A SOLDIER WHO FOUND 100000.

London Times.
Ezelot, the French soldier who
found the .f26, 900 which M. Pages
lost in the Northern railway station
in Paris, has communicated to the
Courier de rAisne the particulars
attendant on his good fortune. They
are very interesting, and show how
some men are born to fortune, some
achieve fortune and some have for
tune thrust upon them. Ezelot was
walking through the railway station
with two comrades, when they no.
ticed on the floor a packet wrapped
in a newspaper. They kicked it
along before them for some distance,
and when Ezelot was getting into
the train, going home on short leave,
one of his comrades, picking up the
packet, thrust it into the canvass
forage bag slung at his side, Ezelot
going on his way without having
perceived the little pleasantly,

and thinking it WAS a packet of old

NJ. Pages had advertised throughout
Europe. The European papers are
not, however, read at Neuilly, where
the Courier de rAisne doubtless has
it all it's own way. The soldier and
his parents, not knowing what else
to do, followed the provincial French
mans instinct, and had recourse to

WADE HAMPTON has wallowed around
in the dirt Of regeneration until he has
come to appear in the public eye very
much like n wanton trifer with the truth.
The balance Of testimony is largely against
his attempt at ilat-footed denial of having
raised in his Staunton speech the inquiry
MS to what LEE and JACKSON would do if
now living.
Mr., YosT, the editor of the TaHey Tir-
giaiaa and who is moro than the peer of
WADE HAMToN in all that is truthful and
honorable, adheres to the declaration that
his report ofHA0PToN's speech at Staunton
is substantially correct. This declaration
is substantiated by the following from four
respectable democrats, who were present
and listened to what HAMPTON said:
We the undersigned, heard the speech of
General WADE HAMPTON delivered IN Staun.

THE GRErNnAcKEn,s COMPLAINT


DR.. T. A. BLAND writes in another col
umn from n sore heart. He is disappointed
and he is ready now to find q remedy for
ills which afilict him and bis party. lie is
not the only grcenbaclier who feels that he
has been too confident in his own opinion.
General WEAVER and Mr.. RANDALL have
had some unpleasant experiences. They
have been rulely awakened from pleasant
dreams All of these gentlemen, with the
twelve or fifteen greenbackcrs who are mem
bers of the present congress, have been
sneering at republican protests against
southern bulldozing and false counting as
the Haunting of the bloody shirt" They
were very national" in their views, and
held themselves so far aloof from the Sec
"tional" republicans as TO be found, nine
| times out of ten, voting with the democrats
Of the house. When the democratic caucus
determined to prccipitate contest with
the president upon the abrogaton or multi
iication Of the election laws the greenbacll-
ers in congress were found to a man voting
to remove even the frail check which
federal supervisors, appointed from each
! party, offered TO the fraudulent and violent
methods of conducting elections in the
south. They refused to pay the deputy
marshals for past services or to appropriate
money to carry out the law which they
had failed to have repealed.
Wisdom has come to them through ex-
perience. But rs is usually the case, it
comes too late TO do them much good. The
remedies proposed by DR.. BLAND will not
cure the evil or prevent the success of
fraud. We see but ono way for our green
back friends to effectively rcbuke bourbon
methods, and that is to secure for GARFIELD
and the republican candidates for congress
maiorities 50 large as to deter even the
most reckless from tampering with the
count. With republican executive and n
republican majority in congress it will be
possible TO devise means by which free
ballot can be secured in every state of the
union to every voter without regard to his
politics. This is the only hope. Unless
these are secured the same methods which
have secured and maintained bourbon
power in the southern states will be ex-
tended to secure control of national Offices;
and this once done, relief will be found only
in civil war.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1880-08-27

during the four years of the war shows that
there were more than four republicans TO
each democrat in the army. Indeed, five to
one is about the record. In view of this
the creature who will declare that there
were more democrats than republicans in
the union army that crushed the rebellion
and preserved the national life, is past all
" shame, and so past all truth" SOUTH says
that "no villniny or nagitious action was
ever yet committed, but, upon due in
"quiry into the causes Of it, it will be found
that lie was first or last the principle
engine to effect It," A branded liar, were
he not encased in brass, would sneak away
as JUDAS did and hang himself, or live in
constant dread of the fate of ANANIAs.

TIE DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION.

