circumstances alter cases. The times
change, and we change with them. The
truth of these old sayings is daily eXempli-
lied, at least in politics but for all that
we are none the less surprised when we
see men swallowing their own words with
out even a grimace. Ole of th7 most
striking instances Of this is to be found in
the course of the New York Ecening
Post. To-day the Post is, perhaps, the
aolest and most efficient administration
paper III the country, in both National and
State politics. Night and day it labors
ably, diligently, insidiousIy and unscrupu-
lously, emitting neither argument to the
reason nor appeal TO the passions of its
readers, to advance the cause o. General
Grant and his friends. Some OF tie most
malignant and most dangerous, because
the most insidious, appeals tC the bascr
passions of the Northern people that have
appeared during this campaign, are to be
Iound In the files of the New York
Eeening Post. Indeed, if the hands of
Northern and Southern men shall not be
clasped IN reconciliation across the bleodv
chasm that has so long separated them, it
will, in great measure, be due to the
teachings of that paper
But the worst of it all is, that the Post
Porsues its course in defiance of its own

1t is learned from Indiana that Senator
Morton, in his anxiety to carry Indiana, Is
swapping State candidates for candidates
for the Legislature, it being his hope to
re-elect himself in the Senate, he having
little or no hope of electing the Grant can
didate for Governor.
The Charlestown CIV. Va.) Free Press
notices the exodus of colored men from
that place and other points in that State to
Pennsylvania. In the past three weeks, it
states, one hundred and fifteen negro men
have taken the cars at this place for Penn
sylvania, and many more are expected to
go.
Governor Hendricks thinks he and the
rest of the candidates on the Liberal ticket
will carry Indiana by ten thousand major
ity. From our information we have no
doubt the majority will reach that figure in
a fairly-conducted election.-Louisuilte
COuricT-JOunGi.
The indications are that the three great
States of Pennsylvania, Indiana, and per-
haps Ohio, will give decisive Liberal ma
jorities, and that West Virginia will not
return a single Radical to Congress. If 1t
should turn out thus, Mr.. Greeley's election
in November will be an assured fact.
The importation of negroes into Indiana
for the purpose cf voting is likely TO involve
other troubles, as it is reported that many
have left districts infected with smallpox,
and will spread that loathsome disease
wherever~they go to carry out the infamous
purposes of the Radicals.
EX- Governor VIM. +. Johnston is the
Democratic and Liberal candidate for Con.

Buckalew. These are Johnston, Bigler

and the Philadelphia Mint supports him

The kind Of work being done in Penn
sylvania last week may be estimated by
the fact that there was 135 Democratic
meetings held throughout the State, under
the auspices of Sam1 Randall's Democratic
committee, while the Liberal Republican
Republican State committee held about 81
meetings, making in all 100 such meetings,
or three to each county.
George Alfred Townsend calls attention
to the fact that Schuyler Colfax, as we'll as
his successor, James G. Blaine, the former
and present Speakers of the House, kept ,
the head of the Pacific Railroad committee
Oakes Ames, the briber, who was all the
while a brother Of the President of the
Union Pacific railroad, and member of
the Credit Mobilier.

does not like the acquittal of Mrs. Fair on
the ground of emotional insanity, and re-
lieves its feelings in the following emphatic
words
1T is enough to make man lose all
faith in jury trials, if not in human nature,
to see what figure insanity cuts as an
excuse for homicides. If a man kills his
wife, or a woman her husband, from jeal-
ousy-that is insanity. If man shoots
another for tampering with the shooters
wite-that is insanity. If woman kills a
man for seducing her-that is insanity
The woman may have married another
man afterwards, and so condoned the first
oflense-but still it is insanity. A simple
breach Of promise-no criminality involved
is sufficient ground for shooting the pro-
mise breaker. If man SANDERS woman
she can shoot him, and that is called insan-
ity. Or her brother, or husband, or next
friend, or any self-constituted champion,
can do the killing and adopt the plea of
insanity, and able counsel will get him OIL"

