MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

We learn upon high authority that Hughes,
the murderer who was hanged last Friday at
cleveland, was kept drunk for some time pre-
vious to the execution. This accounts for the
tomfoolery he uttered upon the scaffold, which
the reporters denominated "a speech" This
harangue was an iucoherent hotch-potch of re-
ligion, infdelity. Romanism, Professionalism,
Spiritualism-the latter predominating. How
sensible people can maunder and twaddle SO
much about the man and his punishment, who
was so utterly and evidently destitute of all
moral worth, is difficult to comprehend. There
is vast amount of worse than wasted sympa;
thy for criminals in these days, from JEFF Davis
and his thousands of co-adjutors to the wretch
who is guilty of single murder only. little
more wholesome regard for justice and the law
would improve public and private morals, and
conduce to the prosperity and stability of SOcie-
ty and the Republic.

Some of the new party organs are very hard
upon the "niggers" for presuming to ask en-
reimbursement. They charge the latter with
being already the recipients of special and ex-
traordinary aid from the Government, beyond
what they have a right to ask. "Why, the
Freedmen's Bureau is organized on purpose to
take care of you" say the new party men to the
'darkies, +" 'and what more can you askf" The
"colored delegation reply that, if allowed po-
litical rights, they can take care of themselves,
and win need no Freedmen's Bureau. The ".
?. Tribune psraphrases their position as follows:
The deplorable necessities of the Blacks re-
suit from their lifelong subsection to cruel So
cial and political disabilities. They have pro-
duced untold millions of wealth; but 99-l00ths
of it is the property of others. They have
earned all the education that the South has en-
ioyed; yet Whites have monopolized it all,
making it a crime to teach the children of the
producers. And, because of this systematic
robbery, the robbed are now taunted with their
ignorance, their dependence, their incapacityl
This is very unjust and very cruel.
Give the Blacks their honest due to-day and
they as a race would need none of your aims
Give them the equal rights of human beings
aud they will joyfully agree to do without your
special and peculiar" benefcence. The Freed
mems Bureau is very poor substitute for
equality before the Law; yet it is better than
nothing. Iyou shut q man up IN prison, you
are obliged to feed him; yet you are not apt to
taunt him with living on your bounty. Make
your laws impartial and just and then see if the
negro wants your ''eleemosynary aid" more
than others But, while you keep him legally
in cage, do not reprcach him with eating your

HIRE SOLDIERS.

We heartily endorse the following from the
NY. Tribsme. The people of this country
can never sufficiently express their gratitudet to
the noble soldiers who have saved our beloved
l1za from the rule of anarchy, rebellion and
desolation:
AS good many will soon be hiring help for
the ensuing year, we urge all who may want
labor to look about them and see if there be not
a Union volunteer in our great Civil War who
wants employment and, if there be, give him
the first offer. Especially, look sharply around
for one who has received some wound or injury
in the service who can yet be useful, and make
him a generous offer. In many cases man
who is manned, crippled or ruptured, can drive
team or do some other useful work, though
he can no longer swing a scythe or WELD an ak;
and a little care and forethought will secure
places to those wherein they can earn fair liv-
ing and main their self respect 1t is sad to
see soldier beg; it would be sadder still to
have him ask help and be refused, in land
which he has risked his life to save"
The Tribune says that 'at the Soldiers De-
pot, Nos 48 and so Howard street, in N. Y.
City, there are honorably discharged soldiers
able and willing to work, who have not yet
found employment. We urge every one who
wants help to give them a call before looking
elsewhere"

EDUCATION ron THE SOUTH.

The"American Freedmen's Aid Commission"
and the American Union Commission" have
resolved to consolidate their organizations, and
under the name of the American Freedmen s
Aid and Union Commission" to undertake the
stupendous task of educating all the unenlight-
ened classes of the South. This work will re-
quire at least $4,000 teachers and some millions
of books, not to mention other sources of ex-
pense. But it can be done; and let us astOnish
our readers by the announcement that it prob
ably ,Oi2 be approximately accomplished And
herein lies, after all, the hope Of the South
Educate her lower classes and Unionism and
loyalty will prevail there as in the Northern
States. This is the philosophers stone-the
mystery of Reconstruction. Educate and
Ohristianize the lower classes of the South, and
the rebellious aristocracy will lose its power
and prestige, and Union and Freedom become
the watchword of the people. Therefore, we
can afford to give aid and encouragement to the
American Freedmen's Aid and Union Com
mission,

THE PREsIDEETs POSITION.

In speech made by President johnson Oh
Saturday last to delegation of the Virgins
Legislature, he makes the following points:
/. The Union must be preserved.
.. The people of the South accept this doc.
txins.
3. All responsible positions and places should
be held exclusively by loyal men.
4. The Southern States should be represent
ed in Congress.
rs. The material prosperity of the country de-
msnds the restoration of the South to power. 2
6. No State can go out of the Union Of its
own will.
Z. The delegation is reminded that the mer
whom Southern rebels and Northern Copper
heads denounce as radicals are the very mer
who sustained the war and elected the Presi'
dent himself
Its to be hoped the Presidents definition o.
loyalty does not include such men as the major
ity of this same Virginia Legislature, and the
most of the representatives the Southern States
have as vet elected to Congress.

THE REBEL PIRATE, sEn1aIEs,

Has issued from his place of confinement q
protest against his arrest. 1t concludes with
the impudent assertion that whatever else may
be said of him, he has, at least, drought no
disgrace on the American name" The Cleve-
land Leader remarks that "the rebels, since their
defeat have not as general thing, displayed
much modesty; but this assertion of Semmes,
who was nothing more or less than common
pirate, is the coolest piece ofimpudence we can
call to mind. His exploits on the high seas
consisted of pOuncing upon unarmed merchant
vessels, and studiOusly avoiding men-of-war-
And yet it will not be strange ii the Democratic
press of the North attempt to justify his claim
TO be classed among those who have drought
no discredit upon the American name" as they
have attempted to invest that double traitor
Robert E. Lee with attributes of more than
common goodness. Why is it that men will be
such fools? -.

Mr.. Julian's BILL which passed the House the
other day by Il2 to %, is not bill to open
Southern lands to negroes exclusively. ItpFo7
vides that all the public lands of Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida
shall be disposed of according to the Home
stead Law of 1862, except that the entry shall
be for 50 acres instead of l6o. The sale or
lease of these lands is prohibited, and there is
to be no discrimination in the settlement OF
them on account of race or color. Such q
measure is urgently needed for the public vel
fare not less than for the welfare of any partic-
ular class 1t concerns each of these states that
the lands within their borders should be settled
and improved at an early day.

THE NATIONAL SHAME.

We cannot understand the national in
difference to that reeking pollution that
thrives in Utah. All accounts agree in
the tale of the demoralizing, besotting eff
fects of Norman polygamy. Against law
and against the moral instincts of the ma
ton, it insolently defes both and revels
and rots in its own corruption. 1t was
long ago called the twin sister of Slavery,
and its influence is only less deplorable be.

of our country would be little worse than,
