CaSrwELL AND CANOVA. LIBEL

The Lynchburg Rep"bt'can, we
regret to learn, is in trouble, and all
about a s.libel.'' It seems that the
Republican published a letter from
one of its correspondents, stating that
certain post master, one doc
Bradley, had absconded, taking with
him, money that did not belong to
him. It appearing that the statement
was not founded upon fact the
proper correction was made and the
name of the correspondent was fur
nished s'Doc." But ''Doc" is mex
orable, and insists upon 'golng Tor
tie Republican at all hazards and
Regardless of expense.
The Petersburg appeal hastens to
express its sympathy for the Rcp"dt-
scqn. \ fellow feeling as Mrs. Par
| tington says, makes us wonlrous kind.
The Appeal proposes to shake hands
with its Lynchburg contemporary,
across the bloody chasm, for it too
once had q libel suit on its hands,
|occasioned by criticism it ventured
TO make on the conduct of one OF the
Petersburg city officials.
Influenced by that same =" fellow "
feeling, the JOURNAL begs leave to add
its warmest expressions Of sympathy
and coincidence to those Of the Appeal.
We, too, also know how it is ouself.
AZ the appeal truly says, it is try
ing and terrible thing to be sued for
libel, and we fear when this storm
shall break on the head Of our Lynch
burg contemporary, it will make its fur
fly, and its bones freeze with misery
and despair.
But while we sympathise most
earnestly it'll our Virginia friends,
we sympathise more deeply still with
ourselves. "There is but one WASH
1NGToN and but one CANovA," was
the sole argument of its advocate,
when discussing before the Legisla-
ture Of North Carolina the expe
diency of making the appropria-
ton for the statue of the Father of his
Country, by the great sculptor. We
can say, and with equal truth, that
though there may be more than one
libel, there certainly is not in all this
wide world but one CANTwELL.
Canova chiselled Washington out of
la piece of marble. Cantweu is chisel-
ling the JOURNAL out of that peaceful
frame Of mind SO necessary to every
well conducted press.

SHERMAN VS.. DAVIS.

General Sherman has been inter-
viewed on the subject of the proposed
further massacre of the Modoc cap
tiVes by General Davis, that, but for
the timely aid of the telegraph, would
have been accomplished.
Our illustrious General Sherman
thinks it would have been highly
immoral for General Davis to have
hung the Modocs, even though he
would thereby have saved the United
States Government the expense of
their trial. General Sherman has "a
soul above buttons" and cares nothing
for expense, so long as the people have
to foot the bills.
But it does seem strange that the
man who could justify beforehand,
and by official order, the utter exter-
mination of whole tribe of Indians,
men, women and children, old and
young, guilty and innocent alike, and
without single exception, should
condemn the proposed hanging of a
lew warriors Of that tribe, known to
be guilty of the most fragrant crimes,
and that, too, when it could have been
done at the expense of only couple
|of dozen of skinned logs
We have heard nothing equal to it
since the denial, under oath. of this
same General Sherman of any respoa-
|sibiity for the destruction of Columbia,
Ia city that he himself saw burn while
in possession of his own army.
This is the same General Sherman

has committed the sins charged
against him, that it is matter
with which the public has no con-
Germ, and that ought not to be investi-
gated, for the reason, among others,
that the nature of his calling subjects
him to special temptation, to tempta-
ton so great that it is idle to expect
any one whose emotional faculties are
as highly cultivated as preachers must
be, to resist it.
But the question is too revolving to
pursue at length. Turn wherewe will,
we find it to be the case That whenever
men discard the Bible and it's plain
teachings for their own vain imagin-
ings, corruption and degradation and
decentralization invariably follow, and
though they may possibly become in
tellectual in theory they certainly be-
come beastly in practice.

Tknx. D91YsOEI REALIZATION OF TIE
TIMES.

The New York Herald in its issue of
last Monday has a full account of the
nude models OF New York, and plumes
itself on its journalistic enterprise in
being the first to lay the valuable in
formation before the public. The
Hcrala thinks it matter for congrat-
ulation that the New York Academy
of Design contains ''life school, to
the maintenance Of which both sexes
contribute, and hopes ''the time will
." soon come when in this city and
q" country the nude in art shall be ap-
" preciated in its purity and integrity,
60 and when the services of the model
CO shall be recognized as constituting
" a respectable profession, in which
60 training. intelligence and self-dignity
GO are essentials
1t may be indicative of rural notione
of propriety that we are unable to see
any necessity for educating the public
mind to appreciate "the purity and in
tegrity of ",Le nude" Our notions
upon such matters may aaqt rise to the
level of the progress and civi1izstiof2,
Of this enlightened age, but we can
not help It. We can not bring our
selves to think that q ''false shame"
that brings the blush to the check of
pure young girl when "the pude''
comes before her eyes, We sincerely
trust that the Southern people, atleast,
will never attain the degree of edaca-
ton thought to be SO desirable by the
Herald.
Another instance showing how far
the generation of the present day has
drifted away from the old landmarks,
is to be found in an editorial in the
last Washington Capital, discussing
the Beecher scandal.
The broad ground is there taken
that if it be true that Beecher

will cross into Mexico andpillsge, and
when pursued, escape upon United
States territory, inviting counter raids
by the Mexicans. I'm the light of past
events their fears are reasonable.
So long as the weak course indicated
in this series of events is pursued, can
there be any help for Indian massacres
and white massacres ? If savages like
Satanic and Big Tree, who are convict
ed of cruel, .aurder and robbery, al
ways escape punishment, they will al
ways murder and rob, and the VIII ties
upon whom they prey will take the
law in their own hands as I ften as they
get a chance. Is it not time the gov
eminent should take a practical view
of the question, and indulge less in
sentimental theories

raised In the country about such hu.

