SoMXAMBULIsT.-The young man who
sells clodings and things at the corner OF
Fourth and Poplar streets retired to rest
last night at the hour at which moral
and exemplary young men usually retire.
He had wooed the drowsy god of sleep
and Murphy had enveloped him in his
arms, but he had neglected to close the
door securely. Scarcely had he begun
to enjoy his peaceful slumbers when an
apparition appeared that narrowed up
his soul, made each particular hair to
stand on end and his young blood to
freeze. With one bound he cleared the
bed and door at the same time, and
started wildly for Raleigh or some other
seaport town, when the apparition coolly
turned right about, walked out of the
door and on his mysterious way. The
apparition proved to be somnambulist
in the costume of Georgia major.

DAYS of fire-eating, he made speeches
In 1860 looking TO the participation OF
Tennessee with the rebellion. He la
bored loug and earnestly and effectively
to bring about the rebellion, but failed
to wade in Yankee gore after he got it
started.
Haynes is not popular, although a
man Of decided ability. The fact that
he did so much towards bringing on the
war, and so little Of the fighting after it
was brought on, counts against him.
Between Radical Lewis on enc hand,
and Radical Haynes on the other, Col.
Kellar will get good vote, and it would
rebound to the benefit and credit Of the
district to elect him.
Where the intelligent correspondent

THE courts martial business always
develops frightful crimes by committing
them. A death s.head presides over these
tribunals when dealing with civilians.
In our own country we have had fearful
examples of the baleful effects of these
illegal and irresponsible courts. In
France the work done by courts-martial
from the time of the suppression of the
Commune up to the 18th of July has
been published by NJ. Depeyre. From
this report it appears that more than
nine thousand Communists have been
condemned by the French courts, of
whom seventy-two were sentenced to
death, one hundred and ninety-two to
penal servitude, nine hundred and fifty
two to transportation and confinement in
fortress, three thousand and eighty
nine to simple transportation, one thou
sand one hundred and thirty to deten-
ton, and three hundred and two to ban
ishment. Even NJ. Theirs, it is said,
has been unable to withstand the pres
sure of public opinion demanding ces-
sation of these things, and has intima
ted to the tribunals that executions must

SOME years ago an inspired idiot
named Sergeant Bates performed tour
of the Southern States, carrying the
American flag, and performed his pill
grimage without let or hindrance. Bates
now proposes to carry the American
flag from one end of England to the
other. Bates must be stopped imme-
diately. Should he during his trip
through Wales or Scotland excite the
ire of some loyalist and get his silly
head punched, the diplomatic affairs of
both countries would be very much com
plicated, and George Francis Train
would have to be called in in order to
settle the matter with an epigram.
Bates should be polite, and invite some
true Englishman to carry the banner of
St. George from Maine to California, and
flaunt it in the faces of the sovereigns.
We opine some enthusiastic Fenian
would attempt to haul down that flag
and tear it into tatters. Should the
Bates emblem receive like treatment in
England, the blood of both countries
would grow hot; the British Lion and
Unicorn would roar again and again,
while the American Eagle would scream
and tear her tail out because war was
not proclaimed Immediately. Bates
must be stopped. The flag Topping
business has played out long since.

The Cincinnati Gazette, leading
Radical journal and firm supporter oil
President Grant, opens out on nepotism
in trenchant style. Referring to Judge
Lewis Dent, who bludgeoned Henry
Reed, of the Capital, receAtly, the organ
says: He is one Of the brothers-in-lsw
President Grant is cursed with. He is a
pretty fellow to talk Of honor. His pro-
fession is dishonor. He is an attorney,
claim agent, broker, procurer, upon the
strength of the influence he is thought
to have by his relationship to the Presi-
dent. The pretense is an indeeency.
Had he particle of honor or manhood,
he would take himself away from the
capital, or to some other ostensible bust
ness" The attack by the Gazette is one
of the most astonishing things of the
times. To crush the tail Of the Wash
ington monstrosity and thereby damage
the head of the family, is running
fearful risk. 1t is throwing q percus.
sion shell into the midst of the Grant
ring of plunderers and scattering them
forever. The brother-in-law business has
disguised the country.
