THE G. A. r. in Washington cele-
brated the anniversary of the surrender
of General Lee in conspicuous style
last night, by banquet at which fed
eral war songs and incidents and repub-
licanism and jingoism abounded. And all
this in the capital ofthe restored Union,
and where the representatives from
every section OF the country are now
in session, professedly. at least, ieglslat-
ing for the good of the whole country.
and where sectionalism should be es-
chewed, and efforts made to assuage,
rather than rankle, the animosities en-
gendered by the war between the
States.

THE RIDICULOUS absurdity of modern
American politics could not have pos
sibly been exhibited in more glaring
light than that in which it appeared in
the U. S. House Of Representatives yes
terday, when nearly all the protection
ISL members of that body voted to re-
move the protection from American pi-
lots, and nearly all the free trade mem
bers voted to retain it. But politics are
what ex-Mayor Strauss says they are,
only more so, and those who follow
them for living, fool the ignorant and
prejudiced voters as easily as ever; IS is
perfectly natural in country of unre-
stricted suffrage.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANs.-Referrin
to General Edgar Allan's charges that
he has discovered and would expose an
effort on the part of Colonel Lamb to
control the recent republican county
conventions by a method which was
the most questionable ever resorted to
in this or any other State by republi-
can leader, Colonel Lamb said yester-
day that he would be glad to
have the whole correspondence pub
lished; that county chairman in the
Fourth district wrote to him suggesting
it would be necessary to use little
money to head off the opposition,
which was using it, and in reply Col.
Lamb asked how much it would take to
control the county. The chairman re-
piled sos, whereupon Colonel Lamb de-
clined to send the money, and wrote
the chairman that he left the Fourth
district to Colonel Brady's management.

RAlDED THE POsTOFFIcE.

An Incident in the Career of Lord VOL
seley in India.s
To illustrate some of the disagreeable
things which the soldiers suffered in
the Soudan, Mr.. Nourse tells the follow
ing anecdote of the postal service,
which also well shows how democratic
was Lord Wolseley, the commandant,
says the Springfield Republican.
Nourse went into the postofiice at Korti
to look for some letters. The postmas-
ter was native and not very much at
handwriting, and said that there was
nothing for him aftes a superficial
glance at big pile of papers and let
tiers. Nourse asked to see the pile of let
tiers and while he was looking them over
a man with nothing to designate his
rank came into the Office in company
with another. He took in the situation
at glance and said: Lets clean this
thing out" Whereupon they jumped
over the counter and bundled the post
master out, neck and heels. Then they
began the examination of the Office and
found it congested with mail for the
army. They searched every nook and
Granny and threw the letters for one
regiment into one corner. those for an
other into another. with all the
newspapers in the centers Of the T5oF
Then they went through each pile and
separated it into companies, and before
night every letter was in camp and dis
tributed, and the next day the papers
were out. Nourse at the time did not
know who his companion In the good
deed was. He asked him bis name and
his answer was: "They cali me Charley"
Some time afterward Nourse was going
to see the commandant and, sitting near
his tent, saw his companion at the post
Office.
Hello, Charley" he said, I'm look
ing for tle commandant; where'll find
him."
"Well," said Charley" you won't
have to look very far I'm the COM
mandant. Come inside and have bit
to eat and drink"
1t was Lord Wolseley, and . man
worthy of the title.
