The "BlOOtiy Shirt"

Whenever the Democracy, for which party
the New York Herald blows a penny whistle,
want to make the Republicans feel real bad,
they will cry "bloody shirt" as though that
article of Democratic manufacture was re-
proach to Republicanism. The Democrats
were four years engaged in the manufacture
Of "bloody shirts" They first set up bust
ness at Fort Sumter, and afterward opened
branch establishments in all the Southern
Statcs.k How well the trade succeeded is a
matter of history. Suffice it to say that the
concern closed its shops everywhere, except
among the "niggcrs"-made an assignment
to one U. S. GRANT at Appomattox-and
went into utter bankruptcy, after having
manufactured over two hundred thousand q
year. This, in brief, is true history of the
@bloody shirt" manufactory of the Demo,
Gratis, and they do not seem now to fancy Il
trade which bursted them up and has kept
them in political poverty for seventeen
years. So long as memory lasts they will
be reminded of their former business and
trade.

Bourbonisn, 70 the Front.

On Wednesday next the people of Geor-
Gia will vote on the new State constitution
that has been framed under the guidance of
TooMBs and other Bourbon Democrats of
that State. This instrument is thoroughly
hostile, not only TO the poorer classes of the
people, but TO the broad principles of human
right. 1t contains, among other provisions,
one declaring that no person shall vote un-
less he has paid his poll and other taxes in
that year. This, it is estimated, will disfran-
chise more than $4,000 voters, merely on ac-
count of their poverty. 1t cuts off the Ia
borers' and mechanics lien-law, which is in
the present constitution, bold stroke at
the laborers. 1t abolshes the provision OF
the present constitution making taxes equal
onall kinds of property, leaving it SO that
the Legislature may levy ten or twenty dol.
lars poll on the poor, or us much as they
please 1t also is less liberal to the com,
mon school system than the present consti.
tuition; in fact, cripples that great benefactoI
Of poor people.
Thus Bourbonism comes to the front in
Its broadest and most illberal aspect as soon
as they get control of State. SO fur and
50 FIST rs they get power, these bigoted
haters of equal rights tampcr with the
organic law and place upon it their hated
and malignant MARKS. There is great danger
to the peace and welfare of the common
country lurking in these rapid encroach
ments upon personal and political rights
They inevitably create in each of the South
ern States large element of population
which, being thus dcspoiled of their rights
naturally become the enemies to existing
law, aud are liable, sooner or later, to b.
come ve1geiul over their accumulated
wrongs Justice will not always sleep, as
the South have had occasion to understand
heretofore to their sorrow.

Amid this scene his manly form
Seemed framed as cagler' for the storm.
His subtle force, and grasp Of mind;
His genial soul, and nature kind;
His courtly grace, his voice. alone,
with rich and deep majestic tone; ..
His noble presence, master skill,
Snbdued all spirits 10 his will.
His direst foes, Of Southern clan,
All owned him Natures noblemsnt

or little ends and selfish strife
The grandest souls must on givo way
10 little pigmies Of a day,
Who. with low tricks and blustcr loud,
Mislead and daze the shallow crowd,
That deem, within their narrow span,
Success alone doth make the man.
Like base Judean In the play,
They cast peerless pearl away;
Nor reck they Of Its royal birth
Till Death reveals It's priceless worth.

During his Thanksgiving sermon, on Thurs

Ward Beecher delivered the following eulogy
upon Gen. Grant:
Washington was less thought Of In this
nation as the leader Of the volutionary army
than as the man who taught the nation peace
Gen. Grant-lapplausol- l-who was beyond oil
question our best and ablest General, and who
by his skill and indomitable courage, wrought
for MS final deliverance, sat In the Presidential
chair-not without some mistakes, for he was
human, but without one single tendency ia
military rule, and with as absolute o respect
for civil law as had been manifested by any
President from the time Of Washington. When
all collateral things, Mr.. Beechcr said, shall
have gone below tho horizon Of time, Grant,
name and fame win stand and tower. Applause.

The Keokuk Consultation has the following
indignant remarks concerning the course that
certain journals are pursuing toward the ex-
Secretary of War and his wife:
1t is singular how men md editors will wait
for years to get a chance to lie and be witty
about man they do not like. The above is a
sample. There Is no truth In II. 1t Is of a
piece with the coarse and cruel inventions

hibit in still keeping up their filings at Mrs
Belknap, invading the privacy Of her home
the sanctity Of an unstained life, and the sa'
tcredness Of womans right to protection, in or.
der to show their own innate coarseness and
vulgarity. One of the inefiaceable stains up.
on the American press Is the cruel and wicked
treatment which some Of It's papers have be.
slowed upon this lady, q gentlewonian In pri,
yate life, who had no means Of striking back
and whose conduct since the sensation at

bitter persecution, with which wecan have
no sympathy. Every man, whether
in or out Of Office, is entitled
10 fair treatment, and should be

the evidence that number of forged tele-
grams, assailing the business character of
Mr.. REED, have been forwarded to the Post
Office Committee Of the Senate, with view

upon the perpetrators Of the assault, and

ing the rights Of branches Of the same family
