The Grand Army OF the Republic.
The vitality of the Grand Army of the Re-
public is shown by the fact that, though
twelve years have passed since the war
ended, and nearly that time since the so
ciety was created, it now has an organiza-
ton extending through nearly all the
Northern States, and including many
thousands of Union soldiers. No de-
crease Of enthusiasm was shown in the
meeting of the National Encampment at
Providence yesterday. The parades, din
ners and festivities generally were in strong
contrast with the sufferings and hardships
these veterans had undergone in the tented
field, and they are to be heartily congratulated
on the success of the reunion. The speeches
of Commander-in-C Chief Hartranft and of
General Burnside were appropriate and
eloquent, and a peculiar illustration Of the
changed relations Of this country with Eng
land was furnished by the telegram sent by
Governor Hartranft to ex-President Grant,
"care of Queen Victoria" We trust
Her Majesty saw that it was delivered
promptly, for such courtesy would
strengthen the friendship existing be-
tween the two nations. It is well
that the heroic deeds of the war should
be recalled, and that the men who shouldered
the muskct in the dark days OF the Republic
should meet to celebrate its prosperity, and
in all these respects the proceedings of the
National Encampment have the approval Of
the public. The fear that it would become
merely o party organization has been
dissipated by experience, for its influence
upon politics has been slight, especially of
late years, and many Union veterans are
not members Of the Order. Danger from
such a society is chimerlcal, for the Ameri-
can soldier could never betray the principle
for which he fought. Yet the most harmless
Of organizations may be diverted from its
proper ends, and this was tho case when
the resolution was adopted yesterday, de-
claring that Decoration Day was intended
to perpetuate the memories Of Union
soldiers only. 1t is too late, twelve years
after the war to indulge in this spirit, and
we are glad to believe that the mistake of
moment will not be indorsed by the
majority Of the members Of the Grand Army,
certainly not by the majority Of the Union
soldiers, nor by the American people.

In future no appointments or discharges shall

A Gloomy View.

Some of the Philadelphia ofice-holders
declare plumply that the Presidents civil

party. 1t seems to us they take needlessly
gloomy view of the situation. The party is
dead already. The poor thing is out of its
misery its suffcrings are over. But II

republican party III Maryland. He was an ex-
tremc republican during the war, going so far
to offer q resolution in tho Legislature prohibit
ing Marylanders who joined the Confcderacy

MORMON lNIQUTY.-Our correspondent who

THE WEArnER.-Thc disturbances that have
passed over large an area OF the West have
caused considerable damage TO the crops A
very general rainfall has saturated the ground
and caused the overflow of the rivers in some
sections. The tornado winds that have attended
the heavy rains have prostraied growing grain
and destroyed good deal of timber.
in the Illinois vine district, dispatches state
y vast amount Of damage has been done, which
will materially affect this years grape crop. The
depression which ON Monday was central be-
tween the Mississippi and the Missouri has
already reached the Middle Atlantic coast
- q barometric trough. Its eastward move
mcut developed several heavy storms. one Of
which passed last evening over Pennsylvania and
New York States. We experienced its effects in
the city toward night In heavy rain and de
cided fall Of temperature after midnight. The
low barometer which reached the Nova Scotia
coast at the latter end Of the week was attended
by violent winds In that region, which cansed
considerable damage TO the fishing fcet. The
rains yesterday extended northward from
Tennessee and from the Mississippi to the
Atlantic coast. Quite heavy local fall occurred
In Eastern Texas. The pressure Is now highest
in the Gulf and South Atlantic States, and is
lowest in tho lower lake region and Middle
States. Tho pressure is rising ON the Pacific
coast. The differences Of temperature were very
marked ON the Atlantic coast northward from
SANDY Hook and favored the development Of
.uch storms n passed northeastward during the
.vrninu. The weather in View York to-day will
he cooler and cloudy or partly cloudy, possibly

