The Great Problem.

The editor of the New York Freeman 5
Journal, who is one of the boldest ant
most philosophical thinkers in this conn.
try; briefly disposes of question which
now asitates the minds of men. Speak
ing of Gen. Grant and what he may do, Mr.
McMasters says:
''We can hardly conceive of the occur.
renee of events in which Generala Grant will
take the initiative in doing the country, or
its liberties, any injury. The graver Gues-
ton presents itself to us: 'Wil General
Grant do anything to protect this demon.
allied people from still farther destroying
their own liberties?'''
That is, indeed, the rub. From present
appearances if General Grant seriously de-
sired the ruin of popular freedom, he
would have very little trouble in getting
The people to do for themselves what many
predict he designs to accomplish in person.
We think, then, that the task Of destroy
ing Constitutional Liberty is comparaiive-
y easy; the task Of saving what little there
s left may strains the energies of forty
Grants.

The STORY OF BANK NoTE.-The
science of chemistry has been put tn d

OF provincial town there appeared peas
ant with an old pass of pulp, requesting
the cashier to change that for him. On
close examination, one little scrap was
found, containing the uumber of ten-tha-
Ter bank note the rest was pulp, and moth
ing could be made Of it. The poor peas
ant then explained mataers. He had
bought eighty thalefs in bank notes from
the market. and had lost the little bundle
in the stable. There an eager goat found
it, and proceeded calmly to eat it up. The
peasant, having become aware Of his loss,
rushed back into the stable. and just en-
tered it in time to perceive the last NOR
sci of ten-thaler note disappearing. His
wife. wise woman, advised him to kill the
goat az once. This he had done, and here
was the result. All the printing having
been almost entirely obliterated, the ones

Of course she can. The regulation OF the
qualification OF voters, is one of the few
rights that even the Radicals IF Missouri
and the Republicans everywhere, admit is
one OF the rights guaranteed to the several
States by the Constitution Of the United
States. This right is recognized in tho
sO-called Fourteenth Amendments pro-
posed by the present Congress to the Con-
stitntioD, notwithstanding it is sought BY
this amendment to deprive ten of the State
OF tho Union OF their just representation in
Congress by virtue Of this amendment.
Even now Congress has before il some half
dozen propositions to amend the Consti.<
tuition so as to take away from the States
the right to make any discrimination in
regard to the qualification of voters. con
