North &c like kindred drops are mingled into
one" The "a soothing" and the "harmony -
are, however, all in the Imagination Of the elo-
quent counsel for the rebels.
The rebel leaders do not constitute all the
South. There are thousands there who would
be glad truly to ''accept the situation " and fra
ternize with the loyal men of the North. Ter

gramme was forming The bayonet and the
consumption forced them into armed rebellion.
AND now the same system Of forced disloyalty is
TO be Kept up, if the fraternizing Democrats
of the two sections can accomplish il. Repub-
hcan measures look to the closing Of this reign
Of terror and to the securing to the reconstruct
ed States Republican forms of government,
under the true reading Of that common Con-
stitution - which loyal men have shed their
blood successfully to sustain, while the disloval
have wasted blood and treasure fruitlessly to
subvert it. The union which the confederate
leaders and their northern friends seek TO restore
Is the old league between the southern olgarchv
and the northern Democrats, perpetuating the
slavery Of all men Of one race and the social os-
tracism Of all the whites who confess that negroes
have souls The union which the Republicans
seek to re-afirm and strengthen, is that which

Us. They deny and disavow all participation in
the war and its measures. Where is the - bar
harous hate - in the method in which those late
in the rebellion have been welcomed, not with
mere declaration, but by official acts To be sure
the Congress Of the United States has prevented,
far as legislation could, the measures OF ''bar-
bsrous hate among the people of the South
toward each other. And that Is the ground on
which the Democracy complain.

was the man whom the South itself could praise
for his generosity, msgnanimity and courtesy.
But such Convention was not to the taste OF
the men with whom the quasi-DemOcracy frster-

In the simplicity Of our hearts we have sup
posel that the presence OF uurepeutaut and loud
threatening rebels in the so-callei Democratic
Convention detracted somewhat from the claims
of that body to the respect of loyal men. But
the owl-like wisdom Of one Of the leading jour
nails, on the wrong side in our national politics,
has discovered that the "radical reproach Of
Democracy Is its crovning glory. The south

The ALABAMA CLA1As-A cable despatch says
the London Times Of Monday has long article
on American affairs The writer believes that
Mr.. johnson, the American Minister, has carte
blanche from his Government to settle the Ala
bama case. He says
The case Of itself presents little trouble !;
the only difficulty is the reluctance OF
the American Government to settle the natter,
growing out Of war resentments. No American
statesman ever believed that the Alabama escap-
ed with the connivance of Great Britain. There
might be question Uf inadequate laws, making
England answerabe, but this could be easily set
tied. The real grievance Of the United States Is
England's indifference TO the civil war and her
willingness TO see the Union dissolved
OF this, Americans were conscious at the time.
and remember il keenly now. They think we
should have had active sympathy with the
North that the ConfederacY, based upon human
slavery, should have been at once condemned
that the Republican party was the true friend OF
England that it was wrong to even doubt the
success Of the Federal arms.
After all, the anger Of the Americans was due
to their CONSEQUENCES Of sympathy with England
and her want Of sympathy in their hour or peril
But anger. if right, has been enough -indulged
in. Mr.. Seward has refused q handsome oferfor
America, which should be credited to England.
He now cuts the past adrift and the thing is a.

Mr. Dixon was the commercial traveller
of whom Caroline Kenyon had previously
spoken. lie had remained behind in the
countinq-house to write some letters. with
the object Of saving mail by dropping them
into the first p1st-office he passed in his cross
country drive after leaving Lindon Mill. But
before setting out upon his journey between
the hills. the commonest hospitality prescrlb-
ed that he must share the next meal with
those with whom he had been doing busl-
ness. That had been arranged in the count
ing-house. Stephen Kenyon, Of course, was
aware Of it, and he did not prolong his visit

During the dinner Mrs. Watkins paid
careful attentions TO Mr. Dixon and de-
spite his superhuous Iewelry, and the voice
and the frequent laugh being louder than
was usual in the decorous cathedral town in
which she dwelt, she seemed TO find him en-
tertaining. Some Of his anecdotes must have
sounded in her ears little apocryphal.
Having quoted the remark Of Stephen, that a
rise of prices of Only iarthing on a hundred

whether true or not, could hardly be fully
