A Carpet Bagger Snubbed.
Mr.. EDITOR Communications from
Virginia, contained in the Pittsburgh Com
mercial of March Sth and 9th, shamefully
portrays mans inhumanity to man" in
reference to which l would ask a space in
your paper.
The writer of the communications, "a
P. H" VINO is paid government official,
with conception worthy of better mind
says in his first clause, that there is a
vigorous effort being made by interested
parties, both North and South, to induce
Northern people to settle in the South and
invest their capita" and further says, at
is matter of great Importance" that the
Northern people should know who and
what they must associate with in the
South The Interpretation of A P. H. OF
the reception he received there is that he
found them as bitter as in the days of the
rebellion" From this language it is plain
" visible that he, going there with all the
arrogance of a government pet, without
money or sense; with his mind full of un-
limited ''isms ;" with the intention of ma
king himself conspicuous among the ne
groes; IN the full intent and meaning ora
carpet bagger," got most beautifully
snubbed by both white and black
This is the whole reason why this au-
dacious scavanger, working under the
guise of "ye loyalty" spits his venom upon
people compelled to submit to the
whims of the infamous monarchial party,
with King Grant as the puppet head; a
people sorely misused and now outrage
ousIy misruled 1t is a great pity there
are so few men in the South fearless in
speech and action. If there were more
every carpet bagger, land every northern
man accepting a civil Office there is one
would receive the contempt of the true
Union spirit in the shape of severe castl-
CATION and expulsion.
But the meanest charge made against
the South by A P. H. is that of social
ostracism. He says-"I have seen and
conversed with leading men from at least
twenty counties IN the State, and they tell
me there is a perfect social ostracism OF
their families IN the communities in which
they live. The most of these men were
land holders" The men with whom he
conversed were doubtless ike himself
carpet baggers among honest people; per-
sons who went there for spoils of war, to
get by fair means or foul, Southern wealth,
and by such getting (mostly by cheating)

served. They have no business in the
South, unless they intend to attain to
wealth and position upon honor, and not
by the filthy course Of stratagem, loss of
character, stealing false principles, impo-
sition, and upon the stenched vote of the
negro.
The principle of a. P. H. is dlsloyal,
because he discourages emigration to the
South, thereby depriving the Government
Il. E., bureau officers and other superfuous
ottlcials) of a large amount of revenue ;
and lest northern Union men at heart
should locate there and help build up the
Republic, so completely eradicated by the
Abolition party, does all he can to keep
them away. In the advice to Emil
grants" is seen A. P. HIS full intention
If people from the North in favor of negro
coolie equality and monarchism wish to
move South, they must not go, he says, in
isolated families, but if however, num-
Der Of families would 60 to the same neigh
borhood, they could practice perfect social
ostraclsm with the Southern people, thus
IN time command the wealth, power and
sole control IN the South, and create new
order of things. That is his beautiful idea
of reconstruction p and one which he
seems to consider a crushing out and out
argument
1t is to be regretted that such a loyal
man as A. P. II. mas finally decided that
he wont live in Virginia. He emphatic
ally declares, 81 had no idea of settling
here (oh, no } and if had, would give
1t up now" Of course he gives it up. He
didn't 60 there to settle, but was ordered
to Virginia on official business, (under a
good salary and at the same time to earn
an honest penny by corresponding with
abolition newspapers North, exagerating
and lying from the beginning, in order to
vent his spleen and incense the northern
mind against people who regard him as
an officious interloper, a robber of their
peace and a distardly coward Even the
negroes are rapidly learning to practice
social ostracism against him and his class,
now that they are beginning to see their
hypocritical Intentions.
And did the northern soldiers know to
what extent A. P. H. and his kind OF
people have degraded their labor of the
war, they, too, and all their friends would
ostracise him and them. He says, in speak
ing of Gen. Armstrong; college for freed
men at Hampton Within a stones

He is right if they did (?) die to save a
nation, but the revelations and acknowl-

assertions made by bold politicians, prove
the fact that a nation was not saved, but
that one was destroyed-not destroyed BY

dominant Radical mongrel party. Equal.
