stockton-Cattell.

From he World
The radicals Of New Jersey have put the cap
sheaf upon one piece of infamy done oy the
Rump Congress. They have elected Senator
TO take the place of John stockton, the true and
lawfully elected Senator from New Jereey,
whom, being a Democrat the Rump radicals
conspired TO throw out of his seat in order 10
obtain two-thirds majority in the Rump
Senate. The name of the Senator who carries
about in his person the shame of New jersey,
the prostitution of fair State to the wicked
and lawless purposes of the Rump, is Cattell.
And SO IL turns out that there was not honor
enough, not State pride enough, not justice
enough, not decency enough in the New Jersey
radicals to resent the insult put upon every
voter IN the State Of New Jersey by the Rump
Senate. Poor, mean-spirited, selfseekng par
tisans they grasp party advantage and sub
nit 10 public open insult to the State The
mere having of q radical rather than Democrat
in the United States Senate, is q sufficient bribe
TO them to pocket the insult to themselves and
their once-honored State. Instead of resentng
the insult put upon them and their State by the
Rump senate and sending John Stockton back
to the halls of Congress with a unanimous vote
which should tell the mad fanatics there that
they might be base themselves, but could not
enforce baseness upon others, these radicals of
New Jersey assembled themselves together at
Trenton on Friday in order to publicly proclaim
themselves ours oflow degree; they licked the
boots OF their masters; did the deed that was
demanded of them, and now, tor few years,
this Cattell will seat himselfin the high place
to which his States dishonor bore him, wearing
the badge OIL that dishonor, and himself its .liv-
ing memento.
The Democrats of New jersey refused to vote,
and thereby to recognize q vacancy. They pro-
test in manly terms against the wrong to which
they refuse to be parties, and include in their
protest a brief but conclusive demonstration OF
the right of John Stockton to the seat which he
would be filing to-day were there one spark OF
honor or pride in the New Jersey radicals.

Grand smash at Cleveland.

bT0m We Tribune y. |-|-I-
The Cleveland Convention signaized its first
days proceedings by quietly kicking over all
the elaborate arrangements made by Generals
steedman, Custer, Este, McCook, and company,
for appending it as a bob to the draggled tail of
President Johnson's kite This was quietly but
most efiectualy accomplished by the grand
strategy OF the New York delegation in pushing
MaJor-General Gordon Granger for permanent
chairman. The ANDY johnson programmed
was TO nave the tossilzed General John Il. Wool
as his permanent successor; but the New York
soldiers kicked against this and secured Gene

our highest legislative body was largely com
posed OF men contemplate in every respect
but their command OF the goodwill OF deRa-
Pogues and dexterity in -pandering TO the igno-
rant pretudlces of the multitude. We have had
room, during its sessions, for apprehendlng
come new exhibition of the blackguardism, de-
hauchery, and brutal violence whose frequent
display has made our Congress, in spite Of its
many illUstrious statesmen, chronic occasion
of national shame. fE
But II is the first time that the Presidential
chair has been filed by besotted dns-cItt0tte,
the object of universal derision and source of
constant mortihcation--a man of such offensive
person and speech as should exclude him from
the society Of gentlemen, and consign hum to
the low haunts frequented by his kind. The
deterioration which has brought us to this
depth OF degradation has progressed uniformly
with the growth of demagoguism, and seems
inseparable from any system which obliges par
ties and party leaders to obey not the sentiments
of thinking, patriotic men, but the passions of
the mob immersed in ignorance, often in vice.
No one who has studied the appearance of the
crowd which an election gathers about the polls
to influence popular sentiment, can long remain
in doubt whether the hcentious freedom of
our suffrage is compatible with an enlightened
Government.
In the nature of things, il is folly to expect
judiciOus decisions of great national issues from
an gnoIant, impossible populace, marched
from the impassioned phllippics OF an adroit
orator to the ballot-box. 1t is madness TO leave
the final appeal to the judgment of q mass
mainly composed Of such elements as no sane
man would repose confidence in on the simplest
everyday affairs The greatest difficulties, it
Is true, must attend any effort to restrict the
suffrage. 1t is hard to see clearly in what
quarters cuItailment should be made, or upon
what principles the right to vote should be
awarded; but there IS yearly less and less doubt
that our national prosperity, il not our national
existence, can only be preserved by abandoning
republicanlsm based, as every temperate OBJ
server must admit, upon the most utoplan mis-
apprehension of human progress.
