IMPERIALISM AGAIN.
Tlie last number of the Imperialist is not
so brilliant nor yet so full of pith as its
predecessor, but even the dullness of the
times and the sultriness of the weather fail
to utterly impair its natural vigor and sub
lime assertions of audacity. Knowing full
well how important a part woman plays in
the affairs of men, the Imperialist leads off
with an article on female suffrage which
has some rare truths ingeniously applied
to the peculiar wants of empire. It is con
ceded that women have been almost forced
to put in a claim for franchise when fran
chise has been so frightfully degraded by
those who claim par excellence to be the
lords of the creation. When ignorant anil
barbarous negroes are permitted to have
an important part in ruling the country, it
would ben miracle indeed if protests of
some kind did not arise from the ranks of
white females of intellect, culture and—fa
naticism. There is something in the ap
peal of the women that is touching and
more that is sad. Touching, because it is
a passionate request to be allowed at least
equal political privileges with an inferior
and servile race; sad, because it is to some
extent an unsexing of woman compelled
by the mad and brutal designs of lunatic
men, whom God, for some inscrutable pur
pose, has permitted to rule apd ruin this
once glorious country. The'' Imperialist ,
very properly we think, condemns this
movement of the women but has much to
say in extenuation of it. It is shown that
a grant of suffrage will never cure the ills
they complain of; that an attempt to rule
men must end in their being pushed aside
and trampled under foot. In this dire ex
tremity, the tempter whispers into the ear
of woman that the establishingpt of empire
will be her best safe-guard, any other vain
quixotism ending in discomfiture and de
feat. We do not echo this thought. Rather
would we ask of the mothers and daugh
ters of the land to labor for the restoration
of those ancient principles of Republican
ism which though imperilled are not yet
hopelessly lost.
The most notable article in this number
of the Imperialist is in direct reference to
General Robert E. Lee. The men who
conduct this journal of empire know full
well that their work is comparatively a
failure without some co-operation in the
South. We have been authentically in
formed that certain of the more conspicu
ous of Confederate leaders had already
been approached on the subject of empire
by secret emissaries, but this is the first
bold and public bid that we have seen.
The Imperialist acknowledges Lee as a
grand representative man, a great captain,
and one eminently wo{thy, of tine admira
tion of his enemies as well as of Jus friends.
It goes on to show that such men as Lee,
having exhausted all means to save
Republican liberty, are ready to accept the
inevitable future which such a r failure pre
cedes. We quote:
“Ip ponderiug the great events in which
they haA r e been partakers, such men must
at times be struck with the vast difference
between that which they attempted and
that tyliich they accomplished; they at
tempted simply to divide the Union, and
they determined the fact that a Republic
was no longer possible in America; refus
ing longer to be governed by the Constitu
tion, they enabled the country and the
world to see that Jigs Constitution ito long
er gummed fcbythingj'in defeqdirik a State
Rights,'’ they secured* the abolition of even
State Tines, and they may now, as they
consult together over the past and the fu
ture, say to one another, ‘we indeed fail
ed, but a great work has been done, never
theless. Let us wait.’ ”
We do not believe this of other Confed
erate officers and much, lens of Robert E.
Lee. If there is to be a struggle for Con
stitutional liberty against imperialism, he
will not be on the side of the latter faction.
If there shall be no struggle of the kind
and empire should come as a necessary se
quence, Robert E. Lee may still remain si
lent, for his cause wil 1 be justified in the very
self abasement of his former antagonists.
Those who count on the famous Confed
erate leader as dazzled by the gilt bauble of
sham imperialism are doomed to certain
disappointment.
The Imperialist is more at home when it
suggests to the veterans of the Federal
army corps that with the new empire will
come anew Legion of Honor. These gim
cracks may amuse the boys in blue; we
fancy they have very little value, coming
from such a dishonored source, for those
boys in gray who fought for principle and
not for pay.
The people are quietly tohl to look to the
rise in gold. Gen. Grant was promised as
a reformer of this thing, but he has ignoini
niously failed. “ Gold,” says the Imperi
alist, “would not rise day by day if the
President were really the government.”
This is nonsense. Loois Napoleon is very
much of a master, but he cannot control
the • gold- market. If men want a real
monarch let them build a Golden Calf and
vitalize it. These is no potentate like gold.
That is alreadytlie lord of all.
Spain’s abortive attempt, to form a Re
public comes in for a neat Jolt of satire.
America is urged to profit by the example.
