THE New York Day Book presents
itself In a new suit Of typ. IL Is
gratifying TO know that its manly,
honest, and fearless advocacy of gen.
uinc democracy has not impaired its
prosperity. The Bay Book has la
bored earnestly and ably to keep the
fundamental principles of democracy
free from the authorizations attempted
by the time-serving and selfish who
trim here, and conccde thcre--pro-
Tossing to believe that popular liberty
will stand more firmly upon the mu-
tilated remains than upon the solid
body Of political truisms which must
undcrlie every form of free govern
ment. With such efforts 10 remove
Intervening errors, tire attraction Of
affinity will again consolidate those
truisms into the cornerstone of insti-
tutlons as free and more firm than the
original structure overthrown by IA
naticism, folly and villainy COM
bined.

" ~
"Oatrage" WAS Manufactured.
1t has been reported by mendacious
Radicals that Samuel Porter, James
Grove, Samuel Proctor and Frank
Ferguson, who were recently brought
from Charlotte and placed in Jail
here for safe keeping, the one at that
place having been considered inse-
cure, were Kuklux and that under
the guise Of such, they had murdered
two colored men at the iron works,
In Dickson County, just previous to
the election, because the latter were
Radicals. We are reliably informed
that these statements are gross mis-
representations. They were not Ku.
klux and went under no disguise
whatever. The killing was done in
daylight.
The difficulty originated from O
private and personal quarrel with
which politics had nothing to do. II
occurred on the Goth Of October.
Samuel Porter Is charged with hav-
ing killed Jack Snowden, colored,
and Richard Proctor with having
killed Solomon Cunningham, colored,
In the presence of Frank Ferguson
and Sames Grove, who are alleged to
be their cOnfederates in the bloody
deed.
Soon after their incarceration in
the Jail Mt Charlotte. they attempted
to escape by saving In two the hinges
ofone Of the doors. They were caught
in the act when they had nearly COM
pletcd the operations, and heavily
ironed. 1t was for this reason and

THE speculations so freely INDUCED
in by both parties show that both are
i'm a state. Of mystified ignorance as
to what Grant will do in his Execu-
tive capacity. We claim to be as ig-
norant as any one on this subject,
but having been led by his record, in
the past, to expect nothing good in
the future, we have resolved to await
a development of his views, with
quiet patience and to take what
comes with all the stoicism we can
command. If he does anything we
can approve, we shall accept, it as a
lucky windfall and make the most
of the accident, but shall not be dis
appointed II no such accident hap

WHILE shouts of JOY and victory
were heard in the North, at the close
of the war, the deluded and rejoicing
fools little thought that the North,
though not pillaged and devasted
was rs eflectually conquered as the
South. Black slaves were emancipa-
ted here, only to make white slaves
there, and we hope the self-enslavcd
masses will reap all the bitterness Of
hcartless bondage until retributive
justice shall be fully satisfied.

A breathing spell.

The ruling thought has been solong
of politics, andeverything perceptible
to the eye as well as to the ear, hav-
ing worn the livery and devices OF
the respective contending legions, one
may well wonder il, now that the
battle is over, and the main results
are known, people can soon reconcile
themselves to the contemplation of
non-polltical subjects and objects
Moralizing after this fashion, the
New York Express cheerfully re-
marks:
The campaign just closing has been
in progress longer than any other
ever known in our history. 1t has
progressed at least three years. The
atmosphere has been fairly saturated
with politics. Can there suddenly
come reaction and clear it? viii
people agree to quietly accept the sit
uation and give at once more Of their
attention to matters of different inn
porto social amusements, to litera-
ture, arts, fashions and potter scien-
ces. We think they will. The peo-
pie Of this country are exceedingly pill
able in adapting themselves to cir
cumstances. Hereafter, then, we
shall be ut liberty to mix more of the
general, the mirthful, the miscellane-
Gus, with the matters of everyday
contemplation, and although politics
and political affairs Of import must
necessarily occupy some portion OF
the time and attention of good citi-
zens, they will not monopolize all
thereof, but leave vacancy for the
intrusion of subjects and this less
grave and more generally relished.

