FAIR PLAY TOWARDS THE SoUTH.-The
New York Post, Radical of the strictest
sect, does not agree with Mr.. Colfax in
his electioneering speech, and says his
demands are unreasonable. 1t says:
The rebellion in the Southern States
was crushed the rebel arDlies were scat.
tered and disarmed; the people have re-
turned to their homes under oath to
make no further resistance to the ''su-
preme laws of the land" but to be hence
forth peaceable citizens. They claim
that it is their intention to keep this oath,
and they add they do it cheertuliy: Their
| leading men exort them to attend to their
private affairs, aud to submit honestly to
the penalties OF defeat. Now, to ask
more of them at present, to ask them
that they shall be glad and proud of their
defeat, is to forget the nature OF mems
minds and hearts it is to demand i'm
possibilities. By and by, we trust, the
whole South will be convinced that the
failure of the rebellion was for the bes
interests of the Southern people. to
the present we may be reasonably con
tented with their submission to the laws
and need not stop to inquire about thel
sentiments.

"V. H." Southern correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Commercial, who abuses
the South as disloyal, and tells wonder
tul tales of cruelty, is said to be lUnatlc,
Some years ago he received little ap-
pointment from Secretary Stanton, when
he was pro Wing about the streets OF
Washing gton in the habiliments Of beg
gar. Upon receiving his appointment, he
rushed from the War Department, hatless
barefooted and ragged, waving his com
mission over his head, and exclaiming at
the top of his voice, ''Pve got it! I've
got it! I'm made man! Now I'll
fight the rebels with sword and pen, and
give 'em hell on every inch of ground "
The informant of the Memphis Argus
says that the proprietors of the Cincinna'
ii Commercial employ this lunatic, wei
knowing and acknowledging in private
that he is madman.

THE DUKE OF ALvA.-The following ex
traordinary domestic tradition Is eX-
tracted from a new book which IS much
talked of in Europe:
The brother in-law of Napoleon Ill Is
a SHIRT little man, who has something icy
about his whole manner. Small and
weak, his face displays an alabaster hue,
which gives him ghost-llke aspect. In
Spain the story is current that the duke
was buried before he was born. While
his mother was enciente with him, she was
taken so desperately i'll that all the att
tempts TO restore her renamed truitless.
The duchess died far from Madrid at
chateausw hich had always been her favor
ite residence. She was buried IN the
family vault and, as it is the custom OF
the Spanish nobility, several valuables,
among others her rings were put IN the
coffin. The treasures which had been
left TO oblivion with the duchess aroused
the cupidity of some ruffians they broke
into the vault on the night following the
funeral. robbed the dead woman, and
would not leave the coffin till they had
p'ucked a flashing diamond from the
| finger of the corpse The diamond was
| on the little finger and would not come
off. This gave the body-snatchers the
truly cannibal idea of cutting the finger.
The pain aroused the apparently dead
woman; she came to her senses, sat uE
in the coffin, and, by her unexpected
weakening, put the robbers to Hlgnt
When they departed they forgot to close
the vault. The duchess found sufhclen'

THE MAN WHO STRUCK HIMSELF


Jason Elder belonged 10 that rather .arge
class o. persons who7fnd pleasures in the
snffering or misfortune OF their fellow men.
This is stating the case rather broadly. and
we do not, 10 The least, doubt thar Jason,
should he ever chance 10 discover this miro
duciion OF himself to he public, will reject
our classification, so far as he is concerned
We make II understandngly, however,
The fault we have indicaied is usually the
companion of another. The man who feels
pleasure in the ill.lortune of his neighbor
will hardly hesitate to inaict an injury, j! il
can be done with impunly.
Men OF the class TO whom Jason Elder
belonged rarely passed far on their ife
journey. wi,hor, misunderstanding with
some OF their fellow passengers. OF course
they are always in The r;ghl, and their feI
low passengers in me wrong. And as they
are ibs inbred and the oppressed, !: is the
most natural 10 rslaIiaIe-giving blow for

tsfhe rnstI who wrongs me | neither for

Elders sayings, and avery bad saying, we
cannon help declaring it to be particularly
so in Jason's case for be quisuy lived up 10
his principles. OF course Judgment as to
wrong was always rendered by himself.
and On evidence wholly experie. II be be-
lieved that another meant TO do him wrong
---and be could believe, sometimes, on very
slight evidence-an evil purpose was quick
- born 10 his mind as il positive testimony
were before his eyes. Sss..s.
10 fact, Jason Elder was very bad sort
Of man, and osiea very Troublesome to
those who had any dealings with him
Among those who were fav ored with the
.hear:Y oisIiks OF Elder was a master me-
ichanic in small way, named Martin Lee,
who, by industry and economy, had ecumu-
lated enough 10 buy himself a house ol
moderate size, as home for his family
Elder also owned a house in The same
neighborhood There houses were bull, on
a piece OF GROUND that originally belonged 10
the same estate.
Mr.. Lee was a very upright man-ioo
upright and indesendenr TO have much in
:sercourse with man like Elder, and NOR
rally offended him. He had SO ofisnced
him and the offence was neither forgotten
nor forgiven. In. more than one instance
mis- enemy bad sought to do him injury; bnl
abe poisoned arrows, flung from his bow,
had aown harnIessly by him.
One day, while in conversation with one
of lhose idle, gossiping individual, who
givs-mors attention to other peoples BUSH

said in responding to some iiI-natured re-
mark uttered against Mr.. Lee "I'leamed

"Very handsome indeed, sirn' was the

''Then, sir,p replied Lee, 81 beg you will
request her TO be in court, and in a place
where she can be seen.
The attorney promised compliance, aud
the lady, in accordance with Lees wishes,
took her seat in a conspicuous place. Lee,
in addressing the jury, did not fail to Insist
with great warmth on the "abominable cru
city" which had been exercised toward the
"lovely aud confiding female" before them
in working up their feelings to the desired
point. The counsel on the other side how
ever, speedily broke the spell with which
Lee his learned friend, in describing the
graces and beauty of the plaintiff, had mot
mentioned one fact, namely, thai the lady
had a wooden leg The ccnrt was con-

The Effect Of Sherman'S March.

cribs, agricultural implements, gin houses,
clothing of women and children, and in
shorl all that lends TO make lie comforfa.
BILE was TuthIessly given TO he flames -
Cattle, horses, hogs, sheep and goals were
destroyed. Nothin2 was spared but life
Thank God. amid the universal ruin, one
thing was exlrpaled, root aud branch,
which amply compensates for all other loss
We mean The idea of reconstruction.
Wherever the hostile Tread OF Sherman's
leglong passed, all hopes, and thoughts,
and desires OF Reconstruction were ramped
out of existence. The logic oil the bayo
net and the rhetoric Of the incendiary con-
vinced the most conservative" that nSth-
ing remained 10 the people OF the South but
triump mph or degradation, which would make
life intoersbe. By the light of his burn
ing dwelling, re6ecling on the pale and
frightened faces Of his vile and ctildren,
the conservative" saw the true object OF
the war and the real points at Issue The
flames which consned The labors of liie-
time, purified The political atmosphere and
klndied III The heart Of the sufferer, the fires
OF Pa,rioiism. There lives no man who
can see bjs roofiree burus3 his lands d-v
sslated, his properly s:olen. his vile and

without resolving IN revenge.
But greater wrong than those enu merated
has been Perpelratsd by the hounds tha
follow the footsteps of Sherman Wome
pnre and -potless, have been violated. The
people OF Georgia have had the bnerest
cup OF misery placed 10 their lips, and been
made 10 drain it TO the dregs. They have
