Then and Now.

The first French ball in New York
was given at the Bowery about 1927.
Nine. Hutton, the principal dancer, On
appearing in her brief and gauzy cos
tune, was greeted with a storm of Kisses,
which ended in an uproar and the de-
parture of many from the theatre. The
curtain was rung down, and no further
performance was given that night. There
was a general attack upon the troupe in
the papers of the next day, and the ex-
hibition was characterized as the most
shameful and indecent ever presented in
the city. The consequence was that
standing room could not be found the
following night on the rising of the cur
tain. The house was black with men
only. Within q week, however, few
ladies appeared, and before the end of
the month fashionable New York had
Hooked in large numbers to the theatre.

An Outrage.

PITTsBURG, Pa, September 22.-As
proof that the ex-rehels are as bitter
against Union men as at any former
period the following case may be cited
William Beasley was member of COM
pany F, Tenth West Virginia Infantry.
While visiting home on furlough he
was assaulted on account of his Union
principles by two men named Fox, and,
in self-dfeense, he wounded one of his
assailants. He was reported, tried
and honorably acquitted by court
martial. This was in 1868. A
few days ago, Fox having learned
that al the records of Beasleys court.
martial had been lost or destroyed,
brought an action for assault with intent
to kill against the old soldier, and had
him thrown into prison, leaving his ten
motherless children to the mercy Of
strangers. Being very poor, Beasley was
unable to obtain counsel, and the court
refused to assign him one-not remark
able thing when it is considered
that eleven members of the court which
condemned him were secessionists, anc
three Of that eleven ex-Confederate Off
cers. An attorney who volunteered to de
fend him was assaulted by the rebel ele
ment and prevented from entering court
Eli Lee, another Union veteran, is alsC

is attracting considerable attention, anc

IS His Pestilency," the Governor {
Kentucky.

Luke 2. Blackburn, by the grace of
Democratic votes, governor of Kentucky,
has finally consented to talk upon the
subject of the charge that he is the man
who, during the war, attempted to spread
through the north smallpox and yellow
fever by means of infected clothing
but mis- talk is by no means satisfactory.
He says that he "did not consider it
worth while either to affirm or deny the
story, as it was too preposterous
to believe;" that smallpox was
in every camp of both armies,
hence it would be the height
of folly to attempt to introduce a dis
ease that already existed" If this is
all that he can say, he had better never
broken silence. He does not deny the
story in 80 many words, but seeks to
convey the impression that he does, by
ridiculing it. But he should remember
that the fact that some one of the same
name and profession with himself did
endeavor to do the infamous thing
stated, ia matter of indisputable rec
ord; that the scheme was not confined to
the one disease of smallpox, but en-
braced yellow fever as well, and
was intended not alone for the
army, but for northern cities. His
statement that smallpox was in
every camp of both armies was not true
as to the northern army. Thus the SEEM
ing denial is of no value whatever.
If he is entirely innocent of the charge
he could easily have said 80, and it
would have been no more compromise
of his dignity than what he has said.
An innocent man charged with so infa-
nous crime upon such apparently
good grounds would not have hesitated
to deny it promptly and emphatically,
and to offer an explanation of the cir
cumstances seeming to sustain the
charge. If Blackburn be the guilty
party that he appears to be the matter i,
of general interest and importance as
showing what kind of men most readily
receive the suffrage of the Democratic
party in the south and states bordering
thereon.
1t is pertinent to state in this connec-
ton that the Cincinnati Gazette published
four columns of official testimony re-
garding the plot of one DR.. Luke P
Blackburn, Of Kentucky, in the island
of Bermuda, in 1864, to secure infected
clothing for introduction into the United
States. Therefore that there was such a
plot, and that the man conducting it
was of the same name, profession and
state as the governor of Kentucky is a
matter of official record. The only
question is, is the governor the man? AS
neither he nor any of his friends claim
that there is another man of precisely
the same name and profession, the evil
dence against him seems conclusive.

not party Of spotles reputation.
It seems natural for all political par.
ties to grew corrupt with age. But
to act for the time With that party is our
choice, and no one has any right to object
to our thus choosing. May God save the
Republic from the scorpion bite of that
Democracy whose pretensions OF love for
soft money (see the late hard money plat.
form Of the Democrats in wisconsin, are
proved to be as baseless as their vaporings
about being the projectors of freedom and
the equal rights Of man" while they stood
by the slave.cursed south for more than
half century. When We have shown to
the world that men who deserved death as
traitors shall not legislate for freemen, we
can have more and larger opportunities to
preach other needed reforms.
In another long article, addressed
"To the True Greenback Men of Wis
consin," the editor of the Greenback re-
hearses the infamous record of Brick
Pomeroy-how from being copperhead
Democrat, reviler of all who fought
for the Union, and are ridiculer of
greenbacks and Greenbackers, he has
now got himself placed at the head of
the Greenback party. And then he asks
t patriotic and honest men of
the party-those whe sincerely
believe in its principles, how
they can consent to compromise them
selves by laboring under such leader.
The article will open the eyes of great
many Greenbackers to the character of
the man who has been made chairman
of their state committee, and cause a
bolt which not all his protestations and
plausible falsifcations can stop.--Even-

suspension of a Leading Greenback
faEer.

The Wisconsin Greenbacker, published
at Sparta, the pioneer paper of the
Greenback faith in this state, was sus-
pended some time since, on account of
"lack of money to pay its running
expenses" The publisher, Arthur
B. Lamborn, expected then that the
suspension would be only temporary,
but it appears that in this expectation he
was disappointed,-the Greenbackers did
not rally to the support of the paper,
although it was the ablest and most
decent exponent of that faith in the
state. On the 18th inst. a very large
edition of the paper was issued, in which
the editor, J. Lamborn, announced that
the regular publication of the paper will
not be resumed, and, in strong article,
reviewed the political situation, declar.
ing that, while he is yet attached to
the principles of the Greenback party,
he recognizes that there are other issues
that, for the time being, are superior to
those of currency REFORM" such as the
question whether those who, few years
since, tried to destroy the Union, by
armed rebellion, shall now make its laws
and dictate its policy, and whether the
Democratic party, that has been on all
sides of all questions except the patriotic
one, shall again secure the power which,
years ago, it so shamefully and
criminally perverted. On these
questions he says that he is with the
Republican party until they are decided
IN accordance with its policy. His ar
alignment of the Democracy is severe
but just, and the reasons which he gives
Tor the course that he has marked out
will strike many of those with whom he
has recently acted as sound and conclu-
slye, and will doubtless influence them
to follow him in his new departure. The
article concludes as follows:
For half century we have stood by the
negroes of the south and we cannot desert
them now.
Reforms in finance or upon anything
however much needed to promote Justice
ana the equal rights of man, are useless
when preached to assassins and traitors.