Is General Sherman getting jealous
OF General Davis growing reputation
as an expert in murder and massacre,

man think it is his exclusive privilege
to burn cities and massacre peoples?
Really, we think the General Com

that career of inhumanity that makes
countless thousands mourn.

It is true that General Davis did

General Sherman has done nothing

Kellogg IL Briber and s;Orrup-
ZIONIST.

The following from the Nebraska
correspondent of the Chicago Times,
is an appreciate compliment to the
services of Governor" Kellogg as a
Judge during his brief soiourn in that
new State, from which he was elected
into the Custom House of New Orleans:
The only Jealous missionary ever
furnished Nebraska was the present
Governor of the State of Louisiana,
the Right Hon. William Pitt Kellogg.
he ''late lamented' A. Lincol1, con
ferred upon the Territory of Nebraska
the inestimable blessing of making Mr..
Kellogg its Chief Justice and impious-
minded copperheads called him Neces-
sity Kellogg, because, like old Mr.
Necessity, he knew nD law. AS iurist,
Mr.. Kellogg was not deeper than a
gopher hole, and was more than twice
us crooked.
In a pre-emption case at Omaha, in
voIvinG many thousands of dollars
(the case of Smiley VS.. Somebody
whose name has faded from memory,
Judge William Pitt Kellogg, then
Chief Justice of Nebraska, now Gov
ernor, by the grace of Grant and the
force of arms, of the State OF Louisiana,
took not only a lively interest, but a
pec'lniary interest. In short, he traded
for an interest in land in litigation be-
fore him IL his court, and then decided
the cause SO as to make his own title
good.
Bnt Poppleton and Woolworth, not
having the fear of Kellogg before their
eyes, took the matter to the Supreme
Court of the United States There it
was ascertained by Judge David Davis
that he Davis himself had been in
tluced to purchase by some Illinois
friends-Pltt Kellogg was from Illinois
and knew Davis well he always averred-
an interest in the very land now be
fore him dis judge of the Supreme
Court of the United States, in contro-
versy as to it's title and Judge David
Davis refused to sit in the cause, and

guilty of crime i'll Office, to which

CRAMPS INDIAN POLICE-IN-
yITING IYNCH.LAW FOR IN

The New York Ereni,ag Post, COM
menting upon the policy of the Fedora,
Government toward the Indians. says:
A dispatch in morning paper from
Washington says, in relation TO those
two Indians, Satanic and Big Tree,
now under sentence of death for their
crimes, that "there seems to be no
doubt thai the chiefs will soon be re-
stored to their people" This tender
allusion relates to men guilty of the
most horrible atrocities, as these
"chiefs" are under sentence of death
for having led an attack for the sake
of plumber upon a company travelling
across the plains, setting fire TO the
wagons behind WHICH the drivers had
entrenched themselves, and roasting
alive such of them as they eould not
shoot. They We're arrested by the
Texas authorities, tried and con-
demned for murder, and have
been confined in the State prison
awaiting execution. A few weeks
ago, as a part of the "Indian policy"
orders were sent from Washington to
release these murderers, in order to
conciliate their friends. Governor Da-
Wis stoutly protested against this course
as liable to create dissatisfaction among
the white settlers on the border, who
threatened to take the punishment of
the Indians in their own hands unless
strict justice could be enforced The
administration, however, it seems, in
sists upon the release of these muir
derers, and they will soon be, no doubt,
restored to the bosoms OF their inter-
esting families, probably with new
blankets of the latest pattern and the
A2ost recently-invented breech-loading
rifles.
Another despate1. brings from the
officers of the Oregon volunteers a de-
NAL that their men were engaged in
the recent massacre of the Modoc cap
tives. The more reasonable theory is
that the murders were committed by
an impromptu vigilance committee of
settlars who have lost all confidence in
the governments furnishing those saw
ages for the many deeds of murder
and arson they have visited upon the
people of Oregon.
At the same time we notice that the
newspapers Of California are denounc-
ing with somo bitterness the Treaty
of Peace" which General Howard re
gently made with the Indians of New
Mexico and ARIZONA. The willy chiefs
in this negotiation demanded that the
clause of the agreement which pro-
hibited their crossing the border into
Mexico and escaping the penalties for
any acts committed there should be
struck out. and General Howard con-
scented. II is said that already the
movements of tn. Sc Indians, who are
naturally marauders, lead the people
of the border to apprehend great trou-
bic. They anticipate that the Indians
