ton fund rhisedA in other States, and
therefore retains its Independence and
soane b lts deegncy, thus pays its re-
g. to the 'fGraud Army Of the Re-
sentiment in the west that
has expression in a few miserable, Job
bing Newspapers kind OF Thenardier
feeling. * number Of Office bergars and
politicians, calling themselves the grand
army Of the republic, and meeting ia
Out-Of-the-way places with grips and
pass words, are passing resolutions de-
manding cOnfiscatiOD and farms. This
is either kr4very or madness. People
who want farms work for them. The
only class We know that takes ether peO-
ple's property hecause they want it is
largely represented st Sing Sing. The
people Of this country do not want Sing
Sing ard Mexican banditti principles in
Produced into their statesmansbip. We
can never reconstruct America bv the
gallows and the deputy sheriff, and we
trust that the spirit of kindness will
prevaii-espectally because this contest
is not made by the southern people.
The G. A. RS, of Quincy, Illinois,
have invited an ex-officer Of the federal
army to form a class Of their order, for
the purpose Of i~nstrueting the members
in sword exercise, comprising cut and
thrust feneeing." Well, why not? 1t
Is e~minently fit they should drill in Sc
cret and dark alleys. If it is proposed
that all honest, orderly and reputable
citizens, who have some stock in the
public peace, the public morality, and
the prosperity Of the State, shall orga-
nize by way Of precaution again emeates
Of black barbarism melted by Radical
raseslity, ard to maintain the laws and
support the officers Of justice and the
ministers Of the law, all the succubi Of
malignancy, presses and patriots to-
gether, lift up their voices in one univer-
sal yell and Owlof objugartory eondem-
hatpR.
But it is ali right, praiseworthy and
patriotic, to set a loysl-league trap to
catch dupes that may be probably
worked for the benefit Of the philanthro-
pists to whom their interests are so dear,
a new breed not yet classed by the natu-
raiists, uniting the characteristics of
Oily Cannon with hose of P~EcKsNIFF,
Mawworm, Chadband and Stiggins. To
these, the Loyal League is acceptable,
because profitable. They minister to
the silly negro's self-importauee to en-
sure his future ruin.

the negroes are but shards
and were eenturious of the ETH
opean cohorts, their beetles. What sort
Of self-respect can = white man possess,
who engages in the dirty work of organ
izing secret and Oath-bouEd associations
Of negroes; who meets with them, mis-
leads them, and debsuches them2 The
Loyal League is Intended to be an instru-
ment Of mischief and q disturbeF Of the
peace. whatsoever has had any part in
gettingi it up, and is not excusable on the
have score OF ignorance, is a criminal. We
said that the present contest in Tennes-
seeis not a political one, buta war waged
against the disfranchised. So it is; and
the Loyal League IS a standing army for
the benefit of the few managers who
have confscated u human rights, and
are simply brjgands living by plunde
and expioiterfng the fools Of Ethiopia. A,
