Their visit to this country has effected more
than any other thing, and in the team no one

"That's what 1 mean. I'm just aching for a

MISREPRESENTATION OF THEIR MOTIVES AND
ACTS.

Iron the special correspondent Of the New
York Tribune.]
NEW ORLEANS Oct. 13.-In the recent and
still existing anomalous condition Of affairs in
the South, the position of the officers of the
army and navy, who, alone of all the promi-
nent actors, are not rushing into print with
statements, is very liable to be misunderstood
or misrepresented. It is creditable to the ser
vice that these gentlemen, as class, studious-
ly hold aloof from politics but with all their
circumspection they cannot escape unjust
criticism. If they appear in public with an
of6ce-holding carpetbagger or scalawag there
are those who at once doubt their impair
TALLY even if they do not suspect them OF
completely in the crimes of the men whose
company official duty sometimes obiges
them to seek. On the other ehand, if they
mingle freely with the citizens gen
the charge is freely made that they sympa-
thize with the Conservatives, or the opposi-
ton to Radicalism by whatever name it may
be called. A few days ago Federal Office
holder complained that an army officer who
had been sent to one of the rural parishes to
keep the peace was afiliating with the White
Leaguers and sympathizing with their cause
When the proof was demanded he could only
say that the accused officer had received calls
from prominent citizens and returned them,
instead of combining his pursuit of society to
the contemplate gang who hold Offices under
the Kellogg usurpation. It may be natural
for the one class to dread the effect upon the
officers of Misrepresentation from unscru-
pulous partisans, and for the other to fear
the seductive influence of a refined hospi-
tality; but imagine the embarrassment of the
honest soldier under such circumstances. As
to the carpet-baggers and their set, the
orders by which he is compelled to support
the usurpation make it necessary for him to
know them, consult them, and to further
their plans. As to the other class, it compri-
ses in the country all, and in the cities nearly
all, of the intelligent and cultivated people,
and to shun this class would be not only to be
discourteous, but to abandon that position in
society which the rank and attainments of an
officer enable him to command, and which
constitutes one of the few amenities of mill
tary or naval life. The officer to whom the
complaint above referred to was informally
made expressed the idea fully when he said to
the complaining carpet-bagger, in defense of
his brother officer, "Well, what in the name
Of God would you have him do? If he de-
ponds on your set for society he would starve.
1t is bad enough to have to keep you fellows
in Office; that we do without word of objec-
ton; but when you begin to dictate what COM
pany we shall keep when we're off duty, by

The Benefit Of Plain Language.

There is no more powerful moral regene-
rator than plain Saxon. When community
gets to calling theft irregularity, malfeasance
in cfise confding innocence, and grand lar
ceny misrepresentation, we may rest assured
that official dishonesty is rife in it. There are
some people who cannot recognize a thief
under any of the euphemisms now so COM
mon. The power of words is greater than is
generally supposed. 1t has given rise to the
traditional saying, "What is in name. "
The lower class of knaves come to grief not
unfrequently because they are not adroit
enough in getting up q verbal disguise. One
of them stealsa coat, and if he cannot make
it appear that the mysterious vendor from
whom he had recently purchased it was real
person of blood and bones, he is branded as
malefactor and is sent to Jail The man who
deity ilches your purse, caught in the act, is
pronounced . thief, but the more dangerous
rascal who thrusts his hands up to the elbows
into the public treasury, tries to cover his
crime with the phrase 'misappropria9ion of
the public funds" If he should go, as he
often does, unwhipt of justice, no stigma at
taches to his name, while the door is slammed
in the face of the lesser criminal because he was
endowed with no pathological skill We no
tice now generally throughout the country a
return to the vigorous language which gives
the old designations to the old crimes 1t is
not unusual to find the man who has proved
unfaithful in high station designated rogue
One would suppose, however, that the brand
ing capacity Of plain English was losing its
power, when VIM. Pitt Kellogg is found
rising in perfectly passionless manner to
prove, by delusive figures, that he is lot q
thief We miss, to be sure, the indignation,
real or affected, which any man pretending to
q moral elevation above that of the pelliten-
tiary ought TO exhibit. But that marks rather
tho depth of the degradation that has been
reached than failure of the power of direct
plain language. e. California E1change.

An amusing passage at arms occurred be-
tween Mrs. j. G. Swisshelm and Miss Susan
B. Anthony during the session of the Woman's
Suffrage Association ct Chicago, on Thursday
last. OF course the wicked men enjoyed it
After Miss Anthony had spoken in favor of
universal suffrage, Mrs. Swisshelm obtained
the floor and said that she was in favor of al
lowing tax-psying women to vote, but the
women had injured their cause by demanding
too much; they had drawn their bow at the
sun, and might strike the moon. She liked
men better than she did women. If the
women, instead of making an issue against the
men, would only sit down by the side of the
men-they might even sit on one of their
knees-and ask for their rights they would be
more likely to receive them. Mrs. Swisshelm
concluded by saying that she knew more
about the men than did Miss Anthony.

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser is delighted
with the speech of Gen. Butler the other
night when he said the war is not yet ended.
"In that pregnant sentence" says the Com
mercial, "he gave the keynote of the cam
paign. He judges that sham peace which
allows the murder of men in every State of
the South on account of their principles. This
is truth that the Essex statesman has dared to
utter. His fearless bugle-blast is worth 10000
men for the Republican ticket in Massachu-
sets" Without presuming to doubt the &C.
curacy of this statement we venture to suggest
the value of Gen. Buffers fearless bugle-blast
has usually been computed by the thousand
dollars instead of the thousand men. He
charged Kellogg $4,000 for his fearless bugle-
blast, but only got $1,000, and nobody knows
how many thousand dollars Cakes Ames and
Jayne and Sanborn paid for his fearless bugle-
blast. It is one of the most expensive bugle-
blasts the country has ever produced.-M Y.

The kind of reform we shall have
when the Democracy get control Of

by the Democratic vote on the salar,
bill. The whole number of Democrats
in the house voting Oh the final passage
was lO2. OF these 63 roted FOR the
bill, and 80 against it. The per cent.
of Democrats voting for it was much
greater than the per cent. of Republi
cans. Had the Democrats voted against
