In times past, the advocates and
apologists of slavery stoutly contended
that the more the question was agita
ted tho firmer the chains were riveted
nnd that it did the cause an absolute
injury to discuss it. That theory has
been exploded.
Antl-tempcrancc men arc now chop
ping the same kind of logic. They
say, "the more temperance people
strive to prevent intemperance, the
more drunkenness there will bo."
Docs any sane man believe such stuff?
Wc hope that no one having the cause
at heart will be deluded into relaxing
his efforts thereby.
LET1TEAX CHARITY.
When Major Andre of Revolution
ary ignominy requested that he might
be shot in lieu of being hung, he was
entirely too modest to ask that his
crime should be forgiven and forgot
ten. And yet history tells as that
General Washington did not even
grant what was contained in the petition.
Tho fjiict and rebels of the late
war, not content that they have escap
ed tho odium of the gallows, and have
been exempted from tho just retribu
tion of the bullet, ore clamorously
petitioning that their treason shall be
forgotten and their crimes forgiven.
They say "It is unwise and ungcucr
ous to keep olive disagreeable rcmcm
bcrances thut foster strife and bitter
ness" and advise that all such appel
lations as "rebel" "traitor" and
"copperhead" should be sunk in obliv

' Doubtless Democracy would rejoice
with exceeding joy, if some cunning
oonjurer could stifle the busy Demo

long as the memory of Andereouville

. Can the patriotic citizen, whose dar
ling boy suffered the horrors of tbe
awful prison pens of tbe South, forget
or forgive the abettors of his murder?
Can the old man who offered his gal
lant children' on the altar of his eoun-
try, forget the contumely nud insults
that were heaped upon him and them,
for rallying around the old "banner of
beauty and glory" in its terrible hour
of trouble? Can the veteran soldier
now at home, scarred with wounds and
honored by his grateful fellow patriots,
forget that while the world stood gaz
ing in unspeakable admiration at the
amazing spectacle of a million of noble
men, sacrificing happy homes and joy
ous lives on the battle field, for the
old flag of Union, that an organized

unparalleled perfidies cannot be for

and the stigma of Copperhead will
adhere to the Democratic party while
history lives. As soon might we ex

It would be a monstrous crime to for
get such monstrous wrongs. The sol
diers and patriots of this Republic can
not forget it, and the descendants of
the Copperheads of the rebellion, will
curse the memories of
the fathers who

There are some who express surprise
that President Johnson should have
tendered the War Secretaryship, even
ad interim, to General Grant, and still
others who are disappointed that Grant
should have acceplcd the position.
Grant, being a subordinate, is bound
to obey the orders of the President.
Had he refused to act as Secretary of
War, Johnson might have regarded it
as an act of insubordination, and made
it an excuse for removing him from
the oflice of General of the army. A
state of things he anticipated, no doubt,
for it is patent that he covets Grant's
romoval as much as he did Stanton's.
I Hero can he no ilouiiL that it was a
conspiracy against Grant that prompt
ed the appointment. Johnson per
ceived the delemma : "Let Grant
refuse and I will suspend him also.
Let him accept and Stanton's friends
will discard him."
Grant is too old a tactician to be out
flanked by such transparent strategy
as that.

The address of the Democratic State
Committee of Pennsylvania has one
merit it is short. I3ut, brief as it is,
it contains almost as nianv false as
sertions its sentences, and is a specimen
ot the very worst kind ot political
trickery. All the evils of the war
the loss of life, taxation, debt, high
prices, paper currenev are enumerat
ed as the direct work of the Republi
can party. Not a word is said of the
Kebellion. e wonder what stull a
Democratic State Committee can be
made of which gravely submits such
an argument as this to the people.
It is true that wc have a great debt,
which bears as heavily upon Repub
licans as on Democrats; it is true that
wc arc severely taxed to pay it ; it is
true that prices arc high, that the cur
rency is depreciated. A 11 this wc
know and laments; but it is also true
that we owe these evils, first, to the
Rebels, and second, to the Democratic
party, and wholly to their combined
efforts to destroy the Union. It seems
almost absurd to repeat these truths,
for no ingenuity will ever conceal the
great fact that the South rebelled, that
the Democratic party sympathized
with rebellion, anil that the Republi
can party directed and maintained the
War for the Union, and brought it to
a triumphant end. It is notorious
that the Rebels depended for aid iqion
the Democratic party ; that the official
action of that party was hailed in the
South as an encouragement to persist
in rcliellion ; that it it had not been
tor democratic opposition the war
would have ended years, perhaps, be
fore it did, and that tho debt and all
our national evils would now be im
measurably less, ihere is notmnr
plainer than that tho Democratic party
next to the Rebels is responsible
for the war nnd the misfortunes that
have followed it. We repeat, there-
tore, that to compare the rate of taxa
tion in 18G0 with the rate in I860, in
proof that the Republican party has
mismanaged the finances, without a
word of reference to the war, is simply
the meanest kind ot political trickery.
and certain to damage the cause it was
meant to help. This address is insult
ing to tho intelligence of the reader,
and a slander of tho North, for the
Republican party and the North
throughout the war were one and indi
visible. It is all the loval States that
this Democratic Committee accuses of
tyranny, and hatred, and corruption.
Tribune.
VThe Democraticjournals deal large
ly in metaphor. One of them calls
Mr. Stanton "a low mule," and in the
next sentence accuses him of "riding
the high horse." A mule on horse
back would be a remarkable sight.

