New War OF Roses,

1t strikes Us that the Cleveland
Herald, replying TO our remarks as
TO Southern sentiment toward
Northern people, cuts it rather
small in the following extract which
We make from an elaborate essa y
Oo the general subject:
"KeDtucky aside, We declare il a
fact, that can be realized BIZ any
Northern man who doubts the as
sertion, that as a rule, Northern
women are socially ostraclsed at the
South Men can get along quite
well, for Southern men welcome
any Northern business man who
comes among them with his capi-
Ial and his energy. Southern men
will treat him with entire civility,
will extend TO him their 6dence,
will do all that Is requisite in a so.
cial way, and Southern women will
be civil to q Northern man where
such civility does not include civil
ity to a lady also.
The wife and the daughters of
Northern man can not be admitted
to Southern female society. That
is fact, and we know it. We're il
proper we could cite instances, any
quantity of them, igherein the
wives and daughters Of the officers
of the army are habitually cut by
/ Southern ladies' Aud also the
wives and daughters of Northern ci-
villains are served in the same way.
We know of an instance wherein a
lady moving in the best society Of
one of the most refined of our Sou
/ thern cities, who herself wished to
reeiprocate civilities and kindnesses
received from Northern friends, was
forced TO explain 70 the ladies of
Northern family that she dare not
/ introduce them TO her Southern
friends. She made this apology,
thinking her Northern friends might
have noticed the fact that while
she herself was entirely civil and
cordial, yet she never attempted to
introduce her Northern friends So
cially.
Where Northern women are os-
tracised, of course Northen mon are
not comfortable. Why the women
of the South should pursue this
course perhaps the Courier-J ournal
can tell. The fact is as we have
stated it. Northern women are
not socially recognized by South
orn women, and, SO long as that Is
the case, we make no false state
ment in declaring what we have de-
clared relative TO Southern senti-
ment as existing in social life."
