well as South, can never be permanently

and, according to the writer's opinion, will
never in be revived. We may say iu sddi-
tion, THAI the day for crusades is over. Neither
Peter the hermit, nor Simon de Montford,
could again awaken the enthusiasm necessary
for such enterprises in our time. We might
almost as we'll look for a restoration OF the
inquisition. Some again see in all this what
they believe to be a change for the better.
They say that with this revolt against autho-
rity, comes revolt against bigotry and super
stition. Then again there are others who see
with this decline Of authority tendency to
the other extreme; that is to say, that with
the weakening Of all former beliefs, there will
eventually come period OF decided unbelief;
that with the attempt to demolish few idols,
the entire superstruoture will be so terribly
shaken, If not destroyed, that materialistic
pantheism may be set up in its stead.
To us the tendency of the political system
seems more clear than the religious; for reli-
gious lamentations have been constantly
taking place at nearly all periods of the worlds
history; and so have POLITICAL some may say,
also but the signs Of a democratic tendency we
think more visible than the other. In corro.
boration Of this We could point to the oondi-
tion of England, Prussia, and France. We
may be deceived in the signs, but we think
not to the same extent as to the indications in
the religious world. We think the latter far
more intricate in their secret workings than
is exhibited in the open expressions for
change of material condition every day mani
tested to the world in the countries which we
have particularly mentioned.
Whatever tina future may bring forth (re-
turning to the religious branch of the subjeet)
we are aware of what has been accomplished;
we know that only few years ago promi-
nent member of the British Cabinet, existing
at the time of the Crimean war, had publicly
declared that the dissenters were no Chris
tisps. We further know what disabilities
have been removed from dissenters, Catholics,
Jews, and Quakers; we know positively that
reforms in this particular have been made
in other countries, too, than England. Is the
tumult existing in the minds Of men widely to
produce good or bad fruit n Will the present
or future generations be benefited or injured
by the bubbles on the surfaceH On another
occasion we may take a historical retrospective
view of events which may have caused this
condition of things.

WE have long been accustomed to an ever
varying iteration of the allegation that the
negro could not be elevated above his old in
ferior condition; that by canon fixed from all
eternity he was and must ever be subject to
the white race; that religion and nature had
established the rule, and the slave code had
only reafirmed the physical, psychological,
moral, and mental superiority of the sons of
Japhet in a practical form for the convenience
of society. But instead of it's being impos-
sible, or even difficult to raise the negro into
equality with his master, it now appears to
be easy to make him superior. The address
from the Democratic State Committee of Penn
sylvania asserts that now the white man in
the South is inferior to the negro, and asks
the reason why. We did not know that it was
SO, but if the Democrats say so We must be-
lieve it-they ought to know Their rebel
white friends are down there, and they have
been long and intimately acquainted with
them. If Democrat knows and feels that he
is the inferior of the negro, just fresh from the
rioe-swamps and the cane brake, the moment
that negro becomes entitled to vote, we may
be sorry for him, but we cannot help it. Inner
consciousness must be the test, and the only test
in such matter.

On the Tendency of the Age.

MANY thoughtful observers in Europe and this
country think they discern faint glimmerings
OF a coming not they they would look
for revolution like the old French explosion,
but revolution in the political and religious
world-a revolution in mems minds against
authority-that the tendency Of the old Gov
ernments of Europe is to Democracy they
think is becoming more apparent every year;
coupled with this is revolt against priestly
rule. Some of the staunchest adherents OF
that rule are fain to admit this. Even M. de
Montalembert, the eloquent Catholic writer,
who does not wish to see that change, it is
evident from some of his late writings, Is pre-
pared to look for it. The bold stand taken
by the Austrian Minister against the Pope q
recent letter, the decline of priestly influence
in other countries-espeoially in France--the
rupture in the Church of England, caused by
Ritualism; If we view these risings against
secular and priestly influence, it would seem
that some great change was certainly about to
take place. Nor is it alone confined to the
two sects above named; in every sect there is
feverish effervescence existing, as was well
observed by writer on Gothic archi-
lecture which was lately republished in
this journal, the spirit which impelled
the erection of such edifces is dead,

Accident to General sherman,s Daughter


A correspondent of the Chicago Journal, at
Cheyenne, August 26, gives the following ac-
count of the accident to General Sherman's
daughter:-
Generals Sherman and Augur passed up on
Sunday evening to Fort Saunders, on a trip to
Idaho Springs, Colorado. General Sherman
brought with him two OF his children, a young
girl OF fourteen or fifteen years and SON On
Monday the little girl took horseback ride,
escorted by Lieutenant Male, of the I Ventteth
Infantry. The horse was thought unsafe, bat
a lady who was skilled IN horsemanship bad
rode him, and the party left in high spirits to
explore the beautiful scenes near the
Black Hills. Not long after both horses
came into the Fort r:derle.s. The
General, with Generals Gibbons aud Potter,
being out hunting in an ambulance, we're soon
apprised of the circumstance, and started IN
pursuit of the riders. About q mile or so out
they found the girl lying Insensioe and Lieu
tenant Male supporting her head. The horse
had run away, aud the girl jumped off, striking
on her head and hands. The Lieutenant dis
mounted to succor her as he best could. She
was convened in the ambulance to the post aud
medical aid was soon at hand. L regret to say
that at three in the afternoon she was still in
sensible when nay informant lett, and have no
tidipgs since. The party came out to seek
health and recreation, but we are sorry for the
General that it may possibly prove the reverse
OF his good intentions. His uniform urbanity OF
manners and careful interest in all our affairs
has endeared him to the army beyond measu ure

