second prize in pedestrian match up in

SENATOR LAMAR indorses Mr.. FINLEY's |
loyalty, and now who will vouch for La
MAR as u man loyal to the laws of recon-
struction and the results of the war?
THE Free-Sunday-Tip of Richmond,
Va, have decided to run a Legislative ticket.
They are bound 10 do their drinking on
Sunday in free, open and above-board
manner, or, as they do now, sneaking be-
hind the doors.
THE exodus of white people from the
yellow fever region of the South is exactly |
as unreasonable rs t.le migration of the |
blacks from the same section last spring. |
Both classes were induced TO flee from dam
ger, and by any fair parity of reasoning
neither one can be blamed more than the
other.
GEORGE II. BUTLER informs the public
that he has obtained divorce from ROSE
ETYNGE, his wife. 1t is strange how the
impression should have obtained thatit was
ROSE who obtained the divorce. GEORGE
will get along now since he has got clear of
his matrimonial impediment and has cut
the acquaintance of his Uncle BEN
THE Congressional Sub Committee on the
Brighton Beach has organized-takes its
baths regularly, never fails to put in an ap-
pearance at table, and the balance of its
time it sits upon the beach and watches the
waves as they break upon the shore, until
the shades of evening drive them to other
amusements
- EVEN the business men of Chicago admit
that the country is on a better business
basis now then it was ten years ago. And
Chicago, it must be remembered, is the
place of all the places in the West, or in the
entire country, which would be the last to
feel solidiflcation of our commercial af-
fairs Greenbackers will please take notice !!
The Democrats in the Departments nOW
show a commendable zeal in subscribing to
the Republican campaign fund, some even
having sent for the collector to call upon
them for that purpose Of all Others they
should not be backward in coming for
ward. Before the end of the month their
names will probably be on our subscription
list.
MINISTER WELSH seems to have done o
good thing, personally, in resigning By
this act he has suddenly become the most
highly commended man in this country
and is now discovered that he is actually a
great and good man. When he was APP
pointed, however, it was announced by the
Democratic press that he Was unfit for the
position, and all that sort of thing.
ALL we have to say of young FINLEY is
that if he is truly loyal to the flag of this
country, the conversations imputed to hin
are not ample proof Of the fact. A boy
eight years old at the time of the war was
of the right age, if he had a rebel mother,
to be filed with rank rebellious sentiment
for, as JEFF DAVIS says, reconstruction
has never yet reached a Secesh woman tC
make q Unionist of her.
WHILE the Richmond Dispatch is abou
it, claiming that JOHN SH ERNAN will get
the solid Republican support in the SOutl
in next National Convention, why doesn't
it put the figures right ? 1t persistently
refers to that support as being comprised
of 1873 votes These figures show the strength
of the Southern States in the Electoral Col.
lege but in the Republican Convention
they are doubled
If this anti-Jew crusade keeps on the
boosted freedom and equality of our form'
of Government will again become n laugh
ing stock in the eyes Of the civilized world
There is possibly, remedy against thi
persecution in the laws which license tn,
keeping Of public hotels or under the Civil
Rights Act. But it appears that the He
brews, as a class, are too proud and indie
pendent to clam their rights under tn
laws.
IT begins to appear that breach ha
been made in the persistent and obdurat,
blindness of Jersey justice. "CovE" BEN
NETT and Mrs. SMITH are to have ney
trial; GRAHAM, the accomplice of HUNTER
is liable to escape the death penalty, an,
Citizen MOVES enjoys fair prospect of re
lease from confinement. If this kind O
thing keeps on New Jersey will soon los
hei identity as foreign country, and be
como entitled to recognition as part an
parcel of the United States
THE return of the mass of those voter
to their first partisan love who have straye
away from the Republican party in Ohio
and the West generally, to join the Green
back organization, strikes terror to tn
hearts ofthe Democracy. In fact, the Dem
ocratic organs here and elsewhere are EN-
deayoring to stop this movement by ever,
means at their command 1t is signihcan
among other things of the defeat of To,
