In the National Republican of the

1871" signed by "Jas. w. Mason,
Judge, f Downs, county, attorney
and seven others, whom we suppose 10
he the same sort. Among them are one
clerk, one NJ. d., and three j. P's.
The letter is addressed to CLAYTON,
represents the killing of Wynn as a
ku-klux outrage, declares the intention
of the signers TO have the law executed,
and asks him. to lay the matter before
the President. The letter also takes
occasion to request and urge Clayton,
as their representative, to exert his
whole in huence TO defeat any measures
that may be brought before Congress
for a general amnesty or the enfranchis-
ing of those who "cherish the lost
cause" &C., &c.
In the same paper is dispatch from
Memphis of the 10th confirming the
report of the outrages of the mob at
Lake Village in taking the three white
prisoners from the Jail and numbering
them in the edge of the town, in riiliDg
stores DC, All this is published
without editorial comment.
We are inclined to doubt the genu-
ineness of the letter referred to, and
hope to be excused, if we are wrong,
for conjecturing that it was manufactur-
ed in Washington city for the purpose
forestalling public opinion in the mat
ter, and for the accomplishment Of
certain POLITICAL ends.
One of the three men no doubt killed
Wynn. The three, being present,
we're properly arrested and confined in
jail; but their summary execution was
the work of "A mob, without the shadow
of justification. Moreover, if the ta'
bles had been turned, and the mob
composed of white men, 1t would have
been pronounced a ku,klux outrage,
and visited with the seyerest punish

VIRGINIA.-A correspondent, writ
ing from Emory and Henry to the
Memphis Appeal, says: "The politi-
cal aspect of this glorious common-
wealth is truly encouraging. The
murky darkness which Radicalism for
awhile threw over its fair fame has
been dispersed, and the rainbow of
Democracy spans the ethereal blue,
giving promise of peace, happiness and
lasting prosperity. The people have
unfurled their proud banner, whose
silken folds hutter in every breeze and
fan her fair cheek. The recent election
in this county-Wash ashington--for mem
bers to the house of delegates, was
exciting, owing to the fact that several
Democratic candidates were in the race
who would not withdraw and center on
certain ones all their influence, but re-
mained in the race to the last. Fortu>
nately, however, the Democratic party
bore off the palm of victory. The
recent elections throughout the State
show an immense gain tor the Demo-
cratic party, and in the presidential
election in 1872 the old Dominion
will go overwhelmingly Democratic.

We have just been shown a commu-
nication from Capt T. II. Tennison,
addressed to Messrs. Baird Carruth q
Phillips, to the effect that he has
charge of the steamer Garry Owen,
and will certainly be in the Little Mis-
souri, with her as soon as the water
rises. He designs making regular
trips to the head of navigation during
the entire season. We believe that
Capt. Tennison is the right man in the
right place, and our shipping friends

hesitancy in hauling their cotton to
Tomkin's Bluff, Butchers Landing, or
any other convenient point on the Lit.

in every case from official records.

The Christmas holidays have come
and gone, and we have commenced to
tread the uncertain paths of another
year-1S72. 1t is time for serious
reflection. How rapidly the years pass
away! How many of these festal oc~
casions has the old TELEGRAPH SUR
vived and how unchangingly and
increasingly has it labored in behalf Of
the people. From the time of its
establishment by its venerable and be-
loved founder-A. d. 1S40-on down
through all the changing scenes it has
witnessed, even throughout the dark
days of the recent sectional troubles
always and under all circumstances, it
has been the staurch friend of the
people. Thirty-one years ago, when
the sites of some of our best business
houses were pine thckets, the TELE,
CRAFT was here, an institution. With
the growth and prosperity Of Wash
ington and of Hampstead county, its
history is most intimately connected.
In their dilapidation and comparative
desolation, it is still here, Singing
that same old tune" still pleading
as best it may, in behalf of
the rights of the people, many of which
it has survived. 1t has lived to wit
ness the shameful spectacle of taxation
without representation; and now while
the very material with which it is
printed is most grievously taxed, the
paper itself is prescribed By laic, and
its present proprietor digrancl'ised-
and that for no other reason than that
he had sufficient character and standing
before the war to be thought worthy
of little office. Is this, indeed, "the
land of the free and the home of the
brave ?" II is false The down.
trodden are not free, and those who
tread them down are not brave.
Honorable opposition and competi-
ton are desirable-necessary, in fact,
to the full and free development of
resources and energies, but disfran.
chisement and prescription arc, and
have been in all countries and all ages
the weapons of towards and the capital
of knaves.
Future historians will refer to the
years through which we havejust passed
as "the times of corruption" and the
number Of years to be included in the
expression we have no means of know
ing, but those who survive them, and
who are now observers of the startling
occurrences of nearly every day, will
have truths TO tell to their descendants
which will be stranger than the widest
fiction. That the events Of the present
year may bring to our friends, the
people, some measure Of relief from the
ills we have, is our most earnest and
heartfelt prayer.

The Chicago Times of recent date


has the following:
1t is daily becoming more manifest
that the real line OF division between
political parties in this country is not
indicated by the term republican" or
democrat. These words have near,
ly ceased to have any political signii~
canoe, beyond the mere fact that they
are names conventionally employed in
speaking of certain organized societies,
just as the Odd Fellows, and Free Ma
sons, the Tammany society, etc., are
names used for similar purpose.
They do not indicate the line which
really separates public sentiment in
this country into two general and op-
posite parts, as all the facts now APP
parent combine to show
In every part of the country, with
respect to general as well as local and
special affairs, the contest now pro-
ceeding is contest between the desire
for better and purer and more upright
administration of affairs. 1t is the
struggle between an earnest and daily
increasing desire for reform, and a
selfish ambition to keep things as they
are. 1t is the world-old battle between
virtue and vice, honesty and dishones.
ty. Persons calling themselves ere
publican" are found battling on either
side, and so are persons calling them
selves democrats The Tammany
ring of governing thieves in New York
includes persons from both these organ
izations. The opponents of Tamman>
yism in that city comprehend both.
The remarkable struggle in the senate
at Washington, which has been pro-
ceeding for week, is essentially a
struggle between the two great divis,
ions of public sentiment; between. lhe
reformers and the anti,reformsrs. and
not between democrats and ropubl-
cans;aames which seem to have wholly
disappeared from the controversy.
Carl Schurz, Lyman Trumball, Charles
Sumner, Reuben L. Fenton, styled
republicans, - standing side by side
with Judge Thurman, Mr.. Bayard, Mr..
Blair, Mr.. Stockton, styled "demo>
Gratis" contended against o. p. Nor
ton, John Sherman, Roscoe Conkling
and others, representing the anti>re~
form party. So, too, in Illinois a
governor, calling himself a member
of the republican party, boldly takes
ground against tho political vice Of
military aggression upon civil authors
ty, boldly proclaims the tenets Of the
great party of reform; and is supported
in his attitude by persons calling them
selves democrats" " as well as by per
sons calling themselves republicans"
men of different party names, but Of
common political sentiments and con-
victions. In Chicago, again, the same
phenomena are exhibited. The real
political division among the people is
the division between men who desire
better government, and men who de-
sire government as it is.
1t is impossible to ignore facts like
these; facts everywhere presented and
everywhere revealing the same general
pecuiarites. Is it reasonable 10 sup
pose that popular names or party or
glnizations which do deliberately at
tempt to ignore them can very long be
maintained?
