A dispatch to the New York Herald from,

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Newmarket, Virginia, of May Is, says
To-day, the thirteenth anniversary of
the battle of Newmarket, was bright and
beautiful. Ever since daylight all the
roads leading to the town were thronged.
Long exclusion trains over the Baltimore
and Ohio Valley roads brought hundreds
from Winchester, Staunton and all inter-
mediate places for hundred miles along
the valley OF Virginia, BY eleven o,el-cir
ssyeEal thousand neople had gathered On
the old battle ground near the famous
Massanutten Gap.
A long procession was headed by o rem
nant of the Twelfth Virginia Confederat&
Cavalry, Colonel Grandstaff The mill
tary organizations comprised battalions
of volunteer infantry and artillery from
Staunton and HarrisOnburg and remnants
of the Eighth and Tenth Virginia Confed-
crate Artillery. On reaching the stand
thirteen guns were fred by the Staunton
artillery, and among the several brass
bands present was the famous Stonewall
Band, which followed jackson through
his memorable campaigns.
The exercises at the stand opened by
prayer by Rev. s. Henkel. A beautiful
memorial elegy, commemorating the battle
and victory, written by Professor Joseph
Solyards and read by Judge Calvert, was
well received, after which General John
Echols, of Staunton, who commanded
with distinguished gallantry the left wing
of Breckenridge's army at Newmarket,
delivered an admirable eulogy on the life
and character of General Breckenridge,
afterward Confederate Secretary of War.
He also gave vivid description of the
battle in which 5000 Confederates, under
General breckenridge. defeated 10000
Federals under General Sigel.
The crowd then partook of q plentiful
collation., which was served up in the
open air, the artillery fred 100 rounds,
and the immense concourse of citizens
departed quietly amid the greatest good
feeling Of all parties.

Memorial Day.

This year there has been serious move
on the part of New Orleans organizations
to join in the decoration of the Federal
dead on memorial day. Such an action,
from these who should have been at peace
with their survivors for more than dozen
years, would evince a change Of heart in
every way creditable. While in the North
there has not been an anniversary on
which the graves of the Confederate dead
have not been sought out and decorated
by the tender hands of mothers, wives
and daughters of those who slept in
Southern soil, succeeding years have made
no change here. Notices of the day made
at these times by the Democratic press
have generally coupled slur on the dead
with taunts to the living.
Even now they can not refrain from
them. 1t is said:
Hitherto, or at least within several years
past, the day has been celebrated by the
Republicans exclusively. They have, TO
a certain extent, made it an OCCASION for
q partisan demonstration, but this year it
is said that other associations will take
part in the ceremonies beside the Graud
Army of the Republic, so as TO divest
them of partisan character. All associa-
tions are invited to attend.
Such paragraph as this is not encour-
aging. 1t is true that none but Repub-
licans have taken part hitherto, but it is
also true that it has been q matter Of re-
gret on their part that it was So Each
year o general invitation to all has been
extended. None have accepted it. Last
year special circulars were sent by Con-
mander Woodward to nearly all organiz,-
tions in New Orleans, inviting them to AZ
tend. There was no response. 1t could
hardly be expected that in city that per
mitted only the Metropolitan Brigade tc
celebrate the fourth of July, and put or
a sombre appearance equal to PuritaF
Sunday, there could be found any organ
ization brave enough to respond to such
an invitation.
Even now that the army and navy o.
the United States joined in a politica
celebration by the troops that overthrew &
lawful government, a suggestion of honor
ing their dead comrades is announced il
these harsh terms. If ever this solemn
ceremony has been partisan demonstra
ton" it was so on the part of those WHIT
signifed their political feelings by remain
ing away.

: Rebuked for CondemninR crime.

AaCbEAGu ANE NEtlAGH
The PieGgptne takes us to task for hav-
ing commented on the bloody deeds which
have driven the white Republicans from
power and the colored Republicans from
the expression of their opinions at the
polls. 1t thinks that we refer ind@orous-
ly to the massacres of Colfaz and Coushatta
and that we should throw the veil of char
ity over the assassination of tho CHS
holm family by the bulldozers of Missis-
sippi. It is particularly hard that we
should have been rebuked for referring to
the failure of the Conservatives to keep
their plendes of peace. There seems no
word Of criticism for those who admit
Saint Goggles to the honors of
a fete day and celebrate the
anniversary of assassination by the dis
play of emblems and the firing of guns.
The American people have accepted the
recognizance of the Conservatives to keep
the peace and repress assassination, and we
can not be condemned if we report the
result of Conservative efforts. Unless
the Conservatives can disarm the Demo-
cratic bulldozers they will be compelled
to unite with the Republicans to secure
sufficient force for the restoration and
protection of public order. The Little
Rock Star reports the same inability to
execute the Conservative guarantees in
Arkansas as in Mississippi and Louisiana.
1t acknowledges the sincere anxiety of
Governor Garland to arrest and punish
offenders, but asserts that the local COM
binations prevent the execution of the
laws. The Star says:
We know of three ministers of the COS
pei being murdered as they rode quietly
along the road, and the murderer has not
been punished. The plea of the man
who did it is that it was "mistake;" !"
that he thought they were United States
revenue officers, or he would not have
molested them.
The question is whether such plea
would be accepted by an Arkansas court2
Are officers of the Federal government
protected by no game laws in Arkansasp
We can not stand rebuked for reporting
the violation of the Conservative pledges,
nor should any Conservative Journal COM
plain of us for having done so. The
REPUBLICAN will continue to report to the
American people this inability or indis-
position of the Democracy to preserve
the peace, but will, with equal fidelity
and sincere pleasure, chronicle any evil
dence that those pledges have been re-
deemed.

