must In some form. III, for Instance, an attempt
i made 10 declare that the Southern States arc
90 many conquered territories, and therefore
out Of the Union, those favoring that policy a
against the Presidents will be mere fhction.
The same will be true In regard TO IN attempt
TO keep the Southern members out Of Congress
until their respective States give the negroes
the privilege of the elective franchise. Very
few members from the North will presume to
take that stand in the face Of the developments
in the Northern States during the last few
months. But when We come to the question
of receiving the South into full fellowship just
as II stands now, the result Ia more doubtful,
and the position Of majority Of the republi-
cans somewhat problematioal. Tho extreme
men Of that party desire to delay reorganisa-
ton, while the President would settle the
country and lay the foundation for prosperity
Of once. The former would plunge US into
untold evil Of domestic and political anarchy
and threaten us with financial ruin, while the
latter would give vs. peace, domestic tram
quillity and commercial prosperity. The whole
country has been in turmoil, excitement and
unsettled for Eve years. the people in suspense,
unable to tell what the next day might bring
forth. They are anxious for quiet. Our COM
mercial and mercantile interests have been in
state Of uncertainty. But under the policy
marked out by the President everything is
beginning to revive, and our business men
are looking forward with better and
brighter hopes. Will Congress destroy
their anticipations or make them reality
gard to the interests Of the county, but
upon that decision rests the life or death Of the
republican party, inasmuch as that party will
be held responsible for the action Of Congress.
The republican party now occupies the posi-
ton and has the prestige to become the ruling
republicans in Congress rally to the support of
the policy already commenced by Andrew
johnson the fate of the democratic party will be
forever sealed, while the republican will be the
party of the country for the next quarter of a
century. But il, on the other hand, they follow
the lead of such fanatics as Stevens, Sumner,
Wade and Chandler, then the republican party
will receive its death blow in the house Of its
pretended friends, and the democracy will be
again placed in power. The people are anxious
and are hoping and praying for an early read
justment of all our internal difficulties. Will the
republicans in Congress grant them that boon,
or force them to look to the democracy for the
accomplishment Of this end! This is the posi-
ton in which the members of Congress will find
themselves when they assemble on Monday

The FENrAN FRIGHT IN CANADA EXPLAINED
We have the information from Toronto that,
according TO the Official returns, the Fenians
number in Canada over seventy thousand"
This explains the Canadian Fenian scare. Here
in Canada are men enough, properly orga-
nized, to take the province. No wonder that
her Majestys loyal provincials are alarmed,
and that "all the Catholics Of the provincial
volunteers have been drawn out" Verify II
looks as If the frightened Canadians were in
danger Of a little touch Of civil war on their
own account before long. If they are looking
for any help from this side against the Fee
mans let them call upon Jake Thompson 6r
George Sanders.

THE CRITICAL STATE OF THINGS ON THE
RIO GRANDE.-There is some danger of military
complications on the Rio Grande that will ma
terially shorten Mr.. Stewards diplomatic labor
in the settlement of the Mexican question. The
liberals are still hanging around Matamoros,
which is on the south bank Of the narrow river,
opposite to Brownsville on our side, where
General Weitzel has respectable military
force. His soldiers are disposed to sympathize
with the liberals to the extent of crossing the
river, each with musket and forty rounds OF
ball cartridge, and they can hardly be re-
strained. Weitzel himself evidently believes
that the Monroe doctrine is something more
than an empty abstraction. Our war with
Mexico, in 1876, was accidentally brought on
by General Taylor, in stumbling upon an
armed Mexican force on slip of disputed ter
ritory. The same thing may happen again, and
Congress, as in 1916, may be suddenly required
to come to the relief of the State Department
We guess, however, that in President Johnson's
message to Congress there will be some valu-
able hints given to Louis Napoleon and his
man Macmillan. IL not before, we shall have
the ground broken on this Mexican problem
with the meeting of Congress.

JUDGE BUsrEED LOOMING UP.-Of the where
sbouts Of that distinguished politician fami-
liarly known in this city in times past as "Glor-
GUS Dick Busted" we have had no know
ledge for good while. We knew that he had
been appointed United States District Judge
for the district Of Alabama by President Lin.
coin, and that he had been waiting for the tur-
bid waters Of the rebellion to subside, so that
he might repair TO the appointed field Of his
labors but we knew not much more The
Judge, however, looms up at last into view
like the full moon over the Gulf of Mexico.
He has been making splendid fight with the
glorious habeas corpus against the United
States military authorities at Mobile, including
. proclamation for the arrest Of General Wood,
the military commander in that quarter. How
the affair will end II remains to be seen but
az General Thomas, the commanding general
in all the Southwest east of the Mississippi, has
gone down to Mobile, there will probably be q
compromise. AS the case stands Judge Bus
teed holds the victory. He is not the man to
let his light 20 out under bushel.

Is GREELEY CoLoRED MAN?-This question
was propounded some time ago by delegate

be-" Greeley is neither white man nor
black man, but sort Of cross between the
two-a brown man, with bran bread proclivi-
ties Hence his admiration for the bran bread
baker, Hecker.

Tan MORALITY OF THE STAGH.-We have ad-
verted on several occasions lately to the i'm
moral tendencies Of the theatres in this city,
and have shown that even the establishments
that were supposed to be most above reproach
in this particular were not without their share
Of responsibility for the evil instilled into the
public mind by bad plays. It was once said
by an English Judge that he could tell, with
out reference to the bills and merely by the
class Of young rogues that came before him,
when Jack. Sheppard was running AZ any Of the
theatres. Our more elegant theatrical estab-
lshments inculcate lessons Of different class
from those in the story of the young robber !;
but lessons that are not less dangerous to so
ciety because they are lees gross. One Of the
organs Of the theatres calls attention In this
respect to Lost in London"-the latest pro-
duction at Wallack's theatre. The journal, in
question declares this play to be ian unmiti-
gated nuisance" Speaking in purely critical
spirit, it finds fault with the manager for pro.
ducing such commonplace piece, and pro-
nounces the whole idea Of the play so trite and
obvious that "there is no good reason why it
should be made the basis of drama" But,
speaking morally, it declares the play to be
written upon ian indecent and revolving
theme y and further says Sour stage has
been afflicted with good many plays of this
description, all of which merely disgust the
mind by thrusting upon it sickening details Of
weakness and SIM" Such are the words spoken
Of one of our best kept theatres by one of the
theatrical organs. Are these "sickening de-
tails of weakness and sin"-the details Of "an
indecent and revolving theme"-good intel
lectual food for the public !!
