The CAREER OF A MILITARY VILLAIN.--A
correspondent Of the New York Times, gives
an account Of the reasons for the
removal of Brevet Brigadier General Wild,
Of Massachusetts, from the superintendent
of the Freedmsn's Bureau in Georgia, as
given by General S,eadman, military com.
mander of that Department. lie says:
HE fallaciousy and miscbevously went
to work to educate and elevate the black
man with an utter disregard of the feelings
and rights of the wtita race, who at least
had claims, if only as equals. He mounted
body Of black men, vi ho rode at large over
the country and committed excessess of the
most Infamous character. The people gem
orally suffered at the expense of every man
who had black face. A perfect reign Of
terror was rife; everything became unsettled
and an implacabIe hatred between the two
races was the natural offspring. He not on
y did not cooperate with the commanding
general, but zealousy worked to clog bis Of
forts in all particulars. Two outrageous
acts Of Gen. Wild are brought to notice.
For some alleged reason or other, he caused
an old gentlemen weighing over 200 pounds
to be tied up by the thumbs until the entire
| flesh was torn from his bones. Only few
days before Gen. Wild was relieved he ar.
rested two Of the first ladies of the country,
had them stripped naked and examined by
two colored women, an indignity have
never heard before during the war. When
Gen. Tilson took charge, the direst disorder
prevailed, and nearly sixty thousand indo-
lent blacks were being kept and supported
by the Federal commission.

A Sweeping Charge.

Radical wing Of the Republican party, brings
most sweeping charge against the Caifor.
MIA Senate. 1t alleged that $lOo,OOO were
used by the bankers and others Of this city
to prevent the repeal Of the Specific Contract
Law, S34 900 Of this sum was paid to seven
Senators and $4,000 to the Lobby. The
negotiations we're had through somewhat
noted lobbyist" The paper referred to says
"this information comes to US in shape that
induces US to have no doubt that there were
seven subsidized scoundrels named among
those who voted to strike out the enacting
clause Of Mr.. Smiths bill, and it will not
surprise US to hear of their Identification and
exposure"
Now we are we'll aware that the paper in
question is somewhat in the habit of ;ndulg-
ing in sweeping, and often, reckless charges,
but we cannot believe that, in a matter Of
such gravity, it is striking out like blind
pugist, at random. At any rate the charge
has been made under circumstances that can
not be disregarded by the Senate. 1t will
60 through different mediums to all parts oi
the country, and if not met. shave DANA
gng effect upon the reputation Of the State
1t is therefore the duty Of that body to have
speedy and thorough investigation of the
allegations. Especially should tho Demo
Gratis of that body demand its thorough ven'
tilation. They are few in numbers, and
stand like sentinels upon the outposts of the
common wealth. If this stupendous rascalty
has real existence, let them drag it forth
and expose it to public gaze. II is true Of
fetal peculation and robbery have, Of latter
years, been raised into the schedule of sci
ences. According to Black Republican
ethics, the bigger the thief, the more admi.
rable the official. But the day is near at
hand when men who prostitute and abuse
offics places Of trust and honor for the pur
pose of self-aggraudzemen will be driven io
digrace and confusion from the association
Of respectable people.
Let the editor Of the Flag, then, be at
once summoned before committee Of the
Senate, and made TO show upon what be
has based this most sweeping and, il true,
damaging charge. We can only hope, for
the honor of the State, that it is without
foundation; but hope with US and thousands
Of others can only be made conviction by q
thorough investigation.-S. r. Examiner.

"DEBAucHED PARsoNs."-Undert this head

ing severe but patent truths. Pity the Bul-

political Parsons, when it has been 80 long

tics, they have let loose the iercest passions
Of hell upon the country, and corrupted the
fountains Of legislation, wherever they had
voice or influence:
"Tbere does not exist more repulsive
spectacle than debauched parson. lie can

Of the common partzan and the venaIity Of
the vulgar broker in legislation, an indeina
bic spirit Of meanness and an JUNCTION Of
depravity that render him altogether unique.
Unlike the ordinary run Of sinners who do
naughty things because they are tempted he
seems to run to evil from pure love OF it.
He hungers and tbirsts after unrighteousness
with an avidity that astonishes and disgusts
even the most hardened political stagers.

pretty sure to turn speculator-n short,
wherever he is, you may count upon finding
a bad man without any Of those amable
traits that palliate villany. We have all
known such men and suffered from them.
They have made politics more corrupt, they
have made Legislation more vena| for their
connection with them. The church bushes
for them; the State is defied by them; society
justly regards them as among it's worst en-
emies."

Committee on Private Land Claims: Penn.
sylvauia, with larger popular vote than
New England, has the Chairman on the
Committee of Patents; neither the Pacific

standing committee. Thus does a purely
sectional clique, representing about ons.tenth
of the popular vote, manage to control the
legislation and patronage of the Federal
Government through those clauses Of the
Constitution which recognize State equality
and State sovereignty, while at the came
time they repudiate the "pernicious doctrine
OF State rights" whenever it interferes with
their selfish desgns. ......

A Letter from Gen. Sterling Price.

A copy ofthe following letter was address
ed to a gentleman Of St. Louis. It is dated
Cordova, Mexico, Dec 10th:
Dear Sir: Your kind and much esteemed
favor of the 10th ultimo was handed me a
few days since, and now proceed to answer
it, in camp and without shelter, but upon my
own $40 acres near the town of Cordova and
on the railroad leading from Vera Cruz to the
city Of Mexico. The lands in this vicinity
are not surpassed BY any Of the Platte lands
in fertility Of soil and in the finest climate
ever saw the thermometer never above ninety
degrees or below seventy, and 10 full view Of
mountains covered with perpetual snow.
am grstified to be able to say that as soon as
the survey was completed, the thirty confed-
crates now here unanimously rendered me
choice Of sections. think have made a
judicious selection. I'have donated to the
colonists twenty'four acres for town site, on
rushing stream Of water, and by large
spring Of excellent water. We have laid of
the ground into town lots, and named it Car
Iotta, after the Empress, and we are all now
upon our lots clearing away the brush to
erect our houses | write to my family to

the means to do so. cannot think of retu:.

cumstances. did all that my talents ena.
bled me to do to avert the calamity Of war.
was not a secessionist, but when the struggle
came did not hesitate to take the side Of
the South
pray to God that my fears for the future
of the South may never be realized; but when
the right is given to the negro to bring suit,
testify before Courts, and vote in elections,
you all had better be in Mexico.
There is no doubt of the stability of this
Government; French troops are arriving eve'
cry week, and the maraudiug bands that
have infested the country for ages past are
fast being extermiuated; no quarters are Civ.

When the character of our lands is we'll
