From the Columbus Jourpal.l

Ii is a fact that no one will dispute,
that the late rebel element in the South
Is substantially q unit in support Of the
Democratic party Where such men as
Longstreet and Mosby have so far ac-
cepted the situation as to abandon the
Confederate party, and show any sort Of
sympathy with the Republican party.
they have Immediately lost caste, and
have been severely criticised as men who
have been "unfaithful to their section" {"
Their former friends drop them and re-
fuse to associate with them. They are
treated as renegades and traitors. Now,
can any man with ordinary good sense
see these things, without feeling a throb
Of dismay at the bare possibility Of the
Democratic party gaining control OF the
National government? Does il mean
anything else-eaH il mean anything else
than the placing Of this Nation under
as complete Southern domination as IL
the surrender at the close OF the war had
been on the other side7 II Is all very
well to sneer. and hoot about bloody
shirt-but we are not TO be driven from
the point by sneers and hooting The
point Is. whether there was any use i'm
tighting2 What good was il, TO spend
all that blood and treasure, to billow the
land with the graves of our bravest, to
NIL our homes with mourners for the
deadf Is it better to have these oppo-
nents come in and rule over US, than TO
nave them stay out and defy the Nation2
what have we gained, by all the wars
desolation, if the Confederate forces are
about to assume control Of the very gov.
eminent they fought 10 subyert, and we
fought to maintain2 Ii is folly and mad
ness to look upon the insidious advances
of the Southern leaders with supine in
difference. 1t is stupid to allow our fears
to be lulled by pretty talk about the EZRA
Of returning good feeling" We all long
for an era OF good feeling We would be
glad to believe that il is safe now to trust
our late Confederate foes-now, as we
hope, good friends-with the absolute
control of National affairs. through the
friendly instrumentality of the Demo
cratic party. But how can we believe
that these men, so lately in arms against
the National government have been so
completely born again, renewed, regen.
erated-born into the very manhood Of
loyalty to the flag they hated so bitterly
only yesterday Have they shown such
care for the rights of our citizens in the
South as to warrant US in trusting them
with the control Of the Nation2 It is
time we should wake up to a realization
OF the fatal dangers We are so helplessly
and supinely drifting into. The greater
part OF the American Nation drifted into
the war of the rebellion with the un-
thinking stupidity Of natural born Idiots.
Few saw the danger, or believed there
was any danger. We all sailed along as
smoothly and as swiftly into war as
ship in the rapids above Niagara shoots
into the remorseless nav Of the Cataract.
Cannot the loyal citizens Of the Republic
learn even in the fools school OF expert
ence, how deceitful and dangerous are
the siren songs Of Southern politicians ?

WHAT MR.. ROBERTS SAYS.

WAsH1NGToN, Dec. 3, 1876.
Concerning his reported interview with
Governor Hayes. Mr.. Roberts, who ar

decidedly reticent, spoke as follows:
"On my way from Cincinnati to Wash
ington I stopped at Columbus to see Gov.
HAYES. / was there not accredited for
ANYBODY but for the New Orleans Times.
T had a letter of introduction from Mr..
Halsted, of the Cincinnati Commercial,
and one from J. B. Stevenson. / had a

two or three hours duration, perhaps, at

THE TALK WITH GOVERNOR T1LDEN.


"Have you any objections to saying
what the tenor of your conversation with
Governor Tilden was, so far as relates to
the political situation ?" ",''
;:"I should have no objections if I did
not think that at the present moment we
should all be very guarded in our express,
sions, and especially when We speak
through the press. For my own part my
counsel is to all my friends to thoroughly
retain ! their self-possession. All good
citizens of both parties should wish to see
Justice done, and I believe that if it is
clearly proven to the people that the ma
iority of the electoral votes should be cast
for Mr.. aIilden, the great mass of the
people of the Union will acquiesce in the
true verdict, just the same as ! should
expect them to do if it had gone the other

Odd Chinese Customs.

The Chinese have some odd customs
in connection with death. When a per-
son is dying they hasten to dress him,in
his best clothes that he may meet better
reception in the other world. He must
be removed from the long (brick bed(
lest his spirit should enter therein and
haunt it. When a man is dead he is
supposed to be compelled to cross over
deep abyss, walking upon very slender
thread. This is very dangerous, and ne
is liable to be precipitated into fearful
flames. In Shanghai a member of the
Episcopal Church died. His wife was a
heather. Some of the assistants, in
dressing him, wished to put on pair Of
boots with leather soles. "No," said the
wife, "they are so slick, he would fall off
the bridge"
When the funeral is near at hand, a
tent of mating is erected at the street
door of the house in which lies the dead
body. This tent is furnished with bench
es and a. table or. two, and is for the con-
yenience of the hired musicians. For
two or three days and nights, The music (?)
goes on at intervals, to foreign ears max
ing day wearisone, and night hideous
with the din. To the natives it is real
festival, even more jolly in appearance
than a wedding. Friends and relatives
come dressed in white. Even the little
bows are clothed in this way. They gen
orally look particularly happy on such
occasions. The firing of pop.crackers
adds to the solemnity of the scene! The
day of the funeral is the gayest of all:
The coffin is placed on bier covered
with cloth, which really looks quite hand
some. A number of ragamuf6ns, picked
up anywhere, wearing the shabb;est of
old clothes, and the most comical of
clowns hats, have been hired to carry
the red banners, which add to the mag
nifcence of the occasion. When all is
ready to start to the grave some pieces of
mating are spread out on the street.
The ladies in the family, dressed in white,
some of the younger ones with their faces
painted and looking quite pretty, come
out and throw themselves on the mating,
with their faces to the ground, and weep
most bitterly. They seem to think it is
delightful. They hardly ever get outside
of their own door, and now to be taking
prominent part in such festivities is
really charming. The young ladies look
as coqucttish as any Fifth avenue belle,
and evidently enjoy the admiration they
excite. When the funeral moves away
the ladies retire, no doubt very sorry that
the fun is over.-Rind Words.
