A FRANK FOREWARNING.

A bourbon letter from Richmond, Va
says:
The Democrats are discussing the plan o
organizing campaign cavalry all over tn,
state. whose duty IL shall be to ride every.
where and stir up the voters. 1t is expected
that the Virginia duel will be heard ON fro.
quently during the canvass.
The country fully comprehends the
meaning of these ominous words, team.
paign cavalry" They mean now Just
what they have meant in the past.
Their meaning in Virginia this year is
precisely what it has been in numerous
campaigns in South Carolina, Missis.
sippi, and Louisiana.
1t is brutal violence and bloody mur.
der-and the world will so under.
stand it.
This campaign cavalry is TO "ride
everywhere and stir up the voters.''
AS interpreted by experience this
means that it will ride at night to the
cabins Of the colored voters, "stir them
up" call them to the door, fog them,
and occasionally vary the entertainment
by shooting or hanging one of them.
"The Virginia duel will be heard from
frequently during the canvass" Well,
what victims have you selected, and
when is this part of your show to open
The REPUBLICAN invites the thought.
full attention of all good citizens, ire.
spective Of party, TO the fact that the
letter from which the above quotations
are taken opens thus:
Upon the retui Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee from
Gen. Grants funeral the Virginia campaign
will open animatedly. "Yes, SIR" said a we'll
known Democrat, we will begin firing all
along the line en- Monday. We're going to
make 1t warm for somebody"
So Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is billed to re.
turn from the funeral of Gen. Grant
where the north and south met as
brethren, where the soldiers of Grant
and Lee met as brothers at their fathers
grave-to open a campaign on the Miss
iSsippi plan.
1t is well that the Republicans of Vir.
ginia and the county at large are fore.
warned. They nowknow what to expect,
and will not be taken by surprise as they
were at Danville.

IGNORANT AND MALICIOUS.

1t is difficult to decide whether one
should pity the ignorance more than he
should despise the malice shown by the
Paris press in mean, false, brutal COM
ments on Gen. Grant.
On the 9th Of July, four days after
the death of Gen. Grant, the Journal des
DeJdts, in an elaborately prepared arti.
Gle, speaks of him as "a curious comb.
nation ofpreacher and soldier, with the
name of the Lord necessarily on bis lips,
impenetrable in his designs, implacable
in his hatreds, ,skillful in turning the per.
sonal affection of his soldiers and the
passions ofpartisans to the profit of his
ambition, recalls in more than one re-.
gard the terrible Protector who, claiming
to be the instrument of Providence, de :.
stroyed the liberty of his country" and
adds that in his "domineering and abso.
lutte temper, as obstinate as imperious he
had much of the character if he had not
the military genius of Napoleon" The
same paper says, in relation to the cap.
ture of Lees army, that "Grant by
no means found sufficient satisfac.
tion in the defeat and submission
of Gen. Lee; he insisted on the humilia.
tion Of his adversary, and imposed upon
him an unconditional surrender" And
it concludes that "his fame was at the
time of his death much questioned even
in his own country, as if after all he had
not had the marvellous luck to put an
end to one of the most terrible civil
wars Of which history has kept the mem.
ory."
These compounds OF dense stupidity
and ghoulish malignity are quite in har-
mony with the quotations from other
Paris journals which we printed yesler.
day in a letter from the French capital.
But we do not accept these vicious ut.
terances as an expression of the senti.
ments Of the people of France. If the
average Frenchman is not better in.
formed and less contemplate in all re.
spects than the ignoramus who wrote
the Journal deS DebatS article we have
greatly overrated the character of the
French people-the people who stood by
us in the infancy of the republic and
from whom we have accepted the statue
of liberty.

A sPoILs SCHEME DEFEArEp.

The amendment to the civil service
raIess, approved by the President Friday,
heads off scheme to prevent the appii.
cation of the civil sers zee law to the an.
pointment of medical examiners of the
pension office. About twenty of these
examiners are to be appointed under A
recent law. Some time ago the civil
service commission advertised an exam.
ination of applicants for these places
and the examination was duly held. But
IT seems that the commissioner of pen.
sions, or his superior officer, Secretary
Lamar, was determined that the places
should be given if possible to Demo Gratis
without any examination, and so with.
out any notification to the civil ser.
wee commission the matter was re.
ierred to Attorney General Garland,
from whom was obtained an opinion to
the effect that the appointments In cues.
tion were not covered by the civil service
law or rules. At this stage of the pro.
ceedings the commission was informed
OF what had been done, and brought the
matter TO the attention of the President,
and at the same time submitted certain
considerations which were not presented
to the Attorney General by the Interior
Department. The amendment to the
rules brings the appointments referred to
unmistakably within the purview of the
rules and spoils the scheme to parcel
them out as rewards for partisan service.

THE MERRY MAIDEN AND THE TAR.


A few short weeks ago the gallant
canal boat May Qreen, with the captain
and the mate and the midshipmite and
the crew of the noble ship, sailed into
this port with her white sails strung on a
clothes line and Tapping in the morning
breeze. Annie Hall, of Glen Falls, was
cook of the May Queen, and when the
pretty maj iden stepped ashore and bade
an eternal adieu to a life on shipboard
there were few dry eyes on board. She
had been the life and soul of the gallant
tars, and, in the words of Whosthis, the
obituary poet: "Nono knew her but TO
love her; none named her but TO praise. ~
Annie had determined to seek her liy.
ing in Brooklyn, but Providence (not r.
l.) decreed otherwise. In the words OF
another poet, whose name is at present
not ON tap, "she failed to connect" )" and
the result was that she walked the
streets until she was finally taken into
camp by officers of the third precinct on
a charge of vagrancy.
When the gentle maiden was arraipned
before Judge Massey, yesterday, and
just as his honor was about to commit
her to cell, gallant sailor lad stepped
forward, threw his quid of tobacco into
his hat, hitched up his trousers, and said
to his honor:
'"'Shiver my timbers, shipmate, but I'll
spice onto this ship. Belay there an
chuck out your line"
His honor chucked out his line and to.
morrow's papers will probably announce
the TACT thar Martin Spinello, the jolly tar,
and Annie Hall, the gentle maiden, are
shipmates for life.-New York World.
