Tho Baltimore Gazette says; "The
'Nigger Question is up again in Kan.
sas. When it was up about a quarter
Of century ago 1t involved the admis-
sion of slave labor to Bleeding Kan

of free negroes. The poor man in
Kansas objects to the influx of negro
settlers to an extent that threatens the
State with bleeding again, though the
blood this time, if any, will be shed by
the Sons OF Freedom and the bleedee,
if we may be allowed the expression,
will be the Niger, and not the Dor
der ruffian.' The color-line is again
drawn-and all the rest OF It. Even
the new amendments of the Constitu-
tion are spoken Of in Kansas with con.
tempt. Now we can well understand
why the Southern States should OBJ.

SMALL BusINEss.-The great ado

ratbor small business.
How docs il happen that the Repub

them to ponder on this.

ruptions and frauds.
Why did they not cast off Grant and

BRAzEN IMpUDENoE.-De Golyer Gar
field is in a state of alarm just now
over tho assumed intention of the Dem.
oorats to subyert the Government. He
made q speech upon the subject in the

De Golyer Garfield maintained that,
for thopeople's representatives to force
the redress of the peoples grievances
by Withholding the supplies that come
out of the peoples pockets, was revo'
lutionary-9reyOlutionary to the core"
That is a point on which thore is at

But there is no room for differ
ence of opinion as to.the impertinenct
of De Golyer Garfield in putting him

LIARS, HAYES AND ALL.--The Stal-
warts are resorting to oil sorts Of
methods to compel Hayes to veto the
Appropriation bills. The favorite one
is to manufacture interviews pledging
himself in advance TO veto the bills
when they go to him. The New York
Herald Of the Sd inst. says: "If Pres
ident Hayes vetoes either or both Of
the Appropriation bills, he will grieyi'
ously disappoint the reasonable expect
ations ofthe public if he does not Justify
so important an act by very cogen'
and convincing reasons, A veto affixed
simply at the command of bis party
might satisfy tho party leaders
but it would justly arouse
storm Of public indignation against
him ss on oct degrading to his office
and insulting to the nation" The
Herald then goes on to show that tht
Republicans have affixed political leg
islation TO Appropriation bills, ono
made precedents for the present actor
of the Democrats, in one case while Mr.
Hayes was a Representative in Con
gress. General Garfield is also quotec
against himself.

PRETTY JUDGES.

The Harrisburg Patriot says that on
the first trial two of the judges of Gen.
Fitz John Porter were Generals King
and Ricketts,, who were themselves
chiefly responsible for the Bull Run
disaster. As the evidence shows, these
two officers were ordered with their
commands TO prevent Longstreet from
pushing through Thoroaghtare Gap.
But they abandoned their posts with
out orders and Gen. Longstreet sue
ceeded in getting in front of Gen. Por-
ter, who held him during long Sum-
mer's day so that he could not go to
the assistance of Stonewall Jackson,
who was fighting with the main body
Of Pope's army. Upon this state of
facts the advisory board was justified in
declaring that Gen. Porter saved the
Union army from disaster on the Goth
of August, 1862. 1t seems monstrous
at this day that such an outrage could
have been perpetrated or permitted as
the detail for a court martial Of two
officers of the meanest capacity, who
were themselves guilty of gross disobe-
dience and neglect, in order that they
might put the burden of their offense
upon an innocent soldier who was
faithfully and ably discharging his
duty. With Pope and M'Dowell as the
principal witnesses against Porter, and
with King and Ricketts, for his judges,
the trial was as foul conspiracy as is
recorded in military annals, Tho on,
ly defense of Secretary Stanton is that
he was deceived by those who had the
deepest interest In misrepresenting and
traducing Porter that they might es-
cape the consequences of their militia
ry incapacity. But the advisory board,
consisting of Generals schofeld, Terry
and Getty, has patiently unraveled the
web of ialschood that was woven for
the destruction Of Gen. Porter. Had
officers like these been on the court
martial the great wrong would never
have been committed. Justice win not
be done TO Gen. Porter until hc is re.
stored 70 rank as well as to full pay
for oil the time that he was put In un.
merited disgrace. Even that will be
far from compromising for oil that he
has suffered, If he had not been tern
from his command there Is no doubt
that he would have reached the highest
positions in the army and have per-
formed the most valuable services to
his country.
