Demorntlc Victories.
Following close upon the Democratic tri
umph in California, says the New York World,
“comes the news of another victory in Montana
—the election of Cavanaugh, the Democratic can
didate for delegate to Congress, by an over
whelming vole. The Territorial Legislature,
elected last year, is also overwhelmingly Demo
cratic. The Democrats have eleven of the thir
teen members of the Council, and twenty-two
of the twenty-six members of the House—a ma
jority of twenty-seven in both Houses. Bo that
Montana was not likely to go—as, indeed, she
has not gone—astray. Her people are of the
same class of energetic, patriotic, sensible men
—representative, and the flower of the whole
country—who have .just redeemed the Coldcn
Suite."
And following close upon the democratic vic
tory in Montana, comes the news of the Maine
election, the most /startling of all to the Radical
Party, North and South, that has been proclaim
ed since Connecticut some time ago took the
lead in redeeming, regenerating, and disenthrall
ing herself from the domineering rule of radical
lllack Republicanism. Recently, we said to our
readers, that the “signs of the times” indicated
a coining deliverance of the South and the whole
country, from the despotic and iron rule of the
radical despotism that has so afflicted both for
the past two years. To-day w T e are encouraged
to re assure both, North and South, of that de
liverance. The “hand-writing upon the wall”
in ancient times was not more significant to
prophetic inspiration, than are these late elec
tions to the parti/ that, in its supremacy, has
trampled upon the Constitution of the country,
and well nigh eradicated every principle of good
government in it. The radical Relshazzvirs of
that party may well tremble at the retribution
which must sooner or later overtake them.—
“Living,” they have failed to even "purchase"
a “fair renown,” while “ doubly dying,” their
late must be that of all demagogues and despots,
to “ go down ”
“To the vile diistl. Irom whence they sprung.
Unwept, uubonored, mid unsung.’’
Connecticut and California! These form the
base of that Democratic pyramid which will ere
long embrace tlio names of States and Territo
ries enough to restore the Union and the Consti
tution. Montana, though a Territory, has done
her part—her people have spurned radicalism;
that is glory enough. And should the good peo
pie of Maine overcome the twenly-ciglit thou
sand radical majority bestowed upon that party
some twelve months ago, who can fail to see in
such an event the will of a beneficent Providence
aud of returning reason among them ?
The Maine ICIccllon.
The following special telegrams to the New
York World will interest the readers of this jour
nal—more than anything else we can place be
fore them that will occupy no more space :
Augusta, Mi:., Sept. ft.—Advices from differ
cut parts of the State indicate large Democratic
gains. The Radicals are astounded at the inde
pendent moving of the masses, which seems t<
he beyond control. Democratic gains arc re
ported in Portland, Bangor, Gardiner, Pitlston
Augusta, as well as in other leading cities.—
Chamberlain, the Radical candidate lor Con
gress, will not receive a majority of more than
from live to eight thousand, against twenty-eight
thousand of last year. Heavy Democratic gains
are being made in members of the Legislature,
and Maine is doing nobly.
Augusta, Ms., Sept. 9.—Radicalism lias cul
minuted in Maine. To-day the Radical party
lias received a blow from which it can never re
cover. Chamberlain, the Radical candidate lor
Congress, has had his immense majority of last
year, which was rising '-57,000, cut down at least
iwo-tliirds. Should the returns which are yet
to come in show such heavy losses, the Radical
majority will not he over 5,000 votes.
Pillsburyjlhc Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, has swept the State like wild-fire. In
every place of importance from Kittery to Pas-
snmaquoddy, the Radicals have met with im
mense losses. York, Lincoln, Knox and Aroos
took counties have been wj'enehcd from the
clutch of lannticism, aud will give us a repre
sentation of seven in the State Senate (all com
plete gains) to t wenty-four Radicals. There is
also a prospect of carrying Washington county.
In the House, which Is composed of one hun
dred aud fil'ly-one members, we count on having
a majority, against thirteen last year. The Radi
cals are completely astounded at the result.—
The Democracy are iu a great state of rejoicing,
as well they may be, and to-night the latch-
string is out.

What I)o They Indicate ?
The rows that are almost daily transpiring in
some one of the several cities of the South, be
tween United States troops and negro freedmen
are indicative of something, but what, is the ques
lion. Recently, one of these rows occurred in
this city—here, the headquarters of the Military
Commandant of District No. 3, almost within
reach of his hearing. The row, too, was one
perilous to life and property, causing much ex
citement to prevail among the freedmen, who,
on tlic succeeding day and night, prepared them
selves with “munitions ol war” for defense or of
fense, as occasion should require. Fortunately,
the occasion did not arise, as .it. seldom does,
where “dint of preparation’’ becomes known to
parties on either side, eager otherwise for a fray.
