fRIDAY MORNING PEC. 4, 1868.
COW A RDI.V )W IJSTK E.
It is a regular hahit with the Radicals of
the North to ascribe every manifestation of
lawlessness which occurs in the South to the
brutalizing tendency of out social institutions.
There has not been the report of a house
I>urnt or a hen roost robbed between the Poto
mac and the Rio Grande since the surrenderof
the Confederate armies, but that has been seiz
ed upon by the Northern sectional fanatics as
evidence that the people of the South are not
the equals of those of the North in civiliza
tion and morality. The injustice of this judg
ment is manifest to all who possess sufficient
information on the i-uhject to las üble to form
a correct idea in regard to it. If the peculiar
institutions which existed here are chargeable
with the crime which is developed in our sec
tion, by the same process of reasoning the far
greater proportion of crime in the North
should be attributed to the different social sys
tem which prevailed there. This is manifestly
an erroneous system of accounting for social
evils, however, which are incident in common
to all the various systems of associations which
have ever been organized since evil come into
the world.
No plan has ever been invented among men
whereby evils are entirely avoided : hut vari
ous systems of government and social organi
sations more or less perfect, have been tried
in different ages and in various plnces, each of
which has shown its defects in its practical
operation, which have never been perfectly
remedied. That the institutions of the South
w«re free from this universal blight of imper
fection, was never claimed ; hut those who
knew their operation and effects most thor
oughly, and who bail compared our social sys
tem with thoso of other sections and of other
times, were satisfied that in practical benefits
to tha whole population and in actual advanta
ges ■to the world at large, there neveT was n
■system as beneficent as ours.
The terrible bugbear of slavery, by which
the prejudices of the civilized world were
aroused against us, was altogether the best
system for the civilization and elevation of the
barbarians of Africa, which has ever been
known ; and at the same time that our revilers
profess to be horrified at the degrading effects
of our system of slavery they claim that the
negro slaves nro more capable of exercising
the elective franchise than the enlightened im
migrants from Europe. Can the system which
has thus elevated c.mnilial Africans be
indeed so very barbarous after all? Again,
he it remembered that up to the very hour of
secession there were no more gloriously gifted
statesmen known to fame than our Southern
Smaters and Representatives in Congress; no
purer jurists ever wore the judicial ermine
than our Southern country furnished: no
braver warriors ever bore the sword than the
chivalric sons of the South.
Now sine* the records of the courts as well
as the reports of newspapers show more than
double the proportion of crime at the North as
compared with our section, is it not both un
generous and unjust to represent crime at the
South as the effect of our former institutions?
Outrages by the Arkansas Radicals.
A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal,
writing from Arkansas, says, On the 10th ult.,
• body of two hundred men claiming to be a
military force, entered the town of Centre
Point, Sevier county, "and arrested all the
inhabitants, marched into an open field and
placed a guard over them, and then proceeded
to sack the town, after which they left. The
next day the citizens of the adjoining county
flocked into town ; meetings were hold to ex
press the sentiments of the people in regard
to the outrage. While the meeting was pro
gressing the fame men dashed into town and
opened indiscriminate fire upon the assembly,
shooting a number and arresting three of the
oldest and best citizens, named Ileister, An
derson nnd Gilbert. They carried them to a
field and shot them. The Land is still in pos
session of the town.
Eight companies of the 29th infantry left cn
route for the Texas frontier.
The Box—The Truth About It.
Jacobin papers are making very merry over
the recent story in the New- York Tribune re
porting tbe discorcry of a tin box, in possession
of Treasurer Spinner, which was banded him
some time since by Marat Stanton, nnd which,
upon being opened the other day, was foolishly
said to contain the disguise in which Hon. Jef
ferson Davis avaa captured, in the spring of
1865.
This story wifi do to tell, bat there are tacts
which indicate that it is all bosh.
The box in which these clothes were found
was handed to Stanton some time ago, contain'
ing $30,000 in gold, belonging to a quarter
master, and the very next thing known about
