If the Bourbon leaders think they can
deceive the people by such such fume and
froth as Lee and Daniel got off last Satur-
day they are very much mistaken If they
could hear the curses both loud and deep,
OF the common people heaped upon Bour-
bon pretense and duplicity, they would
feel that the day of judgment is not far
off. The manufactured enthusiasm, at
fected for the purpose of deception. not
only Of those who were grotesquely en-
gagged in it but of the rank and file. is hay
ing quite different effect from what was
hoped and intended. The people have been
deceived and duped so often by this same
class of leaders that they have become IA
niliar with their tactics and fully awak-
ened TO the pretense and false assumption
to which they resort to mislead and be-
guile the masses. Let all who are opposed
to ring rule and despotism buckle on their
armor and firmly and couTageously go into
the fight and such Waterloo to the Ring
faction in Augusta county will be realized
as will astound the fuss and feather bri-
gade. 81

Gen. Fitz Lee, in one of his speeches, is
reported to have said that during the war,
Jno S. Wise had taken his fathers horse,
leaving the General without an animal to
ride at critical time, and that Gen. Wise
was very wroth with his son-saying that
he was always out of place, was born out
of place, land he never expected to find him
in place. DR.. Richard A. Wise, brother of
John S., publishes card in which he says
that he is the son who took the horse and
explains the circumstances connected with
it. and utterly refutes the story as to Jno.

Nothing pleases the Democratic leaders
SO much as device to draw attention from
the record of the Democratic party The
campaign of Gen. FitZ. Lee is designed
for that purpose, and consequently extra
ordinary efforts are being made, not only
by Lee himself, but the managers of his
canvass to cause as much fuss and excite
ment as possible oyer his appearance, at
appointed times and places. If they .can
get up Juror over plumes and bugle calls
and thus delude the people, they will serve
goodpurpose for the party that dares not
go before the public upon it's record. But
Che people are not so easily dece lived. They
have something else in view besides .'fuss
and feathers" They are looking now to
material interests-to the public debt, the
tax bill, the public schools, and fair cleo
ton. This concerns them more tn an the
glamour ofsgilt buttons and epallettes.
They concede to Gen. Lee all that is due
him as gallant soldier and courteous
gentleman, but they have no idea of hing
ing the result OF this contest upon his
martial bearing. There are interests more
practical and important to consider and
determine. The party he represents is
not sound on these interests. Past history
shows that it cannot be trusted with the
settlement OF the debt complication, with
the public schools and with fair and i'm
partial ballot, or that comprehensive lib
eralism which recognizes the right of eve
ny citizen to his opinions and the privilege
OF expressing them when and how he NAV
please, without interference, intimidation
or coercion. These questions cannot be
gnored and will not be. They come directly
home to the every day life relations of the
masses, and rise above all irrelevant sug-
gestions or appeals designed to inaame
passion and cloud and confuse the reason.

A number of visitors have left the
Springs since last week, the limit of their
stay allowed by business having expired.
There is still left pleasant company some
of whom will remain Outing this and a
part of next month. September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months of the
year to be in the mountains. Not only is
the scenery more picturesque and attrac-
tive at this season of the year than any
other, but the system is in better condi-
ton to be benefited by the mineral waters
and invigorating atmosphere. Yet it is
the time when business men must make
their arrangements for the fall and winter
trade, and children must be entered for
school, and because Of this many who
would otherwise be glad to prolong their
stay, are compelled to return to their
homes. Three of the young lady guests
here, will enter Mrs. Stuart's school in
Stanton: Misses Jennie Cottroux and
Edith Hall, of New Orleans, land Ellen Gui-
gon, of Richmond-bright, lovely girls,
who will no doubt reflect credit on the
Institute as well as themselves.
Among those still remaining at the
Servings are Mrs. Behan and family and
her niece, Miss Behan, Mrs. Hall and
family. Mrs Cottroux and family, Mrs.

