Mr.. S. Teackle Wallis seems to be the
chronic orator on all occasions when the
good people of Baltimore engage in con-
genial public demonstrations. He is as
much at home on one theme as another,
and never fails to meet the liveliest expec.
tations of his admirers. On Saturday of
last week he addressed the Robert E. Lee
Memorial Association at the Academy of
Music in that city. The audience, as
might be expected in Baltimore, was large,
and the money realized-to be used in pur-
chasing Valentines memorial statue of the
great Southern leader-amounted to 81, 900.
In the course Of his remarks, Mr.. Wallis
said
''There is something marvellous, If not in
conceivable, in the belief which some people,
otherwise sane, profess to entertain that o
man is, mentally or morally, better or worse
for his sincere political opinions-better or
worse because he is monarchist instead of a
repUblican-because he faVors State rights or
thinks them sinful; that It was Profligacy to
believe secession constitutional or in any way
defensible, and Virtuous to believe the con-
trary: that to be loyal was to pass into the
communion of saints, and to be EdisloyaP was
to forfeit in the act the prestige of the loftiest
and purest hfe."
Every word of this may be true. There
is nothing marvellous in the existence of
sincere differences regarding political ques-
tons, and we have yet to hear that any
respectable '1oyar' authority has denied
to such men as Gen. Lee the possession of
honest convictions that secession was a
constitutional right. The trouble is, how

DANA's COwARDICE attracts general at
tention. The Philadelphia Bulletin COM
pares him to Dick Swiveller, who "was
compelled to walk ten miles around to
I" get across the street, " and adds:
1.-THE New York newspapers are trying to
make it appear that Dana, of the Sun, is
victim of horrible conspiracy on the part of
certain Government officials in Washington,
because an effort has been made to arraign
him before a court in that city for defamation
and libel. But Dana does not excel in the
character of martyr. For years he has been
accusing certain public men in Washington Of
all sorts of crimes and now if there is any legal
method by which he can be compelled either
to prove his charges or to suffer punishment
for lying, we should like to have it applied.
He is afraid to go to Washington, because he
is aware that he has no case at all upon which
to rest a demand for acquittal. He dare not
visit the Capital, he is a fugitive from justice
in this city, and if he continues his business of
defamation much longer, he will not be able to
stir out of New York for fear of arrest"

INTHE EIGHT YEARS following the close

THE EIGHT YEARS following the close
of the war, the value of personal property
increased in Virginia sixty-fVe per cent,
and IS now only sixteen per cent less than
when slavery was in Its prime. This asser-
ton is based upon statistics furnished by
the New York Journal Of Commerce, IN.
prejudiced authority it will be admitted.
The figures show that in 1860 the valuation
of personal property in Virginia was S101,
635, 721; in 1866 it was only $50, 253, 300
but in 1873 it had risen to $85, 112, 800. The
gloomy complaints of discontinued citizens
Of that State are therefore without solid
basis. The truth is, that property and values
have changed hands, and that those who
were formerly monopolists have, in the Or
binary course of affairs occasioned by the
effect of the war, lost large amounts, while
those who were formerly penniless, includ
ing the freed slaves, are now enjoying many
benefit of which they were deprived until
the changes occurred by which this genera
redistribution was forced.

THE Wilmington IN. c. Post, referring
TO the unrepentant rebels of the South,
says:
''These men are now preparing to bring
about another war, and as soon as they become
organized, we tell the people of the North
that they will hear the booming of cannon at
their doors. Wade Hampton will do fer the
North that which Sherman did for the South
There is no Southern State but what has at
least 10000 men each, who are already armed,
and who would be ready at a moments notica
TO march on Chicago or New York"
The Post may be little premature in
this prediction; but that the rebels would
like 10 do all and more than it promises for
them, we have no doubt

owe RECOGNIZE the fact that the coun-
" try must be governed by parties, but we
" decline to admit that either party has a
monopoly of intelligence and virtue. /"
This is the platform of the New York
Graphic. Now let that journal explain its
belief regarding the principles which are
supposed by innocent people to underlie
political organizations. Would it support
two candidates for the same Office, each of
whom possessed ar equal amount of intel
ligence and virtue? Would not the ques-
ton of principle have something to do in
deciding its preference?

AGAIN the school children have the ad-
vantage of their seniors. The skirmishes
at Concord and Lexington, now dignifed
as the first battles of the Revolutionary
War, occurred one hundred years ago, and
these youngsters know more about them
than their fathers and grandfathers, who
have not read history for many years, while
their children enjoy fresh memories of re-
cent study. What with its success in SPELL
ing matches and modern history, Young
America will soon become conceited, and

To the Editor Orthe National Republican:
SIR: The anniversary Of the final triumph Of
the national arms at Appomattox was observed
with commendable zeal and patriotism by our
colored citizens Of this place. They hold In CRATE
full remembrance that memorable event which
struck from them the shackles Of slavery and
clothed them with manhood and freedom. They
were we'll dressed, and, wearing appropriate
badges and devices, marched In procession through
the PRINCIPAL streets Of our town, preceded by
band of music. Captain Harris, In charge OF the
procession, conducted its movements with great
propriety and decorum. Every thing passed of
with the utmost harmony and good feeling, fur
pishing additional evidence Of the rapid advance
which our celored citizens are making in general
intelligence and the ceeencies and proPrieties OF
life.
