What a MOclkery!

We have been of those who never OK
pccted anything from the United States
Supreme Court. The judiciary depart.
ment is the weakest Of the Government
It's only strength is its consistency, purity
and justice. We may fear that the poison
of political partisanry has in a serious de-
gree tainted it; that it has lost weight anC
dignity as well as sincerity and fairness
and that its high mission on earth is pretty
much frustrated by its own submission tt
the corrupting influences of these days.
For the first time its Chief Justice is an
aspirant for the presidency, and has been
openly electioneering for it, in violation o.
the spirit and objects of his Office. Al
once he is distrusted save by those
whose political views he entertains
and they will only use him so long as he
occupies that relation. He has already
declared his approval of the reconstruc.
ton acts he is called to review upon the
question Of their constitutionality. But
the decision Of that will not probably be
made in time for any available advantage
to any one if the strategy of delay can be
carried out. Why, look at the decision on
the question of the test oath, which, to the
injury Of those concerned, was kept a
secret for year after it was reached
Then what hope is there from the Supreme
Court-that muddied fountain Is it not
q mockery to be going through the forms
when there are to be none Of the realities
of pure and unbiased justice awarded
to the injured petitioners who appeal
to it?
A man on the Supreme Court bench who
is inclined to dabble his crmine in the
muddy pool of partisan politics ought to
resign his Office. Judge CHASE has nc
business where he is. The Office is incon'
sistent with his frame Of mind, and be
cannot discharge its duties faithfully. He
degrades it by rem aiming in it.
The South has no hope from this source
There is no protection from outrage in thai
quarter. Congress would soon quiet such
a hope if there was foundation for it
There is no justice-no righting of the
unparalleled outrages of the reeonstruc
ton acts short of complete revolution
in the hurting from power of the authors
of the measures under which these out
RACES have been committed.

Masonic ADDREss.-Masonic addresses
are, generally speaking, very dull and un-
profitable reading. But we have before
us one which is an exception. 1t is that OF
Comp. Rev. HENRY S. JACOBS, R. W.
Representative of the Grand Lodge OF
South Carolina, delivered in New Orleans
in December last, upon the occasion of the
installation of the officers Of Royal Arch
Chapter and Blue Lodge. MIR. JAcoBs's
address is a most finished production. 1t
is marked by elegance of diction, and gives
evidences of thorough scholarship and of
his familiar acquaintance with Masonic
lore. We commend it to the attention OF
the craft. We may add that Mr.. JACOBS
is brother Of the Rev. GEORGE JACOBS,
of this city.

The President and General Grant.

The President and General Grant.
The correspondence between the Presi-
dent of the United States and Genera
GRANT is an incident Of the revolutionary
events now subvertiug the character OF ou'
republican form Of government WIN 40
checks and balances which our fofeia'ietS
va;nIv hoped would protect each depart
mon, of the Government from the usurpa-
,;ons or encroachments Of the others, and
Mt the same time SO preserve the mutual
rights of the States and the central govern
ment as to secure perfect harmony, eff
cheney, and benefcence, for the whole.
We see here the Executive Inundated
by the disturbance Of the relations be-.
tween the Executive Chief and his subor-
dinates by making the head of depart
ment independent Of him. Thus, while in
other respects his province is invaded, the
efficiency and harmony Of the interior
management Of his own department are
most seriously interrupted.
The issues of veracity which have grown
out of the reinstatement of the pertina-
cious Secretary Of War (STANToN) belong
to that class Of disagreeable occurrences
which are natural where authority is
crippled, or where, from its inefficient ad.
ministration, the subordinates gain immu-
nifty from responsibility, and become pre-.
sumptuous. Arbitrary authority in one
man is the offspring and the cure of this.
AS to the matters in issue, the weight Of
testimony is certainly against the General
but it will be assumed by his friends that
the witnesses are in the interest of the
President. Every man will judge for him
self.
But there is one point in the Generals
conduct that does not look well. He asks
for the Presidents written instructions moi
to obey an order purportipg to come from
him through the War Department unles:
he General GRANT, knew it to be from
the President himself. This order is give1
in writing. Upon receiving it, however
General GRANT writes to the President
that inasmuch as no instructions had beer
given to Mr.. STANTON to issue no orders
in the name Of the President, he General
G. would be bound to obey orders sc
issued. There seems in this to be an after.
thought-some equivocation.
One thing plainly settled in the CORE
spondence is that General GRANT has gone
over, horse, foot, and dragons, to the Ra
dical party. He seems to have initiated
the ingenious logic of the Radicals in the
reasons he gives for having consented tc
succeed Mr.. STANTON. The everlasting
fear that the President would not execute
the reconstruction laws had taken posses
sion of the General A great fall from
Appomattox and the apple tree!
This correspondence is sad one for this
nation.

