Our National Securities in Europe.

Ever since the vote of the Senate on the
eleventh article of impeachment there has
been an increased demand at improving prices
for our securities in Europe, and on Saturday
the telegraph reported further advance in
five-twenties in London to 73 a 734. The
English and German bankers here have been
large buyers of the latter Of late and the pros
pect is favorable to q rising market for our
bonds all summer, both at home and abroad.
The fact that the remainder of the seven
thirty notes will be funded this month removes
all apprehensions as to the floating debt
being . source Of embarrassment to
the Treasury, and the public credit
stands higher than II has done at any time
since the suspension Of specie payments.
The investment demand for some weeks past
has been heavy almost beyond precedent, and
90 large has been the absorption of bonds BY
the public that the supply Of them In Wall
street is at present below the average. Con-
sidering that iive-twenties yield six per cent
per annum In coin, while British consols pay
only three, and that while the former are sell
ing at 73 the latter are quoted at 9b, ex
dividend, there Is wide margin for further
advance in our securities abroad, and under
the prevailing elut Of money oil over Europt

to see them all go to work again with renewed
energy and spirit. In fact, the experience Of
the past proves that the immoation of victiiH
on the shrine of justice is regarded as war
rant for the renewal of fraud and corruption
on grander scale than ever
We are inclined to the belief that Callicott
and his gang have been made the catspaws Of
more magnificent rascals, who have availed
themselves of the avarice of their victims to
lure them into a trap, and have sacrificed
them in order to cover up more extensive
frauds. This is an old trick of the whiskey
rings. We hear now and then of an important
seizure of few barrels of whiskey in an
Illicit distillery but we know that the officers
are in close league with establishments that
are plundering the government of millions of
dollars, and that they make the seizure simply
as blind to deceive the public, just as the
police will occasionally break up third rate
shinplaster gambling den while conveniently
closing their eyes to the fashionable ''hells''
where the stakes are counted by thousands.
In like manner we occasionally find a collector
of internal revenue rushing off to Washington
with sure plan for putting stop to all reve-
nue. frauds and making tremendous fuss and
furry in his district; but before three months
have passed we hear of him only in close con-
nection and friendship with the rings whose
rascality he professed to be resolved upon
exposing.
The truth is that all parties alike have been
tainted by the foul corruptions of the Internal
Revenue Department, and that copperheads
and radicals are united in plundering the gov
ernment, if divided in all other respects. The
robberies have been committed heretofore by
small Independent rings-some composed of
radicals, others of copperheads, and some Of
copperheads and radicals mixed, with conser-
vatives thrown in. These rings have been ac-
selves over the best chances of stealing, but
when a common danger threatens them they
are always to be found standing side by side.
The grand scheme of the Jacobins in Congress
has been to consolidate one magnificent ring
that should swallow up all others and seize
upon the whole plunder in the name of repre-
sentative oligarchy. 1t was to accomplish
this end that the two coordinate. branches of
the government-the Executive and Judicial
were to be abolished and supreme power CEN
tired in Congress. This comprehensive scheme
has been temporarily checked by the failure Of
impeachment, but it will be renewed, and
under the Presidency of Grant will be allowed
full swing. It makes little difference, therefore,
what may become of Callicott or any other in
dividual rascal; the people may make up their
minds that whatever party is in power they
will be plundered on scale Of magnitude un-
equalled in the history of the world for many
years to come, and that nothing can save them
until political revolution shall sweep over the
country as fire swept over Sodom and Go
morrah and purify our entire governmental
system.

Chief Justice Chase and the Political
Situation.

Chief Justice Chase and the Political
The platform indicated by Chief Justice
Chase in his reported conversation with Mr.
Harris, of North Carolina, as the one he has
ever stood upon-and still stands upon, without
respect to arbitrary party lines-is also the one
upon which the whole mass of the people of
the country now stand. 1t is the platform the
republicans would have held if their organiza-
had not switched out from the straightfor-
ward course into the devious ways Of the radi-
cal faction. Had the republicans been true to
their original purpose-had they regarded it
always as their primary duty, having finished
the war, to secure in the government its good
results-snd not forgotten that purpose in the
pursuit of revenges and private ambitions, they
would to-day have stood exactly on the ground
held by Chief Justice Chase and on which the
whole mass of the patriotic democracy and
conservative republicans meet him and find
their principles the same. This platform is
simple. It accepts the results of the war as
the facts of history and considers that in those
TtSutS Is dCCOupiSutu ueStiill vi Tile dS-
gressive principles of republicanism; that radi-
calism is dead and must be put out Of sight
that it is the duty even of those who were hon
est radicals to become conservatives now and
to rally for the protection and support of the
law that will guarantee the perpetuity of the
changes they have secured. Having made
their fight for certain changes in the govern
ment and secured those changes It is now their
duty to their principles to array themselves
around the law and protect 1t against reckless
assault, lest revolutionary violence should go
so far that these very changes, thus secured,
should become worthless. Undoubtedly the
whole mass of the people stand on this ground
to-day; for no reasoning man is so wild as to
wish slavery alive again. All accept the result
of the war and all wish to stay the fury of the
revolutionary desperadoes. Reconstruction by
this platform should only be sought in the prac-
tical way of making the Southern people forget
as far as possible their humiliation and failure I;
and hence all agree on universal amnesty, even
though universal suffrage go with 1t and is
corrected by it. Here is the whole political
purpose of the nation, and on all this the people
and the Chief Justice are in full agreement.

No publish the proceedings of the
ConSention held at Harrisburg last
week. The candidates selected are
good men, of unquestioned ability
and tried courage. They will receive
such vote at the October election as
no Dcmocrats have for several years
past. Charles E. Boyle, our nominee
for Auditor General, halls from Fay
otto county, and has represented his
county in the Assembly in such a
faifbful manner as to win golden
opinions from the State at large, as
wo|l as his immediate constituents.
General W. II. Ent, our nominee for
Suireyor General, has record of
which the Democracy may well be
prond. Ho served three years in the
Sixth Pennsylvania Reserves, and
raised from private to Colonel before
the Regiment was mustered out, after
wards received the brevet Of Brig
adler General, and sustained the
doctrines of the Democratic party
throughout-fghting to "restore the
Union" and not to disrupt it. We
can enter on the Fall campaign with
chesrfulness, sure of success, as we
hare candidates nominated whose pri-
vate and political characters are above
snspicion, and our whole strength can
be polled to elect then. They will be
endorsed by the people.
