THE OSolona Miss Southern States is
now devoting portion of its valuable time
and space to the Northern Democrats and
in rather an unhappy mood. 1t says of
them:
They deny us, and say that we are not Dem
ocrats
That lie should burn their tongues and blis-
ter their souls.
They know full well that our Democracy Is
the Democracy of the South-the Democracy
of eight out of every ten followers of our party
flag on their side of the Ohio and the Potomac.
They know full well that our Democracy
was their Democracy in 1860.
They know full well that our Democracy Is
their Democracy to-day, unless they are Rad
icals at heart, and only remain in our camp TO
capture the loaves and fishes in the communi.
ties where we have majority.
They know that the Democratic party is
The State Rights party;
The Secession party;
The White Mans party.
They know full well that the Peace men,
the VALLANDIGHAM men of lS6l-'65 were
heart and soul in sympathy with the Old Con-
fedeRcy;
That they rejoiced in our victories;
That they lamented our defeats.
They organized their Sons Of Liberty and
knights of the Golden Circle TO weaken the
war party and hamper LINCOLN and his hire
lings in their devil-work Of destruction,

The sudden taking off of Prince LOUIS

call for such dismal howls ss cur Sunday
contemporary rends the air with in its last
issue. The only Democratic doctrine that
we ever have been able to accept to any ex-
tent is the MARCY dogma that to the vic
tors belong the spoils, and we only got the
hang of that through twenty years ex-
perience under which the Democrats never
allowed a member Of the opposing party to
hold office il they could possibly prevent
1t. As they get power again they revive
the old practice and bounce Republicans as
unceremoniously as though they were
aliens, and when we suggest little tit for
tat, then the Democrats begin to cry and
take on as if wronged. But the funniest
part of oil this is that the editor of the
Sunday Herald is himself in the enjoyment
Of a committee clerkship in the Senate from
which Republican was removed to make
place for him.

THE DEPTH OF MEANNEss.

There are depths of meanness TO which
some men can attain that as far outstep the
ordinary mind as the depth of the shafts in
the Consolidated Virginia exceeds that Of
an ordinary well with its old-fashioned
sweep. Congressman ATKINS, in his wild
hunt for economy, seems to have pene-
trated the deepest depth of meanness in
some of his late efforts. In the House of
Representatives bill passed allowing the
employees of the Capitol TO draw pay from
the time of their appointment, as some of
them through ignorance had neglected to
take the oath of office. No opposition
was offered to this in the House, but we
are informed that Mr.. ATKINS, in the inter-
est Of economy, went before the Senate COM
mittee and had this changed. This same
economist has had new Office created in
the House for the benefit of one of his con-
sttuents-that of assistant clerk of the
Committee on Appropriations Such place
was not known under Republican rule, aud
Mr.. ATKINS has the honor of creating it.
Other committees have followed this exam
pie, and we expect soon to see every COM
mittee in the House have its assistant clerk,
all in the interest Of economy as practiced
by Mr. ATKINS for the benefit OF his man
Friday. Yet Mr.. ATKINS cuts off the pay
of employees who have neglected to take
the oath of Office.
We believe in genuine economy, but this
cheese-paring business of Mr.. ATKINS is
only worthy of the contempt it meets from
all fair minded people. A few hundred
dollars is saved to the Government from the
salaries of poor clerks and messengers to be
given TO the iavorites of Mr.. ATKINS, that
is all. We can suggest an economy to Mr..
ATKINS that would not only save n great
deal of money, but would be universally
Endorsed by the people. Let him amend
the law las his committee is now the only
law-making power, except the caucus) for
the payment of members Of Congress SO
that no member shall receive over five
thousand dollars, and that none shall re-
ceive more as Congressman than he can
earn by his business ut home. This would
reduce the pay of fully two hundred mem
bers to from nothing to two thousand dol
lars. and would save the Government at
least one million dollars per anuum. As
the reduction would fall principally on the
Democratic members, we expect violent op.
position to this proposition from the saloon
keepers. Mr.. ATKINS pay under that law
would probably he about what he is worth
seventy-fve cents per annum. If he were
made to pay back the amount he has dam
aged the country during this session by his
position as chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, with the control of the APP
preparation bills, it would bankrupt his dis.
trict. Mr.. ATKINS could then have assist.
ant assistant clerks made for the commit
tees, aud provide for his constituents IN tina
way.

recent letter of General w. T. SHERMAN to
a young friend in New Orleans, which has
subjected him to severe criticism from the
Democrats, we find the following:
The great sin Of the South, the great cause
of all her woes" has been the localism of
her brilliant minds. Instead of boasting of
the spot where one was born by an accident
over which he had no control, should sup
pose every Americnn would be proud Of his
whole country rather than of part. There.
fore hope and pray that the new men of the
South, with whom class you, will cultivate
pride in the whole United States OF America.
instead OF the mere State and locality Of birth.
The words of General SHERMAN are
like apples of gold in pictures of silver
and if they could be made to impress them
selves upon the hearts and consciences of
the present generation in the South great
good would be the issue; but the trouble is
that the Southern heart is so encrusted with
cussedness" that no patriotic or wise senti-
ment can take root there.
THE pacific and loyal public professions of
the Southern Democracy are one thing and
their real underlying political faith and
scrupulous belief are another They as
sumo, for example, to accept the situation
as it was demonstrated by the rehabilita-
ton Of the Southern States under the so
called Radical reconstruction acts. But
when you ask them to analyze the process
and detail the methods by which that re.
habilitntion was accomplished they 90 about
it something in the following style:
| Slavery WAS abolished by a proclamation ol
| Nj. LINCOLN in violation of his oath of Office,
| and the amendment recognizing emancipation
| was forced upon the South by despotc Con
gress while the South was, in violation of the
same Constitution, refused representation In
| Congress.
This sublime assertion of the true inward
| ness of Southern Bourbon sentiment we find
floating about in our exchanges credited tC
the Richmond Dispatch, but it serves the
purpose of comprehensive reflex of tn,
| faith and belief alludedto above. Separate
this aggregation of seditious and untruthiu
| propositions into single and simple postu
| lates and submit each one to som,
\ Southern leader, such n man, for in
stance, as that ordinarily honest ant
outspoken Bourbon, JOE BLACKBURN
for his opinion thereon, what answe
or series of answers would you get? Plainl.
and most assuredly an emphatic indorse
mont of the entire declaration, point b,
point, the whole confirmed by the furthe
assertion that every man, woman, and chill
in the South knows that the Confederat
surrender and all the subsequent proceed
ings incident to their restoration to citizen
ship were fraudulent, Illegal, unconstitu
tional, aud, in short, imposed by the arbi
trary act of merciless conqueror Wit
this mischievous spirit constantly at worl
in the South it is foolishness indeed to ex
pect the growth, during the present genera

WE have reason to believe that LAmARs

of a conspiracy on the part of the Confed-
crate Brigadiers, who had met in conclave,
deliberated, and decided upon this line OF
conduct in the hope of inducing a personal
rencontre in the Senate Chamber, during
which the life of Senator CoNKLING was to
have been taken. But the scheme failed
except that Senator LAMAR performed the