We scarcely pick up one ot our Southern ex
changes that does not contain accounts of simi
lar rows in some locality. Here is one which a
telegram from Richmond announces:
Richmond, September 10.—A telegram from
Farmville to-night reports a fight this morning
between some soldiers of the 2 1 st United States
troops and the town negroes. The soldiers had
beaten a colored man for refusing to sell them
liquor last night, aud this morning were about to
beat another, when the negroes rallied, and a
fight ensued. The citizens closed their stores,
and a company ot soldiers were sent in from
camp and restored order. Oue soldier was stab
bed in the melee, and about a dozen soldiers and
blacks badly beaten.
And here is another account, from Charleston,
of a recent row occurring in that city on the
night of the 13th instant:
Row tn Princess-steet.—Some disturbance
was created last night in King-street, opposite
Princess-street, by a brickbat light between ne
groes and soldiers. It was occasioned by a
negro soldier butting up against a white soldier,
and the. latter knocking the tormer down. A
charge of the police with their clubs caused the
streets to be cleared without bloodshed. The
police visited several establishments in Princess-
si feet where it was supposed soldiers were loiter
ing and crowds of negroes assembled at times in
King-street until 11 o’clock, but there was no
serious result.
Of what then is all this indicative? Why
should the United States troops and the negroes
engage in quarrels and fights, dealing death the
one upon the other in many eases? We have
but one answer to give to the query. It is but
the beginning ol that war of races—but the evi
dence of that antagonism which exists between
the two races—which will develope itself In
greater horrors wherever aud whenever attempts
arc made to force social equality between the two,
or to elevate the negro above the white men.—
Even the United States troojis will not stand such
an infliction upon the white race. This is evi
dent from the rows that are daily transpiring
between them and the negro; and this, of itself,
ought to teach the Rtulicul Republican Party a
lesson, if nothing else will. Southern white men
ami the freedmen get along well enough, and
would get along much better it let alone by radi
cal d< i)Mffa;/ues, and Freed men's Bureaus. If the
military authorities iu <>ur midst would direct
more of their attention to these two nuisances
in the South, confine the latter especially to their
duties under the law, and put a stop to the men
dacious and insurrectionary teachings of tlie
latter in their midnight conclaves, we would all
have a I letter time of it with the freedmen, and
hear of fewer rows between them and the United
States troops stationed iu the South for the pre
servation ot peace and the promotion of recon
struction bv the “best government in the world.”

and, also, to bear true faith and allegiance to our P®°pl p » and insult to their feelings, by a pal-
thc same, aud to tiie Government thereunder, : I' a, *te misrepresentation of their mental, moral,
and political condition. His allegations are in
substance—that the white people of bis district j
have “sluggish minds,” the effect of slaveiy;
that we do not adjudge questions by the princi
ples they involve, but exclusively by their effects
upon jxrsons; and that onr condition is such,
that in “ five yeans” <>ur funner slaves will be
onr equals.
These accusations are for the most farrowed
from the ravings of run-mad abolitionists, who
have long since abandoned and become ashamed
of them. Wendell Phillips or Lloyd Garrison
would now feel disgraced by their utterance.—
The only thing in all of it,that smacks of original
ity, is purely speculative, and this is worthy of
General Pope’s philosophical turn of mind. It is
the time a corn-field darkey would require, to
overtake in all the arts of civilization, his old
master, who has perhaps graduated at the best
English or American Universities. He thinks
five years will suffice. Like all other men, he is
entitled to his own opinion, with the burthen of
responsibility it imposes. If, in the judgment of
sensible men, it proves him non compos Mentis,
or something worse, he must take the conse
quences. Some assertions are too ridiculous for
refutation. They disprove themselves by their
palpable absurdity, anil such are those General
Pope makes; but as he seems to have forgotten
history, we will, at the expense of our own
self-respect, condescend to refresh his recollec
tion.
Among men as among animals there are good,
bad, and indifferent stock. This is owing, as
naturalists say, to “ the blood.” Nature will he
true to herself, and “blood will tell,” in spile of
every effort to prevent it., including even radical
legislation. The God of nature had made the
white superior to all the colored races, and this
law no human effort can reverse. And among
the white races there are grades of differences,
some being superior to others. Judging from
what they have accomplished, the Anglo-Saxons
are the favored ol the white race, but from these
have sprung classes ot men with a variety ol
qualities—some for good and some for harm,
which have been transmitted to tlieir children.—
The Cavalier aud the Puritan are as well mark-,
ed at this day, as in the times of Charles I., and
of Cromwell. The former conservative and
having respect lor the established order of things,
the result. (>t the wisdom of ages. The latter
radical and revolutionary. The people ol the
North and South, now respectively represent the
characteristics of tlieir parent stock. The latter
in the general, are descended Irom English,
Cavaliers, French, Huguenots, and Scotch Irish.
