Carpet-baggers" and ''freedom-shriek-
ers' are all one. They have proved to be
rascals and rogues wherever they have got
ten power.-Dispatch.
This sweeping assertion of our generally
just and fair neighbor, must be regarded as
needing some qualification, even in the Dis
patch office. We make allowance for the
proneness of political journals to deal in
extravagant forms of speech, especially
when they speak of their more fortunate
opponents, who happen to occupy positions
in the gift of the people which they them
selves do not, and, for lack of certain quail
fications, cannot fill. But all rational and
sane-minded men should exercise enough Of
the mental discrimination given them, to
distinguish the true from the false, and to
be reasonable. if not just, in their judg-
ments. 1t is true that too many of those
selected to fill offices in the South have
criminally betrayed the trusts committed
to them and this is more particularly
true of the appointments made by Prcsi-
dent johnson. But admitting the truth of
this, is it not less the fault of the present
Administration than of the South itself :?
1t is well known that the President has
uniformly preferred the appointment CT a
Southern man to a Northern one, in the
filling Of Southern office, and that, other
things being equal, he has invariably
made his appointments on that rule
of preference. But such has been the
bitterness, asperity and illberality of the
general public mind, that no Southern man
could be found to take Office, for the reason
that, if he did SO, he would be Immediate
ly denounced as scallawag," and at
once classed III the frightful category of
carpet-baggers, so-called. VIII the
Dispatch deny the truth of this statement :?
Then why should it complain of the APP
pointments that are made, or be so unjust
and illiberal IN its statements as to embrace
all the appointees of the Administration in
single sweeping assertion, as it does Can
it name single "rogue" or "rascal" in
this city or in this State, holding such APP
pontment!-one, we mean, whom it is
willing to designate as such, in connection
with the office he fills? IF it can, and
will point him out to the President as such,
with only half the proof that would be
necessary to substantiate case in court, and
we will guarantee that the "rascal's" head
will roll into the guillotine basket in less
than half the time it has taken our con-
temporary to make its sweeping assertion.
We denounce the assertion of the Dispatch
as unjust, illiberal, splenetic, and foolish,
eren IN its oioa estimation.

any conceivable use to which they may be
put; and the universal testimony is, that
so long as these pests are permitted to run
at large, sheep-raising is out of the ques-
ton in the State. Will not the Legislature
change front on this subject, and still try
to give our farmers some sort of needed re-
lief? "We know how it is ourself;" for
we have suffered more pecuniary disadvan-
tage from miserable sheeb-killing ours,
than from any and all other sources Of dis
profit incurred by us since coming into the
State. VIII not somebody stir the echoes
in the old rafters of the State Capitol, and
wake up the dormitiye mind there, on this
subject?

OPINIONS or THE PRESS.

THE WoaAs's JoURSAL.-The friends of woman
suffrage, who wish TO keep the issue clear from
entangling alliances with other reforms and the
endless host of individual whims and vagaries--
who would pursue it with the same singleness of
aim that marks the movement in England, and
the temperance and other special reforms in this
country, have established a weekly paper the
Woman's Journal, published in Boston and Chi
cago, and edited by Mrs. Livermore, Mrs. Lucy
Stone, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mr.. VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, and Mr.. T. W. Higginson, assisted by
accomplished friends of the cause. The No
mans Journal is a fair and attractive paper in
appearance, while the variety and spirit of its
articles, and the dignity, selfrespeet, good
humor, and earnestness of its tone, will show
how profoundly mistaken are those who suppose
that folly and extravaganza are necessarily char
acteristic of the discussion of the question. The
Journal is indispensable to those who would
truly understand the character of the movement
and measure its progress.-Harper's Weekly
