Loyalty Is Not Love.


AS far as we can understand the
term ttloyalty''-which, by the way,
has no business in the political die
tionary of q Republican Govern
ment-it means simply, in its present
American sense, the maintenance of
the Constitution and obedience to the
laws framed under it. It betrays
itself in no senseless alteration of
ssthe Union," or in the utterance of
mawkish sentiments for "the ok
flag" What is called loyalty amongst
us, must be something mora fixed
principle in every heart, devoted to
the Constitution and laws of his
country.
These reflections are induced by
the following language used by Presi-
dent johnson, in one of the speeches
he made in New York city. He said:
"Who dares, in this day of politi-
cal and religious freedom, to set up
an inquisition and go into the human
timents? How many men have lived
under this Government all along,
from its origin up to the present
time, who have Loyalty obeyed the
Laws and paid their taxes, and aided
the Government in every way re-
quired of them, yet who perhaps
would have preferred to have had it
greatly modified in form, or even to
live under monarchy?"
d. Just so. Disloyalty does not con-
sist in an effort to reform abuses in
the Government, or even endeaxoring
to modify it in form; and as the
President justly intimates, no man
living i'll the sunlight of political and
religious freedom, has right to go
into the human breast to search for
motives, OF to erect inquisitions in
the form of test oaths. The best
citizens in the United States may not
be in love with all the institutions of
its Government; but so long as they
obey its laws, and contribute to its
maintenance and support, the odious
term of disloyalty cannot be properly
applied to them. Loyalty is not the
alteration of m emblem-it is the
honest yielding of allegiance and sup
port to the Government, and so has
our worthy Chief Magistrate defined
it in the above extract, and we thank
him for the definition.

Greeley ON H. w. Heecher,s Letter.

Greeley ON H. w. Reecher's Letter.
The conservative papers of New
York and the Southern press gene
rally, speak in very favorable terms
of the remarkable and able letter
from Henry Ward Beecher, publish
ed in yesterdays Ph@nir. The 7yi-
bune publishes in its columns-of
which it occupies two-an editorial,
which, to make it more impressive, is
signed ''H. G."
OF course, this article attacks the
letter and is odorous of the negro and
negro suffrage. AS to the way he
speaks of the pastor personally, our
readers may Judge from the following
extract:
'sMr. Beecher has achieved sud
den and wide popularity. In the
conception Of every blackleg, duelist,
negro-killer and rowdy, from the st.
John to the Rio Grande, he has all
at once ceased to be fanatic. a
bigot, disunionist, and become an
enlightened patriot and statesman.
His praises are freely mingled with
the blasphemies of the Hook and the
ribaldry of the Sunday Ofercm.y.
There is not in all the land, one who
considers 'niggers very we'll in their
place. but that place under the test
of the whites, who does not thank
him for his letter. The Thugs of
New Orleans are by this time enjoy
ing it, and Gen. Forrest would gladly
preside at a meeting, called expressly
to ratify it. But there is sadness in
many hearts where the eloquent
pastor of Plymouth Church has been
loved and honored-a mournful con-
sciousness that they have trusted too
confidingly and loved unwisely.
Little children, keep your hearts
from idols. ."
Those of our readers who may
have noted Mr.. Beecher's letter, will
readily perceive that Greeley falsifes
the writer's language and sentiments,
and that his reply is simply COM
pound OF radical ribaldry and spite.
We are somewhat surprised at this, as
from his recent conduct and notes.
written concerning Mr.. Davis i'm
prlsonment' that Greeley, now that
emancipation has been effected. was
becoming somewhat sound of mind.
butwe are sorry to see from the above
that he is still afflicted with Niger
on the brain. With Greeley, how
ever, we do believe negropholism is a
disease; while with Stevens, Sumner
and Brownlow, it is only used as q
pretext to cover hearts blacker than
the skin of the African,

ga Startling Fact"

The Western and North western
papers chronicle, as -'a startling fact"
tho belief that with the termination
of the war in Europe, their market
for breadstuffs in England is gone;
and that while the news will not be
unpleasant to consumers Of flour at
the present high rates, it will awaken
the farmers OF the great Northwest
to the necessity Of finding a market
for their produce in some other direc-
ton. With n decline in the demand
for American breadstuffs in two years
of ninety per cent, the demand for
Russian wheat has trebled, and that
of France has increased six-fold.
Our Northwestern neighbors need
not despair of finding market on
this side, if they cannot on the other
side of the Atlantic The South will
need all their surplus, beyond that
exported to South American mar
kets. And in selling to us at reason
able rates, they will have the gratifi-
cation of aiding in work of benevo-
lencc to people whose interests, as
opposed to New England radicalism
and high taxation, arc identical with
theirs. And while they will get what
they consider fair prices for their pro-
duce-but with US esteemed low
figures-they would doubtless be in
strumental in reducing other articles
consumed as food, and which are
generally governed by the ruling
rates of corn and other breadstuffs.
The desolated and impoverished
South will need u large supply OF the
staff of life this fall and winter, if we
cali approximate her need by the
scarcity in our own little State, and
we trust the grain producers of the
west will not be exorbitant in their
prices nor niggardly in their ship
ments to the land of Dixie.

The SUIT AGAINST SANTA Anna
The case of l.. nj. Montgomery
against Gen. Santa Anna came up
again Saturday, before Judge Ber-
nard, in Chambers of the Supreme
Court, New York. A motion is now
made to vacate the order of arrest
granted against defendant in the pre-
sent suit. Montgomery claims to
have been the agent of Santa Anna
i'll his latest Mexican scheme, and now
asks $50, 200 for service rendered.
During tho reading of the affidavits,
Judge Bernard handed an anonymous
letter to counsel which he had re-
ccived, Offering him bribe in case he
determined the questions before him
in favor of Santa Anna.

