The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1875-01-02

Sheridan has more fame out Of real merit
than any other general Of. the late civil war.
Dispatch Of yesterday.
That the Dispatch should have uttered
such lie as this on the first day Of January
is distressing. The reader may rely upon it
that il was not intentional. How it hap
peued we know not. The intention was to
say:
"Sberidan has more fame out Of less real
merit than any other general Of the late civil
war"
This is the truth, and this is what we de-
signed to say. Certainly General SHER1DAN's
achievements are utterly barren of the slight
est claim to distinction or to the gratitude of
the northern people, unless it be that he
burned valuable property that was not de.
Tended, and when he had no adversary to
excite his fears. If wanton cruelty entities
him to the applause of anybody let him have
it. Generous people can neither admire the
man who receives such honors nor the sim
gularly malignant people who could award
them.
Read the Dispatch: "SHERIDAN has more
fame out of less real merit" than anybody
else. That's ii.

South Carolina.

The New York Times perceives that Gov
ernor CHAMBERLAIN, Of South Carolina, Is,
after all, only Governor CHAMBERLAIN

RACES Of the Legislature, and then approving
them. Only third OF the session OF the
Safe Legislature has passed, and the negro
legislators have voted themselves 100000.
The Governor says this is corrupt measure,
and signs the bill The Times need not be
surprised at any want of virtue and integrl-
ty in such Radical as CHAMBERLAIN. 1t
certainly cannot now be surprised at any
monstrosity perpetrated By a barbarous
Legislature. The poor negroes deserve
pity. They know not what they do. The
northern States committed a crime against
civilization and order when they placed the
negro in some States over the white man.
That crime will never be forgotten nor for
given. 1t is not one against the South
alone; it is crime against the civilized
world, and has hurt the c,use Of civilization
on this continent more than any other event
that has ever happened.

What Will They Do?

The Radical plan is that the Senate shall
endorse the kELLoGG government, and put
PINcBBAck (mulatto) in his seat. II this
plan shall succeed by the adoption of Mog.
roN's resolution, it will do so by the change
of opinion with some leading Republicans
who last winter voted that KELLOGG was
not elected to the office he holds, and that
he ought to be turned out. The following
seventeen gentlemen so voted:
"Messrs. Anthony, Carpenter, Corbett,
CragiE, Ferry of Michigan, Frellnghupsen,
Gilbert, Hamlin, Howe, Logan, O.born,
Ramsey, Sawyer, Sherman, Splague, Stew
art, Wilson,"
Since these gentlemen 50 voted there have
been evidences Of fraud adding materially to
the proof of KELLoGG's usurpation. Wha!
will they do now? We shall see. T.

nosed of majority States byfcompact and mt,
t,ority States by conquest and sup)usat,oh'
We have not before seen 50 terse ana en-.
tirely accurate statement OF the relations OF
the States to one another and the Union.
Its truth Is manifest In the fact that an en-
tirely different treatment 10 meted out to the
southern States from that pursued towards
those of the North. In no single instance
has the local authority OF the northern States
been interrupted or overridden by the Fede-,
raj authority. Those States have had'tbeir
troubles. They have offered pretexts IN, that
would have justified the Federal Govern
ment for interfering and setting aside Inc
State processes just as clearly as that inter.
ference has been justifed in the South. 1et
it has never interfered in the. North. ana
| By force of the acquieseence of the North In
the outrages committed upon the south-oy
force of the unavoidable relation the NORTH
is made to bear in these outrages-the Fede:
raj Government dare not invade the LOCAL
rights of the States OF the North as II mas
done those Of the South.
The North, by acts of their representa-
tives, is made not only to approve the per-
solutions of the South, but absolutely 10
stand In the relation of prosecutor and judge.
That these things will be altered we are
firmly convinced. But our venerable CORE
spondent is perfectly. correct In saying tnat'
nm 10 this time $ the Union is composed OF
majority States by compact ard minority
States by conquest and suhjugatlon."
There Is no equality OF States under. the
Government. Until equality is completely
established by the expulsion and destruc.
ton of the party which holds the power
over the southern States and parcels thelrrev'
enues out for the rewarding Of its scurVy
and leprous parlisans there can be no such
thing as just government and constitutional
right-n this country.
Knowing that the Government canno'
long exist with this ineQuality-a "com-
pacted msjority" cruelty and sordidly OPP
pressing the "subjugated" I" minority -
we e,joy but the keener the glorious result
Of the November elections. They show what
is coming. They tell that the Union Will be
saved by RI esta blisbing the equality of the
States and rescuing the southern States from
oppression and injustice.

