fully expedite restoration on white
basis. 2& s &a
The new year, upon which we have
just entered, bids fair to become of
more than ordinary importance in
the history of the East Asiatic coun-
tries, In Japan; the whole form, of
government is to be altered. The
peculiar position of the Tycoon, it
seems, will be abolished, and the Mi
kado will henceforth leave his eremitic
isolation, and personally take notice,
not only Of ecclesiastical, but of
mundane affairs. A Council of Dali
mois will assist him in the admins
tration Of the country. Two new
ports were to be opened on the first
of January, two others on the first
of April; among these four are the
two most important cities of the EN-
pire-Yedo and Osaca. In China,
the time has arrived when the cele-
brated treaty of 1858, from which
dates the intercommunion between
the Christian nations and the Chinese
Government, will have to be revised.
1t is a remarkable sign, that the
Chinese Government should desire
the United States, as its commission
er, in conducting the important ne
gotiations relative 10 this revision.
The RADICALS AND THE SOUTHERN
STATES. Washington CORES.
pondent of the Worcester (Mass.)
Spy, admitting in the fullest extent
the destitution, suffering and chaotic
condition of the Southern States,
complains bitterly of the apathy of
the Republicans on the subject.
Pressing as are the political necessi-
ties of the party in the South. the
Spy says it seems almost impossible
to raise money enough to carry on
the campaign, and it adds:
The Republican party, to insure
success, to compel and maintain
peace, must have the ten unrepre-
sented States reconstructed and
brought back in time to vote for
their candidate next November.
Failing in this, the country may as
well squarely look at the issue which
then sternly arises in its path-that
of meeting an internecine struggle
consequent upon the refusal to count
the vote of the Southern Democracy,
which will be surely cast for the
partys nominee, whoever it may be.
Of course, the fortieth Congress will
count the vote Of no State which is
not represented.
On this the New York Times (Rep.)
remarks:
This programme is not inviting.
The radicals are determined, it seems,
not to admit the ten Southern States,
unless they are SO reconstructed as to
secure their votes for the radical can
didate; and if they are not re-admit-
ted, Congress will not count their
electoral votes at all, as they will GER
tainly be cast for the Democratic
nominee. This struggle has become
exclusively one for party success, and
1t is openly avowel that measures will
be resorted to for the sake Of victory,
which may plunge tue country afresh
into civil war. There certainly is
virtue and strength enough in the
people to save the country from such
peril.

What lesson it would be to the young

temperance men make it their business to
inquire into these rumors of Gen. Grants

perance. Can a man who has this appetite
in his blood and who drinks his wine dali

at Lancaster, Pa. on the nth of July. The de-
ceased was cut down by the reaper, Death, in
the prime of his manhood, and in the full tide of
his usefulness. AS pulpit orator, Mr.. .Hurn
had few if any superiors, in the denomination to
which he belonged. He was close student, and
his persevering habits of study trenched upon his
physical powers to very great extent. His style
Of oratory was fervid and impassioned, requiring
the exertion of much physical force. His fame
had attracted the attention of the largest and
wealthiest congregations within the bounds of
the Conference several of them vieing with each
other in their efforts to secure his services in their
respective pulpits. In the social circle he was a
genial and pleasant companion, and he has left
behind him many warm and sorrowing friends
They should take comfort In the reflection how
ever, that he has gone from '' labor to reward !"

The Republican papers in Delaware
seem to be perplexed. over the course of
their whilom coadjutor, the Delaware Jour
nal and Statesman. 1t has not run up
the Gag of Grant and Colfax at its mast
head, since the nomination, and its Re
publican contemporaries appear to take it
much to heart, and hardly know what to
make of it. Sundry feelers have been put
forth, by one and another of them, in or
der to sound the journal and Statesman
MS to its present political status, and they
seem TO be as curious upon the subject as
college Of French savans over some alb
struse principle Of science. To US it seems
plain, that the nominations of Grant and
Colfax, and probably the platform on
which they stand, are distasteful to our
contemporary, and therefore it has not
seen fit to commit itself to either. We
have also noticed, now and then, some
very sensible and judicious observations
in its columns, administering little
wholesome rebuke to the Radicals fol
their political Inconsistencies and misdeeds
and we should be gratifed to see more o.
the same sort, for it is plain that it il
needed. What our Republican contem,
poraries propose to do about it, does NO
appear, for the present; but we suppose
we shall find out, after awhile, when they
shall have cleared up the muddle, in refe
renee to the journal and Statesman, int,
which they appear to have fallen.

MOVEMENTS OF JEFFERSON DAVIS. Mr..
Jefferson Davis and family sailed from
Quebec on Saturday last for Europe. 1t
has been stated in Washington paper,
that in his coming trial at Richmond he
will appear by counsel. This may or may
not be so but we have reason to believe
that the circumstances under which Mr.
Davis sails for Europe are such as would
make it desirable to remain there with a
view of providing for his family. Unlike
many of the leading public men of this
country in civil life, Mr.. Davis is not a
lawyer. His original profession was. that
of arms. He, therefore, cannot resort to
practice at the bar, as SO many others have
done whose fortunes were wrecked during
the war. Hence other employment is ne
cessary, and the expected opportunity of a
commercial connection with house in
England for American business probably
now takes him abroad ,fia

W
OUTRAGE AND RoBBERY.--On Wednes-
day morning, the 22d instant, lamenta-
Bile affair occurred in the immediate vicin-
ity of Bel Air, Hartford county, Md. which
has shocked and greatly excited our whole
community. A most respectable young
lady, wlfo lives within about mile Of the
town, and is in the habit of walking in ev-
cry day, was waylaid and attacked by
negro man, named Isaac Moore, who for
cibly carried her some distance from the
public>road and robbed and shamefully
maltreated her. He was soon afterwards
arrested and lodged in Jail, and, being
brought before magistrate for examina-
ton, the evidence against him was conclu-
sive, and showed such deliberate and
hardened villainy, that the fury of the
crowd could no longer be restrained, and
he was carried off to the place where the
act was committed, and hung. He con-
fessed his guilt, and implicated another
negro as his accomplice, who is now in
Jail. In appears that the act was premed-
itated, and morning and evening for seve-
raj days, he was lurking about the spot
watching for bis victim, and waiting for a
favorable opportunity.
This is not the first or second offence of
the kind, of which said Moore has been
guilty in this neghborhood. In March,
1861, he was convicted in our Court, Of
rape, and, under the humane law then in
force, he was sold out of the State for a
term of ten years; but during the war he
was enabled to return, and in 1866 was
again indicted for several similar offen-
ces, but was enabled to escape by reason
of the very natural unwillingness Of the
witnesses to appear in Court. In one of
the cases he attacked party of young la
dies in carriage near Havre de Grace,
and dragged one of them off into the
woods, but she left the State rather than
testify to the facts in open Court. We al
SO learn that he has been guilty of many
like offences against persons of his own CO.
lor, until he had become terror in the
neighborhood, and persons white and
black unite in recognizing his guilt and
the justness of his punishment. .
1t is, of course, to be regretted that he
did not receive his punishment in due
course of law; but the aggravation was so
great, that the assembled multitude
thought such fend was unfit to live, and
the safety of the community appeared to
them to require that he should be sum-
marily dealt with. i
