"War Democrat" He voted for the ab,li-
tinn Of slavery in thcDiStrict Of Columbia.
He steadily supported every measure that
looked to the suppression OF the rebellion
and the restoration OF the Union. He
gave literally from his private means to
the outfit Of regiments from his native
state He was an industrious committee
man, faithful congressman, was always
IN his seat during session aid always at
tentive to business. With his war
views his strict regard for the constitution
and his general conservatism commended
him TO the regard of men of both parties.

Divorce suits.

In the First Chancery Court to-day a
bill for divorce was filed by Mary White
(negro) against Charles White, on the
ground Of abandonment.
A bill for divorce was also fled in the
same court by C H. Pickering against
Maggie E Rains, alleging that they in
termsrried in this county in February,
1875; that in May, 1875, he left the de-
PENDANT, it having come to his knowl-
edge hat she had a husband living
John T. Rains), from whom she had
never been divorced. The petition
alleges that said Maggie E Rains inter
married with said John T. Rains in
March, 1873, at J%acksonport, Arkansas,
and hat said Rains is now living at
Martbasville, Louisiana; but petitioner
believes that when he (petitioner) inter
married with said Maggie E. Rains she
believed that her former husband was
dead, and did not know to the contrary
until a month since.

pointee to the Office be may make. In
the meantime, however, the attorney
pro TEN. would hold over. But this sup.
posed plan was rather defeated by the
action Of the General Council yesterday
in accepting City Attorney Hanson's
resignation when his successor shall have
been duly elected and qualified. This
seeming disagreement, however, can be
easily remedied, provided the Mayor will
appoint Judge Walker to the position, or
some other ieading attorney in harmony
with the new charter and one who has
the confidence Of the public.
It's charged, and the public would like
to know il The charge is correct, that
School Visitor Townsend stated that the
way the school teachers we're elected was
in the following manner: The committee
on selecting teachers was composed Of
School Visitors II. Townsend, W. W.
Mitchell, N. W. Spears, w. C. Folkes.
The charge is that the committee, not
knowing much about the teachers, left
the selections to Miss Clara Conway,
principal of the First district grammar
grade, and Miss A. G. Reudelhuber, prin.
cipal Of the Second district grammar
grade, to make out the list of the teach.
ers for their respective districts, and that
this list was submitted to the sick man,
Superintendent Picket, then adopted by
the committee, and then voted for unau-
imously by the Board. The suffering
public would also like to know il School
Visitor FARMLAND did not assert that no
teacher would be selected who had dis
played any opposition to Superintendent
Picket's style Of dcing business. Don't
all answer at once.

Indiaa fight on the Texas border:
Another Indian, who had been con
spicuous during the fight, now fell badly
wounded. One Of the Rangers raised
his gun to finish the work, when, barring
her breast, she disclosed the fact that she
was a squaw. The Ranger lowered his
gun, and was in the act of receiving her
surrender, when a bullet from another
part of the field relieved him Of the disa,
greeable necessity, and she lay a corpse
at his feet"
The Troy Times tells the story Of Maud
Oswald, one of the chariot drivers Of
Barnum's show. She was a clerk in Il
fancy goods store in that city. One day
she said she was tired of standing twelve
hours a day behind a counter, and that
night she started for New York, where
she applied at the Hippodrome for
ployment. Her good looks favored her
application, and although she had never
driven a horse she o learned to be
expert. Now she rides a ~barebaeked
horse with skill and fearlessness, gets
S75 a week, and dutifully supports her
mother.
The Presbytery Of H%olston, Tennessee.
have hit upon a plan of obviating the
usual summer vacations of elergymeD.
which will be heartily Endorsed by the
laity. The plan is to send its clergy
and as many Of the laity as can join
them upon a horseback excursion
through the mountains of North Carroll
ma. The clergy are to go two and two
upon their mission, and TO hold services
wherever there is a prospect Of a congrc-
cation, and they are to carry two days
provisions with them to be safe against
hunger; and at a certain time the whele
expedition is to meet upon a specified
mountain to enjoy good fellowship, and
to have a season of religious refreshing,
This is but a variety Of the old fashioned
camp meeting, and the gospel on horse
back is considered an antidote to ennui
and dyspepsia.

