THE OPERATIONS OF THE EXCISE LAw.-Thcrc
are two conspicuous features in the operations
of the Excise law that must attract observation.
One is the humorous side Of the question, a.
presented by the many shifts resorted to in order
to avoid its obligations and the other Is the
tragic phase Of the question, as exempliicd in
the riots, bloodshed and general turbulence
arising from 1t in the suburbs Of the metropolis,
where the law Is not in force. On the one
hand we have the concert saloons nanking the
commissioners by keeping open on Sunday,
which they have not done for q long time, pre-
senting all the attractions Of their pretty walt
ing girls and other Inducements to Sabbath
desccration, on the pretence Of vending only
coffee and tea and sweetmeata This they can
do with impuoity, II appears; but how long win

tacle the other day Of number Of dealers who
were arrested for violating the law by keeping
open af,er midnight putting in the plea that ~
they had no license the law was not binding
upon them. The plea was sustained by the po
lice Justices thus establishing the fact that those
who violate the first principles Of the law By
selling liquor without license are not subject
to the penalty for disregarding lie minor fea
lures, putting premium, as IL were, upon lie
gal business; another evidence Of The absurd

90 the Quarrel.
Within week, II Mr.. ,Thaddeus Stevens
keeps bis word-and we sincerely hope that
he will have pluck enough to keep 1.-THE
quarrel between the President and Congress
will be brought 10 decided issue. In his
speech on Saturday, referring to the removal
of officials who do not sustain the President,
Mr.. Stevens angrily exclaimed:-"H II Is time

hinl-I would let these officers know that this

to try them" Mr.. Stevens is quite right The
House Of Representatives is grand inquest
before which guilty officials can be brought
and the Senate il constitutional tribunal by
which such cases may be tried. II the Presi-
dent be reasonable" II his Secretaries are
"recreant," If Senators "apostate," and II the
President and his secretaries are "guilty Of
malfeasance in ONCE" II is proper that they
should be punished. Nobody can object to
this. The constitution commands IL Mr..
stevens has, therefore, a clear course before
him. Let not his backbone bend nor his
knees grow weak. Let him present his charges
in due and legal form and let us have trial.
The country Is all ready for this movement II
the radicals are. Things cannot and ought not
to 20 on any longer as they have been going
on during the pest few months. The best In
terests Of the American people require that the
quarrel between the President and Congress
shall be cnd,d in some way or other. Tho
vay that Mr.. stevens has chosen Is, perhaps,
the shortest, and consequently we are In favor
Of its adoption.
We believe that In the bitter quarrel which
has lasted 90 long and caused 80 much nl-feel-
ing the President h entirely right and the
radicals entirely wrong. We believe that the
President is acting according to the conssitu-
ton and that the radicals are trampling Inc

Presidents policy OF reconstruction Is
safe, practical, national and statesmanlike,
| and that the failure Of the radicals to oher any
thing better or half 90 good, after many monsea
Of careful delibcration, ought to have been fot
lowed by general and cordial acquissence In
the Presidents plan. We believe that the pre-
sent Congress does not represent tho scnti'

question and that the people are with the Prcsi
dent almost unanimously. This is our creed

EFThe official axe has been for some
time undergoing the process ofsharpening,
and from some intimations we have received
we are induced to believe its edge will
soon be tried on some of the recusants from
the Presidents policy in this State.
Those holding Office under him who ap-
prove of his policy must be out-spokcn,
must endorse him publicly, or prepare to
leave at short notice. For four years past
they have been great sticklers for support

Show your Hands.


ES Three years since and the redoubt-
able Schen resigned in Maryland. Hav-
ing exhibited his utter incapaci;y in the
field-his cowardice in the face of hostile
Rebels he was 'rclieved' and sent 'to
the rear to buster and tyranize over de-
fenceless and una,med men, acon,en and
children. He was undoubtedly the right
man for the position for none other save
perhaps Beast Butler could have been found
to do the dirty work that was to be execu-
ted. A poltroon and 'cur of low degrees"
"a little great man'--he was fit tool
to execute the tyranical DEGREES of q Mill
tary Despotism.
Then it was that we were seized and
carried beyond the lines" because we re-
fused to endorse and sustain the Adn.inis-
trution. Then it was we were told that:
1.-THE Administration was the Govern
ment," and that those who opposed it were
Rebels and Traitors, more culpable-more
'dangerous" to be feared by the
Government. t,al those who assailed it
with arms in their Lands.
Now that the clash of arms has been sus-
pended, and the war has fui2ed, as was
predicted. to restore the Union, and that
the Administration is seeking to accomplish
by diplomacy what the sword could not do,
the shoddyitcs all over the land, with this
same Schen,k as one of their leaders, re
throwing every obstacle in the way.
Eleven States, now as then, are still out
of the Union. The Administration seeks
to bring them back. Tho Sc who oppose
the Administration in this undertaking are
therefore the disuniouists, let their profess
sions be what they may, and those who
have heretofore been honest in their advo-
cacy of a Restored ULion must now, to
preserve their consistency, join earnestly
with the friends of President johnson, and
thus strengthen his hands in the great work
in which he is engaged, or prove their for
mer inconsistency and hypocrisy. 1t will
not do to pursue nuetral or nom commit
tai policy now. We have been taught to
regard those who are not with us as against
us. All must therefore show their hands
in the coming contest.

