Radical Morality.

That party now distracting the
country commenced their nefarious
campaign quarter of century ago,
by designating the Constitution of
this country as "covenantwith hell, "
denouncing the Bible because it did
not enioin the abolition of slavery,
and even blasphemed against Jeho-
vah. Time has not improved their
morals, as in n speech made by Ste-
vens, the other day, just before the
constitutional amendment was passed,
he expressed the wish that the S,OO0,-
600 of the people of the South We're
consigned to the penitentiar.7 Of hell,
and kept there by bayonets.
It would be charitable to believe
that this fanatical leader is of unsound
mind, or possessed of devils. Whittier
are we drifting in morality as well as
in politics, under the teachings and
leadership of such men? Such a
speech as this, duly reported, printed
and scattered over the face Of the
earth, must make its author infamous.
But it is not alone the disgrace such
utterances bring upon our nationality
and legislation; there is still more
baleful influence that may be exer-
cised by this profanity. We allude
to the effect such readings will have
upon the minds of the young. These
debates, if not read now by them,
when in permanent form, they will be
read hereafter as pert and parcel of
the history of this stirring period in
our country's history. Violence and
profanity in the utterances of our
public men, tend, in q high degree, to
corrupt the morals of the whole COM
munity, and thus, when the passions
of the mob are infamed, the restraints
of virtue are snapped like wisps of
straw, and atheism, red repubGcanism
and agrarianism will sweep the last
vestige of liberty of the country.

How a CorrEEHEAD IN ILLINOIS
TALKS TO THE RADICALS. The editor
Of the Alton Democrat thus talks to
the radicals:
Owe called, the other day, upon
President Johnson, and requested
the removal from the post Office, in
this city, of Mr.. Emery, editor of the
radical organ, the Peorio Transcript,
and the appointment of Hon. Isaac
Cnderhlll in his stead, who is a true
Union man, sound patriot, and,
withal, n good Johnson man. This
Is the beginning of this District, but
not the ending. Every radical Fede-
raj oftice-holder will be called upon to
vacate III q similar manner before the
setting Of another August sun. We
now give notice to our radical friends
that our day is coming, and while we
propose to be lenient with them, ex-
tending in all cases full freedom of
speech and the press, but one thing
they can't do, and that is, use cream
drawn from the public teat to smite
the hand that milks it into their
mouth. Take notice. gentlemen, and
be governed accordingly"

An incident connected with the
Baltimore fair develops the fact that
IN that city, whose people, and whose
ladies especially, have covered them
selves with renown for their hercu-
lean efforts in behalf of the Southern
poor, there was one man-no, not
man, but a heartless wretch-who,
when the committee of ladies waited
on him for subscription in behalf
of the objects of the fair, replied in
this strain: What" said he, roughly,
"give money to the rebels! I shall
do no such thing-they have not suf-
fered half enough. Let them suffer
more
Would our readers believe that this
creature is wealthy, and, moNeover, a
prominent member of u church in
that city? Let his name be written
and go down to infamy-Thomas
kelso; and while gratitude induces
the people of the South ever to speak
OF Baltimore and her people with the
hveliest emotions of esteem and re.
gard, let the name Of this miserable
exception never be spoken of but in
terms Of execration. Pass him around.

va,uable Forthcoming Work.

"The Lost Cause; New Southern
History of the War of the Confede-
rates." by E. A. Pollard, of Virginia.
This the title which MIR. P. has given
his volume, and the advance sheets
we have received give evidence, on
the part of the publishers, Messrs. E.
b. Treat & Co., New York, that the
work will be got out in the finest
style of the art. The paper is fine
and the Typography excellent, and
besides, the volume will be illustra-
ted with fine steel engravings of the
late Confederate Generals.
Mr.. Pollard, in circular note, re-
quests us to- say the work advertised
by G. B. Richardson, of New York,
as ''Pollard's revised edition of the
Southern war, is nothing more than
some old annals put heretofore to-
gether under the title of 'F'irst Year
of the War" and its publication is
not authorized by him. ''The Lost
Cause" published by Treat & Co., 6,
IS the genuine work upon which he
has been engaged some time, and
which will shortly be put forth in the
style alluded to- Readers had better
examine when the works are put in
the market.
Robert Wilson, Esq, of Charles
ton, S. c., is the agent for this valu-
able work.

GOVernnnc Liberality.

