REFERRING to the so-cslled Soldiers Re-
union at Caldwell, Ohio, during which
Senator Cockerell,. of Missouri, made an
apology" and asked forgiveness" for his
participation in the rebellion, the Syracuse,
IN. " Journal says:
"Senator CockeIell's little speech was well
received by his auditors; he is undoubtedly
right good fellow socially, and the big hearted
Union boys took him at his word, accepted his
apology, and gave him chief seat at the fes-
tive board"
These fright good fellows socially" are
the very men who are calculated to win
their way with the big-hearted Union
boys" but they forget to explain that they
owe their political prominence entirely to
the fact of their reasonable participation in
the rebellion. Cockerell is fair sample of
this class of Southern Democrats. He
was elected to the Senate, not because he
was right good fellog in which charac-
ter he appears when he comes North,
but as an ex-Confederate soldier. He
believes in the superior authority
and independence of the State of Missouri
over the General Government now as
thoroughly as he did when he wore the
Confederate grey. 1t is for this reason, we
believe, that the Journal hopes such men
may be 'kept in the back seats for awhile
longer so far as the management of the
National Government is concerned"
But we submit that it will do itself and its
readers simple justice by explaining more
fully the danger of giving them chief seats
at the festive boards Of big-hearted Union
men until they have served real season
ofprobatiop."

THE FAMILIsTKRE.

"1f there is to be as much comfort in this
high-sounding word as the projectors of the
plan promise, then a millennium will dawn
upon clerks and other persons of limited
means. Boston is to lead of in the erection of
q Familistere, an edifce which will accommo-
date several hundred families at q cost of rent
equal to one-ffth of that which would be paid
under present circumstances. Washington is
to follow with q similar building for the ac-
commodation of the Department clerks. Last
of all we suppose New York will have one of
these social palaces, If indeed the plan does
not fall to pieces of its own weight before that
time. These dreams Of rent-saving edihces
are pleasant, but thus far they have proved
impracticable, except in the suburbs. Those
who will continue to live within reach Of hotels
and theatres must, we expect, continue to pay
the piper."-N. Y. Conlplereial Advertiser.
The Advertiser is evidently somewhat
mistaken in its understanding of what the
Familistere comprehends, in that it i'm
pliedly limits its scope to ''rentsaving,"
which important item is but the least of its
merits. The Famllistere of Godin at Guise,
France, not only provides its inmates with
palatial shelter, or luxurious homes, at
prices less than the rents demanded for
novels within no great distance from it,
but with schools, scientific laboratories,
studios of art, choicest libraries, the only
perfect nursery in the world, bazaars in
which all domestic wares and staples, as
well as ornaments of dress and articles of
girtu, &C., are to be had at cost prices and

CHAD such a scare as that of the Imaginary
NEGRO cons piracy occurred during the days OF
slavery 1t would undoubtedly have cost the
lives Of many innocent blacks before the slave
holders would have regained their equanimity." T"
-NetO York Graphic.
This is q mistake. The value of the
blacks as slaves protected them from being
murdered before the war. They are with
out this protection now, and are compelled
to rely upon the laws which are enacted, it
is presumed, for the joint protection of
themselves and their former masters. The
manner in which this presumption is real
lied was exemplifed In the late Georgia
scare to which the Graphic refers. Sew
eral blacks were murdered in cold blood,
hundreds of others were arrested on false
charges, imprisoned, tried for their lives,
and now, because they have been acquitted
in obedience to an unparalleled pressure of
public opinion, we are told that their rights
are protected under the laws. Fudge

upon the part of the Spaniards, and capture by
Valmaseda's troops means nothing short Of ex-
ecution. According to the meager advices re-
teived, hardly an insurgent has been captured
during the month of August who was not shot
on the spot. A most cowardly act was perpe-
trated on the 18th ultimo. Luis Rojas was
sent to the front with o flag of truce by his
commander, Luis Morejon, well-known in
surgent leader. Rojas was Immediately taken
prisoner, and, without delay, executed in sight
of his fellow-soldiers. This is only one among
many instances of fendish and malignant
cruelty Of which the Spaniards have recently
bean guilty. There is no quarter for the rebel
In arms. The non-combatant who is suspected
Of sympathy for the insurgents carries his life
in his hand, and many have been shot without
even the mockery Of drum-head courtmar-
tial.
When this terrible state of affairs is consid-
cred, 1t is not q matter of wonder that the
Cuban president should entertain such blood
thirsty views, and the majority of people will
be disposed to applaud the Inauguration Of his
retaliatory policy as proper and justiaable.
The iercer and more relentless the fight the
shorter It will be, and If the black flag would
bring speedy peace 1t would be happy cir
cumstance for Cuba, Spain and the balance Of
the world. ProloDgation Of the strife will be
almost worse than determination. The seven
years war has brought about frightful results.
Misery and suffering abound everywhere. In
Puerto Principe district and others people are
starving. Thousands of people are living on
mango, but the season for that fruit will soon
be over, and then, II relief does notcome from
some unexpected quarter, they must fall vic
Tins to starvation. The financial condition
could not be worse. Neither soldier nor civil
officers have been paid for months, and the
collection Of taxes seems almost impossible.
If Spoturno can do anything that will bring
Qh0nt fharahv anahlfnor he -

certain no one will object to the manner In
which he accomplishes such q desirable end.
The Cuban war has grown to be such dis
grace to humanity that the world is quite will
ing to see it stopped by any means.

