BLACK kLoyALEY sumner talks in the
Senate of the United States continually about
/ black loyalty" says the Old 1Gnard. Not
len, in the whole course of his pernicions
life, has he been SO nearly right; for loyalty
is black, as black as negro's face, and as
old Satans heart. It is q thing which no
Christian should tolerate, and which every
white man should be ashamed of. Loyalty
is not a whit less reasonable, butt is a good
deal dirtier than it was during our revolu-
tionary struggle for freedom. Loyalty then
was supported by the genius of Benedict
Arnold; butsnow it has on its side the moral
filth of Den. Butler,ga Dick Bnsteed, a
Stanton and Holt. Never since the history
of human abomination was loyalty reduced to
such a'beggarly aud contemplate condition.

Keep Your Mouth Shut.

Under the above caption, the Will
mington Journal, in an article on the
conduct of the Southern people, says
Taking into consideration the Pc
culiar organization of Southern So
ciety, our habits o f life, education
and associations, we doubt if any peo-
pie have ever suffered as keenly, or
been compelled to feel moro acutely,
the bitter consequences of failure
than we have. It is o. marvel to us
that we have not followed the advice
given by Jobs wife, to the bilious
and suffering patriarch, to curse
God and die By the way, that
woman was n trump; we have always
admired her candor and straight-for-
wardness in speaking out her
thoughts, and have felt disposed to
look with leniency upon her violent
ebullition of temper; for she must
have had hard time of it with old
Job and hisboils.
cit is wonderful, we repeat, how
we'll our people have borne them
selves under the terrible .calamities
they have been called upon to en-
dure. Still there is room for i'm
provement in many ways. It does
no good to attempt to kick against
the pricks; there is no earthly use in
arguing questions of national poll
cy With n hostile and overwhelming
maj jority against us; it but adds fuel
to the flame. Let us keep our mouths
shut; what right have we poor devils
to an opinion, or rather the express
sion of one? It may be difficult to
curb that unruly member, and we
know from experience that it is; but
time and philosophy will work won
ders. Keep the mouth shut, and q
bride on the tongue, and we will es-
cape many troubles and annoyances.
Give full swing to the imagination,
if so disposed, and revel to safety in
the realms of fancy, OF, like the owl
i'll the fable, keep up n devil of
o thinking, but be careful not to
think aloud. In plain English, keep
your mouth shut, by doing which
you may escape disease to the natural
body, and can certainly 90 no injury
to the body polite"

lead the Governmentand the country
to at last, if not crushed out by vir-
tuous public opinion, it is not diff
cult to foresee; the days of repubi-
canism and free government will be
numbered, and infidelity, anarchy
and despotism assume full sway.
Since writing the above, we find an
article in the New York Times, of
Monday, from which we extract the
following paragraph:
"We speak what hundreds of men
know, from personal experience, that
no bill whose passage will confer Pc
cunlary advantage upon any man or
any corporation, can be passed in
Albany, except by bribery-except by
paying members TO pass ii. No man
can get his rights, or prevent serious
damage to his private interests, or
avert ruin from himself and his
family, except by bribery. That is
the actual state of things in the Le-
gislature. What are men to do, under
such state of things? What is q
man to do, who hands over his purse
to the highway robber who presents
pistol to his head and demands it?
He must bride the robber. Yet the
law Furnishes both him and the rob-
ber alike. If the victim afterward
disclose the fact, and come forward
as witness against the ruffian, he
simply seals his own doom-whileth
robber either goes unscathed, or is
pardoned by Governor who wants
his influence and his votep'

Financial Trouble.

