WHAT BECOMES OF THRM ?--What be>
comes of the sora or the seventeen-year
locusts are questions which are surpassed
in practical interest by the question of
what becomes of the et-baggers.
They seem TO be political tramps, here
to-day and gone tomorrow, They leave
the country they came from without a
sensation OF loss being felt by any one,
and they leave the country they'go to
for that country's good. What becomes
OF them few people know and fewer st Ill
care. In the consoling fact that they are
gone, no o'e has any solcitude to be ins
formed when they are gone to, unless it
be to make sure that they will not come
back. If they knew anything of real
industry in any of the practical channels
Of life they would not be carpet-baggers
Unfit for anything but public dependence
or begging, their departure is looked
upon by States asthe depal ture of stui dy
mendicants from premises unprotected
ibypolice is looked upon by honest house
holders. These overthrown bummers,
however, are looking about to ettablish
themselves in the organism of society. 1t
matters little where they 60 so they cul-
tivate their professional and political
capabilities by legitimate processes and
In latitudes outside the sunny South.
We copy the above from the Baltimore
,Snn, and we wish to call the attention of
our Republican neighbors, the Commer-
cial and the Republican, to what is said
of the carpet-baggers, especially Cham
berlain, whom these papers lauded to the
skies for his bravery, his learning and his
patriotism. But it seems that all these
virtues, if they are possessed by the carpet.
bagger, are dormant unless he is allowed
to fill some Office IN State to which he
is stranger and whose people do not
want him to rule over them. Delaware
is happy in being, such fellows;
she would much prefer the locusts.
