JOHN l. SADWALDEk.

WASHINGTON, August 2I, 1876:
Secretary Morrill, was in his office to
day in consultation with representatives
of prominent banking firms regarding
the new loan.
WASHINGTON, August 22.-The re-
mains of the late Speaker Kerr arrived
here this morning from Rockbridge Alum
Springs, at 6;I5 accompanied by Mrs.
Kerr and her son, Representatives Mil
ton Sayler, S S. Cox and H. Casey
Young, and Mr.. Adams, Clerk of the
House. The body is encased in a cas-

plated mouldings fits over the glass. The
interior is lined with silk and satin.

THE BAYONET IN THE ELECTION.

Grant has seized the first moment af-
ter the adjournment Of Congress toshow
his hand and the people of the country
can see that it grasps bayonet, the
point of which is turned toward the
Southern States.
1t is feeling not of alarm, but of in
dignation, that will be raised throughout
the land by the military order that was
yesterday issued from the War Depart
ment to Gen. Sherman. 1t directs the
General of the army to hold all the avail
able military force in readiness to be
used for the support of the Fifteenth
Constitutional Amendment, and for the
punishment of those who may attempt
to interfere with the rights therein guar
anteed. 1t directs him to have the mill
tary force so distributed as 10 be able to
act with promptitude; and it informs
him that he will receive other instruc-
tions from time to time concerning this
business.
The order means that ten or twelve
thousand troops of the regular army are
to be concentrated in the Southern States
in those Of them which have been, or,
without this order, would surely be
wrested from Grantism in November
next They will doubtless be stationed
mainly in Mississippi, Louisiana, Ala
bama and South Carolina; and it is not
improbable that, before the election, the
Southern Department will be put in
charge of Gen. Sherman, who has had
some experience in the kind of work be
will be called upon to perform.
1t was very cunning in Don Cameron,
Secretary of War, to resort to the pretext
of basing this order on the resolution of
Mr.. Scott Lord, which was passed by the
House of Representatives on the 10th
inst, and received the vote of nearly all
the Democratic members. He has de.
layed its issue till one week after the
passage of that resolution, and has kept
it back till one day after the adjourn
ment of Congress. Why did he not issue
it after receiving the resolution, or while
yet Congress was in session? The trick
is worthy of Grant himself.
AS far back as the I'd of this month we
warned Congress that it would be unsafe
to adjourn, leaving free opportunity for
the exercise of unrestricted power in the
hands of such President as Grant. Our
warning is already more than justified
Grant and the Senate have lately been
very anxious for the enlargement Of the
army, and it is now evident, as it has
been all along, what object they had in
view in this policy.
The House was weak enough, on the
last day of the session, to-wit 4: on Tues
day OF this week, to assent to the Senate's
demand for an increase Of $500 men in
the cavalry arm of the service. The pre-
tence was that this additional force was
needed for the Sioux war. 1t was not
needed for that war, but for use in the

THE Democracy in convention at Co.
lumbia, S. c., last week nominated Gen.
Wade Hampton for Governor. He was
a rebel soldier as everybody knows, but
has been discreet and loyal, and meddled
little with politics since he laid down his
sword. Gen. Hampton is man of con-
ceded ability, and was never charged
with being dishonest The Republicans
in one or more Southern States are sup
porting ex-rebel soldiers for the same
kind of position Gen. Hampton aspires
to, and the Democracy are going elect an
ex-Federal soldier Governor of Missouri.
The war has been over nearly dozen
years, everybody but Sitting Bulls crowd
is tired of fighting, and there is hardly
any danger that Wade Hampton's cleo
ton for Governor of South Carolina
would precipitate new rebellion.

ONE of the last things done by the Sen
ate was the confirmation Of Clapp as
Government Printer. The House man
aged to get this man legislated out OF Of
flee short time ago, after an investiga-
ton in which his incapacity and corrup-
ton was shown up in glaring colors.
Grant then undertook to "vindicate" him
by nominating him to the same office, the
name of which had been changed in the
mean time, and the Senate confirmed
him without any examination Of the evil
dence on which the action of the House
was based. Ineficiency and dishonesty
are at nemium in the Administration
of Grant.

The Democratic heart of Connecticut
has been delighted by the coming out"
of Colonel Augustus H. Fem for Tilden.
Col. Fem lost an arm in the war, and
was the Republican candidate for Secre-
tary of State in 1875. The Hartford
Times seems to be entirely upset by the
accession, for it shouts: Gust wait and
hear what gun Connecticut will fire on
the 9TH of November 1t will wake the
echoes from Maine to the Louisiana
canebrakes, though ours is small State. "

REPUBLICAN newspapers may assail the
Democratic House as much as they please
they cannot get over the fact, though
opposed at every step by the Republi-

Republican Senate, they have yet saved
about thirty millions in the appropria-
tions. This is something on which they
can proudly 60 before the country.
