few years ago '.Icr., was II little uu
pIeasintness between the Northern. and
Southern por. ions OF this 1invernIurnt,
and large army of the North was sent
down to settle the difficulty, and IL good
many of them got badly scratched on
both sides; but after staying there three
or four years, they got the matter set
tied SO that all things ran smooth
again, and would continue To DO 30 if
it were not that some of the Southern
nabobs get short OF fresh meat and
have to kill few dozen negroes for
breakfast. Well, after our brave men
came home, the Government voted
them pensions, men, women and chill
dren, down to the third and fourth
generation; and they are having their
reunions all over the country, and
eating roast beef and turkey, and wash

foot in unlimited amounts, and having
good times generally. You will not

that; guess it is all right, but I will
tell you where my trouble comes in.
About forty years ago there was n little

ONE THING AT A TIME.

Elsewhere we reproduce from the New
York Herald most remarkable article
upon the extradition difficulty between the
United States and Great Britain. While
the Herald affects to sustain Mr.. Fish in
the controversy, and comedies that he has
the best of the argument, it exclaims that
the treaty is practically annulled, and
"both Governments must now approach
1.-The subject as if it were a new question. I"
We cannot understand why it is that the
press of New York is SO willing and even
anxious to negotiate new treaties with
power which has just shown an utter dis
regard of treaty of the past Earl Derby
chose to suspect us Of intending to do
what he conceived would be improper for
US to do under the treaty of 1912 although
Great Britain had done the same thing sew
eIal times, and upon this offensive and I'M
worthy suspicion he fatty refused to con-
form TO her treaty stipulations with us I'M
quired by the treaty or contemplated by
it, or demanded under it, through period
of more than thirty years practice, that we
would not be guilty Of the course which he
wroDgfully, unworthiy and Extensively
suspected that we intended to pursue.
Mr.. Fish properly resented this insulting
demand by refusing to comply with it, and
demanding the surrender of fugitives
claimed under the usual practice under the
treaty. Derby then insultingly caused the
release of cur fugitive criminals. We say
insultingly advisedly because by the terms
of the treaty formal notice of dissatisfac-
tIon of its terms was to precede or cause
lis abrogation, but it was never contem-
plated that such notice would be served in
the midst of investigation of case, and
served, too, by the act of infraction of the
terms of the treaty al the end of adjudica-
ton.
Earl Derby does not contend that Wins
low was not exlraditable under the treaty.
There is no question regarding the proofs
OF guilt being sufficient to secure the com
mitment of the prisoner under British law.
Indeed, his Lordship made no objection
whatever to the surrender of the criminal
claimed provided we would give him an
extraordinary guaranty that we would
pursue the same course with regard to the

strate ''Lincoln threatens war because he
"knows his hands are tied. War is not
"the thing we ought to fear. Peace is our
obstruction. War our salvation"
This is the kind of "reform" the De-
mocracy promised before and at the begin
ming of the war, and during the war the
promise was more than fulfilled in the
treatment of Union prisoners at Libby
prison, and particularly SO in the horrors
and fortunes at Andersenville.
A party composed of such material and
possessed of such spirit is prepared to
perform any acts to secure success. There
fore it is not surprising that John Nor
rissey should be selected to manage the
affairs of the Democratic party and nomi-
nate its candidate for the Presidency. 1t
is not surprising that the man selected to
head the 'Ieform" ticket should prove to
be the bosom friend and counselor of Boss
Tweed. 1t is not surprising that the can
didate for the Presidency should be hard
money man, and for the Vice Presidency
q rag money advocate. Nothing is too
absurd, too inconsistent for these bogus
reformers to accept providing votes can
be gained and the control of the General
Government tranferred into their hands.

