While in a pique lately, President Grant |
remarked to one of the Representative*
from Indiana, that he was sick and tired of
the “sovereign people.” Do not recent
events in New Hampshire seem to indicate
a genera! desire on the part of the “sover
eign [oople” to return the compliment ?
TFn- True Henson.
The Era says the Democratic victory in
New Hampshire resulted only from “want
of interest taken in the election by the
Republicans.” Forney*B Philadelphia pa
per, the Press, ascribes it to want of “effect*
k<s organization.” Bah wrong gentlemen,
the victory in that State was owmg to want
of Radical vote s *.
Poor Fi'iiiitc—Poor Pari*.
The revolutionary spirit in Paris seems
rampant, and the Insurgents show them
selves a force almost beyond the control of
the existing authorities. Strong measures,
have been adopted and it is to l^y^'j
the indications are anything but favorable
for the future of France.

“What? Not recognize mv black pet San
Domingo?” says Grant. I know no dis
tinction on account of race or color, says
Sumner. “Do you not know me, my lord,”
says the venerable sardine, Secretary Fish.
“Excellently well--you are a fish-monger,”
says Sumner.” “Madness in great ones
must no farther go,” says the President.
“Wo haste to do your Majesty’s bidding,”
says the servile Senate. We will not con
sent to “the deep damnation of his taking
off ” says Massachusetts. Grand Tableaux ! |
Distant thunder is heard from New Damp
shire f The curtain descends to slow
music.
Wliat Experiment Next.
Notwithstanding the seriousness of the
• subject, it is almost laughable to witness
the condition into which the party in power
has wriggled itself, in its .attempt to retain
ascendency. From its first efforts at recon
struction it has gone deeper and deeper into
the mire until at the present time its frantic
efforts to extricate itself appear as absurd
as the contortions of a negro driver of a
mule team in a slough, with a heavy load
and every animal determined to have his
own way. There never has been any prin
ciple with the leaders of the party in this
matter, and the only question with them
Iras been what policy will secure the votes
of the Southern States. Every attempt to
effect this object has proved a failure. Re
sults have not been what were anticipated.
The people of the South have maintained
their manhood, and State after State Jias
wheeled into line in opposition to Radical
rule, to the disappointment and chagrin of
their would-be masters as well as oppressors.
It is very apparent from the bearing of the
party leaders that they feel themselves in a
dilemma, and like mere politicians as they
are, they will resort to desperate measures
to extricate themselves and retain their
power if possible. The old cries of “rebel,”
“disloyalty,” “Southern outrages,” &c.,
have become somewhat stale and offensive
to the people of the North and West, but
the advance guard of the Republicans, like
the “Heathen Chinee” going into battle,
keep up a perpetual hue and cry which
may have the effect to silence all murmers
of discontent among their own followers, if
it does not strike terror to the hearts of their
opponents! Our own opinion is that they
will damage themselves more than their
adversaries; but there is no knowing what
this party may attempt to do in the last
dying throes of its existence, and We would
have the Conservative masses of the South
prepared for any emergency that may arise
in the future. If our advice wero worth
anything however, in this matter, we
should not counsel loud demonstrations.
We would only say, keep cool. “Possess
your souls in patience” and do not furnish
ammunition to the enemy. Do nothing—
say nothing, that Radicalism can torture
into anything that can be used to your
disadvantage. Abate no jot of principle,
