minds, by the fact to which we have alluded,
were of the most melancholy character. They
impressed the conviction on the public that
the process of State disintegration and State
degradation was the settled policy of the
ruling majority, and it was hard to conjecture
where a limit would be fixed to the exactions
of the arbitrary power Of that majority. We
have among us, too, in each State, a small set
of desperate politicians, who, for the bars
chance Of possessing place or power, are ready
to aid and abet any scheme, however inlqliit-
Gus, which promises their advancement; and
the multiplication of States would have, as a
consequence, multiplied officials. With the
majority of Congress without, and the place
hunters within, combined, it is difficult TO con-
lecture where the schemes for self-aggrandize-
nent would have found an end; but for the
wise course of Mr.. JOHNSON, who, in recon-
hitting the internal affairs of the South, in
part to their own people, left the HoLDENs
fulcrum, on which they had hoped to rest their
levers to overthrow State organizations, to
pick up of the fragments something of value.
These apprehensions on our part were by no
means ill-founded. The fate of Virginia, and
the agitation of the question of territorial
division, not only of Tennessee, but Of Ala
bama, gave us good reason to apprehend more
trouble on this score, while here at home the
proposition lately before the Senate to wrest
| Alexandria from Us, showed that these fears
were but too well grounded
Our anxiety, however, on this point, has
been removed, by the rejection of the bill in
the Senate, where the WADEs and WILSON'S
of that body, as sort of Holy Alliance, were
anxious still further to weaken Virginia by
taking from her Alexandria.
We hail the defeat of these Radical disor-
ganizers as a cheering sign, and trust that the
defeat of this measure will put an eud to their
| paltry imitation of the autocrats of the old
world These gentlemen were not born in
the purple, and the assumption of autocratic
power does not set gracefully upon them
besides which, it is slightly opposed to the
theory on which this Government is supposed
to rest
The ground upon which the proposition was
rejected, to wit: that the theft of Alexandria
might leopard the integrity of West Virginia,
shows that policy and not right controlled the
vote, while the motion to reconsider tells us
that even the suggestions of self-nterest have
not absolutely prevailed.

this man has been the most violent. With
out brains, but stimulated by the force of
prodigious and ungoverned passions, he pre-
sents himself to the historic portrait painter
as a wonderful cross--a marvellous hybid
between the bloodhound and the jackass. lie
has all the obstinate stupidity of the one,
combined with the blood-thirsty ferocity of
the other.
These Just observations, which no one will
mistake tor the language of compliment, have
been suggested by the announcement that
this venerable sinner has expressed himself
as infinitely disguised at the faiu.e of the
little plot which he had concocted with his
masters, the DEVIL and THAD. STEVENS, to
carry the constitutional amendment in Ten
nessee. Having failed in this, his opinion
that the war ended 1.-TWO years too soon," is
fully confirmed, and, like the wicked young
woman in the fable, he goes about splitting
out toads and vipers with every worl he ut
tiers. We are glad to know he is in a rage
for we are then perfectly certain that some
good action has been done The harder he
swears the safer we feel.

Alexandria Safe for the presen,

There has been a great deal Of the same
spirit in this country, which in Europe found
its expression in the treaty of Vienna This
grand old Commonwealth has been dismem-
bered, just as Mr., Attorney General BATES
predicted would be the case Since then sew
eral counties have been wrested from her:
and the State of Tennessee has been agitated
by the same suggestion Of a geographical and
political division. Tie idea of parceiing out
people and dividing territory in defiance OF
the Constitution, is plainly i'll violation of all
our received theories of Republican Govern
ment. Not ouly does it violate these theo-
ries; but it presents TO the world the amazing
spectacle OF legaized secession-secession in
its worst and most indeiensible form, that of
one part Of State from the other.
The suggestions made to all thoughtful

General Order No. A.

Some of the papers affect to see in this Or
der of Gen. Grant, an exercise of unwarrant-
able and despotic power. We do not 50 re-
gard it. For the execution Of the order de-
ponds on contingency which need never
arise, and which we believe never will arise
IN Virginia.
The order directs Commanders of Depart
ments, Districts and Posts in the South to ar
rest persons charged with crimes and offenses,
in cases where the civil authorities have failed,
neglected or unable to arrest and bring
such parties to trial, and to detain them until
a proper Judicial tribunal is ready and willing
10 try them.
Thus if the civil authorities do their duty,
this order is of no effect, and as our civil au-
thorities in Virginia are willing and able to
Dc their duty; the order cannot effect us.
We copy the above from the Old Domin-
ion of this morning, and ask our contemporary
where the authority exists in the Constitution
foe the exercise Of the power assumed i'll
General Grants Order?
The assertion of right on the part of the
military to decide-and that, too through To-
cal commanders-on the proper course Of civil
courts or magistrates is despotic and anti
republican, and We can make nothing else Of
it. 1t establishes Court of Appeals hedged
in with bayopets, and is entirely suhyersive Of
every theory of this Government as announced
by its founders. 1t is no defense of the Order
to say that its application may be averted by
the course of the courts. The question is
what provision in the supreme law of the
| land authorizes it's promulgaton7
For objections in points of detail, we refer
our contemporary to our issue of Saturday, ir
which we take exception to this Order, on the
further ground that it opens the door to great
abuses

Some men are born bad, some achieve bad
ness. and some have badness thrust upon
them, or, at least, they plead this in their

his own person all these GAINS to detestation.

of medieval disputants. Nothing was too
violent for this hedge priest to utter, and his
sermons and newspaper both abounded in
denunciations of all the enemies of 'the pecu-

other those of the fish market