A Mothers Reward.

A gentleman was once visiting a
cottage where the mother of the fam
lily was true and earnest Christian.
During the, conversation he remark
ed how happy she must be to. see
every one of her children (and there
were eight of them) so early
brought to their Savior's feet, and
following him so closely in their
daily lives and he inquired wheth-
.er she had adopted any peculiar
method in their religious instruc-
tioa. The poor woman replied that
she had only done what every Chris
tian mother ought to do, but on her
visitor pressing her still further she
continued with much humility.
l think I may say aerer fed my
infant children without praying in
my heart that God would give me
grace to nourish them as inheritors
of the kingdom of heaven. Whilst
l was dressing them in the morning
I used to beseech my heavenly Fa-
ther to cloth them with the robe of
Christ's righteousness; when I pre-
pared their meals 1 asked God 10
feed their souls with the true bread
from heaven, and to give them to
drink of that living water, which
springeth up into life everlasting );
when I took them to the Lords
house, / prayed to him to sanctify
them and make them temples
of the Holy Ghost; when they left
my side for school followed them
with my eyes, praying that their
lives might be like the path of the
just, which shineth more and more
unto the perfect day; and in the ev
ening, when the hour of rest arrived
| used in silence to ash their Heav-
enly Father to bless them, and keep
safely in his everlasting arms,''
And truly. this mother was re-
warded for her patient waiting upon
God, richly and fully rewarded. OI
that more mothers would remember
the infinite and awful influence they
possess for veal or woe, So

abandon the negotiation, and to re-
turn to subscribers the payments re-
ceived. Hereupon notice was given
by the Spanish government that the
deposite in question was forfeited to
the Queen. ..
There are doubtless plausible ex=
euses for the action of Austria and
Italy; while that of Spain is. no bet
ter than highway robbery. But the
practical result to the creditors of a
state is much the same, whether the
government is unable to pay them,
or willfully confscates their proper
ty. This series of failures to meet
their obligation on the part of great
European nations cannot be without
serious influence on public opinion.
The character of national loans in
general for security must suffer.
The credit Of popular government
for all high qualities must be essen
TALLY raised by tie superior patience
and the more scrupulous sense of
honor it has shown under financial
embarrassments. Perhaps, in the
course Of a few more years. by a
rigorous. adherence to the honest
principles which seem now to be
popular with both parties here, the
condition of the markets of the
world in 1864 may be so far reversed
that the debt Of the United States
shall be the favorite secury of Eu-
ropean capitalists. 4a5.-
Another change, only as great
proportionately as has actually taken
place within four years, would en-
able us to borrow at a rate Of inter
est as low rs England now pays up
on her consols, and would reduce
the annual charge upon our debt to
one-half of our revenue from Gus
toms alone.-N. y Post.

Gould of this place, Capt. VIM.
Duff, on her way from Cleveland to
this port, when abreast of Vermil-
lion, was struck by lightning. The
electric fluid passed down her main
top-mast and mainmast shattering
the spar, when it entered the water
in the hold of the vessel. The most
singular part of the affair is that all

feet of the spar-but all escaped
