THE PRESIDENT is acting fairly for the
people, and serving the interests OF Law and
Order, but he has lately put sad affront
upon the Blair factionists. The opinion of
Mr. Evarts, concerning the resignation Of
Mr.. Rollins, prevents a tool of the Whisky
Ring from becoming Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, and yet Mr.. johnson, disre-
garding the Ring, has acquiesced in the At
torney Generals views So also, he has put
his heel fiat upon the idea of the New York
Convention, by recognizing the present
Southern State organizations, and refusing to
consider them as the insensste Blair pretends
to do, unconstitutional, null and void.
The instructions given to General Buchanan
were prepared by General Schofield with
strict regard to the fact that Louisiana is as
much legal State as Pennsylvania or Ohio
and were fully approved by the President.
We do not wonder that, as Washing
ton telegram says, 'leading Democrats herr
are disguised, affirming that the course t,
be taken in the matter strikes directly at on
of the main planks in their platform.

Arms Seized.
WASHINGTON, October 23.-Advices from
Panama, October 4, reports the political
muddle on the Isthmus becoming more and
more complicated. General Correoso was
unable to send a force against Chiriqui,
because the steamer MontijO required $4,000
down for charter, and the soldiers refused
to go unless General Correoso went with
them.
The first difficulty was almost surmounted
by forcing a loan from prominent mer-
chants. but when this was done the Montiio
raised her price to $4,000, which General
Correoso could not pay.
All ports of the State were declared
closed, and a clearance to the Montijo for
Costa Rica was refused. An armed force
took possession OF an American newspaper,
the Chronicle, and were supposed to be
looking for the Spanish editor.
Some three hundred stand of American
arms, the property Of New York firm,
were seized by the authorities on the
eleventh, and carried off to the barracks.
The laws of the Columbian Congress, defiu-
ing the rights and obligations Of foreigners
had been issued in the official bulletin of
Panama city.

NEW YORK.


NEW YORK, October 23.-The following
is more explicit statement of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court of the State
The question raised in the lower court was
the right OF the elector to sit in the Con-
vention for the remodeling of the State
Constitution, because he declined to take
the "test oath" as prescribed by the Legis-
lature:
The decision of the higher court was in
substance, that the Legislature had no
constitutional right to impose any such
obligation upon an elector, because If
there was any guilt incurred by giving aid
TO the rebellion, the overt acts were COM
mitted before the statute was passed, and
the law of the Legislature was therefore in
this case an er post facto law, and created a
new crime, which is contrary to the spirit
and letter of the Federal Constitution, and
that the statute in question violates the
Constitution of the State of New York.

General Gran.

History constantly repeats ITSELF The
abuse to which Grant is subjected by the
organs of the Democratic party is only a
reproduction of the abuse which the prede-
eessors of the same organs lavished upon
Washington. He, like Grant, was charged
with imbecility, and with political and per.
sonal corruption. 1t is the misfortune of
our politics that the best man can not come
before the people but he is treated in the
same manner that the worst man would
deserve. But such slanderous assaults sell
dom produce the intended effect. The Demo
cratic papers might as well attempt to prove
that Grant was not in the war, as to prove
that he did not conduct it with eminent abil
ity and eonsummate generalship. And the
fame to which he entitled himself and his
claim upon the gratitude of the country
were no where more fully admitted than Ia
the same papers that now deny his capa-
city. and repeat the opprobrius epithets
which are showered upon him by the re-
bels. Nor is it alone in military command
that Grant has shown his capacity. He
has displayed, in all Ihis career, the admin
istrative qualities which ft man for the
head of civil affairs. And all this is be-
fore the country, in full view of all the
people, who gratefully appreciate all that
he has done, and who hopefully look for
ward to what be is yet to accomplish -

PENNsxLvANIA VICTORY.

We clip the following verses from the
Philadelphia Press, in which they appear
over the initials of Charles Godfrey Leland
They express the joy of Republicans every
where:
Thank God at last for victory
Thank God we've gained our fight!
Though battle'clouds are rolling yet,
At length we see the light.
Dark was the hour of deadly strife,
And darker were our fears;
Yet not true heart failed us in
The breaking of the spears.
"What cheer from Pennsylvania ?"
Comes flashing DER the wires;
What tidings from the Keystone State ?"
Each friend afar inquiries.
The land of Penn is saved again,
The Keystone State is free;
We've gained our greatest triumph yet
A civic victory.
Can Union men so soon forget?
They ask DER rolling waves;
Is there by night no solemn light
Above dead soldiers graves?
No! Union men remember we'll
Those graves are affairs still;
Hurrah the dead have fought with US,
And nerved each heart and will
AMI faster, faster come the cheers,
And louder ring hurrahs;
And wilder, wilder are the shouts
Of laundering applause!
From West and East the cry "Well done ~
They sound it o'er the sea;
1t thrills fresh life to freemen's hearts,
Our golden victory
What no through all your Southern land
What no! through Northern pines!
Ills beard in pleasant Italy;
1t sings DER German vines.
In Paris, and in Burgundy,
Such news the Liberals seek.
"'Tis well in the United States,
VtUe, 0iUe la Repu blique ~
Well let them hear such news again
Before this fight is DER;
Wen let them see that liberty
Still lives upon this shore.
Enough as Pennsylvania leads,
The Union always goes,
And Pennsylvania has gone
And triumphed DER her foes