Circus ON The Rinn

General Sell Howeli's great American
circus will give its initial performance
on the bluff. Their performances else
where are mentioned in the highest
terms of praise, and we have no hesi-
fancy in recommending this exhibition
to the public. The company comprises
frst-class talent. They do not make a
large street display without regard to the
satisfaction Of their patrons, but place
in the ring a performance which bears
no competition. The bareback riding
the acrobatic feats of twenty persons,
challenges comparison; the riding of the
trick dog Remember" the sagacity of
the three trained ponies, the jests of the
clowns, all serve to give satisfaction to
the audience. There will be both an
afternoon aud night performance.

We have had occasion before to illus
trate the inconsistency OF the Virginia
Enterprise, and do so again. though We
can't understand how that really live
newspaper can suffer from such political
cross.eyed-ness. In its issue of the 9th
instant it states in one column, as a sort
OF moral aphorism. that the independent
voter is the fraud OF the nineteeth GEN.
fury, and in the next endorses the advice
OF the Sacramento Bee, that the Califor-
mia Independents and Republicans
should unite and form a compromise.
Without questioning the rather startling
assertion relative to the independent vot-
ers' genuineness, or the wisdom Of the
suggestion to mako political patch
quilt. we simply call attention to the
moral obliquity of vision that the Enter
prise is afflicted with. It is clear case
of mental strabismus, but we are inclined
to think it is with the Enterprise, as with
the cross-eyed man in Missouri, who ex.
cused all mistakes by remarking. 1T
wasn't his fault. it was his ignorance. ;

In an article headed "How TO Save the
Republican Party" the New York Her
aid gives said party some very good adj
vice. Among other things, 1t tells them
that it Is Ut in their power. BY judicious
action. to win the approaching contest.
The Herald Is OF the opinion that II lead
log Republicans from all parts OF the
country. North and South. would unite
and sign a pledge on behalf of the Re-
publican party, promising to repeal at
the earliest moment the enforcement
acts, and put 9 stop to all Federal inter-
vention 10 local affairs in the Southern
States, they will have removed the only
obstacle 70 success in 1876. As we say,
the advice Is good. but 1t is impossible
for the Republican party to adopt it or
profit by it. II is now something over
six years since that party seated Grant
in the Preside chair. IL was then
flushed with victory aud possessed OF
prestige that is rarely attached 20 any
political party. To-day but few OF the
principles that animated the party con-
tinue to vivify its frame. Its record on
the currency question is the only re-
deeming feature in its present disorgan-
lied condition. The party has steadily
been losing prestige and influence, and
its impotent management OF The great
work of reconstruction in the South Is
alone sufficient TO defeat it. Blinded
with success the party has implicitly fol-
lowed Grants policy Of at once repress-
ing and irritating the South, and at
tempting to hoodwink the North, and
the restiN is that neither section reposes
the slightest confidence in the party or
any promises it may make. This is why
the Republicans cannot follow the Her
AIDS good advice. The thing has gone
too far; they might have unloaded some
two years ago, but they can't drop any
thing now. The dictatorial attitude and
unwarranted interference OF Grant has
alarmed many as to the probable conse-
quences Of perpetuating such policy,
and the Republicans having unwittingly
allowed his conduct to be taken as an ex-
ponent of party desires and intentions,
are now obliged to put up with the odium
and apprehension it calls forth. They
can't dodge the responsibility OF his mis-
take and the dishonesty of his political
record. There was q time when the Re-
publican party contained great deal OF
honesty and well-meaning patriotism.
but, looking at the present status OF the
organization, it seems a very remote
epoch. The political events OF the next
eighteen months will show that the Con-
stitution cannot be entirely ignored by q
set OF political nincompoops and horde
OF parasitical bummers without an offset
Of retributive justice.
