Tho V? ou nd inflicted apon Fren ola pride
by tho fall of tho "virgin fortress" on
the Moselle seems to exceed in acute and
exasperating pain that which proved the
death-blow of tho empire at Sedan, when
France was less proparod to realizo a
great disaster. The charge of high trea?
son against Bazaine continues to bo trum?
peted from oity to city and provinco to
province throughout the repub tic. Every
inoideht in the conduct of tho fallen
marshal prior to his surrender that might
indicate dissatisfaction with the charac?
ter of the new government, or illustrate
his reticence during the preliminaries
for the capitulation, ia given to the pub?
lic In proof of his villainy and duplicity,
Amidst the general imprecations, how
over, thc Constitutionnel, the Gazette, and
other newspapers at Tours, demand a
ou fusion of j ad gino nt, and it is sog
gea^a ?tliat tin opportunity bo given him
to provo bia : innocence before a oonncil
offrait- Unfortunately, the marshal is
a pfihonbr' ht present, and, what may
loud color to tho accusation against him,
is said to be with his imperial master at
Wilhelmshohe, in company with the
Empresa Eugenio. But having never
had either occasion or opportunity to re?
cognize the republic;, it does not appear
strange that he should seek; in his cap?
tivity, tho ofie ta Whom hin allegiance
was originally gi veil, and for whoso cause
his 6,wprd was drawn. Gen. Boyer, his
aide>fle?-pomp,;refutes the charge made
agalbBt hira: by'Gambetta, and reiterates,
"We ? opl'tiiWted W f omi??. ' ' . Gen eral
Bourbaki, who . escaped from Metz, and
nftor a visit to tho.Empresa returned to
France, entered the service of the repub?
lic^ and was'assigned to command in the
North, is under suspicion as having been
a party to Bazaine's alleged disgraceful
design, and it ia reported that, unable to
stem the tide of popular disfavor, ho has
resigned his position. Gambetta has is?
sued another proclamation, in whioh ho
intimates that the soldiers at Metz have
protested against the "cowardly surren?
der," and rofuse to be bonnd by it.
From the least apparently prejudiced
accounts it would appear that Bazaine
has been honestly unable or unwilling to
recognize any legitimate connection bo
tweou himself and the provisional go?
vernment; that he nouai dorn the political
state of France as one of anarchy, and
the provisional ministry irresponsible,
bat that in delivering up Metz to the
Prussians he was influenced by military
necessity rather than by any political
considerations. There are varions ru?
mors concerning intrigues in which he
is interested with the Emperor, and
whioh are not at all unlikely. There are
also reports that the Orleans princes are
active, and that they havo 150,000 adhe?
rents in Western France.
The New York Herald thinks the con?
viction of some of the public officers of
the North, and the infliction of igno?
minious puuishment on them, will be a
valuable public advantage. The Herald
thinks that many of the office-holders in
New York ought to be in the State pri?
son. The radical nominee for Congress,
in the Rochester District, in the State of
New York, who was at one time Comp?
troller of the Currency at Washington,
says that such frauds and evasions arc
committed in the Revenue system of the
United States that "not more than one
half of the amount is collected that
should and would be if the laws were
enforced with administrativo ability and
integrity." He says that the tax-payers
are paying "upon a basis of revenue of
about $900,000,000 por annum, while not
more than one-half of that sum finds its
way into the Treasury." How long will
the people of America enduro such a
system-how long can they endure it?

LEE MEMORIAL VOLUME,-The faculty
of Washington Lee Collego, Lexington,
Virginia, propose to publish a memorial
volume in memory of Gen. Robert E.
Lee, to be prepared, in great part, under
tho immediate supervision of Gen. Lee's
own family, giving a sketch of his life,
from original and authentio sources,
comprising incidents, rcminisceuces,?ac
eount of*death and funeral, eulogies,
editorials, &c., tho proceeds to be de?
voted to the erection of a monument at
Lexington.

KrrcnEN BURNT.-We lenin that thc

since, supposed tho work of tho incen?
diary, as there had been no tiro in tho
liouso all the day before, and could not
hove been tho result of accident.
[La urens v ?Ile Herald.
A difficulty occurred on Tuesday last,
about five miles from EdgeUeld Court
House, oaused by the refusal of a party
of negroes to be arrested on warrants
from tho sheriff und a trial justice for
stealing hogs from tho plantation of Mr.
C. A. Cheatham.

