ARKANSAS ADMITTED TO REPRESENTATION. -
BY a vote of thirty to seven the Senate
yesterday overruled the veto of the bill ad-
hitting the State of Arkansas to representation.
AS il is now law we presume that the del
egation will take their seats in both houses of
Congress to-day. Both Senators and all the
Representatives are radicals, and that such is
the case is due entirely to the course pursued
by the conservatives Of Arkansas at the recent
election. They declined to nominate candi-
dates for State or Congressional Offices, simply
contenting themselves with voting against the
ratification of the constitution. Hence, when
Il was ascertained that the instrument was rat
fled, they found the State almost entirely in
the hands Of the radicals, although they had
carried two of the three Congressional dis
tricts and q sufficient number of legislative
districts to have insured decided conserva-
tive majority In both branches of the State
Legislature. That they are now represented
in Congress by radicals alone is their own
fault, and they will have to abide by the result
Of their mistaken policy not 10 say folly.

REMOVING DISABILITIES OF Ex-REBELs-
The House Of Representatives has passed, by
the required two-thirds vote, the bill removing
the political disabilities of some twelve hun
dred rebels. The democrats almost unani-
mously voted against the measure because the
names Of two conservatives were struck from
the list. 1t was alleged by a member, during
the debate prior to the taking of the vote, that
one Of the parties named for Congressional
clemency had recommended the assassination
Of President Lincoln and that the gentleman in
question was from North Carolina. Mr.. Broom
all. however, would not permit the name TO be
mentioned. OF course not. The person, who
ever he IT, has Joined the radical party, and by
80 doing has exhibited positive signs of repent
ance Of any crime he may have committed or
advised In behalf Of the rebellion.

The only way 70 check this frightful dcmoraliza-
ton and to protect the revenues Of the govern
ment from fraud is to Ak the responsibility in
the President, where IL properly belongs and
where the constitution and the founders Of the
government placed it. At present no one is
responsible, the Executive department of the
government having been utterly disorganized
by the partisan legislation Of Congress, and
the consequences are seen in unparalleled
frauds and in the loss of a hundred millions or
more of revenue The remedy is not in
reduction Of the whiskey tax, but in the proper
restoration Of the executive powers of the
President 80 as to make and hold him respon-
sible for the execution of the laws. ~
The Church Militant In England.
The Church has been animated with war
like spirit, In a greater or less degree, at all
periods of its history from the moment when
ST. Peter used his sword so rapidly and dex-
terously in defence, as he considered, of its
divine Head. The healing example of peace
by which the pugnacty Of the apostle was i'm
early date but his ready show of fight has had
imitatators -Pontifcal, Episcopal and in lay
zealots-to the present hour. The theologians
assert, indeed, that to be triumphant in heaven
the Church must be militant on earth-a dogma
held most tenaciously by the Irish branch Of
the establishment during the past three cen
turtles, and which, as appears by our cable tele
grams published to-day. its commandments and
sympathizers are likely to cherish to the end.
The Gladstone liberals of England called
meeting yesterday in London for the purpose
of giving public expression to resolutions in
support of the Irish Church Suspensory bill
now pending before the House of Peers. The
Lord Mayor of London presided. The Disraeli-
Derby men, however, with ''sharp practice
which affords strong proof of the daily Ameri-
canization Of the political strategy of Britain,
'laid pipe" actively and filed the hall with the
most decided opponents of the requisitionsts.
The tories would not permit resolution
adverse to the Church to be put from the chair,
the Lord Mayor was forced to retire, general
row, verging to a riot, ensued, and the mixed
assemblage dissolved without any defined
result II is quite evident that England is being
prepared for most violently exciting election
contest. The Irish mobiles and clergymen who
waited on Mr.. Disraeli lately have likely indoc
trinated the Premier into the native plan of
muscular support of religion; and if he could
now have couple of lessons from few of the
leading ballot box managers" of New York he
would be very likely to win at the polls and be
able to preserve the Church just as It is. Pro-
fessers may 60 over to Downing street from
Tammany Hall, If well paid, after the Presi-
Dental election in November-not before.

July Convention. we
There are many men who take the greatest
possible interest in the Convention to be held
here on the Fourth, and are exceedingly anx-
ious that the nominee of that Convention should
be soldier hero of the great war; In OPP
posing Grant they say soldier is necessary.
A record of battles fought difficulties over
come, terrible and trying ordeals gone through.
is the most tangible and effective evidence Of a
mans great qualities that can be put before
the mass Of voters. There is something in it.
We only fear, however, its inequality. For
what sort of show do these democratic candi-
dates make with their records beside the record
of Grant, They are nearly all men who proved
one time or another, though withal good
fighters gallant and honorable gentlemen, who
did noble service, for which the country must
ever remember them with grateful thoughts
But what is McClellan beside Grant in our story4
or what is Hancock? or what is Buell.? 1t is
not pleasant to have to name gentlemen
who have served 30 well as these in terms that
seem disparaging yet it must be acknowledged
that the achievements of men Of this class pale
altogether before those of the soldier who finally
crushed the rebellion.
But if the Democratic Convention must
nominate a soldier--if it must have name
identified with the glories of the war-we
will recommend a candidate for its favors. Let
il nominate General Robert E. Lee Let it
boldly take at once the best of all its soldiers,
making no palaver or apology. He is better
soldier than any of those they have thought
upon and greater man. He is one in
whom the military genius of this nation finds
its fullest development. Here the inequality
will be in favor of the democrats; for this
soldier, with a handful of men, whom he had
moulded into an army, bafled our greater
Northern armies for four years; and when
opposed by Grant was only worn down by that
stolid strategy of stupidity that accomplishes
its objects by mere weight. With one quarter
the men Grant had this soldier fought him
magnifcently across the territory of his native
State, and fought his army down to a stump.
There never was such an army or such a
campaign, or such general for illustrating
the military genius and possibilities of our
people; and this General is the best of all for
a democratic candidate. It is certain that
with half as many men as Grant had he would
have beaten him from the field in Virginia,
and he affords the best promise of any soldier
for beating him again.

