THE PROCESSION yesterday evening
naturally suggested thcidea of the play
ofHamlct with the title role emitted.
1t was in honor Of the men who had
lost their lives in defense of the Confcd-
crate FLAG. and yet the identical worn
and blood-stained ilag under which
those men had so often rushed 20 vie
tory and gained unposisha5le glory.
though present when the !ine was FIRST
formed. was flu.Ied ard removed, lest
its presence might prove offensive to a
few persons who were 10 march be
meath it. 70 their credit, it is stated.
that this was not done al the request or
instance Of the ex-federal soldiers III the
procession. On the contrary, that flag
was not ob;cc,ionabieto them, and they
expected ii to be borncin the line along
with the I. s. flag. The removal OF
the flag was due solely and entirely &c
ex-Confederates. Whether they de
serve credit, rsomethins clse,their own
consciences will tel them. OF one
thing they may be certain, and it is
that if their dead comrades could speak
they would tell them they do not desire
their graves to be decorated by mel
who, for any reason, refuse TO pay tho
highest respect to the flag under which
they died, and that hereafter process
sioas on Confederate decoration days
without The Confederate flag, would bi
more honorcd in the breach than in th'
Observance.

A STATEMENT, taken from another
newspaper, recently appeared in the
GAZETTE. TO the effect that Gen. W. IL.
Paync's law practice was worth SO, goo
a wear. and that he refused political Of
flee because il would nccessitate the re-
linouishment of that practice. Now.
the Generals numerous admirers i'll all
quarters of the State would be delighted
if his practice were four-fold the amount
stated. but his familiar friends know ii
is not half that much, and the latter
also know that his refusal to hold poiit-
ical Office is not the result of any such
influence as Chat referred TO, and that if
he thought he could benefit the people
of his State by holding public Office, his
own loss would not deter him from do
inc so. His aversion to such office is
genuine. a man, iii order either to get
or to retain public Office nowadays, can
not be a freeman, and the General, like
some other Virginians who would re-
fleet honor upon their State if in office,
cxults in the freedom ofspcaking and
acting without the slightest restriction
upon his thoughts. 1t Is unfortunate
for. the State that circumstances do not
permit such men to hold public Office.

NEGRO LYNCHINGS IN THE SOUTH
In an interview in Atlanta on Monday
Bishop Fitzgerald, in regard to the re-
cent lynching of negroes by southern
mobs, said
THE unspeal5ahie crime for which
they were lypched outlaws the perpc-
traitor. white or black, in every part OF
the United States. Frequent lynch
ings have occurred from time to time
in the North, but they appear to be for
gotten entirely. The white man in the
South who is guilty of the same
crime meets as swift doom
as the black man. 1t is noticeable
that in all the spasms of indignation
against the southern people because of
these lynchings, no word of sympathy
has been spoken for the white women
who were their victims
The fact is went on the Bishop,
that the best element of the negro
race has 10 sympathy with the crimes
thai result in these outbreaks, and they
are beginning to realize that the south
e,n people are their truest friends.
They have no desire to GO where their
pro!esScd friends are most numerous
and noisy, but prefer to remain among
the white people of the South"

success OF the democratic party at the

IETHE dcmocraticp party had been uni
ted in 1860 Mr.. Lincoln would not have
been elected President; the immense
war loss in men and money would have
been saved, and the South not have
been impoverished. Division in the dem
ocratic party was the cause OF the coun-
try's woe. Is it possible that with such
recent object lesson of the disastrous
effects of division in their party, demo-
Gratis, especially those Of the South,
will allow their personal feelings 10
commit them to any action likely to
produce another division? Before 1860
the people of the North conceded the
fact Shat those of the South were the
better politicians; but everything in the
South has changed, including her poll
