the gentleman ranks above the noble
man and q Prince Of the blood, guilty
Of an ungentlemsnly act, would be sent
70 Coventry, in sny military mess in the
kingdom. The Norman blood does not
brook uugentlemaDly dealing, and the
saxon nature instinctively loves fair
play. The Reconstruction legislation is
all foul play, and such things, done in
private life, would soil the hands of q
gentleman forever. The truth Is, that
the majority Of the members Of the pres
ent Congress are not fit to legislate for a
Republic. They do not seem to have the
slightest idea that there are any noble
instincts in human nature to be appealed
to; but they habitually appeal to all that
is brutal and mean in man, and rely
upon It as the surest Of effecting
their purposes, even with the conquered,
but not tame or cowed people of the
South. In q word, they are not gentle
men, but snobs and sneaks.
Speaking, for example, of the pending
measures TO remove disabilities from e
few southerners, the New York Tribune
says:
A little generosity Of the kind Mr..
Bingham proposes is one Of the best in
U~estDleHts the loyal people can make, and
will do more than almost any other thing
to prepare the way FOR q complete resto-
ration Of harmony, etc. =
Upon which the National H1teUigencer
~pertineutly remarks:
OF course all "loyal" politicians will
heed the hint. Levying black mail is
usually denounced. This is like it, as
an earthquake is like a shaking floor
different in degree. The object is sup
port to their party. Southern white
men refused it. The whole Of them are
outlawed snd attsinted, and then their
own rights are sold to them, one by one,
in consideration Of their votes, and those
which they can influence. Was aver
highwaysrobbery so brutal ? Was ever
pocket-picking 80 mean? Was ever dis
honesty SO devilish ? "a good invest
meut.n The Tribune closes "Let the
bill pass" Yes, let il pass. Choke him
until he promises to be your slave. You
have struck him down. Keep hard your
on his windpipe till he pays you
for the breath he is to draw. If he con-
sents, let the bill psss.ii
