laws are as faithfully executed by our
courts of iudicature, and even-handed JUS
ticc is melted out to white and black. We
welcome enterprising, good people among
rs from any quarter. We earnestly wish
them to come with their capital, energy
and enterprise, to aid us in developing our
resources and establishing our lost pros
pority But they do not come. Nor will
they come, until tranquility, upon sound
principles Of craftsmanship, shall be re-
stored. 1t is q great mistake to suppose
that the contamination of the Sherman
programme of reconstruction viii induce
them to come. 1t may bring trading poll
ticians of so inferior q type that they can
not obtain office at home. They will come
to traffic for the black mans vote, in the
hope of making their salt by the emolu-
ments of office. But the honest, hard work.
ing mechanic, the capitalist and the man
ufaeturer, will never cast their destiny and
hazard their fortunes in any State that is
underncsro dominion. II seems to be snip
posed by many that if these States be once
restored to representation in Congress all
will be well, and that prosperity will fol-
low as q matter Of course. Never was
there more fatal mistake There is no
certainty of these States being represen-
ted in Congress if we adopt the plan of re-
ccnstruction--it is not even promised; nor
will such admission bring good govern
ment to the several States, The Sherman
scheme will certainly result in bad govern
ment, which Congressional representation
has no necessary tendency to cure. And I,
repeat, there can be no prosperity for any
people cursed with bad government. Capt.
tai, energy and enterprise will shun it.

have been submitted to the trying ordeal
OF power, only one has borne himself proof
to the test and come out pnre gold. We
mean General Ord, of the Mississippi and
Arkansas District. Of tho rest, Sheridan
and Sickles are struggling for the cham
pionship Of failure. Pope comes next, and
schofield approaches nearest to the up
right and manly standard Of General Ord,
We had thought that West Point ednca-
ton and army training would have turned
out moral metal Of pnrer grain than this,
and that men who had passed through
those schools Of nobility, would not stoop
to do the dirty work of o party that is in
open day oyerthrowing the Constitution Of
their country, which their officers are
sworn to support and defend.
Sickles mnst be excepted-West Point
and the army are innocent of him and his
civil antecedents taught us to expect moth
ing better than he has turned out-[Mo-
bile Register.

M. If the "gallant General Banks"

No If the "gallant General Banks" is
governed by the rules which usually prevail
among military men. there is a.ssood chance
for him now to call for pistols and coffee
for two. One George ". Copeland, OF Null
den, Massachusetts, sends o card to the
Maiden Messenger, in which he says:
"NoW, Mr. Editor, with foil apprecia-
ton OF the responsibility assume in doing
so, l declare again to the people Of Maiden
that the charge made by me at the caucus
in October last is true, and that when
General Banks, in the presence OF the large
audience there assembled, denied it and
solemnly protested that he had not tasted
liquor or even smelled it, he made a state,
nlent which be knew to be false"
/ The original charge was that not even
the Maine Liquor Law could keep Banks
sober. but that when he went to Portland
to make speech he sot On a spree.