THE Atlanta Herald says that 'tMr. ex-
Speaker Blaine will get the Georgia dele
"gation in the National Republican con-
"vention." These prophecies from Demo-
cratic sources regarding the future of the
Republican party are always to be accepted
with suspicion. Mr.. Blaine would no
doubt make an acceptable candidate to q
great many people in the ranks of both
parties, for the reason that he is known to
be a conservative and fair-minded man,
capable of weighing with equal justice the
claims of his adversaries and friends. There
are those, however, who do not believe
that his conservative tendencies will be
honestly reciprocatcd by his. adversaries,
and who are therefore determined not to
run the risk of allowing them an opportu-
nifty to break faith with him under circum-
stances which would result in material in
jury to the party. The Georgia Republi-
cans understand this thoroughly, and they
also understand that no man who agrees
with the Gushers that the result of the re-
cent "scare" in that State is satisfactory
can be trusted to protect them in the future.
Until the murderers of the so-called Gin
surgents, " who are now proven to have
been innocent, are arrested and tried for
their crimes, dark stain will remain upon
the escutcbeon of the State.

you-wbat will he have to talk about on
the stump? Will he continue to proclaim
that the past should be handed over to the
historian? Or, will he attempt to prove the
treachery of the Democratic party in the
light of past events? He has gone so far
in the direction of Gushing Conciliati On
thai he has destroyed all opportunity to
consistently assail his political opponents
He has burned the bridges behind him, in
fact, and stands, if not exactly within the
enemy's camp, very near to it, disarmed by
his own acts, and utterly powerless to re-
turn the numberless assaults that may be

GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE and his asso-
ciates during their recent trip to New
York, made for the purpose of inviting
emigration to Virginia, announced that
''carpet- baggers'' would not be welcome.
In other words, they sought Democratic
immigrants only. The word carpet-bagger
is seldom, if ever, applied in the South to
a man who votes the Democratic ticket,
even il he succeeds in obtaining office by
Such a man, for example, is Ex-Governor
Walker, of that State. He is upheld by Lee
and others of his kidney as valuable ad-
dition to the Commonwealth, although he
lives by holding Office, while Congressman
Platt, of Norfolk, an active, public spirited
citizen, and capitalist who uses his money
freely in the interest of public enterprises,
is known to them as "k-yarpet- -bagger. !"
He is worth dozen such men as Walker
to the community in which he resides.

The more the " Georgia scare " is inves-
tigated the worse it appears for the white
conspirators who instigated it. They al
lowed the rash hot-bloods to proceed to the
extent of murder in the suppression of an
alleged insurrection, and then boastfully
sssert~,I their love for Justice and respect
or the law by prevontfng any further per-
secution of the socalled insurgents. But
no effort has been made to apprehend the
murderers of the blacks, who, it is now
discovered, were innocent of any design to
disturb the peace of the community. Judge
Herschell V. Johnson's stump speech in
his charge to the jury would have sounded
much better if it had contained clause
asking for the punishment of these real
criminals, and only ones, in this affair 1t
is not too late yet; but we venture the
assertion that no effort to arrest them will
be made. The short-sighted Republican
editors of the North who have been in such
haste to approve of Judge Johnson's course
seem to have entirely overlooked this very
important feature of the case.

SAM WALKER is dubbed "Gen." in the
Trtbu"e's Washington dispatches. He has
earned his promotion, no doubt, by the
facility with which he lies about matters
and things in general. The attempt to add
weight to his false statements regarding the
Indian Bureau by giving him this unwar-
rantable title is simply ridiculous; but it is
Characteristic of the conspirators. The

rumseller, will be gazetted Admiral He

brought forward by VIM. Welsh, the chief
conspirator, and it has been proved that he

"people of their will expressed ct the

majority of the people Of the State e1-
pressed desire at the polls that the Con-
vention shall proceed to amend the Consd-
tuition. The World must know that the
popular Republican majority in the late
election was in the neighborhood Of flfseen
thousand, and that consequently the people
expressed exactly the opposite desire at the
polls. If the Convention does not ad-

WHIrK-LEAeUERs WAR IN MISSISSIPPI

THE Associated Press reports from Mis-
sissippi show that the election campaign in
that State has provoked the usual bloody
conflict between the white and colored
voters, and we are informed that the latter
were thesggressors. OF course this informa-
ton is from prejudiced and unreliable
source. In due time the truth will be made
public, when it will be discovered that the
White Leaguers, having no fear of punish
ment for such crimes, because the last Con-
grefs failed to empower the Government
to aid the courts in the Southern States to
execute the laws, have heen guilty OF their
customary resort to violence for the pur-
pose of keeping their colored felloW-cihzens
away from the polls.
Later advices from most reliable source
show that the indiscriminate murder OF
colored citizens has been as cruel and un-
provoked as the butcheries at Coushatta,
Colfax, New Orleans and Vicksburg This
has been progressing since last Saturday.
and it seems that the civil authorities are
utterly powerless to put stop to it.
Our special dispatches, and those to the
Chicago Inter Ocean, plainly prove that
the report of the origin of the affair by the
Associated Press is thoroughly unreliable
1t seems probable, however, that the
blacks were in attendance upon political
meeting, and that number of white row.

blacks for the purpose of encouraging the
growth of loyalty in that section.
