NATURALIzATIoN.-H HoW ii works-An ex-
change says, with great truth, that the Democ-
racy left no stone unturned, nor any thing un-
done, which could by any means add vote to
their side, or reduce the majority of the Re-
publcans. Every man who could be natural
lied has been, and every naturalization paper
has its representative, for no deaths are ever
known to occur in that part of the Democrat

AFRICAN LoGIc-An address written by the
negroes of South Carolina to their white fel-
low-citizens had the following sentence: "And
if we are to be massacred because we refuse to
vote the Democratic ticket; if we are to be
murdered in cold blood because we will not
sell our manhood, then let ii conceive can die
but once; and if, as you state, thirty millions
of white men are going to fall upon four mil
lions because they are black, and will not vote
for Horatio Seymour and f. p. Blair for Pres-
dent and Vice President OF the United States,
both of whom have declared that the negroes
have no right to vote, then zoe are prepared to
die, but not TO yOte to be Killed"

THE NEW ADMlN1sTRArloN

Although tho smoke Of the battle mas
scarce cleared away, the politicians of both
parties are busiIy engaged in making and
breaking "Slatcs." All manner of men
have been suggested for all manner Of
positions, and still the work goes on
The Democratic press and Democratic
speakers are solaciug themselves with the
delusiso fancy that in General Grant, the
Radicals have secured their own destruc-
,ion-that he will Tylerize-that there
will be government teats for Democrats
to pull; and some have even gone SO far
as to advocate the casting of the Demo-
cratic electoral vote for him in this ex-
pectation. Could folly do more? Is the
Democratic party so lost to all sense Of
honor as to submit to this base treachery?
We think not. Ours has been fight for
principle-not for men; and though we
have been beaten by frauds on one hand,
and treachery on the other, it is our duty
to bear our defeat as becomes men who
labor, not for self-aggr,ndisement-not
for political place-not for the leaves and
fishes, but for the welfare of our unhappy
country-for the restoration of peace and
order throughout all our borders, and for
those immutable principles which are the
foundation of all free government.
Whatever the leaders may say or do,
the mass of the Democratic party will
stand faithful to their principles. They
will froSn down with contempt all at
tempts to sell the meagre fruits Of their
hard-fought battles. for the sake of the
advancement of few demagOgues who
aspire to the position of leaders.
What i, to be gained by such course:
If General Grant is u Democrat he will
administer the government upon the broad
and catholic grounds of the Constitution.
If, as We believe, he is, simply an instru-
ment in the hands of corrupt Radical
politicians, all that we could do would not
change the character Of lis admiuistra-
ton.
We have no harsh word for the leader
of great party; still less have we terms
of abuse for one who holds the high and
honorable position which General Grant
has acquired. Still, General Grant was
run by the Radicals, as u radical, upon a
ra ;icsl platform, supported by radicals,
and elected by radicals. In the name Of
common sense. what grounds have Denl-
ocrats to believe that he will, in the face
of all this, betray the men who advanced
him to his present position? The idea is
simply ridiculous. 1t is as "baseless as
the fabric of a,visicn." General Grants
administration will be radical his adyi-
sers will be radical; his appointees will
be radical; and he. himself, will be the
scapegcat upon which their sins will b:
laid.

JUSTICES ] JURISDICTION.

The Constitu ton Of the United States,
as well as the Constitution Of this State,
concur in the declaration that "in suits Of
common law, where the value in contro-
versy shall exceed twenty dollars, the
right of trial BY jury shall be preserved.
BY the Virginia bill of rights, it is de-
clared "that, in controversies respecting
property, and in suits between man and
man. the ancient trial by jury of twelve
men is preferable to any other, and ought
to be held sacred" In the early history
of our government, such thing as en-
pannelling jury before justice was
entirely unknown to our judicial syste m
but as our law makers advance in the
science of government, they gradually
throw off that which was incorporated
into the system as safeguards, and have
adopted new ideas and new principles as
the foundation of that purity and justice
which it has been our boasted pride to
have inherited from the fathers Of the
Republic.
The Legislature now in session has
passed an act increasing the jurisdiction
Of justices to 5000. and has probably
conferred jurisdiction upon them for the
trial of all sorts of actions. We have
never thought it either wise or safe to con-
fer Jurisdiction upon justices in matters
whereby party to the controversy may
demand under he Constitution, trial By
jury; but if we depart from those ancient
and solid landmarks which we Inherited.
we cannot see the propriety of another
limitation unless the Constitution Of the
United States shall be made to conform
thereto. The jurisdiction of $500 is
either too much or not enough. Let it
be confined TO twenty dollars, or be IN
limited, with proper provisions for appeal

"a TOUGH OLD MAN."

We notice paragraph going the rounds
Of the press in regard to Jacob Winans,
of Milton, Ohio. 1t states that he was
born in 1769.-was married at twenty
one, and his wife has borne him seven
teen children-that in July last, when
ninety mine years old, he walked thirty
six miles in less than six hours-that he
has not tasted intoxicating liquors for
over sixty years-has never paid dollar
to doctor or lawyer-has voted at ev-
cry election since the adoption of the
Constitution; and has served his country
in two wars. The junior editor of this
paper, who is personally acquainted with
Mr.. W., would add to the above, that
the old gentleman has never voted any
other than q straight Democratic ticket
since he became voter. He still looks
bale aud hearty enough to vote for the
next Democratic nominee.
