The Cincinnati Gazette, au extreme Radical
paper heretofore, upon a candid review of the
condition of affairs in Tennessee, acknowledges
that after full trial of the Radical system
there, it has turned out to be failure, ard will
5aye to be relaxed, in order to save the State
from ruin. 1t has come to the conclusion, that
no safe government can be set up in the South
by excluding the property holders and the
natural leaders of society," 1t appeals for a
general pohtical amnesty

The name Of the new Captain General OF
Cuba is Cabalero de Rodas He is about for
ty seven years ofage, and was, previous to the
revolution of last fall, Of but little note in
Spain. He is said to be brave, daring man,
aud distinguished himself during the late revo-
luton in Spain. 1t is expected that his policy
will be thorough" in Cuba, and that he will,

Many Republicans have avowed to us their
determination to vote for Judge Clerke' no
matter whether nominated or not. They say
he has been faithful, independent, and upright,
and they shall evnce their respect for such
qualites-far too rare on our bench-by their
ballots. We cannot say how general is this
feeling, but it becomes our Committees to In
duire and ascertain, since it would be unjust
to Mr. Benedict to require him to lead for
lorn hope unless he is to be heartily supported.
The Republicans of this City have never been
governed by party feeling in voting for Judges,
and we trust they never may be. Let the
drift of public sentiment be fairly ascertained
and respected.

We are still perplexed by The Worlds letter
from on board the Pereire containing an ex-
tract from THE TRIBUNE of the day before.
We want to know how that copy of our paper
got to sea. Was it by carrier pigeons, or spir-
ituaism, or rockets, or by a special steamer
chartered by The World for the purpose very
sensible thing to do, or did the writer fall
into our very words and even into the mistakes
of our cOmpositOrs by mysterious and indie
Unable impulse of which he can himself give
no explanation Or, finally, was he a vOyager
not from Brest but from some such port as
Hoboken or Gowanus,-no more Eat sea- in
fact than all the writers for that paper are every
day of their lives7 We know that in the mat
ter of marine messages The World is apt to be
queer There was its story of the boatrace, for in
stance, which left London half column long,
and was printed the next day-Oh, we be-
lieve some forty columns All built up in
single night out of dispatch of thousand
words

Even the Arithmetic Man has at last discov-
cred that Pendleton was defeated in Ohio, and
The World is now Quarreling with other Dem
Ocratic papers over the question, what killed
him. The Belmont organ believes that tho
greenback theory was the cause of his over
throw, while Mr.. Pendleton's organs think the
difficulty was only that the greenback theory
was not fully enough presented. If it had not
been for the PendletOn heresies says The
World, Mr.. Seymour would have been elected.
If it had not been for the Pendeton doctrines
says The Cincinnati Enquirer, Mr.. Seymour
would have been beaten ten times worse than
he was. Democracy has been offered to the
people with reputation proclaimed and with re-
pudiation concealed, and they have declined to
take it either way. 1t seems clear enough to
us that the whole trouble lies in the inability
of the Democrats to get enough votes.

formed the reverend, father that there were
only five religious sects in New-YOrk, namely,
branches of the English and Dutch churches,
Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterans. Then
he rebuked Father Hyacinthe for inconsisten-
cy. wanted to know what he meant by such
conduct and politely remarked that 1T was
to stultify oneself to say that abuses and In
falliblity can exist side by side" OF course
we don't object to having this kind of thing,
1t is very precious, we know, and not to be
got for the asking but since Father Hyacinthe
seems to have taken no part in the converse

Barnstable County. Mass, is happy county
indeed. 1t has Jail, because all counties must
have jails, but its dungeon is superhuty, an
ornament, and an evidence of its high moral
character; for, with the exception of the keeper.
there has been nobody in that dreary abode
for the last three months. Just to keep up ap-
pearances, they hired ga vagranp to go to the
Jail and live at free quarters, but even he
eloped after O residence of ten days. He
could MT stand the dreadful solitude, and felt
that he could MT make a Robinson Crusoe OF
himself even for free yictual and lodging, so
he left, and at the latest dates he had MT been
caught, the place of incarceration remaining
void of the incarcerated.

