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 find Bvildef.