CHASE ANYHow.-The radicals and the cop
perheads are beginning to fatter themselves with
the delusion that Chase as Presidential can
didate, with the refusal Of the Democratic Con-
vention TO take him up, will be dished. But
this lisa mistake. A movement Is afoot to run
the Chief Justice as the candidate Of new
and independent constitutional democratic
Union party, including State ticket In New
York and elsewhere, as well as an electoral
ticket; and such movement will be apt to
break up the calculations of the radicals and
smash the Tammany machine.

Haytt, Dominica, Mexico and the Rest.
The mixed races of Hayti, Dominica, Chile,
Peru, Mexico and the rest of them are In q
strange muss at the present moment. Both
sections of the island of st. Domingo are in
state of internal revolution, and the one Sec
ton may be said to be at war with the other
A similar state of things exists in Chile and
Peru. Mexico is, perhaps, the most chroni
cally diseased of all. The Mexican news of
to-day differs from the Mexican news of any
date during the last forty-fve or fifty years
chiefly in this, that Mexico Is proved to be in
worse, more helpless and more hopeless state
than il has ever been before. The mongrel
races of the West India islands, of Central and
South America, have, by singular coincidence,
each sunk to the abyss of misery and raised
the wall of despair at the same moment. The
coincidence is all the more remarkable that it
occurs at time when the doctrine of the
equality of the races has reached a climax in
this country. Interesting for many reasons, it
has special bearing on our present relations
with Mexico. Minister Romero is here and
wants two things-money and an acceptable
American Minister. We have already ex-
pressed our opinion in regard to the money
We will simply repeat that opinion and say
that Mexico ought to get no money from us.
She has no right to IL. Besides, it is not
money she needs so much as common sense.
As to the Minister to Mexico our advice is
equally simple and practical. We can do
nothing till the Presidential election is over.
So soon as that is over we have no objection
that Mexico have Minister sent from the
United States. Phil Sheridan is the man we
recommend. Only we wish Phil to be es-
corted by becoming retinue We advise
that he be accompanied by twenty-five thou
sand men. Ten thousand might do. II did
before. But considering the Improvement that
Mexico has made in the military art in the In
terval, and considering what is due to one of
our most distinguished generals, we recon-
mend retinue of twenty-five thousand men,
with the ordinary following.

with his bsesches down. he not only laid hun
self out Cat and cold but made his campaign
the funeral Of the old whig party. Let Cen
oral Grant, in departing on this projected ex-
cursion, beware of the Rocky Mountain cop
perheads or they may flank him, and catch
him, and scalp him, and serve him up like
General Scott Or "a hasty plate ofsoup."'

VANDALIsM. - We have heard of
several acts of vandalism, perpetrated
on Friday night, that deserve severe
punishment, could the authors be
discovered. A number of small boys,
under pretence of firing a salute in
honor of the 4th of July, amused
themselves by shooting through win
dows, and in one instance committing
burglary. In Parvin, Lewis & Co. s
pork house, corner Of Locust and
Water Streets, some twenty lights of
glass we're broken. some of them being
merely perforated, as with small balls,
and some badly shattered. Two fine
large lights in Chandler's Block-one
IN the drug store, and the other in
the rooms recently occupied by the
Messrs. Coolidge, were perforated as
if with several shots. One of the large
lights in the show window of Ahler-
ing q Hassler, confeetioners, on First
Street, adjoining the Opera House.
Was 5HHVUOTUU, UITU-ls,~,--~r r,..-,---y
whichever was used, passing through
the inner sliding window. The front
glass, which was &c by 40 inches, was
broken out, and thence was taken two
pound cakes, two jelly cakes and a
drum of fgs. There may have been
other goods stolen, but nothing else
has been missed 4 light Of glass
in the window Of DIR. Hurd's new
building, on Locust Street, next door
to ex-Recorder Nelson's, was also
broken in like manner. The pistol
was probably charged with small
gravel instead of bullets. Five lights
in DR.. Hurds building were perforat-
ed and badly broken. Warrants were
issued yesterday evening against four
boys, who are supposed to be the
guilty parties. They had not been
arrested at a late hour last evenving.

tinguished steamboat agent of Tell
City. Mr.. Steiner was introduced to
the people by Mack Levi, Esq, of
Louisville, as the father of the Swiss
colony at Tell City. and a pioneer in
the Western wilderness. Judge Laird
made the presentation speech in his
usual brilliant and eloquent style,
and Bro. Deering, Chaplain of the
Taraseon, on behalf of Mr.. Steiner
made the reception speech, which was
sublimely beautiful. The cap is of
black velvet, beautifully embroidered
with gold, and trimmed with gold
lace, and cost 800 1t was princely
present, worthy the givers and re-
eeiver.