In Alabama, in two or three Dis
trcts Of our own State, and in Will
mington. \. c., the Government,
through its officers, has ordered ra-
tions to be dispensed to the INDECENT
poor within their respective iurisdic-
tons. We presume the order to be
general throughout the South; and as
1t embraces the INDECENT poor of both
white and black, it reflects great Gre
dit on those in authority at whose
instance it may have been issued.
The Assistant Commissioner Mt Will
mington has, further. received in
structions to assist the small farmers,
and to supply those who are unable
to purchase with seeds, &c. This is
praiseworthy effort to aid these who
need assistance, and on whose labor
much depends in the production Of
future supplies. This extension of
the operations of the benevolent in
stitutlons of the Govern ment will
meet with general approval

1nnamou. Behavior OF Negro Troops.

The following facts are furnished
by one of the conductors of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad.
(Mr. Fowler,) who obtained them
from another conductor (Mr. Tighe)
who was himself an eyewitness Of
what is here related:
Last Thursday week (April 19)
about 150 negro troops were trans
ported over the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad from Tuscumbia to
Huntsville. Before starting, many
Of these colored soldiers loaded up
their guns, and, on the way, were
constantly amusing themselves by
firing from the windows of the cars,
unchecked by their white officers, at
any white people that might come
within range of their vision. They
deliberately fired at man ploughing
IN the fields, between CORTLAND and
Decatur, but fortunately missed him.
But it was at Leighton, a hag-station
n few miles West of Courtland. that
they perpetrated their greatest enor-
mity-one Of those now oft-recur-
ring outrages which are so well cal
culated to set on fire the passions of
Southern men and make them per-
tectly ruthless in their hatred toward.
not only the criminal negroes, but
also the bad white men who have de-
1uded the ignorant blacks in the
belief that they are now the ruling
race, and that vengeance is duty.
At Leighton, one of these black
devils saw a lady-Mrs. Osborne
king-standing on the balcony of
her residence, with her infant child
IN her arms, about $50 or 200 yards
from the moving train, whereupon he
raised his gun, and pointing it
through one of the windows of the
car, took deliberate aim at the lady
and fired. The ball struck Mrs.
Kings thumb, tearing off the nail,
passed on through the clothing of the
child, and lodged in the heshy part
OF the ladys arm, inficting severe
and most painful wound After the
perpetration of this hellish enormity.
a negro sergeant, who was present in
the same car, was heard to approve
the deed, and cried out, Keep on
shooting, boys, if you want to; don't
shoot at anybody in particular, but
keep on shooting. 'Twon't make
any difference if you do kill few of
the - secesh. The white officers
of the train of course heard the
shooting which was going on at in
tervals all the way from Tuscumbia
to Huntsville, but they made not the
least effort to put stop to it; on
the contrary, they seemed to enjoy
the sport
Now, we would like to ask General
Thomas and general everybody-else
who has authority in this country,
how long this sort of thing is to CON
tinue nnwhipt of justice

A correspondent, who is unnecessa-
rily exercised about the burlesque
..charge" lately delivered by Judge
Underwood, falls into the amusing
error Of comparing that parsonage to
Lord Chancellor Jeffeys, of unsavory
notoriety, and asks us to state what
was the fate of that celebrated judicial
ruffian.
Jef1reys was coarse, brutal tyrant,
who delighted in bloodshed, but he
was sound lawyer, and too able to
be laughed at Like all judicial ruff
fans, Jeffreys' end was miserable
one. Gods curse is upon all such
creatures, and there is no instance Of
Nemesis having overlooked a corrupt
and merciless Judge.
When James II fled, after the ruin
Of his cause, Jeffreys also became q
fugitive. As he was the most odious
OF all the parasites and tools of the
fallen monarch, all of his associates
in crime marked him for the atoning
scape-goat. OF all the hated mem
bers of the defeated party, the mob
was most anxious for the blood of
Jetfreys; for i'll al nature there is
nothing so abhorred as wicked and
corrupt judge. Everybody clamored
for the Immediate execution of JEFF
freys. Frightened ont of his wits by
the yells of the populace, the infa-
nous Lord Chancellor disguised and
hid himself at small house at Wap-
ping, hoping to escape beyond the
sea. He shaved off those savage eve
brows, which made his aspect so
hideous, and put on the dress Of
sailor. Thus disguised, he visited an
ale-house. While there, in his sail
ing accoutrements, he was recognized
by an unfortunate scrivener, who
had been the victim of Jeffreys bru-
taGty in his day of lawless powefA
The man had not forgotten the terroi$
OF the ruffian's countenance, and pro-
claimed his presence. The infuriated
mob rushed in. That the fugitive
was not at once torn to pieces, limb
by limb, must be ascribed to kind
Providence, which interfered to give
him few months respite. He was
with great difficulty rescued from the
mob, who had torn his clothes and
pummelled him terribly. In the
presence of the mob, the brazen, ju-
dicial bully became a most arrant
coward, and begged for his life like
dos. He was removed to the Tower
under strong guard, the mob fol
lowing him like famished wolves
greedy for his blood, and exhibiting
hundreds of whips and halters to his
Mortified eyes. The poor wretch did
nothing but cry ont piteously to the
guard, ';For the Lords sake keep
them off. For the Lords sake keep
them off. ~ When lodged in the Tower.
5000 widows and orphans, whose
husbands and children Jeffreys had
caused to be hanged and quartered,
petitioned for his execution. Jeffreys
lived few weeks, and then died IN
the Tower, raving fllriously like
wild beast. He never recovered, it il
said, from the terror and personal
violence Of the mob. He was but
forty-one years of age at the time OF
his death, and was person of extra

