TgvN BANDITTI. When a so dier drops
the sword and takes up the pen he is very
ant to make a fool of himself; and that's
what's the matter with Phil. Sheridan. The
sothful man Of Scripture was terrified by
the appari,ion Of a lion in the streets, and
sheridan has lost his wits by a vision of the
banditti. He is not quite certain, however, that
these terrible personageS are banditti, but il
Congress were to pass law declaring them
banditti he would have no doubt whatever
about the true character Of "this banditti."
Nay, it is even "possible that proclama.
ton from the President would suffice TO set
tie the point, and that in this event "no
further action need be taken except that
which would devolve upon me-P. 81.
Sheridan, Lieutenant etc.
II Is not necessary, perhaps, to mention
that the Lieutenant General has been excited
to the pitch Of writing eXecrable English by
the White Leaguers, and that the obnoxious
individuals whom he suspects of being ban.
ditti are ringleaders of the armed White
Leagues" What Sheridan will think of the
merchants of New Orleans, now that they
have branded bin as liar-or, to use their
very courteous words, accused him of
giving "utterauce to statements singu-
larly at variance with the condition OF
things "-we cannot imagine, and will not
attempt to predict. But it will be diSar.
pointnent ii he does not discover stronger
epithet than banditti for people who act in
such reprehensible style. Nor are We as.
sured what he thinks of Kellogg, and Casey,
and Packard, and Pinchback, and all that
unsayory crowd; but by implication they
are not banGitti. Nor does he express any
opinion about Emory, and De Trobri md,
and Merrill, and sundry other army officers
who are diSgracing the uniform they wear
but we may safely infer that he does not
regard them as banditti, although there are
some people quite as loyal as Sheridan who
do not hesitate to brand them as such.-

THE SoUTa.-In q recent communication
to the Richmond Dispatch the writer says
I'VE are not permitted to ignore the fact
that the UDion as now constructed IS COM
posed of minority States by compact and mi.
nority States by conquest and subjugation."
This is the exact and entire truth. Be-
tween the northern and the southern States,
between this strong majority" and this
weak minority" there is great gulf
fixed. The northern State are masters, the
southern States slaves. The one section IS
never wrong, the other never right. The
one hes its rights constantly invaded and in
fringed, its political privileges denied, and its
regulations for internal government con-
temptuously set aside; the other has
obtsined additional rights, has acquired
additional! privileges, and is the power
behind the throne of the Federal Govern
ment. The one is constantly beng inter.
fered with; the other never. The one IS
constantly advancing; the other always re-
ceding. The internal power OF the states
OF the North has grown so great that the
Federal Government dare not raise its finger
against them even in the gentlest reproof.
That of the southern States has become SO
insignificant that their judiciary are driven
from the bench, their executive officers lie.
posed, and their legislative assemblies dis
persed at the point of the bayonet. The
freest republic could not be more free than
are all the States of the one; the sternest
tyranny that ever governed man beneath its
heel could not be more dire than that which
brushes the other.
1t is proposed to Introduce change into
the Constitution. II would he far more
consistent if that instrument were abolished
altogether, in theory Low, as it is already III
fact, as fur as the South is concerned. Tue
South has no part or lot in il. There is 10
Constitution for her. The Constitution,
with all its privileges, rights, and protection.
belongs only to the northern mIorlty."
The suhjugated and conquered southern
=. minority" have no law but the will of the
Executive at Washington and the bayonets
of the Federal Goycrnment.-LynthJurg

The White Scamps Get AL.

The following is an extract from letter
TO q Northwestern Republican newspaper.
1t is from a citizen Of Mississippi, who is
said to be gentleman Of reliable character:
"Thc article which / inclose from your
paper, inasmuch as it lays the blame OF high
taxation upon the colored man, ia positively
unjust. 1t is an unquestionable fact that
three Jourths cf the money ,rrun9 from the
ouertored propertyholders of this State has
gone into the hands Of ,chste men, at least
half Of ,chons are motiue ara to the manner
6OrR.'
Every word true, no doubt. This state.
ment gives the clue to the whole matter Of
the nature and morale of the detes.able Rad
ical party Of the South. The negroes were
banded together Immediately after the war
by the arts Of the hypocritlcal preachers aud
the rogues who came down from the North
to plumber the helpless people of the South.
The negroes have continued-w eXcep.
tions In Louisiana, Arkansas, and one or two
other States--to maintain their solid organi.
cation In spite of the gross receptions that
have been practiced upon them, including
reedmen's banks.
The alien tricksters and robbers made such
profitable use of them that the desire to
share in the spoils thus acquired prompted
many native southern whites to follow the
example Of the strangers. Thus white re.
crui;s rallied to the side of the negroes and
carpet-baggers, and the plumber and the Of.
fees have been divided between the two
classes OF white partisans.
The negro has been the mere simple fool
OF these uuscrupulous persons. He has
opened the door to the plunder--has, like
CALiBAs, showed where the coyetcd things
were and has himself bad only the crumbs
and shayings from the rich feast be has
spread before the robbers the traitors to
iheir country and race.
This Mississippi gentleman In telling that
the white man has gotten the plumber tells
the story OF every other southern State
where The negro is strong enough TO control
eleclions. The white man has gotten the

1T Is an intense aggrav ition5of the distress
Of the South that our fellow.citizens OF the
North have Injected into sthe body polite

copspired against the responsible and SOLID

SAD RESULTS OF RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT. -
One Of The sad results Of excessive religious
excitement was witnessed last evening on the
north side. A young girl, living on East
Indiana street, near Clark, had devoted
herself to religious exercises and reading
until she had become partially demented, and,
ia fervor of which she deemed plous zeal,
she concluded that to the pure in heart all
things were pure, and that therefore clothes
were only a hindrance and entirely super
tluous to the righteous. Thus believing. she
removed every article Of raiment from her
person and ran out on the street. Before
her absence from the house bad been noticed
she had made her way to Clark street, and
passed rapidly along that thoroughiare Tor
two or three blocks before anybody could
muster up courage enough 10 stop her. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that she was the
observed of all whom she met. At length
man with more moral stamina than the rest
stopped her and wanted her to 60 home. She
refused to do this, however, and also declined
to put on shawl offered Der by a lady, saying
to the latter that she would not be dehled by
the touch of garments, and that only the
sinful needed covering; for berself she was
clothed with righteousness, and needed no
other habiliments than those of the Word.
Although this may have been convincing TO
the girl, it was not to policeman who came
UP, and be accordingly took her 10 charge and
returned her TO her home. Chicago Tribune.