( we desire to say that the ways Of play
goers are peculiar. They may not be marked
bs ."tricks thatare vainn but we can truly
cav they are quite capricious. Tragedy,

burlesque opera (opera bouffe), by turns De-
come the object of fashionable. appreciation.
Even the sensational exhibition, physical
and ridiculous, enjoys its title to succession

had their day. --,----.---,-.
To account for. the changes IN popular
taste is beyond our ken. But we acknoWE
edge, that there are periods of remarkable
caprice in the public judgment and taste.
We certainly look, upon the taste that has
aversion to the tragic muse as capriclous.
The public taste that neglects the Shakes
pearian tragedy and finds enjoyment, IN Inc
bullesque stage is strange and unhealtng.
1t is edIyipg and refining to listen to SHAKES.
pEARE recited tolerably well; and it is grand
and delightful to hear him rendered by
master of the players art. ID -<'
For several days past we have had upon
the Richmond stage a gentleman OF very
great merit In the histrionic art-Mr. LAW
RENEE BARRETT. He has played some OF
SHAKEsPEARE's leading tragedies, and DOM
in Money and Richeleu, in a manner that
has won the! earnest appreciation of some OF
the best critics of the stage in this city. we
say with very. decided emphasis that MIR.
BARRETT is one OF the best tragcdians that
we have known in our day. 1t is difficult,
and scarcely ever fair, to draw COM
Darisous.. We, hesitate to put him in
COMPARISON with the distinguished men
we have known. We do not know
how to do so. He has some fine traits OF
many and lacks others that might be named.
Suffice it to say that be is decidedly the best
tragedian of this day whom we have seen, II
we except EDWIN BooTH, with whom we do
not intend comparison. We do not mean
to say that be is inferior to BooTH; but we
mean not to award the need of superiority
to either, but to leave them both, as they are,
in the front rank in their profession.
Without drawing comparisons, we say
empbaticaliy that Mr.. BARRETT is superior
reader, fine declaimer, has an excellent
voice, and governs it with superb taste and
skill. He is, withal, genuine person--no
pretender, no vain coxcomb, but real, in
genuous, and manly gentleman--a man who
r, fleets honor upon his art. He is one OF the
first of his profession.
Now, we wish to say that the caprice of
public taste is just now detrimental to the
pure drama to which Dir. BARRETT is de-
voice. He has felt it, no doubt; and we con-
TESS that we have. We have regretted it for
the good of the public. Let us hope that
the next phase of public taste will be an
Improvement upon the present.

The Gold in the Black Hills.

