The Democrats of Philadelphia have placed
at the head of their delegation to the National
Convention Alderman William McMullen. This
is a very worthy selection. Mr.. McMullen has
been distinguished in public life. He was the
referee in the celebrated prize-fght between
Collyer and Barney Aaron, at Acquia Creek, and
we have recollection that he promised, on
that OCCASION to mash the head of anybody
who should put his name in the papers At
the risk Of.having our head mashed we ven-
ture to chronicle his new appointment, and for
further particulars to refer persons curious in
biography to Capt Mills of the New York Me-
trOpoitan Police.
New-York tribune., 1868-03-06

What does The World mean by saying that
"an Opposition Congress may put out the
"elected President" OF course any Congress
nav do that in due course, after impeachment,
trial, and conviction. The Democracy how
ever have much speedier method. The re
"movaln of President Lincoln was precedent
that commands the hearty admiration OF The
Worlds friend and fellow -labOrer, Mark M.
POmeroy of The La Crosse Democrat, and other
organs of the Democracy freely threaten the
same method in ease Republican is elected
next November. SHOULD another Lincoln be
"e.ected,n cry these friends of The World,
"another Booth will arise to avenge the peo-
"pie.n When the Republicans, or any repre-
sentative of the party, begin to justify assas-
sination, The World will have good reason to
be put out about it. The ballot is our weapon
the bullet is theirs

Obedience to law is strikingly illustrated in
the two model Democratic States of Kentucky
and Maryland. From the first State comes
Mr.. John Young Brown, elected in the lid
District as Representative in Congress. Mr..
Brown is found disqualified because of certain
complications with the traitors of the Confed-
eracy and the House refuses to admit him.
He goes back to Kentucky, and his constitu-
ents propose to reelect him, and to keep
doing 80 until Congress surrenders, or at
least as long as Mr. Brown lives. 1t
is, therefore, clear case Of endurance, and
one in which death appears to be the only
possible arbiter. SO in Maryland, the rejection
of Mr.. Thomas, the Senator elect, upon similar
grounds, has reused the Democratic Legislature
of that eminently loyal State. "Thomas or
nobody they shout-and SO they undertake to
send back the rejected Senator, not from any
especial liking for him, but just to let the
United States Senate know that Maryland will
stand no nonsense. SO far as the represen-
tation of the real principles of the
constituents of Brown and Thomas go, the
voters might make more direct case by send
ing Beriah Magoffin from Kentucky, and Ben
jamin G.. Harris from Maryland. These men
are already experienced martyrs; they have
suffered the extreme of Radical persecution;

ity ot k!s own. Plaoei he has mis-
taken the powers and duties of his Cabinet OIL
GERS, and some of them, we fear, have helped
to encourage his deluSion; and he has continu-
ally striven to make himself felt in public
matters with which he has constitutonally no
concern, and especially in legislation-in the
enactment rather than the execution of laws IL
is not worth while to inquire whether he has
been misguided by his heart or by his head, or to
attempt to analyze all the petty passions, the
vanity, the self-cOnceit the mortified self-suffi-
cheney which may have occasioned his stagger-
ing deviations from the path of rectitude; but
inasmuch as 1t is given to us to know some
thing of each other, inasmuch as inquiry into
character may be tolerably successful, the ques-
ton to be asked, we hope, by the Republican
party at least, before it makes a nomination,
should be, Is this man whom we propose to nOmi-
nate likely to do anything, should he be elected,
deserving of impeachment There are several
gentlemen who have been spoken of for the
Presidential place who may be prudently
trusted. and several who may with equal rea-
son be distrusted. We shall not think the late
proceedings in Congress, or those which are
about to follow, worth much, whatever their
issue, if, after all, the next President should
turn out to be incompetent or dishonest, q FOOL
or knave. The mass of those who will vote
for President are both intelligent and upright
but they will accept the candidates of their
party, as nominated by the party delegates
In the selection of these, however, they have
an immediate voice; and if the lesson of the
hour is not wholly lost upon the people, they
will have trustworthy delegates, trustworthy
Convention, trustworthy candidate, and in the
end a trustworthy President.

