Just now the public mind is somewhat ag-

blame General Grant for receiving all this
homage. Nor can those who seek to do him
reverence be offended if he rates this show of
devotion at its proper value. Whatever else
he may be, General Grant is not fool.
The frequent and horrible outrages upon
women and children committed by negroes
in the District have aroused the women to q
course of systematic and persistent action.
Petitions are being circulated among the la
dies of Washington for signature,
addressed to the Ditrict Com
nissioners, demanding such punishment
for this most heinous Of all known crimes, as
will etfec.ually prevent its occurrence. There
is in my opinion no punishment adequate to
this Enthusiastically death is not, and the
d. G. is becoming absolutely infamous
for the number of outrages within its limits.
Hitherto the demons who have been arrested
have escaped punishment entirely, and most
of them have not even been arrested, so that
impunity has made them OVERLOAD.

its appearance on the eve of Presidential
contest. 1t should DO bound in scarlet with
a serpent coiled upon its lids. l mean the
books lids, not the serpents. Its author
ship is attributed TO Ex-Governor Chamber
lain, of South Carolina, who ought to be in
the penitentiary, as we all know, but who is
good writer, and man of resources.
The book is every way worthy

of graphic power and unblushing falsehood,
from first to last, but with an appearance of
candor and fairness that only adds to its pow

to Uncle Toms Cabin and will be rs profit
able as csrpet-bagging to its author without
the disagreeable possibility of penitentiary
looming in the distance.