What CUSTER was sent with a force to the
Black Hills for has never been exactly
known. Gold was found therein what
quantities has been left in doubt on account
of conflicting statements with regard to it.
1t was considered that the mere march of
CUSTER with an armed force TO the Black
Hills was In effect breach Of the terms BY
which the country there had been turned
over TO the Indians. But CUSTER went with
out impeachment and looked into the land,
and saw beautiful places and forests and
flowers, and his men dug into the ground
and saw gold, and some of them staked of
claims which they intimated they meant to
seize upon when the Indians were made to
move on. "Just So"
Well, CUSTER came away. But the ac-
counts he gave "tired the hearts" OF gold
hunters, and expeditions were fitted out that
were forbidden to 20 to the Black Hills.
Some accounts were given of collisions grow
ing out of this ION to" the Black Hills.
And now, after some time, we hear that such
expeditions are still projected, and We even
hear that one has been successful.
Agent HOWARD, Of the Whitestone (Da-
xota) agency, reported that some of
SPOTTED TAIL's band on the 5,h instant met
a party of twenty miners, with an outfit OF
ten horses, thirty-SiX oxen, and six wagons,
on Elk creek, at the east base Of the Black
Hills. They were bound for the gold-dig-
gins on "the reservation" The meeting was
friendly, and resulted in good supply of
rations for the followers of SPOTTED TAIL.
Exactly.
We knew as soon as CUSTER found gold
there that people would "go for it," How
could it be helped: The Government said
kill them; but the killing depends on mum.
bers. 1t might do with five or ten, or such
a matter, but it must stop as the numbers
Increase; and if gold should crop out toler-
ably we'll great multitude will soon be In
the Black Hills, and instead of Government
ordering them away the scurvy Radical po-
Iiticans will Immediately seek to make
State Of them and get their vote for Radical
President. There need be no trouble about
SO happy measure Of public policy. If no
other reason answered, 1t is easy for General
GRANT to say that it is very desirable to de.
velop the gold mines in order to help out bis
policy Of resumption at an early day!
1t Is the old story. The Indian has some
thing We want, and we must have it. So

The Radicals are troubled with thick
coming fancies. We published yesterday an
article from the Washington Republican
which showed this. They are afraid that
they may not be able to eject the next fresi-
dent Of the Uaited States. II he should not
be q Radical the leeches will have TO dfop
of and perish for the loss of their accus'
toned food. This would never do.
The Radicals fear that the election might
he thrown into the House Of Representa-
tfyes, In which case the Opposition would
have all their own way. And then they
fear that If Congress has any authority 10
examine and canvass votes for president
that States where the Radical returning
boards have been thimble.rigging may
be rejected, and the result in that way
changed. Therefore the stir In the Radical
wigwam. That engineer of all dirty work
and all partisan mslevolence- MORTON, Of
Indiana-has undertaken the movement TO
amend the Constitution with a view to ex-
Guide the House of Representatives from all
control in the matter. The way proposed
is to elect the President by congressional
dis.ricts-the receiver Of the majority Of
votes or districts being elected.
There was time when it was important
for the purpose Of the maintenance OF the
federatiye feature of the Government that
the vote for President should be cast by
States but so thorough has been the inva-
sion and destruction OF States rights that we
can hardly make strong defence on this
ground against the election of President by
the general vote of the people of the United
States. t-....-..
Whether Mr.. MORTON can get bis measure
through Congress or DOT remains to be seen.
Every appliance will be used to force it
through. We see this especially In the arti.
Gle from the Washington Republican before
alluded to. Should these efforts succeed
with Congress, and the proposed amend
ment be referred to the States, will they
adopt it?
II the proposed amendment were not got.
ten up under the circumstances and Radical
apprehensions that have caused its introduce
ton we might think it all right; but depend
on it there is rascality at the bottom of it.
II is bit of party strategy. 1t covers other
pans and purposes which are meant to
break the blow SO justly given the malignant
and sordid Radical party, and, if possible,
to prolopg its existence its plundering OF
the Government Treasury, and its general
disturbance of the peace and prosperity OF
this Union.
We certainly consider that it is safest to
reject all the measures Of the sordid and
malicious Radical party. We do trust that
no amendment they may offer to the Federal
CONSTITUTIONS paper for which they have
shown no earthly respectfully be adopted.
Let any they may propose be rejected with
contempt, and it will be all the better for the
Union.

them promises to be yoluminous, including
great deal of very hard swearing. They
will likely return convinced that people will
swear to verything. We shall see what
they will do. Their appointment and their