Here is the temptation offered the South :
“ The South has but little love for the
present government, nor have the events of
the - past few years been calculated to foster
an affection that had but a feeble life at
best. Under the new Empire, the strife
and contention of past times will be for
gotten, and the nation may once more
unite in supporting a strong central power
that shall exteud its protection alike to
the South and the North, the West and the
East. Sectional differences can no longer
exist, for a common cause will demand the
support of the people. No arrogant
Congress can then exclude whom it
will from representation in the coun
cils of the nation, or force on the
the unwilling acceptance of a free people
the cause of social disorganization in the
compulsory recognition of an equality of
races that does not, can not, and should
not exist. ‘ The Empire is Peaceand if
the unhappy people of the South would en
joy the blessings that can only follow such
a peace as the Empire can give them, let
them heartily unite with their friends at
the North, the East, and the West, in over
throwing, forever, our present mockery of
government, and in establishing in its place
the firm and intelligent central authority
that can alone secure to us our rights as
individuals and our liberties as a people.”
The ex-Confederates will rather remain
passive and devote their time to money
making. The East and West must carve
out their own destinies as the dependencies
of an empire. The South can "do nothing,
as the case stands, to prevent this con
summation ; she will continue to remain
neutral and leave the responsibility where
it properly belongs. To overthow the
“ Arrogant Congress” she will lend what
ever aid she can ; the task of establishing a
monarchy on the ruins of Congress she
leaves to other parties.
Here is something exceedingly well put:
“ The patriots of the Revolution went to
■rfmr with Great Britain chiefly to avoid the
payment of taxes in the shape of stamp
duties. They unwisely esliblished a Re
public, and, as a result, their descendant*
pay double the amount of taxes thas jihi#;
would be required to pay Were f|iey still
subjects to the British crown.”
A better way for the tax-ridden ffcople
to ease off their burdens would be to repu
diate the taxes altogether.. Empire will
consolidate taxes; revolution will annihi
late such as already exist.
A fine point is made on Radical sporting
fraternity thus:
“That intensely Red Republican sheet,
Wilkes' Spirit of tlie Times , scouts at the
theory that all men are not born equal.
Nevertheless it devotes whole pages to the
pedigree of race horses. Bipod, it seems,
will tell in horses, but not in men. Whether
Mr. Wilkes is descended from a k™g or a
cobbler is, in his opinion, a matter of no
consequence; but it is vastly important
that his horse should trace his origin to
some equine aristocrat.”
The reason of this is that horses cannot
well be turned into voters although they
have been transformed into consuls. At
heart, Geo. Wilkes and his crew are
thorough-paced aristocrats. They liato
negroes like poison but think they can use
them for the detriment of others without
hurting themselves. That remains to be
seen.
Os all the productions of the Imperialist
this is fullest Os significance :
“ The Grand Army of the Republic has
just held its annual convention, apd is more
prosperous than ever.' The public has no
true idea of the immense power which this
organization could wield should its services
be called for. It is a disciplined army four
hundred thousand strong, and nine-tenths
of its members are veteran soldiers. This
silent, unnoticed armv garrisons the entire
North. It can take the field at an hour’s
notice, and what possible force could be
raised to resist it, should the ‘ long roll’
once be beaten from Maine to Minnesota ?”
Suppose Grant to lie in favor of impe
rialism ; suppose the regular army and
navy, inspired by similar motives, as they
no doubt are by profession and training,
what can stand against the Grand Army
of the Republic, organized and drilled, sup
ported by the Executive and his minions ?
Here is the tremendous issue. While Loy
al Leagues, “ Grand Armies,” and such ca
bals, are ready, with arms in their hands,
to - coalesce with the Federal soldiery and
marine to consummate imperialism, what
are the friends of Republican liberty doing
to counteract such evil designs? Abso
lutely nothing. Without ai'ms, without
organization, without fortitude, they stu
pidly gaze upon the preparations to ensnare
them, and make no signs of resistance. By
a continuance of such folly, we not only
apprehend the final fruition of the Impe
rialist conspiracy, but expect it to be as
bloodless and as signal as the emvp d'etat of
Louis Napoleon. If the honest-hearted
masses desire to avoid falling under a
sceptre, virtually so if not'nominally, they
cannot too soon reform their ranks and
have the proper implements of resistance
ready. Continuing as they are, they will
have no more power to beat back Impe
rialism than a flock of sheep or a battalion
of babes. ,
Imperialism. —The Army aiul Navy Jour
nal calls the Pacific Railroad “ Our Mili
tary Highway.”
The great Roman roads were built In or
der to facilitate the march of the legions
toward the provinces. The Pacific Rail
road, we suppose, is a similar mode of keep
ing California under the Government thumb.
