THE MEDAL REvERsED.-An In
dian proverb quoted by Southey is to
the effect that "curses are like young
chickens; they always come home to
roost." Those States to which Shcr-
mans bummers, or to speak more re-
spectfully, "foragcrs, have returned
are beginning to find this out. 1t
was great military discovery, ac-
cording to General Grant, that an
army could be subsisted upon the
resources of a State it invaded. He
could have conquered Vicksburg long
before it actually fell, had he suspect
ed this fact, which General Sherman
succeeded in proving. But war
upon defenceless population such
as these Generals inaugurated, not
only supports but demoralizes an ar
my. This riaing of corn cribs and
meat houses, of drawers and trunks,
the stealing of spoons and watches,
and the firing of houses, and the i'm
punity of rapcs and murders, may
easily generate habits, and habits are
hard to break. Perhaps in this may
be found an explanation of the late
astounding report of the Citizens
Association of New York" upon the
condition and management of the va
rious public institutions, charitable
and penal, of that city. The report
states that in 1867 over ninety thous-
and passed through these institutions,
either as paupers or as criminals
This number constitutes one-tenth of
the entire population
The Tribune, our authority for this
statement, does not pretend to ex-
plain the fact, but carelessly remarks
that cit would seem that pauperism
and crime among US are rapidly on
the increase; in 1860 the percentage
of pauperism was only one in every
one hundred and twenty-three inhab-
itants." Does the Tribune feel no
twinge of rcmorse in rejecting upon
the causes which have reduced the
whole South to beggary, and are now
glutting the New York almshouses
and prisons? Or will it insist that
what was military necessity and even
glory here becomes crime when trans
ferred to a colder latitude? The same
war, Mr.. Greedy, is still going on,
but the battle field is changed.
