PARTIES AT THE NORTH.
Tile New York World and the Times of the
same city are discu.-sing the question of par
ties at the North. To us distant lookers-on
the argument and general tenor of thought
of the two contestants are edifying. The
Times denounces the Democrats as the allies
of the Radicals, and says their whole course
is opposed to reconstruction and harmony.—
! On the other hand, the World declares that
i “if the conservative Republicans continue to
act with the party, they will be bound by the
caucus proceedings of the majority, and help
elect enemies of the President to the next
Congress.” Wc. believe both are right in
their estimate of each other; though we might
add, with regard to the World, that so long

Isterestinu Daw Case.—An interesting
l_j question was argued before his Honor
| \- e Cole yesterday. The question was,
I whether a lunatic wife could sue through her
I n friend for a divorce for a cause super-
Irening the marriage, and which cause arose
1.1 oiiient to her lunney. The case was
1 ■■ mught to Crawford Superior Court, ahd.the
I jefiioa was argued here by agreement of.

II nHttht up before, either in this country or

Lr further consideration. The argument is
Laid to have been very interesting.
I Hon. Junes M. Smith, of Upson, argued
ftbc case for plaintiff, and Hon. It. P. Trippe,

lr. Glndstouc on the Nat tonal debts
| orEnfflnnd and the United States.
Mr. Gladstone, in presenting his annual
j uilgct. in the House of Commons, and Sir
|m ,rton Peto. in his book giving the results of
observations during bis recent tour in the
:i:cil States, says a Washington paper, have
cVrrcd, incidentally, to our National debt
: ,1 resources. These representations are well
ilcnlated to impress foreign capitalists with
stability of our public credit and entire
iicty of investments in our Government se
rines. The statement of Mr. Gladstone, as
|b anccllor of the Exchequer, is not unfavor
ed the financial condition of Great Britain
Tiiorc will be a surplus of revenue next year,
which he proposes to dispose of by the' abo-
I :.on of duties on wine and pepper, and an
Ipproprintion of half a million for the con-
| Mon of public debt into terminable nnnui-
Mr. Gladstone shows that this is a borrow-
I' ’ and debt-creating age. He states the
phtsof the leading nations, as follows:—
gland, £800,000,000; Prussia, £43,000,000;
Miami, £58,000,000; Russia, £279,000,000 ;
R’.ntria, £310,000,000; France, £400,000,000;
Ly, £152,000,000; Spain, £145,000,000;
Lflugal, £33,000,000; Turkey, £1,000,000—
| a1, £2,304,000,000; say equal to $11,520,-
.•).<*00: to which add the debt of the United
1' ii'S, $2.800,000,000—say a total of $14,320,-

In venue is not good. Acccording to Mr.

