There is an old saying that more flies can
be caught with molasses than with vinegar,
and it's truth seems to be verified in the prac-
teal experience Of two radical politicians who
publish weekly papers in this city. One ia
Twaddling Tilton, smooth-tongued, poetical,
woman worshipping, wishy-washy sort Of a
person, who wears flowing locks and affects
uiiraism in philanthropy, negro worship and
womerf's rights. The other is Wendell Phil
lips, who is hard and wiry, assumes the
character OF cynic aud is severe and sarcas-
tic with his pen. The one is the molasses, the
other the vinegar of radical journalism. To
show how much more profitable are good
humor and harmless machine poetry than
savage criticisms and personal assaults, II Is
now announced that the strong minded females
who believe in Wendell Phillips have been
compelled to call meeting to collect chickens,
woollen socks, butter, tea, red flannel, sugar,
paper collars, coal and pocket handkerchief
for the support of their proteges organ, while
Twaddling Tilton boasts that he is doing o
more fourishng business than any other weekly
paper on the Continent, and surpasses in
certain degree the success Of the New York

Capitulatieu Of Reverdy Johnson to Enas
land.

land.
So far as at present appears the mission Of
Reverdy Johnson to England has resulted in
capitulation which, we feel confident, the peo-
pie of the United States can never endorse.
1t seems that, according to the terms to which
Mr.. Johnson has agreed, there is to be no ex-
preston Of opinion as to the crucial question
of the whole controversy-whether the British
government was right or wrong in its recogni-
ton Of the claims Of the Southern confederacy
a. belligerent power. Mr.. Johnson has
wcas.'v consented to reduce all to a simple,
,n;sersb,,e question OF dollars and cents.
At the ssn,.e time the London journals are
full of complaints from British shipowners,
who profess to be utterly dissatisfied with the
Alabama treaty. This, however, is but part
of bluff game, ard IL will not succeed in
binding the American public to it's true inte-
rests in the case. England must, sooner or
later make up its mind as to whether II was
right or wrong In its recognition Of the bellige-
rent claims of the (so-called) Southern con-
federacy during our late civil war. II II insist
upon having been in the right IL must be pre-
pared TO learn, on the very next occasion we
have to teach them the lesson, that we have
the right to recognize the belligerent claims
OF Fenian invaders, either Of Canada or
Of Ireland, and that we are ready and not indis-
posed TO exercise It,

Our late news from Spain is not reassuring
as to the final success of the revolution. 1t is
daily becoming more manifest hat popular
sentiment and the plans of the provisional
government are at variance. The fact that she
subscriptions by the people to the national
loan now amount to three hundred and nine
teen million reals is proof positive that the
patriotic fervor of the people is at once genu-
inc and undated. Meanwhile it seems to be
the fixed determination Of Prim, Serrano and
the others to ignore popular sentiment, and to
consult only their own wishes in the establish
ment Of a new form Of government. 1t is
significant fact that the young men Of the
country who are under twenty-five years of
age are to be denied the right of voting at the
approaching elections. The object of this re-
striction 10 obvious at glance. The rising
hopes Of Spain are in favor Of republic.
Tho granting Of the franchise to those only
who are over twenty-five years Of age is
clearly intended to cut of vote which, while
it would represent at once numbers and pro-
gressive energy, would be surely republican.
To adopt such course implies on the part of
the provisional government something like the
daring of despair; but 1t will not DO wonderful
if this daring and most Ubiquitous policy prove
the ruin Of Its authors. In no other country
in the world, so far as is known to us, are
electors otherwise qualified denied the right Of
voting after the age Of twenty one. It does
not surprise US to learn that the young men
are indignant, that the friends Of popular lib
erty are on their side, and that at monster
country the conduct of the provisional gov
eminent in this matter is being bitterly de-
n0unced.
The success Of the revolution in its first
stage inspired the nations with hope, and
seemed to disprove the theory Of Buckle that
Spanish intellect was so impaired by ages Of
misrule that self-government in Spain was i'm
possible for many generations The present
aspect Of things again encourages the belief
that the conclusions of the great philosophical
historian were too well founded. We cannot
say we are yet prepared to abandon all hope
in the final success of the revolution. II may
yet be found that the historian was wrong,
that Spain Is not so desperate as he described
her; but it cannot be denied that at the pre-
sent moment facts are in his favor. The
situation certainly is not hopeful.
1t is now more than ever difficult to resist
the conviction that the provisional government
are bound over to Napoleon and that they are
acting in obedience to his instructions. Should
collision take place between republicans and
monarchists-and such collision is now Sc
riously apprehended-the interference of Ma
poleon by force of arms will presumably fol-
| low. It would not be a hard task for the En-
peror to make himself master of Spain; but
a French occupation Of that country might
wake up the slumbering energies of the French
people and involve the Emperor and his dy-
nasty in irretrievable ruin.