Few Public Meetings.

FROM reliable sources we are able to anu ounce
that the general programme of the approaching
campaign on the part of the Republicans Of
Philadelphia does not include the holding of
many of the immense mass meetings which
have of late years 80 decidedly aroused tbs en-
thusiasm of the faithful, but utterly failed to
make converts from the opposition. We are
glad that they will be dispensed with. There
are other and far more effective ways OF work
ing than by the holding Of monster demon
strations, with six stands and as many bands
votes are made or frauds detected.
We can see in them, however, much
good-so much that we hope that there
will not be a total omission of them all. The
truth is that the city OF Philadelphia has 10 600
majority in favor Of the Republican party, il
the vote can only be brought out. Then while
1t Is duty to seek converts, 1t is also duty to
impress those we have with the importance
of taking an active part in the campaign. The
latter result is secured by these meetings. The
people are aroused into enthusiasm when they
see squares upon squares OF human beings,
all animated by one impulse, all coinciding in
the same thought and acting for the same
end. Thus the meetings do good. II there
were to be a few such, they could not fail to en-
nance the Republican triumph. But if instead
of these, the thousands of dollars required ,,
spent in organizing, in detecting anticipated
frauds, and getting the name of every friend
and seeing that he votes on the day of election,
the result would be much larger and general
awakening than il like sum be expended in
meetings. The Democracy know this, and
taught us lesson by their wisdom last
fall. Having learned by sad experience, we
do not doubt but that the managers will act
with discretion, and much work and great good
be done.

The Debt and the Democracy.

THB Democratic party Is making desperate
efforts to excite popular discomfort in regard
to the magnitude of the public debt. 1t is a
sufficient answer to these appeals to reply that
the Democratic Rebellion created the debt,
and that the war was prolonged and the debt
greatly increased by Copperhead opposition to
a vigorous prosecution of hostilities. Every
dollar OF the national burden tends oswell the
enormity of the offense directly chargeable
upon the present supporters Of Seymour and
Blair. The radical Democracy OF the Pome-
roy school are the only true logiciaus of that
party. They advocate open and undisguised
reputation, for they justly fear that
while the people are paying the price Of ma
tional existence, they will not cease to remem-
Der with Indignation the true authors of the
prevailing financial evils. 1t is the height of
folly for those who placed this load upon the
shoulders of the people to seek to win their
votes by magnifying the extent and pressure
of the debt. They virtually say to wronged
and outraged peeple-"We have inflicted upon
you untold miseries in the past, and imposed
upon you intolerable present and future bur-
dens, and you should therefore entrust us with
the control of public affairs"
The actual cost of military and naval expe-
ditions, from 1861 to 1868, inclusive, was, for
the War Department So, 175, $50, ,SSO54, and
for the Navy Department s426, 7S3, ,699'92; a
total of 90, Col, ,934, ,5S9'76. The ordinary mill
tary and naval expenditures, previous to 1861
were $28, ,0OO,O 900 per annum, or, during a
period Of eight years, 1924, 100000. Deduct
ing this sum from the amount the nation was
compelled to expend from 1861 to 1868, the
cost of crushing the Rebellion is fixed at $3 377,
934,589'75. With few notable exceptions,
the men who presented to the nation the
dread alternative of mourning this enormous
expenditure, or of stiking the United States
from the list Of nations, are now the active
leaders of the Democratic party. Their ''yell"
secured Seymour's nomination, their advo-
cacy of Blair was the undoubted cause of his
selection as the Democratic Vice-President
candidate; they dictated the Democratic plat
form, and they would WELD over any Demo-
influence as they exercised over the Confede-
rate Government Of Richmond. In all the
annals of political canvassing there is nothing
equal to the hardihood displayed in the at
tempt to win favor and power for the tratorous
authors of the debt by Misrepresentation OF
its magnitude.
Heavy as the debt is, however, no better
proof of the ability Of the people to grapple
with it and to maintain the national credit
unimpaired need be given than statement Of
the sums already devoted to this purpose. or
the extra expenses incurred by the war nearly
$1,000, 900 have already been paid in prin-
oipal and interest and bounties, notwithstand-
ing repeated reductions of taxation, and the
