The Mobile riot 10 an indication of the
future. 1t points the way events are
tending, Many such riots, many instan-
oes of savage slaughter in Southern cit
les must be the consequence of the asi-
tation made by Radical orators-at-
tempts to cram hateful political doc
trine down the throats of the Southern
people; those attempts exciting to vio-
lent acts, not the respectable people of
the Southern States, but the secesh fire.
brands, the penniless, reckless remnants
of the Southern armies, with nothing
to lose, and natural taste, to gEatify in
tumult, bloodshed and plunder.
1t is easy for the North, quietly looking
on, spectators to the terrible struggle, to
see what must be the issue. We tie a
people down by military law-we tell
them that their States have no political
existence justnOw, that they are only
free to pursue the ordinary course of
business and social life, and must leave
the rest alone. They acquiesce and 60
on as quietly as heart could wish, eager
only to be quiet-grateful for rest from
political turmoil and for the chance to
cultivate their fields. But, presto be-
fore the ink of our military laws is dry,
we let loose on them political emissa-
ries; propagandists, agitators, to start
again that very political life that we
have said for the present must be eX-
tinct. We show them that they may
60 into politics as much as they like, if
they go on the right side, and we hint
broadly that we are ready to distribute
Southern lands freely to the class that
will bid highest for them in Republican
votes.
1t is useless to cover our eyes-we
may shut out the view, but the game
goes on. What Wilson will do plaus-
IDLY and blandly, the Hayw woods and
Hunnicuts will do extravagantly, saw
agely, and even without decent at
tempt to cover bad purpose. Even
Judge Kelley puts forth braggart invi-
tations for some one to tread on the tail
of his coat; and he twists the. United
States army into o most convenient
shillalah with which to damage all
heads that may come in his way in this
fine faction fight. No one at the North
is deceived by such fume-no one here
listens with respect to any mans declar-
alton that he will come with the whole
United States army behind him, if he
cannot otherwise pump Republican
doctrine into the open ears of the
whole South. But these things are
heard differently at the places where
they are spoken. People who live in
the track of Sherman's army know what
such threat means-though perhaps
Judge Kelley does not: and the threat
that is mere rhetoric to him is to them
a remembrance of horrible reality,
and reawakes savage thoughts already
soethed into a half sleep by progressive
reconstruction. Such phrases, also, are
taken by the blacks for positive prom
ises, and through them irritate the
whites even more than when fresh from
the mouth Of the orator. Thus they
start bad passions, irritate, annOv, ex-
cite even the best disposed people; and
the worst disposed people need only
such preteXts.

TIE Importance of single vote is
often felt in elections, like some that
will occur in one or two of our city
townships to-day. A single vote may
determine the choice of an important
office. Six more votes would have given
the Democrats a majority in tho Con-
necticut Legislature. Let every DEM
ocrat remember the value of his ballot
and deposit it for his party's nominees.

NhNS NOh

This pithy phrase of the late President owed
its great currency at the time it was uttered,
TO the practical character and impatient temper
of the American people. 1t was felt that the
war languished, and without caring anything
for the excuses, the people lost all patience
with commanders who aimed at results which
were not achieved. The homely shrewdhess of
comparing them to "augers that would not
bore" exactly hit the public feeling, and taking
advantage of the prevailing eagerness for sue
cess. President Lincoln was able to depose gene
rails, issue emancipation proclamations, i'm
prison citizens, and perform other strong acts
with the concurrence OF the country. General
Scott was first flung away, despite his illustrious
! character and great fame: General Mcclellan
| followed after longer trial, Notwithstanding
! his uneaualled accomplishments as soldier,
and the enthusiastic devotion OF his troops; and

Pocketing Laws.

From the Tribune. -r,saa i-,,. .-....-s..s ....
Congress, early in January, passed two i'm
portant bills, one repeating the amnesty powers
the President, the other regulating the
electvelfranchsei in the Territories On Thursday
the Committee on Enrolled Bills reported that
the President had failed either to sign or return
the bills within the legal period allowed him
for consideration, and they had, therefore by
the provisions of the Constitution, become laws
The Committee further reported t,at they had
not been ublished as laws, and offered a reso-
luton that the Secretary of State should inform
the House 1t the bills had been tlled in his De-
partment. This oution was adopted.
In this case the President has plainly pocketed
not only the bill but the law, and nnlllted, at
least for the time, the Constitution itself The
Constitution declares that itany bill shall not
be returned by the President within ten days
(Sundays excepted) latter ii shall have been
presented TO him. the same shall be law in
| like manner as II he had signed 1t, Land the
laws OF the United states require that In such
cases the bin shall be filed With the Secretary
OF State, to be published by him as laws. The
Chairman OF the Committee on, Enrolled Bills
| stated and we believe correctly that this
was the frst Instance in the history OF the
| Government in which thee official duty
had not been performed, and the, Speaker
! quoted precedents showing that Mr., Buchanan

they had become laws. Mr.. johnson, therefore,