General Grant ON the One Term Principle
and the Suffrage Question.

General Grant ON fhe One Term Principle
and the Suffrage Question.
While the politicians are sors!v pcrplexed az
to what will be the domestic policy Of General
Grants administration in reference to the
radicals, copperheads, niggers and rebels,
there are two important questions upon which
we feel authorized to say he has defined his
position. These are the one term principle
for the President of the United States and uni
versal suffrage. We learn from the best attain
able authority that General Grant Is emphati-
cally in favor OF 80 amending the national con-
stitution as to limit therein the President To
one term, and to make universal suffrage. or
suffrage to male citizens Of all races and color
above the age Of twenty-one years, the su-
preme law of the land
We think 1t will not be difficult to conjecture
the reasons which have Influenced Genera,
Grant in favor of the one term principle. I'm
der ''the constitution as il is the President
may serve two or three, or even half dozen
terms. Two terms, however, appear to be the
limit fixed by usage from the example set by
Washington in positively declining TO hold the
Office any longer. But, TO 60 no further back,
we know that since the first election of jackson
this usage has been fruitful Of mischief rapidly
and continuously tending to the demoraliza-
ton of the party in power aud the party out of
power. For instance, during the first term Of
jackson his policy was directed to second
term, and in this view he established that
vicious system OF partisan rewards and punish
ments In tho matter Of the public Offices and
patronage subsequently embodied in Marcy's
pernicious maxim, ITO the victors belong the
spoils." Hence the cutting commentary of
Calhoun, that ''the democratic party of
the day is held together only by the
cohesive power of the public plunder.' Martin

successful that sympathy with theft, and even
with murder, has become common. The fraudu-
lent official who steals by the million, the forger
who steals his few thousands, the bank robber
who makes haul more or less in bulk of bonds
and bills-all these have come to be looked
upon with more sympathy than condemnation.
We are indebted for this condition of things in
a great measure to the demon of irreligion
which haunts all classes of life, and for this
the preachers are responsible, because most Of
them are engaged in vindictive sectarian con-
troversies and political chickering's instead of
preaching the lessons Of their Divine Master.

which society has come, and yet we hardly see
the chance of repairing it until public honesty
be recognized as virtue and the seeds of
moral training shall fall upon more fruitful
fields.

