But paying the bonds is quite different ope-
ration. The purchase alluded to can lust as
well be made before the expiration of the five
years as after. General Butler certainly means
something different from this, for his whole
reasoning goes on the payability of the
bonds at the option of the Government,
after the five years are up. He means, then
Cor he talks nonsense), that they are
to be paid in some way not permissible
before the expiration of the five years,
but permissible afterwards. This of course
excludes purchase and includes payment, pro-
perly so called In the first case, the holder sells
or not, as he pleases; his decision depending
on balance of advantages between keeping
his bonds till maturity and drawing the in
terest, or taking such a present price as the
Government is willing to offer. In the latter
case, he has no option at all. The Govern
ment gives notice that, on certain date, the
bonds will be redeemed and the interest
stopped. If he does not accept the proffered
payment they become dead, unproductive
property. 1t is this latter case that General
Butler is called to meet, but he dexterously
evades it by insisting on the defensiblity of the
first. 1t is false analogy, totally irrelevant

under law; but IL may be questioned whether
,much of their counsel is oomprehended py
their hearers.
This presentation of the case is discouraging.
But there is no encouraging view of the case
presentable. The at nional authorities wish
for peace sincerely. General Sherman and his
officers desire peace What glory is to be gained
by such a war But the incessant restlessness
will cause incessant fighting till the railroad is
built. Then the steady flow of travel, the
march of traffic, the sowing of stations preg-
nant with towns along the line, will decide the
question against the Indian who will disappear
with his bufIaloes. No "policy' is likely to be
successful with the savages. Policy has no
chance to bear on those scattered tribes.
We must all be to great extent still
at the mercy of circumstances, accept
ing peace or war as they shall dictate
peace when we can, war when we must. We
can, however, do something, and we seem to
be fairly in the way of doing something, to
mitigate the force of circumstances where
they threaten to be most cruel, so that pacific
measures may preponderate. There is good
promise that henceforth the Government will
to the full extent of its power, secure honest
dealing on the part of its agents; will see that
its contracts are faithfully performed; and will
make allowance for the peculiar suferings of
miserable decaying race. That will be much.
1t will reach such gentle dispositions as the
Indians cherish, and effect what saving of life
it can.
There is also good promise that the COM
manders of troops despatched to quell the
rioting savages will be not mere adventures,
but able men, who will do wars work in a
way to make the Indians respect as well as
fear them. More than this we can scarcely
hope for now. But this will finish the task as
mercifully as such dreadful task can be done,
They who yield to the Government persuasions
will die ere long from social decay. They who
try issues with men like Custer and Sherman
will perish more quickly by the bullet. Be-
tween the two weapons-good will and ill
will-they will soon be wasted away from the
continent.

their abilities to some purpose and are neces-
sary part of the nations future. It is useless
to muddle over the special phases of present
party strife. One broad fact only is distinct
and beyond doubt; it is that a reaction against
the Republican party is felt throughout the
land, because that party has abused its power.
But aside from the emphasis they give to this
reaction, the elections now forthcoming mean
but little, and it is of comparatively small
moment which way they go, either in this
State or Pennsylvania. What Republicans
lose Copperheads expect to gain, and that is
all there is of the result TO the people. But
the reaction against the Republicans is begun,
and it is for the people, by their own move
ment and utterances, to strengthen that, to
give it the depth and force and impulse that
will carry all before it. To do this with effect,
the people, so soon as these fall elections
are over must organize the grand campaign
of the next Presidency with Grant and Sheri-
dan-the chosen dials and practical statesmen,
types of the best qualities of great people
This is the way that the people must deter
mine the future of the nation. These cleo
tions will determine nothing, though they
may exhibit still more clearly the tendency
already indicated elsewhere; but by rallying a
grand constitutional party around the two
great soldiers, the people will determine all.
Reconstruction will thus begin directly with
the people and in the demolition of parties.
Such a reconstruction, guaranteeing that the
great results of the war shall not be lost, but
that the nation shall not be destroyed by the
factions--a guarantee that would lie in the
very fact of the success of Grant and Sheridan
such a reconstruction will be complete and
natural and will establish national peace and
safety on sure bases. Up with the standard,
then, for Grant and Sheridan

Something to be Afraid OF.

from ute ", Z. Times
1t is not for moment to be supposed that
the Washington politicians and Wall street
spectators who have been thrown into such
a terrible panic by the reports about the
Maryland militia, have any political or pecu-
mary ends to subserve by circulating the
news that they ooncoct. We, ourselves,
would not underrate the ominous nature of
the news, nor would we say that it does not
furnish an excellent reason why gold should
go to $50 and the Republican candidates be
elected. If we were 'long' in gold, or if we
were a candidate for the popular vote, we
might perhaps think the 'Maryland militia"
a very nice instrument to give our interests
hoist; and as we heard of their procuring
grey uniforms, purchasing brass cannon,
and indulging in all sorts of warlike antics,
we should feel assured, quite assured, that
the credit of the nation, as well as the exist
ence of the Government, was imperill ed; and
we should rush to the gold room and buy a
million or more at current rates, while at the
same time we sent the prospective profits to
aid in the election of Ben Wade.
For consider what may happen from the
Maryland Governor organizing these hosts of
untamed militia. If he has put six hundred
regiments Cor even if it be but six regiments)
of them in the 6eld-that is to say, has in
scribed their names on foolscap; and if he has
purchased for them an entire half-dozen brass
Napoleon 6-pounder guns, and if they have
clothed themselves in Confederate grey, and if
they have sworn an oath that they will do
their duty on any field where they may be
mustered-then who can deny that there is
good ground for the fear that Governor Swami
may order them to march upon Washington,
garrote Congress, and proclaim Johnson? How
can it be positively known that such formi-
dable array of militia will not make short
work with few hundred members of Congress
and bid defiance even to the million veteran
soldiers whom General Grant recently COM
manded There is assuredly no telling what
may take place if Wendell Phillips and the
Tribune, and Charles Sumner and the ChrOni-
Gle, and other sentinels on the watch-towers Of
freedom, fail for a moment to keep an eye on
these sanguinary grey coats, and utter their
warnings to an imperilled country. We do not
wonder that General Grant Cor rather, we
should say, Major General Butler) considers
that the whole thing has an ''ugly look, - and
solemnly thinks the loyal Governors should
take immediate measures TO thwart the first
efforts of body of militia whose prospective
dOings are enough to terrify even military
souls. We think really that, considering the
circumstances of the case--the perils to Wash
ingtOn, the perils to Congress, the perils to
the eagle, the flag, and the Union-that the
| least any man can think of doing, is to take
the six brass guns from these six militia regi-
ments, and send the entire force to the Dry
| Tortugas, with General Butler to govern them.
Not till this is done will the peace of the cOun-
| try be beyond disturbance.

