THE ROudN PFVOLUTJON

On the first news being received OF the revo-
lutionary outbreak in the Papal States, we
EXPRESSED the opinion that while the immediate
success Of the military movement might be
doubtful. the immense influence of the revOlu-
ton upon public opinion could he regarded as
certain. Our dispatches in this mornings issue
confirm the correctness of this view. Garbaldi's
arrest, and his noble conduct during his inn
prisonment, have been the mirror in which
tho Italian nation have seen their true
position. The disgraceful timidty of the Gov
ernment, which to all the soul-stirring adj
dresses Of Garibaldi and his friends could only
reply, We must await the order OF Louis Ma
poleon, and like dOcile slaves execute his will.
has fully aroused the national Indignation
The Italians "a nation begin to speak out
against France, as some years ago they used
to speak out against Austria. The press, we
are told in one of the dispatches, is almost
a unit in fayoring the seizure of Rome
by the Government. The Party of Action
has acted wisely, We think. in preferring even
now the moral coercion of the National Govern
ment, however detested for its recent conduct
to an open revolt. 1t requires the combined
strength OF the nation to settle this Roman
question, and ON that account it is well II the
Government, though reluctantly, is again
pushed to the helm of the irresistible current.
OF course, the strength of the Party of Action
increases at the same time, and when the union
of Italy shall have been c0nsummated the pros
poets of the most progressive wing of the Italian
Liberals will be more promising than they were
ever before.
Several sharp fights are r.ported to-day to
have taken place in the Province of Viterbo,
and to have all resulted in favor OF the lnsur-
gents. These fresh victories must increase the
enthusiasm for Garibald already shaking
the whole of Italy but they are hardly as
important as tho great moral revolution OF
public opinion whose complete success seems
to be fully secured
All the world now asks. What will Louis
NaDoleon dof Will he confess himself beaten,
and withdraw before the threats of the Garibal-
dians. as he withdrew from Mexico and Lux
emburgq or will he send out another Roman
exDedtion at the risk of n war with the Italian
nationf We shall soon know. In the mean
while. whatever yicissitudes may sill be
in store for the brave army of the
Roman insurgents, whatever cowardce may
still be exhibited by the Italian Government
the magic influence which Garibaldi has once
more exercisedsupon his country already stands
forth as an accomplished victory. Those were
mistaken who lost their faith in the Llberator
of Italy on account of the defeat at Aspromonte
and the arrest at Sinalunga. The luster that
encirces Garibaldi is now greater than it was in
1859, when the prestige of his name had con
auered one half of the Peninsula. His nation
looks up to him as its greatest man. and proud
ly realizes that there is no second nation in
Europe that has Garibaldi as i leader.

gress called it into existence Ivy
extending suffrage to the blacks. Immediately,
the impending war of races was changed to a
wondrous scene of billing and cooling, in which
leading Rebels We'd with each other in accept
ing the situation and in patrOnizing and instruct
ing the black vote. AS by magic the negro
killers dessted from their chivalrOus pursuit. not
knowing how soon blacks might have the law
ful power to punish them. Legislatures allowed
blacks to testify. The stream of Justice began
to lave the sweating brow of oppressed Labor.
The thought of restoring Slavery was no more.
I'm all but the nero formula Of electing State
governments, and admitting Representatives
to Congress- the South was at peace The bal
lot was peace!
What if President is sOured because the
peace did not come by his plan, and did come
by anOtherf What if some thousands OF lag
gard Republicans fail TO come TO the polls and
vote to sustain these results ms they ought TO-
Does that mean that the nation has decided to
reverse impartial suffrage, the very promise OF
which, discounted in advance by the whole
South, has brought peace ere yet ballot has
been casts Does it mean that we are to
cOnsign the black race, and with it the white,
of the South again to Saveryf by no means!
The Democratic party can as well repeal
Emancipation or the Declaration of Independ-
ence as impartial suffrage. Whatever may be
the course of future elections, reconstruction
will, beyond peradventure, go on in the man
ner enacted by Congress, and refusal to CO.
operate therein by the Rebel vote of the South
will only result in their self-exclusiOn from all
offices and power in the State and National
Governments. If they by their inaction volun-
tarily hand over the government of their States
to the blacks, theirs be the blame. We have
reason to believe the blacks alone would prove
quite as good governors as the whites alone
have been. They certainly could do no worse,
either for the South or for the Union.

From the few reports of the Presidential
election in Mexico which at the date of our
Mexican correspondence had been received in
the capital, it appeared to be certain that
President Juarez had been reelected. The fate
of the Constitutional Amendments, on the other
hand. which in the COnrOcdtOriG of ele Presi-
dent were submitted to a popular vote, is sup
posed to be doubtful. The claim of Juarez TO
propose, of his own accord, constitutional
amendments, was strongly opposed as uncon-
stitutional by several Governors of States, but
the opposition kept itself within the bounds
of the law, and the peace of the Republic has
not been disturbed.

editor of this paper never said one word TO a
Rebel looking to Peace, save in response to
overtures from him. Hereupon the Great Re
collector shows that we once wrote private
letter to President Lincoln urging him to give
courteous reception to any overtures for
Peace that might be made to him from Rich
mond. Does the Recoector call Mr.. as well
as Mrs. Lincoln Rebel?