To this is to be added the French acquired by
i he purchase of Louisiana. The former are
mainly of Dutch and Puritan origin. The one
began and the other continued tlic slave trade,
and hath proved themselves experts in bringing
the ancestors ot the present colored radical
voters—"■nun and, brothers"—from their native
jungles. They were apt scholars and ingenious
men, and are distinguished for their invention of

FROM TIIE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Attorney General s OrricK, I
September 10. lsr;?. (
Sir—I herewith furnish you with an official
copy ot the proclamation of the President of the
United States, dated the 3d instant, and in the
niuety-seeond year of American independence;
This proclamation recites in brief the obliga- i
lions of loyally to the Republic, and was intend- j
c-d to admonish you, in common with all persons i
holding any place ot honor, trust or profit, civil \ sa y s
or military, at home oi abroad, under the United IU .\ yesterday, Gen. Grant being present, and j
States of America, and all good citizens thereof, ! thus practically refuting tbe roorback
that the Constitution of their country is in force, j had determined to absent himself from such
and that the Government thereunder, with its ' meetings, unless military business rendered it |
Severn! co-ordinate branches, legislative, oxecu- , absolutely necessary. The Cabinet consultation
tive* ana judicial, is the only lawful Government
for this republic, notwithstanding that manv
well-meaning citizens have in consequence of
disturbing events, that are now happily past, j ♦
came to look with indulgence upon false and Tin: New Maryland Constitution.—Ad-
dangerous pretences that the Constitution vice Irom various portions of Maryland indicate
the supreme law of the Had, and also the most that the new constitution will be adopted on
authentic proof of the will of the people; but 1 November 5th, by 20,000 or 30.000 majority. It
there are powers of govern incut outside ot the will be double that if the Radicals carry outlnir
tlic slave trade as a way of money making, which
led to the “middle passage” with all ol'its
“horrors.” Having made all possible out ot
that, they attempt now to make more by manu-
lacturing the descendants of the original African
into voters, indiscriminately, for their own uses,
among which uses is the confiscation ol the
lands of the descendants of those, to whom they'
sold their slaves, and whose money they have ob
tained and invested in manufactures and com
merce, as a punishment for the sin ot having
been pa rticeps crim in is. i his is as good Puritan
morals as was practiced in the execution of
Strafford and Charles, and the prosecution of their
followers, or in their treachery to Phillip, or in the
banishment of Roger Williams. In the name of
humanity, they enslaved men, aud now, iu the
name ot humanity, they propose to rob men.—
For their own selfish ends they play upon the
credulity, ignorance and vanity of tlic negroes,
notwithstanding they know the natural effect of
their conduct is to produce a horrrible war of
races, in which they also know the poor delud
ed negroes will be exterminated. They will be
come the chief actors in their destruction. The
lands the negroes cultivate, the clothes they wear,
the bread they eat, will be temptation enough
to Yankee love of money to collect them to
gether in pens, and send them under guard ot
Yankee bayonets to some wilderness spot set
apart to them, away across the great Father of
of Waters, and far towards the setting sun. The
same war they make upon the masters, is in re
serve lor the poor negroes, after those masters
shall have been disposed of iu a manner satis
factory to Yankee cruelty and malignity. But
all this is in parenthesis. We did not intend to
make out a catalogue of Puritan crimes and mis
demeanors. This would take more labor than
we have to bestow, tor the history of nearly
three centuries is full of them. We only in
tended to show for General Pope’s benefit that
the Southern parent stock would not suffer iu
comparison with the Northern.
