Patriotism and Public Officials.

The New York Evening Post has
eXerted an influence heretofore not
measured by the members of the Re-
publican party, its ability, its supposed
impartiality, the halo of poetry which
surrounded it, led many to accept with
great credit many opinions and senti-
ments which, appearing in any other
paper, would have been very carefully
scanned.
Out of the city Of New York and
the immediate circle Of the friends of
the proprietors, nobody had any idea
that the kteniag Post had any special
reason outside of pure patriotism, to
advocate the continuance of the Lin
coin dynasty. But now it appears
that not only was one of the proprie-
tors OF the Post a navy agent, but that
said agent has, after having been dis
missed, been arrested at the suit of
the government for fraud.
1t rather shocks ones sensibilities
to haveitappear that the philanthropy,
the broad humanity, the love of all
the race, the deep concern for the SUI
premacy of the North, the overpower-
ing poesy and patriotism of an un-
doubleday able organ of the govern
ment, has been based mainly if not
wholly upon--as government alleges
fraud, deceit, swindling and perjury.
To one outside. of official circles, the
Evening Post would, perhaps, have
been the last paper to have been sus-
pected of being BIASED by unworthy
motives. We are not to PREJUDICE the
case of Henderson, one of its proprie-
tors, now under arrest, but we simply
wish to say to the Republicans, that a
noisy, or sentimental advocacy of
the administration is not conclusive
evidence of loyalty, but that desire
to promote the best interest of our
whole country, evidenced by actions
Herewith, is the only and
sure standard of patriotism.

The Senate have raonn ei1arad +hai,,
action IN regard to the Communication
clause IN the Conscript Bill, and have
stricken it out. No more paying
money instead of going to the war
The argument was as before, that the
government needed men and not
money, but that is nothing new; the
change seems TO have been wrought
by pressure from the War Depart
ment, indeed most likely by the adj
vice of the President, more emphatic
ally given after his return from his
visit to Gen. Grant. Some Of the
supporters Of the administration in the
last debate declared that they were in
favor of calling, if need be, into the
field, every able-bodied man in the
country within the conscript age
But may it not be necessary to change
the limit of exemption ? Why not
take men up to fifty or sixty years of
age F? This action Of the Senate shows
one or two things either the Presi-
dent, upon his return, made it clear
to the Senate that matters we've in
more precarious state than they were
aware Of, or that by his mere pres
ence and at his dictatisn, that body
were willing to reverse eirdeliberate
action In this most important matter.
Can it be that President Lincoln
doubts our ability to carry on the war
SUCCESSFULLY without the aid of the en-
tire fighting population of the north ?
II there is no such doubt, is the Sem
ate ready to place in the hands of the
President such sweeping power, to be
used in his discretion Z? Nothing which
has occurred Of late has given us
more dubious feeling in regard to final |
success than this reversal, under the
of the first decision of |
the Senate in regard to the commuta-
ton clause.

The CIRCUs.-We stated last week
as our opinion, founded on what we
knew of the character Of the proprie-
tors, and had read concerning the
merits of the performers, that the
Excelsior Circus" which is to ex-
hibit here next Saturday and Mon
day, 9th and 18th, was an institution
worthy of patronage, show combin-
ing all the essential elements which
give interest to this class of exhibit
tons. Last Mondays Free Press thus
notices their first performance in De-
troit:
The Excelsior Circus opened on
Saturday evening. In the acrobatic,
gymnastic and equestrian performan-
ces, the actors are unrivaled by any
exhibition Of the kind that has lately
been seen in this city. The perform
ances were all excellent, and many of
them were wonderful. First and
foremost stand the equestrian per-
formances of Madame Louise Tourn-
aire. She is the most graceful and
charming rider that has ever appear
ed here, and elected rounds of APP
plause. Her daring bareback act by
far eclipses al rivals in the profession.
She is evidently in love with her bus
mess, and rides with great spirit, as
well as grace and ease. Mr.. William
Naylor astonished the audience by
his wonderful equestrian performan-
ces. The acrobatic and gymnastic
performances were worthy of notice,
as were also the tumbling and leap
ing of King, and the contortions of
Sig. Wambold. James Reynolds, the
popular clown, perpetrated his jokes,
fresh and racy, to the amusement of
all

