All these points we have urged in proof OF
his unfitness for the Presidency but they have
nothing to do with Gov. Seymours character

urged against his personal fitness for the Presi-
dency is as nothing to Gen. Dix's severe ar

understand him more thoroughly. Gen. Dix
speaks for himself, and the public will fairly
weigh his testimony. The World taunts him
with greed of office; nobody ever yet accused
him of laundering after defeat That Gen.
Dix, surveying the field from distance and
uninnuenced by its passions thinks Seymour
doomed to defeat, even The World will admit.

MEDDLIyG and MUDDLJNG.

We believe in Government-in benefcent,
paternal protective Govenment-but the very
best principles may be run into the ground.
We think this truth is exemplifed by
"a Republican," who writes:
at Is 40 question with whether the Government or
the banks ought furnish the people with currency The
Government ought To do 1t.
Government currency is just as ferfbe as bank cur
rency and the Government increase it, currency
when 1t needed just easily land more easily, than
the banks When you say paper currency, sup
pose you mean a mixed currency"
1t strikes us that the argument of our
friend would justify the assumption by the
Government of the functions of baker, butcher,
tailor, blacksmith shoemaker, doctor, dentist,
&c, to the People. There would undoubtedly
be economies thus achieved, but at what enor-
nous risk and cost! The evils and inevitable
abuses of the system would be frighttul--
uncomfortable.
Government (of some kind digs canals, helps
construct some railroads, makes streets mar
kets, &c, &c. The ineilicency and corruption
of our public service is notorious. We do not
realize that it ought to be extended.

Georgia MURDERERS AND NORTHERN
dpDTOCTCTS


We have printed, so far as we know, every
side to the story of the outbreak in South
| Western Georgia. We have suffered the Sheriff
who led in the dispersion of the Republican
meeting, the murder of several attendant
Republicans, and the wounding of nearly or
quite n hundred to vindicate himself at
length. We have given the reports Of the
Georgians and of the Freedmen's Bureau, the
opinions of the Republican Governor and
of the Rebel Legislature, and we have
made no charge against the Rebels
of Camilla which any of these versions does
not warrant In the face of these facts The
World has the assurance to accuse us of man
ufacturing Southern outrages for Northern
political market. Probably now it may find it
convenient TO accuse the Democratic Admins
tration of hurrying Gen. Meade to Georgia,
not because there has been any unpleasantness
there, but only as q means Of helping forward
the election of Grant
Let us briefly repeat the essential facts Of
the Camilla mob and murders-wilingly or
unwillingly disclosed in every account, Rebel
or Republican, of the occurrences:
1. The Republican procession, with speakers
and music, was peaceably approaching the
place at which the Republican meeting had for
weeks been advertised to take place.
2. 1t was warned off by resident Rebels.
8. 1t insisted on its rights, and advanced
toward the place of meeting.
4. 1t was first fired upon by drunken Rebel
g. In the melee that followed it made little
resistance was speedily scattered, and its flying
members were pursued six or seven miles.
g. Several Republicans were killed, and be-
tween fifty and hundred were wounded
Only six Rebels were wounded, and none were
killed.
These are not our statements. They are not
even solely Republican statements. They are
the admissions in tho sworn report Of the
Rebel citizens of Camilla themselves. 1t is not
pretended that the Republicans made any
assault with the arms they are charged with
openly bearing. 1t is not denied that q Rebel
citizen fred tho first shot, and that his
friends straightway drew the arms they
had been secretly land therefore illegally
bearing. And it is absurd to talk about the
Governors proclamation as forbidding the open
carrying of arms by such Republicans or other
citizens as chose. The Governor of Georgia is
not fool, and he knows that it is two or
three years too late to attempt ovcrturning
the Constitution of the United States by
Southern proclamation Why, then,
should this procession have been for
forbidden to approach the place for the meet
iug Who claims that Uuion meu may not

bear arms when paroled Rebel soldiers doI
What more right had the Democratic Sheriff OF
Mitchell County. Georgia, to warn a kepuo-
lean procession from entering Camilla than
the Sheriff of New-YOrk has to warn the
BOYS in Blue from entering the Cooper lnsti-
tuteP "But they were asked and cntreated to
stay out to avoid bloodshed." Precisely. And
if they had stayed out they would have been
laughed at as fools, sneered at as towards,
told that Republican scallawags and lon
'niggersr could hold no meetings In that
State. And The World and The Express would
have admired the admirable harmony ana
unanimity of sentiment in Democratic Georgia
1t will not do, gentlemen!e Under the exist
ing Reconstruction, Republicans, black or white
do not claim to have any more rights than
paroled Rebels. But they do claim to have just
as many, and the claim will be enforced