In the times of our first revolution George
Washington, a Southern man and slaveholder,
was by both North and South assigned the first
place in the grand drama then performed, and
cotemporaneous and subsequent history says,
without dissent, he well-sustained that distinc
tion, and reflected the highest honor upon his
countrymen—so much so, that at this day En-
lishmen claim a share ol the glory and honor
as part of their inheritance. Our famous De
claration of Independence was from the pen
and mind of Thomas Jefferson, another South
erner aud slaveholder, while Benjamin Franklin,
John Adams, and Roger Sherman, three of the
r<eg best Northern men, were on the committee
with him. Our whole cause probably would
have been lost bad it not been for Virginia and
Virginia slaveholders. So much for the “slug
gish minds” of our revolutionary ancestry. In
the war of IS 12 the two most conspicuous names
in our military uunals of the field, are Andrew
Jackson aud Winfield Scott. Iu the Mexican
war Southerners shone forth with the same
splendor, tor General Scott and Zachary Taylor
are its heroes. Iu oar late sad civil war; the
only men whose exploits gave evidence of a
high order of military genius, were Stonewall
Jackson, Bedford Forrest, and John B. Gordon,
and the U.~t General in chief ot either side, was
Robert E. Lee. This last assertion, General
Pope is estopped from denying, for at the “Se
cond Manassas” he (Gen. P.) was compelled by
General Lee and his soldiers rapidly to remove |
his “saddle headquarters” within protection ol j
the defenses ol Washington City. Those Gen
erals last mentioned were ad Southerners and
si a vehohlers. It they achieve so much with their
“sluggish minds," there is no calculating what
they ought have accomplished, if they had
had active Yankee minds, so as to he sharp
fit ,i fat-quin. What is true of Southern
slaveholders. Webster, the Northern statesman,
at various times, on great questions, encountered
Calhoun, but gained no victory over him, not
withstanding his "sluggish mind.” The just
and impartial of this day, who are capable ol
judging aud are governed by' reason, give prece
dence to Calhoun upon tbe merits of their great
debate. The war and its consequences demon
strate that Calhoun’s theory ot the Government
was correct. His theory may have proven that
we had a had, or a ucik Government, but never
theless it was a triumphant and a faithful repre
sentation. Webster gained his greatest fame in
his debate with Havne, a Southerner, and a
younger man, and we will leave it to any unpre
judiced aud capable judge, to say it Hayne’s
apostrophe to South Carolina is not as able aud
eloquent os Webster’s to Massachusetts, notwith
standing Welisteris was in reply, and, therefore,
had the “advantage of position. - " We do not,
however, intend to detract in the slightest from
Webster. He was not, in fact, a “ representative
man” of his section, but was, in every' respect,
whether we judge him mentally, morally, intel
lectually'. or physically, an exception. He tower
ed so tar above men generally in all bis qualities
of mind and person, as to gain for himself the
name of “the God-like.” He lived to see, with
deep mortification, the principles of the Consti
tution in immediate danger ol subversion. He liv
ed to see his party pass into the control of fanatics,
and politicians, ot the Seward School. In Ids
day Southern Statesmen still had their impress
upon the Government, and the days of “rule or
ruin,’’ had not arrived. He lived to see himself,
set aside by his party because bis love for the
Constitution and the Union, had made him un
available Yankee cunning cupidity had become
a substitute for Yankee patriotism aud intellect,
and we have the result. As was true ot the emi
nent men of the South, so it was of the South
ern masses, for the Southern Warriors, Judges
and Statesmen, ot whom we speak, were repre-
senta ive men.” But it is not necessary to make
invidious comparisons, nor are we inclined to do
so although Gen. Pope has by the terms of his
letter invited it. Virtues are confined to no one
man, nor “any set of men.” All people, and
nationalities have their good and bad. The
North has had her fair share of the good, but
now it seems these are in a small, sad, and help
less minority'. Bad,aud dangerous principles have
found their way beyond the press, even into the
sanctum of their preacher and the study of the
Professor. These seem to emulate Margrave,
Bulwer’s hero ot the “strange story,” who was
a refined and cultivated man but had no soul;
was therefore a very devil. True to the procli
vities of tlieir ancestors, they overlook tlieir own
sins, to punish us for ours, and, for ours, accord
ing to their selfish and arbitrary standard. Ar-
temus Ward say's facetiously, but truly, “they
came to this country to enjoy tlieir own religion,
aud to prevent everybody else enjoying his."
From the examples and arguments we have
offered, and they are known to Gen. Pope, ought
he not, in plain language, to he ashamed of him
self,Tor having published over his august signa
ture, such miserable cant, and slang. These could
have no other effect, than either to please the
radical faction, or to make, on his helpless sub
jects, another slight turn of liis imperial screw.
In either case, such sentiments detract from his
character as a Gentleman. Selfishness—if no
better motive, should have restrained him. He
and all other men in power should realize there
is one forum, over which the military despot lias
no power, either now or hereafter, and that, re
posed in the hearts and consciences ot Gentle
men everywhere. Man may have riches, powers,
and every worldly honor,- but he will be a fail
ure. unless he can i>as.s unharmed through
the crucible, which tests the true gentle
man. The standard of this is that nice sense of
honor runniug with a sense ot duty, which
scorns to commit a wrong. No man in. history
can be more famous tliau Lord Bacon and the
Duke oi Marlborough, and yet in their day, and
in this, the fact that they forfeited their title to
the name of gentlemen, is a stain on tlieir char
actors, that neither the glory' of their achieve
ments, nor the memory of them, can take out.
