RANK TREASON.
Private Dalzell Gets Up on His Ear.


To the Editor OF the Cincinnati Times:
don't know What statesmen call these
meetings to organize rebellion against
the administration of General Hayes-I
call it treason, rank tleason. Every man
who counsels the like is traitor and
should be hanged, and is not hanged
simply. because nine out Of ten of the
men who organize this rebellion of wind
and words are born towards whose idle
-aporing would make a corpse laugh.
They fail to provoke anger only because
they provoke our contempt. Some OF
them fled the draft Some of them de-
serted the army. Some of them jumped
the bounty. Some Of them fed to Can
doctors for certificate of diseases not
polite to name now. All of them were
Copperheads and towards
They are all Tilden men now. They
want war, a war of wind and printers
ink, war of fools cap and fools talk !
That is all there 10 Of it. The brave ex-
Confederates despise them. They prom
ised aid for the South, but were too cow
ardly to muster under Lee or Grant
either They were between fever and
sweat all through the war.
This war of wind-bags is fearful to old
ladies and decrepid old men, but does
not frIghten the army and navy of the
United States that put down q million
OF brave rebels i'm arms. 1t does not in
timidate Grant It does not frighten
Sherman. 1t does not move Hayes from
his equipoise that awakens the wonder
and admiration, to-day, of the whole
world They will meet these traitors
and punish their treason yet-with silent
contempt, the only notice their empty
boasting merits. They will meet in Co
lumbus. They will meet in indianapolis.
They will declare war on the Union.
They will threaten a second rebellion.
They will prophesy second secession.
But who will lead their armies 2. Tilden,

Golden Circle, and make war on hen.
roosts, women and childrenl
1t will be only storm OF wind. A
towards breath Ia no sirocco. We have
heard It many years ago-the same old
hiss of copperheads We are used TO it.
1t frightens children only-but has nc
terror for men who have, like Ben. Hill,
listened to the. conservative argument
of a l6-ihch shellf
Let the towards howl, and scream and
resolute till the cows come home Let
the copperheads whine and swear and
secede again il they dare. They will not
get off so well If they kick up another
rebellion. They will have no brave reb-
els to do their fighting this time. They
will have no gallant fighting South to
cover their cowardly carcasses next time.
They will feel only the touch Of half
inch ropes round their cowardly necks
and die as dogs die. Ben. Hill warns
them to expect nothing from the South
The 100000 Boys in Blue warn them to
expect no quarter from them next time.
The halfmillion devoted colsred men oi
the South whom they have so long hated
and prosecuted, ten them to beware oi
their vengeance. The more than q quar-.
ter Of million Of majority of loyal
men of the North who chose Hayes Pres
ident, warn them of an approaching
storm that shall sweep the traitors from
Gods green footstool if they dare to lift
their black hands against the Union
again.
Are we to go to war about Paddy
Cronin, or not What will these traitors
ask What do they fight for They
propose to deluge. the land in blood for
Paddy Cronin, or for Patrick Cronin-

If we fight we fight about Paddy Cron-
in's vote-about the vote of man who
swears he was not elected at all, but that
Watts was elected.
Let us understand il clearly. We have
q war about Paddy Cronin, or else we
have no war at all That is all there ia
of it; we all see it clearly.
