;. WAR HORSE" LONGsTREET.

1t is known that Gen. Longstreet,
was during the war, called war
Horse" This has . complimentary
sound. A friend writing the SPECTA-
TOR, however, says: Instead OF the
term War Horse as applied to Long
street being a compliment, 1 have
always believed that it was a bit of
sarcasm on the part of Mars Robert
(Gen. Lee), who. knowing that while q
war horse is valuable on account of
it's endurance and steadiness under
fire, it is only useful when controlled
by the intelligence of its rider, and for
this reason Gen. Lee always selected a
soldier for detached duty and kept
this War Horse close by his side, ex-
cept when he made the mistake of
sending the 25th corps under the War
Horse to Tennessee. There Is, though,
one notable instance when this War
Horse did move with celebrity when
detached and that was when he asked
for the cate in the Republican trough.
and distanced the White League in the
race out ofNew Orleans. ;"

THE REINFORCEMENT BILL.

The rsapportionment bill seems
likely to bring on another war. The
remains Of poor old Parson Lovejoy,
have been, and We suppose those Of
his saintliness, old John Brown, will
be disturbed in their resting places.
The negro IL the cause, and the hope
of party advantage the effect sought.
1t is proposed to declare that all the
Southern States abridge the right of
suffrage, and in proportion as it is
or as it suits the Republican
the representation there will
be cut down. AS only Massachusetts,
Connecticut and one or two Northern
States have educational tests, they will
be sacrificed in order to do for the
South what four years war did not
do, viz: humiliate and belittle her. If
such methods are followed, the negro
who now has the same opportunity to
get an education as white person,
will likely suffer in that respect, as the
ions to educate him will
surely be lessened. The negro could
emigrate of course, but when he goes
north he finds such inhospitable treat
ment and renewed chances of being
lynched, that he prefers to know less
and live longer, so he stays where he
is. The old war feeling is surely being
stirred by this bill as no bill has stirred
it before, and We hope the South will
insist on her rights let come what will.
The day is past when she can be bull
dOsed.

THE WASHINGTON POST ALMANAC.


The Washington Post, which is one
of the best newspapers that comes to
our city, has this year, in accordance
with previous custom, published an
Almanac and Encyclopedia, a copy
of which it has kindly furnished us.
The book is a marvel of facts and fig
ures, collated in a manner which can
not fail to be of great use to the public,
because OF their peculiar pertinence to
matters entering into the business OF
our every day life, and because of the
systematic and careful compilation
and arrangement of the whole. The
word almanac is far too circumscribsd
to convey any meaning of what this
work contains, SO its editors have add
ed the word Encyclopedia, which fur.
pishes a name and idea entirely con.
sistent with the scope and character
of the work. 1t is but another evi.
dence OF what is not only being under.
taken, but accomplished by great
