MosELEY ON THE SITUATION.

From Mr.. ALEX. MosELEY's inaugu-
raj on returning to the editorial tripod,
We make two striking extracts;
81 take it, the military are now mas
| tiers of the situation. General Grant
might at any time previous to his quar-
rel with Mr.. johnson have put Presi-
| dent, Congress and supreme Court in
! Fort Delaware or Fortress Monroe,
and not a hand would have been raised
for resistance or revenge. No rival
chieftain was then in position to con-
test his SUPP emaey-U know of none
now the jolly mob would per-
haps have enjoyed, with the keen rel
isho gratitied envy, the discontinue
OF their upstart superiors.
"My reading supplies me with no in
stance in history, where the military,
once in the ascendant, have ever per-
msnently forfeited theirvpredominance
They might be subjected to temporary
checks; but they never failed in the
end to assert their supremacy. The
circumstances which create one Caesar
ever suffice to engender another. /
know nothing in the condition of this
country to except it from the operation
of the universal rule.p
Unfortunately history does furnish
an exact analogue to the American Sit
uaton. The assumption of the purple
by OcTAvIASUs, the establishment of a
Protectorate in England, the Restora-
ton in 1000, accession OF WILLIAM and
MARY, the downfall of the Bourbons,
the First Consulate, the Empire-no
one of thesA,Ynor all of them combined
supply the conditions Of the problem
we have to deal with. Still less light
is afforded by the history of the petty
republics in Italy. We have to deal
with entirely new conditions, aud with
human nature modified by those condi-
tions. Nevertheless, we hold with Mr..
hosELY, our only doubt being as to the
time of the fulflllment of his predictions
for they amount to that. The indi-
cations are that the empire is to be post
poned-perhaps indefinitely.

A NEW MODE.

4 Boston paper says:-"A few days
since well dressed young man entered
brokers' office in this city, and said he
desired to buy some bonds. lie gave
the kind and amount, and said he would
call again the next day. He did so, and
then requested the broker to send him
$4,000 worth to his place of business,
naming store in a good business To-
calty. The broker was suspicious, and
instructed ehe messenger, his clerk, not
to let the bonds 90 out of his sight until
he had received the money therefor
At the store the young gentleman APP
peared, took the bonds, and, opening a
desk, placed them in a pigeon hole, and
then locked them up. He called the
clerks attention to the operation, and
told him to sit down and wait while he
stepped out and cashed check. The
clerk waited until it was apparent that
the young trader had disappeared, and
lie then investigated the matter, and
found that there was a 'back entrance
to the desk, through which the bonds
had been taken and carried off. The
name of the business man is not known,
his whereabouts are also involved in
mystery, and Boston broker is $4,000
out

THE BROAD GROUND.

With Characteristic pluck, Gen. F.
B. Blair, our candidate for Vice. Presi-
dent, says:
ellow-citizens, | take the broad
ground that the white race is the only
race in the world that has shown itself
capable OF maintaining free Institutions
and free government; (applause) that
nowhere, in any country, or at any time,
have the black people shown themselves
es capable of establishing or maintain
ing constitutional government, or any
other kind OF government. Yet the
people of the Southern States have
been DISTINGUISHED and the ignorant
placks-the same people that the Re-
publican party has declared were i'm
bruted by slayery-whom we all know
to be gnorant-whom we all know to
be semi-barbarous--whom we all know
nave never been capable OF creating,
establishing, or maintaining a free gov
ernment, are made to predominant in
all those States. Not only are they
made to predominant in the Southern
states, but the three or four millions of
SENT Darbarlous blacks have the entire
control OF those States, and send TWEEN
ty Senators to the United States Sem
ate, while the four millions OF white
people of New York send but two Sem
ators. 1t would take New York Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Mis-
souri, and enough of the other great
states of the Union put together con-
tanning twenty millions Of white peo-
pie, to counterbalance the three or four
million blacks in the South so that the
negroes are not only put above the
white people of the South, but above
the white people Of the North, also; and
three or four millions of blacks are made
equal III the Senate of the United States
to more than twenty millions Of the
tree white people Of the North. [Cheers,
and cries OF shame.l

A NOTA3LE BOOK,

The editoria! writings of the late John
NJ. Daniel, former editor aud propric-
tor of the Richmond Daily Examiner,
and which were published in that paper
during the war, have been republished
in book form by his brother, Frederick
S. Daniel, Esq. Mr.. Daniel was one Of
the most remarkable men ever connect
ed. with the journalism of the South, and
his powerful and trenchant pen, aided
by corps of the most vigorous and
brilliant writer's under his direction,
rendered the Richmond Examiner, es-
pecially during the war. one of the most
conspicuous and distinguished Of A.
merican journals.

appeared firstin The Round Table, from
which it was copied into the New Ec-

attributing the authorship to Mr.. MUIR

misinterpreted. We do not know the

PARAGUAY.

Spunky little Paraguay stills holds her
own in her protractod struggle with
Brazil, Uruguay and the. Argentine
Republic. One million OF Paraguayaus
are fighting for their country and their
tiresides against eleven millions ofallies
The allies, some three years ago. by a
secret treaty, agreed to partition out
the territory of Paraguay among them
selves on overrunning aud subjugatirg
it. 1t is because of this declared pur-
pose OF the allies that the civilized
world sympathizes with the Paraguans.

the subscription.
IA person ordering his paper discontinued