[ From the New York World.
Our New Minister to Spain.
v\xrtfT, k. sroar.Ks/ 4
The appointment by President Grant of
Daniel E. Sickles as Minister to Spain, vice
John P. Hale, resigned, lias occasioned so
much comment that we print below a
sketch of certain portions of his career that
have from time to time been brought to
public notice :
Daniel- E. Sickles was born in this city in
October, 1821. When he was old enough
to be put to some useful employment, he
was taught the printer’s trade, which he
followed for several years. As he emerged
.from boyhood he took part In ward politics,
and soon became notorious in all the mys
teries of ballot box stuffing, rumiuig prima
ries, and manipulating voters at the polls.
His manner of life brought him into several
damaging scrapes. In 1887 he was indict
ed in the Court of Sessions in this city on a
charge of false pretences, but the matter
was hushed up, through political influence.
A few years later he was arraigned before
the same court, and compelled to pay over
certain misappropriated funds to one Moore,
who appeared as plaintiff. In December,
1846, he was indicted by the grand jury on
a charge of grand larceny. The offense
charged against him was that hejiad taken
a mortgage, entrusted to his care in his
father’s office for delivery to Kemble & Cos.,
and sold it, appropriating the money to his
own use. He was tried for the offense and
acquitted on the plea of the statute of limi
tations.
In the meantime, Sickles had studied law
and had received admission to the bar in
1843. His activity in local politics was re
warded by the nomination for the State
Assembly, in 1847, and this was followed
by his election. At this time lie was, living
with Fauny White, the keeper of a noto
rious house of prostitution in Mehcer street,
and it was the current belief tjiat she sup
ported him with the wages of her shame.
A curious incident took place which brought
his name before the public in no enviable
light. There was a milk bill which was
due atthebagnioof Fanny White, aud early
one morning, when the milkman called for
payjnent, Sickles’ mistreSs took the money
from his pocket, and gave it to a servant
girl to settle claim. The money proved to
lie counterfeit, and the servant girl was ar
rested, and on the trial all the facts came
out.
During the session of the Legislature,
Bickles took Fanny White to Albany and
introduced her in the Assembly Chamber.
This scandalous conduct created a good
deal of indignation, and the House, by a
vote, passed a censure upon the act.
In 1852 there was a bitter fight in this
city over the office of corporation council,
Robert J. Dillon and Nelson J. Waterbury
being the opposing candidates. The friends
of Waterbury prepared a circular address
ed to voters, which was enclosed with a
ballot in an envelope, and taken to the
Broadway Post Office for delivery. Sickles
belonged to the opposing faction, and,
when he got wind of this, gathered his
roughs alxiut him, and with several car
riages drove to the post Office. He charged
the building, captured it,.and tearing open
the mail bags carried, off the obnoxious
documents.' He was arrested’ upon charge
of robbing the mails, but, as ns pal, the
matter was hushed up and never came to
trial.
In 1856 Sickles was elected to tlis State
Senate. He took a conspicuous part in
that body in fighting the Albany, bridge
bill, and also in defending the Trinity
Church corporation in the contest over
their property. The statement has been
made that he received SIO,OOO in each of
these cases for his influence. At any rate,
he was living the following year at the rate
of $30,000 per annum, which was a re
markable changd for one who had been
comparatively poor but a short time before.
His Senatorial career was cut short by
his nomination by the President as Secre
tary of Legation to London. It is under
stood that Mr. Buchanan, then Minister to
England, solicited this appointment, and it
was made against the protest of Mr. Marcy,
the Secretary of State, who, as an old New
Yorker, had had occasion to know a great
deal about the appointee. The new Secre
tary of Legation carried his characteristic
failings with him to England, much to the
annoyance of his chief. He borrowed money
freely, and in return gave drafts on the
United States Treasury. The Secretary of
the Treasury at the time, Mr. Guthrie, re-
N «
fused to honor these drafts, and when
at last Mr. Bunjp.nafr was send
Sickels home, tne aKappolnted editors,
among whom were some Iprd lings &M men
of-fashion, |olk>wed. kimJimd in rMii im
portuned hiiu for payment
Upon reaching NewAqjk jjapi his
foreign exploits,Sickles Ato
politics. He procured the nomination and
election to Congress from one of the lower
districts of this city. His opponent con
tested the seat, aud it was charged in the
PhWift-prints ttafct Sickles,. UapoGatLyoters
from Brooklyn, and affidavits to that effect
were printed. He was distinguished* for
nothing during Ms first term, save the ex
pression Qf ...Ultra DtQjSoutlieru and pro
slavery sentiments, all of which he re
pudiated when the Avar opened a better
chance in another direction. He was re
elected to Congress in lHr>B,,»od it was
during'the latter part*of this! term that he
became an actor in the most terrible and
disgusting tragedy that has* stained the an
nals of the national capital.
