TUE 1'KKSMXT OUTLOOK.
The Political caluron still boils.
Since the Presidential election of last
fall, its agitations as yet, however,
have assumed no distinctly marked
new form. Its ebulitione as yet evi
dently proceed from the same fires
and matt rials which caused the heats
and results of that campaign.
The discussions and damaging dis
closures of the late session of Con
gress touching the corruptions at
tending “Credit Mobilier” specula
tions and the election of United States
Senators in Kansas, Arkansas and
other States, have tended npon the
whole rather to abate than increase
the fierceness of the fires which pecu
liarly characterized that epoch. Still,
the same fires, to a limited extent,
continue to burn. The caldron still
boils with the same materials, though
with less turbulence.
What is to be the result? Will it
entirely subside, or will new elements
of heat be applied,.giving it renewed
energy and fury ? If so, what are
these elements to be? What new
movements or devices, if any,
are likely to be made or resorted
toby those Democratic “Leaders”
who, in the late canvass, took charge
of this caldron as Shakspeare’s
witches did of a like one in the play
of Mac Beth ?
This is the question. Is any new
movement on foot? And, it any,
what ?
To our readers, who feel an interest
in this matter, we 6ay if there beany
such we know nothing of it. We
have seen intimations that something
of this kind is in contemplation, if
not in active projection. Of the facts
we know nothing. For their further
information on the point we refer
them to an article to be found else
where in our columns to-day, taken
from the Savunnah News, of the 29th
of March.
From tnis it would seem that some
“ new programme ” is at least in a
state of concoction, and we refer to
the subject now simply to warn all
true Democrats against having any
thing to do with it, let it be proposed
or advocated by whomsoever it may
be.
The free institutions of this coun
try can Ik* rescued and saved only by
a return to, and steadfast mainten
anoo of the “ time-honored principles
of Je'.ersonian Democracy.”
Nothing short of ultimate disaster
to the Party, and to the liberties of
the country will resnlt from any spu
rious party combinations that may be
formed, with a view to attain office
by even “ winking at,” much less in
dorsing or sanctioning any one of the
monstrous usurpations which have
marked Radical misrule for the last
seven years.
On this subject we agree entirely
with our cotemporary of Savannah
In the same connection we also
take occasion to express our deep re
gret at seeing the intimation ol our
high ly esteemed cotemporary of Au
gusta (the Constitutionalist,) that
he would be willing to try another
Presidential contest on what he styles
the “ conservative programme,”
adopted last year, by a wing of the
Republicans at Cincinnati, and by the
Democratic Convention at Baltimore.
It is not our object, at this time, to
re-open the discussion of that Plat
form, or the mischiefs which followed
its adoption. We only intend earn
estly to protest against the repetition
of any such course by the Democracy
in the future. We must, too, in this
connection, further add cur dissent
from the position ol' our Augusta
Cotemporary, referred to in another of
his recent articles. In this lie says :
To General Grant and the shoal of
office holders and office seekers who
follow in his wake, all the political
evils of the present day are to be at
tributed. The confusion and stagna
tiou of business in Louisiana
mongrel governments in South Caro
lina," Florida and Arkansas, which
have reduced these Flutes to almost
the condition of Havti, all flow from
the despotic policy of the President
policy and measures were sanctioned
by the same “conservative” Cincin-
nati-Baltimore Platform.
1 he very great “political evils”
referred to “flow ’ not (as we under
stand it,) from the acts of Gen. Grant,
but from the iniquitous reconstruc
tion measures which, as President,
he is called upon to execute, though
he was known to be decidedly opposed
to them at the time of their adoption.
The Democracy, therefore, if they
would make a successful effort in
remedying these evils, must assail
the infamous policy and glaring usur
pations* oil which these measures
rest, and not the officer who is called
upon to execute them.
In a word, if the Democracy would
succeed they must arraign before the
people the hideously despotic princi
ples of the Radical Party, and obtain
a public condemnation of these, and
not confine their action to denuncia
tions of. the officers upon, whom de-
volves the execution of any measure,
however odious, so long (as it is
sustained by the Judiciary Depart
meut of the Government.

