INTERESTING TALKS AT A SOLDIERS
BANQUET.-At the ex-Confederate SOL
ders' banquet in Richmond last week. in
reply to toast to the medical profession,
DR.. J. S. D. Cullen, Chief Surgeon of
Longstreet's corps, said:
He knew not what a non-combatant
could say in this gathering of gallant SOL
diers unless to tell the story of how thew
used to come to the rear all mangled and
CORY, and how they bore their sufferings
with indomitable courage and pat lent for
titude. He would tell such a story. At
Gettysburg one of our bravest. general Off
GERS lay, as was supposed mortally wound
ed. At the request of General Lee him
self he called to see Him, and finding him
that he would recover. mol" said the
soldier. 81 shall certainly die. | have no
hope of recovery, and I wish you to carry
message to nv old comrades. Tell them
that 4rmistend's brigade covered them
selves with glory in the charge, and have
gloriously wiped out any unjust stigma
which may nave heretofore been attached
TO their name" And thus the noble SOL
der, expecting to die, had no word for
himself or his own command, but sought
to do justice to the command Of brother
OtuCtI. Lie nero ulu uOG ule. DuG sur
vived the war, and is here tonight as the
soldier-Governor of this ploud old Com
monwealth.
This incident was received with deafen-
ing applause.
In response to toast to the Virginia
Military Institute, Gen. FIJI. Smith said
that it would become him to ''take back
seat" since he had been called to duty in
the rear while these gallant soldiers served
in the fore front of xle battle. But he
coull say that the Virginia Military Insti-
tute had performed it's duty well, as is at
tested By the fact that 175 of its alumni
Gil hnnored soldiers graves, while $50 halt
md manned carry the proof of their valor
TIE Institute had been represented in all
arms Of the service. In the cavalry she
had such men as Payne; in the artillery
such men as Lindsay Walker, Carter
Crutchfeld, and Cutshaw; in the infantry
such men as J. A. Walker and host Of
kindred spirits. Let them speak for the

THE LIQUOR DRANKIN THE WASHING
TON CAPITOL. The Washington Capitol
correspondent Of the Baltimore" Sun77 gives
the following facts in reply TO temper
ance speech Of Senator Conkling at Brook
lyn:
When Mr.. Conkling says that now g liq-
uor is not tolerated III the capitol,7' it can
scarcely be possible that he does not know,
to say nothing Of other committee rooms,
that liquor is habitually kept and dispersed
in the rooms OF three committees of which
he IS q member. And it can scarcely be
unknown to Senator Con1lling that almost
directly under his seat ia the Senate cham
Der liquors are daily served to all who pay
for the same. So much for the Senate WING
of the capitol, with The ways of which Mr..
Cnnkling ought to be tolerably familiar
AS to the House wing, perhaps Senator
Conkling may not know that some Of the
committee rooms on that side We're
the daily and nightly scenes last winter of
such bacchanalian revels as to be public
scandal About SIX or seven years ago Vice
President Wilson, who was then Senator,
procured the passage of q concurrent resolt
ton forbidden splrituous or malt liquors
to be brought within the precincts Of the
capitol building, but never from that day

THE GREAT POLITICAL REVO-
LUTON.

The sudden and crushing disasters to the
radical party all over the country, crown
ed by the capture of Massachusetts, by the
Democrats, and the defeat Of Governor
"Shoot- Him -the-Spot'' Dix in New
York, and the reputation of Ben. Butler
for Congress by his district, is as unexpec-
ted as it is welcome. When ''Old William
Allen' arose from the grave in Ohio. he
kicked the lid off the coffin Of the Demo-
cratic party all over the country. After
the end OF the present Congress. there will
be no more legislation against the South
because she is the South, for after Decem-
Der, 1875, the Democrats will have about
20 majority in the lower House. With
word Of caution to the Prodigal Sons or
Democracy. who have been feeding on husks
so long, not to tear the fatted calf inside
out, we join in the general rejoicing.

DISCOVERING A GREAT MIsTAKE.-The
New ork Nation" which originally adj
vocated unlimited negro suffrage in the
South as condition of re construction,
now says that, after nine years. expe-
rience of its workings, it sees only one
thing to regret, and that is that the ad-
mission of the negroes to the franchise
was not made gradual, and through an ed
ucational test. Every man of sense in a
position to judge, as were the S outhern
and especially the Middle States people,
held exactly this view at the time.

A Bedlraeaaen Husband Saves his
WIFE, and Hnrogss gaead.

On Saturday last an itineran peddler en-
tered the house of James Telin, in Mir
giant, N. Y, and proceeded to display his
wares, and disputed Mrs. T. IS assertions
that she did not wish to buy anything. A
letter describing the tragedy which fol-
lowed says:
Mr.. Tnlin was confined to his bed and
had been S confined for many years, being
so crippled with rheumatism that it had
been long impossible for him to leave his
bed unless carried from it. After showing
his goods, and Mrs. Tolin not buying any
thing. the pedlar commenced a converse
ton. in the course of which he learned the
helpless condition Of Mr.. Tolin. Finally
he made al Insulting proposal to Mrs. To-
lin, and she Indignantly ordered him to
'eave the house. Instead, he approached
ser, saying, with an oath. that she was in
Ms power, Tvs her husband was as good as
dead Mrs. Tolin, being a delicate woman,
ran screaming into another room. The
Dedlar followed her, and, before she could
escape by the door, caught her again. A
desperate struggle ensued between them.
md Mrs. Tolin was thrown violently to the
floor by the powerful william. Mr. Tolin
had been all the time q witness Of the
struggle lying ''owerless in his bed AT the
sound of his wife falling on the floor, how
ever, and her frantic shriefs for aid, he
seemed TO he endowed with supernatural
power. Under the influence of that power
he sprang from the bed he had been unable
to leave for years. Selling heavy crutch
that stood pear the bed he rushed into the
room where the struggle was going on
Mrs. Tolin had succeeded in regainng her
feet, but the pedlar had grasped her around
the waist, and WAS en;leavoring again to
throw her. AS Mr.. Tolin entered thereon,
he singular spectacle Of a bedridden Grip
pie Fastening to the defense of his wife,
seemed to paralyze the scoundrel, and he
stood staring as if IN q trance at the APP
proach Of the husband. Mr. Tolin. nerved
by unnatural strength, brought the crutch
down over the head Of the pedlar and felled
him to the floor like an OK. The next in
slant the excitement and suDerhuman Ell
fort of the husband left him. With a shrek,
that told Of the intense agony of the re-
aud dropped to the floor. and almost in
stantiy expired.
Mrs. Tolin succeeded in getting the body
of her husband back in the bedand started
for assistance. She was obliged to go over a
mile before she was able to obtain any
When she returned with several neighbors
the pedler had gone. He had recovered
consciousness and fled, leaving his pack
in the house. When the news of the at
tempted outrage and the tragic death of
MI. Tolin spread throughout the neighbor-
hood, the most intense excitement prevail
ed. Squads OF men started in every direc-
ton, searching for the pedler; but as yet
he has not been found. In the present feel
ing, if he falls into the hands of the popu-
lace, that he will be lynched there is not
the slightest doubt
