The malicious and vindictiye ISLANDERS
now so current against General LONGsTREET
in the Southern Democratic press are the
reward bestowed by the BourbOns upon II
former friend who is now honest enough TO
recant his treason and accept the logical
consequences Of his defeat. They are Mt the
same time a strikingIy convincing illustra-
ton Of the fllsehood asserted by the Bour-
bons when they assume to say that the
South is free from political prescription or
social ostlaGism. Here is man who as we
have said before, is without his equal among
the eN-ConlGderltes in the deserved brill
Iiancy of his military record, who will 80

DEAR SIR: / agree with you that
a marked change for tho better is taking place
in public sentiment at the North in relation
to the incidentally disastrous policy Of Presl-
dent Hayes, and the practical disfranchiso.
mcnt of tho entire colorcd population at the
South, by shameless fraud brutal intimidation,
and rcmorselcss slaughter. Still am not
sanguino AS to Republican triumph at the
next Presidential struggle, seeing that, with
well.assured solid South" for the Democratic
nominee, less than fifty votes will be needed
from all the North to carry him into the White
House.
The only feasible way to prevent such
catastrophe--and this is demanded by every
consideration Of truth, justice, and rights
for tho Republican party, its organs and lead
ers to meet this issue in an unComprOmising
aud in1exible spirit. There Is nothing which
strikes such terror or causes such lOaming at
tho mouth in the ranks of the armed conspra-
tors at the South, or elicits such responsive
howlings from their servle minions at the
North, as waving the bloody shirt IA term
of their own devsing in order to make Il Jest
of the most sanguinary outragcs, but which
COmprchensiycly symbolizes long eX-
tended reign of terror" during which
thousands of innocent victims have

be waved until an end be put to the shedding
of blood by the organized assassins who are
boldly aud successfully setting the Federal
Government at defiance and trampling the
Constitution and laws of the country under
their feet. Let ii shown by Confirmation
strong as proofs from Holy Writ that tho
South lusing that designation rs Of old is still
full of the habitatons of cruelty; that her
hands are stained and her garments saturated
with blood that her feet run TO evil, and
there is no Judgment In her goings that she
is as disloyal in spirit rs she was when she

THE NEW ARMY BILL.

Was the BURNSIDE Commission aware
that the experiment Of making an inter
changeability between the line and STAFF by
reducing the number Of permanent officers
of the staff departments and supplying
those departments with necessary addi-

been given thorough trial in this country,
and had been found to be ruinous to the
efficiency Of the service? We have taken

this subject, to be found in Executive

GRANT AND THE SOUTH.

The Kingston IN. " Freeman reflects
the real sentiment Of the North when il
says:
Whoever the next President may be, c,whcther
GRANT, CONKLIEG, BLAINE, WAsHBuRNE, or
any of the others who have been named, the
South may rely upon il that he will be a stall
wart Republican, equipped by Il will of his
own and thar Of the people to enforce the law
of suffrage in every Southern State. Past OK
perenco has taught the superior classes of
that section to fear GRANT, and every mention
of his name in connection with the campaign Of
1880 sets them trembling with rage and terror.
Should he return to the White House in 1851
he would not find the conquered rebels where he
left them in 1876, praying for dciverance from
the military power, and pledging submission to
the laws Of the country and protection to every
citizen, but he would find them fired with II
hate for the Government and tho laws which
had been carefully nursed for sixteen years,
secretly when he was President but openly
from the moment that he left the Presidential
chair. But he would finish the work that was
not completed when LEES sword was put into
his hands ut AppOmattox. One thing Is Ger
tain, the GRANT movement is not likely to lose
ground in the North from the assertion of any
unrepentant rebel sheet that IL hates and fears
him. And the spirit this GRANT movement
will be the controlling power in the next cam
paign. If GRANT is not recalled to the leader
ship, the man TO take the place will be one who
will deal with the South with the same firm
and courageous determination to vindicate the
law that made GRANTS administration one OF
the noblestand proudest in the nations history.

TIE difference between a monument to

ranks in history alongside Of BENEDICT

This is the opinion, matured and definite,

is based upon the loyal assumption that the

fought for the Conlcdemcy is an indOrse-
