most to the exclusion of such Democrats as
had worn the blue instead of the gray dur
ing the war of rebellion We can name on e
Democrat, from Pennsylvania, who fought
bravely during the war on the Union side,
and rose to the command of a division, so
good and so able q man and soldier was he,
who has been made football between the
two Houses of Congress since the Democrats
came into power, and has for q brief period
been permitted to drive mail wagon and
deliver their mail to Senators and Represent
atives in Congress, who he had met and
vanquished ON the battlefield. Thus he
has been appreciated and humiliated for the
simple reason that he fought on the wrong
side during the rebellion. After enduring
this rebuff and modification, we infer from
% remark he has made that he has had
about enough Of that sort of thing, and is
seriously contemplating party emancipa-
ton.
The Democrats have taught the Republic
cans lesson which they should profit by
in shaping their course relating to patron
age, and through every department down
to the District government tickets of leave
should be promptly rendered TO every
Democrat now holding position under Re-
publican rule, until that source of COM
plant on the part of Southern Republicans
or any other man shall be fully removed.

THE New York Herald has more trouble
with politics and politicians than au incom-
petent mother has with q large family of
small children. Something goes wrong all
the time. 1t is now greatly distressed be-
cause some one has intimated that if Cen
eral GRANT shall determine to come into
New York before the State election trans
pires, monster meeting will be organized
to honor the ex-President Such an intima-
ton is little too much for the nerves OF
the Herald, and it hysterically exclaims:
No greater indignity could be put upon the
lllustrious traveller than to lead him about the
political circus for the benefit of lot of office
seekers.
If the Herald will be calm and composed
and await the coming of General GRANT to
New York, il will witness a monster meet
ing of more than million of people who
will delight to do him honor This futile
"dalliance" of the Herald with the inevita-
BILE betrays n weakness on its part that
betokens sad disappointment for it, when
the people shall move in this matter of
honoring General GRANT, and of providing
through him for the future peace and well
fare of the common country.

CoLp.BLoopEp ASSASSINATION.

The Chicago Tribune says the correspond
ent of the New York Sun, Mr.. GIBSON,
who has never been charged with any
sympathy with the bloody-shirt issues, but
who, on the contrary, is the most stalwart
of Democrats, has made personal investi-
gution into the circumstances connected
with the murder of young Mr.. DIXON, in
Mississippi, and publishes card in which
he declares that the murder of HENRY M.
DIXON, in Yazoo, was a deliberate, cold
blooded political assassination, and that the
charges made against DIXON are false in
every particular.
The following is the report which Mr.,
GIBSON makes in the matter:
To the Editor Of the S,m.
SIR: The communication from this city
beaded DIXoN's Career" published in the
Sun of August %, does the grossest injustice to
the dead as well as the living. The statements
therein made in regard to the career of II.
5. DIXON, father of HENRY NJ DIXON,
lately murdered in Yazoo, Miss. are
either wholly false or falsely colored. At the
request of the widow of HENRY VI. DIXON, a
most estimabe aud refined lady, who has suf-
fered the bitterest sorrow and endured cruel
privations, / have carefully investigated the
charges made against her dead husband and
unhestatngly pronounce them false in every
particular. The evidence, uncontradicted and
unimpeached, rs to the killing Of HENRY NJ.
DIXON in YazoU, leaves no doubt in my mind
that it was a deliberate, cold-bloodod political
assassination. The article in the Sun of Au-
gust % did not come from or through the
Washington bureau of the san.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September %.

IT may become necessary for the next
session of Congress to do little investiga-
ting Of the irregularities of CLARKsoN N.
POTTER, the great American Investigator.
His accounts appear TO be slightly mixed,
or to say the least, very much out of place,
in regard to the $4,000 appropriated for
the expenses of his committee. In referring
to this matter the New York Tribune says
We believe it is true that there have been
two or three previous instances in which Mr..
PoTTER's short and irregular mode of settle
ment has been permitted by special bills. But
it was always loose, if not unsafe, for the
Treasury, aud Mr.. PoTTER's unpleasant expe-
rience WILL VIC trust, serve TO convince future
chairmcn ofinvestigating committees that it is
at least equally unsafe for them. Hereafter
let us have all expenditures fully accounted
for to the proper officers, and the vouchers
duly filed in the Treasury, where they may
always be examined. That is the regular
course, and safe one for all honest men.

IT is reported from Washington that anti
Administration Republicans are trying to
dissuade Senator BLAINE from taking part
in the Ohio campaign. Their argument is
that it will be best for his Presidential pros
poets if FOSTER shall be defeated that such
result will slap HAYES and dispose of SHER-
MAN at the same time. All that is needful to
be said of such counsel, if indeed it may be
true, is that the authors of such drivel aIe
too contemptiblc to exercise the right of citi-
zenship.-SyrdcaSe Journal,
We trust that our respected cotemporary
has been misinformed, but if it should turn
out that there is any truth in the report
referred to, and there are any Republicans
who desire the defeat Of FOSTER, we most
heartily join in the anathema pronounced
upon them by it in fitting terms, They
belong with GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, the
Nation, the IVestiche Post, and other sore
heads in the Republican party, who are
plotting for the election of ROBINSON over
CORNELL in New York. We are against
all such Republicans, be they whom and

TIE TuDEN interview printed in our
news columns yesterday wherein the Cipher
Ogre was permitted to give vent to his
views regarding the Southern question was
the result, undoubtedly, of a characteristic
endeavor on his part to create public opinion
in his favor or in favor of his denomination.
1t is Of a piece with his anti-Southern claims
letter written just before his nomination
at st. Louis in 1876. That letter was u
direct slap at the Southern wing of the
Democratic party and rebuke Of the most
emphatic kind of the particular and pecu-
liar policy of the Southern Brigadies. But
il was no more of a rebuke to them than is
to be found in the reputation and denun-
ciation of their bogus Home Rule, which
forms the significant part of the interview
in question. The truth is, this interview,
like that letter, is a bid from TILDEN loI
popularity among the people of the North
and the conservative element of the
Democracy in general lie knows that il
he is renominated the South will be
compelled to support him, aud that the
enunciation of such views just now may
serve to add strength to his candidacy s't'r

plains Of Secretary SHERMAN for putting
"too much hog into the dollar" using a
figure Of speech which took nightly in

caused SoLON to be regarded as n genius of

hog for value he was able to reach the aver
age intellect of the down Casters and make
some converts to his theory. But if Uncle
SOLoE doesn't like dollar with much hog
in it, he should sell q yoke Of them stcersp
for Confederate dollars There's no hog in
them-not bristle-not a kmk of q suck

money he would realize an immense profit
on his steers, and at the same time pay u

ing which has most successfully eliminated

fled in Massachusetts, this month, where
three reform conventions have been held to
pay pOst-mortem honOrs to BEN BUTLER,

nllusion TO what the reformers were de-
lighted, n few years ago, to call the back
