JUNE 12-The movement of the Army oil
the Potomac TO tho James River began to-day.
At night the troops moved cautiously from
their intrenchments in front of tho enemy at
Cold Harbor, aud taking their positions in the
rear OF the column marched quietly southwest
erly toward the James The enemy were
taken by surprise by the sudden and
complete disappearance of the Federal
troops from their front. one column had O
short engagement with force of the enemy at
| White Oak bridge, which resulted in the re-
treat of the rebels. The Federal loss in killed
aud wounded was less than 200 men, The
whole loss attending the movement, including
skirmishers left ut Cold Harbor aud cut of by
the enemy, was not more than 400, and not q
gun or wagon was lost. This skillful flank
movement, accomplished so successfully, was
one of the most wonderful military movements

The Garrison Meeting at AtIaata, Ga.

10 the Editor OF Tie NaII0n0I ReDuUllc0l!
SIR; memorial meeting in honor ofWilliam
Lloyd Garrison was held in Lloyd Street NJ
L. Chu rch, Atlanta, last sunday evening. The
Governor refused the use of the hall Of Rep
resentatiyes, and the morn ing daily, the Con-
sHution, would not announce the meeting
Nevertheless it got well known, the evening
daily, the Post, giving it good notice. The
Governor is good at gushing at Chautauqua
aud Brooklyn, but when it comes to allowing
his fellow.cltzens the use Of the hall Of state
to which thoy had the same right as he, ia
another question. As Rev. Mr.. Ashley said

THE charge that Colonel LEN HARRIS
was drunk when he put Tom EWING in
nomination at the late Ohio Democratic
Convention appears to have disturbed the
equanimitY OF the Democratic press in a
very serious manner All the Bourbon
scribblcrs in the country are rushing to his
defense with more or less direct denials of
the charge. They are now digesting q dose
Of their own medicine, such as they admin
istcred to Senator CHANDLER on the occa-
sion Of his late JEFF DAVIS speech. But il
is q noticeable fact that they one and all
admit that Colonel HARRIS voice on the
occasion referred to was so weak that lie
could not be heard throughout the conven.
tion hall, 4 discreet public will draw its
own differences.

We do not say that General GRANT de-
sires to be, or will be, the Republican stand
ard-bearer in 1850 for that is a question
which the people at the proper time and in
their own way will decide with an emphasis
not to be mistaken, so that point can safe
ly be left there for the present; but this
much we do say, without the fear of just
contradiction, there is no man named on
the Republican side for the Presidency
whom the Democrats dread so intensely rs
they do the name Of GRANT, and for this
reason they have set the pump Of Cesarism
at work vigilnntly.

THE dryel of Iowa ill-feeling that is
doled out through the columns of Bour-
bon journal in this city against Secretary
McCRARY, now that he has been nominated
by the President for a judicial position, is un-
becoming the occasion, and it is to be hoped
will not succeed in its ultimate purpose of
securing his rejection by the Senate. If it
should, it is q very easy matter to trace the
mischief to its legitimate source-inside
the Republican party.

The Democratic Death-yvarrant.

The Democrats in Congress are acting like the
herd of swine the evil spirits entered. They are
rushing headlong to their destruction. If their last
revised and improved programme as announced
isn't their political deOth'warraut II will be from 10
lack of stupidity on the part Of its projectors The
President should veto this folly in italics. There
is no right in this Government for any Of its

toes. 1t was heavily charged with ques-
tionable ammunition, and if any one is hurt
by the discharge it will be the gunner him

IN criticising the demonstration of rebel
flags and rebel sentiments at Winchester,
Va, on the occasion of decorating the graves
of the rebel dead, the Cumberland (Md)
Neus says very tritely:
We have always argued that the South can
not afford TO keep alive the issues which led to
the war. How many demonstrations like that
at Winchester will it take to send the country
headlong into Republcanism

the present campaign in Ohio, which is but
preliminary skirmish to the great national
battle of next year, is illustrated by con-
tentions and disputes of n national charac-
ter, exactly similar to those of 1860 and

