ARREST OF THE MEXICAN GEN. ORrEo

ARREST OF THE MEXICAN GEN. ORTEaA
Gen. Sheridan, it appears, has lost no
time in acting upon the sentiments express
ed in his letter of instructions to the United
States officer in command of the Browns
vile district, relative to the factions contend
ing for supremacy in Republican Mexico.
He has caused Ortega to be arrested, there
by preventing that General from crossing
the Rio Grande into the State of Tamau-
awaiting his arrival This action of Gen
Sheridan is in strict accordance with the
policy of the United States Government,
which recognizes Juarez as the legitimate
President of Mexico. 1t is stated that he
acted under instructions from Washington.
Ortega has protested; but the moral effect
of his arrest will be fatal to his cause.

The Chicago Times article on negro suf-
frage, following so closely on the determine
tion of the Catholic Church to elevate the
social condition of the negro, to take him
into church fellowship and accept him as an
equal before God, is a staggering blow to
the attitude of the less informed portion of
the Copperheads. Hatred of the negro
and denial Of his rights, alike in politics and
religion, is the animating sense of modern
Democracy. If the Chicago Times and the
Catholics succeed in their purposes, the
Democratic party will be no more

Come to Grief.

1t would seem that Mr. William A. Wal
laces State Committee, which its friends
alleged ''had not enough money to pay the
expenses of his printer is not the only
Bogus Democratic ''institution" that got
into financial trouble during the late politi-
cal campaign, for we see it stated that the
Democratic National Executive Commit
tee is short at least $50, 900, and that re
pudiation' will be resorted to as the easiest
mode of getting rid of its liabilities 1t
appears further that all the johnson political
clubs at Washington city have likewise come
TO grief; the Sheriff having levied upon the
furniture of Young Mems National Union
Club, the Conservative Army and Navy re-
mains, and the johnson Department Club,
for arrears of rent. Owing to this state of
affairs, all sorts of hard swearing, crimina-
ton and recrimination, have been INDUCED
in, and if half be true that the members of
these various committees and clubs charge
| upon each other, they must be precious
set of tricksters indeed. There is an old
saw to the effect that when rogues fall out
honest men will get their own but We
doubt whether, in the case of these ''con-
sentative party operators, the adage will
prove correct.

GOVERNOR WELLS, of Louisiana, it is sta
ted, will demand of the military authorities
in that State the arrest of numerous persons
accused of numbering Union men within the
past four months, including, we presume,
such as took active part in the New Orleans
massacre, whom the civil authorities, with
bold defiance OF justice, have thus far failed
OF refused TO prosecute. This action will
test Gen. Grants order No. Al. and if it is
huiiifed, will throw the responsibility of

son. The Union men of Louisiana imna-
tient of Rebel tyranny and rule that pives
them no protection, will petition Congress

A RADICAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
VS.. HROWELOW.

BEAST BUTLER delivered a speech at To-
ledo, Ohio, on Tuesday last, in which he was
very personal towards BRowNLow aud his
DISTINGUISHING followers in Tennessee. He
was evidently endeayoring to wipe out the
moccasin tracks Of the "loyalists " SO far
as this State is concerned. On the question
Of sufTrage, among other things he said:
"If any State makes alaw which excludes
majority other citizens from the right Of
suffrage. that law can be dealt with by Con-
gress, because it abridges the true idea of
American freedom-the right of citizen to
make his own laws and elect his own rulers
and conflicts with the constitutional re-
auirement that State shall have repubii-
can form Of government. If majority OF
the citizens Of a State were disfraRchised,
that government would be an oligarchy and
not a democracy. Let me illustrate. Sup
pose that the State of Rhode Island should
passa law that nobody shsuld vote in that
State who did own two hundred acres OF
land. You see that long before majority
of the citizens could qualify themselves, the
land would be used up. lApplahsel Now,
then, | think that Congress would come IN
in that instance and say: You have made
an oligarchy, and not democracy, and we
will regulate that, because you deprive
American citizens Of the privilege of voting.
Bot you see that would be an equal quail
fcation-every man who could attain to il
would have the right TO vote-but it would
be Just qualification, because the majority
of the citizens could not attain to it"

nROMNL0yY NOW AND TIIEN.

This notorious individual has recently
announced that if he has to go to the devil he
prefers the society of "loyaa" negro to
that Of a white "rebel." This is in harmo-
ny with the doctrine of natural affinity
upon which the doctrine of free love il
based. BRowNLow, however, did not al
ways express such love for the Yankee or
the negro. A friend from one of the rural
districts, who used to be subscriber to the
New York lEUening Post, has clipped the
following from number of that paper, Of
1859, and sent it to US for publication. Il
contrasts strikingly with his recent declara-
tons up North:
"PARsoN BRowNLOw AND HIS Coz
FIN.-Among the notables present at the
late mass meeting in Dynchburg, Virginia
called to express the opinion OF the people
of that section in relation to the Harpers
Ferry raid, was the well known Parson
BRowNLow. His remarks on that occasion
were characteristic. A reporter, in noticing
the speech, says /" it was intensely South
ern," and represents the Parson as saying
he would rather be with the South in
Pandemonium than with the abolitionists
in Heaven" The Parson also remarked
that he intended to give his family instruc-
tions not to bury him in a Yankee coffin
but if in case of an emergency, they should
be forced to do so, that they must leave both
ends open, so that when the devil or alb
litionists came at one end he could crawl
out at the other"

CHEAP PAPERS.

ave put to the sheet in question this in
terrogatory: What general or special dis
credit is there in publishing cheap paper
or what general or special merit in publish,
ing a high priced one? A categorical an
swer is requested. - Cheap Evening Sheet. y
The general or special merit in publishing
high priced one, consists in the fact that
it is able to pay for the dispatches furnished
its readers; while the general or special
discredit in publishing cheap paper" con-
sists in the fact that it is compelled 70 pilfer
the dispatches purchased by its city cotem-
poraries and palm them off as Selected
Dispatches"
Selected dispatches, proper, are those Ia
ken from other papers at random, but not
such as are appropriated bodily by "cheap

THE NEXT GOVERXORsHIP.

A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal
ventiIates his views upon this subject, and
associates with the next Governorship the
names Of Col. THos. A. r. NELSON, Hon.
EMERSON ETHERIDGE. Ex.Gov. VIM. B.
CAMPBELL, Hon. CAVE JOHNSON, Hon. Ed
dUND COOPER, and Hon. NAT. G. TAYLOR.
A correspondent: of the Memphis Bulletin,
on the same day, treats the same subject,
and brings forward the names of the same
persons with that of Col. JOHN WILLIAMS,
of Knox, whom he regards as the most pref
cradle.
Upon this subject we have nothing to add
to our remarks Of a day or two since. We
are thoroughly satisfied that there will be
no trouble in selecting a standard-bearer for
the Constitutional Union cause, and there
will be as little in his triumphant election
by the people.
