I According to thetabove high authority, our erst-
while Northern brothers are getting in very
bad way. Indeed, their condition is beginning to
be depiorable. BY their own showing, they are
the worst off set Of people the sun ever shone
upon. Their q currency y u being rendered IN

dishpnor reputation, certain disunion, an abrupt

impendingt If this is not full confession Of
Judgment, we are incapable Of scompreh blending the
meaning Of terms. /.
THE New York World, after acknowledging all
these after admitting that it's section
lis bee ming alike helpless and contemplate in the
eyes Of civilization seeks to shift the blame from
the shoulders Of its administration upon its ma
tional Legislature, BY insisting that the Federal
aGongress does nothing but talk, It seems to us
that the World is singularly ia its APP
plioation Of reasons. The Federal Congress has
done much besides indulging in, +" tals.n3 It has
voted the Gorilla Government everything it asked
for-hund reds Of millions Of money and hundreds
Of thousands Of men, Every Recommendation Of
lincoln has been promptly acquiesced in and car
ried out. The sRump . Parliament was not more
iobssquious to Cromwell than has the Federal Com:
gress been to- the chief Gorilla. In fact, such say
ish debasement was never before witnessed and,
iii the Congress has INDUCED in vast amount Of
speeehifying, 1t has passed great variety of dis
graceful laws and has wed with sthe Executive in
industrious efforts to sound the lowest depths of
human infamy.

this Il Nero fiddled while Rome was Burning
Now, this was very wrong in Nero. He should
have helped TO put ont the fire, and stroYe to have

made himself q wise and just ruler, He might
have accomplished 4 great deal Of good by so do
ing, and left behind him an honorable name. But
Nero's fddling was harmless in itself, and SO
the talk = Of the Federal Congress about which
the World 50 vehemently complains. But, if the
Federal Congress will stop talking, impeach and
remove lincoln and his internal advisers and thus
render them powerlsss for evil they will do just

Be this IS it may, we have the high satisfaction
Of Informing the New York World and Its Abolition
sconfreres Of the North, that we Of the South do
mot care g how their Congress Z. talks 2 Or how
their Administra alton acts. We have . supreme
contempt for both although we frankly acknowl-
edge to unmixed pleasure on. account Of the wide
spread ruin and all-peryading national disgrace
their own atrocious wickedness has brought upon
them May il continue and augment until sincere
reformatio takes place. s5% 4
