Emery.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
The Southern Republicans insist that
the President has definitely promised that
| General Emory shall be removed from COM
mand in Louisiana and General Terry be
ordered to supersede him by January l.
The complaints against General Emory, on
the part of the Southern Republicans, are
Of long standing. Before t. e Penn insur-
rection the complaints were very frequent.
During that revolution neither the Presi-
dent nor any of his Cabinet were satisfied
with the administration of General Emory.
The objections In no way affect Emory's
character as a man, but refer to his
INDIGESTION Of character and lack of
executive ability. Il was an absence of
these qualities that during the McEnery-
Penn emelde, forced from the President his
noted Geographic order to Emory: "Put
down the instruction and report after
wards" The Southern Republicans also
charge that Gen. Emory has such personal
and family relations with the Southern
Democrats as to disqualify him tor hearty
cooperation with the President in support
ing the kellogg Government. At the OUT
break of the civil war, it was generally
supposed that Emory would Join the South
ern forces, and it is said that peculiar
chance alone prevented such action on his

jet to De Trooriand, the subordinate Off
Ger whom Emory has designated as COM
mandant of the city Of New Orleans. They
say that De Trobriand is himself creole,
and that he is a boon companion of the
White League leaders in all social festivi-
ties.
Il is understood that if this changes
made, il will show that the President his
practically abandoned any expecta-
ton of action on the part of
Congress defining the status of
Louisiana and the kellogg Government.
The President, whether or not he erred in
first recognizing the kellogg Government,
insists that, in the absence of definite Con-
greSsional action, he has no alternative but
to continue his executive recognition of that
government. The fears of future
trouble IN LOUISIANA, IN the
event Of the continued support of
kellogg by the President, are not dis
PEELED, and it is for this reason that thor
Oughly experienced military commander Of
high rank is desired at New Orleans. The
President once thought Of designating Gen.
Sheridan for that position, but Sheridan,
when last here, very earnestly protested
agsiust any change in his assignment.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26.-The faal re-
port of the Returning Board is published,
announcing the result heretofore indicated.
Moncure, Conservative candidate for State
Treasurer Is declared elected. Governor
Kellogg states that the returns show three
Republican and three Democratic members
of Congress. The House is nearly, if not
quite, tie, as Ex-Governor Hahn and 9th
er Conservative Republicans will probably
remain neutral. The constitutional amend
ments are declared carried by 10000 maiori-
ty. Bienville parish, which gave Grant
and kellogg 600 votes in 1872, and Dubuc-
let no vote this year, is not counted. Grant
parish, the scene Of the Colfax massacre, is
also thrown out, though it gave a small
Republican majority.

The Disseminated woman.

1.-THE Disconnected woman" says the
Saturday Review, would seem to be
becoming an anpleasantly familiar type
of character. A really contented woman,
thoroughly pleased with her duties and
her destiny, may almost be said to be
the exception rather than the rule in
these days of tumultuous revolt from all
fixed conditions, and vagrant energies
searching for interest in new spheres of
thought and action. 1t seems impossible
to satisfy the disconnected woman by
any means short of changing the whole
order of nature and society to her ben
eft; and even then the chances are that
she would get wearied of her own work,
and, like Alexander, weep for more
worlds to rearrange according to her own
liking, with the power to take or to leave,
as her humor might decide, the duties
she had voluntarily assumed, as she
claims now the power of discarding
those which have been given her from
the beginning"

Negro Drilling.

