victory that the Russians have gained
during the compaign, it is one that will in
a great measure restore their claim to q

General Melikoff has been ordered to
march upon Erxeroum, and it will be an
order oDeyed in q very different spirit to

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE ID, 1877,

It seems to BIO understood in Indiana that
Mr.. Voorhees, will be the democratic candidate
for q. 8. Senate fron that State against MIR.
O. P. Morton, next year. The course pursued
by the latter has made him, probably, the most
Objectionable mau to the democratic party 10
the whole country that the radicals could name
for any mundane position-certainly the most
Objectionable to the South. Probably this fact
will make him the more popular among the
bloody shirt members of his party, but wo hope
for the good of the patton that that element, IT
it still controls the party, is not rs powerful as
it formerly was, and our thoughts, based upon
some evidence, ere father to our hopes. from
being violent democrat he has, like General
Logan, General Butler and others of his class,
became moro violent radical, aud has sue
ceeded in riding at the head Of radioalism, aud
maintaining bis influence at headquarters by
wandering to tho malignant instincts OF hate
and envy of their fellow countrymen OF the
South that possess so largo a portion OF the
people of tho North. The object of his trucu'
lent course, however, has been so apparent
and his teachings so iocendiary, that the better
men of his party, even in his own State. have
become disguised with him. and the indications
are that Mr.. Voorhees, will not only hold him
up to the scoru aod Indignation Of people
whose troubles he has done as much as any
one man to prolong, but add to the smart OIL
the excoriation by. applying salt 10 the shape OF
defeating him and taking his place in the U. s.

1t is reported that Colonel Mosby, the
aYowed enemy Of carpet. baggers, says that the
greatest difficulty be experiences in his efforts
to remove that curse upon his section is in the
endorsement they receive from Influential
Southern Democrats Moral courage is one OF
tho rarest of virtues, but We should not thick
its development to an eminent degree was re-.
quired to refuse to approve the application for
office Of any man who can legitimately be
classed among the carpet baggers; for though In
an exceptional instance it may happen that one OF
them is plausible, and apparently we'll dis
posed, the experience Of the whole South is to
the effect that time will dispel the Illusions
concerning him, expose his true iowardness,
and reveal character that 20 mao would be
proud to have endorsed. If prominent South
ern Democrats must approve applications for
Federal offices, aud thereby coDstruotively en-
dorse the fraudulent title by which MIR. Hayes
holds possession of the government, there are
plenty of white and colored applicants, interest
ed in tie welfare OF the South, who are aDx-
ious TO have their endorsement, and who are
in every respect better qualified for the posi-
ton they seek than their carpet bag oppo-
nents. We see no reason why Southern DEM
ocrats, or those from the North either, should
recommend any one for Federal Office, but if
it be essentially requisite that their names
should appear at the departments on the ap.
plicatons for appointment by all means let the
applications be those of people who are not
carpet. baggers.
