MEMPHIS, April ga telegram
from Stockville, Mississippi, says
"On the morning of the Oath, a
large barn belonging to Jordan
Moore, who resides five miles south
of this city, was burned to the
ground. Suspicion points to a
negro named Johnson Spencer, who
was in the employ of Moore, and
who was arrested for the crime, but
on examination was acquitted. Last
night Moore's other mammoth barn,
containing wagons, provender, agri>
cultural implements, ETC., was dis
covered in flames. This time the
incendiary was caught, who proved
to be a negro named Nolin Porter.
He confessed, and also implicated
Johnson Spencer and others. To-
day about a hundred men heard his
confession and hung him to a tree"

GENERAL BRACES GRAFTON.

General Bragg always had the reputa-
ton of being forcible talber with the
rare faculty of expressing much in few
words. But after his speech at Antietam
he must be accorded bulliaucy as well as
force. 1t is not speech that is replete
with ''maudin sentiment" but one
which depicts in its author a happy
blending Of the hero, the statesman and
the orator The General is good ex-
emplifeation of the truth that man of
courage is never cruel. Having risked
ms life in the defense Of his country, he
does not aim TO cast obloquy upon the
men whom lie fought and helped to con-
quer. When war came, General Bragg
obeyed its clarion notes and cast off the
citizens dress ~ don the soldiers uniform.
When peace was restored he dotted the
panoply OF war and his voice was for
peace. He IS not an anachronism like
Blaine and Chandler, who cannot now
refer 10 a war in which they took no
part without yilifying people conquered
10y such soldiers as Bragg.
No one takes more pride in the army
Of which he was distinguished member
than General Bragg. He feels "that
memory would be false to its Office, and
a comrade recreant to his fealty" did he
not remember their deeds with a feeling
Of pride and do justice to their bravery
IN his eloquent Grafton. But his SOL
lierly spirit does not stoop TO add one
jot Of sorrow to the people who espoused
the wrong cause. His description of the
battle is as vivid SIS Victor Hugo's Of
Waterloo. 1t is a tribute to the northern
dead, sincere without abuse of those who
were mourned by another section of the
union. General Bragg has shown tha.
. true soldier can pronounce q eulogium
upon fallen comrades without expressing
bitterness against those he fought. It
would be too much to expect as much of
men with smaller minds.

VETO NUMBFR THREE.

yet once again" the president has
shown his stalwartism to he of the ap-
proved sort. and a veto is again inter
posed at the direction of tue republican
caucus. The greatest surprise IS that
Hayes should attempt to justify his We
toes. The whole country knows, repub-
licans as well as democrats, that leglsla-
ton is negatived simply because the
interests Of the republican party demands
ii. His assumed concern for the purity"
of elections is the most gauZy dress IN
which hypocrisy was ever invested.
The laws providing for marslals and
supervisors OF elections, if not abused,
may to a certain extent prove efficacious
in preventing illegal voting. But every
cent discussed in fees for these officers
serves the same purpose as a republican
campaign fund The functions of these
officers as understood by themselves and
the administration employing them, are
not to keep the ballot from those not
entitled to it, and not to insure all the
privileges Of the elective franchise to
those who have complied with the law
which gives them the power to vote, but
70 prevent by every scheme which in
genuity cin devise and brazen impu-
dence execute, q democratic majority.
For this reason, as shown by Senator
Humans able speech, marshals and
supervisors are thickest in those states
which are considered doubtful. They
are placed where they can do the most
good for the republican party. They
have complete control over the liberties
Of citizens on election day. The money
appropriated for marshals and supervis-
crs IS a corruption fund used to stimu-
late the faithful to increased activity IN
the cause OF republicanism. To repeal
the law providing for the appointment of
thca> officers would be to deprive the
republican party Of very efficient means
Of electioneering and intimidation.
The president says the laws should not
be repealed because they are constitu-
tional. Suppose it is granted that they
are, is this a valid reason that they
should not be repealed. Suppose that
every law enacted by governments since
Justinian codifed the Roman laws,
should still remain on the statute books
and in force what mass of statues we
should have, What a sublime reason
this, that laws should not be repealed
What n vision into futuriry Legislators
should have lest they enact some laws
not suitable to posterity ! How supreme
" foolish were our forefathers when they
amended the constitutional forms for the
election Of president and vice president
The legislatures of every state have time
and again transcribed their just powersin
repeating laws, which they thought were
unsuited to the changed condition Of
affairs. Revised statutes are delLsior
and q snare, for so says Hayes, aided by
the united wisdom of the republican eau
