The presiding judge and the gentlemen who
acted with him yesterday in attempting 70 re
dress what appeared 10 be q deliberate and pub
lie dishonor 70 the flag, are as much delighted
as anyone could be at the published sLatemen Mt
that it was not with such purpose that the flag
was exposed and reverse, but from a thought
less snd Idle spirit Of meTFimeBt We trust
this is true. We were aware that the flag was
mutilated That did not detract
was none the less what the eloquent Webster
calls the gorgeous ensign of our country and
whatever the motive that prompted the perpe-
traitors OF the act or whatever others may
think. there are those who will never behold any
apparent indgnity to the national cOlors with
out most poignant sensibility and most gloomy
forebOdings for tbe careless and unpatriotic
spirit such wanton action inculcates. Ifthere
was ever 8 people whom it behOoved at all
times TO show devotion to the symbols of the
government, law and order it is southern
people. The flag whose mutilated beauties and
whose reversed union was exposed
on yesterday to the contumely and derision of
the passer-by, may tomorrow be the rallyiny
point at which good men and true will assemble
to defend or enforce the Law. to protect wife
and little ones. and all that men hold dear
There is but one solution for all our troubles in
the south, and that is a respect for the Law, its
steady and impartial enforcement, obedience to
the national law, devotion to the flag Of our
country and all the principles of good govern
ment which 1t typihes and represents in the
minds Of all men, II is well TO be sensitive
for the flag. It is well for the youth Of the
country. the rising generation. to be apprssd
us who love it and honor it's stainless glory, and
who will never without protest most vigorous
see it's haowed folds floating in dshonor, be it