The Funding Board.

The regular meeting of the Board of
Liquidation was held Monday. All mem
bers being present.
Fiscal Agent S. Il. Kennedy accepting
notice of his election, the contract under
which his election had been made was
discussed.
Mr.. Black called attention to defects in
the contract relative to pro rata payments.
As arranged it would involve the mutila-
ton of coupons. 1t should also make
provision for the January interest. There
was no mention Of reimbursement of
the Fiscal Agent of the funds for that
amount He made motion in accord
ance with these views, but the board
concluded that the contract could not be
modified.
1t was resolved, on motion of Mr.. Bush,
to take up applications for funding in the
order fled, pass on their validity, give
notice to the holders of acceptance or
rejection and determine the authenticity
afterward.
Mr.. Black was in favor of the old plan.
There we're funded:
Thirteen seven per cent Penitentiary
bonds, act No. IS of 1869, $13, 900.
Five eight per cent leVee bonds, act
No. IS of 1866, $4,000.
1t was resolved that the five bonds of
$1,000 each, eight per cent levee, issued
under act No. 95 of 1865, Nos. 22O, $50,
PAT and 259, with the five coupons there
to attached, to the first of January, 1875,
be and the same are hereby declared not
fundable under the statute, Ne. of 1874,
until they have been legally adjudicated
upon in strict conformity to act No. II Of
1875, this board being of the opinion that
the only opinion rendered by the Sp-
preme Court of this State, to wit: In the
case of the State of Louisiana ex rel. At
torney General vs. Charles Clinton, Ad-
ditor, and Antoine Dubuelet, State Treas-
urer, Frank Morey intervenor, only ap-
plies and has effect as to the bonds then
held and presented in the litigation BY
said intervenor, Morey, aud that the in
junction in said matter, sued out by the
Attorney General as to all other bonds ol
said series, is still in full force and effect!
which, with said act No. II of 1865, per-
emptorily preclude this board from fund
ing any of said bonds until adjudicated
upon by the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Kennedy coming in to the board,
the subject of the contract was again dis
cussed, and his arguments changed the
opinion of the board.
The contract was therefore amended.

Hon. E. @. Billings, judge of The United
States District Court returned On'Mon-
day.
James Lyons, alias Murphy, was trans
ferred on his order to the custody of
Special Rathbone, to be taken to Ohio.
The argument in the case of Johnson
vs.. Jumel is fixed for Thursday. Tie ex-
ceptions of the defense are, first, thlt the
court has no jurisdiction; that the contest
is between citizens of the same State that
no constitutional rights have Oeen
'abridged; that the act of Congress does
bot apply; that the State has passed no
laws in conflict with the constitution of
lhe United States; that no jurisdiction is
EiVen where there is merely contest 'or
flee; and second, to the form Of the &C.
Ton, that all such suits must be brought
p the name of the State by the Attorney
General
The Supreme Court, in the application
y Allen Jumel as Auditor against George
Il johnson for a mandamus, made the
witt peremptory, and declared that this
dh not prevent trial of the right to the
o4ce in other proceedings.
IN the Superior Criminal Court Judge
Whitaker decided, paying at the same
ti4e deserved compliment to Lionel
A4ms, ESQ., whose brief the court
adPted, that it was incompetent for the
cit recorders 10 send prisoners to the
Wfkhouse, but must commit them 10 the
Palsh Prison.
4e Sixth District Court made the man
dans1s asked for by Criminal Sheriff
Ho9ton, requiring the city to pay sixty
cent per prisoner to March 10, 1877, per-
emnory.

is committee met on Monday.