A Fast Party.

EE-A short time since and Secretary
Segard was regarded as the head and front
Of the Radical party. His "higher law
doctrine vas denounced and execrated by
many of those who have now outstripped
him in the race of Radicalism. Progress
siye as were his ideas, he has proved him
self o "slow team' when hitched to such
men ss Frank Thomas and his adherents
and admirers. AS steadily and consist
emily as be has battled for the freedom Of
the black race, he cannot stomach the idea
of equality-of equal rights, and universal
suffrage, and has therefore cut adrift from
the Radicals and unequivocally announced
himself as a supporter of the policy of the
President in all its phases. The party to
which he contributed SO much in building
up, has gone beyond his depth, and he
like sensible man has turned back and
left them to founder in the waters which
will soon ovcrwhelm and destroy them.

GA Man and a Brother"

Eg-In the oity of Boston negro man
ia now sitting as a juror in murder trial.
Permit Radicalism to triumph and how
long will it be before similar spectacle
will be witnessed in the Courts here. Un-
der the Civil Rights Bill. what is to pre-
vent it? Only elect one of this party,
who recognize the negro as "a man and a
BROTHER to the position of Sheriff of the
county, and the thing will be accomplished.
Once summoned he can only bo prevented
from serving under the penalty of heavy
fines and imprisonment. Such is Civil
Rights" as endorsed by the Radical party.
What say you? Will you preserve this as
white mans government by supporting
Andrew johnson, or will you endorse
Frank Thomas, the Representative of the
who declares that, "the doctrine
that this is white mans government is
the most infamous of all time ?''

ED-WENDELL PHILIPS is the guide post
of the Radicals. He tells us exactly what
they mean. Therefore his utteranccs are
important. His speech lately delivered at
the New York Anti-slavery Convention,
to which Chief justice Chase wrote letter,
defines the issues for which his party are
contending. They are for negro Congress
men, negro Governors and absolute negro
social equality with the white in all res
poets. The Radical party is for this and
nothing less. All of them hereab, us think
it, and few of the bolder ones speak it.
One. we know of, has expressed the belief
that the infusion of negro blood into the
white race would improve it. He no
doubt feels the need of some improvement
for he has sadly degenerated.

Step by Step.

The Iowa Legislature has passed joint
resolution amending their State Constitu-
ton so us to extend the right of suffrage to
the negroes. The Supreme Court of Wis
consin has stretched an old law so as to
allow every wholly head to vote. In
Michigan, at the recent local election me-
groes voted for the first time, having been
but recently admitted to the right of suf
frage. So we go with rapid strides towards
universal negro suffrage and negro equality,
without which the disunionists in Congress
declare they will never allow the Union to
be restored. Yet the Republicans of Penn
sylvania have the audacity to declare that
negro suffrage is not an issue before the
people. Such liars would shame Tom Pep

out Representation, make it convenient to
be present on this occasion and by his coun-
tenance and counsel give encouragement

How Maryland is to be Carried by the
Radicals - t.H.-

Forney, who doubtless is in full consultation
with John L. Thomas thus telegraphs to the Press:
The heroic Unionists of the city of Baltimore
confidently predict that large majority will be
rolled up against Montgomery Blair and the re-
turned rebels, and that even if every county in
the State-which is mpossible-should declare
against the old flag, the majority in Baltimore
would still be large enough to hold the State to
the Union.
The election in the 18th Ward yesterday where
Samuel r. Wylie, the Conservative candidate re-
ceived four votes to for Schley, Radical, does
not indicate the overwhelming majority Forney
predicts 1t slows, however, that it is contem-
plation to carry this city by fraud and violence if
possible, so that the counties may be overwheln-
ed Forewarncd is to be forearined Bali.
