KENTUCKY.


Kentucky has acted nobly. IT, as a
State, she fought against the South, and
embraced the cause of New England, she
has never wavered from Democratic
principles. Many Of the noblest OF her
sons went into the South and won i'm
mortal renown. In the recent Congress
sional election, the friends of liberty and
order, shaking hands over the dying EN-
beers of desperate civil war, went to the
polls and crushed, we trust forever, the
Jacobin party in the State. This result
has evoked a dismal howl from the watch
dogs of tyranny. So mild q strolling
scribbler as MACK" Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, cannot conceal his wrath.
Writing from Atlanta, Georgia, he says

there were any real danger Of a conhs-
cation law, If it we're possible to think
that an American Congress would parcel
ont in such process country half as
large as continental Europe, and that
the American people would stand by and
see it done, Kentucky would be the worst
possible place to go to, for there's where
the work must commence if at all. And
though opposed to general .conhscation
in the South, think little special con-
fscation against Kentucky rebels would |
have a salutary effect. They are the
only men who can control State IN

Radicals feel pretty strongly the force of
the remark we have italicized in the
above extract They have been so long
accustomed to have their own way,
and riding and walking over everybody,
that community that rises up in its
might and wipes them out, must needs
seem TO them not very far from hell
We predict that radicalism generally is
destined TO find little bells breaking out

the fact that we are not as rich as we

people gathered palatial fortunes, and

PROBABLY TRUE.

A Petersburg (Va.J exchange states
that the United States Supreme Court
has adopted rule not to decide, at
least within the next two years, any po-
liticsl questions, the decision of which
would interfere with the legislation Of
Congress in the matter of reconstruc-
ton. We rather think the real object
of this intended delay is to allow Con-
gress to retard reconstruction until after
the coming Presidential canvass. Two
years will just cover the grounds.

Luxembourg, and the dismounting and

Prussia is unwilling to this, unless all
