CONFEDERATE vs.. THE STARS AND STRIPES.
The Rennhlican (Savannah ca Aaaua.

The Republican, Savannah, Ga, } says:
But strange to say, though celebrating
Washington's birthday, they did not carry
Washington's flag. Under the protecting
folds of the stars and stripes, the beautiful en-
blem of our nationality, Washington led the
provinces to an Independent existence as the
United States. He loved the flag he fought
for, and those who celebrate his day while ies-
psing MS colors cast contempt upon his men,
0ry.
The occurrences of February 22d last-and
many similar ones-prove how entirely false
were the words of the Hon. Benjamin Hill
when he declared at Atlanta January 20, 1875.
Bot let one thing be distinctly understood
that, ii another war should come we of the
south will rally under the old flag of our faith
ers. 1t always was our flag. We were never
faithiess to it. and our enemies were never
But another flag was displayed there, one
which most nearly fills the desert ption given by
Mr.. Hlll a flag which supposed to have gone
down forever, when, in May 1865, General Jos
eph f. Johnston folded it before General Sher-
man. In the procession of Tuesday last the
lett guide, first platoon, COMPANY b. Savan-
nah volunteer guards, carried a silk Confederate
nag pinned TO his breast, which, ever and anon,
he would straighten for the benefit of passers
by. How many hearts beat the faster for see
ing the Bonnie Blue flag" once more asso
clat ed with troops in line of march?

NOTHING is funnler than the readiness
with which the argus sees in everything
which happens an intense disappointment or
a:severe blow to Mr.. Blaine. But it is not
well-posted. 1t omits to inform its readers
that Mr.. Blaine burst into tears when he
heard of the revocation of the edict Of
Nantes, because it was so damaging blow
to his presidential prospects, and it has for
gotten what an intense disappointment the
Lisbon earthquake was to him, that convul-
sion OF nature having smashed slate. 1t is
very generally conceded that Mr.. Blaine took
to bis bed at news Of the Portland city elec.
tlon. He had intended to bestow the Eng
lish mission on Gen. Fessenden to get him
out of the way. The sly fellow wanted to
be Mayor himself.

THE New York Democrats are up TO their
old tricks. Trusting that the frauds of Tweed
had been forgotten they have turned their at
tention to swelling the voting lists by false
entries thus giving opportunity for "repeat-
Ing" and enlarging the representation of the
city in the State legislature. In one district
alone 1,199 voters were returned, while cor
rect census shows that there are but 1890
