The communication Especial correspon-
dence, in the Chicago Tribune contains
about as many Iibes rs could be conveniently
crowded into the columns Of q newspaper.
The only thing in it that might possibly
be deemed worthy OF notice is the ingenious
allusion TO the refusal OF the Virginia
Senate TO seat certain Maboneites who
were voted for at elections held upon
writs issued by the Governor. And all the
notice this requires is that II our subscriber
had kept up with the record in these cases he
would have been convinced that the course
Of the Senate was constitutional and iusti-
fable. As for the rest, the Tribune letter
is the same old bloody-shirt rigmarole
written to fire the northern heart,
and to answer 1t in detail would be a
waste OF time and expense. Very few
OF the parties who see The charges made
against the South in such papers as the
Tribune ever see denial. 1t is the fixed
and unalterable policy OF that class OF jour-
nails to exclude the truth on this subject
from their columns, well knowing that the
only hope OF their party is to antagonize
The two sections OF the country. Every
,ond:tide settler in the South who comes |
rom the North Is, whether ne be Democrat |
