The National Republican Convention,
which is soon to assemble in the city Of
Chicago, will distinctly define the issues
before the American people. The main is
sues will be few, but Of vital Importance;
some of them are inevitable and can by no
possibility be evaded s.
The reconstruction policy adopted by
Congress for the reorganization Of the
states lately in rebellion, upon basis OF
equality for the whole people, is now the
endorsed policy Of the Republican party.
Any re.rograde movement in this direction
cannot be otherwise than disastrous to both
ths loyal whiss aAd celsrsd population Of
the south. Before the general election 10.
November next, nearly all the unconstruct
ed States, wiz have bssn recognized and
restored to their proper relation in the
Union. This will have been done despite
the opposition of the Democratic party. To
wrest the States of the South from loyal
hands, and restore them back to rebel con
troll, will be work the northern Democra-
cy will hardly dare to undertake, after these
States have secured governments, based up.
ON Republican ideas Of equality. The De-
inocracy may as well now, cease their hos
tility to the Congressional plan of recon
struction, unless they propose to keep alive
the spirit of secession, with the intent of
inaugurating another rebellion.
The Civil Rights Law, which encountered
such fierce opposition, has been found to
work none Of the mischiefs predicted Of it.
The short experience under it has proven
it to be g bill Of Rights, essential to all good
government. None but those who desire
the re-estsblishmant of slavery, and the
subversion Of the rights of part of the
human race can be dissatisfied with it
The Frssdman's Bureau, which has been
subjected to all sorts of misrepresentation
has demonstrated its usefulness in protect

multitudes of cases, have been driven from
their homes, and made to suffer the ills
which the demon spirit of slavery. knows
how to infict. As soon as the people of

There appears to be no tangible issue for
the Democracy. unless it be the repudiation
OF the National debt on the Pendleton plat

How very Reliable.

Some of our De,aecratic exchanges last
week, headed their columns with large capt.
tails, Chicago Redeemed !" Democrats
1riumphant;" Republican Rule ended;'
&c. 1t is very likely there are plenty of
simple minded people, who really believe
such nonsense, because they see it in the
Democratic papers.
The facts which ne Intelligent reader Of
any political party will dispute are these :
The Common Council is Republican. by a
majority Of eight the Common Council is
presided over by Republican Mayer This
is what the copperhsad sheets call Demo-
cratic rule in the city Of Chicago The
Democrats elected the Judge and Clerk Of
the Recorders Court; these offices were filled
by Democrats before- Then what has been
gained here This looks very much like
the great Democratic Triumph in the Ju,
dicial election in Wisconsin, proclaimed by
these same journals. W s@a

She hid not wept woman's bitter tears,
Nor known her toll and strife.

In all fair gifts and graces from above,

The War in AbYssinia.

The war of the British in Abyssinia,
about which there has been so much said,
during the past few months, appears to
have resulted in a great triumph of the
British arms in that country. Gen Napier,
commander of the British forces attacked
the Abysinnian army commanded by king
Theodore in person. The latter was de-
feated and driven into the city with heavy
loss; ON the following day Gen. Napier car
ried the city by storm king Theodore and
a large number of his warriors were slain
The success of the British ip Abyssinia,
has been only question of time. The dis
oipIine and improvements in modern war
fare, are altogether on the side of the civi
LIKED powers so that an hundred English
or French soldiers, are more than match
for five tiEes that number, unacquainted
with the science Gf it may be so called Of
destroying life. The account states /:
General Napier takes by his victory the
twenty eight large guns just used against
him, 5000 stand of small arms, 10, 900
shields, such as are used in battle in open
field by the Abyssiuians, 10000 spears, and
many other articles of war equipment
The Kings body was recognized among
the killed and wounded by the British cap
: tiyos when released Theodorus' two sons
were taken prisoners. The interior of the
Fortress of MagdaIa presented q splendid
sight, the place glowing with barbaric
spIendor. The British troops pluudered il
at once. They found four royal crowns,
made of solid gold, $40, 600 in silver, 10000
silver plates, several lots of rich jewels, and
other articles of great value.