EE The Bay City Press objects to
the publication of extracts from the
N. y. Tribune, we shall, however,
venture another for its especial bene-
fit. We admit that this record of the
great Republican leader is no more
creditable to the party than is the thiev-
ing record of some other leaders of
that party made up by Thurlow Weed
IN an article published on our first
page, but it is theirs, not ours, and as
they make their bed so must lie in il,
and SO they will leland steal also.
In an article in the N. Y. Tribune,
Nov. 1850, Horace Greeley said in re-
lation to secession, the dangers of
which were then beginning to be felt
and appreciated:
'1f the Cotton States consider the
value of the Union debatable, we
ululhtuin Iuelr pefIecl rlSnt ~ oi1ss.--
it. Nay, we hold with Jefferson TO
the inalienable right of communities
to alter or abolish forms Of Govern
ment that have become oppressive or
injurious; and if the Cotton States
shall become satisfied that they can
do better out Of the Union than in it,
we insist on letting them 60 in peace.
The right to secede may be reyolu-
tiona1y one, but it exists nevertheless;
and we do not see how one party has
a right to do what another party has
a right to prevent. We must ever re-
sist the asserted right Of any State to
remain in the Union and nullify or
defy the laws thereof; to withdraw
from the Union is quite another mat
ter. And whenever considerable
section of our Union deliberately re-
solve to so out, zee shall resist all eo.r-
Gre measures TO keep 10 IN. We hope
never to live III republic whereof
one section is pinned to the residue
by bayonets."

Catching an Iden.

Tke foreign powers, particularly England and
France, appear 10 have caught an idea of huge
dimensions from the sinking OF the Ala6anpa by
the Rearsargs. A late Paris letter makes the fol-
lowing statements
"DuriDg the fight between rhe Reaysargs and
tho Ala6ama, the Emperor received dispatches
every fifteen minutes, at tho Palace OF Pon-
taineblean Of the progress OF the light, as Il had
been arranged beforehand. His Majesty ever
since has taken tho liveliest interest In every
thing relating 70 the victorious ship, and espe-
elally her artillery, of which he has made a
thorough examination. II 10 generally admitted
that this hight demonstrates that the artillery Of
the French and English nayies Is defective If not
must be the result. The large rifled guns must

Fatal TIGER HuNT.-Captaln Wimot, Of tho
iC6th foot, has been killed in a tiger hunt in
the Boondie Hills. Captains wiInroi and Dsw-
son had basged nine their leave had nearly
expired, they had quilted the hills, and cOngrA-
tulated each other that the trip had suded with
out q single accident when at near sunset
Of the day before last, intelligence was brought
them that a tiger was at the foot Of the hill.
They at once proceeded TO the spot and then
walked him up; both fired and the tiger,
severely wounded, sougAt refuge up the hill.
Apparently without VISITING to reload, both
officers followed, taking the tigers own path,
thoulder TO shoulder, with a native carrying
spare arms and directed by traces of blood and
the roaring Of the brute, the two officers APP
preached his lair on patch of jungle on the hill
side, when from height the tiger spraag upon
them, knocked both over and seiziug WimOt
carried him off towards his retreat treating the
unfortunate man cat does rat Captain
Dawson appears to have discharged his second
barrel IN this scrimmage, and on recovering him
self. and looking around for the spare single, he
ioundthat the native had bolted, carrying the
weapon with him. Wilmots rifle lay on
tie ground, one barrel andisoharged; With
appears to think that the absence Of tho spare
gun did not affect the result, as in their strug-
giles man and beast became so mixed up that he
could not have fired moment sooner than DO
did. During this struggle, the agony of mind Of
poor Dawson may DO conceived, as young Will
mot called on him TO fire and chance the conse-
quence. During the whole of that miserable
night. for twenty miles from village to village,
on a chsrpoy carried on mems heads, Dawson
escorted his wounded comrade, reaching Deolio
a little after sunrise. Everything which the
kindest medical skill or sympathy dictated was
done for the poor fellow on his arrival at Deolie
but his wounds soon proved fatal.-Bombay
