It seemed to be assumed at Washington
as a matrer of course when General Bragg
smote the awful form of the Southern
Claims. and mentioned the Confederate
Brigadiers that their majestic attitudes
were too impressive, that he was no longer
fit for the membership in the Democratic
party. The reply to him was an order
from the Confederate Brigadiers. that he
should retire at once into the ranks OF the
Republican party, and become an humble
follower of Jim Blaine. But there are
other ways of looking at it. The Brooklyn
Eagle says:
General Bragg doubtless recalls the
time when the average Northern Democrat
| ic Congressman was creature whose chleI
business around the Capitol seemed to be
to say ditto to Southern propositions; and,
recalling it, intends, so far as he IS con-
ce-ned, to let the gentlemen from the old
/ Cotton States understand that the breed OF
/ sycophants is less common now than 1t was
| when the STAKEHOLDER cracked the whip IN
party caucuses and conventions thab ne
| had learned to use on his plantation. In
speaking plainly on this subject General
| Bragg does the Southern Congressman

him than to be encouraged to reassert pre-
tensions that are very much out of date

of the old-time Southern Democratic lead
ers could do to the modern Democratic
