There has been, as the public is aware,
a most elegant and refreshing row going
on for some time past between the two
branches OF the freternal Radical party
| in our midst. "How these Christians
lore one another !n was remark made
by an esrly German savage when the
doctrine Of brotherly love was first intro
duced into Allemsnis. "How these
Christians hate one another ~ was the
remark made by the same German few
years afterward. Just so with the Radi-
Gals among US year or two ago, when
they were few in number, with lean and
scsnty earpet-bags, and just ingra-
tiating themselves into the favor of the
emanciPated eolored voters, they were
band of brethren-they hung together
in all things, and were a unit wherever
scalawag interest was TO be suhserved.
By and by, however, the first booty
came, and there was a little squabble
about dividing it; then as the spolio
opinlG crowded upon them, the little
breach grew to be big one, and those
who in a normal condition were thick
as thieves" soon grew TO be bitter enc
mics and to hate one another right cor
daily. Those who failed in getting Of
fee hated those who succeeded and
those who got an inferior or subordinate
position, were everlsstingly down on "
those who were fortunate to get into
something fat
The reader who has ever seen buzz ards
fighting over a carcass, or dogs swapping
and snarIing at each other over 8 bone,
may form some faint idea of the spirit
which animated land still animatesl
these truly loyal patriots.
We have hitherto taken no part in
their qusrrels, believing that the Con-
sentative newspaper that interfered in
any way, shape or form, to stop the
quarrel, was doing an injury to the cause
of decency, and that the sooner that these
vampires that were sucking the life
blood of the body polite, consumed and
destroyed one another, the betterit would
be for the White people OF Memphis and
the South. We have, where il was DOS
sible, " sicked them on" and bounded
them into fights that they perhaps would
not otherwise have gone into, and now
it affords US no ordinary amount of graf
ification to be able to chronicle .he fol-
lowing delightful little split among them
selves
Judge Wsldran, as all are aware, took
occasion to "go for . the police commits
sionsrs in his charge to the grand Jury

police commissioners were jerked up be-

down to see the Judge, They found
him, according to their OWE account, Ia
a bar room pretty drunk, and gave him