This committee met on Monday.
Ex-Representative WiliiamJ. Hammond
testified that as one of the investigating
committee of 1876 he had refused TO sign
its report; did not know why it was with
held; it was understood that it was SO in
order to compel Auditor Clinton to do
something, he did not know what; he had
some talk with Clinton who had said he
proposed to admit he had been guilty of
some Irregularities in transferring from
one fund to another; he did not believe
Auditor Clinton had made anything out
of it himself
Mr.. j. L. Monthieu testified he had
made settlement at one time by paying
the Auditor S3623 % in greenbacks which
was never credited on the books of the
Treasurer; the Auditor had refused to
give him a quietus, and there was suit
in the Second Judicial District Court
against him for $4,000; he had paid it on
the advice of District Attorney Mckay.
Ex-senator W. W. Wharton testified he
had been on the committee, and the Au-
ditor had been impeached on its report;
the final report was defeated on its at
tempted introduction by Senator Herwig,
by Senator Burch's holding the floor on
the last day of the session until the adj
journment sine die; Mr.. Clinton was op-
posed to the report, but doa't know that
he approached any member of the COM
mittee about it; majority of the COM
mittee. agreed to the report; the books
we're badly kept, and there was difficulty
in tracing the different appropriations
Mr.. Clinton admitted irregulaTity here
The Supreme Court decision granting a
mandamus against Auditor johnson was
received, and Mr.. Aldige authorized to
make demand on him for his report Of
1876.

1t is the intention of President HAYES
to bestow the patronage of the admins
tration in the South on Republicans.
This is what they had right to expect.
They have borne the brunt of the fipht
with sectionalism and disloyalty, and their
services ought to be recognized. Cold
ness and indifference to men who have
suffered so much would be little else than
ingratitude. It is false policy to aban-
don the support Of friends for the pur-
pose Of conciliating enemies. Reciprocity
of friendship, fidelity TO those who have
made your fortunes, and who in all vicis-
situdes have stood by and upheld your in
terests, is the rule Of honor. Magma
nimity to political adversaries sounds
well, but it must not be carried too far.
Whatever may be said Of civil servicere>
form. it is nevertheless true, that an ad,
ministratioD, to be successful, must have
party to sustain it and advocate its poll
cy. Without such support it will be at
the mercy of its enemies and poWerlesa
for good. = Philadelphia Press.

NEW ORLEANS WEDNESDAY, MAY %, 1877.
New OrIenps Paclflc RuIIrOad.

The election on Friday is the basis of
most of the newspaper controversies at
present, and the general sympathy ap-
pears 10 be in favor of the tax. Those
who advocate it have very short series
of arguments, and they put them in few
words.
The road is home company; it will be
controlled in New Orleans; in addition to
the general benefit the payment of tax
to build it will bring to the public, the
individual taxpayer has an interest by
virtue of his tax receipt; it promises en-
ployment, and it prophesies increase of
trade and opportunities of labor.
The most persistent opponent is DR..
Tebault, of the real estate union, who de-
votes his attention mainly to show there
can not be any election at all. But not
all the property holders follow the doc
tor now. There was little said when the
efforts of his association were solely di-
rected to preventing the payment of taxes
to Republican government. But now
that it is general question many prop
erty holders, some signing communica-
tions as ex-members of the Union, declare
themselves in favor of the tax, and q
formidable list of wealthy firms confronts
DIR. Tebault
Mr. Archibald Mitchell and DR.. Brickell
publish long letters, but the proceedings
of the. Mechanics and Workingmen's Cen
trail Council, in favor of the tax, seem tc
have been more extensively read. Colone
James Lewis has written an excellent let
ter to the cololed people in favor of thu
tax, and it appears to have been well reaC
by the people. An snti-railroad meeting
is given hard knock by Mr.. j. G. Kost
meyer who, being present, declares only
one side was heard.
The argument that will probably hav,
the most effect, and which by carrying
out the railroad will insure its popularit,
and future support is that of the compan,
itself published over the signature of tn,
directors.
Once for all, the directors of the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company pro
claim that SO soon as the subscription t
their great undertaking is voted by tn
people. working parties in large number
will be placed both between New Orlean
and Alexandria, and Alexandria an
Shreveport and Marshall:
Already their contractor is calling 70
1900 men at good wages.

Hon. w. Jasper Blackburn, who leaves
the city for his home in Claiborne parish
to-day, takes with him marble monu-
ment to bo placed over the resting place
Of son, Solon B. BIaekburn, who died
in New Orleans some months since. The
front Of the marble slab represents panel
in the recess Of two columns surmounted
by an arch, which is closed with key
stone and capped with the symbolic urn.
The word "Hope" stands prominently on
the face of the keystone, and below are
engraved loving words from father, mother
and brother-the sentiments Of the living
for the mourned dead. This speaking
and chaste marble witness Of respect and
memory for the dead was produced at the
marble yard of Kursheedt & Bienvenu,
in this city, under the direction of Fore
man Harmon. It will appropriately adOrn
the family burying ground Of Mr.. Black
burn at his old home.