but do not be moved by prejudice. Do not
allow men of extreme views to misrepresent
you, but seek to- combine all the elements
of Conservatism against the common enemy,
Radicalism. Just now is the time to act
effectually, without waiting for the excite
ment of an approaching election. Let every
voter be well informed—let every family be
furnished with a regular newspaper, that
will keep its members well posted upon
political matters, by doing this yon are
sowing good seed, without which there can
be no harvest. To scatter correct political
information abroad among the people is the
most important work that can be done for
the present ; and let every man cherish an
abiding faith in the future. Whatever
Radicalism may do or attempt to do, the
days of its power are numbered. The last
State that passed judgment upon the meas
ures of the administration was New Hamp
shire, which expresses its condemnation by
returning a full Democratic delegation to
the House of Representatives at Washing
ton. This action severs the Radical chain
in New England aod indicates a brighter
future. Tho significance of this election
can hardly be over estimated. Again we
say, let us bide our time. Those who think
alike must act together. With prudence,
wise counsels, and harmonious action, “our
redemption draws nigh.”
A “New Eri” of Honesty.
The Atlanta New Era, in a recent article
headed, “The New York Democracy
Brought To The Confessional,” after vigor
ously assailing the party in question and
declaring that ‘ common honesty it had
none,” concludes as follows :
“It is natural that a com Li no Hon at once
so corrupt and so powerful for evil should
call down the anathemas o.f ad honest men
of all parties. We are not, therefore, sur
prised to find the following bill of indict
ment, preferred bv a recent public meeting
of the citizens of New York:”
“We have fallen upon evil days. The
facility with wh.ch parry hacks juggle and
barter our interests has blurred the ancient
lustre of our party. Politicians are venal,
Legislatures are corrupt, and lobbies are
dens of thieves. Here the scene surpasses
even its ut-ual shamefulness. Creeds and
platforms, trod with the. tramp of invading
‘ office-seekers, are the counters of office*,
mongers, in their plodding game ; political
integrity is ffie bauble of an hour : official
fiue-.-eeand a placeman’s trick are the base
counterfeiters that direct and mock the
destinies of a peop’e. Political caravans
turn their steps annually, toward Albany,
and the capital of the S?ae is thronged with
hordes of trading politicians.
Principle has disappeared ; affrighted
i honesty long since escaped ; even the last
feeble restraint of party upon its besotted
| devotees have relaxed, a general license
rages and riots to the dismay of all decency
and the extinction ot all virtue. Where
I shall these fearful orgies be stayed? Whose
voice shall halt them? Fellow Republicans.
| the word is vours' —yours to exorcise this
i * n ~ ’ * * ~ "“j
1 politic to itself Resume your powers.
Rebuke the betrayers of your sacred trusts
Teach your servants the lesson of stern ac
| countability ; and above all, that for every
evil deed done in the ecstasy of their little
authority, you will exact a reckoning, rigid,
! righteous and severe.”
Now can it be possible that the Era has
made a mistake in this matter. We think
it must be so. “Common honesty” how
ever, compells us to set it right. Let it
be understood that the bill of indictment
above, was not “preferred by a recent pub
lic meeting of the citizens of New York,
against the Democratic party,” but by Re
publicans against the Republican party of
New Yoik. In fact this indictment, which
is attempted to be turned against the Dem
ocratic party, is the conclusion of an address
and appeal adopted by Mr Horace Grech/'s