in the dining room here, was loaded down
with rare collection of articles, in the
centre Of which was huge cake, and all
spanned by an arch composed of mountain
flowers and evergreens, tastefully wrought
with the inscription Many happy re-
turns, connecting the pillars. The ar
rangement was unique, variegated and
attractive. and was devised by the ladies
in honor of the 5lst birthday of Geo.
Adams, Esq, of Staunton, now one of
the guests at Stribling. By concert the
| ladies had all gathered into the room in
advance of Mr.. Adams arrival, and when
he witnessed the bevy of bright, joyous
faces and the numerous birthday gifts
| to testify the esteem in which he
is held, surprise and qualification were
plainly manifested, with some little
touch of confusion. 1t was a pleasant
episode and enjoyed by all the visitors.
AT night, of Sunday, the table was laden
with fruits and other light edibles, with
the large cake in the centre, and cham
payne and lemonade brought in as the
| liquid essentials. The guests were seated
in the dining room, and each partOok
of the feast commemorative of the event
which had occasioned the pleasant diver
sion from the ordinary routine of Springs
life. On Tuesday Mr.. Adams left for
Staunton. His departure was the occasion
of the manifestation of the esteem of the
whole attendance here. The ladies went
in advance of the carriage to the limit of
the enclosure and after bidding adieu,
returned in mourning procession, with
affected sobs, the tears presumed to
have been hidden beneath a profusion of
linen.
Messrs. Carter and Hahn, of Shenandoah,
the latter brother of the Republican
candidate for the Legislature in that coun-
ty, passed here few days ago, en- route to
purchase cattle. They returned without
accomplishing their object. They report
the cattle men as disposed to hold their
stock for better prices, only few large
lots having been sold. The grass is good,
notwithstanding the dry weather and the
stockmen hopeful for an advance in prices.
A good many sheep have Teen purchased
by traders, at low figures, compared with
other years. The contagion of ''hard
times'' extends to the mountains, but the
condition is not desperate enough to in
duce graziers to sacrifice their stock.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Com

versely upon the application for pension

prisoner of war was for the purpose Of
escaping to the Federal lines at favor

Commissioner says:
ITO the proposition that enlistment
in the rebel service was not voluntary
act cannot give assent, While . e,S
enlistment in the enemy's service prac-
tically illustrated the claimants shrewd-
ness. it certainly does not vouch his
patriotism. A soldier is called upon
TO face death in many forms, to be
shot on the field. to be starved in
captivity, and in other ways to
exhibit his willingness to sacrifice
his life for his country. can
see no justification, however, for his en-
hstment under the enemy's standard,
and giving them, if only for a limited
tine, aid and comfort. lfitwere allow
able for captured soldiers to join the
enemy fcf the purpose on escaping hard
ships and priyations of prion-liie, the
principle would be established that
prisoner Of war would become simply
recruit for the enemy. In law, Q
mans intentions and motives are
to be judged BY his overt acts,
and not by his subsequent explanations
of these acts. Such being the case, and
in view Of the provisions of the statute,
cannot hold otherwise than that the
soldier in this case did render voluntary
aid and comfort to the late rebellion
against the authority of the United
States. The claim will therefore be
rejected, and in this and all similar
cases Congress alone can give relief.n

NEW YORK. May 27.--The State Of
Georgia some few years ago repudIated
eight million Of its bonds. Recently
Georgia issued s3,500,000 Of bonds
known as new fives." +. Wolf &
Co. wish to place the bonds in New
York, but the holders of the repu-
dated bonds object. They think
Georgia should redeem the repu-
dated bonds before being per-
mitted to place any new bonds on
the New York market. Several years
ago Bank-Superiutendent Hepburn is
sued an order iorbdding the savings
banks from buying State or railroad
bonds. The officials Of Georgia, repre-
sented by committee. are seeking to
have this order repealed. This after
noon Deputy Acknowledgement Will
liam A. Post had a meeting with some
Of the holders Of the repudiated bonds
and the representatives Of the new
bonds. Wolff X Co.. who are seeking
to place the bonds in New York, were
also represented. Henry Clews stated
that his firm hadnever been the financial
agents for the State Of Georgia in New
York. The Fourth National Bank acted
in that capacity. and does at the present
time. While Governor Bullock was
in office Clews & Co. acted as bankers
and brokers for the State Of Georgia
and negotiated its bonds. Pending the
sale of the bonds they loaned large
sum Of money to the state, holding the
bonds as collateral. When the State
repudiated its bonds they were left in
the lurch. with many others.
Governor Bullock corroborated
Clews's statement as regarded the
Fourth National Bank being the finau-
cial agent of the State and the negO-
tiation of the repudiated bonds OF
ClewS ( Co.
On the Goth of June the Ge0Fgians
will state their side of the case. BY
procuring a repeal Of Superintendent
Hepbun's order the Georgians expect
to be able to place their bonds with
the savings banks.
