transportation in the United States. The act
does not take effect till October /, after which
all railroad companies are prohibited from
keeping animals in continuous confinement
Tor more than twenty-eight hours without un-
loading for five hours and properly feeding

THE MEMORY OF LEE.-Scarcey is the ink
dry (says the Baltimore Gazette) with which
was written on the pages of one Of England 8
great periodicals the unstinted praise of the
great Confederate chief, when we find a new
testimonial on the other side of the Channel
The Revue des DeuG A0hdes for June contains
an elaborate memoir and panegyric from the
pen of an American woman, who is described
by the foreign journals as General LEES niece
He have room but for the concluding passage
Of the criticism of this memoir by the French
correspondent Of the London Times
There is something exceedingly touching in
Mrs. Childe's description of Lees latter years
Ruined by the war, his property ravaged and
contiscated, he passed them as President of
Lexington College, at a salary much inferior
to the Que offered him, and working, with the
earnestness and seif-devotion that marked ev-
cry act of his life, TO restore the Virginian
military STRAIGHTFORWARD by the English in
l740, and endowed by Westinghouse the
prosperity 1t had lost in consequence of the
war. Hunter, the Federal leader, noted in
that contest for his ravages in Confederate ter
ritory, had converted the College into heap
of ruins. II have a mission to fulfill said
Lee. 81 have led the young men of the South
under lire; | have seen many of them fall be-
meath my flag will now devote the rest of
my life to make those who are intrusted to me
men OF duty" The same note, unchanged
by years. He had his reward When he went
to Lexington he found the College deserted,
resourceless, disorganized, ruined when he
left it, summoned to better life, in October,
1870, it was rich, fourishing, and full of pu-
pills. His work was done, and he departed in
peace.

GEN. JACKSON AND THE RAILRoADs.-While
Gen. jackson was President of the United
States, from 1929 to 1887, he was accustomed
to travel in his private carriage from Wash
ington 10 his home at the Hermitage, in Ten
nessee. AT all the stopping places on the route
the people of the vicinity assembled 30 meet
him and hold friendly intercourse together
In the summer of 1886, while passing through
the Valley of Virginia, he stopped to pass the
night in a small village in Rockbridge county
As was his custom, he had friendly chat with
those who called to see him. Railroads at that
day were few, and the public were talking and
specializing upon their success and usefulness.
General jackson told his hearers that they
would succeed and become very popular, and
turning to several young men present, he said:
"Young gentlemen, you will live TO see the
day when these roads will become great mo-
nopolies, controlling the State Legislatures,
and even Congress itself; in fact, they will be
worse than the United States Bank" One Of
those young men thinks he has lived TO see
this prediction fulfilled. - Charlottesville JET.

The Farmers Oranges Of the West have
their legitimate effect in the formation of ono-
ther secret organization known as uTbe
League of Justice The primary object of
this League is represen. led to be the repudia-
tion of the railroad bonds issued by various
county, town, and municipal governments
throughout the Northwestern States. and the
seizure and common division of lands that
have been granted away to corporations bv
the United States Congress. The information
comes from st. Louis gentleman, for whose
responsibility the Republican vouehes, and was
obtained by him in conversation on two sepa-
rate occasions with two men purporting to be
members of the League, one from Kansas and
the other from Illinois. The character of the
League, as communicated by these two men,
is revolutionary, and its purpose is not merely
TO prevent bond swndles, land steals, and the
growth of monopolies in the future, bu. TO
overthrow those of the past The Illinois man
ana the Kansas man agree as TO the Character
istics Of the organization in general, but re-
fuse to communicate any of the details. They
claim that the League is established in Kansas.
Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri, and is making
Roadway in Texas, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
They represent it as more ''Masonic'' in char
acter than the Oranges, and the organization
IS divided into lodges under central control.
The next thing we hear of will be that some or
all of the members of this organization are ar
raigned in the United States courts for OBJ
structing the laws.

Because we admit "Reformer' into our col
umns it is not to be understood that we en-
dorse the article. This paper did not object
to the nomination Of Hon. MONTGOMERY BLAIR
but deferred all nominations to the Democratic
County Convention. This is what "Reformer'
objects to, and here we join issue though we
shall enter into no controversy with him he
is too intelligent a gentleman not to know that
this mode OF making party nominations has
existed for half II century, and that the Offices
belong to the people, and that the majority
ought TO rule, and everybody knows that if
the Radicals were in the ascendancy in this
county there is not an Office worth free cents
year that would not be in their hands. Gre
former" says there is no important "political
question" before the people. On the next Lee
gislature will devolve the election of United
States Senator in the place of Mr.. Hambleton,
which we consider very important matter,
and therefore it is important that the Demo-
Gratis should carry the Legislature. 1t is the
prize for which the Radicals are seeking, and
we say to the Democrats stand by your guns
and support your party nominations.

DEMoORATIc STATE CoSyEETION.-The Demo.
cratic State Committee assembled in Baltimore
last week and fixed upon Tuesday the 18th of
August next as the Time for the meeting of the
Democratic State Convention, TO nominate
candidates for Comptroller and Clerk of the
Court of Appeals. 1t is right in the dog-days
when the heat of the summers sun is intense.
and will make canvass of three months
when, in fact, the work could be better done
in much less time But perhaps, the com
mlttee acted upon what used TO be the custom
in the better days of the Democracy, to do all
the quarrelling before they met in council and
then when the nominations were made all mo-
we'd in harmony md elected their candidates.
In these good old days ii was something to be
Democrat-the work was well done-and
though we did quarrel among ourselves, no
intermeddling was allowed from persons of
the opposite party. Like the quarrel between
husband and wife, the one who interfered was
pretty sure Of tlrashing, while the parties
kissed and made friends. These family lars
would take place in the Democratic party. but
they always did their quarreling before the
election, ard at voting time they were all at
the polls and supported the candidates with
surprising unan:mity. When this thing is
done again the Democrats are going 10 win
The majority of the white people of the United
states are Democratic is a fact beyond dispute,
but they are not united as OF yore-discordnnt
counsels prevail-al aspire TO be leaders as
indeed they are-but when the nominations
are made we must take our place in the ranks
and rally to the support of the chosen leader.
Every man cannot get bis choice, that is i'm
possible, but all can support the nominees.
we admit that divergence was made from
strict party tactics in the nomination of Mr.
Greeley, and no blame ever was or can be at
tnched TO those Democrats who refused to sun
port him. lie had not been with us and of MS
But under the circumstances then existing it
was thought best to give him the nomination,
to bring about, if possible, better state of
feeling with the North, and to show the sim
certify of the Southern people in "acceutine
the situation" These were some of the causes
which secured that nomination, and whether
wise or unwise, Deed not now be discussed -
Mr.. Greeley sleeps in bis grave and all ami
mosities ought 10 cease. We can, however
learn from the history Of that campaign the
Importance of unity in our ranks and at the
same time teach the lesson to those who have
the power, not to make nominations for State
and County officers, of any but true and ac-
ceptaole Democrats-tnen of acknowledged ca
pacity and fitness and unblemished INTEGRITY
-.
This done, we feel assured that the Democracy
OF Montgomery will rally to their support.
The time for the primary meetings will be
fixed by the State Democratic Committee for
the county of course at time TO suit the
convenience of the farming community.
