Ex-CoNGEEssMAN WADDELL of North Car
olina, who is an extreme Democrat, has
written a letter declaring that the time has
come for the Southern Democrats TO break
away from their Northern allies. The latter,
he says, urged the former TO go to work and
make a ''Solid South" which would enable
the Democratic party TO control the Govern
ment. The Southern Democrats took them
at their word, andby resorting 10 extraordin-
ary and violent methods succeeded in max
ing the South lid The Northern Demo
Gratis then became alarmed at the success OF
their scheme and left the Southern Demo.
Gratis to work out their own salvation The
result has been that the South is worse off
now than it was before, and the outlook
for the future is not such US to give any hope
that the Democratic party is likely TO come
into power again for many years to come.
Under this condition of affairs, Col. Wad-
dell says it is the true policy of the South to
refuse to 20 into the next National Demo
cratic Convention and to hold separate
convention, and support the nomination Of
Gen Grant for President. He believes that
large part of the rank and file of the Dem
ocratic party in the South would like to see
Grant President again, and that they will
fare better under him than if Il North
ern Democrat is chosen. He says that
Grant can and will receive the electoral votes
of several of the Southern States, because
many of the best Democrats of the South are
tired of the ''solid South, and want TO see il
broken up in the interest of peace and pros
perity. A Washington despatch says that
the sentiments expressed by Mr. Waddcll are
in accord with the talk of numerous South
ern Democrats who are alarmed for the fu
ture of their section of the country, unless
the ''Solid South" is broken up. and the
Republican party put in position where it
will for political reasons extend helping
hand TO the white element. These men say
that if Grant is the nominee of the Republi-
Can party next year, he will he supported
openly by influential Democrats in the South,
and will receive the electoral votes of States
now apparently hopelessly Democratic.
We have little doubt that Gen. Grant teW
nominated receive the support of some
now Democratic Southern States; but it will
be because the colored Republicans, with
Grant as the nominee, cannot be prevented
from voting for him rather than because of
any very extensive support from the white
Democracy. Still the fact that Democrat
as prominent as Mr.. Waddell should take
such position, is certainly quite significant

The free (and fouD thinker, D. NJ. Ben
nett, the fellow whom sundry very 'liberal'
people have been making a martyr OF on nc
count of his Imprisonment under the United
States law against mailing obscene matter, is
characterized by Spiritualist paper, the Re
Hgio-P Philosophical Journal, as libertine
and hypocrite, and is charged with attempt
ing to seduce young woman in his employ,
while loudly processing the warmest devo-
ton to his wife The Journal publishes
portions of several letters written by Bennett
to the young woman, from which it appears
that he persuaded her to take a desk in his
publication office with the deliberate purpose
of making her his mistress. After his fail
ure to corrupt her, he tried to get back his
letters, and failing in that, he attempted to
ruin her reputation in gross ways, which are
related at length by the Journal, which says
that names will be given and the letters pro
duced, lift becomes necessary. All this was
going on while Bennett was proclaiming to
the world the advent of a much higher state
of morality than the Christian religion
teaches. Bennett made special appeal at his
trial on the ground of his exemplary charac-
ter, and his happy domestic life; and IN ms
Truth Seeker, bidding farewell 10 his read
ers on his departure to the Albany penlten-
tiary, he alluded to his devoted, retiring
little wife" saying, Il have been her sup
port, her sunlight and her all :" 1--WE both
think it better to suffer wrong than TO do
wrong" As the offence of circulating OBJ
scene literature was most distinctly proved
against Bennett, this additional disclosure of
his hypocrisy and dirty personal character
ought to reconcile some decent people, who
have been inclined to think him prosecuted
man, TO the course Of justice in this case
The Springfield Republican, however, with
the same independence in morals that it
prides itself upon in politics, makes the
publication in the Religio-etc. Journal an
occasion for rcterating its former opinion,
that the arrest and conviction of Bennett was
u mistake, an injustice and violationof the
rights of free speech and II free Press. The
Republican goes the length of holding " that
a free government must permit the express
sion of the most mischievous opinions, even
those subversivc of society This is tanta-
mount to declaration that the Republican,
a journal which goes into thousands of pure
and peaceful homes -would rather see Socic-
ty overturned, the family institution abolish
ed, and human society recognized on the
foul and loathesome basis of free love- So
called, which is in reality free lust, rather
than have legal check applied to the circu-
lation of foul literature. We should not have
ventured to make such charge as this
against tho Republican thought better OF
it but it is its own statement of its posi-
ton! Fortunately the laws of the United
States are framed upon different theory
and district attorneys, doubtless, will con
tinue to prosecute and juries to convict and
Judges TO sentence the purveyors and dis
tributors of obscenity, when they can get hold
of them.
