The Democratic papers in the
North are wont to scout at the idea
that the South hopes, through Demo
cratic ascendency, to retrieve a por.
ton of it's losses in the war. But
here comes the Louisville Courier
journal saying "the South had a
recognized constitutional right of
property in man. This might have
been annnlled with respect to the
fighting rebels, but its abrogation as
to infants and women, as to minors
and non-combatants, was such an act
of confscation as the world has not
known within two centuries" the
inference being, of course, that it was
such an act of confiscation as will
not stand the test Of reason and
justice.
Coming as this sentiment does,
from the leading Democratic paper
of the South,i it is significant. 1t may
be fairly taken as an indication that
the Southern people do not accept the
issues of the war as finally settled,
especially that part of the result
which deprived the owner Of slaves
Of his legal tit.e to that class of
property. 1t indicates that the South
is only waiting for Democratic domi-
nance in national affairs to bring in
the proposition that slaves belonging
to southern widows or orphans, and
non-combatants, were not really for
feited by the rebellion, and that the
government is bound to pay for them.
This is the feastto which, by fair inter-
putation of it's wordsy this leading
Southern Democratic journal invites
US; and, now, it will be well for
honest, careful men to stop and con-
slider whether we can afford to put
the Democratic party in power, con-
sidering that its organization Is al
ready in the hands Of ex-rcbels.

The Ottumwa Courier, comment.
ing upon the recent death of Hon. c.
H. Conklin, of Vinton, says:
Brilliant, genial and eloquent, and in
the prime of his life, and in the full pos.
session of his uncommonly fine faculties.
Charley Conklin's light and life have been
offered up to the Unsuitable and inconquer.
able habit which has robbed the world of
SO many of its its brightest ornaments.
How many such brilliant victims
must fall before the effort to outlaw
the cursed cause of it all shall not be
characterized by even would-be NOR
al public sentiment as "fanatio ISM"

On Mondly w. F. Storey, the no
torious editor Of the G iicago Times,
was, by Judge Williams, of the Grim
inal court, committed to Jail for ten
days for contempt of court, the con-
tempt consisting in characteristically
scurrillous personal attacks, through
the Times, upon the members Of the
Grand Jury, which had indicted
Storey for publishing obscene matter.
Storey's lawyer appealed to another
Judge at Waukegan for super
cedeas, which was granted, and Sto-
rey was set at liberty after an impris-
onment of about ten hours. The
press of Chicago, while they have no
sympathy for Storey, generally CON
denim the action of Judge Williams
as hasty, and an unwarranted assault
upon the freedom Of of the press.

WORSE, AND MORE OF IT

Fraud, fraud it is nothing but fraud
from the beginning of the chapter to the
end of it, 1t will soon include all the
list of customable goods and all the arti-
Giles upon which the internal revenue is
levied. The recent developments in the
several customs and revenue depart
ments of the Government, leads one to
inquire if it is not possible to put men
in office who will not steal and will do
their duty honestly. At present it does
look as if such desirable condition of
affairs was utterly to be despaired of.
The root of the evil is that men are
placed in Office who have not n single
qualification for the position into which
they are hoisted. They are neither hon
est or capable. The same censure will
apply to great Offices as well as small
ones. For instance, could more unfit,
incapable persons be found in whose
hands to place the charge of the Treasury
than those fellows Boutwell, and Rich
ardson. They were not fit to manage =
country store of any extent and
yet they were placed at the
head of the financial department
of the country, to be made tool and
laughing stock by every gold gambler il
the country. The same utter unfi'nes'
pervades the great departments from tot
to bottom; in fact, so glaring, so patent
so gross becomes the inability and dis
honesty of these fellows, that they tal
by their own weight, as in the case o
the whisky and the silk and lace frauds
The long and the short of the matter il
that the whole of the public department
need winnowing from top to bottom
The rascals must be elected and tn
honest vindicated, or else being in tn
public service will ere very long be q
significant as taking honorary degrees i
the fraternity of the swell mob.

GET THEE GONE

Yes, stand not upon the order of your
going, but 60, go Mr.. Carpet-bagger,
your race is almost run. Even now, you |
superhuous are tagging on stage that
blest had been. il il had never known |
your accursed hoof. The telegraph in
forms us that The Washington Light In
fantry of Charleston, S. c., will join with
the New England society Of New York
and some of the militia of the latter city
in an excursion to Boston, on the occa-
sion of the celebration OF the centennial
anniversary Of the battle of Bunker Hill.
The remembrances of those famous
events, in which the forefathers Of the
citizens of the present North and South,
stood together shoulder to shoulder, shar-
ing the same dangers and reaping the
same glories, are proving the strength OF
those holy and tender lies that erstwhile
united the men of the glorious thirteen
original commonwealth. Their de
scendants of the present day, have turned
back the pages of the book ofhistory and
there they find inscribed the names OF
their ancestors, who struggling. lighting,
perhaps dying, but still conquering, with
the forefaihers of the very men with
whom ten years Ego their posterlty were
engaged in the deadly ordeal Of battle.
Reading those bright historic pages,
wherein is preserved the deathless fame
of the revolutionary fathers, the men OF
the lately oppressed sections, stop and
ponder. They look at each other with
yearnipg eyes, until at last, nature
triumphing over all artificial re-
straints oompels them to rush into
each others arms. to become the
united citizens of common and
glorious heritage; its pride, its glory III
peace; its security and defense in war,
That time will come We feel, we know
il is close at hand. Its blessed advent
would long since have reached us, If it
had not been for the Vaccinations of
the rascally carpet-bagger and his vii
famous allies, partizan political adven-
turers. But thank God their reign is
about at an end The glamour has been
withdrawn from mems eyes, so that ras'
cality must now stand on its own merits
without any political spectrum to con
vert it into virtue. True, parcel OF
ignorant, besotted wretches like those
who lately framed and issued the address
of the California State Central Commit
tee, aided by partizan misguided press
such rs the Virginia Enterprise and thu
Sacramento Record, may and will try t.
prevent the advent of the era of peace
harmony and prosperity, but they wil
avail but little The grandly beniicen
progress OF kind and unselfsh feeling
between the two sections of the unioi
can no longer be stayed. They ar
drawn TO each other with irresistabl
force, and the puny attempts of thos
who would keep them apart will onl
serve to show the malignant spite of til
malcontents. We, therefore, tell tn
carpet-baggers and their accomplice
that their day is gone by, and ere tn
great Centennial is celebrated those vii
conspirators will be calling upon tn
hills, upon anything, to hide them froi
the popular Indignation,

LONDON. May 1.-THE Times says
there could hardly be more critical sit
uation than existed in Berlin on the ar
rival of tho Emperor of Russia. The
German Government may be able to de-
clare that q hostile movement was never
officially entertained, but few days
since there was serious danger that war
like counsels would prevail. We may
suppose that Prince Gortschakoff court
eously expressed determination to treat
as an enemy the first State disturbing
the peace. In spite of England's atti-
tude of reserve, we believe tho Govern
ment thought it a national duty in the
recent crisis to express its opinion very
decisively in regard to the maintenance
of peace. The communication was
amicably received and most satifac-
tory reply returned by France, who has
expressed her acknowledgement of Eng
lands friendly attitude.

had mentioned his desire to confer with
NJ. Theirs, unofficially, in relation to
European affairs.

Russia has given England friendly and
