Never mind" said my father-in-

kind old face, ''let them squabtle over

His worn face grew radiant, and

A Washington friend said to me
yesterday: "Do you see any men of
ability in public life now 7"

ate life, but in obscure positions of
private life. Said /: SIN going

My friend said at certainly is
happening that our political system
is giving US meaner material all the
time. Look at the United States
Senators who have come forward in
the past few years. Run over the
names, of men gravely considered as
eligible for the presidency, and COM

Said I: "Do you think the Amer
lean people no longer produce grave,
strong men in their society :"
"No. We produce men Of the
same fibre as in othertimes, but they
can not get into politics, because ma

fired into his brain. A more peculiar
case is now a resident of this county.
George Sinsel, of Newfane. was PR
vate in the Eighth New York Heavy
artillery. At the charge on the rebel
works at Petersburg on the 18th day
of June, 1864, a mimic ball struck him
in the head, breaking the skull. The
ball divided, part going on the outside
and part going under the skull. For
three days he Law ON the field and was
reported dead. After this time he
wandered into a hospital and was
treated, the physicians taking out a
number Of boues from his head. He
YVES then sent to IT. Mary's hospital,
Rochester. While there he was under
the care of DR.. Moore, and on the 23d
day of October following DR.. Bradley,
the assistant surgeon, took from
the unhealed wound piece of rebel
lead, which had lain there over four
months. Now Mr.. Sinsei is as we'll.
apparently. as ever, though he has a
depression in his skull large enough to
hide walnut, and over which there
is no skull bone. This case was a
wonder to the surgeons at the time il
occurred, and a greater wonder to the
man himself that he should be alive.

Answered by His own Words.

1t will be remembered that recently Judge
Holt vindicated himself in these columns
from certain calumnies of Jacob Thompson,
and in doing SO presented extracts from the
testimony of Richard Montgomery, given on
the trial of the assassins of President Lin
coin, which extracts strongly implicated Mr..
Thompson as having favored, while operating
as rcbel commissioner in Canada, such
cities by the secret torch of rebel agents.
After reading these extracts, in an inter
view" which followed, Mr.. Thompson declared
that he had not heard of this testimony before,
and proceeded to speak of Montgomery, whom
no had known in Canada, in most contemptu-
Gus terms, as person whom he would evil
IDENTIFY have the public regard as entitled to
no sort of credit or consideration. He is
clearly much worried in his mind because
better and more reliable evidence has not been
produced in support of tho very grave charges
preferred against him. In view of the char
acter of these charges, he undoubtedly has a
Just claim to have brought before the
public, whose Judgment is invoked, the very
best proof which the nature of the case makes
possible. Now, although Montgomery as a
witness has not been at all discredted, nor
his statements in any way disproved,' yet
such has been our desire to satisfy Mr..
Thompson's demand for more convincing tes-
timony that we have sought access to tho
rebel archives in possession of tho govern
ment, and have obtained therefrom a certified
copy of letter written by Mr.. Thompson
himself from Toronto, Canada, on the
third of December, 1864, to j.
p. Benjamin, secretary of state,
at Richmond, and received by him, as ap-
of February, 1865. Tho genuineness of
the letter is unquostionable, and tho ac-
curacy of the copy given is verified by the
official certificate of tho custodian of the
original. Tho letter is of great length, but
wo have not folt justified in abridgng
| it, because of its historic value, and
because We would not, in our extreme
desire to be just to Mr.. Thompson,
willingly expose ourselves to tho posi-
bic imputation of having omitted single
word favorable to his reputation or interests.
The passages of the letter which affect the
subject TO be consdored-Mr Thompson in
his role Of incendiary-are very brief, and
they will be found singularly free from
tho possibility of being misunderstood,
and not only to corroborate, but to
completely sustain what Montgomery de-
posed to before tho military commission,
They show that Mr., Thompson was in Canada
with very largo sums Of money, which he
was actively disbursing over vast
field, north and west, for the destrue'
tion by fire of tho steamboats,, the
homes, and cities of the country which had
so honorod him. So burning was his zeal in
this career that even Greek fre-generally

