Low COMEDY AND HIGH TRAGEDY.-The
rebel sympathizers after four years of failure
in attempting to destroy the Republic, have
changed their tactics, and now propose to
show their new born patriotism by admins
tering the Government; AMI to this end they
ask the soldiers, at whose hands they have
received good drubbing in the field to sacri-
fee the result of their labors, by voting. for
them aud for their stool-pigeons at the next
election. Having failed to accomplish their
object by burglary aud robbery, they now
blandly ask for the keys of the citadel and af-
feet to believe, that they have found fools
enough among the soldiers to hand them over
to their keeping. We do not believe it. The
latest farce of the season, was enacted the
other day at Montrose, where band of fnoted
copperheads, manipulated an s.anti Soldiers
Suffrage Convention and nominated tick
ct of well-known, open mouthed, violent,
rebel sympathizers, with a sprinkling Of sol
diers as salt to save the mass from putrefac-
ton. Salt will not save it. The whole ticket
will be peppered in October.-H Madison

. Ii may startle you to be told the South
never had any affection for the institution oil
slavery it is true, nevertheless. Settled hab-
its of life and a thousand interests were bonnd
up in it; but all of these would long ago have
been sacrificed to emancipation, if only the
black man could thereby have been made
white. The dilemma of the South was,
Whether it were better to bear the ills VIC
have, than to fly to others we know not Of
1t was the anticipation of the appalling prob
lem of what the freedmen would do and ol
what could be done for him, that forbade
emancipation by the general sentiment of the
South. Now the whole South accepts eman.
cipation, and with certain feeling of Joy
that the responsibility of the result is moi

New YoRK, Sept. 81.
The news received today from Havana is
to the 9Th.
A royal decree orders that the army in
Cuba shall be reduced to the same footing
as before the campaign in San Domingo.
This would imply denial of the statement
that Spain was still determined to reconquer
the Dominican Isle. NJ. Lamarina declares,
though without giving official authority, that
the Island Of Cuba now owes to Spain S78,-
100000. In 1927 the debt amounted to S167,-
100000.
The news from Havana includes nothing
further from Maxico, there having been no
later arrivals from Vera Cruz.
