! The New York Tribune expresses
| great surprise that the Hon. DANIEL
w. VOORHEES,, of Indiana. should
prove himself a great liar. That fact
occasions no surprise out here, where
we have known him for years. Moth
ing he says occasions surprise, unless
it be when, by some mistake, he
speaks the truth. This does not
occur very often. The special lie
which surprised the Tribune was con-
tanned in the following paragraph, in
the recent speech Mr.. VOORHEES, de-
livered in New York City:
By the act of reconstruction the entire
black population of the South has been
enfranchised and invested with the power
of political control. Nearly the entire actite
population Of The South has been di.gratchts-
ed, and deprived of any voice in control
ing the present or shaping the future.
Thus about six hundred thousa ad negro
votes are added to the strength of the
Radical part, and nearly a milton Of ,0ttte
votes are stricken out Of existence.
\ The Tribune refutes the lie with
the tact that there are not two hun
dred thousand persons disfranchi
in all the South-we believe not one
hundred thousand. There are more
white than black voters registered in
the late rebel States. In Virginia
there are nearly twenty thousand
more, though still larger number
failed to vote at the late election. We
believe that nine-tenths of these are
at heart Republicans, deferred from
voting by the proscriptive power and
influence of the aristocracy. Every
white who was registered could have
voted if he chose; and the whites
might have voted down Convention,
though every black voted for it; yet
the Convention is carried by an i'm
mense majority, because at least
1900 whites voted for it, while twice
as many failed to vote at all.

The Man IN THE IRON CAaE--The
Military Commission, which has had
before it Sheriff Jesse G. Griffith, of
Caswell County, N. c., who was
charged with maliciously confning
VIM. NJ. johnson in an iron cage, has
rendered its decision, and acquitted
the prisoner. Johnson is the man
who, according to General Sickles'
late speech, took a loaf of bread to
save himself from starvation, and was
cruelty locked up in an iron cage,
without fire, clothing, or any comfort
but n long iron chain. He was n
glorious martyr, and the brutal sheriff
was to be punished as he deserved.
The case has been fully investigated,
and the result is that sheriff Griffith
is promptly discharged. Perhaps,
Johnson would like to do n little po-
litical lecturing on his own account.
He might succeed where others have
failed, and could not do worse than
those who have preceded him.