it, it is opened and found to contain some old
clo's !
Wonderful transformation!
And those old clothes are said to have been
worn by Hon. Jefferson Davis at the time he
was captured.
Shades of the government widdy! was there
ever such impudence practiced before?
Instead of these being the clothes of Jefferson
Davis, they were the toggery of one Stanton,
who used them as a disguise at the time when
Ad interim Thomas was after him. The cow
ardly villain dare Dot go in the street in shape
to be recognized ; hence he sought to eloak
his £lthv carcass in the raiment of woman.
One night a gentleman of color attempted to
commit an outrage upon tbe poor old woman of
the war office, so Stanton went back alarmed
and disgusted—took erff his feminine clothes—
“ Presto!”
They were snugly ensconced in the mysteri
ous tin box, and the inquiry is now raised:—
‘‘Where are the thirty thousand dollars?”
fN, Y, Democrat.
What arc Von Rejotciiig For f
Satan laughed when the in ;rtul sin of Our
first parents was consummated, and it has al
ways been regarded us one of the must dinboli
cul acts of bis Infernal majesty. \Vc are also
informed that Niro was sunn y over the burn
ing of tl c Capital City of the nation over which
be reigned, and it lias been held up to ported
ty ns tho climux of uiliwsavt cruelty. Os the
same character and equally heartless does it
strike us is the jubilating of our opponents, —
As we ran our eyes nlong their ranks at their
bite torch-light jubilee over the late election
wc saw that they wore composed of men who
must be prosperous or suffer as the country is
or is not prosperous, ami mentally we asked
each one of them “ what arc you rejoicing
about?”
Are you glad that a party has triumphed
whose leaders are pledged to establish the so
cial and political equality of the nogro race in
the land ?
Are you glad that the State and National debt
which has been growing daily, notwithstanding
tho vast ami onerous taxation, is now the larg
est in the world ?
Are you glad that the bondholders (who
from the sadden demand for this kind of secu
rity will soon own most of tho wealth of the
nation) are, by the election of Grant, for four
years more entirely free from all State, County
and local taxes, leaving the whole burden to
rest on you ?
Are you glad that the white men of Pennsyl
vania can put in the United States Senate
only two Senators, while the negroes in the
ten Southern States can and will Bend twenty
Senators to that body ?
Are you happy in the thought that you
may soon see negroes in Congress as you now
sec a negro Lieut. Governor in Louisiana?
Are you glad that the freedmnn’s Bureau,
which costs .000,00(1 a year to support lazv
negroes and Yankee school marine, is to be
kept up while poor white men must work or
starve ?
Are you glad that the standing army which
is eating out your substance is now an estab-.
lished institution in the land?
Are ycu proud that the Executive and Su
premo Court must henceforth be tho mere tools
of a majority in Congress ?
And finally, are you glad to know that after
all the lives that were lost to keep the South in
the Union, and after our victory over those
who tried to leave the Union, the Union armies
foiled, and the rebels triumphed and did get
out, so that it has taken three years to got
them in, and they are not in yet?
Is it for these thing that you rejoice?—
lloncjuiaie Herald.
A clergyman called on a poor parishioner,
whom he found bitterly lamenting the loss of
an only son, a hoy about four or five years
old. In the hope of consoling the nffl'eted
woman, he remarked to her that “one so young
could not have committed any very grievous
sin ; and that, no doubt, the child had gime to
heaven.” “Ah sir,” said the simple-hearted
creature, “but Tommy was so shy—and they
are all strangers there.”
What makes n Free Nation t
Freedom from debt; freedom from pecuniary
embarrassment; ability to pay as you go, and
not less for the government than the citizen.—
The government, which expends more than it
receives, which taxes beyond its ability to pay
which increases in crime, pauperism and gen
eral demoralization, can hardly be called freo.
Nor can that be practically a republic, which
ignores self-govenrment, establishes military
dictators, takes from the people the control of
suffrage, denies the ballot to its white citizens
and puts it into the hands of the ignorant
negroes. The less coercive a government, the
most freedom and the highest order generally,
the greatest prosperity and the noblest peace.
When Congress restores to the Stntes the pow
ers whicli belong to the States, and to tho Ex
ecutive nnd Judiciary the powers which the con
stitution places with them, the greater will be
the freedom and happiness of the pooplo.
In Lancashire, England, hoys go to work in

