Ex.Gov. CAMERON, in referencsto the late
Quay Brady compromise, sage:
Il have heard of no compromise. have
known that several officials of the national
administration have compromised their We.
racity, and do know that Cen Mahone,
notwithstanding the socalled agreement,
has rsigiously pursued his old false meth
DDS, SO Judge that the only thing that has
been compromised is the character of some
people for truthfdlness and OF others for fair
dealing, aud that the only way to give etfec-
rive rebnke to suoh proceedings is to refdse
TO vote for result"
The Ex-Governor is shining light among
the Virginia republicans. What ne says
abovs is by no means indicative OF the
unity" and harmony" which the Wash.
inaton Star and the Baltimore american say
exist at present in the republican party OF
Virginia.

AN ASSERTED republican principle is tina

AN ASSERTED republican principle is that
no distinction shall be made between citi'
zsns of this country on account of color.
Yet at West Point negro cadet who failed
to pass the requisite examination last June,
and who, il white, would have then been
dropped, was allowed, because be was black,
until September to make up his deficiencies.
The republican effort to get negroes into
the army as officers has been long and per-
sisteut, but has only been successful In the
case of cbaplans, of whom there are two
now on the rolls. Chaplains don't have to
stand examinations. In all other cases 1t
has failed. But the Reputation OF the prin-
ciple referred TO is not confined to reputli'
GAGS, for, under the last administration, 1t
will be remembered, negroes were appoint
ed to civil Offices, not on account ofsuperior
fitness therefor, but for the avowed reason
that the negro element of the country . pop
ula,ion should be recognized.

The Southern situation was freely expo
tiated upon in Washington yesterday by a
prominent southern republican. Ia his
opinion the administration has made fatal
mistake In its dealings with the republicans
of the South. He emphasized the indorse-
ment of Malone and his elevation to "boss-
ism" By federal boost as most impoltic
move, and upon this mistake he bases his
prophecy of a majority In Virginia for Nc
Kinney, of, at least, twenty thousand, unless
the unexpected hsppens.

that he will be nominated by reclamation.

sensation was created by the report of

surprising fact that Laird was sound man
physically. Every vital organ OF his body
was found to have been In hsalthy condi
ton. He was getting well. and with his
vital organs unimpared it was only ques
ton OF time when he would have been re.
etored to full vigor. This was prevented by
most unhappy circumstances. Eminent
physicians had declared that Laird was not
suffering particularly and that surgical
operation was dangerous and unnecessary,
and yet his death is attributed directly to
the operation performed just few days be-
fore his demise. His death was attributed
to blood poisoning caused by said operation.

End OF a Celebrated Cas-.

The suit of Miles Scandrett against
Calvin Hilemsn in the district court for
damages has been dismissed, an amicsble
settlement having been effected between
the parties.
II will be remembered that nearly q
year ago Hilemsn, whose home is in Le-
Claire township. called upon q young
lady in Lincoln township, and while he
was there Miles Scandrett called AID
made an engagement with the Young la
dy for some other evening. 5csndrett
lives in Pleasant Valley He then left
the house and mounted his horse and
rode of. When Hileman was about to
go home, he discovered that some
one had cut the hitchirg strap
with which his horse had teen tied
ssd that his horse and buggy were gone.
He found the rig about a half a mile
away. but the robes that were in the bug
gy were missing.
He believed that Scsndrett had cut the
hitching strap and had taken the robes.
he had Scandrett arrested. A trial was
had in LeClsire and Scandrett was hon
orably acquitted, 1t having BEEN proven
conclusively that be had nothing to do
with Hileman's rig. Scandrett then COM
meDced proceedings in the district court
against Hileman for damages for false
arrest. A settlement OF the ctse was ef-
fected few days ago. So enis the last
act in the romance OF three TO gnships in
which IL was claimed that Scs pdrett and
Hileman were rival lovers. -Davenport