ESCAPE OF FENIANs. Murphy
and five other Fenian prisoners es-
capped from the Jail at Cornwall, Ca
NADIA, on Saturday night, and made
good their retreat into the United
States. The Jail, whichis one of the
strongest in Canada, was surrounded
night and day by double line of
sentinels, and the escape is regarded
as almost miracle, unless, as is hint
ed, it was effected by the connivance
of the Government. The prisoners
cut through the walls and disappeared
under cover of the night and a heavy

A WAR ON WoMAN-During the
war, the Roman Catholic Sisters of
Charity in the Border States minis
tered to the comfort of Confederate
and Union soldiers alike-whether i'm
hospital or camp. Their Christian
education and training prohibited
them from making any distinction.
Now the radicals out in Missouri
have placed under arrest some of
these Sisters for not taking an oath
substantially affirming that they have
never given aid and comfort to an
enemy-in other words, that they
never gave cup of cold water to q
dying Southern soldier; that they
never cooled his fe-ered brow, never
wrote letter for him to friend or
relative far away; never said prayer
for him on his dying bed-never, in
short, did any act of Christian kind
ness to fellow mortal in extreme dis
trcss. Or course, the nuns spurned
that oath, and have given bonds to
appear and answer at the next Circuit
Court of Cape Girardeau. AS the
radical seem to have pretty much the
control Of judges and jury all, in un-
happy Missouri, it would not be at all
surprising if the Sisters should be
found guilty, and dealt with accord
ingly: AS Methodist, Episcopal,
Baptist and Presbyterian Ministers
have been sent to Jail, why should
Sisters of Charity escape?

Facts VS.. Theories.

"Give me place to rest nv lever
on. said Archimedes, "and I will
move the world GIVE me pure and
unadulterated drugs" said Medicus.
OF the olden time, seand will cure
disease"
In one sense, both of these learned
pundits were the veriest charlatans.
They knew there was no place to rest
their lever on, either to move the
world or cure disease. Mechanism
was in backward state, and the me-
dical profession was but another name
for sorcery, and all the adjupcts of
magic filters and charms of the s'evil
eye," &c.
But these latter days have borne
unto us something: more than even
superstitution and its crew ever
dreamt of in their maddest philoso-
ply. In these days of practical
science, what was theory of yesterday
is fact to-day, and all the old time
notions become as bubbles in the
sun, and burst and break with every
breath we draw.
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever,
and we will find resting place for it
to move the world. Let mine ancient
Medicus pant and toll no more for
the drugs he 80 sorely needs, for we
have them at our hand, ever ready to
serve them at his beck.

Economy or Labor.


says that, while contending with
evils predicted as inseparable from
sudden emancipation, the Southern
people have had, at the same time,
to repair their broken fortunes. This
is true, and the Southern people now
see and feel, more than they have ever
done before, that they are dependent
on their own personal exertions. 1t
may be taken for granted that labor
will be scarce and unreliable for some
years to como. In referring to this
subject, the Richmond Enquirer says
that the present adults, with their
habits of toll, are doing tolerably
well; but even they will decline, while
children now growing up in idleness
to very great extent, will be far in
ferior to their parents.
This is matter for grave rchec-
ton, and should induce all to train
up the members of their families to
habits of industry. Labor is not de-
grading, and if the Southern people
hope to succeed, all-in every station
of life-must do their part. The lives
of luxury and Incidence heretofore
led by many of the young men and
women of the Sonth, must give place
to active industry; for if we seek to
return to former habits, with indica-
tons Of returning prosperity, we will
remain poor and dependent people
forever.
In relation to the economy of labor
on the farm and in the household, the
Richmond Enquirer says:
''On the farm, the same economy
of labor should be practiced. Labor
saving machines should be sought
after The lands must be more care
fully cleaned and improved, so as to
secure the largest yield with the least
labor. Poor and rough lands will be,
to a great extent, thrown out of cult
vation, as not afording it. On all
grass kindergarten attention ought to
be given 10 the raising of stock of all
descriptions, as requiring fewer hands
and as bringing into advantageous
use tracts too rough or foul for profit
able cultivation. Those citizens who
are most apt and sagacious in adapt
ing their household arrangements and
their farming and other operations to
the diminution and the greater cost
Of labor, will be quickest to recover
from the present difficulties, and sur
round themselves with comfort
eve take particular interest in
noticing all those contrivances and
shifts which our citizens are gradually
adopting for economizing labor, cspe-
cially in the domestic arrangements
of our country dwellings. The chief
inconvenience of the loss Of servants
falls on the ladies, and more espc-
cially on those in the country, for the
reason that the negroes are prone to
crowd into tho cities for hire, and
for the further reason that farm
houses cannot usually command city
conveniences."
We hope the Southern people will
have sufficient nerve and sagacity to
work out the great problem which the
change that has come over them i'm
poses rs duty and necessity.

The alleged advance of Confede-

we heard through the cable, is thus
explained by the New York Herald:
a few days since, the statement was
sent over the cable that the State
bonds of those States which were re-
Gently in rebellion had advanced in
price in London, as one of the results
of the late Philadelphia Convention.
The despatch was here given out with
the declaration that the rebel bonds
had advanced in price. AS matter
CT course. the radical press were de-
lighted with this change and at once
attempted to make political capital
out of it. The bonds referred to
have no connection with the so-called
Confederate debt, and are as different
in their character as the bonds of the
State of New York are from United
States -twenties.
