THE LAST OF THAT HOWL,

hpulab AAo ll1ost ElA1 AA1s5 sltltHCte IL 4EIeAt
journalism, is tho 1nnnnor in which the Bour-
bon newspapers are eating their own words,
particularly tho Now York papers. Such n
getting down from high horses, such feats in
crawhshing, such ground and lofty tumbling,
such sudden diminuendos Of bowling, such
grave aud placid doncanor after their recent
clAlnorouE nonsense md insnno hullabaioo,
and all within little week, have not been
Witnessed before for long time. Only ono
week ago they concentrated their vocal abil-
ity aud scurrilouB powers in one pro-
longod yell against tho President and the
Republican party, until they grow red
in tho face, and scared quiet pooplo
into the notion that the President was about
to don the Cmsarran crown and let lis 1ieu-
tounnts loose upon tho South to lay waste,
slaughter, and burn. Ono Of tho loudest Of
these howlers was that rock-buttresscd
Bourbon, the New York lNorld, which Is now
eating humblc-pie with cheerful alacrity and
striving to convince poor old 1lr. CoopIn md
older Mr.. BRYANT that it did not howl at al,
and that some one else must have dragged
them out to the indignation meeting,
The latest discovery Of the 1EurI is the
fact that tho President has the right under
tho laws to make use OF the military power,
which compels 1t to make tho following atl.

The World has another admission to make,
which 1t does very pathetically but very
thoroughly, evidently feeling TINT full con-
fession il good for thosoul. Says tho Woru:

thing, although 1t knocks out oil tue under

most pathetic result Of the Worlds discovo
