THE report that Evangelist Moody once
compared the Confederate Generals Lee and
Jackson to the devil, calls out the following
imprisoned communication to a local paper
from a citizen of Richmond, Va, where the
revivalist has begun series Of meetings:
"Shall we, as followers Of these chieftains,
countenance a man who, even by comparison,
has endeavored to bring q stain upon their no.
BILE namesY Does not the eye glance at the
old rusty rife and the right hand go to it's
sword side When any imputation is made re-
~iecting in the slightest upon the names of our
leadersa If it were not so, a blush of shame
would tinge the face of every follower when
he thought of the lofty genius and military
skill displayed when they so often drove the
invader from our soil and made the fields red
with their blood"
The 'new South" of which we hear SO
much, seems to be fashioned very much after
the old pattern, if the foregoing may be taken
as an indication. If Mr.. Moody should see fit
to be all things to all men, and make a few
observations about the Satanic Lincoln" to
his Richmond congregations, he may be able
to gather in many Reconstructed souls. He
has started in the right direction by an am
PIE and copious apology to the admirers of Lee
and jackson.

a correspondent, says:

predecessor, who, with the approval of the

with me. contemplate going a step further
than the late Lord Mayor did and abandon
the practice of giving what are called state
luncheons' at the Mansion House on SUNDAYS.
I am not impelled by any considerations of

Mayor, who is admittedly one of the hardest
worked mon in London, should be deprived of

A War of County Clerks.

MooREFrELD, W. Va. Jan. 5-The adherents
of the rival candidates for the office Of county
clerk are under arms and the town in great
alarm. James Wilson defeated VIM. Loeb at
the October election, but Loeb, claiming the
Constitution went into effect at once, insisted
that he was voted for at the November election.
and he claims the Office. The mayor and sheriff
have prevented bloodshed, but armed men were
still in battle array last night, with expectation
of an outbreak.
Clerk Wilson, who was badly beaten by Loebs
son, lies in a comatose condition. Nearly all the
women and children have left town. Wilson'S
friends say if he dies they will hang Loeb.

party is to be fairly held responsible, he
should be one who, it is understood, proposes
from the first to protest against the ignor
ing Of their oaths of Office by the other mem
bers Of the board, and to protest in such a
way that his protest will be known
and heard by the people who are
taxed to support the police force.
If any other kind of a Republican than
this is to be put upon the board, we want it
done after Governor Porter retires from office,
so that the Republican party will have no
measure of responsibility for him or his con-
duct. There is a feeling developed over the
conduct of the police board that will not sub
side until there is a disposition manifested
o n the part of the commissioners to
observe their oath of Office, and to
fairly and properly enforce the laws in the
interests of public morals and social order.
If the Democratic commissioners will not do
this, there will be an upheaval of the popular
will that will set them aside, and when they
are thrust out of Office they will go with the
brand of disgrace upon them. Can Mr.. Muir
ply, who is one of our most prominent and
respected citizens, afford to face such a GER

In a letter to Governor Porter Mr.. Failey
itan Board of Police Commissioners, to which
he was elected by the Democratic State off
GERS. This is well. AS the journal said yester-
day, the opposition to Mr.. Failey being the
Republican member of the board does not
spring from personal considerations. He is a
reputable citizen and a business man of
high character. He might or might
not make an ideal commissioner. The obiec-
ton to him grows out Of the manner Of his
selection, and because he was the choice of
those whose sole and only desire seems to be
to pervert the police authority to the
behests of the whisky power. The Repub-
lican member of the board, if he is to
be the representative of the Republican
party, should take his Office by a different ten
ure. He should COM into the place in such
manner that he will be able, without any qualm
or question, to sharply and strongly antago-
nize the policy Of Messrs. FRENCH and
Murphy, and to so impress himself upon the
administration of the board as to render less
easy. at least, the prostitution of the police
authority of the city. Mr.. Failey might have
been the very man to have done this; but it is
scarcely probable that anyone would be who
should take Office by virtue Of the voluntary
votes of those who find Mr.. Frenzel their best
representative. fla Republican member of the
board is to be elected, for whom the Republican

A LITTLE foreign item says that .the
princely family of Staremberg has a bond for

to be the most valuable paper of a similar
character in Europe" Indiana has, or had, a
paper Of "similar character" worth just twice
as much. At one time and another the State
had borrowed of the sinking fund-then still
in operation as a loan fund on mortgage Sc
curity-several large sums of money, and
given it's bonds for them, in preference to
going into the market or applying to Eastern
capitalists. Most of the loans, we think,
were ordered by the Legislature to be made
from the sinking fund, SO that the State
officers had no choice. The last loan, as we'll
as the Journals reminiscent can remember,
was that made by Governor Willard, in 1857,
to reopen the benevolent institutions with,
after he had needlessly and almost ~ruinously
closed them on the pretext of failing appro-
priations, his idea being to make capital
against the Republicans, whom he held re-
sponsible for that failure. At that time the
State massed all its debts to the sinking fund
into one debt, which was represented by a
single 5 per cent. bond Of ST., 500, 900. In
January, 1865, the Journals informant was
appointed by Governor Morton one of the
examiners of the. sinking fund, and this bond
was then among it's securities. 1t probably
