exciting the Indignation of Northern
Republicans over alleged outrages upon

foredoomed to be a failure. The two
significant facts cited by the Richmond
Dispatch, that the Mahoneites pOlled
more votes at the late election than ever
before, and that the real intimidation
of negroes is by their own race, together
with the testimony of the better class of

The Pageant In New York.

One Of the most striking incidents of

the last of the British on Manhattan

picturesque and suggestive. II is marred
by no bloody token 1t is the last of the
sword in the establishment of this
colossal republic. Sanctified by the
presence of Washington at the bead of
remnants Of the soldiers Of Valley Forge
and Yorktown, it thrills the patriotic

the ifs of Maine, and from the coast
of the Atlantic to the Pacific. The

Held by the British forces during the

Hill, to the last charge at Yorktown.
Governor Clinton, The first patriot
