Sectional Animosities.

The Boston Herald attempts to make
point against the people Of the southern
States. 1t says
"Bygones are not bygones to an abso-
lutely obliterating degree down in Georgia.
Senator Bacon was handicapped in his cam
vass for the Democratic nomination for
Governor by the fact that he had accepted
n judicial position under Governor Bull
lock, and now Major Mcdaniel, the nomi-
nee OF the party, has found it necessary to
deny the infamous rumor' that he was
ever connected with the Union League,
in name or in sympathy About how
much longer will it be that man is dis
qualified for holding Office at the South by
the fact that he was loyal to the Union. or
accepted the results of the war in a manly
fashion without reserve? The southern
people are given to complaining that some
OF the northern Stalwarts do not remember
that the war is over. Do not their Bour-
hons need TO be admonished in the same
direction"
The Union League" was necessarily o
very different organization in the South
from what it was in the North. The one
was war-league. The other came after the
war. The southern people have since the
war closed voted for GREELEY, for HAN
COCK, and for many other candidates whom
they knew as men OF unflinching loyalty
to the Union. But ii is one thing TO ash
them TO vote for men OF known loyalt,
whilst the war was going on, and quit
another thing to ask them to vote for mel
who after war had ended joined so-calel
"Union Leagues" for purely selfish an,
personal reasons. II the Herald Will like

" IN DEATH THEY WERE NOT DIVIDED "A
HUSBAND AND WIFE DIE SUDDENLY OF
HEART-DIsEAsE.
lCorresponoencc of the Richmond Dispateh.l
APRIL q, 1888.
An old gentleman named William
Thompson aud his wife came here from
Canada some fifteen months ago in search
OF more equahle climate. Both were
afflicted with heart-disease. They first
rented property on the Ridge, where they
lived for some months, and their quiet, in
offensive ways secured them the respect OF
the neighbors. subsequently they pur-
chased from Mir. Wheeler the property
known as the "DAlionse place." on the
northwest suburbs 81 the town, where they
lived in their own way, seemingly well
and contented. Latterly, however, Mrs.
Thompson had been confined to her bed.
On Monday evening about 6 O'Clock, as
the husband was sitting by the bed
of his sick wife, he leaned suddenly
forward, and in a few minutes,
before any one could be summoned,
he had passed away, in the presence OF his
wife. Under the excitement the wife grew
rapidly worse. and all efforts to relieve her
were futile, and she died this morning
about o'clock. Thus the two gentle old
people, who had been SO long together in
life, are lying together In death, and will
be buried together. They have no relations
or near friends in this vicinity. A son in
Canada was notified, but no response upto
this time has been received. Kind neigh
bors did all that could be done for these
strangers in strange land that circum-
stances permitted. Mr.. Thompson seemed
TO be man Of means, and not in the
slightest dependent on any one. He had
busted himself in improving his property
and was genial and kind to all with whom
he came in contact. DUP.
