Paris Letter.
Paris, France, June 10Th. 1880.

The remains of the late Governor
of Paris were to-day conveyed to
their last resting place with all pos.
sible pomp and state. General Ay
mard was personally much liked, and
the manner of his death secured for
him the respect even of those who
had never seen him in life. AL
though suffering from an incurable
disease, he remained at his post to
the very last. The very day of his
death he worked as usual at his desk
from nine till eleven o'clock in the
morning. This punctual perform
ance of his habitual duties was cited
Ill the afternoon papers as a proof
that his illness had been exaggerat.
ed. But indeed his state of mind
could not be worse, for at seven O.
clock in the evening he died. The
official position Of the late General
entitled him to the honors Of State
funeral in the Invalides, distinc-
ton to which, under ordinary cir.
cumstances, only Marshals of France
can lay claim. The ceremony is the
most imposing that can we'll be inl-
agined, and familiar as it is to the
residents Of Paris, it never fails to
impress the spectators with new
emotion. Every thing is ordered in
such a way as to lead up to a striking
dramatic climax. On arriving to-
day infront of the venerable build.
ing which has sheltered so many
generations of Frenchmen whohave
bled tor their country, | found the
wide square that extends to the Seine
occupied by some eight thousand
troops Of all arms, the Generals in
command and superior officers being
grouped together opposite the en-
trance to the invalides. Among the
Frenchmen present I noticed Mar.
shall Mcmahon, for whom as he
came late room was made among the
ministers; the Duke d. Aumale, Gen.
eral Gallifet, looking wondrously;
like his fierce portrait in the Salon:
NJ. Leon Say, at the head Of depus
tation from the Senate, number of
judges in their black and scarlet robe,
with many deputies and Municipal
Councillors. Punctually at twelve
the drums outside, beat, and the
clergy walked up the aisle to receive
the coffin, which was duly deposited
on the catofalque. Then the most
impressive Of all services began
organs, the choir, and the grand mi
litary band, a full chorus, solo singers
and stringed instruments, all being
employed to enchance the effect Of
the requiem that is called g La Messe
des Marechaux.'' When the hoist
was elevated one could hear the
muffled drums without announcing
the ceremony that was being enact
ed within, and as the last notes Of the
impressive valediction were played
the coffin was placed on the splen-
did car that had been waiting at the
door. Followed by an aid .de.camp
bearing the Generals decorations

After prating for years about
the dangers of military government
the Democratic party has stultified
itself by nominating a Major Gen.
eral for President. Gen. Hancock
is one of the dangerous soldiers whom
the present Democratic Congress
forbade by statute to 60 near the
polls On election day, because their
presence there even for the purpose
of preserving the peace, would be
dangerous to the liberties of the
people. Does Democracy mean
nothing but hypocrisy?

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. G., June Goth, 1880.

a member OF the Cabinet said last
night that the Democratic ticket
probably will not poll the full Dem
ocratic vote in the North, and can
not secure any Republican or indie
pendent votes. ''It has great many
weaknesses and those weaknesses
will become more apparent as the
campaign proceeds. Hancock is a
soldier, he is not statesman, he
has no knowledge Of affairs; he is
soldier indeed whose political record
consists of pronounciamentos which
were practically in subordination.
He always toadied to the Democrats
IL the South, and wrote letters pro-
testing against the orders he was
appointed to execute This is the
whole subject in a nutshell. Han
cock was splendid General, and
did much brave work for the Union
and the Republican party, and for
which the people thank and have
made MN dear to them, as a soldier
Gen. Hancock is beloved by all, but
as a Presidential candidate, backed
as he is by the party he fought to
subdue, he might as we'll be a Jeff
Davis, as to hope for strength in the
North outside of his party limits.
In nominating Hancock, the Dem
ocrats have thrown aside all issues
and platforms Of former years, ig.
nored long years-of toll and deyo-
ton to their party by it's leaders,
and now behind the loyal record of
a Union General, this God.forsakcn
party of disloyalty and inconsistcn.
cy, vainly hope to WOO and win the
soldier vote of the North It is
too absurd to talk Of. Democracy
must have forgotten, when it rushed
so enthusiastically to Hancock,
upon whose blue uniform and loyal
record they expected victory, that
General Garfield is also a soldier,
and whose record if it be not as long
makes up in brilliancy all that Han
cocks is in length; and to whose
fame as soldier, is added a higher
and nobler record as statesman
whose fame was earned ata time in
our history when it tried men souls
to sit in Congress and devise ways
and means to feed an immense army
from an almost empty treasury.
Hancock may be a good man, a
good soldier; But Garfield is as good
a soldier. a better scholar and
statesman. Though leading Repub-
llcans here believe Garfield will be
elected, they do not believe it can
be done without work, and when |
say work, [ don't mean a chip hip
hurrah' campaigne, but solid sub.
stancial missionary work. Get the
names of all doubtful voters in
your town and see that they have
some good Republican paper sent
them by your county or State Com
organize in your community
and seek to draw the young men
who have never voted into them.
Attend all the meetings held, and
hold meetings independent of the
State or county authorities. Make
work for your party a portion of
days labor, it is needed. The Dem
ocrats will make their last and most
fight this year, and VIC
must fight as desperately to defeat
them. We have everything on our
side, and the only thing is to make
the people aware of it, loyalty, just
ice, equal rights to all men, and
progress are ours and the Democrats
cannot steal them. Though
through Hancock they are trying to
assume loyalty. Howard.

The WASHINGTON Democratic

The Washington Democratic
Committee started out to make a
campaigne publication of General
Garfeld's record, but after weeks
of careful search concluded that
such an investment would not
prove profitable one and the pro-
ject has been abandoned. All the
charges that can be preferred against
Garfield were years ago collected
by that SANDER .mill known as the
New York Sun to defeat him when
a candidate for Congress. Every
charge was promptly met and clear
~ refuted, since which his con-
stituents have had repeated occa.
sion to testify to their confidence
in his integrity by choosing him
as their Representative.

A Garfield ratification meeting was
broken up by Democrats down in
Alabama last week. The audience
Was dispersed, and the Republican
speakers driven from the hall; after
which it was occupied by
democratic orators. Such proceed
ings are not apt to lose forMr. Garfield
any votes in the South, and are sure
to make votes for him in the North.
