DOUBLE BACK ACTION. ,
Much was expected by tne over-saa
guiue among the Democracy from Wm.
Cullen Buy ant’s recent attacks upon the
Administration and Republican policy. '
Indeed, so much was expected that ■
“Cel.” Bryant received a tremendous 1
ovation, from the Club at the
han Is of Marble & Cos., on which oc
casion the venerable poet-editor feel- 1
inglv nominated, with his hand on his
heart and his finger on his nose,
Samuel J. Tilden as the “ next Demo
cratic President,” But a change has ■
come o’er the poet-editor’s dream, and
it may be that the Government print
ing so ruthlessly torn away has been
deftly restored. At any rate, the Even
ing post again takes up the cudgels for
the Republican party, and denouncing
all of those who are making corpse
like speeches over that organization,
thus gives the reasons for supposing
that the end is noc yet:
Usually it is easy for the people, having
lost confidence in one political organiza
tion, to transfer their favor and their votes
to another. Almost always, while the par
ty in power has been undergoing disinte
gration and decadence, the party in oppo
sition has been renewing its youth, avoid
ing and profiting by the mistakes of its ri
vals, and putting itself in a position to give
the people what they could not get from
them. In American politics, however, for
the last fifteen years, there has not been
such an opposition party, and it is by no
means certain that there will be one for an
indefinite number of years to come. The
Republicans have remained in office be
cause there has been nobody fit to succeed
them. Whatever the reason, it is an in
disputable fact that the people up to last
year refused to have anything to do
with tne Democrats. Rather than take
any risks with them, the people preferred
to trust the Republicans, with all their
faults and failures. We say the fact can
not be disputed, whatever the reason; but
the reason is very plain. If it be said
that Ihe people lost confidence in the Re
publican party some time since, it must
also be said that they lost confidence in
the Democratic party still longer ago.
What have the Democrats done to remove
the causes of that old dissatisfaction?
When new questions arose after the end
of the war and of slavery, did the Demo
crats offer the people a coherent and posi
tive policy in respect of them, or were
they as much at od s among themselves
as the Republicans ? Have the Democrats
opposed-are they .to-day opposing—the
Republicans clearly and positively on any
but what are substantially the old issues ?
Do the Democrats, wherever they have
shown their heads above the political flood
which submerged them fifteen years ago,
develop larger capacity or better tone
than the Republicans ? Do we discover
among fhe Democrats higher statesman
ship, purer public morals, moie intelligent
leadership, than among the Republicans?
Until these questions are satisfactorily
answered it must remain doubtful whether
the Republican party has really passed into
history.
The truth is that the Evening Post is
trimming its sails to steer right back
into the Radical harbor, from which it
darted out in a fit of spleen, which some
bilious people mistake for independent
patriotism. The determination of the
doctrinaires ot Radicalism, Wilson,
Blaine & Co.—the old architects of
abolition, war and reconstruction—to
reform the party in opposition to Grant
and make war on Democracy by an
other leader, has driven Mr. Bryant
and his Post back to their ancient fealty.
Just as the old, original Radical or
gans are sounding the slogan against
Grant, the Vice-President appears on
the scene and wrings his hands over
the nose-pulling his superior officer
gave him on the Bounty bill. We read
in the telegrams to the Western press
that “ Vice-President Wilson is very
much exercised and worked up by the
attempt of Grant and his followers to
make political capital out of the re
fusal of the President to sign the
Bounty bill, at the expense of Mr.
Wilson, Blaine and others. He de
clares that he will not allow the Presi
dent to make an ex parte statement to
go to the country in order to make
favor with the moneyed interests at
the expense of the million and a half
of soldiers who were to be its benefic
m
iaries, and that he will defend his own
action in voting for and signing the
bill after it was enrolled, and, if neces
sary, will appeal to the country. He
says that the statement of Comptroller
Bbodhead that the bill would have
taken $100,000,000 is not true, and that
the expenditure under the bill would
have been spread over a period of six
or seven years, and tho aggregate
amount would not have exceeded S7O,
000,000.
“ Mr. Wilson disclaims any anxiety
for the Presidency, but is down on the
third teim. He says that if Grant be
nominated there will be no at
all, and that the election will go by de
fault.”
All the signs of the times point to
the fact that there is a profound breach
in the Radical ranks, which will grow
wider and deeper if Southern Demo
crats especially do nothing to lose it
up. If it be true, according to Mr.
Wilson, that “if Grant be nominated
there will be no canvass at all, and that
the election will go by default,” it
stands to reason that the Democracy
should be rather anxious to favor the
Sphinx’s ambition and by no means
eager to defeat a nomination which
practically annihilates the Radical
party.
Dispersing Mobs. —Frequently in
Paris mobs have been dispersed by
cold water applications. The Courier-
Journal says “ half a dozen streams of
cold water were recently turned loose
upon a Chicago mob. Finding that the
water was not whiskey, and therefore
something new to them, the rascals
immediately scattered in disgust.”
The Freedman’s Bank.— lf the ne
gro depositors ever get a single dollar
out of the broken Freedman’s Bank,
they will be luckier than we take them
to be. Some of the blacks expect
Uncle Sam to reimburse them. Very
likely he will after they get “forty
acres and a mule.”
