Practical questions of this kind must
engage the attention of Congress.
Whenever an impracticable, extreme or
untimely measure is sprung upon them,
the Republicans must ''down brakes"
Moderation, common sense and indus
try are the things needed in Congress.
Let US have, for instance, some lucid
and exhaustive explanations of our
troublesome financial questions, without
regard to the effect they may havo on
any party. If there is any one thing

LOUISA MUHLBAcH's HISTORICAL NovELs.-
People in want of new and delightful
sensation should read Miss Muhibach's no.
vels. Scottish history offered no frssher and
more romantic material to the magic-work
ing hand Of Sir Walter Scott than she finds
in the annals of the German courts. In point
of interest, and of historical fidelity, her
books are not inferior to the Waverely series.
But they are altogether different from those,
as from all other historical novels ever writ
ten, in the one remarkable respect that they
are the work of a woman. There is some
thing charming in the idea of oman, who
adds to the zeal of the historian the imagin-
alton Of the poet. Rummaging among the
archives and traditions of courts, she is sure
to fad great quantity of things which no
man would even think of looking for-just
the things to give the last touches of truth
fulpess to the historical picture. We learn
from her not ouly how Frederick William
and Frederick the Great, Joseph the Second,
Voltarie Rousseau, Baron Trenck, the En-
press Cathariue, Maria Theresa Sophia
Dorothea, and other brilliant creatures, walk
ed and talked in their grand roles, but how
they powdered their hair, firted, and took
tea Nothing is SO trivial as to escape Miss
Muhlbachs notice, if in any way II can add
to the background of reality, against which
her heroes and heroines perpetuslly move.
No wIiter-not even Thackeray in bis "Vir-
ginians" and Henry Esmond"-has more
entirely identified himself with the spirit of
past age. This is the only way that His
tory can he written. The writer must know
not only about the great personages and
events Of the time, but the customs and
manners, the dresses, Tie cuisine, the little
foibles, as people. Macaulay hit this secret
in his History of England" "As interes
ing as n novel," every bldy said. Of courFe,
because it was a novel, in respect of its pic
turesque and dramatic accessories. 1t was
essentially novel, too, in the free sweep
which the author permitted to his imagina-
tion in speculating upon the cause of acts
and the motives of actors. Miss Mubibsch's
novels are history, quite as much as Macau
lay, perhaps, with this difference, that she
owns, at the star, that they are novels
But they do the office of history just as well
as gravsr records, and are, therefore, worthy
the attention of the student as well as of the
reader who desire only to be amused. New
e- was history made more fascinating. 1t is
useful knowledge sugar coated. Whom one
has finished Frederick the Great and His
Court" or Joseph the second and His
Court" for instance, he finds that he has rot
only made most agreeable journey, as if
through fairy land, but has unconsciously
stored up mass of important historical facts
which every one ought to know, but which

Child FIOgging.

We don't hear SO much now of the
banging and bruising of children by
school teachers, as in times past, al
though case gets reported now and
then, whenever there are particularly
repulsive features about it The two
latest instances have been furnished by
Buffalo and Hudson City, N. Y. In
the former, brute of schoolmaster
broom-handled boy; in the latter, a
wildcat of schoolmistress banged lit
tie shayer's head and face, and back
and hands till he was not only black
and blue, but wounded and bloody. II
is some consolation TO learn that both
schoolmaster and schoolmistress were
fined and dismissed. We know there
are great many good people who be-
lieve in the foolish old maxim of wise
old man that "to spare the rod spoils
the child" or words to that effect; but
Christianity and common seDse, no less
than sacred regard for the rights and
feelings of childhood, cry out against
this barbarism in the school-room.

Weston.

New England people are still SO un-
sophisticated that they can get up a
frst-class sensation over so trifing an
incident as a young man in knee
breeches and roundabout on a walking
tour for a wager. WEsroN is to be con-
graduated, like the fellows who have
'greatness thrust upon them" On bis
walk from Portland to Boston and from
thence westward, he was the observed
of all observers. The impatient crowds
even crowded him off the sidewalks
and trampled him and his companion
under their feet, SO great was their ex-
citement, Since be struck New York
State, however, he has had moe elbow
room, and now swings forward at a
rapid gait, bound to win. We rather
like his pluck, and hope he will pocket
his $4,000. It's different from gamb-
ling inasmuch as it is not getting some
thing for nothing. His work is harder
than that of any wood sawyer. Then,
too, his job is a healthful, manly exer-
else, and requires temperate habits. Nc
played-ont gambler, rake or wbiskey'
guzzler could walk the quarter of twelve
hundred miles during the term of theil
natural lives. WEsroE's feat will mo-
leave him pummeled and bruised like
a pr'ze-fghter, or headachy and breast
acby like the billiard player. If he viii
or lose, he will find himself strengthened
in bis legs and resolution, and wortl
twice ten thousand dollars in healtl
and muscle.

