The Tribune shows much less judgment and
good sense in its manufacture of Rebel out
RACES than the Herald in its manufacture of
kilograms from Europe. The Camilla "mas-
sacre" was wretched bit of botchwOrk which
fell into pieces as soon as we touched it with
the stylus of truth. long story from Texas
which appeared in Tuesdays Tribune, over
the appropriate initials w. II. f. W., is no
better. 1t is all about an unknown person,
evidently a well-to-do Loyal Lacquer who has
been hearing the most dreadful stories of
murder and rebellion in Texas from carpet
baggers bent on "raising a small loan"
One of these carpet baggers sin search of a
Government position" assured our conidipg
friend that in "one town in Texas was de-
tachment of United States colored soldiers
who were being killed off at the rate of one
day, and nobody could tell who killed them"
AS this was "just at the close of the war;"
We infer that the aforesaid detachment"
must have been pretty we'll killed off by this
time; and we respectfully suggest that Gene
raj Grant has sipgularly neglected his duty in
suffering so dark deed to be covered up for
SO long a time from the public eye.
Another carpet-bagger "who asked for
donation of bOoks' induced the open hearted
w. II. L. w. to believe that unless the said
books were forthcoming the "poor whites
would murder all the negroes" Still another,
who was 'member of the New Orleans loyal
convention, brought good letters, and was
beggar," endeavored to get five dollars in
return for the valuable information, that "be-
cause he had treated his negroes like men his
Deighbors burned his buildings, killed one of
his hands, and allowed him to escape with his
life only" And this dreadful case of arson,
complicated with murder, w. II, T. w. has
for two years kept to himself without breath
ing word of it to judges, juries, policemen,
or the General of the army Did he keep it
as security for his small loan Aud has he
now surrendered it to the ribune in return
for cash discount of his friend the ''loyal
beggar's" l. o. u
Still another, ga Georgia man in the United
States employ" secured an honest penny in
exchange for the startling assertion that he
'knew one hundred and sixty loyal men who
had been killed in one county near where he
lived since the war" This dreadful fact, it
seems to us, might have been properly enough
mentioned by w. Ii. 4. w. at the time when
he heard it, il not to the 'authorities," at
least to the public press We are sure there
is no well-conducted newspaper Office in New
York in which any man would fail to be
handsomely remunerated for bringing in a
we'll authenticated 'item" so brilliant and
so sensational as this. A hundred and sixty
murders rolled into one Why it would
command higher market price than a whole
stampede of two headed buffalo calves or six
average earthquakes in Oquawka Compare
now with such weak inventions as these
the solid, sober-sided, substantial kilograms
of the Herald in regard to Europe When
the cable announces, for instance, that the
"rebels are at Corunna," the Herald quietly
takes reliable Encyclopedia and makes up
a special despatch "from our representative
in London" which really contains great deal
of interesting though not absolutely novel in
formation about the geographical position OF
COrnnna-about its probable foundation by
the Ph@nioans, about its population and in
dustry, and about the battles fought there in
the past, winding up with striking though
perhaps somewhat familiar com position by
the late Mr.. Wolfe, on the death and burial
! Of the English General Sir John Moore, who,
