Rate. mud His Flag.

The L,dger recently said in an edito-
rial:
"perhaps nothing tests the civiliza-
ton of 4 country better than the security
of travellers, in passing TO and fro
through it,"
Now, il seems that Sergeant BATES
walked unasSailed through all the coun-
uy from Vicksburg to Washington.
Here furious assault began on him
and his flag. He was excluded from the
Capitol, reviled by the newspapers, and
seems TO have provoked a tempest of
rage that is yet unabated. Every Radi-
cal paper in the city, and perhaps
throughout the North, has launched its
druuuciations at the head Of this SOL
der, and when you seek his offence, it
is-Le carried the flag in safety from
vick.5urg to Washington. This seems
50 to exasperate the Radicals against
the Sergeant that among them now he
aud his tlag might not find the "secur-
ity' which is, says the Ledger, test Of
civilization. The National MtelligeHcer
thus describes the scene at Washington:
Elsewhere in our columns will be
found description of Sergeant Bates
walk, and how lie was received in the
South. 1t is of no consequence that the
negro Council of Washington City de-
MED him the hospitality of the city, All
these things are of small Importance;
but when he came with his flag, which
be had carried with honor and rever-
euce through fifteen hundred miles of
the SOath-when he came with it to
the Capitol of the United States, he was
refused admission by u burly chief of
Capitol Police, who professed to be
acting under orders from the Senate. 1t
is remarkable that while Sergeant Bates
and his flag, and the Whits men with
him, where thus estopped from entering
even the rotunda of the Capitol, moro
than two hundred negroes, who had fol-
lowed the procession, were allowed to
enter the sacred precincts without
question.

The editor of the Janesville, Illinois,
Gazette, writes this about man whose
public position is our only excuse for
giving circulation to such personal gos-
sip: "Yates has been on perpetual
spree for some weeks, but now COM
mittee ofladies, with Bishop Simpson
at their head, have got possession of
Lim, and hope to get him sober once
more. Mrs. Yates is Methodist lady
of great worth, and Yates himself often
leans that way, Il speak theologically,
not literally,) hence the efforts of the
good Bishop to win back this erring
man to the path of duty and usefulness.
If impeachment should fail for the want
of Yates vote, there would be such
music in our neighboring State of llli-
nois as was never eard.before, and the
great necessity of electing sober men to
ofice-a lesson repeated many hundred
times in this eountry-would receive
such emphasis as to pierce the dull ear
of every constituency throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
