be imbued With the same spirit. The
intense hatred that in anti .bellum times
cropped out 10 the writings OF Southern
journalists is coming to the front again
and destined, unless toned down to
ordinary civilty. to be destructive OF
much good feelings which should be the
natural consequence Of this Centennial
year. From Virginia come q couple of
exchanges whose columns daily reek
with filthy abuse Of everything and
everybody that had the misfortune to
come Into existence north OF Mason and
Dixon's line. Grant is . devil. the reve.

the Republican Congressman are knaves,

men. But to US It looks different. TIE
editorials in these journals read to US

ward Of an insane asylum. The north.