Beggars.— Forty-nine defeated Con
gressmen, of the Republican persua
sion, are begging Grant for foreign
missions and suits of old clothes.
Rapid Transit. —The Chicago Tribune
thinks, under the French process, the
Beecher-Tilton trial would have ended
a month ago. In France, the Tribune,
says, the Judge summons the witness- 1
es, and all the witnesses. In this case
hewruld have immediately summon
ed Beecher and Mrs. Beecher, Tilton
and Mrs. Tilton, Bessie, the Wood
hull, Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Cady
Stanton, and every one else cognizant
of any facts in the case, and would
have first questioned them himself,
sharply and severely, and then turned
them over to counsel for further exam
ination. All relevant questions would
have been allowed. No technical ob
jections would have been allowed.
Thus witness after witness would have
been rapidly sifted down to the very
roots of his or her knowledge, and
every fact in the case, big and little,
would have been brought to light.
The Anglo-Saxon form of trial is con
ducted upon the basis of excluding,
concealing and covering up testimony ;
the French brings every fact, pro and
con., to the light. It is a good thing
for Beecher, however, because it gives
“ the old man a chance.”
The French seem to beat us on law,
money-making, finance and every
thing else, even in experiments with
the Republican form of government.
The Model Statesman.— Hon. Proc
tor Knott has been lecturing at the
North on the “Model Statesman.”
Here is his pen picture of that Ameri
can institution, the professional poli
tician :
He loves his country with a passionate
devotion, but he loves jt because of its ad
mirable and unfailing system of gathering
its revenues into the Public Treasury. He
loves it because of the regularity and cer
tainty with which its munificent appropri
ation bills are passed, and the promptness
with which they receive the Presidential
signature. He loves it because of the lib
eral salaries with whicli it rewards its de
voted, self-sacrificing, servants, and the
promptness with which it pays them. He
loves it for its subsidies, its jobs, its rings
and its lobby privileges. He loves it for
the cheapness anddui'ability of its “white
wash,” and for the even and liberal hand
with which it is applied to persecuted pat
riots by its ingenuous and justice-loving
committees ot investigation; for with him
the first great commandment is to “get an
office,” and the second is like unto it, “ put
money in thy purse ” Upon these two
com.mandments, in his estimation, hang all
the law and the profits!
The Commune. —Driven to despera
tion, many of the New Orleans me
chanics have determined to elect men
to office who would be acceptable to all
classes of people, since they ascribe
the ills which had fallen upon the
working people to the inefficiency and
fraud of men in office.
A Mr. Scully addressed a meeting of
workingmen, and said that he “con
sidered the bondholders the oppressors
1 of the people. He continued by refer
; ring to tho Internationals and Com
; munists, anu declared that it was the
> duty of the workingmen to vindicate
j industry and crush out aristocracy.”
5 This looks badly. If the laboring
men voted for honest men instead of
f bummers, all over the country, matters
> would improve.
Bar Rooms. —The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun says
Gen. Butler received recently a letter
from the South, written in behalf of a
number of colored persons, inquiring
whether, under the Civil Rights bili,
negroes have not the privilege of the
accommodations of bar rooms. He
has replied to the effect that the Civil
Rights bill does not confer such privi
lege ; that only white people have the
right to get drunk in bar rooms, and
that he hopes never to hear of colored
people endeavoring to thrust them
selves into such places.
“Ring." —The Milledgeville Union and.
Recorder, speaking of Treasurer Jones,
says:
Perhaps", he has offended some of the
Atlanta ring by refusing to supply them
with money when they demanded it. It is
well known that this ring considers the
State Treasury a lemon which they have a
right to squeeze whenever they wish. If
so, the trouble can be accounted for at
once, for it is well known that that ring,
unfortunately, frequently controls legisla
tion.
Who are the men of the Ring who
live on the public teat ?
A. J.—The man who moved the im
peachment of President Johnson was
“Jim ” Ashley, of Ohio. The “original
Jim ” was in the Senate when the “ only
Johnson ” went up to take the oath.
He tells how he felt when A. J. was
sworn in, thus:
I was heartily glad to see Mr. Johnson
sworn in. When each Southern Senator
who appeared except himself, was obliged
to take an oath denoting that he had borne
arms against the Government in the rebel
ranks, it was a great relief to see Andy
Johnson step forward and designate the
iron-clad oath as the one to be administer
ed to him.
Hurrah for Andrew Johnson !
New Hampshire. —Col. Bonn Piatt, in
his delightful paper, the Washington
Capital, hits the nail on the head, when
he says “the late election in New
Hampshire is particularly unpleasant
to both Democratic and Republican
parties. In it the Democrats do not
find the tidal wave so powerful as it
was, while the Republicans are search
ing with microscopes for proof of a re
action. It puts both sides on their
good behavior.”
Helas !—And now it is recorded that
at the Woolwich examinations a York
shire boy beat the Prince Imperial
badly in his knowledge of French, es
pecially French grammar.
The baptism of fire seems to have
been no greater failure than the bap
tism of French.
Cremation. —The council of the Cre
mation Society have, we learn, made a
tangible progress toward accomplish
ing their object. A piece of ground has
been secured for the erection of a build
ing in which the religious rites can bo
performed prior to the incinerating pro
cess. The estimated cost of the pro
posed building is $3,500, towards which
SI,OOO has been promised. Further
subscriptions are requested.
