GENERAL GRANT, few days before he
died, said: II have witnessed since my
sickness Just what wished to see ever since
the war, harmony and good feeling between
the sections" In a speech delivered in
Congress, President Garfield said: THE
man who attempts to get Up political ex-
element in this country on the old sectional
issues will find himself without party and
without support" But Senators Sherman
and Hoar, and their pal, Senator Malone,
say there is no good feeling between the
sections, and that political excitement must
be raised from the old sectional issues, and
are doing their "lerel best" to make their
words coed. Fortunately for the country,
their following is exceedingly small.

THE SOUTH is spending ten million a year
on public schools. Nearly all that sum is
raised by taxes on the property of white
people; but half of it is spent for the in
struction of colored children. And yet
those malignant haters of the South, Sena-
tors Sherman, Hoar and Malone, say the
negroes in the South are denied their rights,
aud are bulldozed and oppressed by the
white people among whom they live!

TIE LONG trains of mounted men who
escort General Lee from one town to another
on his triumphal electioneering tour through
the mountains and valley of Virginia prove
very attractive to the people of the State,
and the fences all along the route are lined
with delighted women and children-all
the men being in the procession. The
"darkies" are as much diverted at the shows
as anybody else; and nobody is at all alarm
ed thereat except the Richmond Whig and
the Washington Republican, who are jabber-
ing and chattering like two scared monkeys.
