A New " Blunder."

A politician 10 Washington is reported as
declaring that a "public man almost always
s,Iuuders when he denies anything" This
nav be new view of policy, but II is not a
wise, nor do we consider it sn honest, one.
A man who permits himself to rest under an
i,nputation which does him injustice, either
thinks It beneath notice or does himself
wrong BY silence And the man who would
take advantage of charge that was untrue
by FILLING 70 correct it shows bis readiness
to sail under false colors and profit by the
reputation Of entertaining sentiments which
he does not hold. In one case he is unwise,
In the other dishonest.
The remark was made with reference to
the statements in the Herald, of New York,
that there exists proscrip:ive secret society,
OF which several prominent gentlemen were
members. The political strategist who gave
bis views of policy in case such charges
were untrue declared that in almost all
cases IL Is a blunder in public man to deny
anything.
The President and Mr.. BLAINE are charged
with being members. With regard 10 the
President, il there be such society as that
described by the Herald we suppose it is
matter of profound indifference with this
whole country whether he is member OF 1t
or not. It's, however, otherwise as to Dir.
BLAINE. 1t will be 81 matter OF interest to
the nation to learn whether he has joined
such an organization or not. We do not
believe that he has.
1t is for public men to decide this ques'
ton for themselves, but We do not believe
tina, the state of public opinion in this coun-
try has reached that point of stupor or indlf-
ference that makes it better for public man
to deny nothing.

The Centennial appropriation.
of The Richmond Dispatch:

Among The maDy important bills now be-
fore the Legislature there are few, if any, OF
Greater ultimate Importance to the people OF
This Commonwealth than the billlor the Cen
tenpiaI appropriation. And yet The writer
was Informed by delegate few days ago
that the probabilities of securing this appro.
nriatiop were small, owing to the unWhole.
some fear entertained By our Legislators OF
offending their uniformed constituencies.
Will you allow space for few words
concerning" the effects of q failure to pass this
hill on Americans abroad. When our cotln-
trymen meet in Europe southerners are, as
a rule, surprised by the cordially OF the
welcome extended them by western travel
ers. and the majority Of people from DOTH
sections separate with the conviction that
the chief reason why our country is still so
divided as 10 give men like Senator Horton
any material Influence is be"ause our people
are not brought more together.
The Americans now in Europe are coming
TO the Centennial, and they are coming
bopjnc to find and to foster the spirit OF re-
Cancellation. and indeed Of common sense.
Virginia occupies much of their attention as
being in some wise the political exponent OF
southern feeling and southern sense; and
The absence of any official representation on
her part would have very bad elect on
these our couptryDeD. 1t would make them
believe that the time vas still distant when
we could hope for Q political peace, aud that
the old rarcors were still rife 10 our midst.
The expression Of their disappointment
would produce great harm North and South,
ard would result in increased disgust and IN
further loss Of confidence all over the
country, And that we are suffering now
chiefly from lack Of confidence and credit,
poIitical aud commercial, seems almost in
contCStable.
MANY Americans abroad look indeed upon
the Centennial exhibition as in some mea-
sure the test Of our national unity and exist.
epcp: and from failure Of southern repre-.
senation they would be ready to predict an
other prolonged period of suicidal strife.
That such views are extravaganza and un-
founded will not prevent their having con.
siderable effect on the timorous, nor their
furnishing INSCRIPTIONS politicians with the
instruments of further harm. 1t Is unneccs-
sary to dwell on the Importance of ayerting
any such impression.
Should it be asked what does it matter
whether Americans VINO live abroad have
good or bad impressions of the state OF the
country which they no longer inhabit, the
reply is evident that the tendency will be in
creased for our Wealthiest class to live in En-
rope. AMI consequently to take With them
almost all their revenues, if not their pre-
perty ITSELF 1t is not good thing for Russia
that her richest people spend in Paris. in
Vienna, and in Italy, the money drawn from
their estates; nor would similar state OF
things be good for Us.
Space and time are lacking to follow this
SUBJECT into its manifest divisions. If sug.
yes ing will aid 10 securing the passage of
the appropriation the writer will be content.

Bishop HAVEN seems to have taken charge oil
Heaven itself, and shuts the door against any
man who opposes GRANT for the third term.
Hc calls such opposition "blindness." In a
recent letter defending himself for raising
the question of a third term in religious
assewb!age he says:
Had Wilson thrown his mighty Influence
on the side of the President; bad be cor
daily supported The reconstruction met
surcs still needed 10 insure liberty and safety
TO our land and to the late and not yet freed
slave; had he helped pass the force biz
and toe education bill, and the marriage bill,
ard other bills necessary to secure equal
rights to all, be would have been live to-day.
But be put himself against these demands of
God and the hour; and was not, for God
took him."
What presumptuous ass!

over our prjud'ces and short-sightedness.
Let us take some stock ia this matter.
We have good northern men amongst US
honorable men--wbo were our friends IN that
dark hour. don't propose to "shake .
them; but merely to strengthen them and
ourselves by adding the "ndttoe hue Of re.
so.ution."
When the next Republican State Conven.
ton shall! meet hope that different set OF
delegates will manage 1t as compared to what
we have seen, and If 1t Is possible that some
brave aud intelligent colored delegate will
arise 10 that body and nominate for the pre-.
siding officer such person as here indicated,
then we will have leader, and a leader
is the first thing required to make move

South Carolina.

