TOIerabIy HoDefuI.

From an editorial of The Richmond E1-
aniner of the 18th inst, we make the follow
ing extract, which shows that the Rebels
are not without hope of foiling Gen. GRANTS
plans: I-.-. .g
We cannot indulge the enemy with any
minute information concerning the events
which are now passing in North and South
Carolina, but the intelligence already pub
lished officially is enough to show that the
Army of Tennessee has felt the wholesome
influence and strong impulsion of their fa-
vorite leader, lately reinstated in command.
A wide, and, in all probability, impossible
interval separates Sherman yet from the
Yankee army operating before Richmond
and Petersburg, and General Grant, who
depended, as USUAL upon cooperation from
the South and from the West can do moth
ing but fold his hands and wait. 1t is the
story of last spring repeated. In May of
last year, if Butler had done the part as
signed to him on the south side, and Hunter
in the West, General Grant entertains no
doubt that he would have entered Richmond
in triumph about nine months ago. So
now, if he fails again to take possession of
this capital within the time he has allowed
himself for that operation, he can still say
it is because Sherman failed to come up, or
because Sheridan failed to come down.
Such is the uncertainty of human affairs.

A Fact NOT Generally Known.

Hon. LEWIS B. GUNcKEL, who represents
the counties of Montgomery and Preble in
the State Senate, appears to be regarded as
the leader of the Administration party
This gentleman has the advantage of the
other Administration Senators, as he has
almost constantly negro prompter at his
elbow, while the Senate is in session. The
name Of this prompter is JENKINS, who is
considerably more black than white. We
know that on one occasion an amendment
suggested by him to Mr.. GUNcKEL was in
corporated into bill that is now law.
For how much other legislation we are in
debted to him we do not know. Mr..
GUNcKEI, do doubt if he were disposed to
be communicative, can tell. g

There Must be Cancellation.

The Louisville Journal thus discourses on
the necessity of conciliation
1t is reasonable to believe that the South
ern people are worn and weary of the war,
which they plainly see is fraught only with
destruction to their property and them
selves. is not this, therefore, an exceeding,
ly befittiug period of the war when, taking
advantage of the moInentous victories
achieved by our arms, the national author
tiles might end the conflict without addi-
tional bloodshed, upon terms at once mag
unanimous and honorable to the country?
We have always anticipated that point
would be reached in the progress of the war
atwhich craftsmanship should take the place
of generalship, and reconcile the opposing
sections uponjust and enduring terms. We
do not wish that the Southern people shall
be dragged back to their allegiance with
their mouths in the dust and with ropes
around their necks. They we're our broth
ers in the past, they are our brothers now
by all the ties of civilization, language and
blood, and in the future we would have them
as equals in the family of States. The dig
nifty and pride of the nation hereafter will
require them to be such. There must at last
be conciliation between the parties to this
great struggle. War alone, with its horrid
features, can never achieve that result, but it
may drive brave though erring peopleinto
hopeless desperation, resulting in their ire
trievable ruin, and rendering our own
nominal triumph in reality an inglorious
defeat.
Never can true reconcilement grow
Where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so
deep"

The late NATIONAL disgrace.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
(Republican) makes the. following COM
ment on the silence of The Tribune, Times
and other Administration journals on the
disgraceful exhibition of their Vice Presi-
dent on inauguration day: Al4p
''It is sad sign Of the times that Repub-
lican journals, always ready to rebuke in
temperance, brutality or indecency, when
exhibited in the democratic party, should
remain entirely silent when their own par
ty, the country, the Senate, and decency
are all alike outraged by the conduct of a
high official, nominated for office by a Con-
vention which kneo his personal habits, and
elected by apeople who confided in the dis
elimination of that Convention, and who
are keenly sensitive to the disgrace thus
imposed upon them"

What tho Administration Press is
fi1s-4 Doing.

In localities where the Administration
party has the majority, and where parties
are pretty equally balanced, Administration
journals are urging their party friends to
make an effective effort to secure the sue
cess of their candidates at the April cleo
tion by large majorities. They urge, as an
incentive, that if they shall do this, their
success in the fall will be rendered more
easy. This suggestion should serve as an
equal stimulus to Democrats. Effective
labor now may carry an influence forward
to the tall election that will be exceedingly
powerful. Let them, therefore, work with
that end in view.