The Virginia bourbons may as we'll mako
up their minds to hard struggle if they hopo
for the electoral vote of that state noxt year.
They arc not dealing with faint hearted peo-
pie. They stole march on the liberals in
tho campaign just closed. They will not bo
able to do it again. Forewarncd is forearmed.
Tho men who havo followed Malone were
among tho bravest of tho confederate soldiers
who fought in the war precipitatod by South
Carolina against the will of Virginia. They
are not going to bc bulliod out of their birth
right rs sovercigns, nor deprived of tho support
OF any legal voters who agree with them.
They did not dream that a panic was to bo
created by cold blooded murders, committed
on the ovo of tho election, and heraldod to
tho Valley and tho Southwest as "a war of
races" when IL was too late to explain to the
honest conservative read justers there that the
pretended war" was only prcmoditatod mas
sacro, engineered solely to entrap them into
bourbon support. They supposed that the
period of kuklux and white line outragcs
had passed away, and that Virginians were
incapable of rcsorting to such style of war
fare against Virginians. They ~ ought Ma
hone had deserved as well of the Old
Dominion as had Barbour, and that his
person at least would be sacred from
assault by " bourbon mob if for
no other reason than the scars it bears
in pro9f'6 Of his vaor and his devotion to the
cause in which Virginia was engaged But
since force is appealed to the lawless may
find that they are not stronger than the law,
and when the time comes for deciding at tho
ballot-box in Virginia how her electoral vote
shall be cast, and who shall occupy her ten
seats in the United States house of repre-
sontatives, it will DO strange if every citizen
Of the United States and of Virginia is not
made to feel that he may safely and freely
cast his vote us ho peases, with full assur-
anco that it will be counted as he casts it.
Not only will this be so, but the white men
who allowed themselves to be carried off their
feet last Tuesday by tho blood -curdling
tales of war of races will be indignant
at the audacious trick played upon them,
and will rebuko its authors by voting
against negro massacres as an clement in
political campaigning Tho situation was
well summed up in tho terso language of our
| Richmond correspondent, when after talk
with Gen. Malone on tho day following the
election, ho telographod The REPUBLICAN /:

friendly, which is not wholly unnatural, as
the sympathetic correspondent makes no
prctenso that it was accidental. JIo simply
assures us that cit is but justice to
say that tho shooting had nothing to
do with politics nor with the election"
This being the case it is difficult to see what
objection the negroes could have had to being
shot; and yet the coincidence between tho
shooting and the election day appears to have
made so unparalleled an impression upon
them that "tho chief of police and mayor
went among the colored people, assuring them
of protection and justice from the authori-
ties" We arc very sorry for the quiet young
man who was so overcome with enjoyment,
and trust that tho mutilated victims of his
hilarity will be consdoratc of his feeling.

THE authors of the Danville circular, who
ever they are, should not be too modest in
claiming the credit of the splendid victory of
the Virginia bourbons which was produced
by the massacre instigated by that brilliant
device. We were shown copy of the cir

abroad, and the gentleman who exhibited it
told us he obtained it from one who was on

accepted as the most potent of instrumental.
ties in such diabolical work-was not hot
enough for him. Hence he rails against it
Us unworthy of tho confidence which had
been placed in il; says that owing to its in
efficiency New York had escaped the conila-
grafton to which it had been doomed, and, in
the rage of his disappointment de-
olares that IL shall never be
employed again under his supervision.
Tho heart of tho country cannot but be
deeply moved at the modification and an
guish experienced by him on learning that
the Greek fire, in the hands of his trusted
emissaries, had failed to reduce that great
city to heap of smoldering ruins. We
congratulate ourselves on being able to oflcr
him this documentary'history of his crimes,
at once so frank and so conclusive, aud an
ticipate with confidence that its entire trust
worthiness will silence his complaints of
insufficient proofs for tho future.
While this letter does not bear directly on
tho question Of Mr.. Thompson's interest in
and sympathy with the plot for the assassina-
tion of tho president, it affords q strong light
to guide the public to correct conclusion as
to this charge. 10 relicrcs Monigomc,y's testi-
mony on his point Of all inproJajiliiy. For it
is our decided conviction that man, so
stepped in demoniac wickedncss as to be
willing, in tho interests of treason against
his country, to devote one of its great cities,
with its nhabitSuts--irrespoctiv of sex, age,
or condition-to the flames, kindled at night
by band of hiroling inccndiaries, would no
more hesitate to encourage the assassination
of the president of tho United States than
he would hesitate to crush q mosquito on the
walls of his chamber.
We have thus recognized Mr.. Thompson's
claim for moro reliable evidence, and we have
treated that claim in u manner SO con-
Pscientious that in aworld less ungratoful than
this We should expect TO receive his thanks.
We now take our leave of him, begging the
public to bear witness that it is his own hand
not ours, which has branded TRAITOR and
INcENDIARY intellectually upon his brow.

We assure our morning contemporary that
Malone does not "pass out of political eX-
stence." He will lead the anti-bourbon
forces in Virginia next year, with good pros
poets for success. And beside, the latest re-
turns show that he will represent Virginia
in the senate at least until March 4, 1897,
while his colleague, Capt. Riddlcberger, will
sit in that body until March A, 1889 Then
Cameron will continue governor of Virginia
for more than two years, and we have six
Virginia congressman who have not yet
taken their seats. Will the new legislature
turn them all out? 1t will only be the Dan