The circumstances of this affair, as ap
peared upon the trial, Avere these: Mrs.
Sickles, who Avas the daughter,of a Ayoman
with whom it was alleged Sickles had once
maintained a criminal connection, resided
with her husband in Washington. There,
through an introduction by her husband,
she became acquainted with Philip Barton
Key, a gentleman of culture and address,
avlio became a frequent visitor to Sickles’
house, and the acquaintanceship Avith Mrs.
Sickles eventually ripened into criminality.
It is said that Sickles knew or suspected of
this intimacy. At any rate, it Avas the
common talk in the city long before he took
measures to avenge his “ dishonored bed.”
Au anonymous letter addressed to him,
with details of Mrs. Sickles’ Crime, roused
him to action. It appears that eighteen
hours after the receipt of this note, and
Avhen, as the prosecution afterwards con
tended, he had had ample time to cool off
from the effects of the dreadful disclosure,
he sallied out with a friend, and finding
Key at the corner of Lafayette Place, near
tlie Club House, slaughtered him Avhere he
stood. This was on a. Sabbath afternoon,
as Key was bn his way home from church.
Sickles shot him with a revolver in the
groin. The Avounded man took refuge be
hind a tree, crying otft, “ Don’t shoot me,”
“ Don’t murder me.” Sickles folloAved him
up and shot him again. He fell to the side-
Avalk, and for a moment rested his head on
his arm. Sickles then stood over him and
shot him in the breast. Just then Butter-
Avorth came up, and touching Sickles on
the shoulder, advised him to desist. Sickles
took his friend’s arm, and the twain walked
away. The murderer exhibited tlie utmost
coolness during the entire affair. Key never
spoke after the" third shot. He Avas taken
into the Club House and expired in a few
moments.
The murder took place February 28,1850,
and the trial caiue off iu the following
April—just ten. years ago. It lasted from
the 4th to the 26th, and created great ex
citement both in Washington and, yu'ougli
out the country. A great array of counsel
Appeared lor the defendant. Among them
were Edwin M. Stanton, James T. Brady,,
John Graham, „ Ileverdy Johnson, Thomas
Francis Meagher, and GoT. Toiillips, of Ala
bama. Tlie Hon. Robert Ould, now of
Richmoud, Virginia, conducted the prose
cution, assisted by Mr. Carlisle. Towards
the close of the trial Mr. OuM endeavored
to introduce testimony as to Sickles’ pre
vious bed character, but.it Avas overruled.
The sympathy of the jury was evidently
Avith Sickles from the outset The court
room was crowded with hist New York
friends, who made boisterous derrfbnstra
tions in his fttvor, and the rulings of the
Judge were nearly always In his favor.
Brady and Stanton made elaborate argu
ments for the defense, and when the jury
rendered an acquittal, a scene followed
rarely witnessed in a court Tlie
people went, wild with cheers, one of tlie
counsel kissed' the liberated man, and an
other sat down and wept. Sickles was car
ried in triumph to his home, and a band of
music in the evening serenaded his counsel,
and would have serenaded him but for the
good sense of Mr. Brady, who made them
a speech, and begged them to go home.
.Letters of congratulation poured in upon
pickles frrufl ftl? pnfTfc of the-cosirt ry. He
informed his friends that he would imme
diately procure a divorce from hie wife,
and after providing for her decently cast
her from his mind forever. But not long
alter, when he returned to Ncav York, to
the jifltonishmeiit of the world, he -took life
vvifivoaetc l<» live with him. Tills extraor
dinary conduct swept nearly every old
Mend from his side. Men avlio had stood
by him through the trial like brothers,
turned away from him forever in tlie inten
sity of their disgust. His political ene
miss visited him Avith their most withering
sarcasm, and the Tribune published an ar
ticle upon him almost unequalled in its
brutality. Sickles, in reply to these stric
tures oMVieiKl and foe, came OHt in a letter
defending his conduct; but it won back
none of the former.
The cause of this strange course Avas
never publicly known, but the story cur
rent in private circles was that certain
promissory notes had been discounted at
the Slice and Leather Bank in favor of
Sickles, bearing, the indorsement of Bag
ioli, his father-in-law. This endorsement
Bagioli failed to recoguize as his, and to
saA r e himself from the accusation of writ
ing what lie should not Avrite, Sickles sub
mitted to terms—he went back to his wife.