. DO yon Want TO Change the DEM
J. ocratic Feature Of the COnstitu-
tiOn ON lhe Subject of Voting?


AT the time of the adoption of the New
Constitution, no one provision in it gave
more general satisfaction than the provis-
ion which restricts the privilege of
voting exclusively to white male citizens
of the State who have reached the age of
twenty-one years. 1t was understood at
the time by the trainers of the Constitution,
and by the men who voted for its adoption,
that no half-breeds or quarter-breeds,
should be allowed to vote-that this privi-
lege of voting should alone be enjoyed and
exercised by ,chite male citizens; but Adj
ministration Judges and the Administration
members of the present Legislature have
ignored the manifest wishes of the people,
as expressed through the Constitution, and
have outraged common sense, as well as
having run counter to the general under
standing as 70 the meaning of the word ,cllite,
by declaring that anis actually schite if
the white blood that courses through his
veins is simply in excess of the black blood.
There is not an intelligent merchant, or
merchants clerk, anywhere in the State,
who would be guilty of the supreme stu
pidity of undertaking to palm off on GUS
toners goods having "visible admixture"
Of black as purely achite. The Administra-
ton Judges and the Administration Mem
bers of the Legislature, however, who
have declared that man who may be con-
sidered more white than black, is aohite,
have given the public specimen of stu
pidity more gross than that would be.
Through this decision, a premium is Of
fered for an amalgamatien of the white and |
black races. 1t was the design of the
trainers of the Constitution that no such
premium should be offered. The Consttu-
ton is express, clear and positive on this
point; and because it is thus express, clear
and positive, it is referred to as ''Demo-
cratic feature" that ''does not protect the
negroes" 1t is, therefore, the purpose of
leaders in the Administration party to
change or nullify this Democratic feat
ure " of the Constitution " by electing as
many Councilmen and Judges of Election
at the April Election as they possibly can.
fyou are anxious that this purpose should
be defeated, it becomes your duty to work
assiduously to prevent the defeat of the
Democratic candidates. -4.s

. rnith wi,hout works is Dead" !"


In spiritual matters it is not more true,
that Faith without works is dead" than
in political matters. To be productive OF
good in either case, faith and works must
go hand in hand. For a member OF a
church to condemn that which his relig-
ious creed pronounees sinful, is little better
than mere vaporing, if he do not in his daily
life put that sinfulness to shame. II not
thus put to shame, it will derive courage
and strength, from his active example, to
laugh at his words of condemnation
Equally is this true of the men in office,
who act in disregard of the interests OF the
people. If the people shall, at every recur-
ing election, give to the party with which
they are identified, overwhelming majori-
ties, they are not at all likely to mend their
ways, no matter what amount of wordy
condemnation they indulge in. To work
areform, it is necessary tor the people to
change political parties. If is worse than
useless, if it is admissible to use such an
expression by way of comparison, for men
to denounce corruption and drunkenness
that characterize high officials belonging to
the ruling party--to declaim against the
shortcomings, the partisanship and the de-
votion to the interests of the negro by the
Administration members of the Legislature
--and yet hope to work a reform in these
particulars by voting to retain the party in
power to which they belong. The man
who spends time and money in an effort to
invent perpetual motion, is infinitely more
practical than the man who will vote thus
with the expectation that reform will, IN
good time, come along. The man, there
fore, who would attest his disapprobation of
the gross corruption that prevails in Ad-
ministration circles-of Vice President
JoHNsoN's drunkenness-of the inatten-
ton of the Ohio Legislature to business, or
to its unnecessarily prolonged session-of
its abolition of the Superior Court OF Frank
lin county, and its creation of an elective
office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court,
purely out of partisan considerations-of
its repeal of the law that gave active force
to that provision of the Constitution which
reserved the privilege of voting to the
white man, and of its giving a formal re-
ception to a negro Major-has no other re-
course left than to use his efforts to defeat
the Administration candidates. In most,
and in perhaps all, cases those candidates
may be estimable men. A vote against
them is not censure of them, further than
to the extent that they interpose between
the just condemnation of the people and
the men in office who have disregarded
their wishes and interests.