“Republican General Committee ” of the
city of Neic York , on Tuesday , March , 2nd
1871, upon thS subject of the general polit
ical corruption into which the Republicans
of New York have fallen, and so reported
by Radical papers in that city at the time
of its issue. Where then is the “common
honesty” in attempting to change charges
of corruption made by Republicans against
their own party, into the declaration of cit
izens against the Democratic party ? 'Will
our neighbor of the Era remember that it is
the Radical party now indicted and on trial
before the country, and as often as the peo
ple have opportunities to render a verdict,
that verdict is, “Guilty.” Let him appeal
to the ju ’gement of the people if he will, in
his owr ble manner, but we beg of him
not to charge the Democratic party of any
State with the corruptions imputed by the
Republicans of New York, against their
own political bretheren. The Democratic
party of that State or of the country at
large, needs no defence and fears no attack
from any quarter. The time is near at
hand when this will become apparent to
all.
Mr. Sumner’s Successor.
The Portland Advertiser (Republican)
says : “On the records of the House of Rep
resentatives may still be read the following
resolutions passed on the 30th of April ISG2,
three months after Mr. Cameron resigned
his seat in the Cabinet :
Resolved, That Simon Cameron, late Sec
retary of war, by investing Alexander
Cummings with the control of large sums
of public money and authority to purchase
military supplies without restriction, with
out requiring from him any guaranty for
the faithful performance of his duties, when
the services of competent public officers
were available, and by involving the gov
ernment in a vast number of contracts with
persons not legitimately engaged in the
business pertaining to the subject-matter
of such contracts, especially in the purchase
cf arme for the future delivery, has apopted
a policy highly injurious to the public ser
vice, and deserves the censure of the House.
“This resolution passed a body at that
time almost two-thirds Republican, by the
decisive vote of 79 to 45, and this is the man
who is put forward to supplant Mr. Sum
ner as Chairman of the most important
committee of the Senate. This proceeding,
it is perfectly understood, is dictated by the
President, who unquestionably haa made a
great mistake.”
Exit tlie Two-Tlii
The two-thirds power of the Republicans
is broken in the new Congress, and from
this happy consequence of the elections last
fall it resulted that the people of the United
States are no longer at the utrter mercy of
a political party. The balance of the gov
ernment is restored. The Republican two
thirds in congress, now dead and gone, for
they dare not unseat enough of the opposi
tion to restore it, is at the bottom of much
that blackens our Federal annals in these
four years past, and in the fate of that vote
is seen the. popular condemnation of that
infamous spawn it begat. The fourteenth
amendment, with its sneaking, pot-house
laws to enforce it ; the fifteenth amend
ment, with its South Carolina legislatures
and its promising crop of bayonet election
laws for Northern as well as for Southern
polls; that disgarceful farce, impeach
ment ; Howard’s African bureau ; the hide
ous drama of re-construction, would never
have been possible but for this now defunct
two-thirds World.
No Tlmnlts.
Wendell Phillips declares that “the thirty
three Republicans who last week removed
Mr. Sumner from his post, elected a Demo
cratic President f>r 1872 ” If Wendell is
correct, and we believe he is, those thirty
three Republicans have rendered the coun
try the most important service of their
lives ; but us it was entirely unintentional,
they deserve small thanks therefor. — At

