JERE has blown his horn in the Star to the
tune of $40. Carry the news to Meridian.
THE Philadelphia Times plaintively remarks:
After ALL the republicans seem to have car
ried Vermont" Yes, she did really "out-Ver-
mont Vermont this time"
THE Richmond State bitterly opposes any
compromise with the readjusters. Aud the
Whig says there shall be no compromise unless
an unconditional surrender is made by the
funders. And so 1t goes
THE Virginia funders and readjusters came
to blows at Rocky Mount ON Monday last
Stovall, who Is a read djuster, got his head badly
pummellod and Cabell, M. c., was in the same
condition. Blood has been spilled and all fra
termination seems impossible.
SECRETARY EvARTs has accepted an invita-
tion from the merchants and other distfn'
guished men of New York to deliver an ad'
dress in that city on the questions Of the cam
paign, and has designated the last week in tho
present month as tho time most convenient
for him for that purpose
The democratic organ now calls General
Weaver an assistant republican and foul
mouthod demagogue and an unconscionable

federal election laws.
THE Portland Press says that at republican,
meeting at Buxton, Me-, few nights since,

within hearing of his daughter, who is one OF

live to see the yankee soldiers bones at Arling-
ton taken up and thrown into the Potomac"
THE New York World has a savage attack
| upon Bradley Barlow, member Of congress from
the third district Of Vermont, ironically call
ing him n representative "of what the moral
journals of Vermont are pleased to call the
| pure politics which pcrvadc the pure republic
can valleys Of tho Green mountains" As Mr..
Barlow was elected by the grconbackers over
n republican, receiving four-ffths Of the demo.
cratic votes of the district, and as he'dd not
vote for Garfield for speaker, the World is n
little off in its facts, us usual. But that don't
| uulbCI WHEN lllS Nv tW 10 uliIpuos Luz fSl-
mont returns are TO blame, we suppose for
its present attack.
