Our Democratic contemporary, in a labored

How to Eat Your own Words.

THAT valiant hero of the flowing pen, Mr..
Joseph H. Bradley, Sr., is just now engaged in
the somewhat disagreeable task of eating his
own words. After his EneHe with Judge
Fisher, he published his challenge in the
public press. OF course, it is customary when
aduel is to be fought to publish it in the news
papers. The days of the tournament, the
defiance, the hurting and picking up of the
glove, have returned; and Bradley rather
thought he was surprising De Bracy in his
style of daring fellow-citzen to mortal COM
bat. But alas for the caitiff degeneracy of our
times The spirit OF chivalry is extinct All
honor is thing of the past Instead of Queen
of Beauty to reward the victor, instead of lists
and steeds and heralds and all that sort of thing
that used to be proper, a miserable hireling,
a minion of the law, proceeds to the residence
of the challenger, and the last seen of the
daring Bradley is when he has to enter $4,000
bail to stand trial for breaking the law
Instead of the "pomp and circumstance of
glorious war;" policeman and magistrates
court are the reward of valor. Yet such things
can be and not overcome us In place of a
successful tilt, Mr.. Bradley is in great danger
of standing an Imprisonment of five years on
the ground of sending a challenge.
In this awkward predicament, the fighting
lawyer is compelled to swallow his own Dose
He states that his letter to Judge Fisher did
not mean challenge, but merely desire to
meet him, in order that an amicable under
standing could be brought about. This is GER
tainly humiliating-to order coffee and pis-
tolls for two and then have to declare that the
weapons were only intended for target prac-
tice. The halo which has surrounded the
valiant lawyer is gradually vanishing, and we
are amazed to find in Bradley nothing more,
and, in fact, something less, than in ordinary
men.

Passage OF the reform Bin.

THE Reform bill has finally passed both
Houses of Parliament, and received the
Queens signature. The practical workings of
the measure remain to be seen. 1t is sproba-
BILE that no sudden or violent changes will be
witnessed. Parties are always more radical
out of power than when in its possession. Still,
such modincations of English laws as are de-
manded by the people must now sooner or
later be made. The number of voters, it is
estimated, win be nearly or quite doubled by
the Reform bill, and so far, at least, the Gov
ernment has become more popular in its char

TEE New York Herald Of this morning thus
lightly touches upon Secretary MoCullooh;-
1--WE are assured, through a special despatch
from Washington, that the relations between
the President and Secretary McCulloch are m ost
pleasant and have been so since Mr.. MoCulloch's
first entrance into the Cabinet. We must con-
olude, then, that Mr.. johnson has been too much
occupied for the last year or so with the Stanton
question TO give any attention to the affairs Of
the Treasury Department. We can assure the
President, however, that If his relations with
the head of the Treasury are most pleasant
those of the country with him are not, aud are
not likely to be, on the road that he has chosen
and is now travelling

Political Nswn-Ths South.

There are said to be five thousand German
votes in the western part OF Texas, which will
be cast Tor tie Republicans. There are about
sixty thousand cOlored votes in the State.
Arkansas has just begun the registration and
Bi:h hop Campbell, of the African M. Il. Church,

In Florida the Republicans are working earn

engaged under the direction ofthe Congressional
committee, besides number of local organizers
to whom aid has been extended,
In Virginia returns of registration from ffty-
hVe cities and counties show a total white maio-
Tlly of 1883. Republican clubs are being
formed in all the magisteral districts of the
Interior. Hon. John s. Pendleton, of Culpeper
county, has been arrested on a charge of per-
jury in having registered. Judge Henry w.
Thomas, OF Fairfax, is under arrest for VIOLA
tion of the Civil Rights BILL IN having refused to
signifed his intention of appointing a successor
TO the late Judge Lyons, OF the Court of Hus-
tings at Richmond. Governor Pierpont ad-
dressed large meeting of whites and blacks at
Norfolk on the night of the 10th instant. He
urged the necessity of the unity of the whites
and blacks in the work of reconstruction as
commenced by Congress. He said there was
to be a new Government in Virginia. Its
principles will be equal rights before the law
for all men and in the advantage of education
and those sReptics standing in the way of re-
publicanlsm would be crushed by the car of
progress.
Registration commenced in Charleston, 8. c.,
on, the 18th, and efforts are being made to
induce every man to register. The colored
population will do so unanimously. On the l4th
644 persons were registered, of whom l62 were
whites and 482 negroes. General Sckes has
declined TO heed the remoustIance of the Board
Of Trade of Charleston, regulating the business
of the Board.

Mr.. McCulloch and His AppOintme ents.

Mr.. McCunOch and His AppOintme
THE Washington correspondent of one of our
morning contemporaries states that great
pressure is being brought to bear upon the
President to secure the removal of Secretary
McCulloch, on the ground that his patronage
is given to opponents of the Administration; in
other words, that the hungry conservatives
do not get as much of the '1oaves and fishes"
as they desire. We do not know how it is
elsewhere, but we can testify that, in this city,
three -fourths of the revenue officers appointed
by Mr.. McCulloch are of the Democratic school.
Indeed, if we were to make any criticism upon
Mr.. McCulloch's management, it would be that
he has sacrificed the true interests of the
revenue service to the exigencies of President
Johnson's political situation, and that the
department is administered not so much in the
interest of the Government as in that of the
Democratic party. We apprehend that this
conservative clamor ag ainst the Secretary
comes from politicians who have failed to use
him to further their own personal ends.

BACK AGAIN. General @. T. Beauregard,
accompanied by General Porter, Of Pennsyl-
vania has been visiting Niagara. While he
was at the Cataract House the redoubtable
Jefferson Davis was across the stream at the
Clifton. He returns South by way of the
Hudson, stopping at West Point. We are at
a loss to conceive how he can return to the
scene of his youthful studies, and revisit the
spot where he learned, at the United States
expense, all that enabled him to do so much
injury to his preceptor. Cadet Beauregard,
who graduated there years ago, with bright
future, when contrasted with the ruined Rebel
of to-day, truly illustrates the motto, ''That
the way of the transgressor is hard"

That .sIIernic PeonIe.N

JUAREz, in his address to the Mexican people,
states that the Republic has been preserved
without any foreign aid, and that the Mexi-
can people have no one to thank for the over
throw of the Empire but themselves. This is
doubtless very Aattering to the vanity of that
vain people, but is so utterly false as to
appear silly. The United States overthrew
the Empire by refusing recognition. The
valiant Mexican people either submitted, or
kept up guerilla warfare against an enemy
not One-tenth as large as themselves. When
ever regular battle was fought they were
whipped, and would to-day, so far as their
own exertiOns are concerned, have been sub
jects of Macmillan, and not citizens OF
republic. We dislike bombast on principle,
but when so entirely false, it becomes silly.
