THE BITERS BITTEN.

AS might have been expected, the
result Of the uncompromising and bit

Bourbon Democratic editors against
their Southern brethren for allowing the
contamination of what they SO good

the President to suppose for moment
that he expected in any policy or meas

are under professional obligations to
find fault with the new administration.
Its success will render the further exist

zle hopelessly the wit, even of Phila-

of a well-defned principle in the Demo-

vailing Democratic notion that the sui-
fering whites of the South should not
be interfered with by the Federal gov

AS we supposed, the demand of the
United States for its Sl,500,000 from
the Centennial Commission, considera-
bly, deranges the plans of the Perma-
nent Exhibition Company. When the
money is returned to the United States
Treasury, and the outstanding obliga-
tions are cancelled, the shares of Cen
tennial stock will not be worth twenty
five cents on dollar, if so much. The
Permanent Exhibition, however, will
not be abandoned, although the original
programme may be modified in many
respects The President of the Com
pany has made an urgent appeal to the
citizens for additional subscriptions, the
women have gone to work with will,
and the success of the Exhibition to be
opened on May 10th seems to be well
assured.

THE MCCLURE BATTERY.

Because man happens to own a
printing press and can handle pen, be
has no more right to indite libels and
maIign personal reputation than he has
to invade private property or take human
life Every editor Of ordinary intelIl-
gence knows where to draw the line
between the liberty and license Of the
press. A pluckv, bold man,-one with
brains enough and nerve enough to call
things by their right names,-must
necessarily incur personal enmities. If
his motives be honest he generally can
afford them, and will go right on, sus-
tanned by the approval of his own judg-
ment, and by public sentiment gener-
ally. 1t is only where editors prostitute
their columns to base personal uses, by
reckless and malicious attacks on pri-
vate character, that they incur individ-
ual wrath and provoke the censure Of
society.
Nat Mckay, the Naval contractor at
Philadelphia, charged Aleck Mcclure
of the Philadelphia " Times" with just
this act Failing, however, to secure
the redress he sought through the
medium of the court, where at least he
stood upon the same legal footing with
Mcclure, he condescends to play the
role of the bully and way-lay the offend
ing editor. He lacked confidence, how
ever, in the quality of his manliness to
manage Mcclure single-handed, and
with prudent forethought, highly be-
coming Scotch gentleman, he organ
lied a body-guard of two as sort of
ready reserve, to fall in +" at such
crisis in the contest as might indicate
defeat to be imminent. 1t was fortunate
for Mckay that he took so prudent a
step. For once in McClure's grasp, his
windpipe seemed about to be worse
handled by McClure's fingers than his
reputation had been by the Times !"
editors pen. A lucky blow from behind,
however, dealt by one Of Mckay's
henchmen, upon Alexis devoted mug,
set on his pins again the beIligerent
junk dealer.
Evidently it was easier work to strip
an old ship of its valuable copper than
to dismantle of his strength live news
paper man of war. Mckay did not
horse-whip Mcclure simply because he
was not able We give him the credit,
or rather discredit, of the intention, and
wish him worse luck the next time.
Without expressing an opinion as to
the merits or dement's, the strength or
weakness of the case made by the
Times against Mckay, when charg-
ing him with peculation, we simply Oh
serve that if every Government thief
had his corresponding editor, bent on
exposure reckless of result, the peace of
society generally would be much dis
turbed were the Mckay method to be-
come popular

A NEW PARTY IN LOUISIANA.