kTIIE SALARY GR ADDERS.
General'^ Garfield, of Ohio, one of
the salary grabbers, has been called
upon Jby his constituents, in public
meeting assembled, to resign his seat
in Congress, he, by voting for the re
troactive salary bill, having lost their
confidence.
Will he comply with the wishes of
his constituents? Guess not. He
was only last fall re-elected for anoth
er term, giving him plenty of time
to make several other grabs and then
retire in good order, that is to say in
dependent of his constituents. Gar-
ffeld is a loil man. But we are sorry
to say that some too religious (?) to
vote for the bill themselves, bribed
others to do so. The course of such
men is the most contemptible of all
In a bold thief there is something to
admire, but for the combination of
knave, coward and hypocrite, no lan
^uage is sufficiently strong to express
our utter contempt. “ Oh that God
would place in every hand a whip to
lash such rascals naked through the

HAUILTOS FEMALE COLLEGE.
The statement, made in a letter to
The Sun some time ago to the effect
that the Female College at Hamilton
Harris county, had suspeued was er
roneous. We are glad to state, as w
know, that the exercises of this firs
class school have not been suspended
although the College building w
burned down some time ago. We take
this occasion to say that this institu
tion, under the Presidency of Col. J.
H. Lovelace, is one of the best con
ducted in the country, and that ef-
iorts, promising success, are being
made to rebuild at an eailv dav.
TEMPERA MCE LA WS DEFEATED.
The Pennsylvania Legislature has
refused to pass the “Local Option
tippling bill.” The Tennessee Legis
lature passed a similar bill, which
was vetoed by Governor Brown,
giving his reasons for so doing in a
lengthy communication under two
different heads. First is that the
bill was not passed in the manner re
quired by the Constitution of the
State, the provision of which that
no bill shall become a law until it
shall have been read and passed on
three different days in each House,”
he Governor regards not as simply
; rectory, but as mandatory. The
bill in question passed three readings
on three different days in the Senate,
as sent to the House, adopted in lieu
of a Huuse bill on the same subject,
then on the third reading, and passed.
Thus the Senate bill passed only one
reading on one day in the House.
The other objection to the law is
that its local option feature amounts
to a delegation of legislative power to
portion of the people by the Legis
lature. The Constitution places all
law-making power in the General
\ssembly, which power can not be
delegated. The bill, by leaving it to
the people of any civil district or
ward of a city to say whether or no a
license shall be granted to retail
liquor, attempts to transfer the power
make a law on the subject to the
people of the civil district or ward.
OAKES AMES.
The Boston Herald thinks that
Oakes Ames, with his big axe to
grind, will make a mighty poor figure
beside Geoige Washington and his
little hatchet, in the world.” Ames
has much sin to repent of and be for
given before he will ever cut any kind
of figure beside any one in the good
world. He might try the experiment
of investing one half of his ill-gotten
gains by down-right robbery to buv
absolution. But yet there is hope
even for such a scoundrel as Ames,
for the poet says:
" While the temp bold* out to burn,
The Tileet (Inner tntv return.”
JUSTICE.
The City Council of Indianapolis,
Indiana, lately voted five thousand
dollars to a woman named Glazier,
whose husband, Chief of the Fire De
partment, was killed while in dis
charge of his official duty.—
Every man and woman who con
tributes to the tax fund from which
the money was taken will approve
the act.
Hon. S. S. Cox, late M. C.
from New York, and formerly Repre
sentative from the Capitol District
of Ohio, not being a member of the
present Congress, is traveling for
pleasure and health, and no man
knows better how to enjoy life than
Sam. He is now in Florida, and in
tends sailing for Europe about the
first of June. Look out for an extra
edition of “A Buckeye Abroad.”
The Cincinnati Chronic
Times, of March 26th, says : “ It is
worthy of record on the page of cur
rent history that Senator Gordon, of
Georgia, an ex-Confederate comman
der, was yesterday the occupant for a
brief period of the chair of the Vice
President of the United States as pre
siding officer of the Senate.” Well,
“ let it be so recorded.”

It is really surprising to those of the
present oeutory to learn for whst com
paratively light and trivial offences capi
tal pnnisbment in the olden time was in
flicted. A correspondent giv,s the fol
lowing incidents : While JoUc Hancock
was Governor of the Commonwealth,
Rachel Whall was hang in Boston for
highway roubery. Her offense consisted
in twi'ching from the hands of another
female a not net worth, perbape, seventy-
five cents, and rnnning off with it. 1
mention tli s not to the disparagement of
the Governor. He, doubtless, acted apon
a sense of duty, thinking it best for the
community that the laws of the land,
however irightfnliy severe, while they
were laws, should be executed.
A lad eighteen years of age was bang
in Salem tor arson, during the adminis-
trai ion of Governor Strong, similar ap-
prais were made in his lavor being con
sidered and overruled. Yet the intel
ligence and the humanity, alike of the
executive und oi the council notwith
standing tnu result arrived at in both
these instances, were unquestionable.
Within the same period a gentleman saw
a girl seventeen years of age hung in
London tor stealing a silver cream
pitcher. Edward Vail Brown was hui g
in Boston for burglary committed in the
house of Captain Osias Goo.iwir, in
Charity street, and stealing therefrom
sundry articles.
I one. owned a set of the Old Baity
trials (1785 to 1825) embraced in a series
of perhaps fifty-eight quarto volumes.
The earliest of the volumes contain the
details of the trial of the unfortunate Dr.
Dodd, for forgery, whose touching ap
peals tor mercy here recorded were fruit
lessly enforced by the splendid eloquence
of Johnson. In a later volume, long
after the commencement of the present
century, eigl t separate capital convic
tions are recorded as one day’s job of a
single tribunal, the culprits being all
boys and girls between the age of ten and
tiiteeu, and their offenses petty thefts.
One ease I remember of peculiar judi.'iul
atrocity. A young girl in her eighteenth
year was indicted for stealing a role of
ribbon worth three shillings.
The proseentor’s evidence was to this
effect: “Tne prisoner came into my shop
and purchased some ribbons. I person
ally know her, and was on the most
friendly terms with her. When she left
I accompanied her, and offered her my
arm, which she accepted. We conversed
.oget her. As we reached the corner of
a str.fct leadmg to the B w street office
I turned toward it. She said she was
going in another direction, and bade me
good monrng. No! you are coming
with me! I saw you Bttal a piece ol
ribbon. She immediately impi red me
for God’s sake to overlook it, and restored
to me the article. I said to her tnat I
had lost many things in this way, and
was resolved to make an example—I was
determined to have her life.’’ And he
got it.
I can never forget how my blood boiled
as I reed the evidence of this cold-hearted
wretch. In view of the judgment of
merciful God, far rather, it seemeo
me, would I have been iu the place of
that poor, frail, erring girl on the scaffold
than in the place of her heartless accuser.
I rose from the v eiusal of these volumes
horror-struck with the continuous record
f inconceivable cruelties, it appears to
me that the 70,000 hangings in the reign
of Henry VIII were matched by an
equally long list of persons condemned to

We see it stated that Gov. Hendricks,
of Indian*, has been on • visit to Wash
ington for several days past, and the
newspaper correspondents nave discov
ered that his mission there ie to organize
a new party npon the ruins of Democracy
and Liberal Republicanism. His proposi
tion is to abandon the old organization
and name of Democracy, and to put
forth a formal acknowledgment of the
death of past issues and a declaration of
liberal principles in the future.
There is evidently some kind of a
“New Departure” brewing among the
politicians at Washington, the object
being to readjust matters to their per
sonal advantage and liking, and to put
the Democratic party iu a new attitude.
Ou this subject we entirety agree with
that sterling Democratic journal, the
Pniiadelpuia Age, whose editor, speaking
of the rumors from Washington of new
combinations and “new departures,”
says : “We have seen no good
result from any of these artificial
contrivance-. We recall no time
when the name of Democracy better
expressed its true principles—opoosition
to centralization through the exercise of
un •oustitutioual powers by the Federal
Government; pure and economical ad
ministration in the interest of the many,
ana not of the few; and the revival of
Thomas Jefferson’s test for office: ‘Is
he honest, is he capable, is he faithful to
the Constitution?’ The late election in
Ne>w Hampshire shows that the Demo
cratic par‘y c-n stand firm undents own
anuer, and asa all patriotic citizens to
rally under it, as th9 time-honored em
blem of the principles an which true
American lioerty was founded.”
The following, from the Augusta Con
stitutionalist, gives, perhaps, an inkliug
of what is to be the new programme.
Speculating in regard to “ The Political
Future,” the editor says:
The Presidential election and the re-
inauguration of Gen. Grant for his sec
ond term, are among tue things of the
past. Congress has adjourned, ex
cept a called session of the Sen
ate, and politics are, for the
time, apparently quiescent. But iu
su"h intervals of repose from active
luties are the brains of the politicians
most active in enueavoring to forecast
the future and to shape events that will
inure to the benefit of themselves aud
their party. The Radical partv is fust
becoming bankrupt in capital. The pas
sions and hate engendered by the war
cannot be ava led of much longer. The
coiruption of its leaders are too patent to
be longer choked, and the people of all
sections are be.ng fully aroused to the
necessity of a purer government. The
Wist, so long the bitter foe to this see
tion, is realizing now that its interest is
more nearly interwoven with the South
tnau tne North. When the West aud
the South unite their political stiength
wnich they must and will do, from the
law of eelf-iuterest, they will rule the
country. The nnmerous grand railroad
enterprises lately inaugurated by the
people of the West, to reach the South
ern Atlantic coast, is evidence that they
feel it to be to ttie’r inteiest to have more
and more direct channels of trade with
us, and through our seaports, with foreign
countries. Tneee friendly advances of
our Western neighbors, thongh prompted
by self-interest, will be met in a generous
spirit by the Soutu. Tnis alliance for
social and material progress will beget an
au harmonious political interest and aim
which, under a Conservative programme,
such as the Oiuomna i and Baltimore
platform oi las year, will lead to a grand
triumph in 1876.”
An alliance with the men of the West
“ for social and material progress” and
for the reformation of the Government,
w<~nld be botn practicable and desirable,
bat we have yet to be convinced that it
would be either wise or patriotic to mage
the Cincinnati platform the basis of snch
alliance. In the work of purifying the
Government something moie than
mere party triumph has to be accom
plished. If the Government is to be
restored to its original purity it must be
by the restoration of the principles npon
which it was lonnded. If the West is
indeed “aroused to the necessity of
purer government,” let her politicians
leave their Massachusetts cranks aud
isms, throw aside the rotten planks of
tneirold platforms and unite with the
honest Democracy of the whole union
on the simple and pure basis of the Con
stitution. When the people can be
brought back to this platlorm pure gov
ernment wili be restored, aud until the
Constitution is recognized as the only
trne platform, it mat ers little wha> party

Heretofore we have never bad the

oar name may be fonnd among the de
voted “500” that are, or may be drawn,
we protest that never will we be dishon
ored by voluntarily taking a seat wrnle
the present ruling is being had. If
forced into the box with these “ uptight
and intelligent” peers that the authorities
would disgrace ns with, it will be in obe
dience to a tyranny that we shall be anable
to resist. But the fact is, we are totally
incompetent as a juror where the Gov
ernment is a party at interest. We are
prejudiced. A robber that has robbed
ns mast not expect us to do him jnstioe, or
give him oar svmpathy or pity, when the
highwayman, with pistol cocked, orders
him to “ stand and deliver.” Whenever
the Government will show ns the least
bit of magnanimity, we will appreciate
it, aud then begin to tarn our affections
back into the oid channel. Bnt as long
as hhe persistently tries tc degrade us, we
will hate her and despise ner minions in
whatever shape they may assume.
Then bow are we expected to find a
mau guilty o< plundering the post-office
for instance, when the greatest plunder
ers of the age stand cheek by jowl witn
the greatest dignitaries of the lund ?
How are we expected to do otherwise
thau to sympathise with a poor devil, in
the person of an illicit uistiiler, wuen
both houses of Congress and two Vioe
Presidents have been teaching him to
distill vice aud coemption, and to make
drunk, and to deoauch, tho whole body
politic, with bribery and perjury ?
Where is th. jury tnat can have the
heart to find a bill of indictment even
against a Benedict Arnold, when traitors
are running riot all over the land, sap
ping aud mining at the very mud sills of
the Constitution? No, Bii ! While the
scales of justice are held by the baud that
now holds t em in poise, we don’t think
we will make a good young man. One
end of the balance weighted down with
heavy ordinance; the otner cud with the
shadow of the Constitution and law,
kicking the beam “high up ns Heaven.”
The judg9 and his marshals will please

The Anglo Saxon race have, Heretofore,