A Schenxctadv Genius.—A saloon-keeper
of Schenectady, who has been greatly annoyed
by persons who sit about in chairs to sleep off
the effects of bad whisky, has caught and
tamed a number of rats, nnd trained them to
run across the floor. A sitter wakes up and
sees rats running, and calls attention to the
fact. This frightens the man, who thinks he
has got the tremens, and he quickly disappears
from the scene.

1 i .oi tho New Vm-It Democrat.
Diafrtmchi-cnient.
West Virginia—violently nnd unconstitu
tionally torn from the old mother State during
the war, and setting up a State government
while bayonets ruled, and by their agency nnd
support —now vo 'on tho Jacobin ticket only in
consequence of a sweeping disfranchisement
of white citizens, adopted while a hollow
square and a discharge of musketry from a
platoon of blue coats, or an application of cold
steel, were the arguments and processes by
which States were diwwcaibcrcd and opposition
silenced.
To illustrate the extent of this disfranchise
ment, we cite two or three instances. In
Charlestown, which formerly polled over five
hundred votes, this year there are hut fifteen
names on the registry. Attheeounty scat of
Greenbrier, with a population of twelve hun
dred, there are only eight voters. In the
county there arc fuirtccn hundred disfran
chised men, comprising, as is said, the wealth
intelligence, public spirit, and moral worth of
Giecnbrier.
The despotism thus established in West
Virginia is depicted in the following burning
words by the Greenbrier Independent:
In West Virginia there arc not less than
25,000 men who can not hold any office, sit oil
a jury, or teach a public school.
In West Virginia there are not less than
25.000 men who can not obtain judgment on
old debts duo them, or enforce contracts.
In AVest A irgima the taxes for county and
township purposes arc eight times heavier than
they were before the war.
In West Virginia we have fiyc paid officers
now for one before the war.
In AVest A irginia the salaries of county offi
cers are double, and some of them treble, of
what they were before the war.
In ATrginia, especially in the border
counties, the offices are, with few exceptions,
filled by the most ignorant and vicious of the
population.
In AVest Virginia three men in each county,
known as the County' Board of Registration,
are actually licensed by an act of the Legisla
ture to enter on record that their fellow-citizens
arc perjurers!
In West Virginia the County Board of Reg
istration have entire control of every office in
the State. 'I he Board of Registration of Ohio
county can unseat Governor Boremanhy mere
ly scratching his name from the list of regis
tered voters. The Board of Registration of
Monroe county can uni eat Judge Nat. Harri
son in the same way. No man can hold office
unless he is a voter. No man can he a voter
unless he is registered. No man can register,
or remain registered, without the consent of
tho County Boards of Registration. Scratch
Bore-man's name or Harrison's name from the
registry, and the sceptre of power drops from
their nerveless grasp.
ltid such a state of things ever before exist
in any eiviiizcd community ? Has as mean,
contemptible, sneaking, cowardly, brutal a des
potism as that of West A irginia ever before
rejoiced the hearts of devils, or called for the
avenging bolts of heaven?
“Mountaineers always Croc!” Oh, what a
mockery of a noble sentiment ! AVhat a bra
zen-faced lie ! There is no freedom in these
mountains, except the freedom of ignorance
and villainy to lord it over intelligence and
honesty.
The Model Republic Abroad.
The overthrow of tho Republic and theercc
tion of the Congressional usurpation, soon to
he followed by a military despotism, have been
heralded a- a grand achievement of Liberty.
These representations, howe 'er false, have not
been without effect upon the public mind of
Europe. Having no other sources of informa
tion, the people very naturally took for fact
what was not contradicted. But truth, which
moves slowly, is beginning at last to be heard.
AVe have an evidence of this in tha appreciation
of the American situation by one of the ablest
of tho Paris papers —the Constilutionnel. We
translate a few paragraphs, which show the
spirit of the whole, and prove that Radical
knavery and falsehood are being understood in
France. — Sav. Morning Mars.
“ Between Republicans and Democrats, what
is the difference? The Republicans of Amer
ica, like the Republicans of Europe, arc despots,
who will not endure the existence of any lib
erty. AVhat they want is a vigorous centrali
zation, which subjects to tho despotism of Con
gress the whole territory of the Republic.—
What they especially desire is the ruin of the
Southern States, whose insurrection they can
never pardon. At present they are striving to
deliver these States over to the dominion of the
blacks.
Tiro principle of the Democrats, on the con
trary, is the Constitution, as AVashington loft
it. States under certain limitations, of which
the President and Congress have the guardian
ship, with this exception each State is sorer
eign within itself, and consequently free to
regulate its own domestic administration.
General Grant is not a Radical, but it is dif
ficult to foresee what policy lie will pursuo. llis
election proves only one thing—that a majori
ty of the Americans are opposed to the sover
eignty of the States. As to the rest, we must
await his acts. As he is not animated against
the South with the implacable hate of the Radi
cals, one may hope that be will use the means
which the Constitution gives him to protect the
oppressed and reconstruct tho Union. A diffi
cult work, which every day becomes more dif
ficult. The Republican scheme can only end
in establishing in American Poland or an Ire
land—a hundred times more miserable than
uie Ireland under the yoke of England—a
hundrod times more oppressed than the Poland
under the knout of Russia. The most unfor
tunate people of the earth are the people of the
Southern States. The worst of all despotisms
is that exercised in the name of Liberty.”