ATTORNEY GENERAL STONE, of South
Carolina, has investigated the facts in re-
lation to the massacre of negroes in Ham
burg, and in his report to Governor Cham
berlain confirms the story heretofore pub
lished. The coroner is still making his in
quest, and the testimony will shortly be
given 10 the public. But the naked facts
are that two young white men considered
themselves insulted because a company OF
State militia did not discontinue their pa
rade at once on the 4th of July, and give
them the right of way. Although the
company finally yielded to avoid trouble
and let them pass they still demanded re-
dress. What they wanted was to have
the militia apologize for insolence, when
the insOlence and impudence was on the
other side. But even this would not
satisfy their lawyer, General NJ. c. But
arms To these he had no legal right
whatever, while the militia had legal
right to retain them. Gen. Butler called to
his sid armed men from the contiguous
counties Of South Carolina and Georgia.
He levied war against the militia of South
Carolina One OF his volunteers was killed.
He writes that this was the cause of the
massacre. lie does not even know that
This young man, Mcrr;wether, was killed
by the militia, and if he was Gen. Butler
was dc indirect cause OF his death, because
he had invited him there. He had asked
the young men of Augusta to come over
to Hamburg and help him. Accord
ing to his own showing this General
Butler was = disturher and law breaker
The report of Attorney General Stone con-
firms the statements of our correspondent
and the correspondent of the News and
Courier and of Hon. Robert Smalls. We
are bound to believe all these accounts
before that of General Butler, even though
he be vouched for by Messrs. Hartridge,
jones and Cox. General Butler is not a
competent witness. He is an interested
party.

life and liberty to the unprecedented clemency
of the American people, to a "Southern
States" meeting was a breach of manly ETH
quette. We only see in Mr.. Jefferson Davis a
person who did his best to involve our country
in fratricidal war, and for whose escapade
we have had to pay millions of money.
Mr.. Tremlett, the Belsize Park parson, who,
during the civil war, was thick-and-thin
Confederate partisan, was present. Mr.. j.
Gilliat, the gentleman who acted as Confed-
crate banker in London during the civil war,
was present. Mr.. Beresford Hope, the fire.
eating Confederate partisan, was present.
Suppose that a few years ago there had
been a rebellion In Ireland, that in the United
States there had been a great deal of sympa-
thy for the Irish Republic, that an Irish Re-
public loan had been raised in New York, that
rebel ships of war had left the port of New
York and preyed upon the British mercantile
marine, and that the wrong was SO manifest
that a court of arbitration had ordered the
United States to pay three millions sterling to
the British Government for compensation;
then suppose an Irish bishop went to New
York to beg funds for an Irish university, that
a public meeting was held in the reception
rooms of a person who had been an Irish Re-
public sympathizer, that the ex-Irish Republic
President had been invited, that the company
at the meeting included the gentleman who
had been the Irish Republic banker In New
York, a clergyman who had been a conspicu-
Gus sympathizer with the rebellion, and
flaming hot partisan who had lately sent over
to Ireland statue of one of the Irish Repub-
lie soldiers.
The British press would have severely Gen.
sured the proceeding. All that the British
press can now do is to express contempt and
disgust at the eX-Confederate demonstration
got up in the name of religion.

BOGUs REFORMERs,

The Dem ocTatic party is most emphat
ically reform" party. From its organi-
ZatiOn to the present time its watch word
has been "retrenchment and reform" By
consulting the history of this party an
abundance of evidence will be found to
convince every unbiased mind that Demo
cratic reform" is a very unserviceable
material; more bogus than genuine. Under
Jackson's administration the reform cry
was ito the victor belongs the spoils. !"
''Is he true to the Democratic party" was
of more importance In the selection Of off
Gals than, us he honest, capable and de-
servIng?" Van Buren, came in pledged to
carry out ''rctrencbment and reform, yet
incidence and extravaganza prevailed in
every department, and during his brief
term of four years defalcations and frauds
surpassed those Of all previous administra-
tions.
But the extraordinary and determined
efforts of the Southern and North ern De-
mOcracy to perpetuate and extend the in
stitution of slavery during Pierce's and
Buchanan's administrations proves what
human and political depravity has tried to
accomplish under the false and villainOus
CRY OF ''retrenchment and reform" The
attempt Of the Democracy to reform"
Kansas is given in a letter to the New York
Herald, dated April 90, 1855: From live
"to seven thousand men started from Mis-
souri, to attend the election in Kans IS.
"They intend TO vote. They were armed,
land as there were no houses in the Ter
"ritory, they carried tents"
The Kansas Herald, an organ of the
prO-slaYery party and Democratic ere
formers" announced the result of that
election as follows: yesterday Was proud
land glorious day for the friends of South
"ern rights The triumph of the pro-
slavery party is complete and overwhelm-
cling. Come on, Southern men Bring
"your slaves and fill up the Territory
kansas is saved"
THIS is the way the Democratic party
carried ''fctrcnChment and reform" into
Kansas during Mr.. PIerce's administration.

with the Democratic reform" inaugurated
during Buchanan's term, by forcing the

Grant and Bristov.

