THIS act of Lamar, as declaration of the
fact that the government has forgotten all the
evil that men did during the war, will be the
most overpowering rebuke that could be adj
ministered to any remains of sectional bitter
ness yet lingering among individuals in the
South.-St Louis Post Dispatch.
It is the same old story over. The North
must get down and eat dirt in order to
'placate1 the South Grant, and Sherman,
and Garfield have been vilifed by Northern
and Southern Democrats, ex-rebels and their
sympathizeYs, within the last ninety days,
and the man who has had the hardihood to
stand up for these great characters has done so
only to encounter shower of blackguardism
and malediction. The South will not
patiently listen to any praise Of loyalty.
But when man like Jacob Thompson-a
character beneath the contempt of respectable
confederates, because Of his deathless infamy-
when such man is criticised, all rebeldom is
in arms, and decrying sectional hate, forget
ting apparently, that the vultures of treason
have but been torn away from their attempt
to lacerate the dying man who was SO magnani-
nous in 1866. Had Jacob Thompson been
allowed to drown in his own infamy without
having nation to mourn his delayed demise,
few would have cared to pollute themselves by
referring to his unsavory memory. For
such men as Lee, and jackson;
and Johnston, the great military leaders
in the rebellion, there can be something like
respect. They were courageous men, and
fought like men for what they believed to be
right. But for such characters as Jacob
Thompson there can never be else than con-
tempt. All the efforts that can be made by
specious pleadings in behalf of national s4rec-
onciliation" cannot save this creature from in
finite infamy. The flag may be lowered over
the Interior Department and the Pension
Office while his remains are being buried, but
history has consigned him to endless dishonor.
His name will be stencil so long as 1t lives
to be recalled

IT was a great battle which was fought by
the British and the Arabs last Sunday. Each
days report increases the number of dead
Arabs, men and women. There seems to be
no doubt that the flower of the English army
can vanquish women who come in their way
but the natural curiosity to know just how
much execution the women did is not graft
fed. There is reason to fear that this curious
omission will not be rectifed in future dis

On MONDAY last o representative OF

FELTON, and viewed the ruins, when the
following conversation took place be-
tween Captain Wiley and himself
Captain Wiley, when the people
come on board tho boat large number
OF them tarry about, the entrance here,
where the explosion occurred. Why
was 1t that more were not wounded, rs
the explosion occurred right where they
tarry and before the boat had time to
get out In the water for fair start ?"
The answer Of Captain Wiley was
Because the sun was very hot and
was shining right down into that part
OF the boat which made the passengers
hurry aft and upon the second deck
except one man onward, and / believe
he YVES the man Spear, who died from
the injuries received from the explo-
sion.''
Captain Wiley will no doubs attest
the truthfulness of this state ment. Why
did Spear llnger below in the hot sun
while every other passenger hurried aft

That Bridge Contract.

While the right policy is no doub'
to advertise for proposals for . lsrg'
contract involving the cost of as muot
money as it is said the proposed repairs
to Third street bridge will cost, still
there are drawbacks that interfere with
the full carrying out Of the principle.
There might have been many bids in
ans wer to published proposals lower
than the price agreed upon with Mr..
Hyde, but they might have been irre-
sponsible bidders, who would not have
made q good Job and would have cAus-
cd great trou ole 10 all concerned and
posi- bly, injury to the bridge. 1t Is
but seldom that the best bidders are
the lowest, and it Is no unusual thing
to reject some Of the lowest bids to ar
rive at real responsible bidder. Everyi
body in this community knows Mr..
Hyde. He has had many importAns
contracts for improvements, both at
home and away from home, and his
reputation Is established as an honest
safe man to hitch to In such contracts

iron work of the bridge, which cost
81, 900.
Considerable objections were raised
we know against Mr.. FsoiRer, mem or
OF the Levy Court for Wilmington
Hundred, at the time giving the con-
tract for the iron work to the Edge
moor Iron Company without compesi-
ton. We do nos say that this was
right, for we opposed 1t at tbs time,
but we refer TO it for the purpose in
part Of showing thas the Every nven-
ing, which is now finding so muct
fault with Mr.. Hickman, for spending a
$4,000 on contrac. without having
asked for sealed proposals., was silenl
when Mr.. Febiger spent over $40, ,00t
for the iron work OF Eleventh stree
bridge.
IL might be advisable to have gene

requiring all work amounting TO over q
certain amount to be advertised and

now, and while 1t is not, we shall con

THE plan proposed by architect Rice
to relieve the high school building o.
the heavy strain upon 1t by the pro-
posed tower, will hardly give satisfao-
tion, though it may be entirely safe.
Had there been no condemnation OF the
other tower, that was to weigh, when
com pleted, one hundred and nineteen
tons, danger would never have been ap-
pretended from the present proposed
tower, that will not weigh, Mr.. Rice
says, more than six tons The objee.
tion TO the Last plan proposed by Mr.
Rice is not gainss the weight OF the
tower, but to lateral stress OF the wind
when blown against 1t, which, it is
contended by some, will s;k the BALD
ing. There may be some real fouuda-
tion for such theory, and of course 1t
should be given due consider alton, but,
rs we have already said, public opinion
has been 80 completely solidied and
carried against the heavy brick and
t8rra-cotta tower hat 1t will be hard to
reconcile 1t to any tower at all now,
however meritorious or free from dan
ger 1t may be. If the walls Of the new
high school are sound and solid there
really should be no danger apprehended
from tower weighing only six tons
and forty-eight feet high. We rather
suspect that there is an inclina alton now
TO 60 to the other extreme, though
Building Inspector Chandler is no. TO
be blamed for extreme waychfulness on
the safe side. The high school building
would look odd or in an unfinished con-

would still be better never to mind
