The Bourbon Democracy are about to I'M
dcrtakc a piece of grand strategy. They are
going To set IN uncOmmonly cunning and in
,cniously devised trap for the Republicans,
and for fear the latter may hot find II in time
10 walk into it they announce 1t beforehand.
IL is one of the pcculiarities of their strategy
TO give public notice of it. one reason for
this, we presume, is that in the excess of
their delight over the ingenuity of the
scheme thcy are unable 10 keep it to them
selves, and another is that there may be no
doubt in the public mind after the trap Is
sprung that il WAS really intended rs a trap,
and was arranged with dclbcration ana fore
thought. Having become cnamorcd OF the
business Of trap-scttng during the war, they
have never fairly gotten over it. One of
the great traps they set during the war,
WAS that by which they inyeiglcd Sher-
man to let go of his base at At
lauta and swing off through Georgia to the
sea. By reason of certain accidents recorded
in tho history of the period the trap when
sprung, caught the inventors instead of Sher-
man; but the former took great comfort for
long time in dilating upon what might have
hammered if the unexpected had not occurred.
On a smaller scale, they have been more or less
in the trap-sctting line, the dcvIsing OF strate-
pirs. ever since. Through the two or three ses-
sions of Congress in which an inscrutabe
Providence permitted them to have control,
they devoted almost their entire time to set
ting traps to catch their opponents. These
were investigating traps, and there never was
one sprung during the time they were at work
with them that the country did not burst into
- 4 70, mi E,ys
never one sprung that it did not catch
Democrat.
Grand strategy seems to be their especial
forte. The present proposition relates to the
opproaching session of Congress- and its object
is 10 check the rising tide Of Liberalism at the
South, and make an end of Republican pro-
yress in that direction. 1t is felt that Bourbon
ascendancy in the Solid South is endangered
by the tendency Of the young and
progressive white men Of the South
to abandon the Democracy and cast
in their lot with the Anti-Bourbons and Re-
publicans. To check this movement it is
necessary to awaken the old animosties and
rekindle the differences on the color question
which seem in danger Of dying out Hence,
the plan is to draw the Republican Congress-
men into partisan debates on the old
ISSUES of injustice and outrage toward the
blacks, and by exciting the old preiu-
dice5 and passions on the part of the Southern
whites keep them within the Bourbon lines,
and maintain the solidity of the South. AS
usual, the righteousness of the device so
delights their fancy that they proceed immedi-
ately to make it public, and get up a
kind of wac dance over their confident antic-
pations of Success 1t is the popularity of
these people that they celebrate what
they hope to do with just as much enthusiasm
rs though they had done it. They do their
iubilatinus before election. They are SO ticlled

with the way they are going to do Things tha'
they cannot wait until the things are done De-
fore beginning their demonstrations OF delight:
And perhaps it is Just as well so. They would
be very melancholy lot if they had to post
pone their rejOicings till they had somethlhs
tangible to be glad of.
The piece of grand strategy now announced
to be in contemplation is, like all the rest OF
their movements, very, very cunning. There
is only one thing that now occurs to us that
stands in the way of its success. That is the
matter of temper. In order to spring this trap
it is necessary that the Bourbon inventors OF
it should be always perfectly cool, self
possessed and even-tempered, and that
they should, by their GOODNESS, self-pos-
session and equanimity, so exasperate
their Republican opponents that the lat
ter will break into passionate outbursts
against the Southern people, compelling the
revival of sectional bitterness and renewal OF
sectional strife. To make it success it is re-
quired that the Bourbon should keep his tenn
per- and the Republican fly into passion.
And the trouble is that this is precisely what
neither will do. 1t is the Republican who al
ways keeps cool; the Bourbon Demo
crat who, upon the slightest provocation,
loses his temper and self-contrOl. When
this happens, as hardly needs to be
pointed out, the trap shas sprung on the in
ventOr, and the grand strategy has ended, as
usual, with the capture of the strategists. Still
it is pretty scheme as it stands, very
pretty scheme. Now that it has been adver-
tised we shall be impatient until it gets under
way. We can imagine nothing funnier unless
it be a man with pocket full of loose powder
drawing matches on the seat of his trousers to
set fire to an iceberg.
