Now comes the hlatherskite Benoit
once more, who will be before the
people as a Congressional candidate
for the third (bnt not the last) time.
This man ought to know by this
time that he has no more show in
this district than Republican. The
only thing that this bump can do is
TO contest, which be has got down
pat, and which enables him to have
a little pocket change given him by
a partisan Congress.

Divine Seetionalism.

In the beginning of the summer o
this year, the graduating class of Yale
planted in the college grounds sprie
of ivy from the grave Of Genera
Robert E. Lee, situated at Lexington
Va. But when Rev. Joseph Twilchell
of Hartford, spoke at the dedication
of the Woolsey monument, he said al
would make this statue avert it's head
if a class of Yale should plant All ivy
from the grave of Robert E. Lees
good man representing an infamous
cause" around its base. On the
strength of this declaration, the ivy
was torn up and destroyed by un.
known parties.
In spite of these little insults to bis
memory, General Lee sleeps on in
peace, aud an appreciation of his cour-
age and valor stands confessed in
every Southern heart. lie may have
been wrong he may have represented
all Infamous cause; he may have lead
the Southern forces TO a defeat to
which every succeeding year adds a
new and frcshcr bitterness; be may
have placed a stigma upon the Con-
fcderate States that ages will no, heal,
but he lived aud died the idol of his
people, aud the justice of his deeds
will be defended and approved by
them as long as his name and the era
he immortalized lend grandeur aud
life 10 his coun,ry's history.
In the cemeteries of Virginia, the
home OF General Lee. rest thousands
of Federal soldiers sleeping beside
Confederates, whose graves are dressed
without either favoriteism or distinc-
ton; upon the graves of every other
Southern cemetery flowers are i'm
partially strewn on the days sct aside
for their decoration and in return, if
sectional hatred and bigotcd animosi-
ty forbid that sprig from the ivy
crowned grave of Rober. E. Lee, be
allowed to grow upon the "campus
martius" of Northern school, il
should certainly be detached from
this high-strung military soil and cast
away as unworthy aud uncleau. The
South has received many stab from
Federal Christians, soldiers and schol-
ars, beside which the ivy twig story
would not be noticed, aud it is posi-
BILE that we shall receive mary more
as long as putridity and stencil boil in
the brains Of an applauded few.
The memories Of tho "Lost Cause
are dear TO none but Southerners aud
as those who participated in that long
and cruel struggle are rapidly drop
ping from the list of the living, II
grows DINNER and DINNER; but the
incoming generation have implanted
in them the same spirit which moved
upon the armies of '61, and the blood
of their kindred which flowed upon
Southern baitlefields emballned In
them all imperishable love-a love
which would not recede from the
touch OF the Federal bayonet, much
less sentence of CONCEALED idiocy,
which, long ere its utierauce, had
soured the reason of its author.
The Chicago Chronicle, upon this
subject, made an attack upon the
South aud her military leaders in the
late war, which was universally criti-
cized in the North by the more con-
servative press, which exerts an iuflu-
ence and exists for purpose immeas-
urably above the low-flung motives
which actuate the Chronicle. Prank.
