DEATH OF DR.. VIM. nj. ABELL.-It is

DEATH OF DR.. WIN. nj. ABELL.-Iti is
not alone within the narrow domain OF
the home circle, though the aching
there be keener. that the void left by
the death Of DR.. Abel is felt. II is
felt wherever he was we'll known,
throughout an extended practice, in a
wide neighborhood circle and in nu.
merous intimacies outlying both these
limits. In all was he recognized as a
man Of note. Though somewhat alb
rupt Of manner and impatient of tenn
per, his kindness of heart and innate
nobility Of characternevera allowed these
to wound without prompt and full
atonement. And better still, he was of
frank and earnest nature, outspoken
against shams, exact and conscientious
in his life work and ever loyal to truth,
whether truth was uppermost or not
Atthe bedside Of suffering, Re was
known as skillful physician, in the So
cial circle as companionable gentle
man, in all the duties of public life as
a patriotic citizen. He is gone to his
account and il now but remains for US
to express heartfelt sympathy for the
widowed and the fatherless and a hope
that the dead rests in peace.

AHMED AT ALL PoiNrs.-Whether
robbed BY Freedman's Banks or howev.
erplundered or whatever hi. political or
personal preference, the Southern Re-
turning Boards assume that the colored
voter is the absolute property of the
Republican party and Sherman is al
ways on hand in the Senate 10 prove il
against all corners, including the negro
himself. And il amounts to nothing
that the unhappy darkey attempts to
gainsay this claim. If he says he voted
the democratic ticket, Sherman protests
that he was intimidated. If he declares
he didn't vote at all from sickness or
family causes or want of inclination, il
is the same thing. If he makes oath
to either Of these statements, Sherman
IS ready to establish that he has been
guilty OF perjury and has been intimida-
ted to make the a6idarit! So, the allies
OF the colored voter are armed at all
points and what between Sherman and
the Returning Boards, he is left with
about as much freedom of choice as is
usually allowed to an apple or an oys-
ter.

The CNioN.-Th,s is the title of a
new democratic morning paper which
has been recently started at the Nation
al Capital under the editorial direction
of Hon. Montgomery Blair. II has been
surprise to us that publication Of this
kind has not been commenced long be-
fore. That great party like the dem
ocratie should have remained for wears
without responsible and authoritative
organ at the seat of government is tru-
ly matter for establishment. Be this as
it may, the neglect or oversight ha. at
last been supplied. Already the Union
fills up the measure Of democratic ex.
Pectation and it is fair to presume that
it will increase in strength and eiiicien-
CIV the older il gets. As it is, Il is one
Of the ablest and most interesting pa.
pers with which we exchange. See

"THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA.
Under this caption. the New York Post,
Republican in politics and an earnest
supporter of Hayes, speaking Of the
sending Of Federal troops to Petersburg,
Va, on the eve Of the late election,
says:-
The President has sent to the Senate
a message relating to the late campaign
in Virginia. We mean the military
campaign, not the political campaign:
or, perhaps, II would be better to de-
scribe il as the military political cam
paign, since the movements Of troops to
Petersburg appears to have been de-
termined by events connected with the
canvass, or with events which it was
suspected would be connected with the
canvass. Hitherto the President has
sustained campaigns Of this kind BY re-
ference to . constitutional Proyisie .,

when they have last Il. Peace j. .

ernment is . greater. At least the men
Of our revolut5sa thessht so. IL they
had thought differently. they would
have knuckled down TO George III and
adjourned over to their ehildreR the in
evitable fight between legal privilege
and lawless prerogative. IG this had
been done, We should have had, instead
of a seven years contest. very likely =
war Of much longer duration and GER
tainly one Of greater magnitude than
We had. By meeting encroachments
promptly, our fathers did not, indeed,
avoid war, but they took their adverse
ry at disadvantage and above al they
started their Eevolstios before their
spirit had been lowered by contact with
the seductive devices efservitude. Web
ster says the revelation was fought on a
preamble and. looking merely at the sur
face. itappears as 1t ras undertaken for
atrine. Certain il is. the attempt to tax
tea and glass was not . greater viola
ton Of law nor more hostile to freedom
than the late employment Of soldiers BY
Grant. Indeed, no fair.minded man
can read the Declaration of Indepen.
dence without reaching the conclusion
that it our fathers were right in resist
ing George, their descendants are not
far out Of the way in calling Grant to
account for what he has already done
and in organizing to check any further
attempts Of bis at usurpation by the
strong arm. The bond-holders, demo-
cratic and republican, are crying out
for peace at any price and their news
paper organs in the great money centers
are piping to the same key. Peace at
at any price! What would Carroll, Of
Carrolton, have thought of a cry so mer.
c'nary and unmanly in the presence Of
a peril such as now menaces the coun-
try? But the great mass of the people
are also for peace, with this difference,
they are for peace and law, not peace
and usurpation. The peace the despot
would give US is peace rithout law,
uncertain in tenure and Mexican in re.
suit. The country will have none of it.
1t lansuishes, indeed. for peace and
peaeeable ways. but it also insists, and
1t is now empha.izing its determination
with terrible plainness, that our present
constitutional form of Government shall
be maintained at any cost and at all
hazards.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN THE WEsr.-
The people Of the West are not invest
ing heavily in the 'peace at any price
policy" In one section, they say. "we
must have our rights, praceably If we
can, forcibly if We must" In another,
they announce themselves as determ-
ined not to allow '.Tilden to be counted
out by fraud. Submission now means
submission for all time to come" In
another, they declare themselves ''ready
to meet the emergency" A conven-
ton is to be held in Indiana on the Sth
Of January, proximo, "for the purpose
Of giving expression to the popular de-
mand that the legally chosen President
shall not be opposed or resisted in the
assumption and exercise Of the duties
of his Office" There are either not a
great many bonds held in the West or
the people there love the free institu-
tons of their country better than they
do money.

DWELLING BURNED.-rhela large DWELL
ing, among the oldest in the county, on
the estate known as White Plains in
the Factory district was destroyed BY
fire on Saturday evening last. The
fire was caused by sparks from a Chin
ney igniting the roof. The property
was owned by Jas. R. Langley and was
in the occupancy Of Alexander Milburn
who lost nearly the whole of his furni-
ture. Though fully twelve miles dis
tant from this place, the light Of the
burning building was very preceptible
in our streets. There was no insur-
ance, We learn, on the property.
