THAT bloody chssm of 1872 across which
there was such a general clasping Of hands,
seems to be as wide and as bloody as ever.
Whyi There is the same party Of pure
and spotless patriots in the North. the same
number of anxious, suffering ones in the
South. We are afraid the Government
patronage had good deal to do with it.
Disappointed in their expectations Of hold
ing Office under Greeley, the Southern Ku-
Klux have gone back to their old pastime
of shooting nirrers.

AND NOW, because ParsoR Brownlow,
of Tennessee an outspOken Third Term
man, has said to reporter that the de-
ceased, John Bel, of Tennessee, said to
him that the deceased, Andrew Jackson. of
Tennessee, said to him that he desired to
be elected President for Third Term. the

told above, is certainly encouraging, if it

To SHOW how inconsistent and dishonest
the sham-C conservatives Of Virginia are, it
is only necessary to remember that the
Hon. James Barbour, of Culpeper, was the
author of the so-called Third Resolution of
the platform adopted by the last State Con-
vention of that party, in which a friendly
sIlusion to President Grant is made. Now,
that Mr.. Barbour is a candidate for Con-
gress, he is denounced for that act as ear
nestly as he was one year ago spplauded

THE members Of the aztec Club" and
those members Of the Cabinet who were in
the city were entertained at banquet last
evening by the President at the Executive
mansion. The reunion after twenty seven
years Of so many companions-in-arms the

in their profession, around the hospitable
board of one Of them who is now the Chief
Executive was most genial and happy

- SENATOR BRowELow, who isopposed to
the passage of the civil rights bill. fayors
a national convention Of peace and recon-
ciliation. He ascffbes the frequent vio-
lences which have recently occurred in The
South to the agitation and discussion Of
that measure He says NEGRO speakers
sand newspapers, and dishonest, tnscrnpu-
slous adventures in politics have fastened
con the negro mind the conviction that the
"civil rights bill win make blackwhite, and
destroy the last barrier between the races;
''not only investing the negro with every
'social privilege he would enjoy, but oblit1
''erate every distinction made by the God
mature, and by negro instincts and habits
''of life, shaped and crystallized through
counties centuries. We give Mr..
lBrownlow's opinion for what it is worth.
We suppose it Is tr ne that the more ignor.i
ant of the colored people in the South
have been excited on the subject; but it is
remarkable fact that in the ontrAges
which have lately been perpetrated in that
section. the guilty parties are not the negro
agitators or the white adyenturers; bu.
those who would seem to be the educated
class upon the other side. IT, as Mr.
Browniow asserts, the ignorant black mob
is agitated on the subject one would
naturally suppose that the mob would be
the aggressors. That is the universal ex-
perience Of the world everywhere. Mr..
Brownlow's assertion must therefore, be
taken cum grano saIis. The Tennessee
Senator, il seems is inclined to support
General Grant for third term. Jack
,''son," he says would have held third
sterm if his health had not been impaired
''by his residence in the White House, By
'.the wound inflicted in duel, and by his
growing old age. The Hon. John Ben,
s'of Tennessee, used to tell in conversation,
Gong after jackson died, that such were
''the intentions and such the ambition of
'4he hero of the Hermitage, and jackson
twas not the less patriot, or hero OF states
f'man. His third term would have been
'.nothing more than an extension Of the first
two. and popular liberty as perfect affer
''as before the event Such would be the
tissue of Grant's third term, and can only
'.say that if Grant vetoes the civil rights
''bill he can carry each Southern State
ehayjng white majority . aa13
