DESTRUCTIVE ARITHMETIC.

That arithmetic is against carpet baggery
has long been evident But few could have
realized the fearful havoc which the multipli-
cation table makes from month to month, and
from year to year, in the ranks of the "trooly
loil," until the fact was laid before the Presi-
dent by ga member of my staff" that they
persisted under the murderous hands of "reb-
els" at the rate of $50 per month. Multiply
this number by ~, and the result is yearly
mortality of $500. To ascertain the aggregate
sacrifice of "trooly loil' innocents to the Mo-
loch of rebellion, we must multiply 1900 by
the time which has elapsed since the
rebellious spirit broke forth and ex-
tended over the State; that is to say
by nine years; and this yields a product of
1920 ''trooly loil" victims of rebel assas-
