Kentucky goose bone may do ve,y well
for local purposes, but the ground-hog
is universal. He came out ike IAN apart
ton from the tombs Of the ages on the
second of the month, he shifted the
breeze then prevailing and got back Ike
a fash leaving every hair the sport Of
the rude and roaring blasts. But he did
not retire unavenged. He called the
feathery fakes, and they hard faxed US,
he invoked the biting blasts, and they
are biting US. Just what he foretold has
come, ami we believe will continue to
come. There is little that we can pin
our faith to in this world; Sc much falls. =
hood and folly are to be seen on every
side. But George Washington and the
ground hog have revived eur faith.
George was truthful, and we can lean
on his memory, and the ground-hog is
perfectly reliable. If this government

Traps to Catch Rebels.

A few years ago the Radicals had the
Army and the Navy at their disposal and
a hundred or more presses in Washing
ton all going printing greenbacks to buy
up voters, and make soldiers and voters
Of negroes. still they were not satisfied
with the laws, and went to work to alter
and amend them to suit their selfish and
wicked purposes. They took all the
Offices increased all the salaries. But
still that would not do. They attempted
to make sure of keeping the offices for
all time. And even the laws ruling the
United States Courts were altered. They
were traps to catch rebels" copper
heads and Southern sympathizers." !"
This was all very well so long as it last
ed. But the Radicals like all other
thieves forgot that their traps" might
fall into other hands. OF this character
also were their ''fiyed-up" election laws
in the States. Where gerimandering
would not do they resorted te registry
laws. And now we find the same men
and the same party that made the laws
venting walls Of wrath at the Democrats
and Conservatives, merely because they
enforce the laws that they found in exist
snce when the people refused to allow
the Radicals to remain in Office longer.
About the first trap of this kind in
which the Radicals were caught was in
Maryland. Their nicely "fiIed-up" reg
istry law, was captured some years since
has been turned upon them with sad effect
ever since. And now comes howl from
South Carolina-poor negro-ridden South
Carolina. There it Is said Gov. Cham.
berlain, after abandoning Radicalism,
insists upon his right to ap; oint all the
election officers which in that and some
other States, as elections have been con-
Quoted, is equivalent to victory. But
last Of all comes a wall from Babcock.
Poor Babcock He is to be tried by
Rebel juries in Missouri, for the same
offences for which his friends Joyce and
Macdonald, at st. Louis, and some fifteen
others of the Ring in Indiana have been
sent to the penitentiary for. Their
crimes will find them out. How long
will it be before wall will be sent UP
from some Radical in Delaware-that
the Rebels hold the United States
Courts and are Lying loyal white men
with ignorant negroes on the jury? Not
long we opine. The mills of the god:
grind slowly.
The daily gazette., 1876-02-08

REPUBLICAN journals and orators in
Congress frequently allude to what they
call the glorious record of the party.
What record do they mean? The record
of the robbery and plumber of the South
ern States; of the infamous Credit-Mo-
bilier corruption; Of the STRAW bail post
office mail lettings; of the fall of Col
fax, and the other christian statesmen
OF Joyce, Macdonald and Mckee; of
Tom Murphy in a word, of the long
story of fraud, crime, swindling and de-
falcation in every branch Of the govern
ment during the last ten years? This is
the glorious record most familiar to the
public just now.-Baltin,ore Gazette.

THE BATTLE OF GKrTYsBuRG.-The
New Orleans Republican publishes a
letter written by Gen. James Long
street, in July, 1858, and addressed to
his uncle, DR.. A. b. Longstreet, in
which peaking of the battle of Gettys-
burg, he says: The battle was not
made as I would have had it. Ny idea
was to throw ourselves between the
enemy and Washington, select strong
position, and force the enemy to at
tack us. So far as is given to man the
ability to judge, we may say with
confidence that we should have de-
stroyed the federal army, marched in
to Washington, and dictated our
terms. or at least held Washington, and
marched over as much of Pennsylvania
as we cared to, had we drawn the ene-
my into attack upon our carefully
chosen position in his rear.
General Lee, in letter written to
Gen. Longstreet in January, 1864, says;
Had taken your advice (at Gettys-
burg instead of pursuing the course l
did how different all might have been )"
Captain T. ]. Goree, of Houston, Taxes
in letter to General Lengstreet, says;
"Another important circumstance,
which distinctly remember, was in
the winter of 1854; when you sent me
from East Tennessee to Orange Court
House with some dispatches to Gen
Lee. Upon my arrival there Gen Lee
asked me into his tent, where he was
alone, with two or three Northern
papers on his table. He remarked
that he had ju,t been reading the
Northern official reports of the battle
Of Gettysburg; that he had become
satisfied, from reading those reports,
that If he had permitted you to carry
out your plans on the third day, in
stead of making the attack on Gene
terry Hill, we would have been success
full"