of three generations. So, in a bun

T '\ io complete the story by letting the port the President, just so long will the con-
.. -now that tho kidnappers were North- servative Republicans do the thing it com-
no t Southern men. j plains of, and they could do little else. This
~ ‘ is a self-evident truth, but the Northern De
mocracy seem not to sec it, have or the patriot
ism to adopt the only course that can save the
country under the circumstances.
Northern politics is the veriest piece of le
gerdemain ever invented by trickery and self
ishness. It is all for place, and the good of
the country has as little to do with their con
troversies as it lias to do with the size and
shape of the moon. The question is, which
faction shall enjoy the offices, and to this end
they ignore all principle and ply the people
with every imaginable form of device that
can catch votes. Truth has no place in the
argument, and patriotism is forgotten for the
time. Thus, no question involving tho wel
fare of the country can get a consideration on
its merits. No matter what heresy or ism
may take temporary possession of the popu
Jar mind, both parties fear to attack, and even
patronize it for fear of losing votes on the
day of election. Passion and prejudice take
the place of sober judgment and patriotism,
• In the present struggle of political parties
at the North wc find this discreditable state
of things existing in full force. If there ever
was a time when the interests of the country
should overrule all other considerations, it is
now; but in tbe midst of the national peril
the contestants con see nothing to induce
them to lay aside their selfishness and folly.
The result is most deplorable, and enough to
paralyze the hopes of the patriot There are
two parties on the side of the country, yet
both consent to remain powerless and let
everything go to perdition at the hands of a
revolutionary band of conspirators, just be
cause they fear by a union of forces one or
the other may triumph to tho exclusion of its
associate in the fight. They both agree that
the country is on the verge of a volcano, that
the Constitution is about to be overthrown
and a centralized despotism set up in the
stead of the benign government ol
our fathers, yet neither of them will
agree to unite and rescue the constitu
tion and the cause of free government. Tho
Democracy, who have been killed over and
again and arc but the ghost of a party, and a
frightful one at that, insist that everybody
must come to them or tho nation must go to
ruin. On the other hand the conservative
Republicans insist on preserving the Repub
lican organization and call npon the Demo
crats to abandon a threadbare standard and
rally around theirs, as the only hope of salva
tion. Bnt Democrats arc unwilling to forget
the ancient prestige of their party and rally
under Republican leaders, whilst Seward,
Weed and Raymond liarc too much pride to
follow in the lead of Sanlsbcrry, Dean Rich
mond, and Valhuuligham; and moreover they
believe they would be wrecked in chaining
themselves to a hulk that lias long since been
abandoned as unscaworthy and worthless.—
They not only refuse to unite with each other
under present flags, but they are both unwil
ling to come together under a new standard
that shall ignore the past and present a com
mon platform of living vital issues npon which
both can stand without a sacrifice of principle
or honor.
It is thus that the South is to lie stubbed
in the house of its friends. If she falls a vic
tim to perpetual tyranny and despotism, and
if tree government shall be overthrown in
this country, we shall be indebted to tbe pro
fessed friends of justice and tbe Constitution
for the dreadful consummation. What more
pitiable sight can there be than Conservatives
in Congress, after denouncing the revolution
ary measures of the Radicals, vote for every
one of them! What more ineffable folly—
enough to make the angels weep—can there
be than the political conventions at the
North for the vain purpose of trying to gal
vanize the rotten corpse of Democracy into a
renewed existence 1 And yet, in the midst of
these insane orgies, they revel and bellow
and shout as if the country was not going to
ruin, and chains were not forging for the
limbs of freemen. God holp us in oht ex
tremity!
What should be done f It is evident that
the Democratic party can, of itseif, do noth
ing for the salvation of the constitution and
the rights of the people. What then ? Why,
the next best thing, even though it should be
distasteful, provided it will arrest the down
ward tendency to ruin. This is no time to
hesitate at scruples, or be deterred from duty
by false notions of pride. The country
must be rescued from the hands of men who
would overthrow its liberties, and it must be
done in a peaceful way if possible, but at ev
ery hazard, done. If the Conservatives can
not go to the Democrats, let tho Democrats
go to the Conservative*, and with one common
leader—our heroic President—fight the bat
tles of the country, it matters not if under
a Republican flag. Names arc nothing,
things, principles everything. That much
abused name was onco the proud title of a
Jefferson, a Madison, a Clay and a Jackson,
and no man need be ashamed to own it when
fighting for the maintenance of just princi
ples and the perpetuity of free government.
The Democratic party have nothing to lose
by such an alliance. They have no repug
nant principles to adopt and a glorious mis
sion to perform. Their leading men may be
kept in the background for a time, but their
friends will constitute the majority of the
party and in due season they will share equi
tably in its honors. With such a reconstruc
tion, the Republican party would soon slough
ofl the Radicals, and wc shall have a fair
fight, in an open field and with issues well
defined; whilst tho result would bo read in a
rescued constitution and a redeemed country.

