To The Editor Of TRe Republican:
Judge Samuel Lee arrived in town
yesterday, having come from Washington, where
he was in attendance on the Inauguration Of Presi
dent Garfield. Last evening large eoncourSe Of
Republicans, headed by a brass band serenaded
the Judge at his residence. He appeared, and was
created with deafening applause. In an eloquent
address he commented upon the manly words of
President Garfield, the stalwart character of his
Cabinet, and described the magnificent display on
the attn of March. His account of the friendly
feeling and determination of Northern Repub-
licans to assist US of the South in struggle to
enjoy the rights and privileges of American cid
zens, against the opposition of our Democratic
enemies was received with unbounded enthusiasm.
A striking incident of the evening was the men
ton Of Robert 7. Lincoln as one of the Cabinet,
whose nSme was hailed with long and loud cheers
The new administration has renewed our hope.
We trust that the pobis words Of Ar. Garfield may

Gar and Cesar.

Gar is an abbreviated form of Caesar.
Nineteen hundred years ago sOothsayer cried out
to Julius Cesar: "a Beware the ides of March" The
ides were the 18th, 14th and 18th days of the Ro-
man months. Caesar was assassinated on the ides
of March But that act notOnly failed to free Rome
from emperors, but fixed the Cesar yoke upon the
people for centuries thereafter. What viii the ides
of March do for the Russian Nihi1ists?

RUSSIAN serfdom dates back to 1901,
when, by ukase, the serfs were deprived
of their rights to move at will from mas
ter to master. They were attached to the
soil, which they could not leave without
the consent of their masters; neither had
the latter the power to dispose of serEs
without the land. Even then their con-
dition was somewhat better than that of
the Irish, who practically cannot leave
their native bogs, though these can be
sold from them. On March II, 1861, the
late Gar issued an imperial manifesto
providing for emancipation. The num-
Der of serfs thus liberated was 22,000,000.

State officials of New York in 1873, Sena-
tor Conkling's credentials had not arrived
on the 4th of March, but the Senate un-
hesitatingly recognized the current his
tory of the day, and, acting upon its
knowledge that the Senator had been
elected, unanimously ordered the oath to
be administered to him. If this prece-
dent is followed the Senate will be full
tomorrow, and the work of organization
will proceed. If the forms shall all be in
sisted on, then Friday will be the day.
ALL win agree that the possibilities of
the use of electricity in the economy of hu-
man affairs are singularly promising. AS
a field for scientific inquiry and expert
ment it is peculiar and full of wonderful
possibilities. A congress of electricians
is to be held in Paris on the 10Th of Sep
tember, in which our Nation was invited
to participate by delegates. But the Con-
gress Of failures, which passed out of exist
ence March 4, numbers among its other
sins of omission the passage of any act or
appropriation for the purpose ofrepresen-
tation at this momentous scientific meet
ing. 1t is un derstood that private enter
prise will bridge over the delinquencies
