1t is clear to our mind that mischief is
brewing in this country. The contest be-
tween Bennett of the Herald, and Max Maret-
zick, the war between Greey and Weed, the
sudden, though not unexpected skedaddle Of
Ben Butler from Democracy to Radicahsm
the building by the Fenians in New York of
army wagons, the speech of Montgomery
Blair, the contest between the Old Dominion
and Post, the Richmond Republic wheeling
into the Old Line Wing ranks, the refusal of
Bolts to accept Office, the rise in the price of
Old King Cotton and the falling off in the
price of the tweed" the failure of Newbern
as seaport, and last, though not least, the
great frog show in New York these are signs
in the political horizon which are calculated
TO awaken fears in the hearts of all true lovers
of their country, who hold that we have had
enough of war. Participating in these fears,
the Baltimore Gazette lays hold of the most
alarming subject as indicating danger ahead
and thus warns us:
But it may be, and we incline to the opin-
mated the bul-frog show, has resorted to this
simple plan to point out those prominent poll
ticans who are marked out as the victims of
its vengeance. 1t seems to us that this is the
most probable view eff the case One frog is
designated as dad" which may indicate in
the infamous vocabulary of the fraternity the
Chief Magistrate of the nation or some other
person whose high station causes him to be
Of lialr NV
Another is called emperor of all the Rushes,"
which perhaps refers to the chief of the Freed
mems Bureau, who controls the rice and cot
ton plantations on the coast of the Carolinas
and Georgia Another is known as the
"Watchman," by which allusion may be in
tended our own Governor elect, who is so
careful an observer of the signs of the times
'.Nicodemus" may refer to the Hon. Mont
gomery Blair, lately a ruler in Israel, and
now seeking the truth. ''Hulla Bulloo" I'M
ouestionably points to Mr.. Forney, and
. Fighting Joe" to one of our well-known
generals. ".Jolly Green is obviously nick
name for some ilustrious lrishman who took
service under the Government and the
Motherly Calf" can only mean the cores
pondent of the New York Times who signs
himself the veteran Observer" The Little
Corporal" indicates the Young Napoleon of the
Peninsula "Timely jim and jug Drum, ;"
perhaps, sufficiently designate the proper in
aividuals to the consprators, though the refer
ences are too vague to enable US to identify
the parties indicated But we have shown,
we think, that there is something more serious
in this New York demonstration than the peo-
pie there seem to suppose. Mayor Gunther
should look into the matter. "Copperheads"
have given enough trouble to the Government,
and it would be monstrous to permit the safety
of the Republic to be imperiled by the ma
chinations of the managers of this Bull-Frog
show If the originators of this internal plot
cannot be discovered, the offensive frogs ought
at once to be confsoated. Where is Mary
Ann?
