A False Charge.
his crimes.

THE New York Herald, which alternately
blows hot and cold-one day radical and the
next day onservative-emphasize its latest
summersault by very weak and unjust
attack upon our Southern citizens of African
descent because they did not raise servile
insurrection during the war. 1t says:--
ssNoA a single insurTection-noto one organized
blow for freedom-came from these slaves and
sons of slaves during four years of war that
taxed the utmost energies OF their masters.
They were held in bonds by men at war with
the nation, and they never added the weight
of one little effort from their own side to aid
the cause whose success was TO make them
free"
The Herald conveniently forgets that, during
the earlier years of the war, the negro received
no encouragement from our Government to
strike for himself. On the contrary, he was
distinctly given to understand that he must
remain at home in quiet subserviency to his
rebellious masters, and that any attempt at
insurrection against them would be promptly
suppressed by US. 1t seems almost incredible
now that we could have been guilty of such
Gigantic folly; but such was the fact For in
stance, take the following paragraph from one
of General McClellan's earlier prOclamations:-
Notwithstanding all that has been said by
the traitors to induce you to believe that our
advent among you will be signalized by inter
ference with your slaves, understand one thing
clearly-nOt only 'oiH zoe abstain from all such
interference, but zoe pOiH, the contrary, Nth an
ron hand crush any attempt at ins~rection or
their part" And this infamous sentiment was
not disowned by his superiors. Truly, the
negro would have showed very little sense hat
he. in the face of threat like this, gone int
an insurrection on his own account. Witt
a daapsr wisdom he bided his time, and trustee
in God.

Tours and Tourists.

THE arrival of autumn will bring with it the
return of many of the throng of tourists who
have fled across the ocean to "do" Europe
and see the Exposition. With them, we may
anticipate, they will bring fair supply OF
foreign nature, limitations of foreign ways,
and intense admiration for foreign scenery,
which are usually attached to the train OF
Americans who have been abroad. But we
doubt if any of them will have found nature
in greater glory than those of our fellow-citl-
zens who have been content to remain this
side OF the Atlantic, and admired the sights as
furnished by the old Keystone State. We DO
not intend to discuss the advisability of going
abroad, but we do wish to impress on our
readers the propriety of seeing what is
lovely within their reach, before they
seek new scenery across the sea.
To go to Europe, and then have to
confess an ignorance of the glories of our own
country, is a humiliation TO which too many OF
our American travellers subject themselves.
Our citizens do not seem to appreciate that

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The Attempt to Damage the Reputation

WAsHTNGToN. AUGUST l2.

WASHINGTON, August l1'
There is good deal of feeling here among
members OF all parties in reference to Weeds
recent assault made upon Mr.. Chase. 1t is un-
derslood that there is a combination, headed by
Inc infamous Thurlow Weed, for the purpose
OF destroying the Chief Justice as a possible

sertlons that he corruptly made an enormous

graph operations of the country. BY these
enterprises and his profession he accumulated

thing. Had we encouraged him to servile
insurrection, he could have made the South
second st. Domingo. But our Government
was too humane to call down upon the Rebels
a catastrophe like that, and the negro was too
wise to inaugurate it without our sanction.
We doubt whether the history of the world
can furnish parallel instance where a race of
slaves behaved with so much wisdom and true
prudence as did the slaves in this country
during the Rebellion.
1t is amusing to notice the change in style
and argument which the Herald undergoes as
it changes sides. When it takes the Repub-
lican side its arguments are sound, fair logical,
and powerful, while its style is robust, tren-
chant, and elevated. The moment it goes
over to the Democrats, it becomes tricky, un-
fair, and sophistical, and its style degenerates
into coarseness and brutality. 1t begins to
resort then to the device of forged letters-lilze
the pretended one in its issue day or two
since from ex-senator Harris-and its edi-
torials are filed with fallacies and false state
ments, like the one we have exposed to-day.
good cause ennobles the utterances even of
bad man who speaks in its behalf, while in
justice and wrong can only be defended by
sophistry and falsehood.

The suspension of Secretary stanton.


