g commemorate the memory OF the
rebel General Lee. This lecture is to be
repeated in all of the principal cities and
town of the South. He states in it that
Longstreet was traitor to the South
as early as the battle of Gettysburg,
and says that it was owing to his treach-
cry that the rebels were there defeated.
He has, of course, two objects in making
this statement. To " fire the southern
heart " and to disgrace General Long
street. We omitted to mention-and
this goes to show the absurdity of Pen
dleton's statement = that he says,
as an illustration Of Lees mag
nanimity," that Lee made no
mention of it, that is of Longstreet's
treachery, in his official report or other
wise. This statement of the Reverend
ex-rebel general proves too much, be-
cause, if it is true, then Lee, himself,
was traitor to the Confederacy, for
Longstreet, from that time forward to
the close of the war, was constantly
employed in the most difficult, danger
Gus and delicate positions, where treach-
cry on his part, would, at any time,
have terminated the war so far as Lees
army was concerned. We appeal to the
recollection of every one conversant
with the events of those days, to all his
tories of the war, and to the official doc
uments, reports, etc, of the operations
of both the Union and rebel armies for
the truth of this statement. But this
Pendleton knows that the average South
erner will not stop to reason on the sub
iect, that he will fire the southern heart,
and disgrace Longstreet in the South.
1t was all right with this clergyman for
one to be traitor to his country, and
he knows that the mass of the Southern
whites so believe. With him and them
it is an objectionable sin, now that the
war is over, for man to be true to him
self and to his country. General Long
street, after fighting the battles of the
South five years in the field, proving
himself among the best and ablest of
her generals, has seen fit to evince by
his actions that secession and a ''South-
ern Confederacy" are ''lost causes, that
his oath ''to support the constitution Of
the United States" is not an idle, mean
ingless form of words, and to affiliate
himself with the republican party. He
must, therefore, be struck down and dis
graced. 1t is the penalty prominent
Southerner has to pay for being honest,
for being a republican. If he was less
prominent, did he live on plantation,
did they dare, they would ''ku-klux'
him, or, perhaps, treat him as the arts
tocratic Southcrners did the poor repub-
lican negroes at Colfax. This they dare
not do, so this Reverend ex-rebGl goes
around the country to ''fire the southern
heart and hold Longstreet up as trait
or, not to his country, bnt to the ''lost
cause" 1t costs something to be Loyal
and a republican at the South, and Gen.
eral Longstreet is to pay the penalty OF
his honorable course since the war.

as now to the Supreme Court. ANY one
who has had case tried in the County
Court can tell something about what
would have been saved.
There were several witnesses, six
lawyers, three judges, a sheriff and dep
uty, the clerk and janitor, all to be paid
for their part in this service, either by
the parties or the State, and we have no
doubt that if this trial in the County
Court could have been dispensed with,
the village and State would have saved
expense enough to pay the salary of the
Judge of the Municipal Court for an en-
tire year, and the same equal and exact
Justice would have been done the par
ties that will now be done.
And this is not a solitary instance.
Every year furnishes more or less of
this same class of cases, suits involv-
ing less than five hundred dollars in
amount, that have no questions of fact
in them. And then again the law pro-
vides that the Judge of the Municipal
Court may try questions of fact by a
jury if required, and that on jury trial
the Judge shall instruct the jury on
questions of law, so that this Court, if
care is taken to get a competent Judge,
has all the facilities for trying questions
of fact that are inherent in the County
Court.
We do not desire to extend this article
longer in urging what to US appears so
plainly advisable. We hope the people
of the village will consider this question
and go and vote almost if not quite
unanimously for the establishment of
the Municipal Court, and will elect from
among the many able and qualified men
of the village a Judge that will place
the Court in high popular favor as a
tribunal of the people.

AN EXTREMELY SAD CAsE.-An ex-
treme and sad case occasioned by the
impossible roads occurred in Hartland,
during some of the first days of this
month. Mrs. James Hodgman was taken
sick and died before any physician could
reach her, and neighbors had to carry a
coffin hung to poles on their shoulders
for several miles. No clergyman could
get there, and she was buried on the
premises. Capt. William Savage, of
Windsor, brother of the deceased,
made two efforts to get to the house of
his sister, and only succeeded in the
second by crawling some of the way on
his hands and knees, arriving after she
had been buried

WOMAN Found DEAD. Mrs. Durkee,
an aged woman living near the town
house, in West Rutland, was found dead
in the field, some distance from her res
idence, on Friday afternoon. Itappears
that she had been visiting neighbor in
the morning, and on her return becom-
ing bewildered (since she had wandered
considerably out of her way lost her
senses, fell to the ground, and died from
exposure and over exertion. An inquest
was held over the remains on Friday af-
ternoon, and verdict given in accord
ance with the above suggestions. Mr..
Durkee, husband of the old lady, is a
book agent whose whereabouts was not
known on Friday. Mrs. D., it is said,
was an exemplary christian woman, and
notwithstanding her great age, eighty
years, walked regularly to attend all the
Sabbath and weekday meetings held at
the Congregations church.

Nearer Home.

IRv PHHBE CARY. Written in New OK
in 1852. Many variations of this poem
have been published; but the author de-
sired the following to be considered mel
version:
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER:
pm nearer home to-day
Than ever have been before;
Nearer~my fathers house.
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne, !.
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
But the waves of that silent sea
Roll dark before my sight,
That brightly on the other side
Break on shoIe of light.
O. if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
fit be I'm nearer home
Even to-day than / think;
Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the Rock of living faith

PAREss.

FATAL POISONING CASE Thursday
afternoon, as three children of Joseph
Sweeney, aged respectively twelve, eight
and four years, living south of Davis
brick yard, just west of the Harlem Ex-
tension railroad track, were rambling in
the fields about the brook near by, they
dug up and ate some root, which proved
very disastrous in its effects, prostrating
them before they were able to reach
home. Other children picked them up
and carried them to their fathers house,
where they suffered the most violent
spasms, and presented terrifying spec
tacle. They exhibited symptoms of poi
soning by some narcotic, probably poke
root, malignant poison of this class.
Dr. B. Fl. Haynes was called, yesterday,
and found the children in commissions,
with their tongues protruding, the pupils
of their eyes distended, their breasts
heaving spasmodically, and all evidenc-
ing some dire agency's powerful work.
The doctor did all in his power to save
the victims, but, Notwithstanding his
efforts, the second child died last night.
The eldest was not expected to live, but
the younger, it is hoped, will recover.
