Notes and Opinions

Grant announces that he will reside in
Washington. 1t Goes not seem a matter
worrying anybody as to where he will re-
side.
1t is such men as Mosby and Longstreet
that have originated the idea Of bloody
shirt stories. They are barnacles upon the
party and its spies in the South.
If the government would take the troops
and put them to watching the heads of he
departments, they would be of more ser
vice than intimidating Southern voters and
playing hide and seek with the Indian.
The cry that Tilden was no friend to the
soldiers during the war does not seem to
have had much effect when such veterans
as General Hooker, Siegel, Hancock aud
Mcclellan are fighting their hardest for
him.
A dog show has attracted considerable
attention at the Centennial. A show OF
liars is now in order with the New York
" Times" man on the front bench.
If libel suits are pleasant, the Philadel.
phia "Times" is rolling in luxury. 1t has

The Calumnies on Mr.. Tilden.
From the Saturday Review.l

In one respect Englishmen may perhaps.
without undue presumption, claim to be in
advance Of Americans. 1t is not the Gus
tom IN this country to viiify the private
character of political opponents. The chief
Republican paper of New York has, since
the nomination of Mr.. Tilden as the Demo-
cratic candidate, devoted its efforts mainly
to allegations that he is not political de-
linauent, but perjurer, swindler, and
so-called railway wrecker.' 1t may be
conjectured that neither friends nor enemies
believe accusations which are simply incred-
ible: but the repetition of the grossest
charges seems to produce neither surprise
nor Indignation. Mr.. Tilden's supposed
crimes are placed by his assailants on the
same level with denunciations of his aristo-
cratic propensities of his pretended want Of
hospitality. 1t seems that instead of con-
tenting himself with the official residence OF
the Governor at Albany, Mr. Tilden has the
presumption to rent an expensive house
simple entertainments. DeQuincey urged
as an objection to the practice of murder
that it might ultimately lead to the vices of
Sabbath breaking and procrastination. Mr.
Tilden is not only periurer and cheat,
but parsimonious householder.
At the last general election in England,
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Dsraeli were rival
candidates for an Office of equal importance
with the American Presidency. 1t never oc
CURED to the opponent of either party
leader TO charge him with vulgar felony OF

become apparent to the most obtuse o.
American journalists that the chosen can
| didate of one half of the nation in some de-
gree represents the character and dignity o.
the republic. Mr.. Tilden is supported by
millions Of partisans, including a certain
number Of well-known and respectable
public men. The proof that be was noto.

world that infamy was no impediment tc

Six Soldiers Condemned to Death

The First Court-martial of Orap (Alge-
ris) has just tried six soldiers of the For
eign Legion for mutiny and violence TO their
superior officers. Their names are Roethel,
Faglin, Creutz,, Deusschler. Sender, and
Richter. The first named is Corporal, and
on the 9th Of June was in charge Of the post
guarding the prison of Bel-Abbes, having
the others under his orders. He allowed
them to introduce drink, and very soon they
were all intoxicated. The Governor of the
establishment, seeing the state of things,
sent to inform their commander, and Lieut..
Morelli, Adjutant of the regiment, was sent
to examine into the facts. On his arrival,
Faglin attacked him with his bayonet, and
the others also seized and beat him and put
him into cell. After some time, beginning
to feel alarmed, they marched their officer
of as prisoner to headquarters, intending
to make come charges against him, but on
their arrival there the true state Of the case
was at once seen, and they were arrested.
The court found them guilty, and they were

the SPOT almost as soon a. General Newton
The building containing the office OF super
intendent Boyle, which stood formerly upon
the very edge of the shaft, had been thrown
back from its position In shore about ten
feet, and partially overturned. The steps
that led down into the shaft, had been
thrown up on the bank, against the oftice,
showing with what power the water had
rushed upward. The condition of the ground
and the buildings showed the manner In
which the water had fallen over them In
its fountain like aspect. The bomb-proof

planks and pieces of timber thrown about;
otherwise there was but little damage.
Windows in the boiler and engine honses,
facing the mine, and only about fifty feet
distant, were not broken. The people who
moved out of the neighboring houses might
have renamed as they were not injured.
After the explosion Mrs. Newton inspected
the wreck of Hallett's reef, or rather as
much Of it as could be seen above water,
from the Star, bringing forward the little
girl who had given the final touch which
proved her fathers work successful, that
she might see what destruction had been
caused. No sooner had the sound OF the
blast died away than the crowd broke
through all restraint, and covered the Gov
ernment grounds. When they saw the
great number of wires-wh!ch were left ex-
posed by the blowing away of the top OF
the trough in which they had been carried
down into the mine-they began to struggle
and even fight TO get pieces Of them. Mr..
Stredinger told them they could have all
they desired, and for long time afterward
they were still striving to Guido one another
in getting pieces.

PACK THE CARPET BAG.

There is ,one man in the South who
might as well be packing up his carpet
bag. At the same time it would not be a
bad idea for him 10 have his bloody shirt
washed, for like old Grimes long gray
coat, it will DO him no more good. This
man is Gov. Chamberlain, Of South Caro-
lima. He went TO that much pillaged
State, and extended the hand Of fellowship
and honesty-and but little was seen then
of the stain which marked it-he was
chosen as the preference of Moses, who had
stolen millions from the State government.
He has BETRAYED every trust that was plac-
ed in him, and is row contributing food to

A CAMPAIGN cry Of the Republicans
is the one that Tilden was no friend of the
soldiers during the war. The following
letter TO him soon after his nomination for

soldierv. I caunot refrain from offering
you my sincere congratulations on your

Quiet observer of the political events OF

The speeches Of H. c. Conrad, are the
very best campaign documents that the
Democratic party of this State could get
hold Of. He proclaims Mr.. james W.
Ware untitled for the position of Repre-
sentative, because he is stairbuilder. In
this assertion he insults the thousands Of
workingmen of this State, who everywhere
are classed as the bone and sinew Of the
land. Does Mr.. Conrad forget that there
ia no excellence without labor, and tha,
labor is the source of all knowledge and
wealth. But there are allowances to be
made for Mr.. Conrad; he is young and has
great deal to learn. The workingnen
of this State should not forget when they
cast their votes in the approaching election,
that the Republican party of Delaware is
one that thinks the workingman incapable
of advancement, and that they should al
ways be kept just where they are. Mr..
Ware is the founder Of his fortune, and has
gained his money honestly, which is far
greater recommendation 10 political re-
ward, than ifhe had gained it as thousands
Of others who are in politics and out, have
