AN OUTRAGE-SO CALLED.

The Parkersburg State Journal de-
nounces as an outrage the fact that Capt.
Il. ID. RAMsDELL, one of the truest men
and stsunehest Republicans in the State
mas been removed from the position Of
postal agent for this State, and I. z.
SHALLcRoss, of Wheeling, Democrat
Of the deepest dye, occupies his place
OF course it is an outrage on the rights
of radical office holders to have their
frauds detected and they themselves con-
victed AS rascals by Democrat. But it
is one Of those outrages that the people
approve. Col. SHALLCRoss has discov-
cred and exposed more rascality IN the
postoffice department in this State since
his appointment about six months ago,
than was done during the entire term Of
office of his predecessor. But perhaps
there is where lies the difficulty. Like
Mr.. HENDERSON, In st. Louis, he has
shown too much zeal, and prevented the
accumulation of too much money in the
hands of pets of the Radical party for
campaign purposes, and he should there
fore be removed.

ACuANGE OF OPINION.

1t makes great difference to some
what side u man is on. One II. IL.
REvELs, a colored man OF Mississippi,
was at one time a radical United States
Senator from that State. Then he was u
wicked politician, but in the eyes of his
party he was saint. Now he has re-
repented of his sins. left politics, become
clergyman aud has written =
letter to the President IN which
among other things, he said
that the colorcd people OF Mississippi,
since reconstruction, had been 'enslaved
in mind By unprincipled adventures,
who, caring nothing for the country,
were willing to stoop to anything no
matter how infamous, to secure power to
themselves aud perpetuate it. With
the increase of intelligence great por-
ton of the colored people have discov-
cred this, and resolved to emancipate
themselves, and accordingly at the cleo
tion, voted with the whites against men
whom they knew to be incompetent and
unworthy"
We see that for this reason, the once
beloved REvELs, who was lauded to the
skies as a saint is now denounced IN the
columns of the household organ, as an
apostate, a traitor to his race, a tricky
political schemer and demagogue in full
sympathy with 'the bloody democracy.
Circumstances alter cases.

We had call from p. DEIHL, Esq, of
Woodsfeld, Ohio, on last Saturday, He
states that his losses by the late failure OF
B. F. Hook & Co., tobacco merchants Of
Baltimore, amount to S34, AGO. Of this
sum he may possibly realize from their
assets twenty cents on the dollar, but
probably not over five or six cents on the
dollar. He has just returned from meet
ing of the firms creditors at Baltimore and
from the past history and developments

.LErNO GUILTY MAN ESCArE."tsc:

a correspondent of the Charleston
Courier comments quite sensibly upon
that celebrated speech OF His Excellency,
the President Let no guilty man es-
cape" and expresses astcnlshment that
what should be regarded as only the re-
gulsr, and matter-of-course policy Of
every Government, is received as some
thing unusual, and worthy of being quot
ed rs IA great utterancc. Now
this IS worthy of notice. When
our President simply expresses
the wish that all guilty officials shall re.
eeiye the punishment due their evil de-
serts, the whole Radical party lmmedi-
ately points to ii as thing for the world
to know. The Presidents supporters and
friends virtually say that "we know
the policy of our administration has been
in the past to shield thievery, to promote
dishonesty, to encourage fraud, and even
to apparently regard triekery and ur-
scrupulousness in the way OF cheating as
the highest requisite for official position.
But now all this is changed. Hence
forth no guilty man is to be permitted to
escape "if it can be avoided" and new
erals to be inaugurated.
Now, besides the significance of SO
really humiliating confession as the
above, there are several other things to
be considered. And they are these:
First, Tha. this expressed determination
to be honest was not arrived at until the
Democratic party had been successful in
one campaign, and has the prom
Use of another success in the coming
Presidential contest Second, That Mr..

was taken up and construed to mean that
