A CELEBRATED REG1MENT.-The Black
Watch, mentioned so frequently in dis
patches from Suakim as having borne the
brunt of Gen. Grahaln's last engagement, is
the name given to the Forty. Second Regi-
ment, Highlanders. Into this regiment
were enrolled, in 1887, the ompanies,
dressed in black or dark tartans, that had
watched the Highlands during the war for
the restoration of the Stuarts. Nearly all
of the older regiments of the British army
have familiar names derived from some fea-
ture of their uniform and sometimes from
some incident in their history.-PhU. Times.

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH %.

THE SOFT impeachment of the Richmond
Dispatch respecting the GAZETTE's igno-
rance of the unorthodox doxy of Mr. Joseph
Cook, is, perhaps, we'll deserved. we dio
not wish to give his infdel enemies any
advantage over the champion OF Bible Cnrls-
tianity,-hence we honored Mr.. Cook, more
than he deserved, in speaking OF him as a
defender OF the true faith" 1t was the recol-
lection of his earlier utterances that dlreclea
our thought and guided our pen. We mad not
seen Mr.. Cooks eulogy on Wendell Phillips
when we placed him among the defenders
of the true faith" We have, since then.
read some of his later utterances "eagree
with the Dispatch. Wendell Phillips, Car
risou. Summer aud Lincoln are now all to-
pether in heaven, according to Mr.. COOK,
not because they were redeemed, but be-
cause. while they lived, they hated the
South and her institutions. For man 10
fph against the South and hate her people
and her institutions while he lives, is, with
Mr.. Cook, passport to heaven when he
dies. He says wendell Phillips is in COM
pany with Arisides and Scipio and theRoman
Gracchi and of all the past martyrs,
who, ia every aye have laid down their
lives that the darkness of the ages might be
a little lighteued" Infidels and pagans are
all in Mr.. Cooks heaven, because the for
mer have TRADED and crusaded against the
white men of the South, and the latter, in
the ages past, have, in the magma
ton of Mr.. Cook. done something for hu-
mainly parallel to the work OF his Boston
pets. Truly this is the New Theology"
The Boston audience appiauded him for
this and then went away when he commenc-
ed TO teach them theology. We are very
much afraid that Mr. Cook will not stand
for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, if his adherents and applaud
ers fall away from him. We thank the
Dispatch for its gentle remoustrance. We
shall keep better posted hereafter and shall
not agaiu compromise the true defenders of
the true faith by placing the name Of Joseph
Cook among the number unless he repents
of recent utterances and is more truthful
in his statements about the South and her

THE protectionists derive their chief sup
port from the working men. And yet if
any working man will compare the pur-
chasing power of a dollar now with what it
was when the tariff was low, and then COM
pare his wages now with what they were
then, he will have realizing sense of the
fact that whoever the protective tariff may
protect, if it really protects anybody, it
certainly doesn't protect him.

Then, too the Mahoneites, applaud the
Brethren for mauifesting their resentment
of the imputation of even holding lad

equality with the race from whom they, the
Mahoneites, derive their entire effective
strength. But the Mahoneites put the right
estimate upon the understanding Of the
negroes, and therefore never think it worth
while to attempt to influence them by rea-
son and common sense. If the negroes un-
derstood human nature as we'll as white
men do General Malone would still be

they are not silly enough to allow the tariff

In HIS speech on the tariff in the United
States House of Representatives, the other
day, Mr.. Cox said
Year after year, with few spasmodic
executions. the condition Of labor in the
Quilted States has been growing worse. 1t
is harder for the maintenance of families
since high tariff legislation has been in
force. The employers have been growing
rich, the aborers poorer. There has never
in our industrial progress as nation been
a time when the producing lahorers in our
mills, shops and factories more required
protection from tariff robbery, which fosters
monopoly, than the present"
And every working man old enough to
remember the cost of living during the eX-
istence of low tariff before the war, and
sensible enough to draw a comparison be-
tween then and now will sustain every
word Mr.. Cox uttered 1t has been the
high tariff which, by protecting the rich
manufacturers, has enabled a few OF them to
monopolze the whole business, aud destroy
that which once existed in every city and
town throughout the country. To bring the
matter home it is only necessary to allude
to the fact that Alexandria, during the low
tariff, had her shoe, hat, cotton, iron, brass,
furniture, and numerous other factories all
in active aud profitable operation, and Civ
ing employment to her home people; but the
high tariff made the profits so great that
active competition was set on foot, and the
rich manufacturers Of the North, by combin
ing their capital soon got the whole business
into their own hands, and now demand
what they please for their products, while
the meu who once carried on trades in the
villages and towns OF the country, and sup
piled the local demand, have been forced to
abandon their business and seek other en-
