The Skies are Brightning.

The deep gloom which but lately seemed
settling over the country, caused by the
fear Of n rupture in the Republican party
has been dissipated within few days and
the sun OF hope and Conscience shines once
more as brightly as ever. The result o.
the New Hampshire election some weeks
since, the result of the Connecticut electicr
few DAYS ago, the passage of the Civil
Rights Bill in Congress, by unprecedented
majorities, within TIE past week, and the
return of numerous Republicans Of in.
huence and prominence from their tempo.
rary wanderings away from their fathers
House, all give assurance that the loyal
masses Of the country are sound on the
questions Of the day, and that thar Great
Organization which carried the country
through the war against rebellion, is still
rs compact. as thoroughly united in senti-
ment and purpose. ard as firmly resolved
70 persevere in behalf OF the right as they
have been at any time i'm the stormy past.
The only question, at any time during
tho past months of doubt and anxiety, has
been, will the Republican Party be true TO
Itself, to its mission, u the country, to hu-
manity? That question is now settled and
the country is safe. Not that there will at
once be peace :and tranquility; not that
there will not on the contrary be agitations
and excitement, bnt safe ultimately; be-
cause il is demonstrated that there is a
power stronger than Congress, or Presi-
dents, or both combined, that has resolved
to fight this political war through upon the
same line they fought the other war
through upon, and to the complete and
perfect realization Of the objects for which
that war was wsged, the re- establishment
or Federal supremacy throughout the Re-
public, and not ceasing that warfare until
rebellion against that authority ceases, not
In form and pretense merely, but in sub
stance and fact.
We look upon the result of the late cleo
tions and the action of Congress on the
Civil Rights Bill as furnishing conclusive
evidence that the Republican Party can
not be broken up. The effect Of these sig
nal, but peaceful victories, upon the Pres
'dent and the few prominent Republicans
who still hold out i'm their iisorganizinp
course, il is not possible to anticipate
but one thing is probable if not certain
that an attempt to coerce the party into &
support of measures it does not approve
will only make the matter worse for then
in the end.
In the mean time 1t is important that The
political ranks be closed up, and vigorous
measures be adopted for the work befor,
US. While spirit of mutual forbearanct
should be exercised, it mast be distinctly
understood that no jot or iota of the prin
ciples for which we have been contendinp
is To he sacrificed, under the pretens. O.
compromise, conservatism, or anything
else.

Conservatism is that of President Johnson
which may be found in the Congressional
Globe, first session, Both Congress, 1883.

A SAFETY GUN LoCK.-An ingenious
little continuance has been invented by
Captain Henry Turner, an English rifle
man, the object OF which is to prevent the
possibility Of a rifle or gun being used
without the owners permission. 1t con-
-ists of an ordinary lock affixed to one or
two cheeks of brass. which, when used,
boxes in, SO to speak, the trigger. The
gun may be cooked, and even cleaned, If
necessary. but the hammer once raised,
cannot he let down again, as the trigger is
inaccessible while the lock is on. The lock
could be easily made to fiji any gun, and
its adoption would nearly insure security
agains the various accidents which arise
from leaving loaded gums about IL house:
Captain Turner believes his invention IN
be original but is satisfied with the credit
Of devising it, and gives il freely TO the
Dutiic. ..H.. ..E.

The grandfather Of General Robert E.
Lee was rival of General Washington
in love affair. The object of their af-

first love of Washington, and whom he
celebrated as 'thc lowland beauty" Lee
was successful and bore off the prize. The
son of this marriage "Light-horsc" Harry
Lee. was always hcld in great friendship
by Washington; and Irving, in his biog-
raphy, suggests that the memory of his
tenderness for the mother was not with
out it's influence in connection with the
son.
Thisfricndship continued between them
until the death of "thc father Of his coun-
