badges worn by the Vermont knights of the
scissors yesterday, and which was the only
symptoms of greenness about them, let it
be said, caused one of the dock stevedores
to remark that they were all Irish, be-
gorra.'
IT is noticeable that for the first time
since 1860 the Fourth of July was cele-
brated at Charleston S. c., this year by a |
national salute. We hope Charleston really |
meant it and will use her powder in this way |
hereafter instead of giving it to democratic |
rifle clubs.
THE public credit of the United States,
says the London Times, is about the same as
that of France. Both countries cah borrow
money in the open market at somewhat less
than four per centum. Whatever is done in
congress no holder of American bonds feels
himself in any danger.
SENATOR CHANDLER says of himself as a
presidential candidate al do not decline
one is ridiculous, so that it would be absurd
for me to decline" He also denies that he
offered to advance money for the payment
OF United States marshals.
CINCINNATI Commercial: "The fact now
apparent that France must buy this year of
American grain to the value OF about $780,
100000, will keep the balance of trade in our
favor, retain at home our gold product, buy
all sorts of bonds held in Europe, and thus
stop the outflow of interest"
THE secretary of the senate means to en-
force against Senator Sharon an old and al
most forgotten law which forbids payment
to any member of congress for the time in
which he is absent during session, except
on account of sickness or by leave of the
house of which he is a member.
FROM Ex-Governor Chamberain's address
Peace is our aim and prayer-but the
peace we seek is the peace of the Declaration
Of Independence, the peace of freedom, the
peace of justice, the peace of free and
honest ballot, peace under equal laws, for
all men, for black as well as white, at the
North and at the South"
INDIANAPOLIS Journal: alt was love of
country, not hatred OF the South, that in
spired the North to uphold the government
in its efforts to suppress the rebellion. The
Fourth of July represents this idea, and it
is fair to hope its general celebration in the
South indicates that the light of genuine
patriotism is beginning to dawn down
there"
Boston Herald: "Millions of young men
are growing up to whom the war is tradi-
ton, not an experience. They look to the
future of our country, and, North or South,
have no sectional hatred in their hearts.
The ghouls cannot influence these young
men, whose inheritance is republic founded
by patriots who knew neither, North nor a
South"
Mrs. SARAH A. DORSEY of Mississippi
has just died, leaving her whole estate, EN-
bracing two large plantations and an ele
giant villa, TO jeff Davis for his great
services and sacrifices on behalf of the
South" Davis said not long since that he
never met Southern lady who was recon
structed. 1t is evident his benefactress was
no exception TO the rule.
UNITED STATES Marshals who have moth
ing laid by for rainy day will experience
some discontinue from the circular recently
issued from the treasury department, stat
ing that owing to the exhaustion of the ap
preparations for paying the expenses of the
office cannot be settled at present. As soor
as means are provided the sum due you will
be paid
THE panic at Memphis is by no means
surprising, when the terrible experiences o.
last years yellow fever season are recalled
and the health authorities may have giveI
the best advice in suggesting that every
body that could leave town, for southerner
have learned that fight to locality wher
the disease never prevails is the only sur
preventive. 1t is early in the season TO
yellow fever, and even these few cases ar
alarming.
