The Wheeling Hteliyenca thinks that
our article under this heading was unjust.
We will therefore let that paper define its
position in its own words:
"What We objected to was the formation
of political organizations in the shape and
under the name and disguise of memorial
associations, which were intended not So
much to do honor tn the lost dead rs to
"the lost cause" We alluded 10 the in
ccndiary character of the appeals that
were made by these associations, 10 the
reasonable speeches made at their assem-
blages, and to the general fact that under
cover of the supposed privileges of these
organizations the southern heart was again
appealed To and fired up on behalf Of the
principles of the rebellion. If the Rich
mond Dispatch had cared to represent us
Alright the editor would have extracted
our remarks and then made his comments.
But when was an organ Of the rebellion
ever known to present the facts TO its
readers"
We take that to be rather lame de-
fence. To justify its appeal to the au-
thoritics, the hteAigence assumes that
Memorial Associations are political organ
izations. This is to beg the question. 1t
first SANDERS the ladies as politicians in
disguise, and then bases its appeal to the
law upon this SANDER. We are pleased TO
find that the h,teliiyencer has grace enough
left to be ashamed of its conduct.
Ben. BCTLER naturally thinks that every
reference to "spoons," made in his pre-
sence, is an insinuation that he pocketed
some in New Orleans which belonged to
other people. Whatever Of political
nature the Mteuigencer discerns in Memo
rial Associations doubtless owes its origin
10 a similar sensitivcness.

A FREE-TRADE RADICALS WALL" The
South is known to be opposed to the
tariff; but Messrs. Stevens and Morrill,
and the other prohibitionists have sue
ceeded in keeping the South out of Con-
gress, with the sole object, as it would
now appear, of thus securing the passage
of this atrocious tariff."-Nep York Eue-
ming Post.
The Post is a Radical paper of the old
fashioned Abolition school. We are glad
that the Yankees have feeced the west
ern and middle States by the new tariff
bill. "Perish commerce, perish trade"
but let New England live

ASYLUM FOR THE ORPHANS or CuAfE-
DERATE SoLDIERS.-A nohlc-heartcd lady
of Baltimore has proposed to raise by sub
scription a sufficient fund TO erect an asy-
lum for the orphans Of Confederate sol
dicrs, upon a condition that lot in this
city be donated upon which the building
may be located.
The Richmond Male Orphan Asylum
have had this oilcr under consideration,
and will meet tliS evening to discuss the
adyisability of granting for the Confederate
Orphan Asylum their vacant lot on FRANK
lin street, near the Fair Grounds. 1t Is
doubtful, however, whether the lot al their
disposal would be large enough, and there
are also other objections i'll the way. In
the first place, the Richmond Male Orphan
Society would be compelled to merge itself
entirely in the new asylum, thus losing Its
individuality and distinctive character
and as the new asylum will be for the en-
tire South, the incorporation with 1t OF
local undertaking might rctard its progress
and interfere with contributions for its
support.
The better plan would be for the city 10
donate lot for the new asylum. Some
wears since several lots were acquired by
the city TO be used as public parks, and
one of these, on the western slope ofLibhy's
Hill. bounded by Main and Franklin,
Twenty seventh and Twentv-ninth streets,
would be admirably adapted for the pur-
pose. The location is high, dry, and airy
and commands fine view OF the James
river and the surrounding country.
So many children i'll the southern States
lost their parents in the late war that the
question of educating and supporting them
is forced upon US as duty to the soldiers
of the South, and it is another proof of the
generosity and charity of Baltimore that
citizen of that city should have been the
first to propose plan for building an asy.
lum for the orphans of the fallen Confede.
rate soldier. A lot upon which to erect
the building will and must be given, and
il is only question as to who can give II
to the best advantage. As we have al
ready said, we think it far better that the
lot should be given by the city of Rich
mond.
