@The Republican party having de

VI afflirs iu the South, and having ever
since drawn is subsistence chiefly from
the same source, is 10Th tl,lopk else
where for the means of support
Tie supply from that quarter for some
years was rich and abundant. The
leaders could rerel in fat jpb>, subsidies
and plnnder generally, while every ef
fort to bring them to jnstice was h6wleJ
down as reasonable attempt to ruiz
The party which had saved the country
This worked very vel until the pillaged
tsx-payers began to discover that there
was something else besides treason
which would bear looking after
To silence the discomfort growing ou:
of this discovery, the "ouLra se' factories
were started to grinding, and for a time
the Northern heart was so fired that il
refused to be affected by such mercenary
considerations as dollars and cents
This device did we'll ror time; hu
when it became known that the helples:
Negroes so barbarou.ly laughtered JUS
before the election, were all ''fat, ragged
and sassy" just after the election, the
Northern heart refused to be fred by
this process. ,Q
notwithstanding the disastrous failure
Of the. ''outrage" business, they still looE
TO the South for capital with which to
run the campaigns Of rs and 6 The
programme as foreshadowed seems te
be, to combine the mercenary and the
patriotic feelings Of the voters against
the Democratic party by charging with
yell that the Democrats, if successful
will pay all losses to the South occa
stoned by the war. SO r.
| This ground is now being reconnoi
tered by skirmishers, who are travelling
or write as though they were, through
the South, and furnishing the results o
interviews in which the Soulherners ar.
made to say that they confidently expec
the amplest reimbursement for all DANA
ges by the war as soon as the Democrat,
gain power.
Should these "ieelers" which are nov
advanced, find satisfactory response il
lpublic sentiment, we may, by the mex
election, expect statements from ever,
Southern roads, endorsed as usua
by the Attorney General, affirming tina
the Northern Democrats are to a mai
pledged to pay the South fabulous sum
for engaging in the war.
But il the scheme fail, as it probably
will, there will not be much lost, and i
will only be necessary for few of th
managers to put their heads together, ,ant
devise some other plan of campaign.

CORE. .pondent writes: "rhe selection OF
the Msr:ini. Henry rifle as the new service
weape of the army has been subject OF
newsl aper and scientific disputes for sew
eraf years past. Every body admitted its
superior shooting power, butt its violent
recoil was considered by many critics to
exclude it from all consideration as a
practical weapon. We know. however,
that the authorities at the War Office
both under the last and the present ad-
ministration-have adhered TO the selec
ton Of this rifle, and several large issues
have recently been made to some of the
principal regiments, including the
Guards. The Sixtieth Rifles have also
been served with the Martini Henry and
the officers of that regiment determined
to test the weapon in all its phases. One
of the means adopted was to organize a
match among some twenty of the best re
puted shots in the regiment. each man to
fire one hundred rounds. When the
match came off the shooting was excel
lent, but then followed the crucial test =
The competitors underwent a medical in
spection by the doctor of the regiment,
and lie pronounced that the recoil of the
weapon had been 80 terrible that not a
single man who had taken part in the
competition would be fit for shooting the
next day. Areport of the proceedings
haaa been sent to headquarters, and the
matter is much talked OF IN military cir
cles. This matter is deemed to have
taught us serious lesson, for if the recoiI
is 30 bad that after hundred rounds the
soldier is unfit for shooting for the next
"a or 36 hours, we may rest assured that
the precision of the rife will be DESTROY
ed in action by the soldiers desire to
avoid the punishment of such weapon.

confirmed by other regiments, see no
remedy but withdrawal of the weapon
until the recoil has been lessened
