IN" "OUTRAGEn BY YALE SOPHONORES.

New-Haven correspondent who was eye
witness of what the Democrats of that city call a
despicable outrage" one Of their campaign flags
last Saturday night. gives account Of the affair
IN another column. From this it seems that 1t was
nothing more than a students lark and had poiti-
cal significance whatever A parcel Of Sophomores,
engaged in the calm delights of initiating Freshmen
into secret society. esped the balyards of Demo
cratic flag made fast to one Of the windows Of the
hall. To any one who knows the nature and habits
of the Sophomore 1t goes without saying that the
revelation aroused enthusiasm. Had the halya
been attached TO a Republican flag. to President
Porters bell. to Freshman's ear, OF the hind
leg Of mule 1t would have been all the same. 1t
was Oh opportunity for mischiefj and mischief Of q
new variety The yonng men had tossed the Freshmen

tubs and all that sort of thing until that particular
form of deytry had become monotonous aud lost

and 1t at once took hold Of the Sophomore mind like

"OrR PROPERTY IN SL1TES."

"NObody wants or expects such unnatural
"action," wrote General Hancock the other
day upon the possibility Of paying Rebel
claims The Telegraph and Messenger, OF
Macon, Ga, Democratic paper of promi-
ncnce in that State, thinks differently, and
shows frankly, as every reader may see for
himself, in another column, that many people
in the South do want and expect as one item,
payment for their slaves. This paper ex-
presses the hope that :" the value Of our prop
ertv i'm slaves shall be returned to those from
"whom it was unlawfully wrested.' This
nractica suggestion is also made to the
former slave-owners. at will do no
charm to keep this question before the peo-
"ple Hat Mey may preSerre tie records and
proper memoranda Of their former SIares, in
90 the event that n returning sense of justice
Z" on the part of the Federal Government may
compensate them, at least in part, for the
" loss of this portion of their rightiul prop
"erty.n Now this is a Rebel claim which is
barred by the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution, and must be barred so long as
that Amendment remains. The Georgia
editor knows this full we'll. And yet he hopes,
and his constituents hope, that some day,
or by n new construction of it in a Southern
lied Supreme Court, hardly matters fer their
PURPOSES, this enormous claim VIII he paid.
There have been other illustrations OF the
same expectation. There Is section III the
MARYLAND Constitution to-day which regulates
the action of the State in case compensation
is made for the emancipated slaves, and that
constitution, as Mr.. Edward Mcpherson
showed, was adopted after the ratification OF
the Fourteenth Amendment. The article
quoted is not the only expression of the kind
that has come from influential Southern jour
nails.
If all this be true of the claims barred by
the Constitution what must be true of the
claims stacked up in Congress and the Depart
ments, awaiting only the passage of bill
putting the dislOyal claimant, for the sake OF
reconciliation" perhaps on the same level
with the loyal claimant7 That is the only bar
rier. A people who do not allow the Constitu-
ton of the United States to check their aspira-
tons will hardly be held back by single
section in the Revised Statutes if they have
both houses of Congress to pass repeating
bill and Democratic President whose back
bone may not prove any stronger than that
of the last Democratic President was Mean
while let the voter who is asked to favor
ga change for the sake of change" picture
to himself the Georgia Democrat, hearing the
news of Hancocks election, and turning with
sparkling eyes to " tho records and proper
memoranda" of his former property in hu-
man flesh, in the belief that now he may
compel the same people who made Abraham
Lincoln President and put the everlasting z
seal of their approval upon the Emancipation
Proclamation, to pay in money the value of
the emancipated slaves!

d" FOR RETENUE ONLY.f

Not a tariff to protect American industry or
to benefit American labor, but tariff for reve-
nue. only is what the Democrats propose to en-
act if the people put them in power. I he soil
tary purpose of taIif legislation, they say,
should be to obtain money. The principle of
theiI tariff plank is about the same that the old
Yorkshire farmer inculcated in his dying advice
to his son: Sammy" said he to the young
man, get money; get it honestly If you can,
but. Sammy get money" The Democrats are
even worse than the farmer They do not
qualify their declaration. They do not say they
will regard the interests of the manufacturers
and woIkingmen of the country If possible.
They prOI Ose to get money from the custom
houses no matter what may be the consequences.
In former times they we're much more guarded
in their demands for revenue tariff. Thus in
1868 their platform favored "a tariff for reve-
@nue and such equal taxation under the
internal revenue laws as will afford incidental
protection to domestic manufactures" In
1872 they proposed to refer the whole question
of the tariff to the Congressional districts, treat
ing it as a local matter. In 1876 they said that
" all custom house taxation should be fOI reve-
"nue only" thus taking the same ground they
now occupy, but with trick of phraseolOgy
which made the issue little less clear than it
is this year. EmbOldened by the solidity of the
South, they threw of at Cincinnati all pretence
of regard for the welfare of the great army Of
mechanics, artisans. and operatives who gain
o livelihood from protected industries, and de-

formation is afforded that Miss Rose Eytinge
will wear " four superb toilets" 1t is also
stated that - there is not loud
word spoken during the play and this fact alone
should commend it to aifcctionate acceptance as
the most alluring piece OF the season.
