The Lee NIausOIeum

The 10Th day of this month-Gen-
eral Lees birthday-is near at hand !;
and the ladies who compose the Lee
Mausoleum Society are naturally be-
coming the more anxious as to the esuc-
cess which may attend their efforts on
that day, in the solicitation of dona-
tions to the fund.
As it has been heretofore announced
they will call, in person, upon all the
ladies of the city that they can reach
on that day, for the purpose of receiv-
ing these donations. -.-
These ladies who may not be reached
should not feel that they were omitted
-th number of those who
wish to give, being far too
large to be waited upon by
the limited number of ladies who
are devoting themselves to this almost
pious cause-but should SEND IN their
contributions It is. certainly privi-
1ege to have this opportunity of con-
tributing to the creation of lasting
monument to the memory of Lee. It,
indeed, naeds no monumental stone or
enduring brass to perpetuate his
name, or to make a record of his vir-
tues. Genera. Lee accomplished these
for himself, in a lifetime of noble
deeds that made him loved whilst 1iv-
ing and revered now dead-and made
himself immortal.
Those who are now attempting to
pay this grateful and loving, though
lnadequate, tribute to his memory-do
honor to themselves more than to
Lee.

MIR. 5sIafne,s Sneecn.

The scene in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday gives fair meas :
ure of its temper on the Southern
question, and the defeat of Mr.. Ran
dall's ANN sty bill on strict party
vote shows the extreme limits of the
democratic majority. Mr. Blaine's
peech, as forensic effort, will prob
abby earn different opinion from that
which will be bestwoed on it as par
tisan uttcrance. The parliamentary
strategy by which he took the floor on
the democratic bill is proof Of his
superior shrewduess, but the argument
be used to Justify the exception of
Jefferson Davis from the republican
Amnesty bill was as weak as the pic
tuse he painted was strong. If he
wanted to create IN fact thai figment
of fiction, which made the blood of
sentimental old maids curdIe under
the title of "A Man Without Coun-
try" we might see IN his bill touch
of highly poetic;tl Justice, as it made
the President of the Confederacy
tue sole denationalized being left
on the shores Of time by the rebel
lion. But such is not the
case. It is as the man responsible for
the horrors of Auder opviile that Jef
ferson Davis is to be excepted from
he Republican amnesty. This haN
the flavor of the demagogue pervading
it. What the desolated fields and
homes of the South had not paid Of
the debt to humanity at Andersonvilie
was cancelled under the apple tree at
Appomatto1 Court Hcuse when the
sword OF Lee w S accepted by General
Graut. 1t is too late now to revenge
acts done in the war, 10 matter how
lnhuman, upon any one individual,
and hence the speech o. Mr. Blaine
reads to the unbiased like a flaming
appeal to the bitter passions which
moved men when Americans were di-
vided into ':rebs" and yankees"
This question demands other treat
ment. II the Republican policy is to
SOW dragons teeth instead Of the
golIen grain of cancellation they may
be prepared to reap accordingly. Ne
shall look keenly to the continuance of
the debate on the Republican side to
see how far Mr. Blaine represents it.

the Subject.
Information has been received at the
Signal Office, concerning outrages per-
petrated on the telegraph hne to
Smithville. Some maliciously dispos-
ed sportsmen, while hunting on Eagles
Island, shot off the glass insulators to
which the wire is fastened, thereby
telling the wire to the ground, and in
terrupting the transmission OF messa-
ges. Suspicion rests on certain par
ties lately seen cunning in the marshes
and speedy justice will be dealt to
them. For the benefit of these ma
rauders, we publish the following ex-
tract from .'act of Congress, approved
June 23rd. 1874"
"Any person or persons, who shall
wilfulIy or malieiously injure or des-
troy any of the works or material Of
any telegraph line, owned or controlled
oa9le United States, or who shall in
any .ay, wilfully or maliciously OBJ
struc., hinder, or delay any com1nuni-
cation over said line, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and on con-
viction thereof, shall be punished by
fine of not less than hundred or more
than thousand dollars, or imprison
ment for a term of three years, or both
at the discretion of the Court.
Information for the apprehension of
guilty parties is earnestly solicited by
the Signal Bureau, and any given will
be thankfully received and appreciated.

duces green or yellowish scabs, the

caused by neglected colds, by sup

contagious diseases, and is itself con-
tageous. 1t often extends to the throat,
producing hOarsness, bronchitis and
consumption. It is tertiary form OF
cancer, destroying the nose and throat

Jones is the only physician in the

the sufferer in every way at once, and
cures the disease to the lungs more
