Der of the Old Guard:
We notice that the press quite generally
speaks of Hollis late hanging affair at Wash
ington as '.judicial murder" How can ii
be jndicial,' when the JUDICIARY had moth
ing to do with it? Whether the parties
hanged were innocent or guilty, the public
can have no intelligent opinion, because they
had no trial. Hollis military inquisition was
no more like trial than gossiping-match
of drunken men and lewd women is trial
Almost all the witnesses were the hired pmps
and spies Of Stanton's departments set of
yagabonds and thieves l-comm1n liars -
the fit instruments of such a court. But we
have not seen the end of this lawless affair.
Holt and his blackguards will yet stand in
the criminals box, to answer to bench of
judges for the part they have played. There
is silent scowl upon the public face, which
means that the thing will yet come into the
courts ofLAw. If all the parties were ten
times guilty, that does not lessen the crime
of Holt and his villains. By the LAWS, Holt
and his Williams are guilty of the crime Of
MAKsLAUGHTER, and they may be, and we
trustin God they will be, tried and punished
as the law ordains. In England, not many
years ago, a military governor of India was
hanged for less offence against the civil
law, even twenty years after his lawless court
martial. If Holtdoes not dream every night
Of "A rope about his neck it is because he is
as much fool as knave.
An exchange informs us that "free soup of
an excellent quality is dealt out to the poor

went down South burning houses and wheat
fields, and stealing spoons and fnger-rings.
We are, indeed, a model set of Christians.
We give SOUP to those whom we have robbed
and plundered Ii the kingdom of heaven
consists of such Christians, what can be the
inhabitants of the kingdom of the devil?
A cotemporary says that General Sher-
man is the real hero of the war, because he
marched straight through the BOWELS of the
South. That is, probably, the reason why
Gen. Sherman speaks of the late conflict as
''our terrible INTESTINE war"
There has, of late, been great mortality
among the Loyal Leaguers in every Northern
State, large number having been inhuman-
ly murdered by returned soldiers, for having
been too attentive to their wives while the
brave boys were absent in the army. And
this is the way the Loyal Leaguers FLEW TO
ARMS in the service of their country.
A returned soldier lately offered fine horse
for sale in New York, which he said was
great racer. "Can he run very fast 2" in
quired one of the spectators. 'Oyes," said
the soldier, che was rode by General Hooker
at Chancelloryille. The wag sold his horse
for $500.
The Independent, Beecher's paper, is still
harping on miscegenation. 1t says
..No race is good alone. God meant them
to be combined, and He knows best how, in
His own good time, to cause all these grapes
of life in his royal cup to make wine meet !
for the lips of the Lord to drink
Go IN, then, lascivius, disappearing wretch,
and "combine" with the Ethiopic wenehes-
press and squeeze the luscious BLACK GRAPES
until you are full of tie wine that flows from
their lips. Go IN. But when you come
back into tie presence of white men and
women, nave the decency to hang your crazy
hsad, and avert your negro pertumed face
Some rich men of New York, a few months
since; presented Admiral Faragut with $50, 600
in Seven-Thirty Bonds. If they desired to
make the Admiral a genuine gift of that
amount, why not makeitln gold J? Why mock
4 brave man with present OF ''bonds" on
IF the poor Admiral trusts to
these "bonds," as support in his old age,
he time will come when he will repeat the
words of st. Paul, who, on being dragged
pound before Roman tribunal, exclaimed
hat he wished all who heard him "were such
Is be was, except these BONDS"