IRON the new Ork herald
President Grants letter to ex-Secretary
Bristow, releasing him from obligations of con-
fidence in relation to Cabinet consultations,
is a model of correct taste, good temper and
right feeling. He approves the position taken
by Mr.. Bristow before the House committee,
that what occurred in Cabinet or between a
member of the Cabinet and the Executive is
privileged, and that a committee of Congress
has no right to demand an answer. Only the
President himself can rightfully break the
seal of confidence in such cases, and President
Grant acts in the spirit of an officer who feels
strong in conscious innocence in informing
Mr. Bristow that he is at full liberty to tell all
he knows, and extending the same permission
to all other members or ex-members of the
Cabinet who possess any knowledge of what
the President has said or done in relation to
the whisky trials. We are glad of an oppor-
tunty to commend President Grant for having
done right thing in prompt, manly way.

trial of this man Winslow which we have
already pursued toward extradited crimi-
nails. This demand was a gross insult in
the first place, because it disclosed dis
honorable and groundless suspicion of our
intentions that was unworthy of Great
Britain. But worse than this was the at
tempt to compel us to yield those guaran-
ties under the menace that our criminal
would be released If we did not give them.
We hold that this course was dishonorable
and insulting to the last degree. 1t was
conduct utterly unbecoming friendly ma
ton, contrary to the comfy of diplomacy,
which the United States cannot submit to
if they have due regard to their self-re-
spect and the true dignity of their great
Government.
They cannot consistently consent to
negotiate new treaty until apology is
made for the insults offered. Great Britain
must make the amende honorable for falsely
impugning our motives and for releasing
our Grimm ais, whose crimes we had proven
under the treaty. She must surrender
those criminals to US. When she has per
formed these acts she will be in fit con,
dition to ask dlscontinuance of the treaty
of 1912 and to seek to open negotiations
for a new treaty. Until she does these
things it is not meet that we should treat
with her upon any subject She must be
made to understand that we will not be
made convenience of by her. She shall
not comply with her solemn compact with
US when it suits her whims to do so and
refuse to obey those compacts when that
course bests suits the caprice of her Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs. If Mr.. Fish pursues
the course advised by the Herald, we will
have no guaranty that Elrl Derby will not
choose to throw the new treaty over his
shoulder some fine morning when he is
troubled with an indigestion or afflicted
with an extra twinge of the govt All
diplomatic relations with Great Britain
should be suspended until her action in the
Winslow case is apologized for in the most
ample manner. We trust that General
Banks will at once introduce a resolution
in the House authorizing the President to
pursue this course toward this arrogant
and insolent Power. We can live without
her quite as well as she can without US.
Let her know that she cannot insult US
with IMMUNITY.

In the Name Of Religion.

tFrom the London Figaro.
Lord and Lady Shrewsbury had morning
party at their town mansion, Dover street,
Piccsdilly, to meet the bishop of Tennessee,
who is ION visit to England to obtain as
sistance towards fund for establishing an
university for the Southern States of Amer
ica."
The form and substance of that announce
ment are remarkable. Again the "Southern
States" is referred to as an imperiunl in i'm
perio, having an association with this coun-
try. If the Southern States of the Union want
a university they can surely find the needful
money. If not, they might appeal to the
North, the East and the West. But the bishop
of Tennessee comes to England begging in the
name of religion. He wants to set up an An
glican University in the Southern States, and
so he comes to the english Establishment"
for aid. WHAT Now that Oxford and Cam
bridge have become undenominational, set up
sectarian university in America2 That is,
indeed, flimsy pretext. But when we look
at the composition of the meeting we see at
once that it is calculated to revive bitter men,
cries, and in the name OF religion TO SOW the
seed of international discord.
The Earl of Shrewsbury was, we think, q
prominent Confederate partisan. Mr.. Jetfer-
son Davis was invited, but could not attend,
and we tell Lord Shrewsbury that to invite
the ex-Confederate President, who owes his