The Erie Observation-Disclosures of tho Plot.
The great litigation in Erie stock between
the Gould Fisk-Lane managing men" and the
Belmont faction is becoming more involved
and complicated every day, while the struggle
is assuming vaster proportions, extending over
the State, and is waged with greater vigor at
each new assault. The fact is that all these
men are playing for immense stakes, and any
new trick in shutting or dealing is eagerly
Piled by both parties. Application to the
courts, after oil the Wall street lodges are ex-
hausted and the losing player staggers back
baffled, is with these, as with all other gam
blers, the only method of recovering the lost
wagers. But one result can at present be
looked upon as certain, and that is that these
men are playing with money that should be In
the pockets of the honest stockholders, and
when the game is over the stockholders will
be ssout" the amounts Of what their dividends
should have been and the heaviest counsel
fees ever paid in any litigation. When these
civil processes are exhausted it would be
grand idea to try ga hand" or two on the
bench of criminal court
The new developments of yesterday were
that James Fisk, Jr., and others Of the direc-
tors were reported by the police to have left
the city clandestinely at midnight Of Sunday,
taking moneys of the company which rumor
estimates at about eight million dollars; that
new suit in the name of the Attorney Gen.
eral has been commenced in Albany county,
praying for the removal of the Board of Direc-
tors, and an order granted by Judge Peckham
suspending them until the hearing Of the appli-
cation. It il presumed that this suit was the
cause of. Fisk's hasty departure, as one clause
of the injunction granted restrained the re-
moval Of any Of the funds beyond the jurisdic-
ton Of the court, and that order was served
upon him while on the steamboat pier. In the
United States Court the argument on the mo-
ton to set aside Judge Blatchford's order
appointing Jay Gould receiver was heard
before Judge Nelson, occupying the entire day,
ard will be resumed this morning.

FEMALES, OWING TO THE
peculiar and important relations which
they sustain, their peculiar organization
and the Offices they perform, are subject
to many sufferings. Freedom from these
contribute in no small degree to their
happiness and welfare, for none can be
happy who are i'll. Not only so, but no
one of these various female complaints
can long be suffered to run on without
involving the general health of the in
dividual, and ere long producing perma-

is pleasant to consult a physician for the
relief of these various delicate affections,
and only upon the most urgent necessity
will true woman so far sacrifice her

will then thank us for placing in their

What Beecher Says of SeymOur's
Private Life.
Last week HENRY WARD BEECHER made
a speech in favor of GRANT at the Brookly n
Academy of Music. In the course of that
speech Mr.. BEECHER felt forced to admit
the faultless character of the private life OF
HoRATIo SEYMOUR. He said:
"Who is his [Grant'sl antagonist? In
private life gentleman, not simply most
respectable, but most amiable, most estima-
BILE; man of polished and winning man.
ners a man against whose private charac
ter no person that ever heard OF brought
a shadow of reproach; a man whose faults
lie wholly in his public administration"
And a man whose life is thus faultless, is
to be voted against by three-fourths of all
the pulpit moralists in the North, many OF
whom make pulpit speeches in favor OF his
opponent, denounced by lis own friends as
drunkard, and who knows ten times as
much and cares vast deal more for fast
horses than for Government matters.

reasons why General GRANT should not
be run by the Republican party. Since
his nomination for the second office, on the
ticket with General GRANT, Mr.. CoLFAx has
denied all participation in the publication
of the sixteen reasons, which we publish
below, but Mr.. CoLFAx has made other deni-
ais which were far from the truth. We

- PARTY SHOULD NOT RUN GEN. GRANT
FOR PRESIDENT IN 1858:

the American people.
2.-He could not deliver an Inaugural Adj
dress.
3.-Because no Democrat has succeeded for
the past quarter of century as Pres
ident of the United States.
4.-Because at this peculiar period in the

mand a Republican President and
Vice President.
6.-He is now and always has been Dem
cci at, and has never endorsed the
Republican party.
7.-Bet ause he has proved a failure in
every capacity outside of the mill

itics or National affairs.
9.-Because all the Democratic and rebel
papers indorse him.
10.-He has followed our drunken Demo-
E cratic johnson in all his rebellious
rows against Congress and our party.
11.-Because he has insulted the Republi-
can party by indorsing the removal
81. of the Secretary of War, and accept
ing the position himself.
1--we have one hundred better men for
President.
13.-Because all parties claim him as be-
longing to their party.
1--we have the power to elect q states
man. If we wish to.
15-Because the Democrats and rebels
