Tp,oae Terrible Rebels.

When the J~an-sviile Guards and Hi
nois militia reached Nashville the other
day, on the way to Atlanta. they found
some six thousand men waiting to re-
ceiv4 them at the depot. These rebels
pretended to be friendly and gave ON
bows three rousiug cheers, when they
conducted them to p long table aud foi
an hour they we're subjected to every
indlgnity that the devIish ingenuity OF
the traitors conld invent. or the seasnn
afforded. There was boned chicken.
turkey and cranberry sance, oysters IN
every style. and when poor bows ieft

a diving condition. The same outrage
was repeated at Atlanta. And yet there
are mep who tell us a Northern, man is

Our Washington correspondent claims
to have information that justities the
statement that General Garfield Intends
to break away from the stalwarts OF his
party and make his administration ria
tional rather than sectional in its char
actrr If this information is correct this
purpose is to make his administration
so conservative that neither the North
nor South will have any just canse Tor
being solid. We sineeraly hope tina
this is General Gariald's purpose. He
has a splendid opportunity to render
the country a great service. The ques-
ton is. will he imp owe this opportuni
ty! He has the ability. but has he th"
will and the desire? We do not believe
that he feels any hostility towards the
South, bnt we hardly think that he Is
prepared to place himself in active op
position to the most prominent leaders
Of his party. However, We shall watch
the course Of events and judge him by
his acts.-N. o 7iWes.

Hon. Joseph Brown has been
reelected United States Senator
from Georgia. Democrats of that
State have no cause to be proud OF
the old Renegade and Republican.
When RepubIicanism iourished in
Georgia, Brown flourished with it,
but when Democracy came in pow
er, Brown Topped over, and by his
scheming gets one Of its best offices,
All such traitors as Brown ought
to be relegated to the rear rank for

Use Of Money in Elections.

deplorcd, that money has always
been used in elections. Those
who have made politics their
study are aware of this. Upon this
subject the Mobile Register, says:
CAS- there is no perfection in any
thing of human origin, SO is it that
the ballot box, the safeguard OF the
libartiesof every free people, has not
escaped the communicating inience
OF bribery and corruption. But
though the use Of money in cleo
tions is no new thing, in the his
tory of the world, it appears to US
that this evil has assumed addition
al magnitude of late years. There
are thousands of mel in this land Of
the free who are, not only will
inc but anxious to sell their votes
when q political contest occuls.
There are hundreds of party mana
GERS who understand traffic in votes
quite as well if not better, than the
average citizen understands his lie
ultimate business" There cal be no
objection against using money for
legitimate campaign purposes, but
when, rs in he recent Presidential
contest, voters are c~olOnized from
one State to another, repeaters en-
ployed, and bribery freely resorted
to, a crime is committed against the
purity of the ballot box. The Reg
lister goes on and says, while the
Democratic party has been by nc
means guiltlcss of using money to
improperly influence voters, the Re-
publican party has done much mole
Of the crooked work to which We
have referred. Especially has ii
been guilty of coionlzing voters to
assist in carrying doubtful States
The article is an excellent one, but
it is too lengthy for publication in
full. We give the closing part
when the election of General Han
cock seemed probable there was
much talk among Republicans as to
the hardship CT removing employees
from the Government offices whose
duties were purely clerical, and who
understood thosaduties thorough

Government clerks should be re
garded here as they are in Great
Britain, as public servants outside
the influences Of party politics
whose position should not be affec

In view of the fact that the most in

comes more manifest that Hancock was

aud Brootlyn. Had those cities given
the mri .ritIes which the party had a

sensible men take at its true value, and
as neither in the CITY Of New York nor
vet in the city of Brooklyn did the
Democratic votes recorded at the polls
for Hancock and English bear their nat
nral and legitimate relations to the
Democratic votes registered before the
election. the Democrats of the Union
cannot be expected to dismiss the ia
tIonal disaster of 1850 without n grand

There is this morning published an

the election, | never believed any
promises we're made then as to the dis
trlbution Of ofices or any subject con

heralded visit was a political necessity,
and therefore it was made. but the rec
oguition which General Grant aud his
friends should have from the admins
tration was probably not discussed
But they ara bslng discussed by the

General Garfield will at a very early
day make it known that he thinks many
OF the subjects lately talked and noted

use of troops. ana the employment OF
Federal Supervisors aud putty mar

the time has come when compete bar

neither man or beast escaping, excepting

and will be preserved conforming as near

struggle. The monument to the heroes
will be unveiled with the usual cere-

gallant soldiers who fell beside the young