Whatevermay be the final result of the
Peace policy of the President, a " staff
correspondent " of the New York "Tri-
bune" at least predicates upon it the
certain disintegration of the Democratic
party in the State of Louisiana, and the
formation of a new party in that State
Its principles, he says, will be a cordial
support of President Hayes in his
Southern policy; full recognition of
the civil and political rights of the
blacks; a differentiation with the Re
publcans Of the North. and the adyo-
cacy conformity with them of measures
for the development Of the commerce
and industries of the country. The
new party may not call itself Republic
can, but it will be in complete accord
with the Repubicanism of President
Hayes and his cabinet Its leaders will
be drawn from the most liberal, enter
prising and practical men of the cities
and towns of Louisiana, the large plant
ers of the country parishes, and the
intelligent property holding colored men
of the State In National affairs it will
advocate moderate tariff, specie pay
ments, and liberal policy for the de-
velopment of business interests, and
will ask from Northern Republicans
government aid to repair the levees of
the Mississippi, to keep open a deep
channel from New Orleans to the sea.
and to finish the Southern Pacific Rail
road. In State matters it will oppose
all propositions to hamper the colored
man in the exercise of his right of suf-
frage, and all schemes to make him the
serf of the land owners. 1t will favor
large appropriations for education,
fair division of school money between
the races, and liberal corporation laws
to encourage the investment in the State
of northern capital. In fact, it outlines
in all respects the exact state of affairs
which the President hopes to bring
about in Louisiana. 1t seems visionary,
of course, in view of the political chaos
that has SO long prevailed in that State,
to predict the realization of so millennial
a political organization. Should any
such result, however, follow the with
drawal of troops from that State, and

TWEED'S CONFESSION.

Now that the dethroned Tammanv
chieftain has unbosomed himself of his
budget Of interesting experiences and
transactions which he proposes to make
a part of the political history of the
great metropolis, it is easy to explain
the motive of the sudden and mvster-
Gus disappearance of the late A. Oakley
Hall. BY Tweed's statement it appears
that the ex-Tammany mayors proper
ton of stealiDgs was fixed at ten per
cent, and that Mr. Hall was fully aware
of the fraudulent character of the con-
tracts he signed as mayor at the time
he affixed to them his official signature.
Hall, it will be remembered, secured his
acquittal on the ground that his duties
with reference to the fraudulent con-
tracts We're purely ministerial, and that
he was unwittingly imposed upon bv
Tweed and his confederates. In his
defense document, purporting to be a
record of the proceedings Of the Board
Of Audit, of May 9Th, 1870, was pro-
duced and accepted as evidence estab-
fishing Halls innocence of completely
in the frauds Tweed charges that the
audit was a bogus one, that it was
never presented to the Board of Audit,
was never signed by them, but was got
up by Hall and his friends after the
public exposure of the frauds them
selves We give, in another column,
synopsis of "the confession which, in
view of the number and standing of the
men involved, will prove interesting
reading. As to its truth, however, we
accept it with many grains of allow
ance tits fully in keeping with Tweed's
character to suppose that he would pur-
chase his release with the least posi-
BILE amount of truthfulness, and that
he should make his confession" the
medium of attack upon the characters
of prominent opponents Of Tammanv.
The opportunity to malign the reputa-
lions of men heretofore respected, and
who, by their active participation in
the reform movement against Tweed,
of course incurred his enmity, is too
favorable not to be awaited Of Com
menting on the confession as published
in the New York " World" leading
daily expresses the hope "that Tweed's
"actual confession will prove to be every
thing which its bogus summary is not
true, specific, and comprehensive.
Should it turn out to be a somewhat
clumsily-fashioned weapon for doing
the work of Tammany Hall bv assail-
cling the reputation of the enemies of
that institution, it will merely deepen
the contempt for Tweed which the
q recent proceedings of his friends have
revived, and it will certainly have the
" effect of deepening the public disgust
(which has been excited by the negotia-
" lions looking to his release. We have
little expectation that while Tweed's
" fate remains in the hands of the per-
"sons who now control it, he will ever
"be induced to tell the whole truth
" about his associates and accomplces.
" An expansion of the story told him
"on the witness stand about his contri-
buttons paid through Samuel j. Til
I" den to Democratic campaign funds
" would hardly strengthen his case with
" Tilden's Attorney General. A true
statement of his subyentions to the
" New York press might cool the ardor
