shisting the responsibility.

Whenever the radical party docs any
thing excessively mean and outrageous
hich they find it impossible TO Defend so
strong is the public indignation against IT.
they begin 10 look about for scnpe'goa's,
and try to throw off and shift the respon'
sibility upon them. Thus Davis is trying
to shift the responsibility Of declaring
martial law from his own shoulders, VII re
it is beginning to weigh too heavily, upon
the back of his miserable tool, Oliver, and
others. So republican papers ut the North
and West are trying to ease Grant ana
throw all the blame upon Gov. Davis and
his ipul set. All this is natural enough,
but II will not DO. Intelligent PEOPLE know
better. They are all 10 blame and oil re-
sponsible, from the corrupt head to the dir
" toes. Oliver acted in consultation With
Davis and with his sanction, and DAVIS
acted In consultation with Grant and with
his sanction, and Il Is Useless to deny it,
FROM the heights Of Washington down TO
the d epths Of Austin and Limestone, they
are all guilty and black with politic'l
crime. No white washing can cover or
hide it, no wriggling and shifting OF re-
sponsibility for this damning imposition
Of martial law upon a peaceful and unof.
Tending community and robbing them un-
der color Of bayonet law, will avail to saiis-
fy an honest public. Grants doing he came
thing, in substance, and il has been done
time and again since the radical party has
been in power, and il is n part Of its fixed
policy. II is, indeed, the very essence Of
radicalism. Rad;calism is despoiism-is
corrupIion-is public rohbing-is false
hoods crime. That is what il is all over
and ettry wbe:e.
