La morale publique 0utragee.

lamentable dams Ibistoire dc Ia

Pauvre St-Paul
Les theories de NJ. Rice sur Ia
morale publique, telles qu'6nonc6es
dams son disceurs du 2 JUN, ne
sont rien moins que blasph6matoi-
res ct outrageantes au dernier de-
gre pour le sentiment chr6tien. Lac
nouveau marie de la vile voisine
6met Topinion gull est inutile ct
absurde de chercher q extirper
limmoralit6 du sein de la soci6t6,
autrement que par un Gordon de
police; quecevice social a toujours
exist6, quill existera toujours ct
qu'on ne lie fera disparaftre que du
moment Oh l'on jugera possible ct
sage de refaire la nature humane.
Ii sen suit done que la societ6 ma
que faire de chercher q le r6pri-
mer ct quill fault, de n6cessite, lui
donner libre cours. A ce comp
tie, la soci6t6 ma plus q s'occu-
per de pr6venir le crime de meur-
tire, mails tout supplement de SEM

mission de son acte, dams le cas- on

dres quelconques tombant sous Ia
juridiction de la police:-et ainsi
de suite pour tous les crimes Oh
peut Sc laisser entrainer l'homme
domino par les passions inh6rentes
d notre pauvre nature humane.
.C'est Ia une doctrine monstrueuse,
ct c'est endosser une terrible res
ponsabilit6 devant la soci6t6, que
de vouloir la METRE en- pratique,
ainsi que le fait le MARIE de ST
Paul.

been treated BY the Republicans -
silver was treated BY them, both green
hacks and bark notes would long ere
this have been 1t heavy discount.
Money Is abundant in New York and
other money centres. What, then, is
the troublcy The trouble seems 10 be
that though there are millions Of dol
lars Of silver and grecnbacks and bank
notes lying idle, the Government has
made gold the sole measure Of values,
and thus by peculiar sort Of contrac-
ton psralyzed business. In . word, it
is as II gold were the only currency.
To charge the Democrats with having
had any--even the slightest-agency in
producing the present hard times ispre-
posterous. The Democrats have no
power to change the financial policy oil
tie Government. The Senate blocks
the wsy. II reminds one Of the fable
Of the wolf and the lamb-thst is to
say. the charge is made for apurpose
and without reference to its truth.
Will il be said that Mr.. CLEVELAND
approves the Republican policy so far
as bimetallism is concerned? If he
does, he does not represent the Demo
cratic party so far as that question is
concerned. The vote in the House OF
Representatives in March last shows
where the Democratic party stands.

Read Up.

The Boston Herald, commenting on
the Virginia Democratic platform,
says:
The position taken by the Virginia
Democrats that they must get posses
sion of the Offices as condition oil
carrying the State is most weak and
contemplate one. 1t involves the adj
mission that the party exists chiefly to
obtain Offices for its leaders, and that
without them it is powerless ; in other
words, that it is held together, as was
long ago charged. by 'the cohesive
power Of public plunder.'"
We arc afraid that the usually
very clear spectacles Of our Boston
contemporary were q little blurred
when it read the civil-service plank
in the Virginia Democratic plat
form. Get a piece of chamois-skin,
friend, and rub them up. The Vir-
ginia Democrats have taken no position
in respect of the Offices that is not
recognized by both common sense and
the Constitution. If the Herald will
examine the Constitution it will find
that that instrument requires all offices
to be filled by the President, the
courts, or the heads of the depart
mpnts

10 us, when be got his promotion, that the
First regiment OF Virginia cavalry was
bricadier-general factory. Nobody
said ne, scouId command you boys for
two months without becoming general
or corpse He was restlessly active
and yigilant to degree rarely equalled.
He seemed to rejoice in q fight for its
own sake, and I think he and Stuart
did as much as anybody else to help
Mcclellan in his difficult task Of re-
storing the steadiness and morale Of the
Army Of the Potomac.
III have one very vivid recollection
Of Fitz Lee. He led party Of US one
day on scouting expedition, and We
attacked strong picket post within
sight of Federal camp. No-sooner
had we ridden through the picket
than body Of Federal cavalry

The greatest harmony prevailed in
the Virginia Democratic Convention on
Wednesday and everything was donein q
straightforward, business-like manner.
Their platform is sensible one, and
with such man as General Fitzhugh
Lee as nominee for Governor there Is
good prospects for success in the cam
paign. Fitzhugh Lee is nephew Of
General R. Z. Lee. He was an efficient
soldier during the war, and has since
been commander-in-chief Of the Vir-
ginia militia. He is man Of pleasant
address, TN excellent speaker, and has
fine abilities.
The campaign will now become lively,
aud when Lee rushes out and falls upon
John S. Wise and his fellow-Mahone-
ties watch out for the fur to fly.