THE JOU RN AL,


The Cleveland Leuder, in answer to
the question we asked last week
whether it could assure itself there was
no risk to be run with CHASE as our
candidate for President answers that
''there is no risk to be run with any
candidate, provided that he is true to
"the Republican principles and policy" !"
and 10 support of that declaration gives
the number of Electoral votes that may
be relied on for the Republican candi-
date. These votes are from the States
of Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee,
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Kansas-leaving out the
States Of Ohio, New York, Pennsylya-
mia, Indiana and Connecticut. The
total number of Electoral votes is 31T,
and the Leader claims that III Of them
will certainly be cast for the Republi-
cans. The Leaders array of figures, we
submit, is not conclusive. There is no
certainty that all the States it
names would go for CHASE. There is no
more uncertainty about Ohio, Pennsyl-
vanis, Indiana and Conn, than there
is about any of the other States. We
think it is certain they would go for
GRANT-not at all certain they would
go for CHASE or any other civilian.
The Leader says, "the great risk which
''the party will run will not result from
t'being honest and going before the
"people with candidate whose ability,
craftsmanship, experience aud high
''toned Republican principles have made
''him recognized leader of the party"
1t seems TO us that the past history Of
politics has fully demonstrated that the
party which puts forward lifelong
politician, like Webster, Clay, Cass,
Chase, Douglas, or Seward will inevita-
bly be beaten. There is no seHsi-
ble reason why this should be so, but
its the fact-and to ignore such plain
fact is to court defeat.

Congress---Down Brakes.

The adjourned session of the Fortieth
Congress meets next week. 1t is
source of pleasure to know that no more
legislation is needed On Reconstruc-
ton. All the acts that have been pass
ed for that purpose are being carried
out, and it would he not only unwise,
but mischievous, to tinker with them or
pass any new ones affecting primary
principles We hear that THAD.
STEVENS proposes 70 introduce bill
extending the right of suffrage to ne
groes,, by act of Congress, in all the
States, and that ASHLEY will offer a
bill to prevent the Legislature of Ohio
from re-districting the State. Neither
of these measures can pass, nor ought
they to pass. If the Legislature of Ohio
re-districts the State SO as to secure
more Democratic Congressman and
Legislators, it is one of the misfortunes
of Democratic success which the peo-
pie of the State did not provide against,
and which cannot be avoided save by
defeating it at the polls The question
of extending the right of suffrage to
negroes has been decided against by
the people of several of the Northern
States, and Congress will hardly be so
foolish as to attempt to force IL on them.
But it is almost waste of words to give
such propositions as these moments
consideration-we think their authors
will have more sense than 20 bring them
before Congress.
As to the impeachment of the Presi-
dent, it is probably already laid on the
shelf The Committee will make their
report and it is understood the majority
are of opinion that the trial should not
be proceeded with
1t is easier to say what should not be,
than it is to say what should be done.
Congress must take hold of the inan-
.cial questions and satisfy the people
ahat they are actuated by a sincere de.
sire to fix csr currency upon a substan-
=
tial basis and to manage the National
Debt SO that there shall be neither
danger ofrepudistion, on the one hand,
nor excessive taxation and injury to the

Progress of Recon,truc,ion.

1t may be of use to recite briefly the
steps that have been taken in the mat
| ter of Reconstruction, so far as author
lied by the acts Of Congress, and those
that have yet to be taken before Recon
struction is complete; 3 iels9sr
FIRsT.-Congress provided for reg
istration of voters in the Southern
States. This has been accomplished.
SEcoND-Congress provided for
elections in those States, in which the
registered voters were to vote for or
against Conventions to frame new Con
stitutions, and at the same time for Del
egates to such Conventions. These
elections have all been ordered, and
most of them have been held; ali, 50
far, deciding in favor Of the Conven-
tons. Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Georgia have voted and the Con-
ventious have been called. All the
Conventions are TO be held within sixty
days after the elections. s,
THIRD.-When the Conventions meet
they are to frame Constitutions and
ciVi governments according to the pro-
visions of the two Reconstruction acts.
What that is viii be seen by reference
to the fifth section of the Reconstruction
act; which requires that the reformed
Constitutions shall be Gin conformity
with the Constitution of the United
States in all respects" and that they
shall secure the elective franchise to all
persons who were electors under the
previous registry. Briefly, the Consti-
tutions are to declare general suffrage.
FoURTH.-After the Constitutions
shall have been framed by the Conyeu-
tions they are to be submitted to the
registered voters, within thirty days, for
their adoption or rejection.
FIFTH.-Ifmore than half the votes
cast in each State are in favor of the
adoption of the Constitutions, copies are
to be transmitted TO the President, who,
in turn, must transmit them to Con-
gress. -i5I
sIxrH.-If Congress approve the
Constitutions, the States can 60 on and
elect Legislatures; and when the Leg
isiatures have ratified the Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
giving equal legal rights to all citizens,
then military interference in those States
is to cease, and their Senators and Re
representatives. will be admitted to seats
in Congress.
From this the reader will see what
the Republican measures of Reconstruc-
ton are, and what has been accomplish
ed under them, as wen as what yet re-
mains to be done. The work is easy,
and may be quickly performed by the
Southern States. s I'm.
