Appearances indicate the gathering
of another political storm in Italy.
the recent successful revolution in
Spain having famed the smouldering
embers of popular dissatisfaction into
an ardent flame. The presence of
that arch agitator, Mazzini, at Luga-
ia, is also Significant. Several "de-
monstrations" have been made in
different localities, and one very i'm
portant, at the theatre of Bologna,
where the revolutionary hymns were
demanded of the performers. The
modern Italian seems to be IN accu.
rate reproduction of the. French
man OF ninety-eight, with the same
love of disorder, the same tiger
ish thirst for blood, the same brutal
courage and vacillating principle
1t would really appear as though
there was stage in civilization
where the passions Of the people re-
quired to be let off by kind of safe
ty-valve, such as gave birth to the
guillotine, the inquisition, and the
crimes OF Puritanism. Italy has
seemingly reached it, and in a few
months the volcano may be in full
play.

Louis Napoleon clearly shows that
he is alarmed ut the condition of
affairs i'll his empire. He shows this
by his increased severity toward the
press of France. He strikes down
presses, and fines and imprisons edi-
tors, as he has never done before.
Even when he first grasped the reins
of power he was less intolerant and
despotic than he is now. He is evi-
IDENTIFY frightened at the rumblings
and the oscillations of the great
Spanish earthquake. He sits in
dread Of the tidal wave.

two firemen, named Boyhart and

The most,unreasoning and Sniirea-
sonable portion of the Northern peo-
ple assuredly are the editors of the
radical newspapers. If the South is
perfectly submissive, they assail it
for being morose and sullen, and
therefore not to be trusted II the
South is FREQ and out-spoken, and
states its case with an indignant sense
OF wrong, they denounce it as insur-
Sectionary, aud therefore not to be
trusted. If the South is amiable
and civilin its speech, seeking re-
dress In = spirit of entreaty, they fly
into . rage and charge it with deep
laid plots; wherefore it is not to be
trusted 1t is the old fable of the
wolf and the lamb, over and over
again. Up stream or down stream, it
is all the same. The Picnic and
many other Southern papers have
Z moi felt it: to bea part of their duty
TO begin useless and purposcless til
rade. against the newly elected Presi
dent. We have no. great hope of
Grant, we do confess. The little we
have, is furnished us by the radical
papers themselves. Now, we do not
deny that we should like to be able,
not to 'tsteal Grantp--as some of the
Republican papers express it-but to
defeat the efforts of the radicals in
his party TO get and hold possession
OF him. The South is at the mercy
of the party in power. Unless Grant
as moderate in the use Of, his power,
She result in the South will be
deplorable. Ruin the South and
you may not ruin the North; but you
will damage it. There's no denying
This; and we want to make the point
-soplain and clear that Grant will see

go make it so plain and clear that
,Home wiser man will see It. The Lou

Brownlow-who is as near "a relation

hampton, on Long Island. The YES.
sci was apparently about ten miles
from land, and the fire was first seen
at about 7 o'clock z. NJ, lasting
about four hours. The scene from
the land was awfully sublime. The
vessel was floating broadside to land.
The flames illuminated the Heavens
for miles around. Colored rockets
were sent up from the boats of the
burning craft, or other vessels in the
vicinity, as signals of distress. The
night was dark and stormy aad a
heavy sea running. with n strong
Northeast wind. it was impossible to
render any assistance from the shore.
The fire was distinctly visible at

twenty-five miles. s't

ated for the purchase of Alaska. The
rest was paid to journalists, congress
men, and lobbymen. Each of the
New York papers received $4,000.
One M. G. got $25O,OOO. The same
correspondent says that the plates of

they remained twelve days, and in
that time there were, it is supposed,
spurious bonds to the amount of
$50, 100000 struck off.

tion, as things now stand, has no vi
tallty IN single article, section, pa
