The Cincinnati Commercial and the New York and Chicago Tribune* are naturally enough disposed to find fault with it be cause it not only diaappoint* their ex pectation*. but remit* them and tbe Lib eral Republican* generally to the horn* of an unpleasant dilemma. To* go back and merge themaelrea again in the rank* of the Grant Radical*, whom they hare cameatly sought to defeat, would be awkward; to go forward under the Dem ocratic banner they are wholly unwilling to do, while to stand where they am is political isolation and nonentity. It i* very probable that these organ- will finally *ettle back again a* good Grant Centralist* and «upport a third term reflection with their accu*tomed ability. Although willing to lead the Democratic host* against Grant, they will never follow or march in the ranks ; and this is probably true of the mass of their adherent*. The mo*t of them will go back on some preten se or other, how ever unpkaaant the retreat may be. Th* Grant men will not embrace tbe prodigal* or kiU the fatted calf. On the contrary, the Rad* will bleu* them, “over the left,' a* the author* of their recent defeat*, and unanimou-ly assign them back seat* for an indefinite period in the future. Per haps tbe chagrin attending eithei alter native is so well balanced thnt the column may divide upon it, and part of them still cooperate with the Demo.uut*. We shall see. Meanwhile, the history of the brief oo* alition ha* illustrated an extreme liber ality on the part of the Democracy. Con fident all along that they must furnish from their rank 4 nine-tenths of the voters, they have bargained for nothing more from the Liberal Republicans tUan a fair and honest public administration. They have demanded neither nomina tions nor tbe enforcement of any great distinctive party principle—content to hold all personal and party aspirations in abeyanco to the supreme demand* of the oountry, and especially of that portion of it more victimised to a wretched intol erance than to the ravages of civil war. With on extraordinary enthusiasm they brought almost their full party force to th# support of this programme, only to disoover the m eagerness of the Liberal contingent. It was powerless to help them. or wane the oountry. It was a failure as a political coalition. The fact is, the whole movement prob ably drew it< strength simply from politi cal tradition. It was said that all anti war parties in the Unite.! States have per ished, ami it was assumed that the Demo- <vatic party must necessarily meet the •am* tote. No doubt this assumption lies at the bottom of much of the readi ness among Democrat* to embrace such eotlitfon*. But it is now apparent that th* great historical Democrats party, which has wwducted (this country safely through two foreign War*, and who*© ca reer U identified with all it* prosperity and glory, is not going to wreefr simply because it divided in a cruel internecine strife. Whatever defeats may be imme diately before it, it will still live, find, re newing again it* ancient strength, ulti mately ywmnmc tbe reins of power, and once more guide tbfl country in the line of a generous and national policy. So may it be.

The Atlawts PosT-orricn Defalca tiojc.—The Atlanta Constitution of yes terday give* some particulars of the •lefalcation of James Dunning, late money-order clerk in the post-office of that city, which it obtained from Mr. Woodwarl. special agent of the Post- office Department. Mr. Woodward is of opinion that the defalcations have been going on for a considerable time, and ex plain-* bow they fir j t came to be sus pected: The post-office at Atlanta is the reser voir for the surplus funds of the Money- order Department of smaller offices in this neighborhood. It was the duty of Mr. James Dunning, as he was in charge of the money department here, to re ceive these funds and immediately re turn receipt* to the post-masters by whom the several sums were forwarded. Mr. Dunning would send the required re ceipts for part of the money thus re ceived. but would not at once receipt for all. Sometimes he never would receipt for this balance, ami at other time* he would not send his receipts until after the lapn'© of days, and even weeks. Of course the tover&l postmaster* did not fancy this course of proceedings, ami the complaints to the department at .Wash ington became so frequent a* to arouse ■©uqrichn that all wfi? not right at this office. Oi|r readeri can see how Dun ning could appropriate thi* unreceipted for balanc**, enter upofc ljif book* the amount be did receipt for, and thus for a considerable time carry on hi** plundering without any evidences of it appearing upon the books. >fr- Woodward was sent for from Connecticut and repaired million seven hundred and nineteen thou sand dollar*!

