As a pertinent illustration of the
fact that the same intolerant senti-
ment still pervades the Democracy of
the South by which 1t was actuated
from 1860 to the close of the war, we
take the following extract from Il
Mississippi paper which is an ac-
knowledged representative of the
views now entertained by the ex-CoD-
federates:
"Wheneyer q Yankee Congressman
lays chip on his shoulder we want
to see the Southern Brigadler spring
forward and yank it as high as the
capitol. There will be a back down
on the part of the DULLES when this
little performance has been repeated
a few times. They must be taught
their old fear and respect for their
southern sUperiors. :
1--WE like the snap and jingle of the
speeches that our Confederate Brig
adiers have made in the present Con-
gress. They will do to dot, as far as
they go, but they hardly go far
enough; they leave little too much
to be understood by intuition.
The paper from which we quote says
of President Hayes. that "a more
thoroughbred criminal never walked
our globe unwhipt of Justice. and
refers to the Republicans of the North
as Lincoln black-legs and to the
patriotic Union men Of the South, as
,'Southern seatteTbreeds. " The quo
tations above given are of a very mild
nature when compared with the fiery
ana unframed political articles of yitu'
peration and hate directed against the
Republicans usually found i'll the pa
per above quoted, and the Democratic
party of tile North sympathizes and
co-operates with those insolent rebels
who now seek to secure through the
ballot, controlled By systematic intlm

HERE is something for our green
back readers, who complain of scar
city of money, to digest: In England
we are told by cable dispatches,
there is such Il glut of money that
prime three months notes are discounts
ed at the rate of one-seyenth Of one
per cent. per annum. This is no evil
dence of scarcity of the circulating
medium, yet workmen are striking
and starving, and manufacturers are
falling i'll numbers never equalled il
this country. Business languishes,
hard times prevail, and men are going
without work or working for Il pit
lance, yet money so plenty that
banks are glad to get rid of it for two
per cent. per annum. From this il
would appear that plethora Of cur
rency does not of itself make good
| times.

General Grant aud the Cork

N " C.,holic Herald.

From the n. Y. Catholic Herald.
The Catholics OF Cork do not forget
that when Grant aspired iur third term
to the Presidency of the Unit d States
he tried to strengthen his position rs the
Republican candidate by importing III
the most invidious manner the religious
and anti-C Catholic element into the potti-
cal agitation. He appealed to the re-
liz Gus passions Of the native American
element in our population, and that APP
peal has now risen in judgment before
him in Ireland.
If, as is openly stated by the friends OF
the Americaa Bismarck, Grant should he
the Republican candidate for the Prcsl
dency in 1850, the Catholic voters Of The
United States must show their detesta
tion of his bigotry not ouly by voting
against him, but by working hard TO Sc
cure his defeat. Cork has set "lrelan,
in America" good example, and We
confidently trust that our countrymcr
will profit by il.

THE WAR DEBr.-Durine the war,

THE WAR DEBT.-During the war, if
rich man with family, or a rich mans
son, was drafted, all he had to do was to
get substitute. Seeing this to be the
case, and that many yelping ours like
the editor Of the two-cent paper at that
time, escaped going into the ranks and
were kept at home to slander and wrong
others. The State of Delaware stepped
forward determined to equalize the mat
ter as far as in its power laid, and when
a poor man with family was drafted it
proffered him $500 toward getting sub
stitute. This offer was availed of by
hundreds of men from both political
parties, and Delaware furnished more
soldiers in proportion to her inhabitants
than any other State in the Union. And
yet the Deld,cdre Republican has the
brazen effrontery to question the patriot
ism of the State in this matter, and says
of the war debt that now taxes our
people
''By reference to the tabulated state
ment in the Message it will be seen that
the residue OF the war bonds amounts TO
S549,U00, redeemable January lst, 1855.
We are glad to know that the Governor
had not lessened the dignity of the ate
by asking for the appointment of com
mission TO negotiate with the general
government to induce 1t to pay the debt.
Better by far when we cons der the mo-
tive which prompted the debt that Della
ware should pay it of and bury the re-
collection Of it in the past never to be
resurrected again. Had the debt been
incurred for patriotic purposes The gene
raj government would have paid il of
long ago, as it did the war debt Of the
moe loyal States"
We never heard it suggested before,
that the Governor was expected to ASK
such a commission: nor do We believe
he ever thought of il, or proposed to dc
it. y just and honorable government
would not have hesitated one moment
about paying ;his debt. Pennsylvania
and New York and New Jersey We're al
inhabited wi Ii people who were calle,
disloyal and yet they, as tie Repubiicu
SAYS, were paid. But, in Delaware, tn,
"loyal' aud ''disloyal,' if you like, ar'
all required to bear the burden Of a taS
that the great and wealthy States wcr'
long ago relieved Of This is neilhe

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE has met
with very kind reception from our
friends, of the late Republican party, Of
Delaware. Indeed We might say that it
has been approved in all the main fea-
lures, if the opposition press express the
opinion Of those of the Republican party
that still adhere to the old organization
And this implies great deal for the
policy Of the Democracy of Delaware,
and the Governor, who was its choice at
the polls, and is its political representa-
tive. Is it not conceding all that could
be expected since our State has had no
influence in the General Government,
conducted as it has been for the last de-
cade oI more, Who'll y in the interest of a
political party, at war with every seuti-
meLt of economy and adverse TO all con-
rsativism and compromise. Here

we find the great and good cid party
occupying a position conceded to be un

ed single dollar Of the State funds. Ii

should not be inferred that the Governo

The Message is no better than W

expectation /; and the great party frol
which all that is good and commercial
emanates, deserves the greatest CONNER