The Defense of Mexico. /;

From The ". Y Tribune.
iii is unfortunate for Mexico that she needs
defense, it is well that she has Senior Romero
for defender That gentleman in his speech
almost disarms criticism by the frankness and
force of his argument, and the sincerity Of
his friendship for the United States. In the
eight years during which he has represented
his Government at Washington, Senior Romero
has had ample assurance of the goodwill of
our people to the Mexican Republic he has
been enabled to inform his countrymen that
as we are ourselves resolved not to interfere
with Mexican affairs, so we are resolved that
other nations shall not interfere. In the
letters read at the banquet, General Grant init
mates, and Senator Cameron expressly
declares, that if the Mexican victory
had been much longer delayed our
armies would have helped to win IT,
Senior Romero knows what the effect of such
intervention would have been, and NAV Judge
if it is merely diplomatic boast that we
would have helped Mexico, made after help
ceased to be desired. Hs has freely admitted
that our sympathy with the republic contri-
buted, in great measure, to its triumph.
When he returns to Mexico he NAV safely tell
his countrymen that the United States would
not permit a second invasion; that we rejoice
in their independence; and that all our svm-
pathies are with their efforts TO establish pros
perity and peace and freedom. He may tell
them that among all the nations of the earth
Mexico has no friend more true more strong,
than the United States, and none that is ready
to 90 as far to make its friendship effective.
But there is one thing which he cannot tell
them. He cannot say that the sober verdict
of our people sustains the execution OF Maxi
milan. .f.o cH
We do not desire TO reopen the argument
upon that question. Senior Romero has re-
viewed in his speech the usurpation OF Maxi
milan, and without the slightest trace of ILL
temper has shown its wantonness and wicked
ness. We are willing to admit all that may
be said upon that subject, but II must be OBJ
served that Senior Romero himself admits that

Italy.
From the N. \. Tribune.

From the N. J. Tribune.
The Italian people continue to protest against
the arrest of their greatest and noblest man at
the request of a foreign monarch. The out
breaks at Naples, Genoa, and Milan have been
followed by one at Viterbo, which, it appears,
has been more serious than any of the former
ones The idea of being the enslaved tools of
France begins to fill the people with an indig-
nation which alarms the Government. The
report that Cialdini is to follow Ratrzzi as
Prime Minister still needs confirmation; if true,
it would either indicate that the Government
wishes to disown the sentiments of Ratazzi, or
make special military preparations for meeting
outbreaks. Cialdini is not known to have
very decided views as politician. In Parlia-
ment he has been general supporter of the
Ministerial policy.
A singular declaration is made by semi
official paper of the Government, the OpiniOne
of Florence. 1t says that Rome will soon
belong to Italy, and that without a violation
of treaty. The object of this semi-offcial
statement is obvious; it is to tranquillize the
national party by giving new pledge that the
Government, notwithstanding the arrest of
Garibaldi, does not abandon the design of
securing the annexation of Rome. The Gov
vernment is perhaps begging at Paris or Rome
for some concessions, for appearance sake, to
the popular sentiment; but we regard II as
highly improbable that real annexation OF
the Eternal City has been resolved upon.
The excitement which prevails throughout
Italy with regard to the recent events natu-
rally gives rise to the widest rumOrs. Thus 1t
was reported last night that there had been an
insurection in Rome, and that the Pope had
fed to Civita Vecchia city situated on the
coast. The news is probably incorrect, and,
at all events, needs confirmation. 1t is, how
ever, highly probable that, sooner or later, an
insurreotionary attempt will be made in Rome
as all the preparations had been made by
Garibaldi.

General Butler has written another astute'
incisive letter in support of his project for
paying off the public debt in legal tender
greenbacks. He addresses himself this time
to the Tribune, in reply to some sharp
denunciations of his plan by that journal.
The Tribune furnishes a rejoinder, which
occupies more space than the letter; but
it SHES Buffers points and runs into
vague moral considerations. 1t is no ade-
ouate reply to General Buffers reasoning

sensibility." Such an imputation may be
true enough in point of fact; but if the
devil himself should make an able argu-

pal of the fve-twenties in coin, aud contends
that the Government is morally bound TO do
better by its creditors than it promised-that

only promised coats" Now it seems to US