The democratic rally last evening was q
very respectable pageant in point Of num-
bers and troppiugs. The reserves, con
scripts and hireliugs were in line of pro-
cession, forming very extensive cayalcade,
and it is safe to say that scarcely q man on
parade, save those from Virginia and Mary
land, has vote in this election. There
were few colored men in the procession
and a fair quota Of white boys who, it is
said, drew pay for the service. This is all
very well, as ii gave idlers something to do
and enabled our democratic friends to dis.
burse several hundred dollars that other
wise might not have got into circulation at
this time. 1t pleased the boys, sweled the
procession and didn't do any material harm
TO anybody.
The meeting did not differ materially
except in size, from the usual run of such
assemblages. The brass of the occasion
was not entirely confined to the band OF
the battery used in firing the salute. il
pervaded the vcariOus features of the
affair and gushed up in the yelling speeches
of the orators. There were many utter.
anccs from the rostrum that would not ap.
pear well in aflidavits OF oral testimony in
view of the statute to punish perjury, but af.
ter all it matters very little what was said OF
done. The most glaringly insolent act 0!
the occasion that has been brought to notice
was the decoration of the statue of the
martyred LINCOLN by the hands of thos,
who, if they did not murder him Will
their own hands, sympathized with tn,
hands that performed the murderous act
This act is a mockery too insoent to b,
overlooked, and the act of hollow decoration
will afford no Precipitation for the dreadful
crime that bereaved the nation, and 70
which the party that has desecrated b,
a display Of decorative mockery the solemn
marble which represents ABRAHAM LIN,
COLIN is responsible in the eyes of the worlt
for his taking Off But this is of piec
with the hypocritical pretenses of tina
party now in claiming to be the party O
the union, which crushed the rebellion an,
saved the national life.
1t was said on the street last evenin
that rebel flag was among the dccora
tons on Louisiana avenue, near tn
LINCOLN statue. This, if true,
as fitting as that a squadron of tn
blacly-horse cavalry, which was terror o.
the Virginia border during the rebellion
should have graced the procession. Al
this is in keeping with the spirit and in
tents of this demonstration.
Another feature of the affair, which is o
piece with the rest was the reading of
letter from WADE HAMPTON, declining to b
present lest he might be misrepresented i
his utterances and do harm to the caus,
He also in the face of numerous witnessc
of his own party, who declare that HI
Staunton speech was in substance fairl
reported by the JdHey Vbgiaida, reterate
his denial of having said what was in
puted to him. This is n remarkable il
stance Of persistent efirontery, which wi
only add to his future discontinue.
We give in another portion of the papt
n fair report of the proceedings of the nee
ing at the city hall,
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1880-08-27

THE New York Sun seems to be very
much out of patience with Secretary
SHERMAN aud "old CLAPP," as it is pleased
in its ornate phrase to characterize the
editor of THE REPUBLICAN, for having
been identified somewhat prominently
with the GARFIELD and ARTHUR ratifica-
ton meeting held in this city last week.
Its ill-nature is nothing new, for that seems
to be its normal condition, while its per
sonalities are evolved from a mind soured
by disappointment and n consciousness Of
popular disrespect which follows as n
sequence of its guerrilla course of
life in journalism. There is not such
a disparity in the years that have been
allotted TO the editor of the Sun and
THE REPUBLICAN rs to entitle either to say
to the other 60 up, bald head" or to make
it gauge of controversy prciudical 10
either party. We knew CHARLES A. DANA
well fifty years ago, when we were serving
our apprenticeship as a printer and he was
sweeping out his unce's store and mcasur-
ing tape to the poor people of the then
NlluBG VI Dul4dlO' Inc OlllJ Jhlup VIC llCl
heard to DANA's discredit was that IN
honest yard.sticll did not always vindicate
the correctness Of the measure given to the
customers who patronized his uncle and
lie CHANGED TO serve, and this may have
been a SANDER upon the young man. We
might incline to that opinion but for the
fact that the subsequent life of DANA has
revealed the fact that he measures the mer
its Of his fellow-men by the yard-sticll o
his own preiudces and hates, which is no
very honest or manly. If DANA was ~
wealthy in the attributes of manhood, jus
tice and fairness as he is in his money
gains, he would be rather a charming char
acter but being rich in money and lacking
in the higher attributes of a loyeable char
acter, there are none so poor now as to dt
him reverence. A sourad, malignant ant
hateful disposition is not the most delec
table outfit for public journal, except thai
it caters exclusively for the Ishmaelite per
suasiOn Itbecomes more an object of hat,
and contempt than Of respect and admira
