has recently
transpired The story is that some time since
a aegro mail agent was put on the road be-
tween Louisville and Lexington. Soon after
he was attacked at Benson Station BIZ un-
known persons. The negro showed himself
more Of man than his cowardly assalants
Since then squad Of sOldens have been
guarding the road. A few days since
crowd Of white rascals were gathering at and
near Frankfort, for the purpose of overcoming
the military guard and killing the mail agent
On this information. being communicated to
the Post Master General, he meted out
poetic Justice, by hauling of the mails direct
between Louisyille and Frankfort All par
! ties are somewhat astonishea aud seriously in
copSeDience1 and the matter is the subject of
considerable speculation and more complaint
We shall, now, perhaps, have an opportuni-
ty OF seeing how far the good people of Ken
lucky are able TO restrain these lawless ruf-
fans, whose murderous operations 1t is so diff
cult to put down when no one suffers but the
loyal and true. The p. o. department is wor-
thy of special eOmmendatiQn for its ingenuity
in applying the corrective in this-Gase. If
they don't know Low 70 tEeat those whom the
Government have set to secure them in the
enjoyment of their immunities, why, no better
course could be devised than TO exclude them
from such enjoyments, by leaving them cut in

hap, of repentance. We shall wait with, some
curiosity, to see what effeattlis kind of treat

levy local tax for free school purposes. Provision was
also made for the creation OF State school fund.- to DC
annually distributed. In nearly every county In our
sfae those local school taxes were regularly Levied col
Iocted and applied to their specific purpose IL Is true
that great majority of people chose to patronize
pryae schools and that on that account hcay assess
