The Dispatch has very proper cstimat,
OF that madman Gambetta He is beau
: tiful,specimen of representative man
F.. France is truly unfortunatei She has moi
: produced a single man since the beginning
of the war--soldier or civilan--fit to direct
the government or command the armies.
Our contemporary says:
Gambetta Is indeed representative mana
beacon to guard the French from disaster. He
Is one of the school OF France that has brought
upon her more miseries than even the corrup-
tons and depravities of her kingly courts.
The latter were undoubtedly the cause Of much
sufering--much oppression of the people but
the evils that flowed from the extreme Of
anarchy, which may be said to be legitimate
result OF royal expressions, exceeded in their
mseries and horrors anything that ever came
o. the tyranny of kings
:, Gambettas furious addresses to helpless
france are the madness of Red Republication.
We do not wonder at the cry "ViyeP En-
| pereur" of the Mobiles. They may well be
sick of Red Republication. OF all earthly
improvements, that Of the Red Republican is
the most terrible. 1t is the condensation of
impracticabilitp, madness, and ferocity.
Yes; and we believe the Emperor Is the
only man who can save France now from
herself. He is her best man, and the war
has proved it. The best thing for the
nation and the world will be his restoration |
to the imperial throne. A strong govern
ment in strong hand is now what
is needed, land Napoleon Is the man.
The Republic must be postponed. 1t
cannot be built up out of this wreck,
with anarchy and chaos for its foundation
stones. We, too, say, with the sensible
Mobiles, " Nve rEmperear !"
The Dispatch is anxious that the Presi-
dent should veto the bill repeating the
Of course. 1t takes not only too
much capital from the Democratic party
in the South, but it will, also deoimate
their ranks. They are afraid the young
men who have some hopes of preferment |
may be induced to join the Republican /,
party, and aspire to Federal Office. We i
nave heard great many Democrats regret T
he passage of the bill because it will i
weaken their party, and there was not t
ingle one of their papers that asked this v
,reat boon, which removes the disabilities b
t at least eight millions of people.
The Dispatch hopes the President will o,
eto it. Prescription helps the Democ- to
acy. We hope he will not, because we
elieve--frst, that it will go far towards
7storluS nafmouy and g0od-Ieeling, ana
,condly; because it will prove the libe-
'lity of the Republican party and IN
ease its strength in the South.
We are sorry to see a very bitter and
olent article in the Dispatch this morn be
* against Northern men and native Re- Of
nblicans. 1t is in reply to the Cincinnati "a
ommerciai. Is there no other way to
lid up the Democratic party in the
'uth, save through perpetuating the pas
BUS, prejndices and animostios of the T.,
ar, and forcing Republicans to adopt re- sh,
liatory measures ma
The object OF the Dispotchs article is wb
vious. 1t does not want peace. 1t de- str
es that the President shall veto the test S %o
tn bill, and that Congress shall pass
rther measures of reconstruction to make |
'mocratic votes here but we warn it to p ds
ware that it does not go little too far call
o'erleap itself 1t may produce re-
tior at the North that will not DO plea
at to it. You are sowing dragons teeth,
lghbor. "