And even that illustrious sovereign, George the
Fourth, who was named by his toadies, the “first
gentleman of Europe,” was really no gentleman,
because lie tarnished his whole reputation by'
many well known mean and contemptible acts.
And what is more in point, is the history ol
Warren Hastings, who, although he was never
legally convicted of his atrocities in India, was
morally so, in the minds of all true gentlemen,
then and now. The people of that distressed
country' despise his memory, and the British
public say, Amen ! How much better and sweeter
is it to be like Gleaveland, another Indian Gov
ernor, who ruled in mercy and kindness, and to
whom “tiie people have built a monument, aud
still hold a religious feast iu his memory.” The
people of the South are now proscribed, but as
always, sooner or later, there must be a change.
That change will bring with it reward for the
good aud retribution for I lie bad. The man who
lives entirely for the day aud the emergency, is
short-sighted, and before he dies will discern it
to his sorrow. But the man who acts according
to well-established principles in every emergency,
will have a peace of conscience above price, and
on him will lie pronounced by everybody, the
benediction ot, “Well done good and faithful ser
vant.”
We conclude this hastily written communica
tion with a quotation from Sir James McIntosh’s
lectures on the “Laws of Nature and of Nations.”
In speaking of Grolius; he says of him :
“In 1 he midst of ail the hard trials and galling
•provocations ot a turbulent political life, he
never once deserted his friends when they were
uutortunate, nor insulted his enemies when they
tcere weak."
It is left to Gen. Pope to draw the comparison
between himself and Grotius, and to make the
application. Confederate.
ing to about $160,000. A splendid structure was
reared, capable of accommodating hundreds of
young men, aDd an elegant outfit was provided
for the institution in the way ot apparatus and
appliances of instruction. Thus, within about
twelve or fifteen months, there was procured
from the Methodist community alone, in -the
State ot Alabama, the sum of about four hun
dred thousand dolLirs to be appropriated to the
education ot young men. About the same time
the Methodists were building, at Tuskegee, Ala.,
one of tlic finest college edifices in the South,
at a cost ot about $35,000 to $-10,000. These
are striking facts, and go tar toward proving the
absorbing interest of our people in securing the
highest advantages of education.
But not only did the people furnish the money
to build and endow these colleges, but they ral
lied to their support with great unanimity. The
Tuskegee Female College enrolled about two
hundred and sixty pupils within a twelvemonth
after its opening. The Auburn Male College
opened in October, 1859, and at once took rank
with far older institutions. It received, in all its
departments, two hundred and forty four pupils
during its first year’s existence. Of this num
ber, one hundred and three were in the coliege
proper. Now, in IS50, as yonr contributor is
well aware, the census returns of 133 American
colleges showed the average attendance upon
them all to lie only 115 pupils. If you throw
out ot the list such old and long-established iu
stitutious as Harvard, (founded 1630,) Yale,
(1700,) Rutgers, 1770,) and others ot the same
grade, the average annual patronage ot the re
maining 113 colleges is reduced to ninety-three
pupils. Here, then, in heathen Alabama, within
tiiat benighted region stigmatized by General
Pope, springs up a .Male College, splendidly en
dowed, with a patronage during its first year ex
ceeding, by ten pupils, the average attendance
of 113 reputable American colleges, many of
them more than a half century old! Docs this
evince ignorance and want of interest in educa
tion ?”
True it is, that these noble young institutions,
promising so much and such exalted usefulness
to our country, have been well-nigh ruined by
the late war. Auburn College has lost nearly
all its liaudsome endowment. Yet it re-opened
in September, I860, with Rev. J. F. Dowdell as
President; and, amidst all the ruin and desola
tion around us, received a patronage of seventy
boys during the collegiate year. This is a num
ber greater than can be found in Ihe catalogues
of 44 out of the 133 American colleges betore
alluded to. And I am happy to say, iu conclu
sion, that there is an abiding purpose, on the
part of the friends of learning, to sustain and
re-edify tiie Auburn College. To this end, they
have adopted a plan like that which Bishop Geo
F. Pierce has proposed, iu your Stale, for help
ing the Emory Methodist College, at Oxford
Ga. A Relief Association lists been organized
with D. Browder, of Montgomery, Ala., as Pro
sident, of which the members agree to pay $30
per annum, for five successive years, beginning
January 1,1868, for the support of the college.
