patriots actually contemplate doctOring up
Secretary Seward, cutting his corns, and en-
tering him for the Senatorial sweepstake.
The struggle between the four rings over the
Cabinet appointment which is expected to fall
to the share of New York, and for the rich
Office of Collector of the Port, will be post
pOned until after the Senatorial contest shall
have been decided. The victory in Albany
will be half the battle. In the meantime the
expectant Secretaries of the Treasury and POST
master Generals will have to watch aud pray,
and the aspirants for the Custom House will

would be curious, after all, if General Grant
should discard all these rings as bogus, and
should refuse to have anything to do with the
gift enterprise spectators who offer them on
the market.

The Liberal party is of necessity party Of
action and of progress. Disraeli's retirement
is merely an obstacle removed. He will bs
stronger in the opposition than he would have
been as Premier. With his wonderful power OF
scrutiny and attack his knowledge of Parlia-
mentary management, and a large party behind
him. he may he able to assal Gladstone as
effectively as when he defeated him on the
question Of reform. These are vague spscu-
lations, however, and merely represent the
current of English sentiment as it appeared to
us in the last mails. The Liberal party has
advanced one step, but its work is unfinished.
England will never be free until every man is
a citizen and every citizen votes by the bal
lot. Intellect and labor must reign. Perfect
freedom cannot be secured under the present
laws. Disraei retires, Gladstone triumphs;
that is one step. Tomorrow the Irish Church
falls; that is a second step. The cause must
advance, and soon we expect to see on the
banners of the English Libersls;-"We de-
mand the ballot and manhood suffrage !"

Tie Confederate Government not De FactO


From the ~. Y. World.
In the Circuit Court of the United States
for the District of Virginia, Chief Justice
Chase has just delivered an opinion, in the
case of the administrators of Catharine G.
Keppell VS.. the Petersburg Railroad Company,
which establishes, so far as a circuit court
judgment can establish-there being an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court-the principle that
stockholders in 'loyal" States have a right
to dividends declared during the war on stock
held by them in Southern railroads, notwith-
standing the confscation of such stock and
dividends by the Confederate Government.
The opinion the reader may peruse for him
self. In it are two points which demand atten-
tion. The first is that the Chief Justice of the
United States sees fit, in his official capacity,
to ignore the name and style ID this Govern
ment as established by that Constitution he is
sworn to support. Speaking of the COnfede-
rate government he says:-"It never held the
national capital. 1t never asserted any autho-
rity TO represent the nation" 1t would be

Fernando Wood has resigned his lead

Connolly has gone back to Tammany

now in the field against the braves of the

mate return of all the wanderers to the
fold of the fathers. 1t is not likely that
men will spring up to lead them in the
way they were going. In squads, in
companies, and perhaps in regiments, they
will ultimately go back to the Tammany
camp, renew their allegiance to the Sa-
chems, and fight thenceforth under
the banner of Union. They number, all

voters registered in this city last year
was perhaps one hundred thousand. The

be one'hundred and ten thousand. The

Democratic votes will probably be polled.
All these will be cast for Seymour and
Blair, of course, and the ticket about to

Negroes VS.. Carpet.Bageers,

Is it any wonder that the freedmen of
the South are turning en- masse against
the carpet.baggers, when the poor dupes
are shamelessly imposed upon, as is
shown in the following: "In Florida a
carpet-bagging advenfurer sold stakes
to negroes, and told them to go and meas
ure off their forty acres and take pos
session. One old negro, who could not
read, insisted on receipt, which was
given him. He carried it to his old mas
ter, who found it to read as follows
Even as MOSES lifted up the serpent in
the wilderness, so have I lifted this
cussed old fool out of four dollars and

love for the negro, we are ready to ex.
claim with General Grant, "Let US have
peace"

The Meeting on Saturday.


Hon. l.. P. MILLaAN, OF, Indiana, I'D
dressed our citizens on Saturday, the 18th
inst. The speaking was in the Fair
Grounds to large and respectable audi.
ence.
His arraignmeut of tho Radical party
was a picture calculated to open the eyos
of the tax payers to the enormous frauds
perpetrated upon them iu keeping up
New England shoddyites, Freedmcn's
Bureau for the maintenance of ignorant
and worthless Negroes, and a standing
army of $4,000 men to hold as slaves the
white men of the Southern States. The
Bondholders and their National Banks
received scathing Investigation, which
satisfied the people that they were being
swindled By wholesale for the benefit of
the vile patty Of plunderers and thieves
in power.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. MILLIGAN's
remarks, Hon. JAS. R. MORRIS addressed
the meeting briefly and closed with pro-
posing three cheers for the distinguished
orator and gentleman Hon. L. P. MILL
GAN. They were given with vim that
argued i'll to the Jacobins at the ballot.
box. Our people were we'll pleased with
Mr.. MILLIGAN and with one accord ex-
press the hope that he will make it con-
venient to again address the Democracy
of Monroe County during the present
campaign.

Gov. Morton of Indiana, declared
in speech in the Senate, that nineteen
out. of twenty of the people of the
Southern States are opposed to the Con-
stitution and code of laws forced upon
them by the bayonet. This is praeti-
cal truth. But what has been establish
ed by the sword, Radicals are prepared to
maintain by powder and ball if pecessa-
ry. What happy people we shall be
when, if Radical rule is perpetuated, this
theory becomes general, and bayonets
are called into requisition to force negro
suffrage upon the people of this and all
the Northern States. No matter if the
people of Ohio object to negro suffrage
at the ballot-box by forty thousand ma.
iority,it will be enforced by military rule
if Gen. Grant is elected. These are
