THE Huntsville (Ala.) AdUocdte, Dem
ocratic journal, and, therefore, apt to be
friendly to the individual in question, is
after Kerl Nordhoff with pointed stick.
1t says:
''Mr. Charles Nordhoff, the sensational corre-
spondent of that sensation journal, the New
York Herald, made a greyious mistake in
writing his ez pdrte letters from this State. It
is now asserted that he consulted only politi-
clans in regard to the questions on which he
wrote, and that of itself is enough to condemn
his letters. The politicians OF the South are
not representative class, and what little con-
troll they once had over the people is now rap
idly slipping from their grasp. Politicians in
the South have made no advances in theory or
in practice, while the great masses of the people
are cutting loose from dead issues and defunct
dogmas. Mr.. Nordhof was doubtless acting
under instructions from TIE Intellectual de-
partment of the Herald. He filed his mission,
but misrepresented the true feelings of the peo-
pie of our State"

GEN. JOHN 8. PREsTON's ADDRESS.

ssFor a tine, however, our service went on
under the guidance and priesthood of Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe, Marshall and their
compeers, sustained by the genius and spirit
which brought unpolluted to this continent the
great principle and usages of the English con
stitutionaI liberty. But these people who came
to this continent coeysl with our progenitors,
and in some sort partook Of the strife which
caused the political separation from England, /,
hated the manner OF liberty have attempted
TO describe, because 1t restrained their eoyet-
ousness by the dictates of self-conscience and
liberal provisions of equal law. They were
originally driven from England for viola
tion of her fundamental law, and therefore
could not bring with them motives and senti-
ments in accordance with, but in fact and nstu-
rally, adverse to the principles of English con-
stitutional liberty and of English religious
freedom. They came, not as refugees from
unlawful persecution and tyranny, but ss es-
capped convicts from the just penalties Of tur-
bulent heresy and an ambitious rebellion, which
sought by violence TO enforce their consciences
on England's Law. .'-Gen. John s.. PrestoH's

Democratic Iasultism.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: The great solicitude eVinced by the
Democratic press in the welfare of the colored
voter since-and only since then-the
speeches of Messrs. Douglass and Langston at
Hillsdale, is too transparently newborn, and
smscking.too much of political Jesuitism to
entrap the intelligent and thoughtful portion
of the colored people. 1t is the old, old story
of the spider and the fly. Forewarned is fore
armed, and we, therefore, advise them to be
On their guard, for as certain as they strengthen,
however little, by word or deed, the Demo
cratic fortress of slavery, imitation and State
rights, they as certain may hasten their COM
plete prescription and defranchisement, and
such as do so will undoubtedly not only be
pointed at with the finger of scorn by the pa
triotic and grateful portion of their race, but
their only true friends-friends who have
fought on many a battlefield for their
freedom and manhood-will-and who will
blame them p see that they are sent to
the rear where they can have ample leisure to
mourn over the falsity of Democratic prom
ises and the hollowness of Democratic hearts.

THE POLICY of "those who fought
against us I" in the next House Of Repre-
sentstives is plainly indicated by threat
from the Louisville COuri0r-J0urrsGl that
the salary of General Sherman will reces-
sarily receive some attention at the hands
of the xConfederate members of that
body. The Philadelphia Press pointedly
calls the attention of the voters of Ohio
and Pennsylvania to tlis fact But of
course, it is a mistake. Perhaps the C-J
is little ot-headed once in while and
does not fairly represent the true sentiment
of the galvanized patriots Of the Southern
military ring.

THE Chicago Tribune stupidity asserts
that the Hon. ]. NJ. Edmunds, postmaster
of this city, is the Secretary and not the
Chairman of the National Republican Com
mittee. But it must be remembered that
the Tribune has so lately returned to the
regular Republican fold that its knowledge
of party affairs is somewhat limited. New
ertheless, even the average Chicago editor
should know that Judge Edmunds is simply
the Secretary of the Union Republican

SAYS the Richmond Dtspatch::

eve do think this natural prudishness is
censurabIe Colonel Preston finds, indeed,
the approvers of all he said to be in minority
in the South. He seems to have made mis-
take somewhat like that of Solon Single, who
gave his testimony under the supposition that
the Apple Sass case was under trial; which
case was not up at all; but who is hurt In
spite of his mistake, the Colonel is the better
for that, he has unbosomed himself, and all
sensible people ought in good humor to let the
matter slide"
In other words, the Dispatch believes
that another place, another time, and when
some other lease was under trial." Gen.
Preston's remarks would have been en-
tirely aceeplable.

