One o. the abstruse questions which bother
cd the heads Of the learned theologafs of the
Middle Ages has just been revived by the New
York World. 1t is the question which Long
fellow puts concisely In the Golden legend
| namely;s q a.. -
ssWhetber angels in going from place 70 place,
~ Pass through the intermediate space
The World, commenting upon the recent
elections in Maine and California, after remark
mo that these two States lie at the extremities
| of a yeiy long line, assumes that the Democrat
ic ideas which are found to be active at both
ends of tie line must necessarily have an ex
istence all the way across the continent. This
is plausible, but we respectfully submit that
the angels of darkness who disseminate Demo-
cratic ideas do not necessarily pass through the
intermediate space. They may go around, or
dnder, which would be in accordance with
their nature; but it is not to be inferred from
their appearance at two remote points that
they have been busy all along the connecting
line. Besides, there are no Democratic ideas,
either in California or Maine, and hence it is
unnecessary to assume the existence of troop
| of Democratic devils to account for what does
not exist. The Democratic party is party
i I
long time ago. but they were perishable goods
| and have long since decayed and vanished
There are not only no Democratic ideas but
| there have been no considerable Democratic
| gains in either State. In California the Re-
publican party was divided, and the Democrat
ic vote under the circumstances carried the
election. In Maine the Republican party was
not divided, and the Democratic vote unde,
the circumstances did not carry the election.
| Even if there had been more remarkabl.
similarity IN the circumstances of the two cleo
tions, it would not follow that the same cir
cumstances would affect intervening States
"The sun which,, as the World POLITICALLY says
rises upon the citizens OF Maine from the
sparkling waters of Passamaquoddy Bay, mus
climb up into the heavens for four hours be
fore his morning beams gild the farthest sum
mits of the Rocky Mountains, and burnsih tn,
Bay ofSan Francisco" 1t follows that while tn
people OF San Francisco are eating their eigh
o'clock breakfast the Quoddy fishermen ar
sitting down TO an early dinner at twelve HI,
does the World argue that the people in all tn
intermediate States will be eating and dripkin
and making merry at that particular moment b,
cause the Cslifornians and the people of Main
happen to agree so nearly? The World wi
! find thateven when "causes are found to OF
crate in the same manner upon two strane.
States which stand as sentnels on the extren
boundaries of the republic" it is not safe
assume that their operations has been gener
throughout the intervening continent" b,
common sense is perhaps too much to expe
OF party which in New York actually fred
hundred guns over the news that they hs
been beaten again in Maine by only 14,Oi
votes! 3tE3H ~ atin3l.os 1iiit5J -N

d The NUMBRR OF THE UNpARpoNEp RE
BRIS.--Dixon,i in his last Washington dispatch
estimates the number of rebels remaining un-
pardoned, according to the Presi dental inter-
probation, as follows: 'the so called president
vice-president, eight cabinet ministers, about
twenty State governors, five generals, ten lieu
tenant generals, about thirty major generals,
two or three hundred breyet major generals,
and perhaps two hundred confederate agents
abroad. No estimate can be made of the mum
Der excepted for being implicated in the assasi-
nation of Lincoln, and as having been indicted

seems likely to arise as to whether brigadiel
generals who have been brevetted are pardon

SIcKLEs AND THE MEN WHO CALLED TO SEE
HIM. = A New York paper gives highly
wrought account of the return of Gen. Sickles
to New York Though the General does not
return in tliumph,fas Alcibiades returned to
Athens, he has won both military and civil
laurels, and perhaps deserves description of
himself and his callers as full as the following:
Major eneral Daniel E. Sickles, formerly
in command of the Second Military District of
the United States, arrived in this city on Mon
day morning by the steamship Manhattan from
Charleston, S. G. The General was accompa-
MED by his daughter, servants, Colonel E. w.
Dennis, Judge Advocate, and Captain j. w
Clous, A. A. A. G., both gentlemen being
members of the Generals staff Gen. Sickles,
who has been removed from his command by
the President of the United States, for some
reason unknown to the General, is stopping al
the Brevoort House, awaiting orders from
| Washington. On his arrival at the city, Gen.
Sickles went directly to the Brevoort House,
where suite of rooms had been engaged for
him, and after receiving anumber of calls, the
visitors calling as testimony of respect to the
General for the honorable and statesman-like
| canrse pursued by him during his administra-
ton OF the Second Military District of the
| South; ne made a hasty call upon his father
| ana mother IN Abingdon Square. The Gener-
Ais In excellent health, although he had a
| very boisterOus passage from Charleston To
| this city. The General wore the undress uni-
form of his rank in the army and looks exactlv
as he did on the memorable day at Gettysburg
when doing his duty CALAMITY, his right leo
| was shot to pieces, and as he did at ChanceE
louisville, when with his Third Corps he stayed
the rout of the Union army and restored order
and organization to tumultuous chaos of fu-
| gitives. There is the same cool, calm eye, well
cut chin, stern, soldierly face and cropped mill
| tary hair, making him a perfect type of the
| French infantry officer, SO well known in Yer
nets and Charpentiers pictures ofGallic mill
tary life. During the day a number of distn-
| guished gentlemen called upon the General to
| renew old intmaces and friendships, and to
testify appreciation of his late career as a sol
| der and citizen. All parties and shades Of
| public opinion were represented among the
visitors. There was John b. Haskin's burly
form, bluf, manly voice, well known as lead
| er in the Democratic ranks, the fragile form
and full face of William M. Evarts, the cruelty
| quiet face of Major General Dan. Butterfieli
formerly IN command of the Twentieth Corps
Gems. Sharham and Brewster, both of whom
at one time commanded Sickness Excelsior
Brigade, Gen. Tremaine, and number other
distinguished gentlemen. The General receiy-
ed his visitors in quiet, unassuming manner
| without any pretanse or attempt at demonstra.
| ton. Gen. Siciles desires to have it known
that he does net seek notoriety or public dis
| play, and intends during his stay in the CITY to
remain perfectly quiet and retired from public
observation. '.' " =
