was, to all intents and purposes, merely an
attempt to revive the Rebellion under new
and less obnoxious name. II the "haud-iu-
band" experiment Is to be continued as II has
been begun in Louisiana and some other
Southern States, It will fail likewise. On the
Sd OF November II worked admirably as far
as ''our old masters" were concerned. They
went to the polls and voted solidly for Sey-
mour and Blair, for Reputation and revolu-
tion. So did q few Of the poor, deluded
negroes; but such Of them only as went
'marchipg hand-in-hand" with their old
masters, TO vote, at their dictation and on
peril Of their lives, with the party whose sue
cess meant death, destruction, and damnation
TO all their race.
the experiment is to be continued in this
fashion, we repeat that IL will fail-thst it
must fail. The platform on which General
Grant was carried into the Presidential chair
was the platform OF "Peace," and that plat
form can be inaugurated only by prompt
and summary termination to the system OF
persecution and prescription which, under
the auspices of the Hampton Democracy, has
made a negro's life in the Southern States
worth less 10 him and to the country than the
life of an unolean beast. To bring about
different state of affairs, less disgraosful to
The nation at large and more merciful to both
races in the South, is the task which awaits
President Grant and the Forty-frst Congress.
Before their lease of power begins, Andrew
Johnson and the Fortieth Congress are
interposed during period of three
months. Congress is faithful to its
trust, and has given abundant proof of its
stern patriotism aud unwavering devotion to
the cause of justice and liberty. Andrew
Johnson, encouraged by the "arm-in-arm"
episode of August, 1866, has shown himself to
be anything and everything but what is desi-
rable and in accordance with the sentiments
of vast majority of the people. Will he
continue in his stubborn and dsloyal ways,
or will he accept the verdict Of the people,
join hands with Congress, and leave Presi-
dent Grant and the Forty first Congress
but little or nothing to accomplish, save the
more thorough harmonizing of the heteroge-
neous elements of our populations In three
months he can undo much of the evil he has
done since the hand of an assassin made him
the arbiter of our destinies. Ii he will but
make serious attempt at pacifcation, he will
retire from the Presidency in much better odor
than did James Buchanan or Franklin Pierce.
If he does not make such an attempt he may
yet possibly retire from Office before the 4th of
March next.

murdeT.

TIE city was startled this morning by the in
telligence that q most foul murder had been
committed last evening, at the northeast cor
ner Of Tenth and Pine streets. The utmost
excitement now prevails on the subject, and
the scene of the terrible deed has been visited
by throDg Of people during the morning
anxious to learn all the particulars. There is
no doubt but that the guilty parties have
been discovered, and, shocking to relate,
the perpetrators of the deed are the near rela-
tives of the murdered woman. Our local
columns will be found to contain full particu-
lars of this diabOlical outrage, and from the
facts already brought to light, 1t is evident
that lust for wealth, and desire to obtain
possession Of property which did not rightly
belong to them, inspired a husband
to coDspire with his wife for the murder
of her own mother. The parties to this affair
have hitherto moved in respectable society,
and, considering all the circumstances, this
murder is one of the most horrible that has
ever been committed in Philadelphia. The
murderer, and, from present app earances, his
scarcely less guilty wife, were taken almost in
the very act, with their hands still reekiug
with the blood of their victim; and there is
little doubt but that retributive Justice swift
and sure, will be visited upon them for their
crime.