The Washington NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
says that time was when Democracy meant
something. Well, it means something now,
only it isn't happy because it can't tell you
exactly what itis.-BrooHJa it Argus.
Very true, and the nearer it gets to
telling you exactly what it means the more
unhappy it is. Just now it boasts that
millions of voters are ready to support its
ticket but after the elections the Demo
cratic leaders will be as much in the fog
about those voters as the old woman was
about the pins. "I wonder where they
all go to?" was her query.

THE most affecting political tableau Of
this Period of Gush occurred at Memphis
on the 9TH instant when Forrest the hero
of Fort Pillow, addressed his colored female
auditorsas ''colored ladies. Subsequently,
when he incide tally remarked. by way of
selfjustifcstion, that he bad stood betresn
the bullets of his men and defenseless col
ored Union prisoners. he probably meant
exactly what be said. At any rate, the
record shows that while be was unharmed
the colored soldiers were brutally mur-
dered In cold blood. But these are facts

In New York, in Maryland, and, in
short, everywhere throughout the country
where the Democrats have control of mu-
inequalities or corporations, the working
men have been subjected to an inordinate
reduction of wages, while pampered Off
cials have voted higher salaries to them
selves. For example, the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad has reduced its laborers'
wages to ninety cents and dollar day,
and Mr.. Garrett, the president of the road,
is talked of as Democratic candidate for

enfranchisement of the blacks was mis-

Ths Ownership Of the New York Tribune.

The Ownership OF the New York Tribune.
New York Correspondence OF the Boston HERALD
1t has been understood for some time in
New York that Gould makes no secret of the
fact that he controls and uses the Tribune.
That he does own the controlling interest in
the concern there is really no room for doubt.
1t is explained as follows: "When, in the win
ter of 1873, Mr.. Ortou, of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, ascertained that Colfax,
whom he was about to make editor Of the
paper, was a raseally fraud-which came out
Just then in the Credit Mobilier exposures-he
was glad to sell out the controlling interest to
Reid, who obtained from William Walter
Phelps, his young millionaire friend, the half
million dollars required for the transaction.
Mr.. Phelps was supposed to be immensely rich,
and he believed in Reid and the future of the
Tribune. He went into the operation as a per-
manent investment. But In the summer of
1878 Mr.. Phelps had long and dangerous fit
of sickness. Misfortune never comes single to
young millionaires, any more than to poor
people. When he got back to health and his
business he found that the panic had pros
trated the business OF the country, and that
the huge sums Of money waich he had put into
certain Texas railroads were sunk, and, in
deed, that his fortune was in q fair way to dis
him to recall the money which he had given to
Reid TO purchase back the control of the Tri-
bune. Then Mr.. Reid was compelled to 60
down into Wall street and raise the money to
keep the paper or retire from its management.
But Tribune stock had become q rather doubt
full investment for careful men who wanted to
be sure of regular dividends, and there was but
one man who wanted to take the load of Mr..
Phelps shoulders. That was Jay Gould. To
him the control Of the Tribune was valuable,
and in his operations against Pacific Mail and
on the street generally the paper has rendered
him constant and efficient service. OF course,
it made very little difference to Gould whether
he derived any profits directly from the publi-
cation of the paper. he could even afford to
run It at q loss Of sc, 900 or 800, 900 q year,
while counting up his gains in stock specula-
tiou by the million. Il Is estimated that Jay
Gould has made from $40, ,000, 900 to SIS ,000, 900
by his operations In Union Pacific and other
stocks during the past year.

If the colored girl who presented bouquet

the blood of any of those whom he massacred
at Fort Pillow, her act was at least Illus
trative of the virtues of magnanimity and
forgiveness. As o rather remarkable exem-
