sucress of the Fusion Policy.

Our readers will remember the affecting
love feast the leading Republican politicians
at Cleveland had over the delivery of the
slave girl Lucy to her Virginia master, when
Spaulding, Riddle, Mayor Senter and the
rest of the irrepressibles found how good
and pleasant thing it was to fulfill their
fraternal and constitutional obligations to
the South.
The colored population, however, who
furnished the victim, didn't enjoy the patri-
cite sacrifice. This inferior race could not
be expected to attain that lofty patriotism
which is ready to be offered up on the altar
of the Constitution.
Consequently, at the city election they
sought revenge. Those more white than
black can vote and as the tendency is to be
more white than black, there are some vo-
ters up there. Every one of them voted the
Democratic ticket. Those who had not yet
come in contact often enough with the pre-
iudices of the white race to become voters,
turned out with their hacks and livery ve-
hicles and labored all day hauling white
Democrats to the polls. The consequence
was the election of Democratic Mayor.
This is a new phase of the colored ques-
ton. TIE Democrats have lately been try
ing to exclude all having ''visible admix-
tureD from voting, holding that drop Of
negro blood was SO superior that it would
overcome all the rest of the man, although
he might be of the blood of the first fami.
lies of the South.
Now we shall soon hear the Democratic
organs declaring that fusion in blood i;
Just the thing for fusion of parties, to save
the Union; and Democratic orators on the
stump will address their most seductive
phrases to "our intelligent, industrious, loya
and Union loving colored fellow-Demo
Gratis" just as they used to do to our IrisE
and German adopted fellow. citizens.

IL Is laid down in express terms By our Com
stitution. 0ut Government may declare
ports in state Of insurrection, blockade
them, cut of all communications with them,
and even declare them under martial law,
at least General jackson did. If It can do
ell this, will it be pretended that 1t can not
stop imports into ports in state OF insur'
rection7
There is a question Of policy, aud of means
adequate to carry out IA decided and vigor-
Gus policy !" but there can be none Of const-
tutional power. Probably the most deplor-
able want Of constitutional power in the
Executive now is the power to set off the
Confederates by themselves on such terms
and conditions as would be fair TO both sides,
and let them work out their shady destiny,
separate and apart 1t is reported that the
Attorney General has decided that the Ad-
ministration has not the power to collect
duties at sea from imports into the insurgent
ports, nor to stop the importations. Nobody
will believe it, if he has given such an opin-
ion. But if the Administration is going to
wait until its law officer can finl every move
ment necessary to meet this state of war;
pointed out in detail in the Constitution, OF
directed by acts of Congress, it had better
commit suicide at once.
If the Constitution had not contained a
word on these subjects, the power to main
tain its authority and protect its revenue by
whatever means the case requires, would
have been the inherent right of the Govern
ment; and in this respect Republican Gov
ernments do not differ from any other. But
when to this is added the letter of the Consti.
tuition and the authority of acts Of Congress
to charge any of the present disturbances
upon the weakness of the form Of Govern
ment, or to allege that as an excuse for non
action, would be merely an attempt to palm
of administrative for constitutional weak
| ness

The President is required to maintain the
Constitution and execute the laws. To do
this be is Commander-in-C Chief of the Army
ard Navy, and by the act of 1875 is author
lied, whenever he may Judge it necessary, to
call out the militia to repel invasion, sup
press insurrection and execute the laws.
There is no limit to his power to act, except
the limit Of pecuniary means; but these are
not condition of the requirement on him
to act. He is required to execute the laws
and to call on the militia to do it if neces-
ssry, and is not obliged TO wait for Congress
to appropriate the means. He is the sole
judge of the necessity, and when he acts it
becomes their duty to appropriate money to
pay the expenses. For the commencement
he has the annual appropriations for the
Army and Navy.
To the President the secession is an insur-
rection. So he said in his Inaugural. The
Constitution, and laws in pursuance thereof
are the supreme law over the Confederate
States. He has the same constitutional
power to put down the insurrection now a.

It is reported that over 500 Republicans of
Chicago have banded themselves together to
aid the execution of the Fugitive slave Law
in that city. The purpose is to show that
the fraternal relations will be just as sacred
under Republican as under Democratic
Administration. The return of whole
family few days ago was the FIRST fruit of
this holy alliance.
The South can see what course of treat
ment is most effeetual with the North. Let

Desperate Contest In 1T. Louis Between
Two logs and brazilian Tiger-The
Tiger Slain.
The other day we mentioned the fact that
a fight was to take place between Brazil
ian tiger and two dogs, in st. Louis. The |
contest came off on Sunday, and is thus de. |
scribed in yesterday g Missouri Democrat:
The tiger was a veritable tiger, imported
some two years since from Brazil, South
America-of a small, leopard like species,
and said to be three years old. The creature
stood about twenty inches high, and was
some three and half feet long, and weighed
about ninety five pounds.
The dogs were a hull terrier, weighing
about fifty pounds, and huge black slut, Of
mixed greyhound breed, imported from
| Germany, and weighing some eighty-hVe
| pounds.
The tiger was domicied in cage eighteen
| feet long, seven wide, and ten high. This
was placed upon an eligible spot, and
around it in front was built a wooden fence
to keep off the crowd. At three o'clock the
dogs were led from their kennel to the door
of the cage, and allowed to look for a
moment on the enemy. The latter crouched
at the extreme end of its cage, eyeing them
intently.
The door was raised, and they few saw
| agely in, while at the same instant the tiger
sprang, bounding to the ceiling and coming
down upon the invaders. Their blood and
fur few terrifcally, but they at once extri-
Gated themselves, and both darted furiously
toward the foe. Sir tiger received them
with murderous strokes of his fore paw,
nearly scalping them, and tearing off rib
bons Of flesh and hide at each blow. He
finally seized the terriers jaws in his mouth,
and was crushing them shockingly, when
the slut planted her incisors deep in his
throat.
Very reluctantly he was thus forced to
release the terrier, but the slut desperately
refused TO relinquish her hold. His utmost
efforts to shake or tear her off were unavall-
ing, the terrier in the meanwhile having
pounced upon his back and being engaged
with the utmost enthusiasm in gnawing
through his neck from the top. 1t became
plain that the poor tiger wac worsted and
would probably be killed, but his owner
dared not attempt to draw off the dogs. 1t
was proposed to shoot them, but this would
only have transferred the war from the cage
to the crowd. The owner Of the tiger, how
ever, removed the dogs. Their victim then
rose, staggered a few steps, fell, and ex-
pired.
In the excitement of the occasion the
crowd broke through the wooden barrier
| and rushed close to the iron bars of the cage.
There wasan indescribable amount of cOnfu-
sion and showing, and one or two fights
among the spectators, but none OF the latter
were seriously injured. The contest be-
tween the brutes lasted about half an hour.

to prepare the means of selfpreservation,

differences between the custom house officers

officers consider the price named for cer-
tain quantity of goods in the invoice too
low, they have right to buy the goods at
the price named in the invoice, and the mer-
chant is obliged to sell at that price. In this
country importers have to submit to the
opinion Of the appraisers, and the only alter
native left to them is to.pay duty and sue fol
