This Funkkai. of Gen. Grant will

of New York. On lust Tuesday ser

jirocessiou will hi- t lie longest niul
largest ever set n in the United .Stuff?,
and in it will bo thousands upon
thousands of ex- L'nioii soldiers.
Presidon! Cleveland w ith his Ctihtiu t.

This will be a practical illustration
of tlie em of roi'nuciHatiou between
OmTortii and the South. Mis. Grant
herself leuues.'eil thiU the eoiiieilec
ate generals should act as pull-hearers
This ought to silence forever
the howls of tin 'so who stigmatize
confederate soldiers as rthels and
traitors. (Jen. Hancock will be the
chief marshal in charge of the funeral
ibsetpiies, mid (Jen. Filhngh Lee
lias accepted an invila. ion to be one
of his aides, and we predict that he
will attract more al tentiou than any
other rutin in the long procession.
V regret to see iu the Northern
papers so much complaining because
the city of New York instead of
tVashington was selected for (Mint's
burial. The place was selected by
his family his widow uiul sons and
nobody else has any right to object.
It it also ili..gti.ting to hear of the
shrewd device thai a: e being resort
ed to by our Vankcc bretliren to
mak? money mil of Giant's death
and evnylhing connected with bis
funeral.
FlTiiiou Lkk is the democratic
candidate for Governor of Yirg:nia.
as we pi f-dit led souii lime ago. The
convention that iioiiniiaicd i.iiu was
held at Itichiuond ia-t week, and vva.i
one of tin- largest and must enthu

His biiiiiaut I'liiiii as a Ct'iifi-dcriitt-gent
ai nnd his reat purity of char
acter have i nde.'iicd him to all the
people of the South, and they wiil
be pleased to Lave him elected Gov
ernor of Virginia. The eatnpaigu
will no doubt be very exciting but
the demociiits are confident of vic

A Diabolical Deed.
! A dispatch from Denver. Colorado,
,' dated August 1st. says: The incom
ing Lendviilo passenger train, due
hero at last evening, exploded a
dynamite cartridge when about, two
and a half miles south of thiri city.
The engine and tender were badly
wrecked by the explosion, ami one
; length of the track was torn up. but
' none of the passengers were injured,
i The explosion was distinctly heard
j n distuned of ten miles. It is gener
j ally believed that the outrage was the

i he gran 1 jury o!' the inferior court
of Ibiiiconibe counly, in session last
week, made it rep.oii lo the court as
' follows: W'e have examined the jail
and find it safe in all respects, ex
' cept there are no stiilicieiit barriers
to the windows so that poisons can

' commissionets has been called to this
(fact, but they have neglected to take
iimy steps to remedy tnis defect and
: then fore have been guilty of gross
negligence in the diseluuge of their
duty. And it is the opinion of this
grand jury that they should he en
tplired of by the b.idy of die county.
We further find thai there bad been
a previous effort, on the part of the
pits mors to make an escape, and
that a letter ha 1 been bunded to the
sin-rill, warning him that an attempt
would bo ma le by the p:i.-o.:ois. or
their friend.-, to In die the jailer.

never taken to the idea of an evening j
