In ENGLAND, the excitement of the con-
test between the People and the Peers is
said to be increasing If things come to a
practical issue, and the English Liberals
want help to lay monarchy on the shelf, and
retire the "Peers' from business, let them
send word to America. A few Fenian regi-
ments will soon arrange things conclusiycly.

THE OLD MILITARY SPIRIT is reviving and
companies and regiments of volunteers are
organizing in all the cities. From the stand
point of Peace, this is cause for regret. This
country needs no preparation for war, and
will probably never have real justification
for engaging in one.

A PAPER down the State thinks patriot-
ism has died out in Delaware because peo-
pie are no longer such fools as to stand in
the sweltering heat and listen to the bonn
bastic buncnmbe of some local celebrity. We
wish we had no better reason for fearing thai
patriotism, if not dead, very sickly amongst
many of our people. That patriotism is deat
in Delaware we deny in toto, but that the Re
publicans have almost a monopoly of itw'
| rnnrct to helieYe.

THE REP UBLICAN YRIJlii'l IN
VIRGINIA

We have already noticed the fact that
there was no such thing as u Democratic
Party in Virginia, at the recent election.
There was nothing IN the world to prevent
such an organization from existing, except
the fact that no considerable number Of pco-
pie were in favor OF it. The contest lay be
tween the candidates of two Republican
conventions. One claimed 10 be the .'regu-
lar ticket, and the other The conservative.
The latter succeeded
As between the Two, il is hard for North
ern Republican to make choice. Our be-
lief is that the Wells ticket was the regular
nomination Of the party, but we strongly in
cline to think that the Walker ticket present
cd the more fiji and more honest men. So far
as principles were concerned, there was, to
outward observation, little appreciabie differ
ence. Both parties utterly repudiatcd and
disavowed the doctrines heretofore held by
the so-eallcd Democratic Party. Both APP
proved Of universal suffrage and desired to
make it secure by The ratification Of the FIJI
teenth Amendment. The Conservatives in
deed, went quite as far as the Radicals. te

HOW QUE OPPONENTS MA J
GET COLURED VOTES.


The Virginia election proves, among other
things, that q party containing the bulk oil
the Southern whites may get portion OF
the colored vote, on one condition-that II
shows itself to be earnestly in favor oil
universal suffrage. No party, opposed to
the Republicans, in any other of the South
ern elections, have ever given such good
evidence of their honesty in this matter as
did the Walker men in Virginia. They
approved the Fifteenth Amendment, which
will clinch universal suffrage, and they
nominated colored men for office; they did
not take Southern ex-rebels for candidates,
but chose Northern Republicans or staunch
Virginia Unionists. Having done this, we
do not wonder that many colored men gave
them their votes.
But in every State where the c0lored
citizens are numerous, any party which
expects to have their support must do al
least as much to win it as the Walker or
ganization. Holding the bottle in the hand
will not answer-they must swallow the
DOSE Shaking hands in alager beer saloon
as Mr.. Ponder did with Abe Harmon, won
do; we must have something more substan
# tial. This question, then, comes home t
c the opponents of Republcanism in all tn
y States-How much justice will you do I
c the colored citizens? VIII you agree I
i their right of suflrage2 viii you ratiiy til
I 10Th Amendment, and secure that right
), viii you, in counties where they have th
T majority, nominate them for Office? Wi
IS you lay aside entirely, the name "Dem'
lie cratic" which, from its old slavery associ'
r tions, they have justly learned to dislike?
is Such steps as these saved from defe'
those who year ago opposed Republican
% ism, in Virginia. Anything less, offered
p our opponents, will be of no possible ava
. in any Border or Southern State.

One ofthe first practical illustrations of the
working of the recent circular of Indian
Commissioner Parker, defining the jurisdic-
ton of the civil management of Indian affairs
has Just occurred in Nebraska. Some of the
Pawnees had left their reservation for roy
ing incursion igto the western part of the
State, during which they murdered white
man and threw his body in the Platte, tying
ii down to a stake, SO that II was some time
before ii was discovered The facts were in
due time reported to Superintendent Janney,
of the Northern SUPPLEMENTARY, who went
up to the reservation and made 4 demand for
the delivery of the parties gu lily of the muir
der. The Indians at first refused to comply
| whercupon they were notified that their an,
| nuities would be withheld until they did
comply. The indians then sent word that
the party that committed the outrage wa:
still out, and they could rot produce thu
murdercrs but they were again noiifiet
that no annuities would be paid until thu
men were delivered up. In few days thu
Indians appeared. and delivered into TIN
hands of the civil authorities six Of the sus
pecled men, who were handed over for civi
trial The superintendent having the annui
ties on hand, Immediately carried out his in
s,ructions by distributing the annuities I
the tribe. The Indians thus had an ilustra
ton of good faith which will probably nc
he lost uDOn them.
