"A. II. B., Co. A, 18th Ky. Rg, L. S. Vols, Nav

THERE Is no doubt about the fact that
when men who have heretofore been demo-
Gratis, like Fowler, Blair, Wise and other
Mahoneites, boldly avow themselves repub-
Leans, and are treated as gingerly as they
are by some of the democratic press of the
State, the Virginia democracy is in great
danger. Fortunately, however, any possible
democratic losses in Virginia will be more
than offset by democratic gains in Ohio and
Pennsylvania.

THE MEDTCO-LEGAL SOCIETY of New
York, at their meeting last Wednesday
night, discussed the proposition that com
mission Of eminent scientists should be ap-
pointed to consider the question of Guitcau's
insanity. They should have concluded their
discussion by recommending the adoption
OF the proposition, for the majority of the
people who know anything about minds
diseased believe that Guitcau is as crazy as
any inmate of the insane asylum at Slaun-
ton. The Government committed one muir
der when it hanged Mrs. Snrratt for the
assassination OF President Lincoln. Let it
not add to the infany it thereby achieved
by hanging poor, vain lunatic for the
assassination Of President Garfield.

y MAJORITY of the democrats in the L.

sion because they believed it was the mere
device of the protcctionists to continue the
existing burdensome tariff for two years be-
fore any real attempt could be made at its
abatement. They should now vote unan-
mously against the confirmation of the Pres
ldent's nominees for the membership of that
commission, for the excellent reason that
while every one Of those nominees is the