to allow iinrg, tho Architect, to pasa
by. I eon gb t other garoo. I did not,
and do not now, consider him in the
Bing. As ho persists in placing his
"shield" botweon "Fair Play" and his
objects, let mu tell him that the lauco of
truth, when wioldod even by weak bauds,
will pierce through any shield of what?
ever mould. And mine has done it. It
bas roached tho Board or their sub-com?
mittee, and Mr. Allen Ac Co. stand now
transfixed-parties to an unfair and a
one-sided transaction.
Mr. Berg insists that politics, not duty,
inspires my pon. As I understand POLI?
TICS-the organized powor to promote
tho public weal and build up commu?
nities-it is a good thing in its place.
Bul this is not a matter of politics, it is a
matter of fair dealing and public economy,
Messrs. Noyes and Denny are both
avowed "Republicans," and their treat?
ment was the same us that of Mr. Davis,
"anti-radical."
Mr. Berg oharacterizeh my exposure
as "political clap-trap." It is fashiona?
ble now-a-days, in certain quarters, to
hide mnoh rascality under tho cover of
this veil, whioh Mr. Berg, to my surprise,
borrows to flaunt in my face. If a De?
mocrat knocks a Radical down for Bomo
personal offence, it is "politics" that
gave weight to tho honest blow!
I acquit Mr. Borg of any connexion
with aught that is inconsistent with his
professional honor. When Mr. Berg
speaks for himself, he does well; but
when ho champions tho parties that lowe
his professional aid, his cause becomes
"a lost causo."
I insist that this is not a matter of
"politics." This is a matter of a liing
neither more nor less. The financial
Ring-worm that has benn feeding on tho
State has reached the Lunatic Asylum.
That is all. And let us hopo that tho
saying will bo verified-"Them whom the
nods intend to destroy they first make mad."
FAIR PLAY.
SAD ACCIDENT.-Wo learn with regret
that John Andrew Leslio, a son of Mr.
W. W. MoElweo, of this County, aged
about six years, was smothered to death
on Thursday last in a pilo of cotton seed.
Ou tho day previous to thenccideut, this
little boy, iu company with several play?
mates of about his own age. were playiug
in an out-house where tho cotton seed
wero stored. The children excavated a
bolo in tho pile of seed to tho depth of
about eighteen inches, which they styled
"u well." Tho next day the children
again visited tho place where tho cotton
seed were stored, when by some means
tho deceased got into the bolo, head
downwards, and was unable to extricate
himself. Iiis companions, not realizing
his dangerous situation, failed to render
him any assistance, or give auy informa?
tion of his condition to tho family.

There is great complaint relntive to the
irregularity of the maila on the diff?rent
railroads. Ono day last week, no ageut
went out on tho Greenville Railroad
consequently, no mail waa distributed.
On Thursday, there was uo Northern
mail received here-owing to tho absence
of tho mail agent from tho Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Yes?
terday, there was uo mail from Augusta.
These irregularities should be looked
iuto, ami, if the present agents arc in?
competent, others should bo appointed.
Wo call the attention of the officials at
Washington to tho matter, as it is a
growing evil. If the work cannot be
done by the mail agunta, we hope an
arrangement will be made with the
Adams und Southern Express Compa?
nies, and our word for it, there will be
no cause of complaint.
THE D.vvEsroHTS.-T'?ese truly won?
derful mystificators give two of their
indiscoverable performances in Jauuey's
Hall, on Friday and Saturday evenings
of next week. The brothers enter a
coinmou cabinet, and after being se?
curely bound baud and foot, by a com?
mittee selected from the audience, and
tho doors of the cabinet closed, musical
instruments are played and human hands
appear at an opening m the cabinet, and
when tho doors are opened they ure
found to bo securely bound tc their
seats. In tho dark scene one of them is
bound by strong ropes toa chair, and in
that position bis cont is stripped from
him, and seen to Hy across the stage.
The Richmond Dispatch speaks thusly of
their performance in that city:
"The second performance of the Da?
venport Brothers was as great a success
as their first. The gentlemen selected
last night by tho largo audience to
represent them on tho stage were Mr. A. I
M. Keiley and Major Willie Caskie,
General P. T. Mooro, Mr. John Purcell,
Jr., Mr. Mayo, nnd Major W. W. Har?
rison also assisted in efforts to get nt the
bottom of tho mystery, but in vain.
Mr. Keiley took his place in tho cabinet
between the brothers, who were first se?
curely tied. One of his hands was plac?
ed on each of his companions, and his
feet were also bound to theirs, so that
the slightest movement on tho part of
either of tho performers would be de?
tected by him. Tho doors were then
closed, and tho audience, listening, heard
distinctly and successively the playing
npon the guitar, violin and tamborine,
and the ringing of the bells, obedient to
Mr. Kelley's request. Tho door was
theu opened, and Mr. Keiley was dis?
covered with a tamborine ou his head
and a guitar ut his back. He stated that
the brothers bad not moved at all, but
that at his command some mysterious
invisible power, had raised the instru?
ments aud played upon them, and that a
hand had passed across his fuco and
another had been tugging away at the
ropes on his wrists. Like Speaker Tur?
ner on the previous night, he was to?
tally at ii loss to account for the pheno?
mena.
"But it is not our pnrposo to givo a
statement in detail of the performances
of the Davenports last night, nor to try
to accouut for them. They offer no ex?
planation of the mystery, aud no one in
tho audience was able to give ono that is
satisfactory. Conjuration, legerdemain,
spiritual manifestations, or whatever else
they are, these feats afford a most de?
lightful pastime, and opeu a wide field
of inquiry for the speculative mind.
I For nineteen years they havo puzzled
the savants of Europe and America, and
it is hardly probable that to u Richmond
mun will belong tho credit of explaining
'how these things can be.'"