IMPORTANT WHISKY DECISION

IMPORTANT WHISKY DECISION
The Attorney-General Friday, gave
an official opinion reversing the con-
struction placed on the internal reve-
nue. law, by Commissioner Rollins,
with reference to the distillation OF
whisky. Mr.. Evarts decides that
stills can run, as heretofore, the law
imposing no separate tax on sing
lings, doublings or backings. He
says the tax attaches only when the
distilled spirits go TO the receiving
room In proper condition for sale az
whisky. This decision highly graft
fies large numbers of Western man
features who say the result will be to
start again hundreds of distilleries
which have been suspended for
months past.-DanriNe (Ry.,) i'd

FoRNEY, in a late speech, declared
that the election is the funeral of
slavery and secession. Black slavery
was buried three years ago-white
slavery, perhaps, begins with the
election, and secession may be forced
into existence where it was not
known before. The Radicals seem to
think that none but blacks can be
slaves, and will probably designate
DISTINGUISHED whites rs serfs, follow
ing the example of Russia, which is

IT seems that an American Miss
ionGry to the Hindoos is translating
the Bible into their language. 1t
smacks n little of the ludicrous to see
an American preacher engaged in
that sort Of work, when numbers of
his cloth, at home, are consummate
scoundrels and doing all they can to
discredit the Bible and libel Christ
ianity. And since some of them have
pronounced professionalism failure,
they had better leave the field to the
Catholics. BY the time the Hindoos
are made christians the North will
have become entirely heathenish,
with no other worship than that of
Mammon, and no other moral code
than the crimes and vices forbidden
by the Decalogue.

THE consolidation OF the Louisville
Courier and Journal has, doubtless,
taken the whole country by surprise.
The fact that both papers seemed to
stand so firmly upon their support
and to constitute, in themselves in
dependent entities, was not calcula-
ted to prepare the public for such a
fusion. 1t it be true, as stated joint
ly, that Louisville can not support
two first class Democratic papers, the
consolidation is wise step; and the
patrons of both, when distinct, should
unite cordially in support of the two,

IlfE LONDON Telegraph says the
Democrats deserved their defeat in
the late election because they would
not accept "the results of the war;
If the Telegraph is sufficiently vcrsed
in American politics to comment
intelligently thereon, it must have
known that the results of the war, as
defined by the victorious party, are
the abolition of slavery, the abnega-
ton of the right Of secession and re-
pudiation Of the Confederate debit
Tiese results were promptly accepted
by the whole people rs the sole con-
dititions Of n perfect restoration of
the Union and the rights conferred
by the Constitution.
These were avowedly the results of
the war upon which the fullest paci-
ficntion and restoration were made
dependent, and these the Democrats
accepted, rs the Telegraph ought to
have known. And If they deserved
dc'cat, IL was for insisting upon the
finality of these results and resisting
others which We're subsequently
claimed by the Radicals. And these
ere the complete humiliation of
states rights, the absolute subsection
of the South to negro rule, socially
and politically, the destruction of the
Constitution and the practical over
throw of the government as a repub-
lie, and the substitution of q despotic
oligarchy of bondholders, railroads
and telegraphs. That these too are
result 8 Of the war, no one will deny
But they were brought about in time
of peace, by usurping Congress, in
imical to free government and in ia
vor of tyranny which they, alone,
are to engineer i'm the interest of a
wealthy few and tire degrading isms
Of corrupt New England.
If the Democrats deserve defeat for
resisting these usurpations and ruin
Gus innovations, then, in the cstima-
ton of the Telegraph, public virtue
and popular liberty are dangerous
hcresies that ought to be suppressed
by the power Of the sword. This
London savan Ia doubtless I'm full
sympathy with Radicalism, and
gives, In advance, his endorsement Of
the results that are TO follow tho war
Of liberalism i'm England-the over
throw of its present government, and

DICKENS ON WINE COUNTRIES
The following. from Dickens, is to the
point, and he has good opportunity
of knowing whereof he speaks:
"The wine shops are the colleges
and chapeIs Of the poor in France
History, morals, politics, jurispru
dence. literature. in iniquitous forms,
are all taught in these colleges and
chapels, where professors Of evil con
tinually deliver those lessons, and
where hymns are sung nightly to the
demons of demoralizations. In these
haunts of the poor, theft is taught as
the morality of property, falsehood
as speech, and assassination as the
| Justice Of the people. 1t is in the
wine shop the cabman is taught tc
think it heroic to shoot the middle
class man who disputes his fare. L
is in the wine shop the workman Ii
taught to admire the man who stab.
his faithless mistress. 1t is in thC
wine shop the doom is pronounced of
the employer who lowers the pay of
the employed. The wine shop breeds
in physical atmosphere of malarit
and a moral pestilence Of envy an(
vengeance, the men Of crime and rev
olution. Hunger is proverbially ;
bad counsellor, but drink is worse"
