CHICAGO, August 10.-Three wagons full
of people returning from q picnic, came

drunken man in one of the wagons arose
and snatched the lines from the driver. The

thrown out. The driver was instantly kill.
ed, falling under one Of the horses, while a

GENERAL MALONE very foolishly says
the fact that General Lee was defeated when
a candidate for the Legislature in his own
county proves conc!usively that he is not
popular throughout the State. For the
same reason it might be said, though entire
ly unnecessary, that General Malone is not
popular in Virginia, as when he Was q
democrat his ticket was 50 often defeated in
his own city that he went SD far "a to petit
ton the Legislature to disfranchise the
negro majority there. Aud it is well-known
that it was because his candidate for Gov.
ernor, Mr.. Wise, was defeated 80 badly in
Richmond, when a candidate. that he flop
ped as the only means in sight by which he
cOuld be elected

One OF THE most ridiculous features OF
the present political campaign in Virginia is
the abuse General Malone showers upon
the men who having left the democratic
party on the debt question, have returned
to it now that that question has been settled
by the courts. TRAITORS" and ''apostates"
are the mildest terms he applies TO the men
referred to. And yet the General is the
man who having been elected to tho U. S.
Senate by democratic votes, by his ore sin
gle vote gave the control Of that body 10 the
republicans, his zine too" dared any man
TO stand before him ard say he was not
democrat, and OF all the leaders of his party
there is not one who vas lot an ultra
and proscriptive democrat n few shortyears
ago.

SOME REPUBLICANS evidently belong to
that class of people who, having eyes and
ears, neither see nor hear. Their morning
organ in Washington, for instance. says:
"For honesty and efficiency the public ser
vice of the United States, as it stood on the
4th of March last, had no parallel in any
country" And this, in the face of the
notorious fact that since the All of March,
when the public service came under the
supervision of the democrats, there has been
o constant succession of discoveries which
prove that all branches Of that service had
become permeated with fraud aud corrup
ton during the republican regime.

just the reverse, and that the country will
not have its fill of Mr.. Kelley until it shall
have offset the insult Austria has put
upon 80 large and respectable class of its
citizens as the race to which his wife be-
longs, by giving him higher place than
that from which he will be recalled.

NOTHING MARRIED the solemn pomp and
funeral pageautly that mark ed the burial OF
General Grant last Saturday. Nature We'd
with art to make the obss quies more impos-
ing than any ever before witnessed III this
country. The General went to his grave
accom- auied with greater demonstrations
of honor and respect than were ever mani
fe ,ted for any of his countrymcn who have
preceded him "over the tide that knoweth no
recrossiDc when once our feet have touched
the farther shore" II WAS grand funer-
al, but it's effect was grander; for when the
innumerable throng saw Johnston and
Buckner walking arm in arm with Sherman
and Sheridan among the pail bearers, and
Lee and Gordon riding side by side with
Hancock and Sickles 10 the mounted escort,
thew knew that at last the ''cruel war was
oyer.n and that the words of the man whose
silent dust could no. be provoked by honor
nor his dull cold ears be soothed by lattery,
"Let US have peace" had evoked
sweet, responsive thrill in the hearts of his
again thoroughly reunited countrymen.
General Grant thus became one of the few
lnen whose go,a is not inferred with their
bones.