The New York Tribune, commenting upon
the outrage perpatratcd by the South Caro-
lima Legislature in the election OF WHIPPER
and MOSES rs circuit judges. says that "the
81 rarty which is responsible for the present
"condilion Of things must do something for
"its cure" Will il? South Carolina has
asked, through a delegation Of her people,
for protection, aud GRANT, having first III
suited them with discourtesy, added to the
oflpsiycpess Of bis conduct towards them
by taking 10 his bosom the delegation of ne
crocs who cane to deny the correctness OF
the complaint made by the intelligent and
wronged white people. Presenting their
Ie itlon through q delegation which set
forth their sufferings, they asked, as
j. were, Tor fish and the cruel party in
power gave them a stone. And now, when
the ncompetcpcy and recklessness OF the
South Carolina negro Legislature is displayed
hy the election of such wretches as WHlPPER
aud Moses, we have no idea that the sugges-
ton of the Tribune Will find any favor
among the Radicals. Alb, no! The country
must be brough. under the rule of very
different class of people from those who now
control it before the wrongs of South Caro-.
lima can be admitted. or any effort made by
the Federal Government to redress them.
<:The party which is responsible for the ex.
"isting condition of things will never do
"anything for its cure" nor will they do
ANYTHING {" for its alienation" The Tribune
j, correct emiuently so-in saying that
there is an obligation resting upon that party
which requires of it this much. But it will
see that the sordid aud needless party which
d d the wrong will never redress it.

Cen eral Sherman.

The notorious General SHERMAN has been
assiduously bunting for the little end OF the
horn. and be has found it. At" Foreiathers'
diuner" IN New York he out-SHERMANED
SIBERIAN, He could not be content with
Drawing over Plymouth Rock, but must so
out of bis way 10 insult the people OF the
South. /, belongs to ignoble hearts to do
things like that-insu'ting the talien-and
his heart vas ignoble enough for the task.
H. tells us what terrible things he will do
vito the South if they dare "cherish one
thought of hostility and boast Of their old
Conlederacy." He is very BoBADlL, and,
like ancient PISTOL, would readily " eat the
leek" upon occasion.
What could the great SHERMAN mean by
saelling and gobblins in such manner al a
time of profound peace, when the South is
aqiet and law-abidipg, BY railing at its. people
and telling them what he will do with them
il "lhey dare to boast Of their old Coniede'
racy:' I. was mere show OF personal
vanity and turkey.cock yalor where there
was no risk in displaying it. 1t was empty
Wanting and insolence to the defeated with
out proyocation; disgraceful to the honora
bic vocation of the warrior. NO man worthy
O. the Insignia Of the soldier would have
perpetrated so wanton an outrage upon CT
immense body of civilized people.
General SHERMAN, as though be were lord
of the realm, tells the southern people tina,
if they will do certain things they will be
welcomed to equality, &C., as though they
were born son the surface of Plymouth
Rock" This Is the ingenuity of insoleLce
Who that was born anywhere else does moi
think more of his birthplace than of Ply.

regretted that he was not born on "the sur

such person he would assuredly have his
regret changed to gladness upon learning
that General SHERMAN was one OF the chill.
dres Of that hard, granitive, and insensib!e
mother.
There was no need for General SHERMAN
to make tsdspay of himself. He has
gained not it, save perhaps the H.
crease Of hsempt felt for him in the
South. He was present along with Presi.
dent GRANT who bad inflicted a cruel insult
Upon persons near aud dear to him. Yethe
vled with General GRANT in counting thu
favor of the very persons GRANT most de,
lighted in Offering this insult. He won thei,
appreciation, and that Of even GRANT, by hi:
wanton and ridiculous display. SHERaA,
hal been justly regarded as vain, copceited
andjealous man but he had not been regard
ed as entirely uugenerous and bragyart
bis last display robs him of all claim to con
sideratlon as man possessed of any of til,
virtues that belong to noble minds. Like
foolish man, whose heart Is both sil,y an,
wicket, he has wantonIy insulted neon,
great 10 numbers and renowned in yirtne
and heroism. He has spoken of them will,
the arrogance of a tyrant and the yuoarit
