this a. an excuse for demanding the keep

army. Again, he sand IT Governor Ill
DEN had entered the White House the sight

the rroc-shops OF New York and the re-
volvers OF the South
Mr.. PHILLIPS said that what the South
needs Is "the heavy hand and fearless
prasp..' "This grasp GRANT would faln
have used, but the senscless clamor OF tlmld
congressman and silly Journalists prevented.
HAYES prcclaims his purpose 10 forego and
surrender it. When he took office, Apo
matsox faded out OF sight and the South
was victorious in spite Of it. Hail OF. what
GRANT gained for us at AppomattoS, HAYES
surrendered in Washington on the 9th OF
March, .We need only that This Inau-
curall and his Cabinet 20 forecast his fu-
ture., And then Mr.. PHILLIPS said:
The Cabinet of Lincoln was one made OF
trimmers. Except Stanton and cameron,
every member believed in whiting down
Justice to suit customers.
Grants Cabinet was one Of medtocrltles.
He seems to have Shrunk from counselilnS
with first-rate men.
Hayes's Cabinet reminds one OF story OF
Turner. the English painter. lie had hang
nm at the exhibition painting subdued in
color. AS he studied it on the wall. the
eanva:., seemed TO fade out OF sight in the
presence Of its bright rivals. After gazing
awhile Turner flung drop OF bright red
on tue centre OF his piece. and the picture
giowed into startling effect.
So can see Hayes gathering his Cabinet.
There is sherman, who will leave name
linked to no measure or idea-hls only re-
cord that he entered Congress poor, and
leaves it rich: Evarts reminds one oS the
Protestant riots in bondon, when men
chalked on their closed shutters g No
Popery," to concillate the mob. One timd
citizen, anxious to stand we'll with both
sides. chalks I'D ..No Religion" Amid
this photographic between caste and the
Declaration o, independence. Evarts writes
on his flag, ono Principles" Then comes
Schurz, the Swiss soldier. always to let.
Hayes gazed at the colorless piece, which
was hardly visible. Suddenly he remem-
bers Slave-hound Devens, the low monoto-
ny OF whose life rose only once into notice

put chains on Thomas Sims and dragged

blood-red drop on the canvas. and behold

IscARIoT and said lie ought never to be for
given:
Fancy him entering the Cabinet cham
Der. Sherman, never an abolitionlst, neithe
knows nor cares about his history. Evart
receives him with the suave indifference o
one who is ',everything by turns and nothing
long" Schurz has neither brain nor hear
enough to understand why slaye-huntin
should discredit any one, provided it pay
well. Key, accustomed, like all southern
ers, to use save catchcrs and deSpise then
makes no effort to hide his disgust.
WENDELL PHILLIPS is a favorite lecture
amongst the northern people. He SANDER
the South, and thus pleaSes his auditor:
He also ISLANDERS few northern men Away
to make show Of fairness. But it must b
observed that whilst he grossly misreprt
sents and baScly SANDERS all Of the peopl
OF this section, he picks out only one her
and another there as victims: in the othe
scStlOU. IL uC WHY W tuC
people and speak Of them rs he does of tn
southern, he would soon be driven from th
platform. .. :,>....s,..... .. sas
Suppose we Of the South were to emplo
a. lecturer OF this sort-a long-tongue
scold, who could dwell by the hour upol
the greed, the seltishness, tue hypocrisy
the folly, and the meanness OF our north
ern "brethren." Would anybody in tina
case credit our assertions that we wer
ready to "shake hands over the blood
chasm - OF the war?
PHILLIPS speaks the sentiments of man
thousands OF people in the North-tt
more's the pity. We shall never believe i
the sincerity OF the professions made b
our northern fellow citizens until they ceas
to hear, and to pay, and to applaud sue
marplots as WENDELL PHILLIPS. He is
dog. let him be whipped to his kennel.
