CAUSE AND EJECT.

AND
We live in a philosophical age, and it is
therefore highly proper that we should have
one or two philosophical newspapers in this
city, who, when anything uncommonly bad
happens, can tell us why it happened, and I'M
der what circumstances it could not have hap
pened Two classes Of men, we notice, divide
the responsibility of all our disasters-the Radi-
Gals and the Black Man. One of these answers
the purpose quite as well as the other, for
sometimes it is Sambc who is abused and some
times Mr. Sumner. We recognize the high
and imperative necessity which rests upon
these journalists of saying something, and are
not disposed to be bypercritica when we read
the charming leaders which they are so good
as TO write. OF course, oil our mismanage-

Really, the reader may take his pick out Of
a variety of reasons. Perhaps it is the radical
sm of The TRIBUNE which obiuscates tie
brains of general officers. Perhaps it is the
naughty rhetoric OF Mr. Wendell Phillips
which has sent our forces backward to
Washington" Perhaps it is the Emancipation
and ConGscaton Bill which has exercised so
demoralizing an influence upon contractors.
Perhaps a steady Pro-Sayery policy upon the
part of the Government would mend oil the
shoes in the army, and patch all the jackets,
and ill all the meat tubs, and supply powder
and shot and Brigsdiers and bravery and all
other convenient and necessary articles.
If this be so, why, of course, our wrath
should instantly light upon Sambo' as the
primary cause of all our woes. Why, it is
perfectly apparent TO any low, dirty vulgar
and barbarous dock lOaier, that if 1t hadn't
been for the odd nggers," We should never
have been in this condition of hot water. Ims
