TEE NATIONAL and international spectaoular dis
plays in Europe this summer are Of the most gor-
geous kind. In Rome, the capital OF Catholic
Christendom, the Pope has prepared display
which will surpass anything in the recent history
Of Papacy. The anniversary Of the martyrdom OF
pRrER and PAUL is to be celebrated with all the
pomp and splendor Of which Rome is capable,
The dienitaries of the Catholic Church from all
Quarters and countries Of the world are now as
sembling round the Holy Father, bearing with
them golden gifts and costly presents, which are
TO be laid at his feet; and, Judging by the num-
bers who have gone from this country, we may
form some idea of the array which will appear on
the present occasion. Saints are to be canonized
and variety OF other things are to be done, too
numerous to mention. When the day arrives and
the ceremonies begin, there will be sacred and
scenic dis play such as can be gotten up nowhere
but In Rome. ..-
TIE Isp1CrMxNrs presented against the mem-
bers Of the Constitutional Convention OF louisiana
for. holding the Convention, interrupted by the
riot in New Orleans last July, which were found by
Grand Jury under charge Of Judge ABE1I, since
removed by General SHERIDAN, has been set aside,
and noQe pros. has been entered on motion Of At
torney General LYNCH. The Attorney-General
argued that the holding OF the Convention was no
crime, offence or misdemeanor, and that the Con-
stitution and laws secure the right Of all citizens
to assemble and deliberate peaceably.
EsooBEDo has issued IN address to the Mexican
soldiers in eulogy Of their bravery and congratu-
lation of their success, and pledging himself to
restore peace and order to the country. His
method Of restoring "peace and order" consists
in shooting all who differ with him, That plan
has boen pursued in Mexico for the last twenty
years, and the results can bc seen in tho present
condition Of that nation.

1.-THE camel train which has been In town for
the past three days" says the Virginia IN. T,)
Enterprise Of May 18th, '1eft yesterday for the
ranch Of their owner, somewhere in Lyon County,
ON the Fort Churchill Road. There were but six
full grown ones here, but there are eleven more
on the ranch. They came to the oity loaded with
coal. Next week the whole seventeen will be load
ed for the Silver Beno'mines. Among those that
vere here was young one about three weeks old.
II was very pretty little creature, with two soft,
silky humps on its back, and allowed itself to be
fondled BY ell who chose to handle it-in fact, was
"a tame AZ Kitten. Several Of the animals have
haon horn and raised In this State, and we may
nov. claim that the camel is as completely accli-
n.te5 here as any other Of our domestic beasts OF
burden.

A New Crime.

A majority of the committee on the elect
i've franchise, in the Alabama constitutional
convention, have submitted a report, propos
ING. among other causes for isfranchisement,
that "Those who, being registered at pres
emf. shall. at the next election, refuse to vote,
for or against the ratification of the consti-
tntiop, shall thenceforward be DISTINGUISHED"
In other words, the black Jacobins in Ala
bama propose, in the outset of their political
domination, to make the refusal or neglect
to vote crime which shall disqualify the
citizen from ever afterward exercising the
elective franchise.
The ingenuity of Jaeobinism in discover
ing and inventing excuses for punishing
white men in the south could not be better
illustrated than it is by this proposition. In
Missouri and Tennessee, Jacobinism has
made it crime to vote without taking an
''iron clad" oath. In other states, congress
has made it crime for white men to vote.
with or without an oath. The only way In
which a new crime can be added to this cat
alCgue is to make it crime not to vote.
This is what the white JacObins in Alabama
now propose to do. Thus, one set of white
men will be DISTINGUISHED for voting, and an
other set for not voting. Between the two,
Iowa. Ethiopia will have pretty ''full swing"
1t is patent to any man with grain OF
common sense that peace Will never be re-
stored to the south by any such process as
this. 1t may be, and doubtless will prove to
be, rather efficient instrumentality in the
Jacobin process of "organizing hell' in the
southern states; and this, probably, is the
reason why it is advanced.-C Chicago Times.

Sherman and Sheridan.

All radical Chicago is, or pretends to be,
convulsed over the anticipated arrival of
Sheridan Gen. Sherman was in town yes.
terday, and not radical rendered him an
ovation.
Sheridan rode up and down the Shenan-
doah valley. Sometimes he rode behind
Early. and quite as often Early rode behind
Sheridan. Sherman rode from Atlanta to
the Atlantic. He was behind the enemy all
the time In no case was the enemy behind
Sherman.
Hence, both Sherman and Sheridan have
had ride The ride of the former was to
the ride of the latter as cubic miles are to
atoms. Shermans ride having been the
longest, why does radicalism give one rider
an ovation, and the other rider no more than
the eivility of an announcement of his arri-
val?
Sheridan received the surrender of a foe.
So did Sherman. When Sheridan received
the surrender of his foe, he got small par.
| tisan leader named Early, few thousand
half starved prisoners, and good many OF
his own cannon. When Sherman received
the surrender of his foe, he got q mighty
leader named Johnston, an immense army,
| and all the war material of the enemy. The
surrender to Sheridan simply rid the country
of a small nuisance. The surrender to Sher-
man rid the country of vast, desolating
war. Why, in view of these Differences in
the..surrender made to the two leaders, does
radicalism grow rapturous over the arrival
OF Sheridan, and remain impassive over the
arrival of Sherman?
Sheridan made a charge at Five Forks.
Sherman charged all the way from Chatia-
nooga to Atlanta The charge at Five Forks
was over level ground, and against de-
moralized, retreating foe. The charge of
Sherman from Chattanooga to Atlanta was
against almost impossible mountains, de-
Tended by brave and resolute enemy. Why,
in view of the marked difference Of these
charges, does Chicago radicalism appoint q
committee to fae Sheridan. and leave Sher-
man to the empty compliment of a "person-
all in the city newspapers?
Since the war closed, Sheridan has been
in New Orleans, string up further strife,
and intensifying the hostilines existing be-
tween the white and black races. Since the
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-11-16

close of the war, Sherman has been on the
plains, quoting the difficulties existing De-
tween the white and red races. Sheridan, as
a satrap in New Orleans, cost the country
hundreds of thousands ofdollars. Sherman,
as a peace commissioner on the plains, has
saveii The country millions in the expense OF
of carving on useless and barbarous war.
Strife followed the footsteps OF Sheridan.
Peace followed the footsteps OF Sherman.
In view of these great differences between
the courses taken by the two generals since
the close of the war, why is it that the COM
ing of Sherman produces no emotion OF Joy
among radicals, while the coming OF Sher-
idan is being prepared for by gorgeous
ovation? O,
The first syllables of the names of Sher-
man and Sheridan are alike; the endlngs
differ, precisely as do the generals them
selves. There is man in the case OF one,
and none in the case of the other. why is
it that Chicago radicalism gives no recep'
ton to one who is great man and great
soldier, and grand reception to another who
is neither great soldier nor a great man

This makes a total of I76, or II more
than necessary. When we see in one year a
change of $4,000 in the radical majority in
Massachusetts, may we not even hope for
that fossil state, and still more SO for New
Hampshire and Maine. Then there are
several other states, such as Maine, Rhode
Island, Michigan, Missouri, and Kansas,
which will probably cut loose from radical
rule within the coming year, and it will be
impossible, with all their hardihood of action
and defiance of the constitution, for the ex.
tremists to negroize all the southern states.

for the conservative candidate. Though