The LORD MAYOR OF LONDON on

House, London, the Lord Mayor paid
this eloquent tribute to the President
of the United States:
Passing to the great American
Republic, he (the Lord Mayor need
scarcely say, in the presence of this
distinguished representative, with
what emotion the people of this
country watched the struggles of the
past, and with what Joy and gladness
they hailed the glorious return to
peace and happiness. Hear, hear]
Not this country alone, but the whole
civilized world, deplored the lament
cd death of that able and distin-
guished statesman, Mr.. Lincoln.
Hear. hear. But he believed Pro

Llncoln's place there mad been raised
up man whose moral worth, cou-
rage, forbcarance and honesty must
prove the means of restoring to his
country the blessings of peace, pros
peritv and happiness. Cheers. No
man could have read the history of
the past without feeling deep regard
for the President of the United States.
and seeing in him the man who of ali
others was suited to the moment. was
blessed with power of mind, a spirit
OF conc1llatlon, a love OF Justice, ad-
mlratlon for truth, and, above all.
with that great combination of mercy.
charity and the truest philanthropy
which statesman could manifest
namely, an earnest desire to do that
which would tend to give security to
State and happiness to people.
Cheers. Let us hope that the hap
plness and prosperity Of the United
States would continue uninterrupted.
and that the friendly feeling and cor
dlallty that had ever existed between
the United States and this country
might also continue without inter

commerce, to the strengthening of
our friendship, to bless us with peace
and prosperity, and to shed lustre

Our Rebellion.

The Richmond Times stands up
bravely for the SUM cmique, and re-
fuses to allow the New York Herc.d
the privilege Of calling the Southern
rebellion sour rebellion. It claims
all its honors, and shoulders all its
responsibilities
We had thought that if there was
anything which We could call pecu-
harly our own-which we could say
was emphatically ours-it was the
rebellion, so-called. Yet there are
papers published North, and among
them the New York Herald, which
seem to be disposed to dispute our
possessory title as rebels The
Herald, in recent editorial, speaks
of the war of sour great rebellion"
and prides itself of the grand military
lessons which it taught, on the vast
ness of the armies and the magnitude
of the battles. 1t must be admitted
that the rebellion aOas big thing,
and many people living near to the
Herald made much money and some
reputation thereby. But it strikes us
as unequivocally cool that they should
be terming our rebellion theirs, and
thus manifesting disposition to
share with us the "odium" which
they would have us believe is involved
in this great affair
We think that, without any vanity
or arrogance, we may claim that the
rebellion was ours; and whatever
fame or odium is attached to the un-
dertaking, we are unwilling to divide
the former, or to shrink the latter.
We wish it to be distinctly under
stood that we recognize the claim of
no one to the rebellion" except that
Of those who inaugurated and carried
it on. And the Herald, in speaking
OF it as "our great rebellion" appro-
PIRATES property to which it has no
shadow of right. But it has this
much interest in the concern-that
in common with many other journals
it did much of the work in its columns
which created the war If this is
what the Herald means, then we
frankly admit the propriety of it's
claim, and are willing to advance it
to very high seat in the "rebellious"
synagogue-that used to be.