The Ritualists and Anti-Ritu alists iu England. Archdeacon Dennison, one of the mod igorous detonders of ritualism and the confessional in England, thus boldly throws down the gauntlet to his oppo nent* in a letter to the London New*: If the bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, or any other bishop or bishops, will have open war, let it come. If they like to “snub*’ every Catholic, and “pat on the back** every ultra Protestant, let them follow their inclination. If they elect to stimulate popular ignorance and passion by calling us “dishonest,” “disloyal,” •plotters,” “traitor*,” so let it be. If they prefer to administer their dioceses inequitably, let them so administer, a* some are doing now. If they propose to repeat the policy which drove out Wesley a century ago, let them try its effect upon us. If they think it will promote God’s troth and the good of soul* to see wlmt .ton be done toward procuring persecuting acts of Parliament, let them try their hands. We are quite ready, and we should fear nothing if they should suc ceed. Bat they will not succeed. And Per centra the Rock, organ of the Eng lish “Low Church” this broadside at the ritualist* • Ritualism does not involve merely the adoption of any number of ceremonial observances, more or less, in the per formance of puhlio worship. The strict est adherence to the rubrics may bo per fectly consistent with sound and scriptu ral views of Christian doctrine. It is not the number or even the variety of the services or the vestments worn by the officiating minister, that constitute* the chief offence which ritualism presents. It is the fact that a system of doctrine con trary to the teaching of tue New Testa ment i* represented uqdfir outward ordinanoos. The*. this alone, is the point at D*uo between the evangelical party and the ritualist*. It i* not a mere contest about words, or the shape or color of the robes of office worn by the clergy. Ritualism, a* wo understand it. is a ques tion of doctrine. It is theology in sym bol It is the picture book of reiigipua instruction. That Instruction we hold to be erroneous; 4 neutralises t’*e efficacy of tbe atonement; it revives the «* weak and beggarly element*” of on absolute dispensation, it fails to distinguish «• the substance** under the Gospel from “the shadows* • under the Liw. The absolute and inalienable priesthood of Christ is practically ignored. An exclusive caste of sacrificing priests is set up between the sinner and the Savior. Thus, instead of leaving the access to heaven free and open through the one Mediator, ” the • an Gkriap Jesus,” these self-constituted priest* assume to be |ht» legal proprietors of our immortal fouls.

MaIsQXK Rkshjivxvcxd.—The Constitu tion of the same date has the following details of the scene in Court when Malone was vmonteaned, including Judge Hop kins’ sentence offd Malone's remarks thereafter. It says; Judge Hopkins took his sent upon the bench at half past five o’clock. To add to the deep impressiveness of the scene, the court room was no dark that the gas was lighted near the Judge’s bench. The prj*°n©r, Malone, was brought in by two bailiff* ai)d placed in a chair immediately in front of Judge Hopkins. General Gar- troll sot beside him. Mali*r,o appeared very sick and feeble.

Judge Hopkins replied fhat he had taken tip- fact into consideration in fixing fhs time of execution, hut did not see that tins should suspend the passing-of sentence. The prisoner was then required to stand up. Tlw Judire, who soem*d to be under the influence of oonsiiletabla feeling, pro ceeded then to read the death sentence as'follows: “The State vs. Milton Ma lone—Murder.

Malone started by saytag that he had very much which ha desired to say, but had been ao sick with chilis and fever that he was scarcely able to speak at all. He alluded to the State’s witnesses in very bitter terms, charging them with perjury, and accepting brioes. He also charged unfairness upon th# prosecuting attorneys. He dosed V protesting his innoccAso of ipurder and charging the State with having root h'n witnesses off, and put it out of bisf**«r 1® obtain them.

The old doctor, who concealed undor bland manner.- a perverse and obstinate tom- x-r, oould not bear the thought of pari ng with his daughter at all, but, if aho must be married, he had in view a more ambitious match.

October 23.—Ei-Presi- dent Johnson was serenaded to-night at the Metropolitan Hotel, the front of which was decorated with flags and Chi nese lanterns. An irnmeiu ie crowd of people was present. After music by the band colls were made for Johnson, when he appeared and was received with cheers. He spoke of having made his first appear ance in Washington thirty years ago: briefly alluded to the various political positions held by hitn during that time, and expressed his cordial thanks for this * warm welcome from those who were either witnesses of bis acts or had heard of them. He alluded to the period of his Presi dential life when ho lived in the midst of calumny and detraction, and unprincipled a&saults, [A man in the crowd ex claimed. “ And you still live Andy.” To which he replied, “ Yes, thank God, I am still alive, and not only live physi cally but I am alive to the preservation of our institutions and the best interests of the country.”] (Applause.) If any on? came here expecting him to argut questions or make an oratorical display and exhibit fireworks, oil he hod to say there would be a disappointment. Even if he had the mental power, he had not the physical strength on the present occasion. Wruit he would say now would be by way of inquiry, and he would ask, what kind of a government have 'wo now? (Ap plause, and cries' of toll *us.) We used to have some idea* that there was a Consti tution.

Mr. Williams, President of the Metropolitan National Bank, submitted a letter he had received from President Grant in reply to one which he (William*), at the request of a friend, baa written to President Grant. The reply of the latte? w*w very brief, and limply stated that for three or four week* the President would feel disposed, in case of urgent need, to issue weekly $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 out of the legal reserve. T4« following resolutions were passed a* the result of the meeting: Resolved, That the message of the President of the United Statea to the hank* of New York be respectfully and gratefully acknowledged, and we cor dially reciprocate his kind wishes, and will act in the spirit which he recom mend*. . Resolved, That from and after the 1st of November next the equalization of legal tenders by the banks of this associ ation be discontinued.

