The Alabama Election.

A Huntsville (Ala.) correspondent oi
the Commercial relates the following
conversation illustrating the "Conser-
vative" tactics, for defeating the new
Constitution of that. State:
In order that there may be, no mis-
understanding I viii relate conversa-
ton which occurred between an old
rebel and myself, on the first day OF
the election.
"Have you voted ?'' I ask.
'NO, sir-not l."
"DO you intend to vote ?''
Not Not by a d-d way, I reckon"
Because I want the Constitution de-
feated." =. r.
tAnd how do you propose to defeat
It by inaction ?" ] asked although I
was fully aware of the Conservative
programme, and the reason for it.
"Why, you see," said he, "there are
III, 900 voters registered in the State,
and $4,000 must vote on the question of
the adoption of the constitution or it is
defeated, and if but a little over AZ, 900
vote for it, and a little less than $4,000
vote against it, then it is adopted but
if So s999 vote for it and no one votes
against it, is defeated because more
that half the registered votes are not
recorded at the polls"
Then you think inaction is your poll
cy?n
eyes, sir; our only one. We will
all stay away from the election, and by
management weean keep $4,000 negroes
away and our work is done.'
''Fhen you consider Congress a little
obliging, after all, for making that pro-
visO IN the Reconstruction Laws which
requires majority of all the registered
voters to go to the polls ?"
Yes sir; obliging out of pure id
stupidity"
HOPE FROM NORTHERN DEMOCRATS. E.

secret Of rebel obstinsey in Alabama as

believing that anarchy is the worst Of

We shall be curious to see what iusti-
ficatiOn the President has for the par
don of one hundred counterfeiters,
twenty-five fOrgers and a parcel of 9TH
er Williams, who added perjury to their
manifold iniquihes. The tender con-
sideratiOn which His ExelleUcy has al
ways exhibited for the scoundrels who
have imposed counterfeit notes on the
people, amounts to a mystery. The en-
cOuragement given by the reported and
unaCcOutable exhibition Of Executive
clemency has resulted in an increased
flood of counterfeit money the country
over. But perhaps Mr.. johnson, as a
hard currency Democrat, does not look
upon the cOunterfeiting of greenbacks
as a crime, and thinks it a useful instru-
mentality in bringing the currency in
to disrepute.- COnInlerciak.

comment. Even in the great satisfac-
tion We felt at Judge ThUrman's s cleo
tiOn, we printed not a word that could
wound the susCeptibilities of his de-
feated rival. The Democracy of Ohio
had wisely consigned Mr.. Yallandig-
ham to merited obsCurity; but while we
inWardly applauded their judgment we
did not deem Is wise to express any
public congratulations. And indeed
it needed no comment of ours to con-
vince the country that Mr.. Vallandlg-
ham owed his defeat to just estimate
Of his personal character. He was
more conspicuous than ais successful
competitor; he had been more active
In prosecuting his canvass; he had the
advantage of being martyr who had
suffered unredressed and uncOmpen-
sated wrongs; and had the esteem OF
the party borne any proportion TO
their opportunities of knowing him, 20
rival could have succeeded. That the
| Democracy of Ohio selected Judge
| Thurman for Senator, and the Demo
Craoy of the whole West prefer Mr..
| Pendleton for President; IS evidence
! that our sighting opinion Of Mr.. Val
! landigham is shared by those who
have had the best opportunity for es-
4 timating his character and Gallbre.
/ But we did not intermeddle, even so
( far as tn express our appreciation OF
/ their declared judgment. Being care
| ful never to mention Mr.. Vallandlg-
| ham with praise, and never when We
| could avoid it to mention him at all
we were willing that he should sin
silently into the insignih3ance IN
4 which restless mediOcrlfy finds its
proper level.
The election Of General Beatty in
the Eighth Congressional District was
| regarded by the whole country as
something more than a mere topic OF
| Ohio politics. 1t was the first oppor-
/ tuuity for judging whether the signal
reaction exhibited In the autumnal
elections was still in progress. w hen
/ the telegraph brought news OF great
! Republican gains and the triumphant
election Of the Republican candidate.
| the Tribune ohanted loud pseans, and
we swallowed our modification in ST.
/ lence. After the lapse of a week OF
1 two, we found Vallandigham gloatlng
over the Democratic defeat with the
revengeful glee Of a man who had sue.
/ cessfully paid off a grudge. We found

Pendleton as the favoTite candidate OF
the Western Democracy for the ap-
preaching nomination. We cOnclud-
| ed then, that we had borne with this
vindictive markplot long enough. We
saw no more reason for treating him
with tenderness lest we should divide
the Democrat tic party, than the patriots
/ of the Revolution would have seen f'oI
! treating Benedict Arnold with lenlty
/ for fear of sowing Gissensions IN the
! American camp. If his revenge had
not melted him to treachery, he would
! have found protection from criticism
in our coutempt.-N. z. World.

