IHE tone Of the Southern editorials in re-

The Tribune is mistaken. It was not
Andrew johnson WHO wanted the gen
eTous terms accorded by Grant to Lee
and his soldiers when the latter surren-
cered at ApponattOx, violated and to
have Lee and his chiefs arrested. That
dirty project was the conception of Ed
WIN NJ. Stanton, the then Secretary of
War, and Grant, who was then absent
from Washington, being informed of
StantOn's purpose, sent him a dfspatch
IN which he informed him very plainly
that be had paroled Lee and his men on
certain conditions, and that as long as
they complied with them any arrest or
interference by Stanton would be at his
peril, in as much as ne Grant did not
propose to submit to anything of the
kind. Grant covered himself with i'm
mortal honor by the generous terms he
granted to Lee at the surrender. Lee
always appreciated Grants kindness to
to him and his soldiers and often spoke
of it, and the Southern people have
never forgotten it.

His three physicians stood a little back
from the family group. The devoted
Harrison stood dejectedly by the door,
and Henry, the nurse, sat in a distant
corner, his labors over. The little
grandchildren had not been called and
were fast asleep il their beds.

clock. Not leaf stirred on the trees

ALTHOUGH the late Republican Leg
islatuTe refused to pass the necessary
legislation prohibiting railroad discrim-
ination, the question, like Banquo's
ghost, will not down, - but forced it
self again to the surface at the recent
Republican State Convention, at which
NJ. S. Quay, who represents corporate
power aud rapseity, was nominated for
State Treasurer. At that convention
State Senator Emery, who is an oil pro-
ducer and has suffered with others en-
gagged in the same business from railroad
discrimination in transporting oil to the
eastern markets, offered the following
resolution
ResolUed, That the Republicans of Penn.
syiyanla demand the prompt aud complete
enforcement OF the Constitutional provisions
prohibiting railroad discrimination.
This resolution, when it was read,
was referred to the committee on reso-
lutlors consisting of fifty, being one
from each Senatorial district, and was
warmly discussed by several members
OF the committee, Mr.. Emery takin g
the lead in favor of its adoption. He
told the committee that the Republican
party could no longer dodge the ques.
tion-that the wisdom of the Constitu.
tional Convention had embodied an an.
ti-discrimination clause in the Constitu.
ton, and that the question must be met
and not cOwardly evaded. Mapee. the
Plttsburg boss, vas a member of the
committee, and, in the interest Of rail-
road robbery and oppression. opposed II.
Inc resolution was voted down in tbs
committee only eleren members hav
ing the courage to vote in the affirma-
tive. An anti-discrimination resolu-
tlon found no resting place in the plat
form adopted by the convention and the
Republican party has thus placed itsel
distinctly on record on this most impor
tant snbject. 1t was eminently proper
that a convention which ignored tn,
| plain provisions of the Constitution
/ against the discrimination praetised By
| the railroads of the State. by which th,
people are annually swindled out of mil
| lions of dollars, should nominate Quay
who has always been the unscrupulou
advocate Of monopoly and Legislative
Joobery at Harrisburg. The question o
| freight discrimination, which has beef
practically lost sight of by the Legisla
tiure since the adoption of the new
Constitution, is destined to play an i'm
Portant part in the future politics of tn
state. and in the end to teach the mo
nopolists that, after all. the people o
Pennsylvania have some rights whicl
they may be compelled to respect.

JOSEPH X. BOGERT, editor of the
Wilkesbarre Union Leader, was ap-
pointed postmaster at that city by the
President last week. The removal Of Mr.
Bogert's Republican predecessor before
the expiration of his commission. is
said to be the first instance OF the kind
IN Pennsylvania. Judging, however,
from the large number Of removals, or
Suspensions, - as they are called. made
last week in several other States by Mr..
Cleveland, it is safe to infer, or at least
to hope, that the fate of the suspended
postmaster at Wilkesbarre will soon be
the common lot of every other Repub-
lican postmaster in the State whose ap-
poin.ment is vested in the President

AT a banquet recently given in Lon

of Queen Victoria alluded to her as
"our Queen as we'll as yours" 1t was
often charged that James Russell Low