A circular, purporting to be issued 10y Her
schel V. Johnson & Co., offers to undertake
the collection, through the Court of Claims or
Congress, of the tax on cotton, whether here
tofore paid or hereafter to be paid. One-half
of the proceeds is to be retained by the col
lectors for Expenses including bribes and
lobby fees, and for their services; the other
half to be returned to the party paying the
tax. OF course the undertaking relies on the
supposed ability of Herschel V. Johnson g. Co,
through Democratic votes, to get their hands
into the public treasury. This accomplished,
they could as easily collect the cotton-tax at the
halves as anything else. Bat the grapes hang
too high Nevertheless, it is interesting to
know in advance the use which leading Demo
Gratis would make of Congress, Cabinet officers,
and the Court of Claims, if they get the con-
troll of them. The cotton-tax is but one ex-
cuse among many that would exist for thrust
ing their arms up 10 elbows in the National
Treasury No wonder Mr. Herschel V. John
son descends upon us like an avalanche with
his four-column arguments for the Presidents
policy and for Democracy generally. He has
reasons for il, which being issued by the Gov
ernment, and declared by law to be legal
tender in payment of all debts, public and pr-
vate, are worth at least 75 cents on the dollar,

Sunday LIOVOR SELLING.

The effects of the enforcement of the clause
of the Excise law forbiddinG the sale Of liquor
on Sunday are thus summed up by recent
circular from the Sabbath Committee. Prior
TO this law, there were in the Metropolitan
District $3.50 lquor-shops, of which $500 did
not even pay for a license. The law has dimin-
ished the number of liquor shops by 5000, and
has wholly stopped the sale of liquor IN the gro
Gerry stores The number Of arrests on Sundays
has decreased one-half On the first hiteen
Sundays of its operation, the number oil arrests
for drunkenness was less by 7lS than during
the like fifteen Sundays of the previous year.
In July and August, 1867, there were 4l2 arrests
on Sunday, against S31 in the previous year.
Prior TO the law there were more arrests on
Sunday than any other day. Now there are
less than half as many. Then the city derived
little or no revenue to offset the expense of
the crime and pauperism produced by rum.
The law has contributed $2,j000OO to the relief
of our taxpayers.
The outcry that the law interferes with
"civil and religious liberty" is ridiculous. 1t
simply forbds the sale of liquor and beer on
Sundays. Is it part of any mans religion to sell
beerP The Christian Sabbath, as a legal institu
ton regulated by the State, is at least sixteen
centuries old Ii has been regulated by every
Christian Government since Constantine. All
political parties in all the States and cities of
the Union have enacted Sunday laws. Fernando
Wood, when Mayor of the City OF New-YOIk,
on March 90, 1866, approved an ordinance for
bidding the sale on Sunday of wine, ale, and
lager beer, as well as other strong drinks. Our
State has never been without statute OF this
kind, whatever parties were i'll power. The
Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals have
unanimously affirmed its constitutonalty. The
Door need it, for it lessons poverty. The crm-
nal needs it, for it protects him in part from
crime. The m-seller needs it, for all that he
wants is to make money, and no man can make
any more money by tOiling seven days than
by working six and resting on the seventh.
The working classes, husbands, wives, and
children need it, since of all modes
of rest and amusement, drinking rum
on Sunday is the most costly and
degrading The orderly and Christian portion
of the community cannot dispense with it,
since it is impossible for half the community
to rest or worship while the other half are
drunk and roting. If every voter who belongs
to either of the above classes will find out what
candidates he must vote for TO sustain the law,
aud will vote for them, it will he unanimously
sustained. A law which can do SO much good
in two years ought to be tried for two years
more.

The most westerly Inhabited point in the

nearly so degrees beyond the western cape of

The Republican Banner (Nashville) says:

BY such shameless, brazen mendacity, the
Press is shom of its legitimate influence and
power. The careless multitude, observing that
some journals utter the truth or falsehood, as
seems to them convenient, jump at the con-
cluson that journalists are Ill liars and that
nothing in a newspaper is trustworthy.
We venture the assertion that this Tennes-
seean has forty times congratulated his readers
on the occurrences which-in his view as in
ours-clearly avowed the Executive and Judi
cial branches of the Government were not
controlled by Republicans. His contempt for
their intelligence may be justified 10y the fact
that he supplies them with information; but
how dare he evince 50 low an estimate of their
moral senses

"And especially is this true. when. as in our case the

sanction"
The Last War with Great Britain and the
Mexican War were profoundly condemned by
a very large portion of our people. Did that
