Corr0N AND REFoRM.-Ths Atlantic cable
informs us that the Manchester mills are now
running on "short time" This Is the device
Of the manufacturers to keep down the price
of cotton by temporarily decreasing the de-
mand But If the cotton crop be as short as
good authorities assert the price will be very
high in spite Of the manufacturers The
:" short time" will have one good effect, how
ever-it will give the working men of Man
chester more time to think and talk and agitate
about reform-more time to attend monster
meetings and listen to that sturdy democrat
John Bright. In this point Of view "short
time" bodies no little mischief to the aristoc-
racy and will only hasten the inevitable revo-
luton which now threatens England. We're
Napoleon in Queen Victoria's place he would
keep the workingmen busy just now, even if
he had to pay for the cotton out Of his own
pocket. He Knows how quickly idleness leads
to barricades, and he never permits unem-
ployed workmen IN France.

sustained in levying war upon her, not only by
the American people unanimously, but by the
intelligent verdict Of impartial public opinion
in Europe. But would England risk the con-
sequences Of a refusal to make proper repara-
tionf That is question which time and the
occasion would have to solve. While ON the
one side her governing class-the aristoc-
racy- might accept war as means OF escape
from the revolution undertaken by the
settled conviction among the English people
that their navy would stand . mighty slim
chance Of competing with our iron-clad fleets,
and that any resistance they could make
against our armies marching into Canada
would be still more hopeless. The chances,
war or accede to our demands peacefully,
are about equally balanced. In either event
her humiliation would be pretty thorough, and
the other nations Of Europe would be very apt
to enjoy it.
And what would be the effect at home Of this
foreign policy Of our government? Evidently it
would tend, more than anything else, to
strengthen the hands Of President johnson and
give to his administration that measure Of popu-
larity which it stands so much in need Of The
radicals would not dare to oppose that policy,
being themselves as strenuously in favor Of it as
any other element of our population; they
would therefore have to endorse it, and, to
that extent, range themselves on the side of the
administration. Pending its development we
would hear no more threats of impeachment
The President, on his side, would cease his OPP
position to the policy of Congress in reference
to reconstruction, il, indeed, the whole subject
would not be tacitly permitted to drop and the
Southern States be received back into the Union
without further question or the imposition of
any hard terms. With these promises Of an
easy solution of our home difficulties and Of q
maintenance of the national honor and inter-
ests abroad, we think that the fereign policy
foreshadowed will meet the earnest and hearty
and enthusiastic support Of the whole people
Of the United States-radical, conservative,
democratic and republican-North and South.
Let il go forward.

SPEAKER C0ifAx RE-ELEcrED.-Wc are very
glad that Speaker Colfax has been re-
elected because there il parliamentary
point or two which we with and intend
to settle with him. He is responsible for all
the trouble between the President and Con-
gress. He originated the difficulty by allow
ing Thad Stevens TO ufe language on the
floor of the House concerning the President
which would have dlssraced q common loaler
in a Five Points barroom. In our opinion IL
was the duty Of Speaker Collar to stop Mr..
Stevens and to insist upon the Observance Of
the rules Of debate, Of common courtesy and
Of Congress. Speaker Collar pre'ends to differ
with ms and 10 believe that he was quite right
in permitting Mr. Stevens and others 10 black
guard the President during the sessions Of The
House. and apparently with its official sanction.
We intend to have this disputed point settled
in some way, and We assure Speaker Colhx
that be had better manage his menageric dit-
ferently in future. Had Henry Clay, or
Lowndcs, OF North Carolina, or Orr, Of South
Carolina, or Stephenson, Of Virginia, or Baals,
Of Massachusetts,, been in the Speakers chair
at the last Congress, instead Of Colfax. mo dis.

The ssFierce DemOcracie,' and Their Nov

The s'Fierce Dem0cracie'' and Their Now
Chiefs.
The sfierce democracie" Of the State have
Of their ancient confidence and courage and
are beginning to rise up from their crestfallen
condition. BY some this change has been
attributed to an unforeseen Frightening Of their
prospects in the coming election; but this is a
mistake. The Baron Won Hoffman and his
"ring" have no more prospect Of success at the
polls now than they ever had. Indeed their
chances to-day are more hopeless than they
were two weeks ago. The revival in the spirits
Of the 9 fierce dcmocracie.v who may consider
themselves out of the woods and in the Woods
al the same time, has no reference to the
present election. II is induced by their unex-
pected deliverance from an awkward dilemma.
As party, they are nothing without leaders
They are accustomed to follow, and are good
followers; but cut OF their heads and they are
poweriess in II moment They have recently
experienced deep sorrow and solicitudc at the
demise Of their Two greatest chiefs, on land and
on sea. First came the death OF the iamcnted
Dean Richmond, ana the loss of his vigorous
and pieus side speeches all over the
State. Suddenly the blow was followed
by the demise on the broad ocean
Of that other chief who two years ago
pocketed his personal sentiments and entered
the field against Governor Fenton, making
eloquent speeches throughout the State which
resulted in browning the republican ticket
with majority Of seven thousand votes. The
loss Of these two leaders almost at the same
moment struck dismay TO the heart OF The
" fierce democracie," and for while they were
given over to despair. But they have now dis
covered two younger and more vigorous chiefs
to whom to transfer their allegiance and on
whose leadership to rely. Two Johns have
arisen in the democratic party in this city, with
talents and requirements and position and re-
putation that fit them to I'll the positions made
vacant so inopportunely by dcath--John Nor
rssey and John Hoffman. John Hoffman is
the thinker, the rcasoncr the philosopher the
lawyer, the intellect Of the remaining "rinr;'
John Morrissey is the gladiator, the banker,
the manager Of nominating conventions. the
real captain and ring master Of the party,
always ready to do the hard work and to put
up stakes on results. Thus each has his APP
propriate sphere Of action and both can boast
an excellent mustache. Together they form
the new leaders OF the fierce democratic"
and relieve their followers from a load Of care.
This is the secret Of the revival in the spirits Of
the party. The loss Of Dean Richmond and
john Van Buren, is made up by the advance
ment of these two more youthful and vigorous
champions 10 the command and democrats
may go to bed at nights and rest easy in the
assurance that their party is no longer without
a head
