NO CAPITAL IN THE VERDICT FOR
REPUBLICANS.

The Republican papers received at
this office since the announcement of
the verdict of the Senate in the i'm
parchment case have contained no
word OF comment. OF course there is
no political capital in it for them. but
they should have the honesty to
admit that the Democrats have acted
fairly by them.-Durham Herald.

THE Washington Post, in an edi-
torial commenting on the many false
press reports sent out of the subjuga-
tion of the Beers. closes as follows:
The simple truth of the matter is
that 10000 fighting Beers are baf-
fling, bewildering. wearing out. and
gradually killing 100000 British SOL
diers. From the very first the Beers
have outwitted, outfought, and out
maneuvered their bovine enemies.
Man to man, they would have ex-
tinguished the British army more
than a year ago. Even now. were
the British not more than five to one,
they would drive them into the sea
within two months. They are the
braveSt, most efficient, aud most
devoted men that ever fought against
brutal tvrrany, and if there be JUS
tice in heaven they will vet win.