C'hnnire In District C'ommnndpr.
It is understood that tho President
has assigned Major (leneral George I I.
Thomas to command the Fifth Milita
ry District, in place of Major General
Sheridan, who has lieen assigned to
command the Department of Missouri,
from which Major General Hancock
has been transferred to that of the
Department of the Cumberland in
place of General Thomas. It is ex
pected that the order carrying these
assignments into effect will be issued
from the War Department, early this
week.
Gex. Chant has commenced in
earnest the work of retrenchment. It
is probable that at least two of the
seven Adjutant Generals now in the
War Department will be transferred to
duty-elsowhcre. The Quartermaster's
Department will also be largely reduc
ed. There are now twenty-nine' offi
cers on duty in this branch of the
Department,' most of them in the
regular army. The larger portion of
thtwc will be transferred j and the bu
reau reduced to something like its status
before the w;tr.
The Copperhead Organs are jubi
lant over the fact that Gen. Grant,
going into the War Department, ac
cepts the "situation." All right. Let
the Cops hold on to that stick, and we
warrant they will get tho palms of
their tfirty hands burnca severely be
fore a mouth has elapsed,..

Wm. Bigler is intriguing for a posi

Opinion thinks General Pope may

to take the test oath.
In accordance with General Tope's
order the civil officials have notified
the papers opposed to reconstruction,
under the military bill, of the with

Rebv! flmntor Hill to be Arrested.
General Grant, it is understood, will
reply to General Pope's letter wherein
complaint is made that ex-rebel Sena
tor Hill, of Georgia, is making
speeches against the reconstruction act,
advising his arrest and all others who
maybe, in the opinion of the district
commander, obstructing the working
of the reconstruction net. General
Grant some time since advised the ar
rest of Gen. Jenkins on precisely simi
lar ground.
The President cannot face public
opinion by relieving General Sheridan
for any of his official acts tending to
successful reconstruction, but cives
mt that his removal will be based on
10 other reasons than insubordination
nnd disrespect towards the Chief Exe
cutive. If Sheridan must sutler for
an offense so common in the country
as disresoeet for the President, he will
be consoled by knowing that he is in
plenty of good company, so far as Mr.
Johnson has forfeited tlie respect of all
right minded citizens. 1'ittx. Gazette.
The President asseverates that he is
constrained to remove Sheridan, not
that he is altogether displeased with
his official. action in governing in his
district, but because the great cavalry
officer is disrespectful in his dispatches
to his superiors. Andrew Johnson
talk about any man being disrespectful

nouncing to ills numerous friend and patron
that he has returnod to Washington and resum
ed practice at his old stand, corner of Main and
Chestnut streets, where lie can bo found at all
times by those wishing to consult htm In regard
to diseases and their treatment. The Dr. deems
it unnecessary to enter Into the details of his
theory and practice, as from hundreds of cases
which he has treated with complete success in
Washington and adjolnlim counties, the public
are mnro or less acquainted with his system.
He would, however, say that daring his resi
dence In Cincinnati! he had experience In hospl
tnl practice, making weekly visits to the princi
pal hospitals of tho city, coming In contact with
elironlo diseases of every type and kind, nnd
having ample opportunity to witness the effect
of the most approved und sclentlHo modes of
treatment, the Doctor has also added to hlsnffice
u very hue Microscope, which enables him to
make Optical, Chemical, and Microscopical ex
amination of any cuso that maybe presented,
In short, to reduce medical Diagnosis by means
of the urine to absolute certainty, leaving no
room for doubt, either on his part, or that of the
patient. The atnieted are Invited toeull und test
his treatment with the assurance of speedy re
lief nnd permanent cure.