.'lini-ter Wuidiburnc.
The conduct of this Mini-ter in Hilmitting
to the arrest of two of the attacheo* of his
Legation by the halt civilized millions of
Lopez, has been severely criticised by several
papers, and here is his explanation. He
“Mv diplomatic powers had been surren
dered, and 1 could not resume them, 1 had no
longer houM\ nor home, nor protection. 1
could have surrendered my family unprotected,
and put them on the Paraguayan steamer, the
Rio Ana, and cou!d have given myself up to
the ruffians who had seized the members of n;y
legation and been carried into captivity, where
I could tell no tales, and could not advise my
government and the world of the atrocities
and barbarities of Lopez,
To have thus surrendered myself, instead of
hastening to a point where I could communis
cate with my Government, and de nil in my
power to rescue my unfortunate friends from
the clutches of a wild beast at the earliest
moment, I should have been justly censured
by the civilized world. I therefore embarked
on the Wasp, and wc hastened down the
river.
I am remaining here to sec what can he
done to save the persons seized by Lopez. No
effort of mine has been or will be spared to
rescue the unfortunate men who were torn
from me under circumstances of such peculiar
atrocity. For them I kept myself in the pow
er and endured tho hostility of the worst liv
ing man ; for them I mostchcerfully sacrificed
health, comfort, and fortune, and endured per
secution and insult. I did all that was in my
power to do. My house was crowded with fu
gitives, and I shared with them all I had and
in all the horrors of the situation. All parted
from ine with the deepest feelings of gratitude.
Had the AA'asp been at Asuncion when Bliss
and Masterton were seized by an overpowering
force, nnd dragged away lrom mo while on
my way to tho steamer, I am certain that
Captain Kirkland would have promptly re
sponded to my request and opened on tho
town, hut, as you are aware, Lopez had kept
her below the fortifications, a league below
Asuncion, in order to have me at a disadvan
tage. Os course, in the street, with my wife
and child, I could offer no resistance to that
outrage upon my flag.”

The Fruits of Civil War.
The increase of licentiousness in this c-un
tiy is pronounced before the Scientific Con
gress to be very great, and the late civil war
pronounced to be the most prolific cause of
this. The clergy and boasted philanthropists
who believe in war and who are ready to get
up another, if need be, in vindication of their
extreme opinions, will please take notice.—
Preaching politics in the pulpit also has driv
en the people beyond the good influences of
religion, and in turn into the vortex of the
world. The most popular social education for
some years, both from the pulpit and forum,
has been the law of personal, social, and sec
tional hate, and the wonder is, with so many
Radical preachers and teachers, immorality i*
not even gronterjthan we see it.
But there are greater evils from war than
personal licentiousness and political demorali
zation. Our recent civil war has changed our
Federal and if not in letter, what
is a groat deal w rse, in its spirit. Part of
this, perhaps, crew out of tho necessities of
the hour hut more from the innovations upon
constitutional liberty, which are the natural
products of war. Thus we saw the Supreme
Court recognize the South as a belligerent
power, and then we wore quite ready to quar
rel with England for following our example.
We also hasten to recognize a revolution in
Spain, when wc were so fierce to frown upon
all powers which dared to recognize a revolu
tion at home. The Czar ol all the Russia
becomes the source of our profoundest admi
ration, thou i'll this same Czar is the head and
front of the worst despotism in tho old world.
AA'ar not only blinds men to all consistency and
all decency, but seems to root out all that is
moral in principle and conservative in charac
ter. The exceptions only prove the rule.—

The Loaded Dice.
If Gen. Gvnnt lias that respect for “the will
of the people" which he expresses in his letter
accepting the Chicago nomination, it will
scarcely be satisfactory to him to know, as he
must know, that he is not the choice of the
people of the United States as their President.
If the electoral vote were justly counted it
would stand as follows :

AA'hole number electoral votes 317
On the popular vote as it is, or was permit
ted, Grant has a majority of only about 300,-
000, and, to secure this, a Radical Congress
bv force prevented three States, sure for Sey
mour, from voting, disfranchising more that
500,000 Democrats in all tho Southern States,
and enfranchising 751,000 negroes fresh from
slavery and the swamps.— World.

One vote and a contrary pig were the means
of the declaration of the war of 1812, with
Great Britain. Two neighbors, having adjoin
ing farms in Rhode Island, got into a dispute
about the depredations of a pig belonging to
one of them. They went to law about it, and
on the day a United States Senator was to be
elected by the Legislature they were obliged
to attend court, One of them was a member
of the Assembly, a Hartford conventionist, and
opposed to the war. Ilis vote would have
elected an anti-war Senator, but in consequence
of bis absence a war man was chosen, and war
was deelarcd by one majority in tho Senate.
It is further related that this member was
himself elected by one vote,

It is stated at Revenue headquarters that an
