A Good Suggestion from an Old Soldier.

10 the Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer -
The radicals in and out of congress have for
months past advocated the establishment of mill
tary posts in the southern states, because in one
or two instances some obstreperous lieutenant or
other subaltern in command of negro troops has
been insulted by irresponsible parties, which
these radicals have construed into self-evident
treason in the communities where these solitary
circumstances have occurred.
Now, the President of the United States,
accompanied by his cabinet, has been, on several
occasions, since his departure from the seat OF
government, grossly insulted by responsible par
ties, including the organized governments OF
several large cities; would he not be justified on
his return TO Washington, in issuing his procla-
nation setting forth the facts that, as it appears
from his personal observations, the com
muQties of those several cities have not sufficient
loyalty to treat the chef executive officer of the
United States with due and becoming respect,
TO declare the said communities in state of in
surrection, and establish in each of said com.
munties military post of sufficient strength,
and with sufficient strigfent measures to bring
the these communities to a sense of the loyalty
due president of the United States, or any 9th.
er executive officer of the general government,
who may chance to visit their cities ?
1t is poor rule that will not work both ways

Mr.. Dead Duck Harding voted against the
soldiers bounty bill but there is one thing
for which the Dead Duck voted all the time.
He voted for the immortal Sambo, wool and
all. He voted that Sambo should vote; he
voted that Sambo should be supported in idle
ness by taxing the "poor white trash :" he
voted for Sambo's bureau he voted for Sam
bo's equal rights bill; in short he voted for
the niger all the time but when it come to
voting for the soldiers bounty bill, Mr.. Dead
Duck Harding couldn't stand it. His patri-
otto conscience rebelled against voting boun.

convention, at Pittsburg, in opposition to the
national convention OF soldiers and sailors
just held at Cleveland. Among the names
appended to their call there are not half a
dozen who attained eminence as fighting
men. Butler is there, and SO are Banks and
Burnside. If there was an officer, who, dur
ing the war, attained any notoriety tor being
q thief, or coward. or a cotton specuiator,
we can find his name in the call for the Pitts
burg convention.
IN the list as published there are several
names of men who are dead, and of others
who are simple lieutenants, but who are
stated major or brigadier generals. Among
those names which are probably genuine, not
one in fifty is distinguished save for lack of
ability, aud the greater number is of men
who LETT the army long before the conflict as
settled.
The true representatives of the army and
navy met at Cleveland and they endorsed the
President and sustain the government.