The Dcman&for Productive Labor.
The grand need in our country at tlrs
time is that of productive labor. It can no
longer be said of our people that they are
afraid of work, or that they dont work
enough ; but it is m >Bt manifest that they
do not work in the most profitable manner.
Nature made ours a producing country ; no
other land has snch various and enormous
natural ree .urces.and to the Political Econ
omist the development of these natural
sources of wealth «s not only the surest, but
the quickest road to affluence. It is this that
will make the whole country rich soonest..
Now, it is a vain pride that we have in
our country’s native wealth, so long a** that
wealth is buried in tne bowels of the earth,
and is wasting unorared tor in our fei*t*e
fields, rich forests and wild water courses.
We are too prone to content ourselves with
the consciousness of the existence ot this
wealth, and the fact that it is capable of
bein'/ developed while v»'e turn our attention
to some seemingly more pleasant and light
er employments wfticli eke out in most cases
a ton scanty subsistence.
It is a fact evident to all, that our towns
and cities are too much crowded with men
engaged in the lighter pursuits of life
especially in mercantile employments, and
what are termed the learned professions,
and may we not add the governmental
affairs? ’ If the young men of our country
would stick to the pursuit of their fathers,
and improve and cultivate the old farms
upon which they were raised ; or content
themselves to pursue the occupation »f their
fathers, whether it be blacksmith, mechanic
miller, or what not, the country would be
all the richer by it and they themselves
would in nine cases out of tj>n more
„ U iius gooua and gratifications. We
Ho not tell them to follow along in the same
beaten foot-path of ancestors : but improve
udou what tho e ancestors have done, and
been.
If the father has owned a mill with old
fashioned pair of burrstones and a wet
weather wheel, let the son improve on this
and his two, three, or half dozen pairs, and
motive power sufficient f>r them all ; if the
father be a blacksmith, or mechanic, this
offers no’reason why the son should not wish
to be the same, but rather is an argument
in favor ol it, and if tl e son be ambitious
these pursuits offer a chanel through which
he may rise to prominence and even dis
tinction, more certain than the precarious
manner which men io )k to generally of
having “greatness thrust upon them,” by
some mere chance.
There is something in the progress of
events in all communities which begets in
the human mind this tendency to seek out
lighter employment and especially those
which offer a shield from the sunshine and
protection from active physical labor, and
this tende cy is too evident in our people,
and its evil effect too keenly felt in our
national economy.
Now, in an economical sense, the shop
keeper, the lawyer, the doctor, and most
others engaged in those lighter pursuits,
add nothing to the material wealth of the
country ; they may amass individual for
tune, but it all conies off of their neighbors,
and the country at large is none the richer
by their having lived in it. But it is nec
essary that some men in the community
should follow these pursuits, and we do not
deprecate them ; but we do deprecate the
foolish and dangerous practice of every one
trying to be a merchant or professional man,
and spurning physical labor as if it were
dishonorable and mean.
U: til the public mind is set right upon
this question we may expect our industries
to lag and general depression to hang over
our country.
To labor in some shape or manner is the
lot of all mortals, and to toil is noble, and
no matter in what place or manner work is
done all sorts are equally honorable. And
to our eyes there hs as much to admire in
the farmer or mechanic in bis coarse, soiled
clothes, with bis brawny' limbs and sun
burnt honest face, as there is in the mer
chant or professional mag, with his spotless
linen, broad cloth suit and fair effeminate
face.— Tennessee Advertiser.
Africa For The Africans.
“Very large numbers of the colored peo
ple, being divhiely moved, as we believe, are
earnestly applying for passage to Liberia.
The .society has sent since emancipation*
some twenty-six hundred, and not one half
the applicants. In January just, passed, in
three davs, three distinct lists of applicants
for passage to Liberia, including over five
hundred persons, were added to former ap
plicants whom we were unable to send.
Besides, we have ample evidence that
the desire to go to Liberia is becoming a
controlling passion with thousands of color
ed people, as a means of usefulness to their
race, and the improvement of their own
condition. We interpret this movement, as
we think you will on reflection, as meaning
tho rapid colonization and red«nption of
Africa by means of our colored people.”

