ocratic government and the expression Of the

insulting and defamatory.
Such vlllification should be everywhere In q

that old aristocratic contempt for popular
rights which found appropriate expression in
the old Tory philippics against our revolu-

British tyranny. These. the hired writer's

Thus old Dr. johnson taxed his nondarona

There are probably ten thousand novels In
our libraries which touch upon the Reign Of
Terror OF France. That period was one Of
the most romantic in our history, full Of
startling events, full Of the finest plots for
novel and romance. There is not one of these
but touches on the guillotine and the
slaughter Of the noblemen and their SYM
pathizers. If such unreliable testimony as
novels be taken as evidence, there we're hum
dreds OF thousands Of people slain What
does history say Of the matter? Some say
that there were 10000, some even more; none
less than 10000. An investigation was made
into the matter the other day, the archives
OF the State thoroughly overhauled, the lists
OF the condemned verified and 1t was then
found that In the ten years popularity known
as the ''Reign of Terror" and extending from
the execution Of Marie Antoinette, not over
$500 were guillotined throughout France, an
average Of less than one day. History, as
1t had often done before. had made serious
mistake and exaggerated the victims OF
Robespierre u Co. tenfold.

Gilbert G. Walkers appearance In the Dem
ocratic convention Of New York was instanced
by the stalwart press as an evidence Of South
ern ingratitude. 1t YVES asserted that he had
returned from Virginia to his native State q
sad and disappointed man, and was dis
posed to think himself ill-used by Southern
Democrats. II the feeling ascribed to ex-Gov.
Walker had found expression by him he
would have proven the migrate. The people
Of Virginia made him their Governor and
twice sent him to Congress. This was GER
tainly an ample compensation for whatever
he had done In their behalf. We are pleased
to see that Gov. Walker never expressed him
self as dissatisfied with the manner in
which he was treated by Virginia.
He has written letter to a
friend In Richmond stating that the precari-
GUS condition Of Mrs. Walkers health, as well
as that of her father, and the necessity OF
each for the care and attention Of sister and
daughter, together with desire to have them
all under his own roof-tree, which otherwise
could not be accomplished, are the reasons
which have induced him to abandon Virginia
and take up his permanent residence In his
native city. Binghamton, N. Y. In this let
ter Gov. Walker speaks gratefully OF the dis
tinguished honors bestowed on him during
the past fifteen years by the people OF Vir-
ginia, and says the conclusion to which he
has come has not been reached without the
severest mental struggle and many thought
full days and sleepless nights" He says Good
bless the old Commonwealth" will ever be his
prayer. Certainly there is nothing which
characterizes the soured and disappointed
man here

A table OF the amount obtained by the gov
eminent from customs and internal revenue
shows that the largest amount derived from
the duty on imported goods was In 1872, when
Sale,a70,2s6 was collected. The largest re-
eeipts from internal revenue was in 1866,
h sos. ,s13 being the sum then yielded. The
expense Of collecting the internal revenue last
year was per cent, Of collecting the customs
III per cent. The latter expense instead Of
decreasing, has steadily increased for num-
Der OF years, having cost more under Sher-
mans administration than any time In the
history OF the country.

The color-line has broken out In the town OF
Marlborough, New York, and In very ag.
gravated form. The Methodists of that lit
tie burgh have church to which they cor
daily invited the colored people OF the town
on the understanding, however, that the lat
ter were to take back seats, keep quiet during
the service and not join In the hymns. The
negroes accepted this offer and for years at
tended the church under these conditions OF
late, however, as result of the nonsense they
saw and read In the Radical press, the MARI
borough negroes have reheIled against the
manner In which they were treated aud
claimed equal rights with the whites. This
claim was taken up bysome of the white mem
bers OF the church and split and serious
feud was engendered. A few days ago one OF
the negrophilist members of the church
preached. AS O consequence most of the
opposition members of the congregation
stayed away from the service and the ne.
groes and their allies were In a majority. The
minister took advantage OF the occasion and
submitted to the popular vote the question
whether negroes should be admitted to all
the rights Of the church or not, which was, OF
course carried in the affirmative The result