guage—or his own fluent Italian—furnish a
term of reprobation too strong to be applied
to such a wretch ? But to proceed: Bour-
ganani invested his newly acquird funds in
“business”—straw or millineiy goods, or
something of the sort—and openly “worked
hard,” but secretly “lived fast.” Utterly
destitute of thc finer instincts of humanity,
but familiar with all its grosser desires, beset
deliberately to accomplish a deed as black—
and as mean withal—as ever was conceived
in the soul of a scoundrel.
His adopted grand-daughter, thc blood
relative of his wife, the one who by her kind
word and introduction, had been the original
first cause of his good fortune, was a quiet,
rather pleasing, naturally open-hearted young
girl, easily influenced and warmly attached
to the Italian, whose intimate relationship
to her gave him every facility to increase
this attachment. To the ruin of this young
creature the former dancing master coolly
and calmly proceeded step by step, with a
caution and a stratagem worthy of a Macli-
ivellL He pretended indifference to her in
public, but won her affections in private—
was stern to her in tho presence of strangers,
particularly stern in the presence of his wife,
but won her by every seductive art as occasion
afforded. In consequence the girl was soon
taught to be an adept in deception; her once
pure mind was poisoned ; she became undu-
tiful, and unsuited to the duties of her sta
tion. At last she became an utter wreck,
preserving, however, as long as possible, the
semblance of purity.
People wondered at the strange relations
gradually arising between this ill-assorted
trio, but the proprieties of society were ob
served, and so, of course, society was satis
fied.
But the crisis came at last—thc crash—thc
terrible denouement.
Last week Bourganini.proceeded to Wash
ington, where he remained several days.—
Meanwhile the young grand-daughter was ob
served to be very restless, and evidently in ill
health. Gossip began to assert itself. Dame
Rumor employed a few of her thousand
tongues; but on Monday night last thc Ital
ian returned to New York and all was well.—
He, his wife and his grand-daughter took their
seats at thc table d'hotcl in the fashionable
boarding house in Clinton place (tlie last meal
those three will ever take together upon this,
earth), and all appeared in tlie highest spirits
—though in the hearts of two of the parties
there was thc damning knowledge of a vol
cano of crime nnd misery about to burst forth
and overwhelm the only guilty one of thc
three.
On Tuesday the grand-daughter left the
boarding house on the plea of visiting her
sister, nnd returned no more. Tuesday night
the poor wife, waited “all through the weary
hours in vain” fur the husband she was des
tined never more to see. On Wednesday af
ternoon there appeared in the papers, and also
in the morning papers of yesterday, a line
among the locals announcing the departure
for Europe (among others) of Mr. and Mrs.
A. Bouganani. This line, however, as always
happens, was not seen by those most inter
ested, and at 12 o’clock the end came.
It came in thc shape of a letter from thc
man Bourganani—a letter coolly written and
carefully worded, announcing his departure
to Europe—containing a few common-place
apologies for his baseness—and informing her
(her tlie loving woman to whom he owed his
all, owed, thc very coat on his base back, and
the very money with which he payed his pas
sage in the steamer, her who had given up thc
world and tbe world’s golden God for him.)
that if “she kept quiet” he having converted
all her property into cash and taken it with
him, would allow her the magnificent allow
ance of twenty dollars a week.
Yes, such was tbe end. The pauper danc
ing master whom she had married, introduc
ed into society, started in business and “made
a man of”—as far as such a wretch could be
made a man—had deceived her love, ruined
her child, deserted herself, robbed her, in the
eyes of society and heaven, if not ot the law,
and left her alone and penniless.
The false husband, thc unnatural relative,
thc liar and thief, with his unhappy victim,
have “gone to Europe.”
The law, we believe, cannot overtake them,
but at least the reprobation of society should,
alike here and abroad, be directed on thc
head of thc Italian villain, while thc heart
felt and most practical sympathy of the com
munity, both here andin Washington, should
be bestowed upon his uufortunate but most
estimable wife.

