9 g0I,FED on us OWN PEFARD."

In our edition Of the 18th inst, we quoted
from an article in the Washington Chronicle
the following paragraph, which appeared in
that paper the day after the Ohio election:
"a victory in Ohio to-day, means also a
tendency toward order in the South. The
hand writing viii lie seen on the wall by those
who were Iniattd with the success Of last
year, and again qaiet will reign within the
borders of the Southern States, except IN
few districts These latter Will never be
purified until the strong hand Is laid on them
resolutely, ami with the intention to extermi,
nate, if law is not regarded and maintained.
We commented on il, as fair indication OF
what might be expecg ed from Radical success
es. and the rapid strides that kadlcaiism, 10
the puise Of Kepublicansm, Is making IN the
direction Of centTalzAt alton and despotI5m.
The Chronicle does not approve our " tran
snrint III its record" Wincing under the
smart. il eudeavors to discaim its utterances,
and rejecting the bitter medicine 1t had pre-
scribei for others, when we returned the poi
soned chalice to its own lips, discourses there
upon il tbs wise:
"The Columbus, Ga, Times treats it (the
above paragraph as though we had reie renee

tuated by the least spirit Of fairness, we had
reference only to the few exceptional districts.

The Times will excuse the Chronicle, pre-
ferring our own construction OF what constr
tutes " decent journalism, rather than accept
that which answers arguments with eplthets,
even though they be clothed in such elegant
expressions as sckening twaddle;" we must
decline to accept the Chronicles definition OF
law, Of States or Of what may or may not be
q district We differ from the Chronicle mate
sally on these points. Judge Durells infa-
1lous midnight order, emanating from the
United States Circuit Court, under the guise
OF law, overthrow State government.
Phil Sheridan's no less infamous dispatch
denomiuated the loyal and brave people OF
Louisiana banditt, and that State, with
others of the South have been far better

ing our comments ..lnapplicable." or our re-
production Of its own language 'dlstor-

sweeter than any praise it could accord US
upon the subject. Oar article WAS just, ap-

The great argument used by the carpet
baggers among the negroes to secure and re-
tain the colored vose has been the constantly
reiterated assertion that if the Democrats
should come into power again slavery would
at once be re-established. This led many
colorsd men who habitually consulted their
old masters for advice in ordinary affairs to
rank themselves in solid array against the
whites whenever il came to voting The me-
groes are learning better now, as was shown
in Mississippi the other day. With equal
disregard OF truth and probability,
the Grant organs are enGeavoriDg to
induce Northern voters to believe
that the overthrow of the present corrupt Ad-
ADMINISTRATION would give the government en-
tirely into the hands of unreconstructed
rebels, who would Immediately proceed to
pass laws pensioning Confederate soldiers,
and providing for the payment to former slave
holders of the money value OF the slaves
freed by the act of emancipation; or, at the
least, that they would insist upon the repudia-
ton of the debt contracted in the prosecution
of the civil war. OF course no person of
common sense in the North pays any attention
TO these absurdities; but an esteemed and ex-
ceedlngly well-iniormed correspondent In Lou
isiana desires US to expose the falsity OF such
charges, and we can not do better than to
quote his own words in regard to them:
"Now if any OF these allegations were
true, would not the most certain and subtle
means for securing such revenge be afforded
by the inhation scheme just scorched in Ohio.
which every sensible man knows would
eventua.e inf 1t does not directly aim at
ultimate re2adiation. The South on the
foregoing hypothesis should have thrown up
its hat wildly for William Allen, whereas, on
the contrary. ii is the fact that this entire Sec
ton is unit now, and will be, l believe, at
the Democratic Convention in 1876, against
imitation. Gen. Gordon is the only Southern
man know of, having any influence, who is
in favor of the Ohio platform. The Charles
ton Ne,os aud Courier you have always fully
understood and rated at its full value"
We commend this extract from our cores
pondent's note to the consideration of all ad-
yocatos OF rag money, and beg them to ponder
il. as it expresses the views OF the vast major
itv Of influential Democrats-the men who
lead in popular opinion-throughout the
South. Those who suppose that the ire
deemable currency project fad favor with any
large proportion of the intelligent classes IN
the Southern States, labor under great mis-
take. They tried the experiment during the
,ate war, and the results can be bought to-day
for about two cents bushel.-N. I. Sun,
