ward. For it does not stand to reapon
that any white Republican will join shch
an alliance, and negroes are Of course
prohibited. Besides, it will eventually
transpire that there are not Offices enough
to go round among the applicants belong
ing to the league, and scarcely enough
for the officers who have adopted this
plan to come in to something handsome
at the expense of others.
We do not recommend quarantine
against this white league epidemic. 1t
does not promise much for its friends nor
menace the Republicans so long as Its op-
erations are restricted to drumming up
voters. An American citizen doubtless
possesses the right to pledge his vote tor
months in advance, especially if there Is
no corrupt consideration or promise OF
one. He may file this pledge in league
or pass his word on the street, but having
made up his mind and passed his WORD
there is no necessity that he should take
pains to make it known to those who DO
not care particularly how he goes on the
day of election. As the white league Is
altogether device of the enemy, the only
concern the Republicans have IN 1t one
way or the other is to avoid it and look
to their own organization. 1t is apparent
to US that the white people can never be
entirely united upon any such principle,
and we look for one of the consequences
to be to drive great many good Demo-
Gratis into the Republican ranks, where
man will be free, up to the very hour OF
voting, to cast his suffrage for such men
and measures as please him best.

THE WEIGHT OP TESTIMONY,

The Picayune the other day published
the widest sensation Of the season, based
upon information which, so far as the
public knows, is anonymous, if not myth
ical. The Times, IN common with this
entire community declined to believe in
the statements, and dispatched a reporter
for such evidence as it thought proper
and necessary to refute the SANDER upon
the colored people and allay the excite
ment of those who might be temporarily
alarmed. Among others, Generals Barber,
Longstreet, Badger and Street were ques-
toned, who each and all gave positive as
surances that the wild and improbable
story of the Pica,nuse could not possibly be
true.
In reply to this sensible manner of
finding out things, the Picaynns, without
citing single witness or circumstance in
its support, attempts to discredit the hon.
orable and well known gentlemen called
to the stand by the Times. Placing its
own rather shaky reputation in the scale
against these officers of high character,
it objects that they have every motive for
denying the existence of a conspiracy
which they formed themselves, and that
its own anonymous and irresponsible
informant is entitled to be believed,
though he only appears as Rumor and in
mask, in preference to them. Urfortu-
nately for the position of the Picay,tne,
either Of the gentlemen named is entitled
here to more credit than it is, and so the
public " Ill judge, for neither of them has
ever been known to delude the public with
silly tales which four year old child
would reject The reputation of the Pic
ayrne for accuracy is far behind that of
either Generals Barber, Longstreet, Bad
ger or Street. For these gentlemen do not
make their living by retailing gossip, but
are drilled in the use of dry official facts.
Their habits as officers and their charac-
ter as gentlemen place them above the
suspicion of being guilty of such high
crime as knowing of a projected massacre,
and concealing this knowledge from the
public. And in the present case, where
the Picayuae is on trial before the people
on point of veracity, it seems to US that
the testimony of any man, not convict
or lunatic, would be accepted against it.

nrVUT,GTNa FALSE NEWS.

This oEense at the common law was
enacted for the protection of an ignorant
and credulous people. 1t is very prop
erly left by the glowing constitution Of
the republic to be executed with that
freedom Of speech and of the press which
is guaranteed to every citizen. There is
the reserved tight of action for libel in
the individual case, and to animadvert
upon false and mischievous rumors when
emanating from journals Of public circu-
lation.

The Chicago Tribune says that Presbyte-
rians, in combating woman as preacher,
are warning against the inevitable. They
are making the same medieval fight that
Patton has just been making in the inter
est of infant damnation aud the pro-
crastinated punishment of majority OF the
human race. If they do not wish to share
the fate of Patton, they will abandon their
present attitude. Let them open wide the
mint doors and bid woman enter. She is
