Clarifying Negro Troops.

Nobody grudges word of praise for the negro
troops which they honestly deserve. Whenever
they DO better in battle than is expected of them,
ii is but fair that they should receive credit in re
ports of commanding generals. provided always
that the yalOr OF the white soldier Is not unusty
sighted by omissions or by invldious comparl-
But fulsome laudation OF the negro al the
expense of the white soldier Is quite another mat
ter II is nauseous and intolerable; and, II In
dulged in to any extent by radical war cores
pondeuts and newspapers, must produce an IN
tensity OF dislike on the part of white toward
black soldiers, which will have a bad ELECT
in all army operations where the latter are en-
gagged.
Some remarkable specimens of this exaggera
ted hero making of the colored soldier and
studied depreciation of the white one came all the
way from Cincinnati, on Friday, for the 'Asso-
cIated Press" accompanying the "DETAILS OF zen.
Sturgis' defeat. The negro troops are glorihed
throughout, but there is not word OF extenua-
ton for the poor whites

The New LOan-HOW the Treasury

The following facts in relation to the manage

Treasury agents, furnish additional evidence
that the leading object OF the men in power ID to
advance their pecuniary interests, no matter at
what sacrifice to the public welfare. We direct
attention to the matter because the Admlnistra
ton Is now on trial before the country, and an
effort is being made to prevent an lnvesu-
cation Of the conduct Of public officials,
upon the ground that loyalty to the Government
demands united support of the powers that be-
no matter whether their conduct is wise OF foolish.
honest or corrupt.
This il the doctrine of the MoRToSITEs in 10
diana They declare that the party, and acts oil
the party in power, must be sustained aud its rule
perpetuated regardless of it, character or conse-
quences.
The Developments which We subioin, in regard
to the operations in one branch of the public
service, is fair exposition Of the management OF
all and they. therefore. deserve the attention OF
a con6dng people. We copy the following his
