BULL-DOzFD LoGIC.-It WAS men.
toned in 4 late Washington dispatch
that the Presiden', in conyer-a.ion
with Southern gentlemen, has alluded
in terms of compliment TO the ex con
feiera,e soldiers, and said they were
the best and most peacable men in the
South. 1t is gratifying TO have This
testimony, iuasmuch as the ex coufed
crate soldiers comprise the whole
population Of that section. eycept
those who were over or under military
age when the war occurred, aai, of
course, excepting The co!or,d popu!a
ton. Such being the fact, ard the
confederate soldiers being the most
pesesble men in the South, what does
TIE President mean by charging the
Southern population with wholesale
intimidation and by sending United
States soldiers to keep the ex- -conlede-
ale soldiers In order? Commitments in
one breath end bayonets in another
towards The same people Is cot easy to
understand. Il is presidential logic
the logic of a bull dozed man
that's all.

They teach the necessity Of every man
who is entitled TO the franchise going 10
the polls ON election day and exercise
it. They also teach The necessity Of
every State having stringent laws f0r

zaiion, fraudulent registration, and
frau iulent voting. The emergency Is
one which had been foTeSeau by few
wise heads, but by The great majority
Of our law makers was considered 50

intention OF the AmericanJ eopie 20 car

the result of their voting be what il
may, they viii abide by it if couyjuc
ed that everything has been tair. Xvi
dently there are defects somewhere in
the details of their goverumrnlal SIS
TEN which need 20 be remejiea, and
the existing complications are an ad-
mOuiiion that the remedy cannot be