This course is adopted as a temporary expedi
ent, with the firm assurance that our people are
determined—all adverse agencies to the contrary
notwithstanding—to support our collegiate insti
tutions as soon as their poverty and destitution
will allow. Begging indulgence, I am yours
most respectfully, George W. F. Price.

[FOR THE ATLANTA INTFI.LISKNCER. ]
Communicated.
Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 10th, 1867.
1 sympathize entirely and heartly with your
laborious and well-informed correspondent, in
his efforts to vindicate the Southern people Irom
the grave allegations of writers, who charge ns
not merely with ignorance and illiteracy, but
with supine indifference to ihe claims of liberal
education. His familiarity with accredited
sources of statistical information renders him
quite competent to the task which he has un
dertaken. 1 trust you will pardon me for ad
ducing $pme facts wlich serve strongly to cor-
roliorate his views, aid to prove the profound
and intelligent iuterst of Southern people in
the education of their children. I say, pardon
me, for it may seem superfluous to attempt to
add to the already conclusive array of figures
brought forward by ymr contributor. Tbe tacts
to which 1 intend, by yonr kind permission, to
allude, were presentee by a committee on edu
cation to a recent district, meeting of tbe Metho

A Glance Abroad.
We notice the following articles in the Balti
more Gazette, of the 9th instant. We present
them to onr readers that they may be relieved
somewhat from tiie dull monotony ol affairs in
the South, and take a glance at affairs abroad
The first article in regard to France and Austria
gives an interesting account of the “ situation
of Continental Europe; the other refers to East
era Asia;
The interview at Salzburg between Louis Na
poleon and Franz Joseph is, to say the least of
it, a most significant one. The result of their
conference may, for some time to come, remain
a mystery to the public. There may be no posi
tive engagements either of an offensive or defen
sive character officially entered into, and there
may be no immediate important influences ex
erted upon the political state of Europe. No
oue, however, can doubt, tor a moment, that the
meeting has an object and that real object is tbe
cementing of the alliance between Austria and
France and the establishment of a more cordial
understanding between these two powers. Austria
is in a most critical condition. She has been
humiliated and shorn ol her glory; she has been
cut off from powerful alliances, and deprived of
a portion of her provincial domains. She stands
alone, with uo one to look to but France. Prus
sia, insolent, overbearing, and aggressive, flushed
with success, still threatens her on the north,
and covertly, it is supposed, cherishes further
schemes of annexation ; while Russia, powerful
and imposing, and in perfect accord with Prus
sia, threatens Austria at her nearest point—her
southeastern frontier. Tiie most liberal policy
that could be pursued, and the greatest indul
gence that could be shown, could not. wipe out
at once from Hungary the memory of tlic wrongs
and the oppression to which she has so long been
subjected, and Austria cannot, in reason, expect
an undivided support from a people amongst
whom she has sown the seeds ot hatred and an
tagonism, during years of harsh and impolitic
treatment. Menaced by Prussia on the one
hand, and by' Russia on the other, and not per
fectly assured ot the support of her chief, pro
vince at home, it is not astonishing that Austria
should use every exertion to establish relations
of a most friendly character with so powerful a
country as France.
As far as France is concerned, its position is
far from being as satisfactory to the French Em
peror as lie could desire. For several years past
his foreign policy has been nothing but a series
of blunders. He permitted Prussia to aggran
dize herself by the spoliation ot Denmark, and
at the same time he weakened himself by the
Mexican expedition, which he had not the man
hood to carry out, at the very time when he
should have been most powerful at home. He
sees now Prussia, proud and insolent from suc
cess, her affairs conducted by a bold and master
mind, already the most powerful nation in Eu
rope, threatening the peace of tlie continent and
the disturbance ot that balance of power, on the
preservation of which, by a sort of hereditary
political myth, it is presumed abroad that the
.very existence of the world depends. Backed
by'Russia, the influence of Prussia may well be

according to the European system. The reac
tionists known as the “ toad-iu-the-well P ar Y
have sunk to tbe bottom of their circular slia ,
croaking dismally and despairingly. Fresh ports
have been opened fa*' foreign commerce. Ja
panese embassadors, Japanese commissioners,
and queer looking Japanese jugglers have cross
ed the Pacific to investigate the progress ot other
countries in the arts and sciences, and to teach
new tricks in legerdemain. China, too, has yield
ed at last to the pressure put upon her by ‘ the
out-side barbarians.” Innumerable pigtails wag
