We are asked in communica-
ton, TO state whether the Judge
Patterson who is making himself
conspicuous as a Radical leader, and
endeavoring to out-IIerod Herod'
in prescription and vindictiveness, and
who attacks Ex-Governor Footc. SEN
ator Fowler and Secretary of State
Fletcher, and who, while Circuit
Judge, left the litigants in his district
in the lurch and engaged as an attOr-
ney to prosecute Judge Frazier before
the Senate, is the same man who held
I contract from the Confederate author
titles in 1861 to altar shot-guns and
and rifles into effective arms to shoot
" Yankees" with /? Is he the same
man, who, to avoid service in the field
during Confederate rule in and about
Kingston, East Tennessee, secured
the appointment of Confederate Post
master, and as a matter of course
took the necessary oath? The quer-
list says he has heard these things,
and that if true, they explain the
bitterness of his hostility towards his
former friends.
In answer, We would say, that the
charge that Judge Patterson was a
Confederate armorer was made in this
paper in the summer of 1866, and il
it was ever denied, we do not remem-
Der the fact. As to the Postmaster
ship, We have no knowledge. We
thought that it was generally under
stood that Judge Patterson's " 10y
atty" did not pass the ordeal of 1861.
. without a considerable smell of the
rebellion on its garments.

There is no great amount of
cordiality existing between the
East and the West. The Boston
Journal, with biting sarcasm, says
the East ought to have the next
| Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, since the West has got
almost every thing else The West
has got the lions share, including
the President, Vice President,
Chief Justice, and Lieutenant Cen
eral, and host of other offices. The
Philadelphia North american de-
mands more stringent protection for
Pennsylvania, declaring that the re-
suit of the presidential election is
declaration by the people in favor
of the doctrine of protection enter
tanned in that State. On the other
hand, the Chicago Tribune, Il lead
ing Radical organ Of the North
west, says:
:" We have long been warned that the
concealed purpose OF fraction of the.
Republican party in Pennsylvania and
other parts of the East was to make the
election of Grant the occasion for assert
ing that the tariff policy Of the last few
years a policy adopted under the urgent
want Of money to support our armies in
the fiold-had been endorsed by the
American people as measure of peace,
and that there would be a concerted en-
deavor TO commit all who bear the Re-
publican name TO the support Of Protec-
ton. under pain Of trial for heresy and
expulsion from the party. The warning
was correct. The iron interest Of Penn
sylyania, of which the North american
has been the mouth piece, issues its man
date, and now the struggle begins"
And further
1.-THE West does not ask for free trade
as the robbers falsely charge. She re-
cognizcs and submits to the necessity OF
protection, so far as il is an incident of
Iarlu lOT revenue, DuI Del olu llldJ Slo
will not go. She has borne with unex-
ampled patience the demands made upon
her resources; but now that peace has
come she will make her power Of resis-
lance felt if there are any who dare to
push her further. And she will care
little for the consequences if her wrath
is aroused We tell these conspiratOrs
against public prosperity that they have
got their long fingers just as far into the
pockets of our farmers as they will be
permitted to thrust them. If they want
the whole Of the fabric that they have
raised under the encouragement of I'M
Just law torn down over their heads, lie!
them make the article that we quote the
rule of their political action. Between
no tariff and more protection she will
not long hesitate which to choose"
The battles of the North and the
South have been forgot; those of
the East and the West have yet To
come off. They may be bloOdless
but they will be violent, and waged
with the spirit of men seeking es-
cape from robbers, for the North
west has been sorely plundered by
New England and Pennsylvania.

MUCH is said every day about
what Gen. Grant will do-how he
will bringpeace to the country. This
is before the disappointment that
always follows the distribution OF
the spoils. Wait until the ninety and

on Washington muttering curses
loud and deep at their defeat, and
then the harmony of the Republican:

A RADICAL letter-writer, who ad-
vocated not only the increase of the
Presidents salary, but the building
of a new house for him, said Mrs.
Grant had declared that she would
not live in the White House. She
has probably changed her mind, as
we see it stated that Gen. Grant
residence in Washington has been
sold to Mayor Bowen, of that city,
for $4,000.

A CONTRAST.


Two atrocious murders have re-
Gently been committed which have
attracted more than ordinary at
tention. These murders have
elected from the press a great deal
of comment, and these comments
illustrate not only the civilization
but the spirit that actuates the two
sections ofthis country toward each |
other. They especially illustrate
the vindictive tone and manner of
Northern Radical journals toward
the people of the South. The case
is thus put by the Baltimore Ga
zette; A widow lady living with her
daughter and son-in- law, in Phila-
delphia, was found lying dead in the
yard behind her house. An eXami-
nation showed that she had evident
" been killed in a room on the
second floor, and that her son-in-
law was the murderer. His wife is
also charged with having been an
accessory to the deed. To secure
the money of the old woman was
the object of her murder The
other murder occurred in Rich
mond. An editor who had pub
| lished a scurrilouSand defamatory
article about young lady was shot
down upon the public street by
her brother. The assassin had
secreted himself, and thus took
his victim unawares, and he had
moreover taken every precaution
to secure his own safety. Uponthese
two cases the press has Of course
commented freely. The Southern
| journals which have spoken have
denounced the assassin of Pollard
in plain, unmeasured terms, and
have manifested their horror at the
bloody tragedy which occurred in
Philadelphia. OF the Northern
papers very many have expressed
themselves in the disgraceful style
which has become so characteristic
of them of late years. The Phila-
delphia murder, as they treat it,
was simply brutal murder. The
Richmond affair was merely an
illustration of Southern society
