This, then, is the enforcement of the
neutrality laws that the Republican
papers are Growing over! Splendid
achievement They had much better
keep quiet, for the conduct of the Gov
ernment in this business is not of a
character to bear inspection. For weeks,
and We might say months, the work OF
violating our neutrality laws has been
going on as openly as broad day light,
and the clicking of telegraph instru'
ments could make it; and the dispatches
from Cuba have made almost daily
mention of the landing of tilibusters
and war material on the lsland-all re-
eruited from the United States. Why
did not the administration enforce the
neutrality laws when the sanctity OF
our ports was first vielatedf Were not
those laws just as sacred then as now
and was not the duty of enforcement
Just as imperative first as last J Ger

that delay and double. dealing with the
Cuban leaders in this country would
| finally end in the annexation OF Cuba
to the United States in which event
the expenditure of national honor in
bringing itabout would be small affair
This is the long and short of it. The
government saw proper to back down
from its Cuban position, and "enforce
the neutrality laws" because it believed
the revolution would fail, and that then

No other public matter has shown the
impress Of Grants mediocrity and sell

plaud it, the act shows to what desper-
ate straits they are driven to defend the
"Second Washington" from the shafts
of his critics.

Exit Carpei-Bng.

Since the day when Saint PATRICK
"oavs tho snakes and frogs twist, ana
hanisbed all thin varmint" out OF Ire
land there has not been such ON exodus
of noxious creatures from any country
as that of the noble army of carpet-Dag-
gers now taking welcome bat unceIe-
monious departure from Virginia
| Gathering like eagles, they thought TO
banquet on virginia's carcass. But the
dry bones live again, and in such Vigor
as to "fright the souls Of fearful adver'
saries" into mounting steeds (uot
"barbed," and hardly borrowed honest
ly,) or any other beast or vehicle that
promises speedy transportation, and are
betaking themselves to other aud more
con genial climes.
No more carpet Dagger for Virginia
No more political adventurers rioting
in her su bstance! No more gathering
of Northern scum upon the surface of
her society! No more malignant ia
natics, melting her ignorant negroes to
violence, rapine and murder! No more
interloping vagabonds thursting their
half-starved anatomies into her public
places and pilfering there the means with
which to exchange their filth for clean
illness, their crusts fer viands, their
penury for affiuence and all the ''looped
and windowed raggedaess" of the pro-
fessional "dead beat" for the cxternals
of gentleman, failing only to procure
his native decency and dignity! All
these and countless other offensive
effects of the carpet-baggiDg presence
are disposed of. His occupation is gone
his place is filled by another; his influ-
ence over ignorance and credulity passes
away like tale that is told; merit be-
comes once more the standard of prefer
ment; right wins it own; GoD is just;
the rule of the carpet-bag is over.
Spain cherishes the legend Of "the last

Excessive Loyalty,

The Rerie,c, of Washington, Pennsyl-
vauia, publishes q detailed account Of
truly "loyap transaction with re
gard to the Radical Senatorial nomina-
tion for the District composed of Wash
ington and Beaver counties. 1t seems
that according to rule and right Wash
ington county, alternating with Beav-
er, shOnld this year have the Senator.
Acting under this notion the late Radi.
cal Convention in the former county in-
structed their delegates to the Senator
ial conference to support Mr. NC
CRACIEN of Washington for the nom
nation, and had they all done so he
would have been nominated, as the
Washington county "loyal" vote over
balances that of Beaver.
But Mr.. MCCRACKEN was not connect
ed with the legislative ring" his oppo-
nent, RUTAN, of Beaver, boasts that
honorable connection. The latter's
confederates, GEORGE V. LAWRENCE,
JOHN COYODE and MACKEY, the State
Treasurer, met with the Conferees at
Pittsburgh, on the 29th ult., for the pur,
pose of buying MCCRACKEN off the
track. He is authority for the state
ment that these eminent rogues offered
him sums advancing from few hundred
to eighty-five hundred dollars, as well
as a fat official position, if he would
give way to RUTAN. MCCRACKEN did
not happen to be purchaseable, so the
emissaries of the ring" turned their
attention in another direction and
finally bought one of the Washington
county conferecS outright. They paid
him three thousand dollars; he disre-
garded his instructions. RUTAN was
nominated and the eminently decent
Republicans of Washington county are
making ready to approve the operation
by sending this rotten corruptionist
back to the Pennsylvania Senate. Once
there he will compensate himself for
the extraordinary expenses of his nom
ination, by selling his votes, robbng
the Treasury and swindllng the people
There is no other theory on which thi:
villainously rotten transaction can be
explained.
In that remorseless gang OF public
plunderers which with GEARY at it,
head and every legislative dem
agogue who can howl "rebeH a
the crossroads at its tail, ha
permeated the whole system of Pennsyl
vania legislation with pollution anC
corruption, there seems to be pertec
organization and association. Banded
together for public robbery, they act 70
mutual defence and protection. RUTA'
! being in danger, CovoDE, LAWRENCE

, assistance. Cash which other and hon
ester men earned, carries him through
His services are again secured for tn
"ring," provided the people ratify tn
E transaction. At the proper time tn
stumps of the District will be made vo
. cal with the "loyal" argument, "Cop
perhead, Buttsrnut, Traitor" Popula
passion will be aroused, possibly thi
deep villainy will be tacitly acquiesce'
in, and we will have bon-hres and sa
lutes over another "moral Appomat

/ cency came out victorious.