When he first came to Congress there were two great parties— the Whig and the Democratic He wished to-day the country, was under* their control. , He feared the l»e ’pie would never again luive two suoh parties. The differencebetween them was merely this: The Democrats contended for strict construction, while the Wuigs claimed a little more latitude. While these parties were thus opposed they both agreed in the essential princi pal, that there was a Constitution. But how was it now, or within the last six years ? When a measure was brought up in Congress and its constitu tion? lity was questioned, tho reply would be in effect, “Down with the Constitution. We’ve got the numbers.” (Laught *r.) And while he was here as the friend of the Constitution, battling and contend ing for its existence, the Constitution was taken from the archives, tom in pieoes and trampled under foot, the query came up, what kind of govern ment have we ? The oonsequonoes of tho war had per fectly effaced and wiped out the limita tions and restrictions of the Constitution; the people therefore require to l»e indoc trinated in the principles in which the Constitution was established. If the Constitution is wiped out and Congress is without restraint, 'there are ve ? Hav ing a Government controlled by a body of men without limitation as to power; no constitution to restrain them, but act-' iug according to their own will and in terest, we have the most odious depotisra ever permitted to be established. Rather than accept such a body of men, calling courts with unlimited power give him a themselves Congress, or Parliament, or wise and just prince in preference. If the other departments were uuvde subordinate and gayo thm* assent that the whole thing hid bettjr be wiped out. (Ap plause.) If all power win to bo centered in one man, let him be a just and good man; let him be some man whom it would be a pride to call master. It had been said, “why, Johnson, you are insane octSltf on the Constitution. The whole thing is played out.” The liberties of the people are gone if this be insanity. He wished to God there was more insanity in the country. (Laughter.) He wished the whole country would become insane on Constitutional liberty. They should be aroused to it. If the people could see as their fathers saw, things wo.ild be differ- ent, lie then spoke of the.increase of plun derers'- tho people being taxed to sub serve tho interests of particular classes. Just ^ .j This injustice applied to both the Fed- bio uackin eral Government an l the States. Ho for sale at low j». u wished it were passible to have an am phitheatre constructed to seat all the people of the country, so that when the curtain was drawn they could see what was going on. There would then be such a reaction a£ neve? wqp felt or heard of before, ]|u% it might be »iul this was all tall?—wo can carry* tlie election^. r* t”/ ^\n be t7 e French Millinery people the ballot-box was corrupted and degraded. He never was a partisan in politics or a fanatic on religion. “The world was hia homo and every honest man his brother,” in the language of Burke, the eminent British statesman. When bad in* n combine for.corrupt pur poses, the time lias come when good inch should combine to resist ei\on>iu i.n;cnts on the Constitution ai\d odfoty. Let the good, honest and pure men associate in a common cause to resist all encroach ments an constitutional liberty. He knew there were societies culled granges, but beyond this ho did not care if they would only take under their control Sta te and national governments and adminis ter and preserve them for the interest* of the people. To this ho wonUl say amen. So bo it. He then branched off on the Eubjocfc of finance, advocating silyer iy* the Consti tutional currency, withdrawing all th.) national banlf notes, uud issuing for them greenback* to be received in payment all Ctovernment dues. »Bank*, broker; and corporations could all suspend, and there wa3 no way to reach them. There was one portion of the people that did not suspend, namely, the fcix-payers, the producers of the country. The speculators could suspend with million*. There were two things oeibun—doatli and payment of taxes. He* said it was now time we should return to tho old landmarks. The time had ooinc when monopolies should cease. * As a general thing, the people did not seem to be alarmed about the third Presidential term, and by apathy many a nation has lost it/ liberty. Pewo*. is passing from the great snofo V° a few. Johnson then spoke ip tavor of election of President for a single term^of six years; making elective by the people, and £pding th,c Judge** tatu t’ire«* , classes, each das* to bo ole-Jtad at the time of the election of President. This, he thought, would do away with the cor ruption by which some Senators buy their seats. But what kind of a Government had they now ? A stateocracy—the power 'of the army. Was it not time fur the people to improve their government, which was to preserve the people in the enjoyment; of foelr liberties and private pursuit ? Suppose this should be passed, how* easy it would be to follow .the exam ple of Napuleon, who# elected. President of France for ten years, so arranged af fairs as to be elected Emperor of France. He had seen what unarmed people would submit to when brought into conflict with armed men. It war, therefore, well for the people ti* oarerta*n their true con, ditions.
