In Memoriam.

The columns Of the Dispatch and State
Of yesterday gave the principal incidents
OF the late Colonel ALBEIT PITT BENEFITS
life. To these we have little to add. Yet we
would be recreant to the noblest ties that
bind men together, and false to the dictates
Of a sincere admiration for the heart and
the intellect OF the man, II we did not ex-
ercise the sad privilege OF laying our tri-
butte on
sThe lone couch OF hiscvcrlasting Sleep
And 10 do this Is only TO tell what we
know OF hlm--onIy 10 give our estimate
Of him, formed through association as
friend and fellow-laborer in journal
ism. II has been intimated that Col
onel BENNETT was a seli-educated man.
SeIf-cultiyated would be the better
term, for in him the distinction was
strikingly excmpIifed. None who did not
know IL from his own lips would ever
have surmised that his had not been the
advantages OF the higher institutions OF
learning. His information was remarkable
no less for its soidty than for its variety.
He had learned Spanish in the halls OF the
MoSTEzUMAs, French in the creole society
OF the Crescent City, and his recreation IN
early manhood was to ground himself in
the Humanitics. His graceful mind was
storehouse OF literary gems culled from
standard authors, his pen vehicle 10
convey inspirations drawn from the beau.
tlful in literature, art, and nature.
With the general public Colonel BEN
NETT's reputation rests largely on bis satire
and wit, as they shone in the column OF
"Brevitles f." in the old Enquirer and the
especial Paragraphs " in the State. With
those who knew him closely it rests upon
the surer foundation OF his solid editorial
work. There were few subjects on which
he was not prepared to write at a moments
notice. end the impressions he made. I'M
known, in this department OF journalism,
constitute the most appropriate monument
TO his memory. II nc had fault as an edi-
tor in authority, it was fault OF the heart,
not OF the head Ii was the outgrowth OF the
principle OF his life to "deal kindly"
which obtained in his business as well as
his private relations, and prefer those un-
der and about him rather than himself.
He was true friend, a safe counsellor for
the young in his profession, just and
honorable man, brave soldier. He has
paid the last Of his singularly touching
tributes to those OF his school that have
gone before, and of whom, as of him, no
more fitting OF Just eulogy can be written
than

Sfr. RASpALL's friends can point TO two
facts in his congressional career which
should endear him to the friends OF civil
liberty everywhere, and more especially 70
the people Of the South.
The first was his resistance TO the passage
OF the civIl-rights bill in the winter OF
1875. On that occasion he led the Demo-
cratic opposition in fight OF for'y-stx
continuous hours, never closing his eyes
nor leaving the House in oil that time.
The Supreme Court has lately endorsed
his course on that occasion.
The second, and more important still,
was the opposition TO the force bill IN
continuous session Of twenty-nine hours.
Here again Mr.. RANDALL led the OPPOSE
ton and defeated that measure. The force
bill. 1t will be remembered, provided that
when unlawful combinations should over
throw or defy the constituted authorities
Of the United States, and the constituted
authorities Of State should unite with or
connive at such combinations, and the
proper trial Of the offenders should become
impracticabIe. then a rebellion might be
declared to exist, and the President OF the
United States might suspend the writ OF
hdbeds corpus.
This outrageous attempt to violate the
Constitution and disregard the principles
of civil liberty was introduced by the noto-
rious b. +. BUTLER, now calling himself
Democrat O, and was intended to break the
solid South and perpetuate the power OF
GRANT and the Republican party.
II that bill had become law Virginia,
instead Of being in the van OF the Demo-
cratic party at the South, would to-day be
PROSTATE at the feet of ARTHUR and Ma
HONE, and Dossism would ride " africa"
roughshod over us all.
II is the defeat OF that bill, the preserya-
ton OF the sacred principle it sought to de-
stroy, that entities Mr.. RANDALL to the
support of every congressman from The
South, and that has gained him an honored
place in history.

MIR. Massey.

The Front Royal Democratic Ne,o Era,
speaking of our article on Mr. BARBOUR,
says:
LET the Democratic press OF Virginia
give Mr.. Massey only the credit he de-
serves. If he has not done more in this
great fight than any other one man in the
State, give him the credit ct least Of do
ing as much as any other man. There
have been many noble captains in this war,
all tried and true. We hope that Virginia
will honor and reward them all. We have
many crest names which we may well be
proud OF, but we honor them as peers and
equals. This war was not waged to de-
throne one boss merely to set up another,
but for the determination OF all the bosses.
The DAYS of hero-worsbip have passed
away, we trust, forever. The people know
and feel their power, and dare maintain
their rights"
All the Democratic papers that have ex-
pressed an opinion on the subject concur in
saying that it was the peoples victory.
What we said OF Mr.. BARBOUR was that he,
as the chairman OF the executive depart
ment Of the Democratic party, had been
selected by the same people who won the
victory as the exponent OF anti-Mahone-
ism-the representative OF the idea OF Ma
HOMES defeat-the hero Of the hour the
one thing indispensable to victorious
party. Mr.. BARBOUR understands all this
as we'll as anybody else. Nobody need be
jealous of him.

1t was Millions ''fierce democratic" or
" democraty" that we alluded to in the
following paragraph, which appeared in
the Dispatch last week:
MANY thousands OF dollars have been
lost by specializing in Virginia bonds. We
do not doubt that many thousands more
will be lost in the same way. We do no:
expect to put an end 10 such speculations.
We only wish purchasers to know that
those who are 'bulling Virginia bonds
may once more be mistaken. II will al
ways prove to be difficult matter to COM
pei State to pay her debt when her legis-
lators are warned by the popular vote that
the fierce democratic are determined
not TO pay"
But the Washington Republican copied
the paragraph and italicized it as above in
order to prove that the Democrats Of Vir-
ginia were determined not TO pay the State
debt. That journal was either guilty OF
wilful misrepresentation, or else it did not
know that Mutton used the word, as we
did in the paragraph quoted, as designa-
ting the people.
