Lord Molseler on Gen. Lee.

And lastly, let me glance at Gen. Lee.
Lees strategy when he fought in defense
of the southern capital, and threatened
and finally struck at that of the United
States, marks him as one of the greatest
captains of this or of any other age. No
man has ever fought an up hill and a
losing game with greater firmness, or
ever displayed a higher order Of true
military genius than he did when in
command of the Confederate army. The
knowledge of his profession displayed by
Gen. Mcclellan was considerable, and his
strategic conceptions were admirable, but
he lacked one attribute as 4 general,
without which no man can ever succeed
in war-he was never able to estimate
with any accuracy the numbers opposed
to him. 1t was the presence in Lee of
that intuitive genius which Mcclellan
lacked, which again and again gave him
victory, even when he was altogether
outmatched in numbers. Lord Wolseley
in Fortnightly Review. t.o A3t

The quiet and peaceful turning
over of the powers of government
and official position and patronage
from one political party to another,
as witnessed last week, is Of such
deep significance that few people stop
to think what it all means. Taking
all the Kingdoms of the world aud
examining the history of their ruling
powers very few changes OF govern
ment will be found by peaceful
means,-military forces, revolution,
assassination, &C., ended one reign
and began another. Few Irish
Kings died natural deaths. The
English, French, and Russian rulers
died mostly violent deaths by in
trigue, secret assassination or public
execution. Craftsmanship entered
very little into the strength of for
eign rulers, but their weakness was
due to bad morals, ambitious aud

followers, strife and jealousy of lay
and religious elements, aud to great

ing women. Civilization and intel
ligence under a government of the
people have changed all this, aud
made it possible for able and aspir-
ing and ambitious men to take the
reigns of government at the hands
OF the people and surrender them
again to others without IA murmur.

SATURDAY, MARCH 18TH, 1889.
wHArlELsE COULD BE EXPECTED
THE WEST VIRGINIA SUPREME
COURT DECIDES AGAINST
GEN, GOFF.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, March IL
In the Supreme Court of Appeals
today decision was handed down
dismisslng the petition from Gen.
Golf. the Republican gubernatoral
claimant, and denying the writ of
mandamus asked for by him a week
ago. This decision was to have
been expected under the circum
stances, and no one is surprised at
the result, least of all Gen. Golf. The
friends of Wilson are jubilant, and
point out that he now has absolute
control of the entire situation, since
he has only to neglect to call the
Legislature together in extra session
to consider the contest of Golf and
Fleming to stave the whole matter
off for two years, when another cleo
ton for members OF the legislature
will take place. This, Of course, he
will not do, should Judge Fleming
be in position to establish his claim.
But, it is asserted, should Gen. Golf
get the best of Fleming before the
legislative committee will never have
a chance TO get in a report.

Gen. Golf is counted out. His
tory will tell how, and why, and By
whom. He was as fairly elected as
any OF the Democratic ticket. They
hold their Offices, and somebody else,
not entitled, takes the seat to which
the people elected him By a majority
of their votes. He had friends and
supporters enough to resist he I'M
lawful means which deprives him of
his rights, but he has shown his
good citizenship by doing all he could
honorably do to gaiu his own, and
for the rest he trusts to the people.
A small part of the partisan pro-
gramme remains yet to be carried
out. If the Committee and the Leg
islature will do their part of the work
their chance will be given them, but
if there is any danger that they
might tight the wrong, they will
never meet. A new Legislature will
come in after two years that will re
spect the Constitution and the will
of the people. Until then the parti-
sans will hold fast to the Offices and
all there is in them for themselves
and their party. That was all they
were after from the first. Hope they
may be satisfied and ENJOY their ILL.,
gotten gains.

Deceived by Our Memory

eff my memory serves me- is favor
lite formula with many persons, and there
are few who have not, at one time or an
other, been the victims of treacherous
memory. One would think that having
been deceived many times we would at
last learn to mistrust this faculty some
what, or, at all events, be cautious in
accepting its revelations without ques-
ton. But right here there comes in an
other puzzle. No matter how grossly
memory deceived us yesterday, or last
week, today we are not deceived. Our
recollection of the thing that happened is
SO and so; it cannot be otherwise, for we
saw it or heard it. We remember it per-
fectly, and contradiction is useless. We
know it. And yet we were quite as pos
tive before, and turned out to be de-
ceived. Thus memory is the most plaus-
sible of sirens, and no matter how much
or how often she has lied to us on for
mer occasions she makes us believe her
now.-Chicaeo Herald .s-..
