gates to that body Any change in
the. organic law of q State otherwise
| affected, is illegal and really null,
especially when, as in the present
case, brute force has been the instru-
ment used for accomplishing it. II
this view be correct, the old Consti-
tutions of the Southern States will
not be extinguished. but suspended
by the new one, and the latter will
operate only as long as the power
which enacted them shall be able to
sustain them. They are the off
spring of a radical Congress-, con
ceived in sin and born in iniquity.
They have no claim whatever for sup
port upon any but their radical
parent, and when the latter dies thev
will die also, for there will then be
nothing for them to live upon.
When Congress ceases to. be radical
and become Democratic, the carpet
bag constitutions will be entirely de-
pendent upon a hostile power for
their longer existence, and if that
power redeems the pledges it has
made and fulfills its obligations to
the country, it will OF once strangle
these vicious and deformed Oalabans F.;
these 'bastards" sprung from the
embraces of prostitution more foul
and loathsome than words can ex-
press. Such 'bastards' cannot in
herit, under any circumstances. If
the true heirs die, the estate must
escheat or go to waste. But they are
not likely to die. They will be tenn
porarily ousted by the bastards from
the inheritance, but when the latter
are drawn out Of. it by the Democra-
cy, the former (the good old Consti-
tutions) will re-enter and resume pos
session, with ali their rights unim-
paired. When the reconstruction
'nnllities' are repealed. suspended
animation will return and 1e-invigo-
rate the realities. and then under the
auspices of the latter, the people of
the South can proceed to avail them
selves of the blessings of a deliver
ance, the results of which will reach
to the furthest limits os civilization
and to the remotest ages of the fu-
ture." N,. lr

\" Our New MINISTER TO ENe1AND.-
The Senate, yesterday, paid very
handsome compliment to the flistin-
guished Senator from Maryland,
whom the President nominated as
Minister to England, by confirming
the nomination Immediately, and
without sending it to committee.
Senator johnson is an indepen-
dent, loyal, conservative Dem ocrat-
very much such man in politics rs
Gen. Dix, who represents the United
States rs Minister to the French
Government. His long experience
in public affairs, his eminence as q
statesman and jurist, his great in
tellectual abilities, and his high per-
sonal accomplishments, qualify him
signally for the important position to
which he has been appointed. To
the conduct of negotiations upon the
various questions at issue between
our own Government and that of
England, he will bring large know
ledge. a clear understanding and O
moderate temper; and while quite
able to cope with the statesman of
England, he will be found equally
competent to carry on the work here
tofore SO ably conducted by Charles
Francis Adams. Mr.. Johnson's
speeches in the Senate have shown
that he fully agrees with the views of
American rights promulged by Sec
retary Seward and upheld by Mr..
Adams; and we have no doubt that
he will bring to q satisfactory conclu-
sion the negotiations which are
already SO far advanced toward settle
ment. 4'1 -..l a y1o,a =
For the prompt confirmation of
this fitting appointment of the Presi-
dent, the Senate deserves the thanks
of the country. =" t't+4 'a'i'

STATES RIGHrs. s.-The New York
World is strongly supporting States
rights. But the World says, on the
other hand, that where those rights
have been violated by Congress there
is no redress! Better not have rights!
The World is like old Martin
Smith, who, hearing the burglar
breaking into his store, ordered his
clerk to lie still, or the burglar would
shoot him! So the World, as sure
that the States have rights as that
Smith had groceries, yet tells the
States to be very quiet, or Congress
may take away their rights, put them
out of existence, and there an end on
it.-Ricltmond Dispatch.

