THE New York World, always solicitous
about Secretary Fish's affairs, insists now
that his self-respect demands that he shall
repudiate all responsibility for or connec-
ton with the dispatch sent to Gen. Sheri-
dan by Secretary Belknap. informing that
officer that his course had been approved
by the entire Cabinet 1t insists that
Gov. Fish could not have been party to
the sending of the dispatch, and that Sec
Rotary Belknap, in using the words call of
us included in it, slandered his colleague.
/" 1t is impossible for New York to believe"
says the World, that Secretary Fish gave
his consent to the use of those words.
"And yet" it continues in sad though
grandiloquent vein, 'if one, or two, or
"three suns more go down upon this ire
"mendous SANDER unrebuked in words as
explicit as those which convey it, by the
eminent citizen whom it threatens with
"social disgrace and with historic infamy,
"what can New York DOR This, it must
be admitted, is a startling conundrum.
We are inclined to give it up, but hope
that we are correct in the belief that New
York will be able to contain herself not
withstanding the efforts of the World to
mislead public opinion regarding the facts
in this important case.

THE New York Tribune officially de-
clares that the trial of Pacific Mail Irwin
for contumacy before Congress in the courts
of this District will amount to nothing.
The Tribune speaks from personal expert
ence. When its correspondents were in
dicted for like offence they conveniently
escaped by plea in bar of jurisdiction.
Perhaps if this paper will now give little
closer study to its pet adherence, the So
called gag law" it will discover an en-
larged Jurisdiction which will conveniently
fit Mr.. Twins case, and that that statute
really has some other virtue than that of
dragging editors to Washington for mag
mary libels." By the way, it makes some
difference, we observe, what sort of mettle
in man the gentlemen in Congress en-
counter. When the robust Tribune CORE
spondents were punished for ''irregulari-
ties in connection with a confidential doc
ument, they were simply confined in re-
gally- furnished committee room and Jared
sumptuously every day Irwin, in shat
tered health, is sent to the vermin-infested
city jail. But Irwin does not publish a
newspaper

THERE ARE a number of people in this
vicinity who remember that when, at the
beginning of the war, the Legislature OF
Maryland became an object of suspicion,
United States troops were sent to Annapolis
by order of Democratic general, George
B. Mcclellan, for the purpose of arresting
the members of that body. He didn't char
acterize them as banditti, but as rebels, and
as such many of them '1anguished in mill
tary dungeons, Fort Lafayette and the
Old Capitol prison. 1t is not difficult to
apply these facts as pertinent answer to
the comments of the Democratic press re-
garding General De Trobriand's recent ap-
pearance in the Louisiana Legislature. In
the Maryland case extreme measures were
resorted to for the purpose of preventing
threatened revolution. In the Louisiana
case milder measures were adopted to &C.
complish the same purpose. In both cases
the sentiment of the law abiding people of
the country was inVoluntarily invoked in
support of the acts of the military authori-
ties

chievous, partisan and unpatriotic, and, so
far as the great press of New York b con-
cerned, it is supremacy selfish, imperious
and diabolicaL The tendency is toward
disintegration and disruption of the Gov
eminent. But our faith is first in the IN
swerving courage, patriotism and fidelity
of General Grant in the line of his duty,
and, second, in the sound judgment and
unerring good sense of the American Peo-
pie. The clamor of the press, and the ma
chinations of the corrupt monopolists who
inspire it, will pass away with the first new
sensation. But the second sober thought
and the final verdict of the masses will be
the voice OF God. That verdict will be
one fully approving, not only the rectitnde
of the Presidents intentions, but also tri-
umphantly vindicating his course.

ALREADY some of our Democratic ex-
changes are beginning to talk of General
Sherman as possible and probable politi.
cal leader. They seem to think that be-
cause Sheridan was ordered to New Or
leans Sherman was not relied upon by the
Washington authorities. We happen to
know differently; but while these gentle
men are discussing Sherman as Conserva-
tive leader and as kind hearted, concilia-
tory man, would it not be well to reprint
some of their editorials about his "bum-
mers," his march to the sea- and the
burning of Columbia?

GEN. DE TROBRIAND made only one
mistake. When he was first sent for he
was requested by Wilt, the usurping
Speaker, to close the doors, and prevent
the Republicans from leaving. When the
incipient revolution in the Legislature was
suppressed, and the White-League men,
bers began to withdraw because it had
been suppressed, he should have again
closed the doors, and told the gentlemen on
both sides to settle their differences on the
spot and organize according to law, refusing
to open the doors except in pursuance of a
regular adjournment. Any secession from

They encouraged one OF their number to take
the presiding officers chair without legal cleo
ton. They seated members who were not duly
declared elected, and finally they invited and
compelled the military interference against them
selves which with better tactics they might have
evoked in their favor. Once more they have put
the Government in the ridiculous attitude OF CIV
ing support to men whose cause is known to be
bad, because their opponents have broken the
laws.
None can deny that the time for polite palayer
has passed. The law must be obeyed In New
Orleans, or 1t will be trampIed under foot with
its representatives. 1t must be remembered BY
our readers that all the dispatches coming from
New Orleans are written by insurgent hands, and
come from opposition sources. Only from such
official papers as the telegram Of General Sheri-
dan can the exact truth be learned.