Some days ago, we announced
that the New York Chamber of Com
merce had passed resolutions recon-
mending rs q first necessity in the
direction OF specie payments, that the
Federal Treasury should cautiously
and steadfastly adhere to the policy
OF contraction of the paper currency.
This action is rightly receiving that
degree of consideration which its
Importance demands, and, indeed,
the Influential voice of the CONNER
clal community everywhere could
not be more advantageously used
than to propagate sound opinions,
and to refute mischievous error re-
lntive to this practical but much
vezed question. At this time, from
various causes, the business enter.
prise throughout the country is suf-
fering from fear of some impend-
ing convulsion, the result of which
will be sudden, immediate return to
specie payments; bli Ihis is perhaps
more than is likely to be realized.
The prudent business men of the
community may be cautiously pre-
pairing for the storm, and that very
preparation may avert it, or ut least
lessen its final force; but after the
years of excitement and stimulus
that we have had, and the great
superstructnre of expansion, built
upon the basis of business and ope-
rations that is now daily narrowing,
seems inevitable that, spite of oil
the skill that may be exercised, more
or less of toppling down must
come. The Financial Chronicle says:
"Our financial bark has drifted far
out of the current of specie pay
ments. And she must be brought
back, not by violent mnneuvre,
which might destroy her, but by
gradual, well-directed, well-sustained
seamanship." This view is sound,
and it is to be hoped it may be real
lied. The Chronicle thinks that to
attempt sudden resumption of specie
payments under the coin standard
would be to court disasters such rs
the country in no former panic ever
endured
But, on the other hand, the want
of some sure and practicable policy
A'Ato NihCOtiy IOWuloo SpcClc re-
sumption will be equally fatal in its
results. The warming of trouble is
written on the wall The continued
initiation of the currency, the high
rents and high prices of food, urge
the laborers of the country to de
mand higher wages; the dullness of
business and small consumptions of
goods and wares make manufactur-
ers indifferent to the demands of
their employees, and they prefer
often to suspend operations rather
than yield to the wants of the
laborer. The accumulated stocks
of the manufacturers will enable
them to do this with greater pecnni-
ary safety than to keep up work on
a dull market, but the suffering will
be endured by those who are least
prepared and least able to bear it.
Some ordeal, ut best, to reach the
turning point towards healthy
condition, has to be gone through.
The sooner, perhaps, that it hns
come and passed, the better. Then
will the country once moro have
currency on the specie standard

WAR PANIC New YORK He
raid, of the 9th, says:

raid, of the 9th, says:
The cable, this morning, brings
interesting and important news from
Europe. A war panic has broken
out in London and Berlin, and while
it is not stated what particular event
has led to the sudden alarm, it is evil
dent that in both those cities the
course of the Emperor Napoleon is
regarded as threatening n speedy in
terruption of the existing peace. The
press dispatches from London state
that the uncertainty in regard to the
French Emperors action, and the
fear that he will adopt n warlike
policy, have created distrust among
business men and occasioned great
depression in commercial and finan-
cial circles in that city and in Paris;
and lat in the day, we are told that
this feeling increased to o war panic.
Our special telegram from Berlin is
of still greater importance. From
that, we learn that the intelligence
from Paris was regarded of such
momentous and alarming character as
to induce King William to give au-
dience to Count Bismarck at the
palace, at . o'clock, on Sunday morn
ing.
The effect of this news was felt in
the markets in all the principal cities.
British consols tumbled one per cent.
French rentes experienced sharp
decline, and, in London, American
five-twenties sunk to 7334. The first
rumor Of the trouble created consi-
derable excitement on Wall street,
yesterday morning, and gold rose
three or four per cent. upon the
strength of the news. AS another
speck of war, it is also announced
that the British Government, having
failed hitherto in her attempts to
bring Spain to a sense of Justice, had
despatched several ships of war to
Cadiz to enforce the claims growing
out OF the seizure of the Tornado.

No Place Lake Homo.

Under this caption, the New York
San has an article, from which we
extract the following:
Many prominent Southerners went
to Mexico; many went to Europe;
some sought freedom in South Anne
rica. But their success in foreign
lands was not fattering, and one
by one they have been returning to
their native country, satisfied, ap-
parently, that they can be happier
and more prosperous here, despite
their political misfortunes, than any
where else. The Mexican adventur-
ers are nearly all back again, and
pronounce themselves in favor of
making the best of circumstances.
They have discovered in their alb
sence that the United States Go
vernment, bad as they professedly
believed it, is still to be preferred
to any other they can find. What
IS somewhat remarkable is, that
those who were the most fierce and
uncompromising enemies of the Co
vernment are now the most content
ed and energetic under the new
regime. Wade Hampton, who was
almost the last to admit the de-
feat of the Confederate army, has
been the first to address the negroes
kindly on the question of suffrage.
Sterling Price has given up his
coffee plantation in Mexico, and
gone to his old home in Missouri.
General Buckner, too, has returned,
with intentions of remaining. Many
others less famous have abandoned
their foreign adventures, and will
content themselves hereafter under
the stars and stripes. Generals
Hood, Beauregard and Longstreet,
are bnsily engaged in Louisiana, and
take calm and reasonable views of
the reconstruction question. The
people of the South should profit
by the example of the leaders they
followed so faithfully in war, and
settle down to work at home, for
there is no other country where their
prospects will be half so good, though
they must expect a season of trouble
and embarrassment before the re-:
turn of actual prosperity.
