The Cincinnati Commercial says Of
Admiral P0rter's apology TO Grant for his
Welles letter;
Those who have rsad tie story Of
our Prospects, can not fail to remember
the impressive scene between Mr.. John
James La Monte and his wife after her
delicate RirtatiOn with the Count Louis
La Monte. The stern husband addresses
her pCrsRtently by her maiden name, and
all her plesdngs and CntreatiCs do not
relax the severity Of his resolution. She
admits her error, pleads for mercy, invites
cha,tisemCnt, aud 10 burst of agony that
Will probably produce an effect upon the
reader the reverse of that which the au-
thor intended, exclaims: Punish me as you
please, but don't call me TheOdOsia Bot
well!' The apologize letter of Admiral
Porter 10 the President, explanatory of
iheletter to cx Secretary WeIIes, which he
affects to have wholly forgotten, is much
in the same spirit. Punish me as you
please, it virtually cntreats, 'but don't
withdraw my nomination Il is pitt
full whine from first TO last. >"
The Commercial "hit the nail on the
head" that tim,, but it was mistaken
when it supposed that Grant would "hold
in secret contempt man who can 50
wriCrIc and crawl at his feet to secure
official favor Grant rather likes that sort
of cringing to him, since it gives him at
least temporary belief that he is of some
mn0rlqncc.

MuATARAnICAL SAYS

The Nashville correspondent of the
Louisville Commercial (RadicaD writes
as follows, under date of Dec. z:
Il is well understood here that Gen.
William B. Stokes and Col. w. 7. Pros.
scr will claim the right TO represent their
respective districts in Congress, although
they did not receive a majority of the
votes cast This correspondent, however,
thinks they had as well remain at home.
They are good men, but it is too late to
claim an election under the old, dead
franchise law.
The best thing we could have in this
State for all concerned, white ard black,
native and immigrant, is universal amnes-
". The prosecution of officers under
the fourteenth amendment will only result
if it results in anything, in removal Of
a fair class of men for , far worse class.

ties, and then the way will be opened
soon for union of sll the clements in the
State which arc opposed 70 The Democratic

SOME of the ultra Radical journals at
the North profess to be borr,tied at the
election of Gov. Vance as Senator from
North Carolina, and some of them are
publishing what they claim 10 be an ex-
tract from q speech he made during The
rebellion" to North Carolina regiment,
that was about marching to Join Lees
Amy in Virginia, which th'y appear to
regard as the objectionable sin. The fol-
lowing is the extract:
'Boys. fight till he'll freezes over, and
then 6 ght on the ice; fight until you fill
hell so full of Yankees that their feet will
stick outof the Windows.
The Savannah Republican SAYS this IL
pretty strong talk, It's true; but, after all,
it is merely fgurativc, and would have
immortaIizsd any Yankee had he used
it with reference TO the 'Rebels. But
Vance and his "boys" bave both done
with fighting, and want 10 forget that
they ever did fight. Why not 'let US
have peace?'

S1O.166.OOO

This is sixty-threc per cent. of the en-
tire internal revenue tax, exclusive of
stamps.
The six New England States are ex-
pected to contribute an aggregate of &c.
sos, 900; less than third of what is ex
pected from New York; less than a half
of Ohio's share, and two millions less than
Kentucky. New England, with pOpu-
lation in round numbers, by the census Of
1870, of 1892, 900, has a repre- entation
of twelve Senators, and pays but six and
a half millions Of internal revenue,
while Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Kentucky, with population
Of IA, 796, 600, are represented by but ten
Senators, and are called upon to pay
nearly seventy one millions Of internal
taxation.

NASHVILLE AMERICAN SATURDAY. DECEMBER TO- 1870


THE VIRTUE OF DEPRAvITYs
1t is refreshing to observe how very
virtuous our Radical brethren can be in
their professions when occasion ,mands.
Nothing can be finer than the pa1egyrics
upon ''the popular verdict and ''repub-
ican institutions" which are just now
being pronounced by some of the New
York Radical papers. Their appreciation
of these s'effete superstitions" has been
aroused by the counting out, as they
put it, Of one Twombly, whom they
fondly supposed had been elected to the
Assembly from New York city. The
following passage from the Albany
Journal will give an idea of the deep
concern of the Radical heart at this "ter-
rible outrage" upon ''the rights of free
people"
eff the popular verdict, as expressed
by the balloto may be thus set aside with
IMMUNITY, republican institutions are a
delusion and our elections farce. 1t is
useless to vote if unprincipled canvassers
can thus negative the voice of the people.
The very worst despotism is preferable
to such system of scoundrelism, perjury
and fraud"
These be good words; and coming
from the organ of the party which has
turned some dozen or twenty Democrats
out Of Congress in order that the seats to
which they were chosen by majority of
the voters of their respective districts
might be given to their Radical competi-
tors, is decidedly refreshing. When
Brownlow was counting out" Demo
cratic Congressman in this State, and
making "our elections farce" this vir-
tuous Radical organ had no word of con-
domination for this act of despotism; and
when the Democrats thus Counted out"
appealed to Congress to right the
wrong perpetrated by Brownlow, this
Radical organ, nor any other Radi-
cal organ, did not insist that Con-
gress should respect 'the popular
verdict, as expressed by the ballot.
There are almost innumerable instances
that might be cited of Radical outrages
alike upon 'the popular verdict, as ex-
pressed by the ballot" and upon repub-
lican institutions; but the columns of Rad
ical journals may be searched in vain for
denunciation of single one of those
outrages. But now that Radical has
been Counted out" as his brethren
claim, great wall goes up from the
Peclenifian press, and it is discovered
that frauds upon the ballot-box are worse
than despotism. The devil can quote
Scripture to serve his purpose, and even
Radicals, it seems, can profess regard for
tue principles. But they never practice
as they preach. They are too loyal to
their great master for thai.

IT is stated that the wa in Europe Is

social and domestic condition of the peo-
pie of the twp nations engaged in the
struggle. The suffering in Germany is
reported as very great. \ German paper
states that IN the province of Westphalis,

I1,Sl7 maried women, the wives and
willows of soldiers, together with %, us
children, obtaining relief from the public
funds. In Hanover, 1924 women ard
