The "Third PARTY"

The New York Herald, in an elabo-
rate leader. scouts the idea of third
party movement. thinks there is con-
siderable fermentation going on, but all
opposition to Grant must concentrate
in the Democratic organization or else
be FILTERED away with foolish wasting
of breath and spending Of money.

The Case in q Nutshell.

The Lynchburg Republican puts the
whole history and philosophy of recon.
struction into this little nutshell:
Nanny, make Billy behave himself
Every time hit him on the head with
my hammer he hollers.
This Southern youth, Billy, is a very
vicious and unruly chap. For the last
four years his head has been often and
repeatedly tapped with the Radical
hammer, and still he persists in holler-
ing.

More Radicals in MississiDpi.

Some excitement has been created at
Columbus, Mississippi, by the appear
ance there of four immense insects, sup
posed to be Egyptian locusts. They
were three times as large as the com
mon locusts. with large, black eyes, legs
of great strength, teatheIed like q
Shanghai chicken, tails similarly adorn-
ed, and hard shell covering. The like
of them was never seen before by the
oldest inhabitant.

If the Posi- was able to refute what
we have said in regard to the revolu-

would probably do so instead of max

that we are opposed to disturbing any
of the legislation Of the past few years.

Emigration.

There seems to be spirit of emigra-
ton at work in this county, and quite a
number of families are preparing to
move--some to Kansas, and others to
Texas. Most of them are small farmers,
who desire to go where lands may be
more readily obtained.

The Press and Herald,

Attention is directed to a notice in

know that it is receiving-what it is
fairly entitled to-a large custom both

Politics in California.

According to the annexed paragraph
from the San Francisco Herald, the late
election in California was complete af-
fair:
The smoke of the recent conflict has
scarcely cleared away sufficiently to
permit an accurate review of the results
or satisfactory analysis of their causes.
The State election returns show an al
most unprecedented victory for the
Democratic party. 1t is positive wave.
sweeping over the whole coast. and
leaving the Radical party stranded and
shattered. so that they can never again
venture into the sea Of politics in this
State. That is one of the most observ-
able features of the result. that the Rad
ical party is broken into small frag-
ments. In the city of San Francisco it
did not emerge once from its shell or
show its head. One wing voted the
Democratic ticket, and of the other. vast
numbers stayed away from the polls.
X X X 1t X
The party cannot, in many years, re-
cover snch discipline as will make it ef-
fective without some overpoweriag
blunder on the part of its adversaries.
1t has fought its last battle in California
for many year to come; nor will it
ever regain sure foothold until it shall
have changed its name and principles.

like the following in the Nashville Ban

every one connected with that paper
and have read with something like re-
greet articles which have appeared from
time to time in its columns since the
late election. The Banner says, in re-
cent issue:
a step forward is undoubtedly me-
cessary. And while we are earnest for
this large advance, we are far from sug-
gesting that the highroad must be aban-
doned or our car of progress rushed for
ward with precipitate fury. And while
we are for progress we are not propos-
ing a total abandonment of old creeds,
nor of shelving those sage councillors
who never seek the office. aud whom the
Office always seeks in times of doubt
and perplexity."
Our view precisely-what we have
been saying all the time. Let the office
seek the man-hell not be hard to find.
if sought for in the right direction. We
have strong hopes of the Banner yet /;
and even of the Press and Times. should
the latter endure long enough to attain
to the years of wise and wholesome
discretion. We don't nigh believe the
insinuation thrown out by some of the
short-horn stock" that the Banner was
meditating new departure with pros
pective landing at the head of the Re.
publican party of the State. We guess
after the Senatorial election is disposed
of, which happily must occur in the ear
ly part of the session, we shall all be
found plodding our toilsome and weary
way together again. harmonious and in
accord in regard to all essential issues.
Spain and the United States.
The activity in our navy yards and
national docks, in the re-ftting of ves-
sells and other unusual movements, have
led to the conclusion that trouble of a
serious character between Spain and
the United States was imminent. grow
ing out of the Cuban instruction ard
the figuring of Minister Sickles at Ma
drid. Commenting upon the subject,
the London Spectator, looking from an
unbiased standpoint, says war between
the two countries for the causes alleged
seems "like moral impossibility. but
is universally believed in Spain. The
war enthusiasm there is gathering fast.
Minister Sickles' proposal is inconsis-
tent with precedent and with the con-
duct of the United States in 1851
What with Spanish pride and Ameri-
can sympathies the situation is very
critical. 1t is difficult to believe that
Spain, with divided people, bank
rupt treasury, one colony in revolt, 9TH
ers to lose, and nothing to win, can Sc
riously contemplate war with one of the
greatest powers on earth" When Con-
gress meets in December we shall prob
ably have something definite in regard
to the Cuban war. That Spain will Ill
timately lose Cuba very few are dispos-
ed to doubt. 1t is only a question of
time, and not very long time at that