The notes were settled several years after-
Avards.
The year following the murder, the se
cession troubles commenced, and Sickles,
true to. his Congressional record, was, elo
quent iu defense of the course of tbe-South.
It was stated at the time, that some weeks
after the firing * upon Sumter, when the
whole North was roused to'a frenzy of
warlike excitement, Sickles met a band of
Southern sympathizers at the New .York
Hotel and harangued them upon the •• fony
and wickedness of coercion. Suddenly he
gave way to the current, and blossomed in
to an ardent patriot. He raised a brigade
for service in the field, ne was in hot wa
tciifrqm the Iwginmßg. Hte first trouble
was with thewnidbr Defense ’Committee,
because they would not accept his vouch
ers %ud pay money on them when they
were written with a lead pencil. At last,
he received sjt,ooo from the committee,
but subsequently fie took the men’s re
ceipts for ' the monjpy to Washington ; and
upon the claim that the money had been
paid out of his own pocket, he received it
oyer again. The brigade cost the city, to
arm and equip, nearly $300,000. When it
was taken to Washington, Sickles marched
it to tlie White House, and boastiugly in
formed Lincoln that it had been raised out
of his own means.
Gen. Sickles’s principal military exploit
was at Gettysburg. By a blunder he near
ly lost the battle to the Union cause, and
led his men to be mowed down like grass.
This affair induced a prominent General to
assert, in a communication to the press,
that if General Sickles “ had not lost liis
leg at the battle of Gettysbbrg, he would
have been cashiered.” The wound kept
him from active service in the field during
the remainder of the war.
When the reconstruction act passed
Congress, and the South was cut upiu'
satrapeies, Sickles was sent to lord it over
South Carolina. He was as cruel and arbi
trary there as the most ardent hater of the
vanquished Carolinians could wish. He
arrested citizeiis and threw them into the
military prisons without examination;
Seized funds in the bank; shut up the
savings institution, and. forced the people
to submit to humiliations of all kinds that
they were powerless to resist. He made
himself thoroughly detested by t hose over
whom he ruled, 'a*d it was with intense
gratification they learned at last that Presi
dent Johnson h&d resolved to remove him.
He came back home, was banmiiettedby the
Union League Club, tqastedJby John Jay,
and rested on his honors. • t-
During the last Presidential election,
while drawing his pay as au officer in the
army, he traversed the country making
political speeches. His candidate was
elected, aud he liopf. has Ais reward—the '
mission to the proudest 4*id.«teM punc
tilious nation in the old world.

atffiwhen obtained It is. on this account, equal to a local com!
pany iu each State. Its success is without a parallel.
Western and Southern Men Insure in it for the Following Reasons :
Ist Because it is a home institution in each State. It is managed and controlled by your

4th Because its rates are lower than those of most other sound and reliable companies.
/\rid because its dividends will be larger. ... . , , , , , .
sth Because yon have not to take the word of an interested agent about the solvency and
stability of the Life Association, as you are obliged to do in the case of Eastern Companies.
You can apply to any prominent merchant or banker in St. Louis, wuere the Association i 3
kn own , D 0 *to the Manager of the Augusta Branch, and find out what t« standing is.
6th Because you ouujlit to insure in a successful institution, aiul the Life Association ot Amer

It is only ten months iu existence, and its present annual income is over Eight Hundred Thou

This is theoulv Life Insurance Company in the United Slates in which the MANAGERS
ARE ALL POLICY HOLDERS, and where the profits are all reserved for the benefit of the
policy holders, and its funds always invested within the reach of the assured.
Inquire ol any ot your neighbors as to the character of the Board of Managers.
Particular attention is invited to the fact that the rates of the Life Association are exactly
fourteen percent, tower than the average of Eastern Companies. This is equal to an auuual div
idend of over fifteen per cent., paid in advance, i. e., by reduction of the premium.
Policies nou-fbrfeitable. One-third of the premium loaned to the assured.
Note. — if you insure in the Life Association, the amount of the policy will be paid to yourself,
should you live to be 80 years of age ; whereas, if yon insure in ang of those Eastern Companies,
whose rates are higher, the money will not be paid till your death, should you live to be one hun
dred.
If you insure in the LIFE ASSOCIATION, the money paid by you, as premiums, will be
loaned out ou real estate security, situated in your own State and used for developing your lands.
If you insure in Eastern Companies, it will be sent to the E ist, and kept there until you die, as
the laws of tbe Eastern States prohibit investments iu the West or South. They will not trust
you—will you trust them ?