with as much care and accuracy as
the author has shown in his compi-
lation Of the statistics of the Cum
berland mines, and it contains
great deal of information relating to
the coal fields and mining operations
in foreign countries. While the Re-
ciprocity treaty was in force, from
1854 to 1861 coal from the British
provinces in North America was ad-
mitted into the United States free of
duty. From 1866 to 1872 the duty
on all foreign coal was Sl.25; since
1872 the duty has been rs cents per
ton. Singularly, the reduction in
the tariff has not increased the i'm
portation of coal. In 1870, when the
duty was slips, we imported 400, 1888
tons; in 1876, when the duty was on
ly rs cents, we imported 407 1853 tons.
We export about 100000 tons more
per year than we import. Balto.

THE CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE
WARRINGTON, May 12-Assistant
George Davidson telegraped to c. P.
Patterson, superintendent coast sur
vey, in relation to the earthquake
waves registered on the 10th of May
by the tide guage at Fort Point, en-
trance to San Francisco harbor, to the
following effect: "Sharp earthquake
waves occurred on Thursday, May
10th, at 6 o'clock and IS minutes a. m.
Five rises and falls of nine inches
in eight minutes. Then nine maxi
ma or crests, forty.eight minutes
apart with secondary maxima. lar

three minutes in traversing the Pa

Let it he said to the credit of the
Southern press that so far as heard
from it has been unanimous and out
spoken in its condemnation of the
Mississippi outrage as disgrace to
the State and the whole section. The
Vicksburg Herald thus calls upon
Governor Stone to bring the MUIR
derers to justice: "The people are
with him, and he may rest assured
that he can secure all the aid he
wishes to enforce the laws. We hope
he will cause the arrest and prompt
trial of those to blame in this horri-
BILE affair, and if the officers of the
law meet with the least opposition,
we hope the Governor will at once
call out sufficient militia force to
crush all resistance. The Governor
has the power of the whole State at
his command, and should show the
world that the State of Mis-.
sissippi is able to enforce all the laws
promptly and effectually. This
great tragedy will be shorn of half
its evil effects if it is followed by a
swift and sure retribution."

ton than can be scraped together by
the politicians who are now its prin-
cipal promoters. The abuses from
which we are now suffering can find
no relief in a mere politicians scram-
BILE. which will eventually divert the
public from the true issue, which is,
as we take it, to obtain equitable and
fair rates of transportation to and
from our county, so that the several
interests Of our people shall not be
crushed out of existence. If we are
wise we may confidently hope for
this result at an early dav.

A Democratic organ says: IF
President Hayes will continue as he
has begun his administration, DEM
ocrats will try to forget the mode by
which he obtained his position" We
hope not. Do let them keep on re.
memberiug that he got it by the
deliberate decision of an Electoral
Commission originated and prepared
by themselves. If anything makes
Democrats gnash their teeth over
this defeat, it is the reflection that
they provided the very means for.its
perfect accomplishment.

Mr.. Redfield, in one of his letters
to the Cincinnati Commercial speaks
of Chisolm and Gilmet, who were
assassinated by the mob in Kmper
county, Mississippi. Both men and
served with great honor in the Con.
federate army, and their only crime
was that they had become Republic
cans after the war. They were the
leading men of their section, and
were worth quite $1OO, 900 each. They
were charged with the murder of
John w. Gully, a most unlikely
thing for men of culture and wealth
to have anything to do with. There
was no evidence against them except
the testimony of two negroes. Mr..
Redfield makes sharp point when
he says: But even granting that the
affidavits were freely made, here are
five men slaughtered without judge
or jury upon the uncorroborated
oaths of two negroes. Yet the aver
age Southern man will tell you that
you can get niger to make an affi-
davit to order for fifty cents. 1 heard
it hundred times in New Orleans
during the investigation into the
barbarities In the buldozing parishes.
The answer to the whole mass of
testimoney there was this: Why my
dear sir, those river niggers will
swear any kind of affidavit for fifty
cents.
