Gloomy Prospect,


Gen. Garfield is distressed at the pros
peot in the next Congress of only twenty
FIVE Union officers having to face sixty
eight gentlemen who served in the
Confederate armies. The Generals term
is ..rebel armies, but that don't hurt, and
will, by and by, be abandoned even by
the shallow pates who have long rolled it
as sweet morsel under the tongue. We
are sorry for these truly "loil" ossifers,
and would have been pleased had Con-
necticut sent back Joe Hawley to rein
force their slender squad, particularly as
he is Of the typo which repudiates Grant,
the third term, the Southern outrage sys-
tenn, &c. But such life One goes up
and another goes down. The wheel
turns, and out leaps new fate. Loyalty
has had good run, but now that it is
detected to be in completely with fraud,
pillase and oppression, it is getting below
par.

General Hawley's last charge on tho
enemy was brave and desperate as Ney's
dash of the Old Guard ut Waterloo, and
just as efectual.' Because the South has
sent sixty-eight Confederate soldiers to
the House, he insisted that one more
should be added in himself to the "piti-
full minority" of twenty-five soldiers Of
the Union already elected. Hawley, like
Ney, was too late with this assault.
Demagogues have played it threadbare
before he seized upon it, and its force
was greatly abated by his failure to tell
that in the last Congress he was in politi-
cal accord, on most questions, with o
score or two of Confederate soldiers who
were pardoned because they added
camp-plundering to treason. Will not
so brave and faithful q soldier as General
Hawley soon appreciate that the whole
people of this country want peacea He
will have leisure moments now to learn
this lesson, and the sooner he acquires
it the sooner will he reach to his just
stature as national leader Of the future
philadelphia Tines.

considerable dramatic effect The por-

another Southern bugaboo. They fear,
or affect to fear, that Mr.. Lamar, of Mis-
sissippi, or Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, OF
some other typical Southerner, will be
nominated as o candidate for the Pre-
sideney or Vice. They really
have no just grounds of objection to
their being grun for distinguished posi-
.tions. The whole matter with them lies
in the false postulate of Speaker Blaine,
at Hartford, the other day, when he
urged the sectional argument that the
North must retain in its hands the con-
troll of affairs, must maintain it's supre-
macy over the South, otherwise the re-
suits Of the. war, the fruits of the civil
strife, will be lost. So partisans can't
bear the idea Of Southern men coming
forward yet. Another reason for the hue
and cry Is that it can be made to harrow
up the average Northern soul, and drive
them into q phalan1 Of opposition $50
it can be turned to profit, and used to
fire the Northern heart. tleast, that is
what is meant, although we are happy to
believe that the people North are not as
iiiiberai as many OF their leading politi-
CLANS. They have not the game amount
eof Office. plunder, gain, selfish, advan-
.tage on the brnin as their political guides.
The scales are falling from their eyes.
AS to the candidacy of Southern states
men, there are, however, good grounds
for not desiring it. We have yet world
of prejudice, ignorance and studied mis-
representation to overcome. We cannot
afford to wake up the slumbering fires of
animosity, to stir the smouldering ashes
OF prejudioe The people of the United
States. North particularly, like the prodi-
gal son, are coming TO- themselves. The
process is necessarily slow. It is a
double conversion which they are to
undergo; And while they are laboring
with the problems, the true solution of
which 30 much concern us, We would
regret to see ON element of discord, any
step on the part of the South which
would disturb the healthy revolution of
opinion which is going on there. Our
public men understand the proper
policy. They know how to keep in the
background. There are greater things
TO be achieved yet awhile than personal
distinctions. One great section of the
country is to be liberalized and enlight-
.ened. The North needs more recon
struction to-day than the South. What
the Southern States need and require, as
members Of tho Union, is what they
cannot'get till the North is infused and
penetrated with juster ideas, and with
-sounder pfinSiplesof government, The
Tribune need not be alarmed by any
supposed "boost" of Mr.. Lamar towards
the Presidential nomination, and Senator
Gordon will not allow his name to be
used as candidate for the vice-Presi-
denoy. AS men they need no higher
position to set off their merits, as pa
triots they not only can afford, but pro,
fer to wait. "

Very Much Mistaken.

The Winnsboro Ne,oS does an injustice
in attributing to US change of opinion
upon the merits of the so-called bonanza
bill. There is nothing to give even color
ing to this imputation, but reference in
our local columns to views which, we
were assured by respectable parties, were
entertained of the measure by respectable
persons in Columbia. While satisfied
that they were mistaken, we were unwill-
ing to shut out from public knowledge
the fact which they asserted and wished
to have expressed. In the matter of the
reconsideration of purpose to serve on
the part of one of the Commissioners, we
merely gave voice to information that
was brought to us. 1t was not our affair,
whether he declined to act or not. In
mentioning, upon the authority of re-
spectacle gentleman, that he would act,
we merely stated fact, and did not favor
the view that the Commissioners should
act, or that the,bill was proper one in
itself under which to act. Upon that

We copy an article from the Baltimore
American, showing the ruilianism and
fraud practised in Baltimore by the demo
cratic party in the late election, through
which alone they now claim the election
of the democratic candidate for Governor
of Maryland. What do the Reformers
and friends of pure and peaceable cleo
tons think of this specimen of democracy,
which exhibits the animal as it really is.
and not as it has been pictured on paper
for some time past? Can party con-
trolled by such ruflianly elements be safe
ly trusted with the government? Not
much.