We have not one word to say against the
CALAMITY and fidelity of Gen. Frank p. Blair
as a soldier during the war. Nevertheless, it
is a curious fact, as our Washington CORE
spondent suggests, that Rebel reports from the
battle-f field of Fredericksburg, as published in
The atlanta COntederacy in 1868, should have
announced Gen. Blair among the prisoners and
emphasized his alleged desire to take the oath
of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy.
The Atlanta people were only few years pre-
mature in their enterprising publication of the
news. Gen. Blair delayed giving in his allegi-
ance to the Southern Confederacy till the date
of the Brodhead letter. Within four days
thereafter Gems. Wade Hampton, Preston, and
Forrest had formally received him into the
Confederate service and given him high pro-
motion.

After some extravagant and good deal of
meaningless talk, the National Labor Congress
has said one most sensible and wise thing. 1t
has recognized the principles of Cooperation as
the most powerful agents for the elevation of
the worIingmen, and has recommended their
application as the best means of avoiding con-
tests between Capital and Labor Now let us
have judicio1s plans for reducing this to prac-
tice in all our large cities, instead of schemes
by seedy politicians, masquerading in working
mems clothes among the labOrers. to elect dema-
gogues to Congress and accumulate stOck-in-
trade of political capital for their own behoof,
and the country will have reason to remember
this Labor Congress with gratitude.

The smart owners of the ship Sonora have
taken change of venue in the matter of the
Alabama claims, without waiting for Lord
Stanley, or Mr.. Reverdy johnson, or the
voluminous diplomacy of our fluent Secretary
of State Having found certain effects of the
builder of the Alabama in this city, they file
libel in our own United States District Court in
Admiralty against him, and thereupon attach
his property almost as summarily as his ship
attached theirs. We shall await with some
interest the issue of this novel and important
suit, which, among other things, may help to
show whether, even against privateers and the
British Government, our citizens can protect
themselves better than our State Department
can protect them.

The news from Spain continues favorable to
the insurgents All the exiled Generals take
an active part in the movement; several more
towns have pronounced in its favor the attack
upon the capital has already begun, and the
Queen, who had set out for Madrid, has been
compelled to return to San Sebastian. The
leaders have wisely decided to leave the decision
of the future form of government to general
vote of the people. Marshal Espartero has In
many places been proclaimed President but
this, we think, means only that lie is to be at
the head of the State until the Constituent AS
sembly shall declare the will of the people.

The World is our authority for the following
statement !:

statement
cat San Marino in Dinwidde County Va, coal-back
negro named William SaTke and who neither read
nor write has actually received the appointment OF Post
master"
Postmaster General Randall is hard at work
for Seymour and Blair, and appoints men of
like faith as pOstmasters. That some of them
should be negroes, is his business, not ours.
But we protest, in behalf Of three hundred
thousand people who take and read The
TRIBUNE, against his appointing any Seymour
ite, white or black, who cannot read. His
color is Of no sort of consequence; but post
master must know how to read. Congress must
inquire into this matter. If Randall has done
this thing with full knowledge of the fact,
Inc ought to be impeached and removed. These
Seymour postmasters are slow enough in hand
ing out The TRIBUNE when they can read
after a fashion. Fill the offices with Seymour
and Blair negroes who can't read, and our sub
sci1bers viii be defrauded of their papers en-
tircy.
The World will please furnish the evidence
that Randall has done as it charges. We can
believe it, even on such poor authority as we
already have; but give us the documents, and
well try to have the matter in train before
Congress shall have re-cOnvened. Impeachment
is the only eiItctual remedy for such gross
abuse OF high public trust and as the

Gen. VIM. c. Wickham of the Confederate
Army was recently invited to address Re-
publican meeting in North Carolina, and in his
reply he uses the following sensible language
1.-THE election OF Grant and Collar regard the only
Of bringing back prosperity 70 the Southern states,
by giving speedy and definite solution OF all the diff
cult questions that embarrass while on the other
hand, think the election OF Seymour and Blair would,
by upsetng all that has been already settled by the Re
construction acs and by giving hope to the disunon
party, which is not Dead but seepeth bring upon us
fresh dsquetude and by keeping alive issues OF and
section, involve us in further disasters"
Gen. Wickham is following the excellent ex-
ample of Longstreet and so many others of the
most distinguished supporters of the Lost Cause,
in frankly admitting that cause to be lost in
deed, and frowning upon all attempts to re-
viye it as certain to increase the misfortunes
of the South. The soldiers who faced Grant
in the field respect him as well as do the
soldiers who fought under him. 1t is only
among those who kept up the fire in the rear
that we find his detractos.