FITz HUGH ST.. CLAIR, TIE SOUTH
CAROLINA REBEL Boy, is tile title of a
new book from the gifted pen of Mrs. Sallie
F. Chaplin, of Charleston, 5. c., published
in Philadelphia by Claxton, Remsen 4
Hafelfnger.
This is, in every sense of the word, q
Southern book, well-suited for the times,
and in it the past and present grievances
Of the South arc faithfully portrayed. The
talented authorcss understands her sub
ject, and has deIineated Southern life and
character in their true cOlOrs.
1t is we'll said: ''It is no crime to be born
a gentleman; 20 which, however, this
may be added, in the language of Chief
Justice Taylor, of North Carolina: g De-
scent from line of illuStriOuS ancestors is
only creditable to the man who finds in
their virtues incentives to an honorable
course of conduct, ard who thence feels
himself pledged to the scrupulous discharge
of every duty and the anxious cultivation
of every virtue. But to him who passes
through life in utter disregard of these
high obligations, distinguished lineage is
an added opprobriun."
This truth pervades the whole of Mrs.
Chapin's interesting book, who admonishes
our Southern boys not to be ashamed of
their fathers who fell battling for The
Lost Cause" but to add increased lustre
to the ancestral name by selfreliant
deeds Of valor in every honest department
of life, and in the development of the rich
resources of our fair Southern land.

Where the Money Comes From.

When it was charged, just before the
North Carolina election, that large sums of
money had been sent to North Carolina
OStenSibly to de1ray the expenses of the
United States COultS, but really for polti-
cal purposes, the defenders of the Admin
istration vowed by all that was sacred that
not penny had been spent beyond the
absolute necessities of justice, and that the
expenditure was little if anything in excess
of the average for previous years. Now
the truth is beginning to come out. A let
ter from Washington gives some curious
facts, the Interpretation of which seems
obvious enough. Until recently the ap-
preparation for United States Courts has
been about $500, 900 year. For the year
ending June 30, 1872, however, President
Grant asked and obtained an appropriation
ofno less than two millions, and by de-
ficiency bill in May last he got an allow
ance of an additional million. With an
appropriation six times as large as the or
dinary expenditure he ought to have been
able to prosecute the Ku-Klux cases, en-
force the bayonet law, and have consid-
erable surplus; but now the acting First
Controller Of the Treasury gives notice to
court officers that the money is all gone,
and their unsettled accounts cannot lie
paid.
Where it has gone we can easily guess.
Marshal Carrow took S25O,OOO to North
Carolina, instead of the $4,000 which has
usually suaiced for that State, and with
that sum he kept in pay during the can
vass perfect army of deputy marshals
and deputy commissioners, who had moth
ing whatever to do except to make Grant
voters. Moreover, the acting Controller
says that "the sums drawn by several of
the marshals have proved to be in excess
of the amounts needed by them" How
this could occur, when their acquisitions
had to be audited and approved in the
office of the Attorney-General before a
cent could be paid on them, the Admins
tration will perhaps be able to explain
What use has been made Of this money ?
What pretext was given for drawing it out
of the Treasury? Why is it not returned
at once? In States where Ku-Klux vio-
lence and illicit distilling have prevailed in
past years, deputy marshals with surplus
funds in hand are almost irresistible as
electioneering agents, and we shall be
greatly surprised if use be not found for
that money before the 9TH of November.

TO be Made During the Trip.
Mr.. Greeley quietly left the city Ties
day for Kurtztown, Pa, by the New Jer-
sey Central road, at one o'clock. During
the morning number Of gentlemen callcd
on him to ascertain if he intended to de
liver any political speeches. during his alb
sence, to which Mr.. Greeley replica i'll the
negative, and added that his only object i'll
revisiting the Keystone State was to make
good the promise which he made some
time ago to deliver an address at the Berks
County Fair. Since his return from Penn
sylvanla he has been the recipient Of a
number of invitations from members of
the different State Committees, but as yet
has refused to accept. BY his own request
his departure from the city Tuesday was
kept quiet, and the consequence was that
few people were at the depot, and not un-
til he was aboard the cars did any of them
know of his presence. AT the conclusion
of his address at Kurtztown he will return
to this city and proceed 10 Long Island,
where he delivers all address at the Suffolk
county fair on Thursday, and on Friday
will visit his family at Chappaqua.

Upon the return of this writ, and after
examination of the witnesses for the State