ssLet us have peace" says General
Grant, in the same letter in which he
applauds' the "wisdom, moderation
and patriotism" of the Convention
that nominated him, and makes their
platform his own; declares that ne
gro suffrage ''must be maintained at
the South, while at the North the
States shall do as they please"
"Let us have peace" says General
Grant. and declares in favor of an
interstate. inequality, which. newt
ably organizes an enduring alienation
and strife. ''''
"Let us have peace" says General
Grant, and declares actual and eter-
nal war by declaring in favor of fore
ing on the States of the South q
measure odious and intolerable be-
yond conception, and which the peo-
pie of the North reject and spurn as
ineSpedient and inadmissible for
themselves, even under their own far
more favorable circumstances.
"Let us have peace" says General
Grant, and he sends us q flaming
sword.
'Let us have peace" says General
Grant, as he sows the dragons teeth,
which are to yield o harvest of be-
ligerents. .a
''Let us have peace" says General
Grant, as in the name OF "wisdom
and moderation and patriotism" he
inficts on many millions of people in
tolerable insult and atrocious wrong:
imposing a burden which they can i
not bear, and which the North will
not touch with it's little finger; and
enforcing an inferiority which would
lnhame resentment under the ribs OF
death.
"Let us have peace" Yes, he may,
by the course he embraces, when
every instinct of freedom has died
out, every sentiment of justice van
ished, every impulse of manliness
been eradicated from the Southern
heart and mind. Then there will be
the peace of death; but till then, there
can be no peace. Ireland and Poland
and Hungary and Italy will tell him
how many centuries of resistance an
oppressed people will wage against
their oppressors till their deliverance
comes. and to how many unborn
generations he is bequeathipg q
legacy of discord and alienation and
strife. The extraordinary folly, the
crime against right and reason and

Ideals. ''i'ftoh.u go
The diversity of ideals among men

The diversity of ideals among men
is wonderful. One worships mere
physical beauty in n woman, and all
the virtues under Heaven could not
atone for red hair or snub nose.
Others, again, if one may Judge by
their choice of wives, place small
value on mere physical beauty, and
II woman is q good housekeeper,
brings up her children as they ought
to be, has good principles and good
temper, can tolerate q squint, or any
and every other form Of ugliness.
One man wants good musician /;
another does not care bit for music,
but desires a cultivated intellect:
while another still cares for neither
quality, if the woman be of high
blood. And still there is another
and a pretty large class whom
venus herself would be unattractive
without good balance at her
bankers.
While this diversity of ideals is
true OF individuals, it is especially so
of nations. A Frenchman's ideal
woman. according to Michelet and
others, is a feverish little creature,
full of nervous energy, but without
muscular force; prey to morbid
fancles; now weeping away her life
because her husband cannot under
stand her; now sighing away her
delicious sins in the arms of the lover
who does without reasoning facilities,
but with divine intuitions without
cool judgment, but with burning
passions that guide her just as we'll.
lncomprehensible by the coarser
brain OF man; @ creature born to be-
wilder and to be misled to love, and
to be adored-to madden men, and
to be destroyed by them-a queer
metaphysical compound of Mysteries
and adultery.
The German has two ideals-one,
his Martha, broad-faced, thick-set
and domestic, who cooks good din
ners, at small cost, and mends tho
family linen, and her husbands
pants, as religiously as if this were
the eleventh commandment, specially
appointed for her feminine fingers to
keep.
The other-his Mary, his Bettina-
full of mind and aesthetics and heart
uplifting love, yearning after the
infinite with holes in her stockings,
and her shoes down at heel.
In Spain, it is woman, beautiful
and impassioned, with the slight
drawback of needing a world of look
ing after, lest they 60 astray.
In America, we have two kinds,
like the German-the one the clever
manager, woman with good execu-
tive faculty in the matter Of buck
wheat cakes and gumbo. with great
capacities in the way of stews and
pies and things. The other, confined
to more Northern cline, thauks-be
to the gods-is the aspiring soul who
puts her aspirations into deeds, and
goes out into the world to do battle
with the sins of the world and soci.
ETY., as editress.. preacher. stump
orator, missionary and the like, with
come leaning to miscegenation and
free love.
Above all these, there is the ideal
which each of us has in his own
heart, realized in our wives or sweet
hearts-a creature infinitely good
and pure-a noble, generous being.
whose influence sanctifies q life,
ennobling, purifying, elevating
lifting the soul far above the sordid,
selfish thoughts of this world, and
making it more akin to the divine
ideal given to us for our imitation.
