STRIKING CONTRAST.

The largest thing since the surrender
of Lee, and the German war, is the Rus
sian treaty lately made at Washington,
by which Russia, for a consideration Of
seven million dollars, cedes her Ameri-
can possessions to the United States.
This document has been sent TO the Sen
ate for ratification. The dismay it
caused in that body, and in the Jacobin
ranks generally, may be imagined. AS
a flank movement on the part of the
President, it is difficult to overrate its
importance. The contrast to which it d.
reefs the minds of the people, is striking.
While Congress was growing and snarl-
ing over the impeachment scheme, and
deyising ways and means to turn the
President out of office, be was engaged
in the grand work of absorbing into the
limits of the United States territory
large enough for an empire. Never did
contrast exhibit 4 meaner spectacle
than that exhibited by Congress We
doub. if it can survive SO disgusting
position Its efforts are for miserable
party ends. How proudly the President
appears in this singular picture Lofty
in his conduct, expansive in bis views,
and national in his aspirations, he com
mands the admiration of those whose
interest it is to hate and denounce him.

able in gold and free from government
taxation, rate lower in the market than
Massachusetts Eve per cent bonds, prin
cipal aud interest payable in gold, but

other newspaper answers thus: We
suppose the reason is that Massachu-
sets, founded on Plymouth rock, taxing
the whole country to support its manu-
facturers, and. in time Of var, making
money By fat contracts, instead Of losing
its men aud money BY hghting Is q

GETS HIS DESERTS.

Saturday night last, says a Missouri
paper, the noted Joe Wood one Of
Fletcher militia, went into the saloon
of Joe Geimer, an inofensive citizen Of
Sedalia, No, and commenced knocking
down persons Geimer asked him to de-
sist or leave the saloon. Wood left, but
shortly after returned, and shot Geimer
in the back, killing him almost immedi.
ately. He then went to Leet's Hotel,
and de6ed arrest The people assembled,
took him, put rope around his neck,
dragged him through the streets Of Sc
dalia, and then hung him until life was
extinct, and the bodies Of the murderer
and murdered were buried at the same

eE The election under the rcconstruc.
ton act, to decide about the calling of II
constitutional convention. and elect del
ega;es to it, was held IN Virginia on Tues
day and Wednesday. 1t is now certain
that the convention has been carried by
10000 majority, and that the lIunnicnt
radicals have majority of from 10 to 20
delegates. This seeming victory to the
Republicans must not be estimated for
more than il is worth. True success for
the party Is the prevalence of moderate
ind sensible views, and the rendering of
equal justice to all men. And yet, it is
victory, for Congress. for the Republic
cans, for the cause of justice and the
country. Our only regret is that recon
struction is not in the hands Of those who
hold less extravagant, and more unselfsh,
notions.
