Vnere the Sin Lies.

The Radical perfectionists haye vi
olently maintained, as a cardinal doc
trine Of their creed, that only the 10y
al should vote. In accordance with
this dogma oil negroes are allowed
the franchise, and no white men, un-
less they consent 10 vote the radical
ticket. Plain as this circumstance
should make it, that their construe-
tion Of loyalty means radioalism, a
severer test has recently been ap-
piled, and still the the theory holds
good. Among the many men who
left the Federal army to join the
fortunes of the Confederacy, no one
made himself more conspicuous than
Gen. Longstrcet. No opposition TO
the federal cause was more bitter, no
persistence greater, and no blows
dealt more fercoly than his. On this
account, he was with the rest placed
under the ban Of federal displeasure,
and there be might have remained
forever. But, by one of these curious
transmutations which the wit Of man
can work, Gen. Longstreet, the sturdy
rebel, has been enabled 10 deliver him
self Of an argument, satisfactory, it is
to be supposed, to himself at least, in
which he shows decided leaning to
radical tenets; in short loyal en-
brace. of the situation. No sooner is
this known than General Longstreet
becomes a radical pet. No voice is
clearer, no head is wiser, no pen is
more logical than his. He comes
forth fit wearer of Senatorial hon
ors, and, If he will accept, no doubt
receive them. Now, there can be no
question that Gen. Longstreets sin
was as great as Gen. Lees or Gen.
Beauregard's or any other man in the
South. Ii is impossible that he can
purge himself Of all sin in an instant.
This the Radicals we'll know. Their
willingness, therefore, TO receive him
and TO exclude all who unlike him re.
iect radicalism, whatever may have
been their course since the war, is
proof irrefragable that the sin Of the
Southern people, for which they are
visited with such dire and unending
calamity, is not that they rebelled
against "the best government the
world ever saw" or that they left the
Federal service to join the rebels, bu'
that they now refuse to embrace rad.
calism. Any other pretense is mis-
cradle subteIfuge. Cecil Democrat.

How DO YOU LIKE II Hon. Hen.
ry W. Williams, the Black Republican
nominee, is in favor OF conferring the
right of suffrage upon the negroes in
this State, and if elected Supreme
Judge, will so decide. Those white
people who expect to leave children
behind them when they die, are now
called on to decide whether the two
races shall be transformed into mon.
grels, or remain distinct as decreed by
the Creator. Fathers and mothers, dc
you want your ofisprings transformed
into Mexican greasers If yea, you
will Of course vote for Williams, the
negro candidate.

This will enable the "freedmen" 10
elect a mayor, Board of Aldermen, and
say who shall, or shall not, constitute
the police-thus placing the lives and
property Of white men entirely at
their mercy. New Orleans, as we
have heretofore shown, has also given
very decided Negro majority; 80
has Richmond, and so, we presume,
will it be about everywhere else, in
the Southern Kingdoms. The South
is thus being converted into a Black
Republic, with celebrity which would
DO astonishing If one had not long age
ceased to be astonished at anything,
which Radicalism now days is doing
or may do in the name OF "God and
Liberty"

The Chicago Republican complains
of the insecurity of the mails in the
South. 1t says not only newspapers
frequently fail 10 reach those for whom
they are intended, but letters are oc-
casionally opened, and If found tocon.
tain anything valuable, the contents are
appropriated. If this is so, tits easy to
account for it. The Jacobin Senators
refuse to confirm any appointment for
Postmaster except men of their own
party.

HARMoNY.-The Black Republicans
are constantly prating about electing
Judges whose ideas ''harmonize with
the political sentiments of the day"
This is an old theory with Radicals,
and therefore not original with Ste.
vens & Co. The following Judges
were ain harmony with the political
sentiments" Of their times Pontius
Plate, Judge Jeffreys, Lord Ellen
borough, and Fouquier TiLville; and
these are the kind of Judges tho Rad.
icals want in our day. Do the people
agree with them?

The New York Tribune denCunces

done the negro, and all his legitimate
rights should bo secured to him, but
white men should rule America.

is still unabated. The London Times,
in a long article on the Mexican

''The sensation produced in Europe by the exc

on the assassination Of Lincoln Not q voice is
anywhere raised in Justification Of the deed. The
cxecrations which in Lincons case were directed
against Booth, are in the present case directed

RICHMOND July ~, 1867.
Hon. Charles A. Eldridgs;
DEAR SIR: have seen your remarks as pub-
lished. They arr substantially correct. Every
word that said to you in Richmond Is not only
true, but can be proved by Federal officers. did
offer in August TO deliver the Federal sick and
wounded, without requiring equivalents and urged
the necessity Of haste in sending for them, ne the
mortality was terrible. did offer to deliver from
ten TO fifteen thousand at Savannah without delay.
Although this offer was made in August, trans
portation was not sent for them until December
and during the interval the mortality was perhaps
at its greatest height II / had not made the
offer, why did the Federal authorities send trans
portatiou TO Savannah for ten or fifteen thousand
meni II | made the offer based only on equiva-
lents why did the same transportation carry down
for delivery only three thousand men
Butler saws the ofor was made in the fall, lac.
cording to the Newspaper report and that seven
thousand were delivered. The offor was made In
August, and they were sent for in December. |
then delivered more than thirteen thousand, aud
would have gone to the fifteen thousand, IL the
Federal transportation had been sufficient. ny
instructions to my agents were to deliver fifteen
thousand sick and wounded, and II that number
Of that class were not on hand, 10 make up the
number by we'll men. The offer was made by

the arrangement until every sick and wounded
man had been returned.
! The three thousand men sent to Savannah by
the federals were In as wretchod a condition as
any detachment Of prisoners ever sent from Con.

All these things arc susceptible Of proof, and