thank for this result

THE more they hear from the people the
more anxious the majority of Congress seem
TO be to get away from the scene of their
multitudinous follies, iniquities, aud de-
feats. They have fooled away some three
months of valuable time, trincd away much
party political capital, suffered repeated de-
feats III their pitched battles under selec-
tion of their own positions, and now they
are ready to flee from the wrath to come, if
such thing be possible. The House has
named the 18th, less than week ahead, for
adjournment, and yet they are at the very
threshold of the business that called Con-
gress together 1t is safe to say that they
will not adjourn thus early unless they
leave their work unfinished, and should they
attempt this we greatly mistake the temper
of the President if they are not reconvened
by proclamation within three days Of the
time when they attempt to escape. That
they can, if they will, close up their work
in an honest, manly way within the period
named there is no doubt, but to do so will
he to confess to the country that all of three
months but single week, and that at the
close, have been trifled and frittered away
in party perYerseuess and disloyalty to the
hest good of the Government They fear
to stay, and they dare not go and this is
the Democratic dilemma of the period. We
predict that Congress will not adjourn on
the 18th and wait the event

The Democratic victory, Of which the
"steam whistle" at the capital blows so
stentorously, does not wear such roseate
tints elsewhere, even to Democratic eyes.
The Charleston Ne,cs, which has more sense
than the average Bourbon "steam whistle"
pays its respects to the majority in Congress
in this wise:
There was a moment when they could have
Tetreated with some credit now they will re-
treat because they can't help it. The Demo-
Gratis have been put on the defensive from the
first aud the reason is that in the Northern
mind they We're on probation, worthy to be
supported as long as they confined themselves
to retrenchment aud the reform of abuses in
office, but to be suppressed at once if they at
tempted any legislation repugnant to what is
conveniently called "thc national ideap

THE Democrats continue to howl about
corruption at the ballot-box, partisan jury
trials, and the usurpation of minority rule
in the South. These are the issues they
intend in the narrowness and blindness OF
their political preiudices to present to the
people in the coming campaigns. We are
satisfied, more than satisfied, with their
choice, The Republican party will take up
this gauntlet and fight it out on that line
until November, 1880. Corruption at the
ballot-boX means repeating, stu6ing, the
use of tissue ballots, and the control of the
polls by White-Leaguers and rifle clubs
partisan jures means the exclusion from
the jury box in the State courts of colOred
citizens aud Republicans generally; while
minority rule, especially in the South
means the practical and wholesale disiran-
chisement of everybody and any one who
does not vote the Democratic ticket. This
analysis of the campaign issues presented
| by the Democrats is based upon the un
prejudiced facts in the premises. When il
is presented TO the people on the stump ant
elucidated rs it will be by convincing sta
tistics, those issues will prove to he mos
destructive boomerangs, rebounding to tn
infinite injury of their projectors.

for the issues Of the coming campaigns.
This is but another form of the guilty cry

opened the graves of the buried past they
are the ghouls Of our political present, aud

antagonize and nullily the war amendments

FoRGRRY.-A case Of forgery has de.
veloped in which the principal is not
known, and who has taken care to cover
up traces to his discovery pretty well. It
seems that someone who has been loafng
about Otis Hall Temperance, Union, and
who was pretty well posted on the way
things were run there, forged the name OF
Mr.. William E. Wimms 70 IN order on Mr..
T. ]. Cartwright for a banjo. The mem
bers OF Otis Hall Union have been giving
dramatic entertainments, and Mr.. Cart
wright was known to be prominent TEN.
perance man, and the person who forged
the name took blank Murphy pledge
and wrote on the back OF it a request 10
Mr.. Cartwright to loan the Union a banjo
to practice with, and signed to the card the
name OF William F. .Wimrns, The iorger
was sharp enough MOTTO present the order
in person, but prevailed upon afttle boy
named Johnnie Lang to- take the
note to Mr.. Cartwright, and bring
the banjo to him. The first MIR. Wimms
knew Of the aAairwas a polite note he re-
ceived from Mr.. Cartwright to return the
banjo loaned him. Not having borrowed
q banjo, Mr.. Wimms mediateIy repaired
to Mr.. Cartwright's and ELECTED from him
the above facts. The boy Lang cannot be
found, the only thing known about him
being what he told Mr.. Cartwright, that
his name was Lang, and that man had
sent him for the banjo. Mr.. Wimms is
very DESTROYS to see either theman, who
took the objectionable liberty OF attach
ing his name to the card, or the boy who
carried the note.
