Rump Rejoicing!...Vermont and Mainel

It is really amusing says an exchange, to
witness the demonstrations Of rejoicing
made by the Radicals over the results of
the elections in Vermont and Maine. Their
newspapers announce in bold head lines,
"Great Victory" "Rebuks Of My Policy"
Overwhelming Success" as though any
thing else was expected. Vermont never,
we believe, gave Democratic majority.
The last Legislature (ls65) stood-Senate,
Democrats, o; Radicals, 80; House, Demo-
Gratis, 8; Radicals, 223! The delegation to
the 39.h Congress consisted Of three Radi
Gals. I. is difficult 10 see where they could
have gained much on those figures.
Maine has voted for years past for the
Radical destructves by majorities ranging
all the way from $4,000 to $4,000; the last
Congressional delegation was composed en-.
tirely Of Radicals and the Legislature was
almost unit for the same party!
We believe that official and complete re
turns will show that in both those beuighted
and bigoted States, where Puritanism and
fanatcsm hold the minds of men in the
most CALLING chains, is the political drink
and meat of its people that the Democratic
vote has been increased in spite Of the hue
and cry Of faction, who, like Chinese war
riors, make up in sound and confusion and
din Of noise for lack of courage and power
1t is not at all strange that New Eng land
should vote as in Vermont and Maine; tits
a matter of vital Importance to that section
to maintain political supremacy; once LOST
it can never be regaiued. This is the key
note to the manifestations of rejoicing and
jubilation now seen in every Rump newspa'
per Of the land; simply a "stage trick" to
rekinde waning and dying party spirit
among their adherents in other States.

The Mountain Democrat publishes the lol-
lowing interesting extracts from a letter
written from New Orleans:
THE COTTON CROP.
The cotton crop, this year is lamentable
failure, and thousands arc ruined. We had
a very cold, wet spring. Almost every
planter had to plant the second time. Seed
was scarce and very poor. Seed rotted in
the ground, and the incessant rains till July
made the cotton backward. The levees,
from being neglected during the war, broke
badly, especially at Morganza and Grand
Levees, above Point Coupee, submerging
the whole Tech country. As soon as the
bolls began to open, the last Of August, it
commenced raining and rained every day.
This brought on the worms and rotted the
boil. l. is estimated that we will have but
one-fith Of a crop.

The Coliseum at Rome.

Mhe Coliseum at Rome was commenced
by the Emperor Vespasan, and finished by
Titus. Hitherto amphitheatres had been
constructed Of wood, for the most part; but
these structures were too frail for their
purpose. The fall of one of the wooden
buildings at Fidenn killed or injured 5O,-
600 persons. Accidents of this sort led to
the construction of the famous Coliseum.
1t is said that the expense of this structure
would have erected metropolis.
Nine thousand wild beasts were destroyed
at the dedication of the amphitheatre.
They we're hunted TO death in the presence
Of the blood. thirsty audience Of Romans,
and then the arena was suddenly filed with
water, and sea animals were made to con-
tend, and sea fight exhibited. II was
here that the most celebrated of the gladia-
toral contests were exbibited and here it
was that during the era Of the persecution
of the Christians, the martyrs Of the new
faith were made to contend with wild beasts
for the amusement Of a heather audience.
In 1850 the building was consecrated by
Pope Benedict XIV, to the memory of the
Christian martyrs who had persisted in the
arena.
The Coliseum was of an eliptical form,
whose longest diameter was 6Ol feet, and
the shortest $40 feet. The length of the
arena was 28l feet, its breadth 176. The
heighth of the structure was -164 feet. 1t
inclosed over acres, and accommodated
100000 spectators. After the downfall Of
imperial Rome, depredations began to be
made upon the building. Besides former
removals, Angelo took away nearly one-half
Of the external wall to build the Palazzo
FarDese.
When this amphitheatre was in its glory
and filed with Romans, with the Emperor
seated in conspicuous and highly adorned
seat, with the aristocracy Of the great city
in the first tier, the people above, and in
the galleries the servants and dependants,
with the women seated in their front, the
sight must have been magnificent and i'm
posing. But the motive which led this
vast audience together to gloat over the vio-
lent deaths Of human beings gives us an in
sight into the character Of the Romans, aud
the degradation of the ante-Chiistian era.

A Noble Charity.

A short time ago the Sonoma Democrat
contained an earnest and eloquent appeal
TO the people Of this coast in behalf of the
suffering poor of the South. We are grati
fled to see that number Of other journals
throughout the State have seconded the
move, and we sincerely trust that so laudai
bic an enterprise will call forth from our
citizens, both cordial and substantial rel
sponse. If the burdens Of the late war sit
heavily upon US, who lived at The distance of
two thousand miles from the outermost
rickets of the contending hosts, how must
it be with those who found themselves in
the very midst Of the struggle; who have
seen their cattle seized for soldiers rations;
their fences made into camp fires, their
barns, their grainries, and their once peace
ful homes turned to ashes, and their very
hearth stones upheaved by the iron hail Of
war2 Ofcourse no one who has not wit
messed the poverty and suffering which fol-
low upon the track of devastating armies,
can begin to comprehend the full measure
Of the destitution which now prevails
throughout the South.
The Rev. O. p. Fitzgerald, of this city,
who recently returned from IA tour through
most of the late Confederate States, and
who consequently has probably better
knowledge than any one else on this coast,
of the wants of the suffering poor of the
South, and whose irreproachabIe character
for honor and integrity, is no secre! in Cali
fornia; has kindly consented, rs we learn, to
forward to its appropriate destination, any
funds which may be placed in his hands for
the purpose above Indicated Vanguard.

Radicalism as Viewed from Abroad.
TIE COTTON CROP.

AS viewed from abroad, Ra adicalism in
features. Il is almost as loathsome as it is
on this side Of the Atlantic. The foreign
press, particularly that of London, has no
respect for, and denouuces it in no measured
terms. l. is not often, says contemporary,
that $50 much truth and good sense are
compressed in so few words, as the follow
ing from the London POST"
1t certainly does seem strange that any
faction, however extreme its views, should
still exist in the United States, which can
persist in policy, which ifsteadily pursued,
would inevitably bring about civil war.
The great object with which, as we are told,
the North engaged in costly war against
the Southern States, was to prevent them
seeding from the Union. II was absolute
ly essential that the republic should be one
and indivisble. This unity. it was Insisted,
was necessary for its greatness and its pros
perty; and to maintain it no sacrifices were
ever considered too great. Now, however,
that the war is at an end, it is those who are
most bitter in their hostility to the South
who strive to prevent this much desired
NH'VJ OCSOAhihS "H nCSOup'iobCN 'eVe' ~
is fortunate, under such circumstances, that
the republic has for its chief magistrate
such man as Andrew johnson. The
honesty with which he has endeavored to
reconcile the differences of the antagonstic
States, and the sound craftsmanship he has
shown 10 his efforts to reconstruct the Union
on the only possible sound basis-namely,
the equal RECOGNITION of the rights of all its
citzens-haye for him the respect Of every
true friend of that great republic. Against
the narrow minded prejudices Of those
whom, in the first flush Of victory, the Re
publican party sent to Congress, be can
do little more than protest. That protest
may or may not be availing; but such as il
is he deems it his duty to make it; not
doubling, however, that the moral support
accorded to him by the bulk of bis fellow
citizens, will give TO it an efficacy which no
hostile majorities in Congress can entirely
destroy.
