The Toronto Globe, looking on the
condition of American politics from the
stand point of a disinterested observer,
says:
THE infatuation of the Democrats in
in t.fl
as their representatives in the Soutn in
the Presidential contest, seems almost
to amount to lunacy. These men 'ac-
cept the situation simply while they
cannot do better, and not an hour long

Statistics affirm the number of human

Dividing this number by the superb

the earth Is one vast cemetery. BY the
same calculation the digging of graves
for all the dead since the creation would

The following racy anecdote comes
from French paper, and aptly illus
trates French morals. 1t will bear
translation:
"A stranger rings at the door on Mon
sieur x, an official parsonage. The
valet opens.

and will only return for dinner.''
"Indeed! would like, then, to speak

Senator Doolittle was an ardent
Union man during the war, and has
hundred times eulogized the general
ship, character and services Of General
Grant. Why, then. is he giving his
time and his Senatorial frank to the
circulation of Democratic documents,
containing the most atrocious ISLANDERS
and falsehoods about General Grant as
a soldier and public officer? The fact
Mr.. Doolittle is Chairman of the DEM
ocratic Congressional Committee fur
nishes no excuse for such conduct in a
man like him, possessed of such views
as he has put on record.-N. Y. Times
Official papers have come to light
showing thatthe Democratic Executive
Committee of Ohio have assessed a con-
tribution Of ten cents a head on each
Democratic voter in the State, to carry
on the campaign. The county commit
tees are to collect it through the agency
of the subcommittee. The coinci-
dence Of the sum named brings to mind
reminiscence of the war, which we
forbear to revive, as Mr.. Vallandigham
objects to any unnecessary reference to
the dead past."-Cinn. Com.
The French Grant and Colfax Club of
New York have issued an address to the
French-Americans of the city and State
of New York, in which they say: 1--WE

affords us, by cordially uniting with us

The following extract from the opin-
ion of the Supreme Court, as delivered
by Chief Justice Taney, in the Dorr
case, may be useful Information to those
who are looking for the intervention of
the Supreme Court to set aside the re-
constructed State governments:
'Under this article of the Constitu-
tion it rests with Congress to decide
what government is the established one
III State. For as the United States
guarantee to each State republican
government, Congress must necessarily
decide what government is established
in the State before it can determine
whether it is established or not. And
when the Senators and Representatives.
of State are admitted to the councils
of the Union, the authority of the gov
ernment under which they are appoint
ed, as we'll as its republican character,
is recognized by the proper constitu-
tlonal authority. And its decision is
binding upon every other department
OF the government, and could not be
questioned in a judicial tribunal
We must repeat our call upon Demo-
cratic speakers and newspapers for evi-
dence ofGovernor Seymour's statesmen
ship. What has he done that entities
him to that reputation? Governor
Seymour has been in public life good
many years, and if his record shows
anything beyond the craft and capacity
of a mere politician, the people want to