How 4o Do It.

then wrote an article approving Sumner’s
deposition, and pronouncing Cameron the
better man of the two, &c. This )-> endear
ed him to Grant, that he was to-day nomi
nated Solicitor of Internal Revenue, which
is as good as being in the San Domingo

not be forgotten that his newspaper is the

Pennsylvania.
Tlie.Nortli Beglning to Kick.
A strong resolution has been adopted bv
the Senate of Pennsylvania, protesting
against the act recently passed by Congress'
in relation to elections in the several States
of the Union. It is declared to be a direct
attack upon the reserved rights of the State
ot Pennsylvania, in violation of the funda
mental principles @f civil government, odi
ous, unnecessary and oppressive, and hence
should be wiped from the statute books of
the nation. This is true Democratic ground,
and the Philadelphia Age says it will be
endorsed by the people of Pennsylvania.
That State has no wish or desire to become
a mere bobtail to the Federal kite, jnd
those who put her in that position will be
repudiated at the polls of the next electon.

1771 —IS7I.
A hundred years ago Russia was bending
its energies to accomplish the conquest of
Qrini Tartary, the ancient Taurica Cher
souesuw, with the object to command the
Bl ack Sea To*day Russia demands a mod
ification of the treaty bet ween the Oz.ir arid
ttre allied powers in 185 G, the object being
to secure maritime supremacy in the same
waters. Famine prevailed throughout the
greater part of Germany during the entire
year of 1771. The winter proceeding was
unusually severe, the snowfall great, and so
scarce was fodder that the people were
obliged to strip the thatch trom their house
es to keep their cattle alive. The soring
was a season of calamities. The heavy
snows were suddenly melted, and the
swollen streams burst their boundaries,
spreading death and destruction on every
hand. The country along the Elbe was
utterly destroyed, so that the people could
neither plant nor sow To add to the dis
tress, the King of Pru«sia forbade the
transportation of corn and supplies from
the East to the distressed country. Mean
time, Russia, Prussia and Aus ria were de
ciding the fare of Poland. That year also
witnessed the final dissolution of the famous
parliament of Pari*. It had refused to
register an edict of the King which the
parliament had declared destruction of all
law. and void. The members were banish
ed. The parliaments o: Rouen an ' Rennes
condemned the whole r-r cee ling, and sent
their message to the King by the Duke of
Orleans. The Princes of the blood also
joined in the pfotest against every measure
to the prejudice of the parliaments, and the
King called a council to consider the pros
priety of banishing the Princes Paris
~ -f „ - ...tlic r>ukc
of Orleans taking decided and vigorous part
against the King. It is worthy of note
among coincidences, that now, as then, the
house of Orleans is prominently champion
ing the cause of peace and order in France.
It is also worthy of note that Germany is
not distressed by the war now raging than
it was by famine and inundation a hundred"
years ago, and uovv, as then, the King of
Prussia is engaged in partitioning for his
own profit the territory of a neighboring
nation.
In England, Wilkes and his associates
were discussing the rights of Britons, and
responding to often prosecutions for libel.
Perhaps some may see something coinci
dent with this in the proseeutiou of the
Fenian leaders of to-day. In this hemis
phere earthquakes were, causing great havoc
in llayti, while the Creeks and Choctaws
were desperately warring with each other.
The valley of the Rappahannock was rav
aged by a destructive flood ; the waters
rising twenty-five feet higher than ever
before known. The South was afflicted
with a band of marauders calling them
selves “regulators,” and the courts were
engaged in trying, convicting and hanging
the members as fast as caught. The gen
eral assembly of Virginia was returning
thanks for the failure of a “pernicious
project.” to secure an American Bishop
“among his Majesty’s faithful American
subjects.” In Boston the elemenft? were
actively combining and seething to produce
the explosion which came five years later.
The*year 1771 was remarkably calamit
ous. The famine and the inundation in
Germany, the beginning of troubles in
France, the great fire in St. Petersburg, the
plague, which ravaged Russia, Turkey and
Poland, together with the devastations of
water in both Hemispheres, and the remark
able act vity of the tendencies to crime,
combined to render that year notable. We
do not find in the annals of that time any
remarkable triumphs of science, art, discov
ery, or invention. Nor are the correspon
dences of eventes and public sentiment so
marked as they were in 1770-1870. The
comparison teaches that social progress has
been less than that of science, art, and gov
ernment, for the reason, doubtless, that
human nature is pretty much the same at
all times and every-where. —Philadelphia
Day .
Grant’s Administration.
A Pittsburg journal says that ‘Grant has
been in office two years. He entered upon
the duties of his office a popular man, and
at the end of one-half his term he stands
almost friendless. An exchange truthfully
asserts that his administration thus far has
been noted for nothing remarkable save the
maintenance of tax laws: military rule at
the ballot boxes; interference with the
rights of States, corruption of officials *
grants of public domain to ‘land grabbers
refusal to pass laws for the restoration of
the commercial prosperity of the c untrv,
and petty political intrigueing for his re
nomination. If the last half proves no
more popular than the firs’, what will be
come of the hopes now entertained of a
re- nomination ?’
Wily Is It.
The intimacy which at present exists
between Senator Sumner and Democratic
Senators—Thurman, Bayard and Casseriy
—has been the occasion of gossip in and
about the Capitol recently ; arid Mr. Su li
ner was never known to greet more cordially,
shake more warmingly the hand, or show
anybody such absolute consideration as he
did the .lion. George II Pendleton on the
floor of the Senate yesterday. lie shook
his hand, patted that gentleman on the
back, threw his arms over Mr. Pendleton’s

Sumner’s own. and the two entered into an

the statement was simply jidieulous and
