SHERMAN ON THE REBELS"

In his late speech at Mt. Gilead, Ohio,
Senator John Sherman, chairman of the
Senate committee on the Danville "massa.
Gre" said:
Some Of the very men who boastfully
threatened to break up the Union, and with
the oath of office in support Of the Constitu.
ton fresh upon their lips, conspired and
eonfedcrated to overthrow il, waged war
against it, and were the cause of the loss of
half million of lives and thousands of mil
lions of treasure, have been placed in high
office again, in the very seats of pow
er which they abandoned with scorn and
defiance. Two members of the Confederate
Congress and one man who sympathized
with them are at the head of the great de-
rartments of the Government. | saw the
Union flag at half mast floating over the
Interior Department in sign of honor of
mourning for the death of Jacob Thompson,
whom we regarded as defaulter and a con-
spirator. This country is now represented
abroad by men who within twenty-five
years were in arms to overthrow it, and the
Government power in the executive branch
of the Government is in sympathy with the
ideas Of and selects the chief officers of the
Government from, men who were in war
| against it, This strange turn in events has
hut one example in history, and that was
the restoration of Charles H.. after the bril-
liant but brief protectorate of Cromwell, and
| like that restoration, is reproach to the
civilization Of the age. In the South it may
be said that no known Union man has been
appointed to Office. The offices are filled
from the rebel ranks; no man who acqui
esces in the results Of the war, who honora-
bly, demands fair ballot and fair count
can be appointed to Office in the South. The
rebels are in as absolute mastery in the
South as they would have been if the Con-
icderacy had succeeded. The line drawn
between the two parties is now rs dis
tnct as it was during the war, but we

IMpRovEMENTs.-The most striking evil
dence of progressive development in Viz
ginia may be found along the lines of its
railroads in the increase Of population and
business at the various railroad stations,
Such stations as Catetts, Bealton, Mitch
ellis, Brandy and Rappabannock, along the
Virginia Midland, in Culpeper and Fauquier
counties, were few years ago little cross
road groceries and postotlices. Now they
are all thrifty villages, rapidly growing into
towns. One finds at these stations churches,
ino stores, society halls and assembly rooms,
with the citizens congregating on their
streets as in the large towns.
Rappabannock station, q short distance
from the Rappahannock river, is enjoying
very prosperous era. A handsome iron
bridge has just been completed at Wheatly's
mill, short distance down the river, while
another fine iron bridge just at the station
will be open next week. There is a Meth
odist church already finished, while the
Baptist and Episcopal congregations are
each erecting q neat house of worship, to be
completed at an early day. A depot, with
comfortable waiting rooms for passengers,
has been recently built A local dramatic
club, whose members display considerable
histrionic ability, give popular entertain
ments now and then in the town hall. Fine
black bass are caught in large numbers
short distance from the station.-(0r. BALI.

A MINISTER'S DowNFALL.-A dispatcl

A MINISTER'S DOWNFALL.-A dispatch
from Cincinnati says Rev. DR.. J. G.. Arm
strong, late Of Richmond, Va, has disgraced
HIMSELF Cincinnati by visiting houses of
unsayory SORT aud swigging beer. He did
not leave his room at the hotel until IL
o'clock yesterday morning, and was in a
meudlin condition all day. During the
morning former prominent citizen of Rich.
mond, who was member Of DR.. Arm
sIrons's congregation there, called to see
his former pastor. The Doctor refused to
recognize the gentleman, though they had
been warm friends, and he left convinced of
the fall Of q wonderful man. DR.. Armstrong
evidently does not appreciate the situation
in which he is placed. Toward evening he
had sobercd up somewhat, and at 9 o'clock
took the train for Knoxville, Tenn. DR..
Armstrong was for years rector OF the Mon
umental Episcopal Church. Richmond, and
was 4 graceful and eloquent orator, and
large congregations listened to him.

ATTEMPT TO SHOOT HER TRADUCER.-

ATTEMPT TO SHOOT HER TRADUCER.-
The attempt of Miss Sadie A. Westby to
shoot John E. Beck, jr., on last Friday
evening, in the neighborhood Of Leavel's
shop, was attended, I'VE are informed, with
a somewhat novel and unusual feature.
The young lady appeared upon the scene
on horseback, and after much persuasion
induced the intended victim to leave the
house and accompany her to the main road.
Once there she disInounted, and lifting
her skirts drew from the pocket of pair
of mems pants which she wore, the weapon
she iniendedt to use. 1t is supposed that
having decided to play the part of man,
she deemed it best to provide herself with
that portion of his apparel which might be
concealed and which answered the purpose
of eGectually concealing the deadly pistol.

Our neighbors along the Manassas Branch
are complaining that their mail schedules
are worse than they have ever been since
the war Letters from Alexandria, Wash
ington and Baltimore, together with the
daily papers of those cities that should reach
their destination in Upper Fauquier within
two to six hours are not usually received in
less than thirty-six and oftener in forty
eight hours after mailing. The schedule
connections with the county seat-Warren-
ton-are worse still. Stations from IL to
10 miles distant across tho country can not
be reached short CT "a hours and oftentimes
before Two days. Cannot the Virginia Mid
lard do something To facilitate the mails on
the Manassas road?