TIE President yesterday suspended" Mr..
Stanton from the Office of Secretary of War,
and appointed General Grant as Secretary ad
interim. This carries the matter over to the
assembling of Congress in November, when
the President must report the case, with the
reasons for his action, to the Senate, and if
they shall concur with him, then the removal
will become absolute; if not then Mr.. Stanton
will resume his position. AS there is no pre-
tense that Mr.. Stanton has been guilty of any
delinquency or malfeasance in Office, and as he
is removed really because of his fidelity to the
cause which the President has so shamefully
betrayed, it is very easy to imagine what the
action of the Senate will be. Before Congress
has been in session month, Mr.. Stanton will
have resumed his position, stronger than ever
before.
Collector James Steedman, it is said is to
be Mr.. Stanton's successor during the interim.
Nothing could better show the character and
animus of the President than the contrast such
an appointment would exhibit. From Edwin
M. Stanton, man whom the whole civilized
world has come to admire for his transcendent
ability as an executive officer, and whose honor
and integrity are above the breath of sus-
picion, down to Jim Steedman, the peripatetic
spy and slanderer, who executed rowing COM
mission TO hunt up and manufacture charges
against his brother officers on duty in the
Freedmen's Bureau, and who showed that he
was tool of the most despicable character
could there be greater "falling Off" except
in that most abysmal descent from Abraham
Lincoln to Andrew Johnson
The course of the President is daily demon
strating the correctness of the judgment enter
tanned of him by the radical wing of the Re-
publican party. They doubted that he would
honestly carry out the Reconstruction law,
and to meet the threatened danger provided
for a called session in July. The President
justified their suspicious, attempted to nullify
the law, and rendered the July session neces-
sary. At that session the radicals wished to
provide for another session in October. They
doubted the wisdom or safety of leaving the
President unchecked. But the conservatives
pleaded for him, and the session was fixed for
November. Hardly had Congress adjourned
the faithful execution of the law. The incor-
ruptible Secretary of War was his first OBJ
stacle. That has been removed. The honest
and unpurchasable Sheridan is to be the next
victim. Pope and Sickles will probably follow.
All this simply shows that the radicals cor
rectly comprehend the character and the aims
of this bad man who now holds the reins of
power. The conservatives have not under
stood him Alright. They have given him too
much credit for honesty of purpose. His
every act reveals more clearly the self-willed,
obstinate reckless tyrant. Fortunate, indeed,
will it be for the country if we escape without
more serious perils from this violent and dan
gerous man, who has once caused the nation
to blush at the public and beastly exhibition
of his vices, and who may yet convulse it with
his crimes.

THE GUERILLA QUANTRBLL. The Lawrence
(Kansas) State journal says:-"Andy Hammond,
an old resident of this city, and lately Military
Marshal in Texas, has returned. He gives a
rather gloomy account of matters in Texas He
gives the most definite and accurate accounts of
the whereabouts of Quantrell that we have yet
heard. He says that he is doing a commission
business in Mexico, just across the Rio Grande,
under the name of Larned Anderson. His next
officer in rank in the Quantrell massacres Is also
in Mexico Marshal Hammond wrote to Gov
ernor Crawford for a requisition on the Governor
of Texas to procure Quantrell, the intention
being TO decoy him into Texas, and then secure
him upon requisition. The Post Commander
also wrote to Governor Crawford but no ans wer
was ever received either to the letter of
Messrs. Hall, Hammond, or the Post Com
mander, Mr.. Hammond seems to be confident
as to the whereabouts of Quantrell, and thinks
there can be no mistake as to his being on the
border of Mexico.n

James River and Kanawha Canal Company is to
be brought before the United States Bankruptcy
Court. The corporation is owned by number
of Frenchmen, among whom rumor places
Napoleon III. The old State of Virginia ceded
its claims to the French Company, and the
enforcement of the rights of the foreign owners
was one of the grounds for the belief in the
South that Louis Napoleon would recognize
the Confederacy, or make war on the United
States. But nothing came of it, the Mexican
scheme appearing to be more certain invest t.
ment. Now, however, in the Bankruptcy Court
there will be d rigid investigation of French
m9n9uvres and new and interesting page will
be added to the story OF the Rebellion.
