Ir is remarked by competent bourbon
authority that General BRACES little squirt
in the House last Wednesday was evolved
" without the slightest provocation from
" anything that had been said, and equally
without warrant when the character of
" the claim lundcr consideration was con-
" sidered.' How naughty it was, if this re-
mark is true in General BRAGG to provoke
"an exceedingly unusual amount of had
feeling and bad blood among his fellow
Democrats. But the fact is the remark is
not true. Enough had been said and done
by the domincering Southern wing of the
Democracy in the House to provoke him
and every other honest Northern Democrat
in that body 10 utter warning protests
against further encroachments Of the kind
upon the rights, dignity, and independence
of the more loyal portion Of that party.
The affair simply shows that the time is
almost at hand when what little respccta-
bic loyalty there ia in the Democratic party
will be compelled from sheer self.respect to
part company with the Bourbons

army and did his full duty to tho South. such
men We're the only loyal men in the South.
Thoy were loyal to their country, they were
loyal to their God, and loyal 60 the uohlCst
highest, holic,t emotions that ever inspired u
human heart
There is no slctionalism in this utteuucc
of course not. The South was the nation,
and the North tcbcllious faction. Rebel
lion was loyalty, and loyalty was treason.
Before long the North will be called upon
to apologize for having so many Greeks, aud
to make amends by paying the war debt OF
the rebellion. Verify, things are getting
mixed.
