It is doing, however, what the nation ought to do. To leave a man who has worn tho highest rcagii-te rial robes in object poverty as was the. case with Jefferson, Munroc and.aoruc ether of the ex-Presidents, is unbecoming the Rc ublie. After a man bus been a President 1sj ought not to be allowed to die in penury add to be left without a gravestone, but ought to be provided lor by the government itself. Them was one of the ureal signs of the times tbe other day, when the 'Missi'hssipprVallc. Inter-State Con- Tcntiou" was . permanently organized, looking to tho subjection et thut un rivalled volume of jwaler within pre scribed bf.uks,. relieving those immense morattscs from inundation, as Holland is relieved froni'Uhe Rhine and the Zujder Zee, and creating a cigantic avenue of commerce, which will bear out to the ocean tho vast treasures of j the heart of the continent. The Richmond Democrats arc nearly ivi Maurt as their brethren in Wilming "ton, or they' .cheated 'more than a thousand ItepubHcans out of their votes. Tlicy did not do it by being t low. cu purpose, in taking the votes, thus defeating them of exercising their ri-hts of CillZ3ns. There, among Other beneficial laws in Virgi Virginia, is one re-I quiring the voters to bhow their tax receipts "bt fore voting.

SOUTHERN COriGRESSIOIfAIi CONTESTS .ANU THE THESI DENTkLECT. Tbe National jRcjwbiiozn, conducted by ourold friend Col. A. M.

It is good enough for ibem " for that class of men are not unobservant of ttieir relations to the rest of the Rcpubli cans.'and have received that peculiar fitness for dealing with Southern af fairs ihU has 'coma to them from long and dreary years of trial in their own surroundings, . and not un frequently from the rsisappreheusiojt .".jifl ig vorancc of northern Republicans us to the situation; here. We are not al luding now to ihosci northern flunkies. who forgot the bud deeds and purposes of southern DWqcrats,'in their ear nestness to 1 critisiz'j ' carpet-bsggers, native whites and negroes, who make up the bulk of the party in the B0U Wc h kin had bui jitllcr rcRpcct for that tfirtrionieratiou of J 8upercmousneHS and ignorance ol southern afltirs. But we mean those, who like the publican, are our real friends, and mean Bothing towards us but kindness. I . i Thelatter part-of the llcpublkati's article shows open good sense, aod wc copy in cxlcnso and indorse, premising that we hope no southern, Republican will appear before the -lidi Congress askicg of it unreasonable t'ninKi or pressing bad case: The contests should not be sudt-red to drag along for many in'ontb.s, as has too often hitherto been the case. If necessary.i the election committee Rhnaid hn Rnlared aothat !in cnere-etic subcommittee could investigate each J case without delay. If there is an ex tra session the committees should sit during the racess and be ready to re port on the lirst day of tlpe regular ses sion, 'lucre are (some districts wuicti will not a need a great amount of in vestigation, such as the firsthand third of North Carolina, the five of South. Carolina, the second aud sixlli td Ala bama, and tic sixth of Mississippi. he irauds in tlieai "are .notorious and evident. The illegal and unjust methods Used by the, Democrats are ;nrcelv concealed. Many Of them are matters of record, and neei only a statemetit to be convincing of llie character. The Democratic members from these dis tricts ought not to ,bo allowed to act one day in the i :'paeity-of members. I hey should be objected to when the y appear to take f lie oath When scats '-.ire -declared, vacant and new elections ane ordered the Ropub'li cans of the nortn should see to it that there is an actikrc'. support in money and speakers given to tne Republican candidates, bo that a vigorous contest may bo made and a thorough watching of the count secured. Thus protected and encouraged the Republican organization could be kept lutact, election ohieers would ! hid themselves in too much litrlit t feel safo iu tampering wiih returns, i bull dozers would reilect that their labors aud risks would effect nothing in the end, and a change would come over Democratic methods They will be forced to rely upon winning voteis by fair discussion and right reawin. Should a district persist in ludeterminution to ovorthrow the will if the majority by tisuo ballots, repeating or intimida tion, then it should ba at once required to hold another election am! the process snouiu dj eontmue l uutu llure is a free vote and an hn?H count.

SOUTHERN SCHOOL BOOKS. The children of a largo portion of Virginia in their schools are taught the history', of their country from a book of ,o28 pages, the title pago of which read.-, "New School History of the United States. From the earliest discoveries to the present time,by J. S. Blackburn, principal of Potomac Acad emy, Alexandria, Va., and W, N. Mc Donald, A.

PRINCES FAVl)Pv5: A .Story of - . -Lsve, War and Ptditio. J'v Wilsou J. Vat ce. The American News Com p-i y, N. Y., Publishers. The nbove very excellent novel was received by us some weeks ago, but owing to the pres of campaign matter we neglecteel to notice it. for. 'Which we offer our apologiei to "our persona friend Co!. V auce. We take pVasure in recommending tbe book to all lovers of fiction. We publish below an edito rial from the Toledo, Ohio, Journal; One of the crispest and most clear cut stories of the times is Captain V ance s story ot "Putices Favors " xii outgrowth of long and keen observance of public i aflirs and of personal par licipation in many ol tho events re corded. The btH)k opens i wiih very terider reminiscences of the days when tbe boy hero, Randolph Remden, said good -bve to his mother I'r gallant sy- vice in the war. A ue vry urst chapter touches the fountain of tears bringing about at the start very close and sym pathetic relations' betweea the author and his reader. Captain Vance had, wht nyiny authors deem of not the slighte-t importance, a story to 'tell; and he. telis it well, with nil the pallu s of a simple narrative and "all th en-thii-issui of an actual experience. The vari rus typical character who. frequent the National Capital are luost clearly drawn and none will t.Vd to recognize the faithfulness of" th- pic tures of certaiu L public hiuctiouaries who liuure in the storv. The .lempta- tiori ed' ollicial iifethe htrujgle for notoriety, the desire for wealth iu order to gratify a love of display, the syco phancy tf the place Irinter and the tiyp-Hiracy of tlm place-giver, the sad ups and the still s idder ilowus all ap pear in their native colors, with the t-tory of Col. Kcmsrii, and bis old fash ioned notions ,of honor, and chivalry, and cbarity. and benevedeiicc, running like a thrtad of gold through llie gloom. Tne feminine characters of thv t.ry are most, tenderly drawn from Cnp!sin. Kersen'S early love, ly'ri'e. lh heroine d' the days of battle, to llaude Lnwtou, and her (nother, Tom Lawlou' widow, aud Lit'lc Bessie wiih her tad and tonchiugWtory of desertion stud iifglecf. Captain Vance had done well in u plementing his loug-continued and brilliait newspaper woife with no euc cesful a Venture into the field of liter ature. He has producel a thoroughly readable story ard his friends ir.
