The Fools Are not all Dead.

Mr.. Postmaster General Key may
not be a very edifying figure in
American politics, but we see no
reason why he should be singled
out for exceptional criticism, The
other day, in the course of the tame
speeches which have enlIvened the
Presidents excursion into New En-
gland, he, an eX- Confederate soldier,
took leave to say the South had
made a mistake in the secession
movement. That is a truism that
any idiot ought to comprehend
Four years of disastrous war and
twelve years of disastrous peace,
hundreds of thousands of widows
and orphans, the loss of hundreds
of millions of property, together
with a national debt for which the
South is equally bound with the
North, confirm the dreadful truth
that the fight was i'll chosen, i'll
timed, ill-made, and blended. So
much we have often said. So much
sensible men everywhere in the South
would think it childish to deny.
But this does not stop the mouth
of two or three newspapers, which
hope to establish some character for
consistency and fidelity by mere
rampantism. The circum stance
shows that the fools are not all dead
yet on either side of the line.

One Good Result Of Hard Times.

New York Times: Many gamb-
ling houses in different quarters OF
the town have been closed for the
want of support. Dens of iniquity
that pretended to be fashionable,
and had gained most enviable noto-
riety, have been compelled to relin
quish their nefarious trade. Any
amount of rum shops, the gilded as
well as the squalid have been driven
into bankruptcy. Policy shops
without number, draining the peck
cts of the poor; have shut their
doors. Low dance houses in the
slums, vile resorts in pretentious
quarters, repulsive places of exhibi.
ton, licencious resorts of varied
kinds have been noticeably dimin-
ished, and the diminution still goes
on. The people who kept them and
the people tt.at patronized them
may not have better principles than
they had, some years ago; but they
have better practices from sheer ne
cessity, and to a certain extent
therefore, they have undergone re.
