SAM CAREY told his audience in Maine to
make the vote for General Plsisted $50 strong
shat no major-general will be needed at the
capitol next winter and no stump speech from
the supreme COURT Sam evidently forgot
that the party he is talking for is now mill
tary party aud wants major.gonoral at the
capitol the very worst way.
ONE of the dangers now threatening tho
country is very forcbly set forth by the
Egyptian church and state cartoon in Puck of
this week. The gallant general looks better
In the bullrushes than ho will on horseback,
and the Irish daughter of Pharaoh, sur
rounded by all the democrats of the court of
her pa, seems delighted with her hud.
HERE is pregnant passage which Wade
Hampton eliminated from his speech: 80 it
Is that I, like so many of tho veterans of the
confederacy, am jealous Of the honor, aud
proud of the glorious heritage bequeathed TO
her by her Lee aud her Stonewal Jackson"
What Is the GLORIOUS heritage" alluded toP
aud why is Hampton afraid to acknowledge
before the north that he possesses it2
SENATOR WADE HAMPTON feels sore. rs
my whole record since tho close of the war;"
says he, to bo frittored away by the forgercs
of an obscure newspaper writer2" It's his
record before and during tho war that honest
men are looking to, tho basencss of which will
somehow or other keep continually showing
itself in his arguments for a change in the
present mode of republican government.
A r. 1,N ~ 81 n, ii.J, D.
ord, an independent paper supporting Han
cock, says: "A month ago thero was regular
old'fashioned permoating enthusiasm here in
favor of Hancock, but it has gradually faded,
rs fog-bank before the sunlight, aud is gone.
The second thought has come; hero worship is
forgotten; the men Mt the heads of the tickots
are nero ornaments; tho battle array is he.

principles"
THE people of Falls Church, Va, are much
excited over the cutting of the halyards of the
Hancock and English flag, on the night of the
18th instant There is no clue to the perpe-
traitor, though naturally the democrats sus.
pect the republicans. The action Is as strongly
denounced by democrats as by republicans,
Mr.. A. P. Eastman, member of the Gar
field and Arthur club, has offered reward
for the conviction of tho guilty party.
SAY less Of Hancock and give us moro of
Robert L. Lee" was wildly cried few days
since by a delegate in the Mississippi state
convention to one of his colleagues who was
addressing that body in rather eloquent terms
in his praises of Hancock. "Say less of Han
cock and give us more of Robert L. Lee ~ and
the sentiment was loudly cheered, ovidencing
Enthusiastically the feeling of the people of that
state. What a world of meaning there is in
that cry and in those cheers
THE Harrisonburg Virginia Post has the fol-
lowing from q Richmond correspondent under
date of August II, 1880: "AIr. w. c. Chase,
editor of paper in Washington, d. c., and
Rev. Mr.. Carey, an expelled baptist preacher
of West Virginia, will soon address the rati-
fication, negro, democratic meeting to bo held
here. Tho club is composed of two members.
Their headquarters is located in cellar on
Broad street, near Ford's hotel furnished
with one table and broken chair"
A CORRESPONDENT writing from Fairmont,
W. Va, says THE republican party in the
state Of West Virginia, determined to throw
Off the yoke of oppression placed upon them
by the bourbon democracy, are organizing and
putting themselves in full fighting trim all
over the state. The organization in our
county is complete and working harmonously.
We hsvo fitted up committoe.rooms in Fair
mont, from which point we will wage an ag.
gressive warfare upon the democracy till the
close of the national canvass"
THE editor of the Valley Tirginian thus re.
plies to the charge that Wade Hampton was
misrcprosentod at Staunton: 'It is not essen
tal to the truth of the report of what General
Wade Hampton said at Staunton, that it should
receive his Endorsement What ho was re-
ported as having said he did say, and said it
deliberately. We heard it with our own ears
and cannot be mistaken. The New York
Herald and General Hampton would both con.
suit prudence and self-respect by dropping tho
matter. The further IL Is discussed tho worse
IL will appear for General Hampton, if he does
deny it.
THE shrewd, intelligent and reliable New
York correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Ledger takes a rather searching view of tho
democratic situation in New York, and the
presentation of tho case Is such as to afford
very little comfort to that party. The in
felicities of the democratic dual organizations
are pictured with fidelity. John Kelly is
already ION his ear" because tho Irving Hall
democrats have concluded not to call state
convention to nominate q candidate for Judge
on the bench of the court of appeals. Tam.
many has already called such convention and
Kelly is desirous of another opportunity for a
recognition and compromise. 1t is evident
! that the Tidenites are not seeking alliances
just at present. This stirs Kelly up from his
very depths, and leads his organ, tho Express
to put forth the following eye-opener as a
persuader or for intimidation:
"If Tammany and anti-Tammany do not
find some means OF coming together very soon,
one or the other will have to depend upon tho
republicans Of this city to help it to elect its
local ticket. Then deals will be in order

alderman care whether Hancock is elected or

state is likely to be very close at the best, and
