The Republicans aided by the Green
hackers and Hon. John Paul, and by the
decisions of Speaker Keifer, managed to
unseat Dibble, Of South Carolina, and seat
Mackey. The point made by the Demo-
Gratis in their resistance was not the legali-
ty of Dibble's election, but that his offer
to produce evidence that good portion OF
Mackey' testimony in the case was forged,
should be received and considered by the
Committee on Elections before oustinr
him. The Committee refused to permit
that evidence to be received. Twice dur
ing the struggle etween the Democratic
minority and She Republican majority
over this case Speaker Keifer actually re-
fused to entertain an appeal by a Demo-
cratic member from his decision, some
thing unheard of in any legislation. other
than that of the Readjuster legislature in
Virginia last winter, that we have any
knowledge of. The Republican majority
is paving the way for some parliamentary
decisions by the Democratic majority in
the next House Of Representatives which
WilIna1Tnrlse them. There is no ghost
more dangerous to raise nor more difficult
telay titan that of a precedent made to
M the occasion.

We have not yet seen copy of the Con-
gressional Record containing Hon. John
Paul's speech in Congress, and cannot say
what line of argument gave rise to his boast
of representing district that contains six
teen thousand white voters. We hope he
did not attempt to count the white voters
named, as endorsers of his alliance with
the Republicans; on the contrary he should
have stated that in white district he
could only be elected by the aid of thou
sands of negro votes, and even then only
got threugh by seven hundred majority.

MEMOIRS COMING WEATHER.-"The
general outlook for the weather of sum-
mer season in southern and south western
sections is improving, owing TO the con-
tlnuance of very windy weather in the
northern and western sections of Canada
and the United States. But a ''windy
spring makes severe autumn - there
fore the outlook for the Autumn Of 1882,
is increasing in severity. Ny theory of
weather relationships is working just
now in telling manner all over the
Northern Hemisphere, and feel much
greater confidence in predicting the Pc
riods of the more marked disturbances
Hence, herewith reiterate my previous
statements respecting "a very cold and
stormy Autumn" aud early setting in of
extreme severity, with heavy snow-fails,
this reaching to remote Southern points.
We are likely to experience one Of the
coolest periods in a long term of years du-
ring the early part Of the winter of 1882
83. but the cold will come in lump, and
the latter half Of the winter is likely to
be mild and open, with Al advanced
spring"

FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE .. 1882.

The disaffection in the Coalition party
Of Virginia is too strong to permit of it's
holding State Convention to nominate .
candidate for Congressman -at-larye. The
WHO OF Saturday announces editorially
that sit is not advisable ct this juncture
to assemble State Convention for the
nomination of q Congressman at-large."
and that the Readjuster State Committee
s'will probably name and recommend the
candidate" So then, Malone has at last
recognized his danger, and fights shy of
assembling ''my people," His fears have
good foundation. Even an attempt to
choose delegates to such Convention
would in certain quarters of the state be
the signal for open revolt against the boss.
and the insurgents would fock to the
standard OF Massey in such numbers as
have not been calculated on even by the
most careful observers Of the weak
ening of the Coalition. The attempt in the
districts to nominate administration
candidates for Congress will arouse vio-
lent opposition among the Democratic
Readjusters, but it must be made. But tho
attempt to hold State Convention il
something that can be avoided. and that
Gen. Malone is wise enough to do.
By this plan of nominating by tho Re-
adiuster State COMMITTEE Gen. Malone
secures his own man for the nomination,
his own time for making it, and, (if the
Democratic State Committee is unwise
enough to call State Convention) fine
opportunity to match a Democratic nomi-
nee. That he may accomplish the first
two points is clear, but only the folly of
Democrats can aid him in the third.
Since writing this we have read the five
column address Of the Coalition members
of the legislature to the people. 1t con-
firms the supposition that the perplexed
boss is afraid to face convention IN
which Democratic Readjusters may appear
in their seats. The address is long wall
oyer the way the Big Four brought the
bosses to grief, melted thereto by the willy
Massey. The paragraph which is impor-
tant and the one that will excite the in
dignation of Democratic Readjusters the
most, is the following peremptory order
from the boss that they shall support
Chester A. Arthur's men for Congress-,
ssLet there be no uncertain sound In the
conduct OF the campaign upon which We
are about to enter. It should be proclaim
ed in every formal declaration of the poll
cy of our party that the Readiusters of
Virginia cordially reciprocate the friend
ship OF President Arthur's administration
for themselves, and heartily endorse an
administration which gives no comfort or
recognition to sectionalism, and whose ev-
cry performance is pledge Of peace to the
ceuntry.'
1t is noticeable fact, which is not like
lY to have been the result of accident, that
besides the names of the "Big Four"
which of course were not expected, the
names Of Delegates Kelley, W. J. Dicker-
son, Vaughan, Young. Board, Revercomb
and Sayer are not to be found among the
Readjuster members of the legislature
signing the address.

blowing over the graves of America g
dead this June, sweeter than any year
that has gone before it. True, here and
there we catch the faint of political ora
tion and blind hatred, but not often. The
breeze is not, as in other days, laden with
the signs Of the people, but with the glad
songs of hearts proud that We ever pos
sessed such men as lie under the growing
turf. They are all, every man of them,
the children of America. AS in West
minister Abbey lie side by side those who
ia years past fought for and against the
crown, so in the heart Of this nation, her
children who long since wore the gray and
the blue, lie close together. AS individu-
ais, we mourn him who died under tine
bars or him who fell under tho stars, but
the nation misses and mourns them all. -
If our government would to-day declare
truly national decoration day for all who
fell in those dreadful four years, and en-
act law taking every soldiers grave into
the Nations keeping, it would not have
outrun the sofrened feelings OF all the
American people. And if the external re-
membrance of those who fell in the civil
war is to be kept up, something like this
will have to be done. New generations
spring up, and old memories, however dear,
pass away with the old ones. Memorials
of great deeds are transferred to monu-
mental brass or historic page, and living
flowers of remembrance fade and cease to
be carried to the homes of the dead. Men
are short lived; Governments trail centu-
ries behind them. If those centuIie les are
are to be starred with memorial days, the
American Government alone can see to it
that the active remembrance Of all Its
children who showed constancy to con-
viction, and bravery unsurpassed on the
battle fields Of the world is kept alive.
Coming home to our own memorial day,
this June morning, it needs no reminder
to our people. Invisible flowers will be
borne to the cemetery to-day which have
been growing silently in loving hearts for
long years, watered by tears, nourished by
love, and every petal bright with the hues
of hope that looks forward to reunion
in fair land of never fading flowers. The
visible flowers OF the field may cover the
turf of the graves. bat these invisible ones
will be garlanded in spirit over the forms
of those who lie beneath as Memory calls
them up and follows them gayly marching
out of the town twenty years ago. waving
their last farewell. Twenty years agol
"Yet. aye, as fall the month, the day,
Wakes sad-eyed Memory
Adown the sunlit streets gaze
And dream again see
The glittering ranks, the tossing plumss,
The banners streaming high.
And slender form with lifted head
Waving the last good bye"
