of f. L. Mood, and G. A. Carter's boot
and shoe store, and the adjoining gro
Gerry, were burned to the ground, but
little Of their contents being saved.

The Cbrist,ancy Case.

The Washington Post gives the fol-
lowing statement of the issue between
the Minister and his young wife:
There ale two features Of domestic
infelicitles which Mr.. Christiancy has
thrust upon public attention that de-
mand special notice. The first of these
remarkable phases is that the act or
acts of iDfidelity which Mr.. Christian
cy alleges against his wife are dated
subsequently to his expulsion of his
wife from his house and home. The
second, and not less peculiar feature
of the case, is that the alleged inideI-
ity is sought to be proven by means
that are abhorrent TO every honorable
mind. The lady travelled unprotected
from Washington to Lima, Peru, to
Join her husband, Minister Plenipo-
tentiary aud an ex Senator of the U.
S. She went 10 her husbands home
in Lima, as has been repeatedly allcg-
away by coarse and brutal treatment
to journey back to her friends alone.
Then it was announced that Mr.. Chris
tiancy would apply for divorce, and
the only fair ana easonable inference
application should be based on facts
antedating her expulsion from his
home. To have supposed thst he had
driven his young wife from his home,
and thus cast shame and reproach en-
hcr and that while thus casting her
out he had no charge of iufideiity, that
his acts imputed, would have been
suppOaing Minister and ex-senator
Christiancy vile wretch, whom it
were base fiattery to rank with COM
mon scoundrels. But W hen Mr.. Chris
tiancy's case against his wife was pre-
sented TO the court and the public, and
those who had sympathised with the
husband in his alleged wrongs looked
for his damDing allegations against
her chastity in order to justify his bru-
tality towards tr~. n were amazed
to discover tha, =; "..arged hcr with
no unchaste act antedating her banish-
IN. mt and branding by him. The min
lister and eX Senator came into court
by bis attorneys and asked for di
vorce on the ground of an alleged act
which he said she committed severs
months after he had cast her out and
caused her name to be banded about
among those who delight in scandal.
1t is not cur business or purpose 10
champion the cause Of either party in
this business. We pass no judgments,
but we state a hard fact when we as
sert that according to Mr.. Christian
cy's own showing, he pat his girlish
wife into every danger which he says
was fatal to her marital virtue.

"A Radical Confession.

Says the New York Tribune: "The
administration of President Garfield
is to be an administration for the
whole Republican party" That is
just what we supposed. Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid does not always tell the truth
Even if naturally inclined to do So
which is an unnatural suppOsition-it
10 likely that the relation which he
sustains to Jay Gould would prevent
his ever winning a reputation for un-
varying truthfulness. But we do not
think there is any evidence of men,
dacity in the sentence quoted above.
Gould's man Friday undoubtedly en-
bodied the truth in that sentence. We
are inclined to believe it, because the
fact stated in it is to the credit neither
of Garfield nor the Republican party.
1t is an evidence of the fact that, in
the opinion of the partisan and un-
principled editor of the Tribune, Gar
fields administration is to be wholly
In the interest of the Republican party.
1t is an unblushing and triumphant
con fessiOn of the shameless partisan
ship of the President of whole Re-
publican party" There was a time
when the men who succesaively filled
the office to which Garfield has basn
elected considered the office as bearing
the Same relation TO all parties
in all sections of the country
There was time when tho President
of the United States did not consider
himself as merely the President Of the
party that elected him. Tho constitu-
ton does not recognize any such Office
as the g Presidency of the Republican
party" and yet, according to the con
fession of Reid, that is the Office which
Garfield proposes to fill. InasmuclI ;.s
the principles of his party and the rec
ord OF his party in the past aud its pro-
gramme for the future openly disre-
gard constitutional limits and re-
straints, there Is nothing strange that
its leader should consider himself as
President in a sense not known to the
constitution. This is tho point in
Reid's con fession that is worthy of the
consideration of the people, Atlanta

About the most disreputable fOady-
ism and obsequious flattery of Grant,
the cold man" has yet managed to
extract, was poured forth At his Alba
ny reception by Conkiing's Governor,
Cornell. In this case it took the form
Of an odious comparison between
Grant and George Washington. Said
Cornell, On tho occasion of q Grant
serenade on Tuesday, the 18th:
My fellow citizens, you have come
here tonight to do honor to one who,
moro than Washington, was first in
war, frat in peace, and first in tho
hearts of his countrymen, the illustri-
GUS soldier. stateaman and Citizen"
More than Washington, first in
war, first in peace, and first In the
hearts of his countrymenl
These jobbing and corrupt politi-
clans who surround Grant can't 90
much farther. That is ono consolation.
Now that they have put him on q
higher pinuacle than Washington, they
will probably let up. But the antics
of those nincompoops are q humilla-
ton to every American citizen.-Pitts.

The Truth at Last.

After all the raving of the Radical
papers and politicians about the fraud
uIent character of the Southern census
returns. the fact is being fully estab-
lished that all the vituperation and
abuse they have teen heaping upon
that section of the country were base
ISLANDERS. SO persistent were they in
asserting that the returns had been
stuffed that a new set of officials were
sent down there for the purpose of
hunting out and exposing the alleged
frauds. But after a vain search for
evidence to sustain their charges they
were forced to admit that they were
wholly unwarranted by the facts. In
reference to the census of South Caro-
lima we copy the following from an
exchange:
"Colonel Butterfield and his assist
ants have about completed their re-
count of the population in South Car
oIina, and their final report will he
submitted before many days. The re-
-ult of their Investigation has been a
striking confirmation of the correct
ness of the June count In the local
tiles where the census has been retaken
there is gain of $50 over the June
count, in a total population of about
5000. In speaking of this matter to-
day General Walker said: cannot
imagine that there will be any further
objections to the correctness of the
south Carolina census, Colonel But
terfield and his assistants are all
Northern men and Republicans, and
you may be sure that if the census had
been stuffed they would have found it
out. They went down there with in
structiOns to take an entirely new CEN
sus in the localities where there was
the greatest cause for suspicion.
