A COLONEL Of an Ohio regiment in
the late war, who, since his discharge,
has lived in the south, writes to a
former comrade in arms at Lou isyille as
follows: "But, seriously, to think that
a man like Speaker Blaine should be
compelled to defend the Republican
party against the perjured traitors that
now represent the Democracy, is
enough to make ones cheeks Jingle and
ones hand itch to again grasp steel
and carve victo,yiaoith the sabre. And
if Ben Hill wants the alternative, I,
for one, am in favor OF giving it to him.
They may talk Of his representing the
Southern sentiment: he does represent
it, and We who have been south since
the war we'll know it, I send you a
copy of the Louisville Courier Journal
which tells that tale"

party, was held last week, and they
avow ed determination to have moth
Ing more to do with such names as

der the name Of Democrats only, and
those who come into their ranks and
could not take the name Of democrat

unworthy of their countenauce and
support. These dyed in the wool
democrats, insisted that great many
loose elements had recently creptsinto
their ranks in the form of Liberal
Republicans and Performers" who
are using the party for their personal
benefit. These intruders, they say,
have reduced the former Democratic
majority in Milwaukee from 5000 to
1000, and a grave apprehension was
felt that the democratic party of Mil
waukee would be utterly broken up un-
less something was done to rectify
abuses aud bring the organization un-
der the guidance of those who are real
and old standing democrats. In re-
pudiating any claim to the word IRE
FORM" the Milwaukee democracy for
once have been consistent and true to
their instincts The proceedings Of
this important meeting was a timely
notice to Liberal Republicans and Re.
formers to quit, and not remain with a
crowd from whom no reform nor liber-
al ideas could be expected. The effect
of the order will probably be seen at
the election next fall. R. lA5 s.

ing bombastic harange against the

Of which was effort to justify the
doctrine Of secession ON the ground
that our National Government is mere

that every State virtually has right
to do as it pleases, in spite or defiance

Alright, the party to which Mr.. Tucker

that doctrine by trying to take Virgin

BEN HILL, in his speech in the
House Of Representatives, denied that
atrocities were practiced at Anderson
vile, and asserted that Jefferson Davis
observed the humane rules of modern
warfare. He did it by putting Win
der In command of AndersonvilIe - "a
man about whom the Richmond E1-
ansiner used the following words the
day he took hisadeparture from Rich
mond to assume command of the prison
pen: "Thank God that Richmond lis
a, last rid of old Winder. God have
mercy upon those to whom he has been
sent!" gaagar oa Fa6
On the I'D day of December, 1862,
Jefferson Davis, the man for whom
amnesty is now being asked, that he
may again take seat in the United
States Senate, issued proclamation,
characteristic of the Andersonville
murderer, and in perfect keeping with
The way in which the Southern Con-
federacy was managed during the war.
Below we give paragraph: .''Frst-
That all commissioned officers in the
command of said BENJAMIN f. Butler
be declared not entitled to be consider
ed as soldiers engaged in honorable
warfare; but as robbers aud criminals,
deserving death; and that they. and
each of them, be, whenever captured,
reserved for execution" laH
= THE following letter, written in
March, 1868, b. Robert OuId, who
had charge of the exchange Of prison
ers for the Confederates. and addressed
to Gen. Window the brute in com.
mand at Andersonville, is proof posi-
tive that the Confederates deliberately
starved and ill.treated our soldiers, ia
order to make their exchange valueless
to US. Mr.. Ben Hill is also shown up
first class liar, by his own friends, in
regard to what he asserted about the
bad treatment the rebel prisoners re-
ceived while in our hands. Mr.. Ould,
in speaking of his arrangements for ex-
change of prisoners. fendishly says:
