The Administration Policy.
The {Borneo satirist, With a keen eye to detect
the incongruity often seen in die professions as
compared with the acts of politicians, was moved
to ask in his day, “ Who would bear the Gracchi
complaMrig df sedition f” Had he flived in ofir
time he might ask with equal propriety, “ Who
could bear the Radical philantropista complaining
of inhumanity F* Alike by the policy of their
legislation and by the practical arts with which
that policy has been identified at the South, they
have shown a settled contempt, as well for the dic
tates of benevolence as for the maxims of a pru
dent statesmanship, “The rights of man"have
never had anything to do with the determinations
of the Radical party iu the matter of the South
ern blacks. The fact has not only been covertly
indicated but openly proclaimed at every step of
the Radical progress in this “What I
do about slavery and the colored race,” said Mr-
Lincoln shortly before issuing his edict of emanci
pation, { ' I do because it helps 10 save the Union,
and what I forbear, I forbear because I.do not be
lieve it would help to save the Union.” Never
was there a more distinct renunciation of anything
like humanitarian rights at the bottom of a politi
cal transaction, and never was there a plainer dec
laration to the effect that the colored race was to
lie used as a mere stock in trade for the promo
tion of political ends. With the termination of
the war this stock in trade was turned from mili
tary to civil uses. The negroes of the South were
clothed with the elective franchise and placed in
power over the white race at the South, not that
“ equality before the law ” and “ manhood suffrage”
might be proclaimed throughout the land, blit
that a foundation might be laid for the perpetua
tion of the Radical dynasty This motive, avowed
at the time, has been abundantly disclosed by the
subsequent coiirse of evertte) in the reconstructed
States. In the name of “equality before the law”
the best talent and highest culture of these Stated
bas been placed, as far as possible, under the dom
ination of a corrupt coalition between ignorance
and fraud. In the name’of “impartial suffrage ”
this corrupt coalition bas been consolidated by
ostracizing the natural leaden of the South. In
the name of “ great moral ideas ” a confederacy
between ignorant blacks and thieving whites has
been sustained by the whole organized force of the
Republican party. In the name of “peace ”it has
been protected by the dragonnades of the Federal
soldiery in South Carolina. In the name of “civil
service reform” it has been upheld by a Casey And
Packard, the facile kinsman and pliant servitor of
the Executive, in the State of Louisiana.
And now what shall be said of such glaring in*
congruities, (not to use a harsher term) between
the professions and the practice of the dominant
party? These incongruities, these shameless in
' sincerities, let us rather say, “ spring into the eyes’*
•of the whole American people and cannot be wink*
•ed out of sight. It is because of this Radical I
•apostacy from the rule of right that the Democra
cy of the nation, in reaffirming the first declaration
made by the Liberal Republicans at Cincinnati,
lave assumed ifi sincerity and truth to “recogsize
*h.e equality of all men before the law,” and to
* u mete out equal and exact justice to all, of what
ever nativity, race, color, or persuasion.” While
frauikiy maintaining the emancipation and enfran
chisement of the colored race, and while opposing
“any reopening of the Questions settled by the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
of the Constitution,” the Democracy will still have
much to do by way of enforcing “ the equality of
the law,” and of “ meting out equal and exact jus
tice to all.’* The' Radical policy, as now upheld by
force and fraud in the Southern States, discrimi
nates in tar&f St thfe Macks against the whites; ia
favor of ignorance against intelligence ; in favor of
corrupt political adventurers agaibst the people
whose substance they feat out j in favor *f licensed
brigandage against official responsibility and civil
service reform. Thfere can be no such thing as
“ equality before the law ” while misgovernment
in South Carolina, or Florida, or Louisiana is di
rectly upheld by the centralized despotism at
Washington. There can be no such thing as
“ equal and exact justice to all ” so long as we have
a Federal Administration which protects a Leet
and a Stocking in the contributions they levy on
the merchants of New York, or countenance a
Scott and a Reed in the depredations they com
mit on the public rights and private property of
the Southern people. And it is consolatory to re
flect, that the Administration, as now on trial be
fore the grand assize of the nation, cannot snatch
its case from the condemnation it merits, and is
destined to receive, as was done in the case of Mc-
Ardle, when, by stopping further judicial proceed
ings. the Radicals iu Congress took on themselves
all the moral odium of confessing to a judgment
iigainst the constitutionality and righteousness of
their acts, while evading the just penalty of their
transgressions.—N. Y. World.
Causes of Dew.
If dew fell, it would fall for the same reason
that fain falls; but dew does not fall—it is simply
a deposit of moisture, always contained in the air
to a greater of lesser degree, and which, when
there is enough of it, will always form on any cold
body exposed to the moist air. in precisely the
same way that a cold bottie or stone, taken from a
cold cellar and suddenly exposed, in the shade, tt)
the moist, warm Summer air, will become wet;
this is not sweating, nor does this tnoistufe come
out of The bottle or stone, as many people believe,
but from the air. It is for * 8 same reason that
moisture will condense against the window-panes
when the aif is cold outside, and moist inside, the
moisture slowly freezing, while its deposits form
crystals of ice, which we to often admire in Win
ter. When the weather is cool enough, the moist;
ure deposited will even freeze on plants and gfSaa,
and then we call it hoar ffost; if it does not freeze,
it is simply dew. The only point left to be ex
plained is, why dees the ground become so fool
during the night, so much cooler than the air
above it, as to cause the latter to deposit its moist
ure T This was for many years a vexed problem j
till Wells first suggested the radiation of obscure
heat, which takes place from the surface of the
earth through the clear atmosphere into the space
abets, and so causes the surface to become much
colder than the air itself. He demonstrated this
by means of thermometers placed at different
heights, and also by the fact that dew is only de
posited on cloudless nights. When there are
they reflect the heat, or pretent it from es
•aping. The surface of the earth thus being kept
HMD cooling, no dew is deposited.—Manufacturer