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
notice in yesterdays Appeal COM
munication from Civis IN which an
effort is made to defend the recent riot
GUS and insolent demonstrations OF GER
tain negroes of Memphis by casting
abuse and threats at your paper. Let
me assure you that your course IS fully
Endorsed by the NEST respectable and
orderly portion of the community-a
portion that would most sincerely regret
riot and bloodshed, but at the same time
deem it proper and advisable that the
public should be made cognizant Of all
acts on the part of any of its citizens
calculated to produce such deplorable
results.
l live in South Memphis, and the sill
ence Of night is frequently disturbed in
my neighborhood by the beating of
drums and the marching and counter
marching of negroes, engaged in what
they term drilling
! do not say that bloodshed will be the
result, but l do know that hen-roosts,
potato patches and gardens generally
have suffered, and some cows have very
mysteriously disappeared.
| am aware that soldiers, in time OF
war; have to be fed at public expense,
but in South Memphis, in time of pro-
found peace and quiet, we do not care to
have contributions levied for the support
OF an amateur negro soldiery, especially
when we are not present when such con-
tributions are made and get no quarter
masters receipt. We inform Civis
that the editors of the LEDGER are not
guilty of sedition, but they would be
guilty of even worse, and incur the con-
tempt and scorn of all decent people,
were they to refrain from publishing any
facts they may derive concerning the ne
groes of Memphis. o. X.

Credit of the Republic of Cuba
Catholicism in the old and New
World.
New YORK, June s.-Allegations hav-
ing been made recently that Cuban
bonds were placed in Washington for the
purpose Of corruption, Senior Aldermas,
the only agent in this country and who
is authorized to pledge the credit of the
republic of Cuba by bonds or otherwise,
writes to say that he has always had too
high an opinion Of The American Con-
gress to attempt to sway its action in re-
gard to the belligerency question by any
corrupt means.
A letter from Rome speaking of the
Vatican says A curious fact to make
record of is, that one frequently hears
the United States praised for its liberal
treatment of Catholics both now and
with few exceptions in the whole course
of its history. The only serious oAense
charged against the United States is that
we will still persist in maintaining those
dreadful public schools, which makes it
less and less hopeful for the Jesuits to
find in that vast country ground for the
propagation of the doctrines of Syllabus
and Papal infallibility. The priests say
that what the Catholic church has lost in
Europe in the past two centuries has
been more than made up by what it has
gained in the New World The first
steps have been taken and before long
Beatifcation will be bestowed by the
church upon the name of Christopher
Columbus. The examination of his
title to Catholic heroism has for some
time, by command of the Pope, engaged
the attention of the doctors of canon
law. The claim is founded upon the
great act as being no less than that of
inspiration by which Christopher en-
larged the boundaries of the Christian
world.

THOSE ARMS.

The appearance of armed and wen
dr;lled negro companies upon our streets
naturally excited an inquiry as to where
the arms came from. The Circumstance
was noticed with more anxiety than
usual by reason of the excitement pre-
vailing all over the country in regard to
the civil rights bill still before Congress.
The parade through the streets was fol-
lowed by scenes of disorder and vio-
leuce at the National Cemetery. The
public mind at once jumped at the con-
lecture that the Pole Bearers were some
thing more than a mere benevolent or
ranization. We think still that they are
used for political purposes, and that
muskets are not essential to a purely
charitable society. But in regard to
the source from whence they procured
those arms, we are glad to say
that we have some information which
will put at rest for the present some
painful suspicious. A gentleman of un-
doubted verscity informs US that his
firm bought the guns in question at
government sale one year ago on specula-
ton. They are Harper's Ferry muskets,
long since superseded by other patterns.
The guns, one hundred in number, did
not 90 off readily, that is, would not sell,
and afterward the whole lot was rented
out on parade occasions to the Pole
Bearers. tits stated that on every oc-
casion the guns were returned IN good
order. The senior member of the house
is absent and has been several weeks on
account Of i'll health. On decoration
day it seems clerk let the Pole Bearers
have the arms as usual This will not
in all probability occur again. Such
is the explanation offered and We have
no reason to doubt it. This removes at
least the idea that the guns we're loaned
by the government or secured through
political influences. We are more than
gratiGed to be able to make this state
ment, in the interest of peace and order.
So long as the negroes are law abiding,
peaceable and true to their newly as
sumed obligations as citizens, they can
look to such independent and outspoken
journals as the LEDGER for all the en-
couragement and countenance they de-
serve; but if they propose to array them
selves as class against the whites, the
consequences must rest on their own
heads. Political leaders are their bane
and curse; they need to think and act
for themselves instead Of being mere
jumping jacks moved by strings in the
hands Of artful demogogues.
