THE Bloody Shirt"

Under the above caption the Boston
Globe makes the following home-thrust:
1t has been waved quite extensively in
Ohio the last three OF four days, and it
ought to impress upon the minds of Messrs.
John Sherman, George F. Hoar, and even
upon Mr.. James G. Blaine, that it must be
taken out of the canvass in the presidential
election of the present year. It should be
washed and s'laid up in lavender fer it
will subserve no useful purpose to their
party hereafter. The riot in Danville, Va,
which a congressional committee is now
investigating, was nothiog to be compared
to that which has just occurred in Cinein-
natl; and all the other disturbances in the
Southern States during recent years, where
for a time there was prevalence of mob
violence, do not furnish such display of
disregard for law and such an exhibition of
innate .cusedness" on the part Of the pop
ulace as the reports of niob-law violence in
Cincinnati preseat. Taking the facts as
furnished by all the reports from special
correspondents and by the Associated Press,
il dnes not appear that anywhere in the
South, even under the kuklux regime,
which years ago was happily abolished,
that there has been such a reign of terror
as has prevailed in Cincinnati during the
past three days. Human nature is much
the same all the wotld over, and occasion
ally Satan gets the upperhand; but it is un-
reasonable to form an opinion of the aver
age state of society from events in single
county or in single State by one outbreak
of mob violence, and pass indiscrimiuate
condemnation upon whole communities.
The lesson of the hour seems to be that it
would be well for the congressional investi-
gators of the Danville outrage before they
make up their report to rake cognizance of
the recent "lnpleasantness" in Cincinnati,
and conclude to obey the Scriptural injunc-
ton, 'First take out the beam that is in
thine own eye and then take out the mote
which is in thy brothers eye.' In this
connection it is a fact to be remembered
that the leader of the mob which attacked
the Cincinnati Jail was stalwart negro,
whose life was forfeited to his law breaking
zeal.

The demand for farms in the Shenandoah
Valley is constantly increasing. We can
remember when there were scores of farms
for sale and few purchasers. Now the state
of affairs is reversed There is fine demand
for property and not many for sale. Men
who have tried the West have become tired
of it's hardships, it's billiards, and it's ex-
tremely cold weather For home, attrac-
tive on account of its temperate climate,
free from the extremes of the West and
the cyclones and heat of the South, as well
as an account of its productive soil, adapted
to the cultivation of the cereals and fruit,
anS.its facilities for raising improved stock
of all kinds, the Shenandoah Valley pre-
sents inducements which, We are, not sur
prised to learn, are now attracting the at
tention of the inhabitants of many less IA
vored sections - Woodstock Herald.

When Mahoneism made war on DR.. Ruff

When Mahoneism made war on DR.. Ruff
ner and removed him to make place for
an incompetent and unworthy person, to
take charge of the high trusts and perform
the great duties of public educator, it ex-
hibited its real deformity and hypocrisy,
showed it's corrupt, cloven foot-showed
that it cared nothing for the education, in
tellectual or moral, of the children Of the
black and white-cared nothing for the
character of the education they might get.
1t only wanted the school system as a poll
teal engine to aid them in carrying Virgin
la into the radical party, whittier all the
leaders had bargained to go. This taking
of the educational system out Of the control
Of great intellectual and moral educator,
an enthusiast for the system and an honest
believer in its value, and giving it to coun-
ty political demagogue, was blow to pub
lie education from which it will take years
to recover; and no class will feel the blow
so fully as the colored people. Dr.. Ruffner
sought their welfare. Farr seeks their votes.
The real torch was put to the scl1ool-houses

for Malone, and burning with corrupt dis
regard for the interests of the scholars and
thirst for emolument and pay-ready for a

Va, April Mrs. Eliza F. Richardson, a

and after enticing the victim to her house
the three assaulted her, Jane leading the
attack with bowie-knife, striking the I'M

knife blade passing entirely through her
body. While lying PROSTATE Mrs. Rich

The result is more less known to the readers Of
THE TRIBUNE. The Grand Army passed
RESOLUTIONS IN MISS CAR8oLLs FAVOR,
and referred her case TO the Pension Committee,
with instructions to urge her claims early upon
Congress. In the words of THE TRIBUNE itself,
" Most earnest and sympathetic attention was
given the subject and it was the strongest senti-
ment that the lady, now invalid, should be COM
pensated for her valuable war services"
At the sessions of the Woman's Relief Corps in
Minneapolis, Miss Carrolls work was spoken of
with earnestness by more than member; reso-
buttons were presented by Mrs. Sherwood and
unanimously adopted: voluntary subscription,
amounting to SIS raised and a committee
appointed, to be called Committee on Relief for
Army Workers." which should especially consider
Miss Carrolrs interests
But the latest work for Miss Carroll promises to
be the most successful for her immediate and press
ing needs. This is the

that soon, a member of the Committee on Relief
for Army Workers, she can give reports of the re-
suits of this call Will not the different Post Com
manders and Corps Presidents, by an earnest refer
ence to the facts in Miss CAROLS and to the
strong desire that those feel who know fully of the
neglect she suffers to see her honored and aided
awaken in rsSarious organizations an enthu-
siasm to respond to this call, that the weekly
records OF contributions shall testify to the true
probation of patriotic service on the part of the