in the streets of Sau Francisco, bob up and
down at the mines of tbe interior, or straighten
stiffly as tbe tan-colored laborer plies pick
and spade among the gorges of tbe Sierra
Nevada. The Cbiuese Government itself has
abandoned its exclusiveness, and has cast aside
the traditional bow and arrow and the old
lumberin'* cannon, for muskets of tbe newest
patera and for rifled artillery. The terrible stand
ard of the dragon aud the noisy tom-tom are still
retained Even stink-pots hold their places as a
means of defence. But, iu other respects, there
is a marked progress. The august Brother to
the Sun and Moon is no longer the inapproacha
ble being that Sir Stamford Raffles and other en
voys and ambassadors extraordinary once found
him to he. A Russian College has been estab
lished at Peking; European officers are graciously
permitted to lead Imperial troops against the re
bels; a Mr. Hart is at the head of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue; and now, mirabile dictu! a
decree lias been issued in the name of the
your* Emperor establishing a university, the
faculty ot which is to be composed of foreign
professors. When the proposition first came
betore the Grand Council, the sleepy old man
darins opened tlieir almond-shaped eyes
with tiie profoiindest astonishment. Tbe Pro
vincial magnates thought the world was
coining to an end. Learned bodies in various
parts of tbe Empire vehemently protested against
the innovation. “The traditions of Zon and
Shun were in danger; the doctrines of Conln-
cius inperited, and the dignity'of the Celestial
Empire lost, if the flower ot Chinese intellect
should be placed under the tuition ot foreigners.”
The venerable Wqjir, the nestor of Cabinet
Ministers, was indignant at tlic bare idea that any
outside barbat ian should be supposed to know
more than a learned celestial. For a time it
looked as it the opposition were to be successful;
but Prince Kung, by a happy suggestion, baffled
the stubborn Wqjir and brought him to
terms. Assuming from the tenor of the me
morial presented by the latter, that he be
lieved in the ability of native professors to
teach the arts and sciences quite as well as
professors of foreign birth, Prince Kung issued
another decree, authorizing Wqjir to establish a
second university, whose faculty should be com
posed wholly of native teachers, anil thus jput
the question fairly to the test of experiment.—
Caught completely in the foils by this adroft
stroke of policy, Wqjir entreated to be excused,
and finally was brought to confess that “ be
knew no one iu China who was capable of giv
ing instruction in astronomy and mathematics.’
Since that surrender matters have worked
smoothly. Before long a university on the Ett
ropean plan will be established in Peking, and
Chinese students from all parts of the Empire
are expected to go there to matriculate. Who
says that the world of Eastern Asia is not

Ou the other hand, while France is distrustful
of Prussia, Prussia is equally so of France.—
Louis Napoleon is after all but a per com Empe
ror. He maintains his position by the prestige
of success and in order to retain it he cannot
afford to lose that prestige which, unfortunately,
he has already so sadiy lessened. Prussia looks
with uneasiness towaids the Rhine and regards
with distrust the military preparations which are
going on in France. In Berlin the interview at
Salzburg is watched with extreme suspicion and
throughout the Western part of Prussian Ger
many the actions of the French Emperor are
viewed with great uneasiness. Nothing is more
indicative of the very unsettled state ot Euro
pean affairs than the extremely low rate of in

prevails abroad. Idle cipital finds little or no
employment and prudent people are unwilling
to embark means in new enterprises which may

The Lesson ot the California Election
The Democratic papers throughout the couu
try are just now indulging in an unusual amount
of jubilation over the complete triumph they have
so unexpectedly won on the Pacific slope. T
both panics the result of the contest lias been
matter of great surprise. To the Republicans on
the Atlantic side it lias been a source of deep
mortification, and is a blow which the sensible
leaders of that party feel quite keenly. Tbe event
should certainly teach the Republican party a se
vere lesson, and it they are wise they will not
soon forget its precepts. Gorham, the Republi
can nominee, was universally known to the peo
pie of California as a corrupt and designing poli
tician, aud to a free use of iiis gold his nomina
tion was solely due, while the honest, outspoken
Republican journals refused to support Gorham
ou account of his being personally interested in
gigantic schemes which, it was current ly reported
by members of liis party, lie contemplated to car
ry out at the expense of the State, involvin
it in an enormous debt, which millions <
dollars would not liquidate. Last year the Re
publican ticket suffered a severe defeat in Con
necticut, anil the cause may in a great measure
be attributed to tbe. unpopularity of several of
their candidates. When a State like Connect!
