Morton's War Whoop.

The Big lujuu of the Radical Wigwam,
the terrible Oliver p Morton, Senator in
Congress from Indiana, rider, rubber, and
groom of the stables to bis imperial msjes-
~, Ulysses the First, is again on the war
path. Saint Louis was selected, with due
reference TO theatrical effect, as the scene
of his first performance. There he appear
ed one day last week hideously bed,zened
10 appropriate costume of paint and feath-
ers, went through all the grimaces and gy-
rations of the classic war dance, fiourished
his bloody tomahawk and scalping-kni a
la made Tecumseh, and wound up with a
"yell OF sudden and portentous birth" that
woke the sleeping echoes Of the far of for
ests of Maine, and startled the wolf from
bis lair In the Businesses of the Cordileras
eve claim copyright for that curl; it is
not In Sergeants Speaker, or any other
compendium of American eloquence As
the horrid noise reverberated through the
South, carpetbagger aud scalawag yelled
in chorus, whilst all 'Rebeldom,' affrighted,
pale, aud trembling ir every limb, recog-
nlzed IN the unearthly dispason the kuell
of their approaching doom.
Morton has set the keynote Of tue Rad
ical campaign. We may expect no mercy
from that quarter. No more pardons for a.
ny who participated 10 the rebellion and
the Ku-Klux bill to be rigidly enforced
until all who are not for Grant are made
to bow their stubborn ne cks under the gal.
ling yoke of Radical bondage Morton's
speech contains wholesale charge against
the Southern soldiers of having in fact and
in spirit violated their plghted faith to the
government, and thereby forfeited all
claim to its protection. This is n base, un-
founded calumDy, which we did not expect
even from his viperous tongue, that 'out
venoms all the asps of Nile We defy
him TO show wherein one Of them has fail
ed 10 respect with religious fidelity the
terms OF his parole. We even challenge a
military commission, with a Hunter or a
Candy ut It's head to make good the accusa-
ton In single instance. But that is show
ing too much concern about the filthy
mou;hings of this slanderous rsnter. Let
the heather rage. The Radi party has
about done Us all the harm in their power.
They have one way aud another filched
from us nearly everything we possessed of
value to a free people save our honor and
our integrity to heaven.
Between us and the demon of Radicalism
there is eternal enmity. Persecution only
makes the fame Of intense, undying hatred
burn the brighter. From Morton, and ali
like him, the Southern people ask nothing,
hope nothing, and fear nothing. They be-
lieve that the day of their delieverance
from petty tyranny and heartless persecu-
ton is not far distant and that the next Pre-
siiential election will witness the consum
nation so ardeurly hoped for by good men
of all shades of political opinion in every
part of tn country.-Rih Era.

EFT citizen of Edinburgh, Scotland,
has invented a wheat grinding mill which
acts on an entirely new principle. The
wheat is reduced to -four by percussion of
series of bars, moving at immense speed
and in opposite directions. The grain, du
ring the operation, falls. freely, or is pro-
jccted, through the air. It is so instanta.
neousiy reduced to condition ready for
bolhng that no injurious hoat is produced.
The flour is superior to that obtained by
the usual method, and the cost is much less.

per that | voted thirty seven times or fftv-
seven times for JEFF. Davis did-to pre-
serve the Union. They tell you that every
time, but they don't tell you that the boat

es to make capital for himself in quarter
whore be thinks the violation of law in con-
noction with then existing domestic in
stiiution Of some Of the States was regarded
as n tolcrable if not noble thing. He
takes care not to assert fatty that he him
self did not run off slave and perhaps it
is we'll that he does not so assert, for there
