The report of the coming of Gen.
Sheridan to New Orleans has caused
NJ little speculation as to the exact
purpose for which he has been sent.
Under existing circumstances, the Or
dering Of the Lieut.. Gen. of the army
to that point, is rather significant, and
shows conclusively that the President
intends there shall be no blunders
or omissions on the part of the mill
tary in case their services should be
required, and at the same time have
an officer there who will give plain
unvarnished report Of whatever may
transpire. There is on doubt Sher-
idan possesses the entire confidence
and he well deserves it-of the
President, and at the same time there
is not another general officer of the
army who SO thoroughly under
stands the people of this State, or who
sas we'll calculated to deal with them.
The moral influence of his presence
there is a power in itself, and we
doubt not that the same magic in
tluence that rallied to victory a flying
and demoralized army at Winchester,
will hold in check the turbulent and
| disorderly element of our capital city,
as they we'll know that while doing
Justice to all he is not the man to be
hnmbugged or tritled with, and that
if called upon to use the troops to pre-
serve the public peace, he will do SO
in a manner at once thorough and
decisive.-Republican Pioneer.

The end of the Fall River strike and
the failure to attain the purpose for
which it was inaugurated furnishes a
text for comment on trades, unions

reach. The intent of the trade union

es anything like authentic account
and those un ions were the banding to-
gether of stone masons for the purpose
of protecting the skilled workmen
against imposters who had not
thoroughly learned their trade.
Through the protection secured by
membership of the lodge or union
these builders Of masonry were ena-
bled to travel and work In foreign
countries and secure good wages, not
because they fixed the wa
ges themselves but because they were
masters of their trade and one MEM
ber of the craft recognized and frater-
nized with another at the moment of
meeting. If Free masonry was oper-
ative to-day its object would be the
same and it would be trade union
upon which no imposter could impose
and with which capital would have
no conflict. The trades union of our
time has for its primary object the
compelling of capital to pay such wa
ges for labor as it shall agree upon and
demand. The result Of the Fall Riv-
er strike affords the latest evidence
that capital does not always accede
to this demand. The stone masons of
the middle ages banded themselves to-
gether for protection against incompe-
tent workmen-a perfectly legitimate
proceeding because it secured the fin
ished workman good wages and the
employer good work. The trade un-
ion of modern times looks not so much
to the skill Of the workman and the
superb ority of his work as to the at
tainment of stipulated remunera-
tion-failing to secure this he is bound
not to work at all and strike follows
Obedience to the rules of the Middle
Age lodge of masons resulted in the
abandonment of the work by all good
and true workmen or the expulsion of
the unskilled imposters. Obedience
to the dictates of the modern trade
union cost the Fall River operatives
three quarters of a million dollars and
gained them nothing for they have as
sumed work at the old rate of wages.
Capital may always be consulted but
seldom or never dictated to.

A great work will have been accomplished
for the South If the patriotic gush Oft South
at Boston on the 18th shall grow into home
misunderstanding the spirit and language
Of men of all parties and both races in the
latitudes where prescription has been the rule
and friendly recognition the exception. We
are still apprehensive that many who attended
from the South were governed by motives any
thing but akin 10 the Unselfsh patriotism and
pride of country that suggested the invitation
and celebration. Partisan demagogUes and

the Ipercenary ends of self, were there from
Virginia, and when such political weather
cock as Gilbert c. " .lker is found uttering
sentiments of national foryer and kiuship, We
are led 10 the conclusion that it was more for
the attainment of party benefits than the Cuid-
Vation UfBatiOnsl affection that many of them
we're there. We shall certainly be agreeably
surprised if the elevatlnS influence ofthe assO-
ciation on the nth instant snail have the effect
to change the character OF political contest
in the South hereafter, and inspire respect for
those who have proclaimed the sentiment Of
national fT5 erniZatiOn so happily exhibited at
Boston. We must confess thst we feel q su-
preEle contempt for some Of the narrow aud
spiteful creatures who wormed themselves into

congenial. And while we should hail as the
bright harbiDger Of peace and good will to the
entire country and ofprosperity especially to the
South the practical adoption Of the sentiment
that perVaded at the Centennial, we are fearful
that the lesson will soon Ie forgotten, and that

obnoxiously before the country as an in

From our friend J. c. Rye, of Dover, we learn that the citizens Of Dover propose to try and fix up the grave yard at that place and mark the many graves which are fast becoming so dim that all trace of them will soon be lost.

 This is one of the oldest grave yards in the county and most of the old families of this county have friends and relatives inter- red there. It is suggested by some of the friends that all who feel interested in the matter meet ut Dover some time next month and spend g day in marking and designating or identifying the many graves before all trace of grave or remembrance of the fam fly represented b. the occupant is lost.

 Among the hurry and hustle of life, the last resting place of our friends should not be neglected.

For the first time since it was put into
practice, the special judicial election has
had the effect intended by those who
changed the constitution Of the State. No
one will deny but the election of Mr.. Carr
to the State Superntendency could not
have been accomplished if the election OF
that officer had taken place the same time
other State officers were chosen. So
strong would have been the shackles Of
party combined with the fact that the
Independents had Il candidate of their
own in the field that beyond a peradven-
ture the entire Democratic ticket would
have been carried through and Fitzger-
aids majority would only have been less
than that of the others. As II was the
lessness Of success withdrew from the
contest, the Republicans united on Carr,
and with the aid Of the many Democrats
who are disposed to put the man above
party, the State has reversed the decision
Of the Septem Der election for the first
time in its history and given its October
election the opposite way.


Ii this principle were brought into gem
era practice the people could afford the
trouble and expense Of the two separate
elections in one year. If politics were
ignored in the choice OF judicial and ed
ucatioual officers to the extent which the
last election has shown, the object de-
signed by the constitutional amendment
would be secured and those who supported
the change be satisfied with the result Of
/ their experiment. Does the experience
Of past years justly us in the belief? Take
the election in 1869 as an example. Then
/ the Democrats carried the State over.
wheImingly in September, and followed il
up BY Getting all judicial officers voted fol
next month, every District Judge elected
in the State being Of that political faith
The same result, though not to so great
/ an extent, followed the Republican vic
/ tories in 1868, 65 and II and the Demo
cratic triumph in 1867. This year has
been the first IN which the people have
rose above party, and as it was in this
county, SO it appears to have been every
where. Carr has had the confidence of
the people and the judicial tickets which
he headed have, in many instances been
carried triumphantIy along.
