probable that Congress will take the more
moderate course, and by counting the South
crn votes, fix the fact OF reconstruction, though
involuntlrily, on firm basis. But should 1t
take the other course there is probability
that sach defiance Of the present political SEN
timsn's of the nation would so intensity the
movement against the radicals as to insure, by
carrying that movement TO an extreme point
the most liberal possible restoration of the
hope that while tho question Of the electoral
vote Of the South may involve danger to the
nation twill also put forward an issue which
is 10 determine and hasten the rehabilitation Of
the States in all their rights

Gold and legal tenders are coming into col
lison in the courts, and the question will have
to be settled without delay, because the bal
ance canno. remain in its present uneven con-
dition much longer without seriously affecting
the commercial interests Of tho whole country
The question will have to be settled, too, upon
the basis Of common sense For instance,
when ii is contracted that liabilities, shall be
met in gold they should be liquidated in that
material, just the same as Ii 1t was con tracted
that they should be liqnidated in otton, or
iron, or any other substance. But IL the con-
tract contains no such specification then it
follows naturally that III, debt shall be
liquidatcd in money, which means the legal
tender OF the country. THIS is the common
sense view Of the matter, and this view, we
have very little doubt the courts will take Of
the subject when 1t comes before them for fnll
adjudication. At this time there Is n conflict
OF judgment in the lower courts, both In this
city and In the West; but the public rely upon
The Supreme Court to put the matter 10 rest
by prompt decision.

Tho Fright Among tho Radicals nj Wnsh-
iugtOn.

The radicals at Washington are obviously
alarmed. Messrs. Pomeroy of New York,
Washburne, OF Indiana, and Cullom, OF Illinois,
left the national capital on the 81 Of January
and hurried to Richmond. Their object was
TO address the Virginia reconstruction con
vention and enlighten that body on the political
topics Of the day, especially on the subject OF
negro reconstruction. Ben Butler himself pro
poses to start for Richmond on crusade in
the same direction. His main Object is, il is
said, to edify the colored race in their new and
important position in Southern politics, rather
than TO attempt the hopeless task OF controlling
the movements Of The Southern whites. Ben
Butler has not decided to extend his tour to
the other Southern States, al .hough he has not
abandoned his designs upon the leadership OF
the black voters OF tho South. We cannot re-
train from expressing our conviction that all
these efforts OF the radical party to secure their
success must prove unavailing, aud will only
serve to render their Ultimate defeat the more
decisive and noteworthy.

Tho Eyil. of Party Joarns. Ism.

Many generations haye now rolled past
since Lord Bacon specified the ido,a sp:cus as
one OF the classes of evils to be guarded
against in inductive reasoning. 1t is not to be
denied that his lordship's teaching has pro-
duced good iruis. and that by adopting the
principles Of The inductive philosophy the
world has been made wiser and happier. 1t
unfortunately happens, however, that the
Idols OF the cave or den have
not yet ceased to be stumbling
block in the way of correct reasoning, and
consequently in the way OF human progress
1t has been the misfortune of art, science
literature, politics and religion that men have
refused to know or acknowledge anything
except that which has come un der their obser-
walton rs dwelers in the cave or den. In
other words, many men see only those facts
which they wish to see, and see them only
from certain angular standpoint. This I'M
fortunate habi. of the human mind is the
grandest Of oil distractions to genuine pro.
gress.
Had Lord Bacon lived in our day he might
have pointed wi great propriety to our New
York Journalists as examples OF what he meant
by jewellers in the cave. II is certainly fact
to be deplored that, in free country like our
own, where the government is vestel in the
people, the press which is supposed to be the
popular voice, should be SO sadly want
ing in truthfulness and noble independ-
ency Of thought Party journalism has
long been spoken of by foreigners as
one Of the greatest evils which afllicts the
United States The existence of the evil is not
to be denied, and nowhere i, it more visible
than in New York city. With but one excep-
ton all our daily journals are exclusively
devoted to the interests Of party. The natural
and necessary result is that in those journals
you look in vain for an honest and impartial
discussion Of the great questions of the hour.
The slavery which they exhibit is of the
most miserable and abject kind. They see
only as they are permitted 10 see,
think only as they are permitted to think, and
speak only as they are permitted to speak.
The party journalists of New York are not
only jewellers in the cave, but dwellers in
darkness. From the cave oil light is excluded.
As consequence moro miserable Laundering
in regard to the great questions and issues Of
the day has never been witnessed. We have
made one exception, and If we have done so it
is because tho New York HERALD has through
out the entire course OF its history identified
itself with the people and with no section or
purity, has chosen to look facts honestly in the
face, and has at all times and in all circum-
stances given free, Independent and unbiased
judgment The growth of party journalism is
one of the worst signs Of the times. II is an
evil, however, which the practical American
people know how to cure.

News from tho West-Erom China "a
Europe.

Europe.
Europe has been accustomed to receive her
Oriental news from the East and in this
country, not very long ago, we looked for the
same class or news by way Of Europe. The
overland route and Mediterranean steamship
lines and telegraphs from Marseiles conveyed
the latest intelligence from India, China and
Japan and it reached us by the Atlantic mail
steamers. This is oil changed now, and news
from these quarters goes to Europe via San
Francisco and New York. 1t has to come
westward before it goes eastward. Probably
the most important news that has emanatcd
from the two most prominent Oriental king
doms-which included the China mission to the
Western Powers and the extraordinary politi-
cal revolution going on in Japan--was pub
lished in these columns on Monday, and, no
doubt, was sent by the Atlantic cable TO
Europe, thus making q circle "rounl about
the EARTH" il not in forty minutes at least in
twenty-four days, which few years ago would
have been regarded rs Incredible. This, which
il Eastern news to rs, Is, therefore in reality
Western news to the nations of Europe, sincs
it comes to them from this great entrepot Of
the Western Continent, New York. And so the
march Of scientific wonders and enterprise
goes on. Westward, indeed, the course OF
empire takes its way, but in The matter Of news
il goes back again TO the East

Before the war General Grant, having re-
signed his position in the United States army,
had become familiar with the leather business
Consequently be could have answered intel
ligently any committee which had chosen to
question him as to the condition and prospects
Of the leather trade. But when Ben Wade
and bis friends applied to him for his views on
the questions OF the day hc contented himself
with "ialking horse" And when Alexander
r. Stewart and his friends wrote to him we
understand that he sent in response a letter in
which he not only said not word about poll
ties but also not even q word about horses.