cut can find no more honorable aud distinguish
cd statesmen to represent the views of the Re
publican party than Barnum, the woodly horse
and Freejee mermaid showman, a man whose
proudest title is “The Prince of Humbugs,” we
say emphatically the party nominating such can
didates would not receive its just deserts unless
it was defeated, and defeated ignominiously, too
Not satisfied with the protest ot Connecticut,
the same disgraceful trick of palming off cor
rupt and unreliable men was attempted in
California, and while it would afford
pleasure to chronicle the success of the party of
progress, we are gratified to know that the lion
est Republicans of the Golden State have re
buked this partisan insolence, and by withhold
ing their votes caused the party leaders of that
State to pay pretty dearly lor their temerity.—
We simply regard this change as one of those
wholesome defeats that it would appear are ab
solutely necessary for all parties to sustain occa
sionally, in order to purify their motives and
halt them in their corruption. We are not sorry
under these circumstances that Gorham, a man
acknowledged by bis own party to be unworthy
of tiie exalted bribery to which he aspired, and
through bribery hoped to attain, was defeated.
Every true patriot, whose partisan prejudices
are not so strong as to prevent him from takin e
a rational view of the political situation, wifi
shed no tears over the deteat of corrupt and un
principled politicians.
Governor Haight, the new incumbent, is a true
Democrat, and during the rebellion tvas one of
the most earnest supporters of the Government,
using freely his means and his influence to unite
the war Democrats, and his-past record gives us
good assurance that liis administration will be
marked with justice and ability.
The defeat is ominous in another sense, aud
we presume the wise men of the Republican
party, such statesmen as Fessenden and Trum
bull, will perceive the truthfulness of what we
are about to utter. In nearly every Southern
State there are to be found to-day regiments ot
just such men as Gorham, and corps of men
without either brains or character, who are vo
ciferously seeking to represent the Southern
people. These meu are very loud in their
professions of love for the colored race,
have an unlimited amount of friendship for
the Government and fairly adore Tliad.

such a plan ot political degradation should be |
carried out any more successfully in the South
ern States than in California or any Northern
State. The day is not far distant when it will
be made manifest to tbe Republican party that,
with all the gorgeous trappings aud parapherna
lia of party power, it is impossible to force ihe
well meaning Southern people, who arc as well
disposed towards the Government as could rea
sonably be expected, (all things considered) to
calmly submit to, much less to sanction the eleva
tion to positions and power of a corrupt class
of men who already boast that if ever invested
with authority they will rule their political op
ponents with an iron rod. The recent Amnesty
proclamation which has emancipated so many
good and honorable men from an unjust restraint,
will doubtless have a salutary effect iu checking
the designs of these men.
If the Republican parly lias any desire to suc
ceed in the 8outh, they must send us respetable,
faithful men as leaders, or be prepared, when
ever the elections are held, to see the tableaux
of California repeated. Neither Northern or
Southern men of honor, we sincerely trust, will
ever willingly become the instruments ot oppres
sion or corruption, and we cannot have one
without the other. It may be the part of wise
statesmanship and patriotism to consider the
utility and convenience of candidates as para

Tliad. Steveus’ iTIIId Confiscation Scheme.
The following appropriate comments upon
the “mild confiscation scheme” of the Pennsyl
vania commoner we notice in tlic Charleston
Ne ws :
Mild confiscation I God save tiie mark ! One
might as well speak of mild highway robbery,
mild arson, mild murder. It is true that this
scheme is to-day intended to operate on tiie
South, but il it succeeds it must eventually be
carried into the North. It it is the will of the
majority to take away land from the landowner
in the South, and give it to the landless, will not
the question tie asked who are in the majority in
the North, the landowners or the landless ? ls
not the will of the majority law ? Does not
common sense say that it is not the will of the
majority to be poor while the minority ar;
wealthy, that it is not the will ot the majority to-
be tenants while the minority are landlords ?
“We do not say that we approve of these theo
ries. On the contrary, we believe that common
duty, common right and common justice pro
nounce them false; but we do siq' that they
are the logical results of radical teaching. The
American people are thoroughly practical. They
are educated both to think and to act from the
cradle to the grave. Educated to believe a
theory, they will follow it out to its logical re
sult. The truth of this has been recently illu
strated. At the Chicago Labor Conveniiou
among other propositions was one to start a
laboring men’s political party. If this means
anything at all it means the array of labor against
capital; the-poor tbe majority, against the rich
tbe minority. If the teachings of the radical
party are true, those men were right. Agrarian
ism is just. Property is in the masses.”
Southern radical property holders would do
well to note the foregoing conclusion of the News
tpon the teachings of tlieir Northern political
associates, to wit: “II tiie teachings of the radi
cal party are true,” then “ agrarianism is just."
