Commitment to lhe somth.

NJ H. v Redfeld, the Cincinnati
Commercials Southern correspondent
pays tue people of the South the follow
ing compliment:
"The Southern people loathe a man
who Uses Fublic Office TO enrich him
self. Whatever may BE theirfaults, they
are honest They do not worship the
almighty dollarto the extent Of barter
ing away their honor for it, The old
Southern FIRE eating Democrats. we are
taught, were wicked men, aud wicked
they were about something's, but they
didn't use their Offices to fl their peck
cts. They did not form rings to make
money, or to establish gift enterprises
This old fashioned honesty, this abhor-
renee Of Anything that looks like prosti-
tutng public Offices 20 private gain, is
as abhorrent to the Southern people now
as it ever was and probably more so, for
they have been called upon since the
war to have considerable experience with
that sort Of thing. aud TO know II Is not
TO love it, especially when it Is done at
their expense For the past six years
the Southers, States have been converted
into an arena of robbery, presenting
scene uuexampled iu the world history
Yet Southern born men have had little
TO do with it, Your true Southerner, ii
he has sense enough TO get an Office, has
too much honor to steal. Ia all inv ex
perieuce as cores pondeut Of the Conn
mercial, in the different Southern States,
have found the worst thieves, the most
insatiate robbers. to be Northern men.
There has been more stolen ia South
Carolina, or in Louisiana since the war,
than 10 al the Southern States put to-
gether, from the revolution TO 1860.

The IcoHdR, also, argues the poliV'
cal view of the case, asserting that opr

may say, We raised DO soeh point. we

to the State or to the Democratic party
G5the State. We are prepared to ac
knowlege such obligations to the proper
source. In view of the large Democratic
maiorities which these counties have
always given, this neglect, appears like
injustice from the party which has often
times derived its power from these very
majorities. But, we now have no eandi-
date before the State for favor; and be
sides the argument has no bearing upon
the points being discussed, and We there

Apprchensions are felt that the United
States is to be involved in a foreign war
to distract attention from the efforts to
carry southern elections by the uuscru-
pulous enforcement Of the KukIux bill.
The Corean difficulty was brought about
By American Entertainments or American
laundering. Then our seamen made a
gallant fight against large body of poor
~ armed Coreaus but we're obliged to
retire The puzzle has been ever since
what to do about it, A war with Corea
will probably result in war with China.
VI neither it would do so or not the war
with Corea will necessitate an invasion
by American forces. 1t is not certain
that destroying forts and killing thou
sands of Coreans will restore amicable
relations. The war may have to be prose-
cuted with intent to conquer and annex
Corea. This might suit Commodore
Porter who is now asking for light
dranght steamers capable Of navigating
Corean river. It might suit Grant since
the invasion of Corea would certainly
distract some attention from San Do
mingo and the efforts to carry southern
elections, but it is not certain that war
to conquer Corea would be unpopular
with the American people.

IT is very apparent that the programme
which the Grant Ring have cut out, to
secure a new lease of power in 1872, is
the manufacture Of a prejudice at the
North, By the old war cry of "KuKlux, -
while doubtless the attempt will be made
to carry one or more Southern States at
the point of the bayonet The suit which
the Ring, however, hopes to make
trumps" in the next deal, is the Kuklux
suit. Accordingly, where lawlessness
does occur in the South it will be studied
" and grossly exa ggerated. The merest
street collision or cross roads melee will
be tortured ingeniously into social ter
rorism. If enough "outrages" do not
occur. they will be provoked. it indeed
the hired emissaries Of the Ring do not
invade the South aud don the babiliments
of KuKlux, and commit violence in
order to bring reproach upon the section
which is to be vietimized. This is Grants
politics or, rather, it is the politics of
the managers who are managing Grant.
That functionary is already issuing his
proelamations and suspended the writ of
bsbeas corpus, aud declaring martial law.
