THE WASHINGTON newspaper that
for some years past has been trying to
defame Alexandria, speaking of the late
condonable lynching in this city, says
the people here "hsye just taken steps
to improve their police machine, and
though the disturbances occurred be-
fore the change could take effect they
cannot but bear upon the temper of the
citizens and upon their general view of
the principles of municipal govern
ment." AS the disturbances" refer
red to would be repeated tomorrow or
next year, for like cause, how they
can bear upon the temper of the cti-
zens and their views of the principles of
municipal government, is only what the
newspaper referred to can tell.

ACCORDING TO flibuster accounts, the
Spanish soldiers drive the women and
children of the Cuban insurgents in
the rural portions of their country into
the cities, where no provision is made
for feeding them. But during
the war in tbs South, the
federal army drove the women
and children of the Confederates ia the
cities into the country, where provision
could not be made for feeding them
and drove those of the country into the
wilderness. Indeed, even by the &C.
counts referred to, the Spanish COM
msnders are milder hammered than
we're those of the federal army.

THE most consummate military art
and science, the wisest craftsmanship
and the magnanimous treatment of its
conquered and ancient foe, recently
manifested by Turkey, afford patent
illustration of the popular errors that
exist here in respect of the
condition of foreign nations. But
when the people of one section of this
country, the North, are as ignorant of
the true state of affairs in the other
the South, as they must be, Judging
from their newspapers, it is not at all
wonderful that their ideas OF nations
that live in distant parts of the world
are any thing else than correct. In
the present Greeco-Turkish war the
Greeks, and not the Turks, are 'uu-
speakable."

IT IS RATHER remarkable that the
idea of protecting the lives of Mr..

female members OF their families.

THE FACT that lynching doesn't seem
TO deter negroes from attempting the
crime for which it is becoming the in
evitable punishment, is not sufficient
reason for it's abolition, as the white
men of the South cannot sit quietly
while the danger to the female mem
bers of their own families and those OF
their neighbors continues to increase.