1t seems that we have new Commander-in-
Chief of the Army. 1t is " the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of Hampshire" This
patriotic body has ordered the President to
order Gen. Grant to order Gen. Sickles to re-
port to Gen. Hancock for duty under his rank
rs colonel, and the President has Obeyed.
Here il a new way of conducting an election
campaign. If you can't meet your opponents
arguments, and his speeches arc converting all
your voters, have him taken out of the way.
At any rate, it is compliment to the effect

dresses.

THE IRISH DIFFICULTY.

The difficulty of Ireland has called forth
two important pamphlets-One from Earl Rus-
sell. and the other from John Stuart Mill.
Whether the remedies they have to propose
will cure the long standing dsaffection of the
Irish people is mere matter of conjecture.
There are wrongs to be redressed, of course ;
but it is not for the redress of her wrongs
that Ireland is now camoring; there is a
period when redress would come too late.
Mr.. Mill strikes the keynote of the Irish dlili-
Guilty when he calls this a desperate form OF
"disaffection which does not demand to be
"better governed, which asks us for no benefit,
mo redress Of grievances, not even any repara-
" ton for injuries, but simply to take our
"selves off and rid the country OF our pres
"encen Neither he however, nor Earl Russell
despairs nor, of course, is either willing
to contemplate legislative separation OF
he two countries The measure OF reform
upon which Lord Russell lays most stress Is
fnir distribution of church revenues between
the different religious denominations, endowing
the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian churches
and cutting off seven-eighths of the revenues
of the Establishment. Mr.. Minis pamphlet is
devoted more particularly to the tenure of land,
a point on which reform is more difficult, and
also less likely TO DO effective. The real hope
for peace in Ireland is found after all in the
anxiety of British statesmen to treat the sister
island with justice and sympathy, and still
more in the determination of the English people
that the misgovernment which has so long dis
graced them shall cease at once. " l shall not
believe" says Mr.. Mill, until see it proved,
" that the English and Scotch people are capable
of the folly and wickedness of carrying fire
"and sword over Ireland in order that their
"rulers may govern Ireland contrary to the
"will of the Irish people"
New-York tribune., 1868-03-06

The Pennsylvania Democratic Convention has
resolved that Gin enacting the Tenure-of Office
claw, the executive and legislative branches Of
"the Government each had right to judge of
ats constitutionality." Very true. The Presi-
dent, judging of its constitutionality for him
self, disobeys the act The House, Judging for
itself, impeaches him for it; and the Senate,
judging of the same question for itself, con-
victs and removes him from office. Mr. John
son is at full liberty to regard the act uncon-
sttutional if it affords him any comfort.
The thief ne'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion OF the law.
There is no restraint on liberty of conscience
and opinion. But the difficulty is that for all
purposes of impeachment the Senate is the only
body whose opinion on its constitutionality is
of any consequence.

Democratic Maryland wants candidate for
Senator. We respectfully suggest that they
import Jesse d. Bright of Indiana and Ken
lucky. He has been badly treated in the latter
State. He went there on purpose to secure a
fat Office, but in the Senatorial race McCreary
distanced him the first heat. Let him emigrate
to Maryland, and present his qualifications,
which are, in his own words:
"I was opposed 10 the from beginning TO end. !
neyer intend 10 vote for paying dollar OF the principal
OF the debt will never pay dollar OF 1t In CON- but
will vote n the Democracy WILL for paying II IN paper

The administration of justice has double

warning. Heretofore, however fierce might be
the fires of party, however gross the usurpa-

The little eccentricities of The Chicago Times
have stirred up opposition, and new paper is
talked Of. The Times, not long ago, came out
for negro suffrage, and, more recently, has

going down, and the blOated bondholders now
propose to spike his heaviest gun by starting a
new journal free from the complications and
commitments that trammel The Times.
