VEXED,

The general peace and quiet which pre-
vailed at the recent election, make bad piece
of news for the New York Tribune and the
like sheets. They longed to hear of the
cold blooded massacre of hundreds of col
ored voters by the Ku-Klux-Klan, and to re-
ceive such accounts of the situation of the
"trooly loil' whites as would make it evident
that, without carpet-bag domination sustained
by federal bayonets, those heroic creatures
would have no other alternative than to take
the first northward train or send at once for
the undertaken. These journals know
well that their vital breath consists
of popular belief at the North
in the existence at the South of a spirit of in
extinguishable rebellion. They know well
that, as party organs, they must collapse if
this belief should fail; for then the very bot
tom would be knocked out of their party
Hence their chagrin will be deep beyond ex-
preston at the bloodless character of the
election. The triumphant journey through
the South of Sergeant Bates, bearing the
federal flag, has also greatly veIed them.
They ardently hoped that he would fall on the
way by rebel assassination, or that at least
his flag would be taken from him, trampled on
and torn to pieces by a rebel mob. They
would have welcomed his corpse shrouded in
the shreds of the stars and stripes. But
they utterly abhor him, returning alive, and
bearing the national colors intact as an ocu-
lar proof of the perfect safety which attends
Northern men, and Union men. and loyal
men, in their real character as such, any
where in the South. The flag under which
Sergeant Bates was entirely secure on his
Southern journey, is hardly sufficient to pro-
tect him from the vengeance of Northern
radicals

In another column will be found the announce
ment of the reopening Of Montvae Springs, Ten
nessee. The following, from Knoxville paper,
will give better idea of its exceencies than any
enumeration of them we can present:
MoSTvALE SPRINGS The public have, no
doubt, been pleased to learn from the announce
ment that this delightful summer resort, not only
for invalids, but for seekers of recreation aud
pleasure, will be opened for the reception of
guests on the first of June. The springs will be
under the immediate superintendent of the pro-
prietor-Mr. Joseph L. King-whose excellent
management of the establishment in 1868 will be
pleasantly remembered by all who were so for
tunate as 10 partake Of his Inequalities. The fa-
ciltes for reaching the springs have been greatly
increased. Last year it was necessary to travel
by coach from Knoxville, distance of twenty.
four miles. This season visitors can reach Mary
vile by rail, and by pleasant drive of nine miles
over an excellent road, and in comfortable
coaches, within three hours after leaving Knox
vile. reach Montvale.
Montvsle has never yet been appreciated. AL
though II has long been faVOrite resort with those
acquainted with its merits and attractions, yet
having heretofore been somewhat remote from
the great lines of travel, it has been passed by
for more distant though less attractive resorts in
Virginia and elsewhere. Now that it is brought
within easy approach and is being fitted up in the
best of style, we doubt not-at least we hope-it
will not be long until Montvale takes place in the
very front rank of American watering places.

The feet bearing the prince and princess OF
Wales entered the bay of Dublin on the 18th amid
ROYAL salutes from all the vessels in the harbor.
The feet anchored of Kingston shortly before
noon and soon afterward the prince and princess
landed and were received by the lord lieutenant
of Ireland and the marchioness Of Abercorn, ano

state the commander -in-cbief OF the Irish forces
and large deputation of the principal local au'
thorities. guard of honor occupied the pier,
and IS the line approached the railway station,
all the wharves and buildings commanding
view of the scene we're thronged with people, ana
the space near the station was entirely nlled Dy
the crowd, who cheered necessarily as the parry
passed to the cars.
The train proceeded slowly to Dublin. When
il had arrived at Westard Row, the terminus of
the railroad, the prince and princess and their
attendants elighted. A military guard OF nonor'

The prince and princess and the lord lieutenant
and officers of state then entered the carriages,
and the procession was formed, which passed
through the principal streets Of the city to the
castle.
1he streets, windows and housetops along the
route, were crowded with spectators, who, by
their cheers and cries. manifested the widest en-
thusissm. The buildings on the line OF march
were richly decorated with flags, flowers and Ia
pestry. The day was fine. and the display was
complete success.
The procession reached the castle at 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon. when the prince and princess
were conducted to the State apartments prepared
for their reception.
One of the noticeable features Of the decora-
tons was the frequency with which the American
banner was displayed with the flags of England
and Ireland.
The Prince and Princess Of Wales were enter
tanned on the evening of the 10th at banquet by
the lord lieutenant and marchioness Of Abercorn.
A large number of invited guests were present,

THR ELECTION.

Our returns from the country are very
meager as yet; but so far they are far more
favorable than we had any reason to expect.
We are not without hope that the infamous
Black Crook Constitution has been defeated
East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Caddo,
st. Landry St. Martin, Vermillion, Avoyelles,
Livingston and ST. Tammany have- gone

At the time of writing we are without full
official returns Of the vote in this city and

spite of the shameless and gigantic frauds
perpetrated by the "trooly loil J" mendicants.

STANBERY AS CONDUCTOR OF THE PRESIDENTS
CAsE.-"Swede, )" writing from Washington to the
Cincinnati Commercial, says:
Il is reluctantly admitted that Mr.. Stanbery,
conductor Of Mr.. Johnsons case, Is a failure. He
has been too much of a student, and his expert.
ence is too contracted in ready debate. His tenn
per irritable and his face almost transparent so
that all Butler has to do ia to watch Stanbery's
counteBance TO know where to hit next. This
the "Rluttonous old fbber," as the prize fighters
say, does with a kind of Marat grin which poisons
while he wounds. Beyond this Stanbery's iudg-
ment is bad. Evarts and Curtis do all they can to
keep him in his seat, but Butler, by a demoniacal
grin and prickng can get him up at any time so
hot and out Of patience that his words fail aim
he founders about, and finally effects nothing.
One day he compelled Evats to sit down while he,
himself, replied 10 Butler, which he did badly.
Mr.. Stanbery is not practical talker-his voice
is musical, but his elOcution is not thorough and
the latter part OF every sentence is drowned. He
is evidently thorn and an embarrss sment to his
two colleagues for the other two, GrOesbeck
and Nelson, and lay figures merely. Stanbery is