THE New York Tribune gives this
striking illustration of the financial
wis dom of a government that attempts
to realize revenue by taxing its own
! debts:
"Asto taxing the Governments debts,
the only parties who have tried this
| policy and tested it were the rebels, un-
/ der Secretaries Memminger and Tren-
holm. When the Confederacy had is
sued S973, ,281 1858 in treasury notes, cir
culating as currency, their depreciation
was such that forty dollars in notes
were required to buy one dollar in gold
All notes over one hundred dollars were
taxed ten per cent. a month after May
., 1864, and all notes outstanding at the
end Of the year were taxed one hundred
per cent, Z. e., were repudiated. By
this means $640, 81, ,945 were forced into
a worthless four per cent. bond, which
was offered as a substitute for the re-
pudiated currency. But, of course,
every body saw that the GOYernm ent
which could tax the currency out of
existence could in the next breath tax
the bond out of existence and so sthis
rebel Government, which undertook to
live by taxing its own debts, died be-
cause nobody would lend to such a pack
of swindlers."

With a view tosnubbing Grant, John
son has, without consultation with
General Sherman, nominated that dis
tinguished soldier to the rank of Brevet
General Of the armies Of the Dnited
States. This is rank entirely nm
known 20 our service and can be Great
ed only by Congress. That of Brevet
Lieutenant General was created ex-
pressIy as a compliment to General
Scott and that of General for General
Grant. The nation would no doubt
cheerfully endorse any honor that
might be done to General Sherman,
provided the honor done was simply
and manifestly intended as a cOmpli-
ment. But when the circumstances
show, as in this instance, that the man
ifest purpose is not to honor Sherman
but to insult Grant the people will not
be party to it nor viii Sherman
The latter has promptly teIegraphed TO
prominent Congressman that he per-
emptorily declines the proposed
promotion, and also that he would
rather resign his commission than take
command of a Department with head
quarters at washington. Sherman is
understood to be a fast friend ofGrant's
and he viii not lend himself to the dis
honorable purpose of either dishoaor-
ing or snubbing his illustHous com
rade.

Mr.. Johnson's genius does not seem

would have done, had he not protested.
General Buell. has several times public
ly pronounced this a false-hood, in
words impugning Mr.. JOhnsOu's verac-
ity, and he made no sign. He tried 10
play off Grant against Congress, by
putting him in the War Department; /;
but this failed and brought great NOR
tifeation. Then he made a tremendous
military demonstration on Congress,
by ordering a great Eastern Military
District for General Sherman, with his
headquarters fixed at Washington, and
the brevet rank of Gen, But this has
not scared anybody, nor will Congress
recognize his Military District, nor
Sherman accept his brevet. 1t has fall
len fiat, and furthermore, the feeble ma
ture of it indicates a consciousness that
he has played out his resources.-Ci1.

The ''WOrId" and the Ohio Democ
racY,

I
racy,
Two or three of the Democratic pa.
| pers of Ohio have sigHified their re.
gret that the World recently assisted
Mr.. Vallandigham to "see himself as
others see him. We did not expect
he would feel the agreeable sensations
of blooming maiden before a mirror,
aud are accordingly not disappointed
that the faithful image does not quite
please him Whether the amiable su
savity of his response heightens or sof-
tens the expression Of his moral lin
eaments, is too nice a question for
eur slender powers of discrimination,
AS there Is, in some faces, a beaming
lOveliness which the smiles of self
complacency cannot much improve, so
there is in some characters q repul-
siveness which their fits of rage can not
easily distoTt into greater deformity.
We do not think any worse of Mr,
VallandighRm than We did before his
reply. We have long looked upon him
as an uneasy compound Of reckless
egotism and ill-temper; and we suppose
the public would have accepted our
Judgment without the fresh evidence
he furnishes in confirmation of it.
After the election of Democratic
Legislature in Ohio, last fall, we felt,
in common with oil Democrats, lively
interest in the Senatorial election. We
knew and regretted that Mr.. Vallan-
digham would be a candidate; we knew
that be would push his claims with all
the selfish activity of a small politician;
we believed that his eleoti0nWould have
a baleful influence on the fortunes of
the party; but We respected the right
of the Ohio Democracy TO select their
own representatives, and fOrbOre all

Andrew and his cob web companions