There was a particular design in Napoleon’s
going to Auxerre and making the little
speech to the workmen wliich has startled
Europe. Hc is demagogue enough to know
how and when to address the people, and
statesman enough to know how to say what
shall produce the effect he desires upon Eu
rope. The speech of M. Thiers gave tlie
real occasion for this bold statement of the
Emperor’s views, which he did not omit to
Improve. The former had deprecated, in the
Legislative Assembly, any present, and cer
tainly any violent disruption of the arrange
ments of 1815, made by thc Congress of Vicn-
na. picturing to the listening chamber the in- £
evitable results, as he viewed them, of con
solidating great powers in Germany and on
the Italian peninsula. Hc likened Frederick
William, in such a contingency, to the great
German Emperor, Charles V., and Napoleon
to Francis I. He expressed the sentiment
that the deliberate cutting up of the different
nationalities by the Vienna Congress, and the
parceling them out to one and another pettv
Prince and King, so as to preclude all fear of
their combining for national or popular ends, l
was a safer state of things for Europe than to | EaceGingcr ' 28 to

France. Tlie former he detested in its acts—
the latter were for him “the genius of France.”
Thiers did a good deal better thing for him
than the pistol of Karl Blind did for Von
Bismark. He gave him a coveted chance to
declare open war on the absolutist arrange
ment of 1815, and to gather to his standard
thc people of France.
In so far as the impending war is to be
waged for the sake of breaking up the old
legitimist theories, and throwing off the yoke
which Kings have sought to lay on the necks
ot thc people, wc of the United States will
not suffer ourselves to be so much prejudiced
against its immediate pretexts as to be blind
to its grand aims and tendency. We shall
rejoice to see the returning wave of revolu
tion sweep away every vestige of Kingcraft
and absolutism, leaving the peoplc ofEurope
free to enter upon the responsible experiment
of self-government. Napoleon may not in
his heart mean democracy, but he will have
just as much of that naked power of the na
tions developed as will suffice to demolish the
assumptions *of the Holy Alliance, and put
them underfoot forever. In this way will
St. Helena be avenged. Hc cares little to
vindicate to Europe a course of conduct
which visibly leads to such a war, when Eng
land notoriously picked quarrel after quarrel
with tho Great Emperor, ot whose overshad
owing influence on the continent sh£ was so
jealous. As she explained nothing, neither
does he. The event shall most properly be
its own exponent and interpreter.
Under the treaties of 1815, the map ofEu
rope was made a checker-board of, that no
ono power should feel itself strong enough to
attempt thc experiment of wliich the French
Emperor had set the example. Germany was
cut up into political plats, and saddled with
dukes and princes, whose titles constituted
about all their inheritance. It was arranged
so that Italy should never look up to a com
mon political head to direct its petty sover
eignties. An Austrian ruled in Tuscany.
Venetiawas governed by an imported author
ity. A small tyrant sat on thc little throne
of Naples. On all sides, France was hedged
about and hemmed in. The Bourbons were
to rule forever, and the alliance was so bind
ing in its terms as to take on the epithet
“ Holy.” Were Napoleon to betray no sign
of restiveness under all this, would be to
credit him with being as poor a politician as
he was destitute of a grand motive to inspire
his career.
If ho can bring about his determined end
without war, there will be no war. Or if,
after it shall once have begun, he can reach
the same without working general havoc
over the continent, he will arrest tbe work of
destructiod by a word. His is the only
tongue that can speak that word. He has
but to order his Marshals to march out into
Belgium and to take possession of the coun
try up to the Rhine, and all France will
crowd the ranks that hasten to establish the
new and long coveted frontier. That is what
this great commotion, among the nations is
to lead to, and England will have to accept
it as inevitable. There will be a powerful
Germany, an enlarged France, an united Ita
ly ; and the Vienna treaties will become but
relics of the past—Boston Post
