A Running Accoant-1ae Case of the Unihd States
Jourmal-Ihe Compromise Of Mr. Rires, Of Mr..
Sanrn,, of the Constitutior-Ihe Case Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, per contrd-And the S0lita-

cacy'-A Lucid Erpos,tion-all going to sho,g
the necessity Of a Compromise upon the 10th De-
gree.
We cannot, for the soul Of us, tell what is to be
done. The United States Journal is rampant, BEL
licose, and imperturbably pugnacous. The print
ing Of the House is gone-he printing of the Senate
is goneand there is no hope for the printing of the
Departments. The Journal is in open rebellion
against the administration fragrant, unmtigated re-
beion. How long is this rebellion to be sustained
or can be, or will be How long before it will be
overwhelmed by the power of the Executive, and
its own headlong career of mpracticable isolation
Not long, apprehend. A political press never
has been, never could be, and cannot now be, we
kept on It's legs. and In easy locomotlon, without at
least portion of the spolls. The Daily Globe, ac-
cordng to the confession OF the editors, the organ
of the lary, and the exclusive organ-he dictator to-
and not the instrument OF the administration, was
published at an expense above Its receipts Of two
hundred dollars per week. And the Union, with a
large accession to the list from the Globe
is OF itself, suspect, losing concern. 1t cannot
be, otherwise. Hence the necessity of sustaining
the administration and its exponent by the gift OF
the Congress printing to the official editors. What
we're? Will they hold on !? Can they! We take
their office certificate at par that they have circu-
laon OF ten thousand. But that subscription is not
enough 1t won't pay. We take their other deca-
fund Of $4,000 in bank. A year will sink it upon q
daily paper. There are two alternatives of escape
First, to sell out second, to abolish the daily and
modify the seml-weekly to the organization OF the

editor would have saved them the printing of the
Senate. But hearyou, Mr.. Poet Dow, and Mr. Pro-
lessor Fisk Observation-Disclosures mere fog-they
produce nothing but iog and political transcenden-
tast like the asset Job, must subsis upon The snuff
ing of the east wind.
Only see how quietly Mr. Rives has managed
His spec ch before the democracy here last summer,
ON the accommodation of the Globe, was suppress
sed. He acquiesced. He made his peace with the
administration on the most accommodating terms
He threatened an opposition press to the organ But
that was ruse dc guerre. The Executive was dis
posed to come to the 49th parallel as the Oregon
question. Wiser than Sir Richard and Fisk & Dow,
MIR. Rves scratched his head, and said, swell,
we'll, I'll see about IT, And what is the result Mr..
Richie surrenders the Congressional Union to tho
Congressional Globe, nd Mr.. Rives surrenders the
refusal and good will of his friends in Congress-.
Nothing could have been more handsomely and
quietly done.
And how about the Constisut,on1 1t became ne

administration was so chary and indstlnct, while
its fidelity upon the surface was so apparent tempe

The kitchen cabinet snuff the alarm. Samm may