account in our ports, it provided for a change
of attitude on our part toward the combatants
in Cuba, which would enable US, instead OF
assisting further in crushing the party OF mae
pendence, to permit them the enjoyment Oh "hae-
ever strength they may derive from our neu-
trality. This policy was based on the assunp-
ton that the Spanish Minister would necessari-
ly soon demand the release of the Spanish
gunboats in accordance with law, national ana
international; and it took the form OF a Presl-
dental announcement, covering two points
First, compliance with the demand OF the
SPANISH Minister and the release OF the
gunboats; second, declaration that our
Government cannot render this aid and
comfort to the Spanish party in Cuba without
putting both parties there on terms of equality
as regards beligerent rights, and that there
fore the belligerent rights of the independence
party in Cuba must be recognized by inc
American Government. Could Spain take ex-
cepton to this pOlicy7
A short time ago Western contemporary
claimed to have received adviCes from Wash
ington which outlined substantially this same
course of conduct and there are assnredly very
strong arguments in its favor. There is no
doubt that the Presidents feelings are In ac-
cord with the sympathies entertained by the
American people for the struggling Cubans.
There is no doubt Of his unwillingness to aid
the Spanish party by permitting them to pro-
cure fleets and ornaments in our country for
crushing out the independence of Cuba
There is no doubt of his desire to concede
them bellgerent rights whenever these rights
can DO properly and justly conceded.
But Of course the carrying out of any such
programme will depend upon the appearance
of things in Cuba at the time the Spanish
Minister seeks tho release of the gunboats. If
the rebellion be then crushed. the programme
will be out of date; if the independence party
be represented by government and an army,
why will it not be feasiblef

They can't stand the play of "Formosa" in
Boston. The women will not go to see it, and
although there are dense crowds of men in at
tendance, they are not the kind of men usually
found at the Boston Theater Our excellent
contemporary, The Daily Advertiser, which
pretty fairly represents the refined theater-
goers of Boston, is extremely indignant, and
declares that "the play insults every modest
woman who sits before the foot-lights," and
that 1T soils every impressionable nature that
"comes within the influence Of the stage

The World has discovered that the late
Mr.. Andrew johnson was a man of vivid ideas"
This we can well believe. We do not deny
that he had all sorts Of ideas on all sorts Of
subjects, and that his able mind was continu-
ally in q tremendously active condition. The
difficulty of his intellect was its fecundity and
the facility with which he could change his
ideas" at a moments notice. The truth is,
there asn't room even in his capacious brain
for all his "ideas." The consequence was,
that when he made O speech, out came the
ideas" higgledy- piggledy, crowding, pushing,
jostling, to the great detriment of his elocution
and grammar. o! he had ideas enough,
only the idea" which led all the rest was his
mistaken "idea" of himself, which was es-
pecially "vivid." 1t is likely to be less vivid
a week hence, if we may believe the Associated
Press dispatch, which announces that he has
only received 40 votes on the first ballot for
United States Senator, received yesterday
only Al, cannot possibly poll over AZ, and
is therefore considered in Nashville sure of

Mr.. Francis p. Blair, senior, venerable and
able gentleman of whom Mr. Willard Fillmore
has an unbOunded admiration, is accustomed
to sell his surplus yield of vegetables and &C
cordingly was assessed the other day rs
huckster. Now, who could ever think of
the father of the two Blairs as buck
ster,-as even a political hucksterR With
greater propriety the notice of assessment
came into the hands of Mr.. Montgomery Blair !;
but nobody can swear that Mr.. Blair jr., has
sold anything publicly in the market. The up
shot of the case is that old Mr.. Blair
pays no tax at all, he being
merely an itinerant vender of produce,
and not huckster with permanent market
stand-such vendors or hucksters being the
only ones contemplated by the law of taxa
ton. The Revenue officer whose superser
viceable zeal led to the assessment might have
been in better misunderstanding the whisky
tax for example.

There is a general impression prevailing
throughout the civilized world that the Boston
Coliseum was blown down In the great gale.
This is mistake. 1t was only reduced to its
normal and appropriate condition of ruin.
But what Nature could not herself completely
do. will now be effected by the hand of man.
The Coliseum will be torn down early in No
vember. SO the newspapers announce; but be-
fore this dolorous demolition commences Gil
"more's Band" willsgive three concerts in tho
edifice. But "Gilmore's Band" has only 100
performers, and how they will be able to make
a musical noise adequate to the size of the
vast interior, passes our comprehension. Tho
great Gilmore himself is in Paris, where he has
caused to be manufactured for his own use
some kind of golden wind-instrument at
fabulous cost.
