Sident's policy is as to whether he viii falteT

RULES OF DoG-FIGHTNG.-The Chicago
Republican devotes a column of ''solid non,
pareil' to dog-fght. Our space being
limited, we copy but single paragraph:
Then McCloskey and Jennings went
through the important and somewhat per-
ilouS process of tasting" their dogs. This
precautionary measure consists in getting
down on the kaees and applying the tongue
TO the dog on the breast and between the
shoulders, i'll order to convince the other
side that he is clean, and that no poison has
been applied externally for the purpose of
injuring the other dog if he should bite here.
Each man has the right to require the other
to taste" the dog in any part that he may
indicate.

Stevens'S project for DISTINGUISHING the white
men of the South and eonfiscating their
property. To require the South thus to kiss
the rod that smites an evidence of loyalty
is to require what human nature in its most
meek and gracious state has never achieved
1t is very much like the old-fashioned test
applied TO converts --they could not be saved
till they were willing to be damned. And
yet this is the gist of great deal of the prev
alent denunciatiOn OF the South The ar
ticles copied from Southern papers as evil
dence of disloyalty are chiefly diatribes
against the Northern extremists, who seek
the further punishment and humiliation of
the South The same papers avow their
earnest purpose to obey the Constitution and
laws, to accept all the results ofthe war. and
to conduct in every respect as good citizens
of the United States Pollard's low abuse
of the Virginia women who dance with
Union officers is provoking enough, but it is
not treason, and the suppression of his Rich
mond Examiner was n mistake that the
President did well to correct. What the
Government needs to do in the South is not
to suppress disloyal speech and writing, but
to maintain freedom Of speech and the press
