For CHAsE.-The Catholic Telegraph, an in
iuenta journal of Cincinnati and leader of
the Democracy in that quarter, comes out very
decidedly for the nomination of Chief Justice
Chase as the Democratic candidate for the Presi
dency. -.NarysriHe Appeal.
What miserable faIsehood. The CATH
oiic Telegraph, under the shadow of Bishop
Purcell is and has been an Abolition jour
nal since 1860. 1t is true that in the con-
test in 1860 it and the Sacramento Union
supported the same ticket, and it is fully as
Democratic now as the Union but not moro
50. We know Bishop Purcell, and know
the course Of his organ, the Teleyuph.-
Bishop Purcell has gone farther and meddled
more in politics than any other Bishop in
the United States, and when he has seen
proper 10 become the politician, which has
been too often, his leanings and sympathies
have always been against the Democracy
This is SO notorious that it is unnecessary
to discuss the matter further. The editor of
the appeal may be ignorant of the fact, but
he should not be. Whether the appeal is
misled or not, it is following in the lying
line Of its class of political journals. 1t is
the rule not the exception, of Abolition
journals to quote some anti Democratic para
graph from paper at distance and assert
editoraly that the paper has heretofore been
a staunch and wonderfully influential Demo.
cratic Journal. This class of MongreI sheets
feel their degradation, feel that nothing they
can publish as original will be believed where
they are known, hence they resort to the i'm
portation of lying paragraphs and then lie
themselves as to the political leaning of the
paper quoted from.
The Cincinnati Telegraph "a leader of the
Democracy in that quarter" Yes. in one
sense it is. Like the Sacramento Union did
as far ms it could, it would DO glad to lead
the Democracy into the Mongrel camp and
there surrender them to their enemies and
the enemies of the country.
The Telegraph has perfect right to dc
Just what it pleases and so has Bishop Pur.
cell and what he and bis reputed organ does
we firmly believe is consceutiously done.
We have heard Bishop Purcell preach
since 1899. in ware houses, in barns, and
once in a Methodist church, and later 10 biz
cathedral and believe him to be good and
conscientious man. He is one of the ablesl
men Of the Church or any Church in the
country, but his instincts are not Democratic
never were and never will be-.

This is in view Of the vote that is to be taken
the next day upon the impeachment OF rres'-
dent johnson. We confess that we have
been playing the weather cork ever since
this farce began, veering about as the tele-
graph would indicate, for or against him,
but we cave now since Congress has en-
listed these sable sons of Zion and SET them
to fasting and preyiug. If they make half
such dash at Heaven as they can so well
make upon SOMEBODY elses meatlhouse, es'

admirable material these "Americans of AT

deal Of instructive cunning, the party which

sorry for Andy. His chances have always
been bad with such pack at his heels, led
by that prince Of thieves Ben. Butler, but
now that this sooty congregation of Zion has
got after him he may well fix up that cid
house in East Tennessee. But what strikes
us AS the most characteristic feature in this
vicarious arrangement by which Heaven is
invoked is, that knowing that their own pray,
ers are OF that kind said to be an determination
in the sight Of Heaven they think that they
can even cheat the Most High by sending
the petitions Of these more earnest and SIM

except by indireclon, and now that they have

give it up. Oh Andy! Andy your case

Lieut.. Gen. N. B. Forrest.

Through the courtesy of II. II. Bancroft
we have been placed in possession of the
life Of this famous cavalry officer. Making
due allowance for the Partially Of the author,
Col. Thomas Jordan, formerly of the U. S.
army, General Forrest certainly displayed
wonderful aptitude for military command.
Without education, literary or military, he
attained the highest rank in the Confederate
service, over soldiers thoroughly instructed
in the dreadful art of war. Not as mere
partizan officer, not alone as a daring leader
in desperate emergencies, but one who could
lead gallanty in charge bis personal escort,
or maneuvre a division, a corps, or an army
throughout a campaign with equal and ter.
rible efficiency. We took up this volume
to get the other side Of the story so loudly
heralded by veual and mendacious press,
respecting his solcalled barbarous" mode
ofmaking war, and we laid it down convinced
of the fact that although he was tireless in
the pursuit of bis enemies, and terrible in the
shock of battle, no man in either army was
more humane in the treatment of prisoners,
or more considerate, as far as his means ex
tended, for those whose misfortune it was to
be wounded As to the Fort Pillow affair Col
Jordan will convince any fair mind, familiar
with the usages Of war, that that garrison
suffered no more than the customary severity
of works carried by storm. It's commanding
officer, taken prisoner was treated With civil
i,y although fighting the people of his own
State until he violated bis parole and
upon being recapured was shot in endeavor
lug to break away from bis guard.
The story of massacreiug negroes seems to
have been trumpet up to infuse some cour-
age. or rather spirit of revenge among
the negro troops. The chivalrous gentlemen
who aspired to the command of this class oil
soldiers had cunning enough to see that il
they could succeed in making them believe
that no quarter would be given them that
they would fight with desperation, which
they did soon after at Tishomingo, where
many poor negro, who otherw Use
would have surrendered, fought to the
death, in the belief that be was doomed any.
how. The falsehoods by which the events Of
this calamitous war have been ensbrouded
served the purpose Of the bad men who got
it up and egged it Oh, not for the preserva
ton of the Union, but to free the negroes
and acquire power, to be used in advancing
the interests their own section. Too late
the nation is being made painfully aware OF
their real designs, and an impoverished treas.
ury. half a million Of graves, dear cotton
dea: tobacco, no rice, no hemp, no nothing
hut taxation without resources, is the penalty
we have to pay for an unboly sectional
crusade urged on by English emissaries and
their Massachusetts allies.

RADICAL RAGE.

Telegraphc dispatches for several days
have teemed with abuse and threats of and
against those Senators who are unwilling to
join the peljured crew who swore before
High Heaven to administer justice in the
trial of President johnson. All the deviIsh
appliances which hate and the spirit Of per-
secution know so we'll how to use have been
brought to bear TO flatter or intimidae those
gentlemen who refuse 10 make criminals Of
themselves. Trumbull was booted at in the
streets, Forney resigned the Secretaryship
Of the Senate for no other purpose than to
pour out the Walls of bis vluperation upon
the devoted heads Of Senators Fesseuden
TrumbulI, Grimes and Henderson.

their malignant souls. They see the hand

attendant blessings approaching, and full
we'll they know that when that day comes
the boodhounds who have fatlened upon
plunder and ilgo,ten gains will be power
less for mischief, Happy will we be if those
Senators opposed to impeachment gel

scruple to hire an assassin. Those precious

walls of the temple of liberty. They have NJ

ready to use desperate means to keep il
