The Democracy.

The Richmond Wing is very severe upon
the Northern Democrats for their cover
dice and selishness. 1t charges that while
they prate great Geal of their interest in
the South, they really do not care enough
to make the least self-denial The Wing says:
They do not say to US, you fought our
battle for four years-fought it until you
could fight it no longer. and were compelled
to surrender your armies in the ield-and
now you are entitled to repose; surrender
the last garrison you effectually mold and
address yourselves to the necessary work of
recuperation. No they do not say this, or
anything like it. On the contrary, they
meanly appeal to a crushed, bleeding and
broken hearted people 20 sacrifice the last
feeble remnants of their political and social
existence, in order that they (the Northern
Democracy may be saved from the opera
tons of the Fifteenth Amendment. No
thing more shameful has occurred in these
| days of degeneracy and profigacy
If the conduct of the Northern Democra-
cy, says the Newark Courier, is shameful,
the conduct of the Southren.people has been
uuwlse. Nothing so foolish has ever occur
red IN history as the political union since
the wal, of the Confederate leaders with the
dlsloyal Democracy. If the Confederate
leaders had done what good sense and lood
policy dictated, that is, joined hands with
the Republicans, reconstruction would have
been accomplished in six months. The po-
litical contest of the last four years is due to
the seltishness of the Mortimer Democracy
and the folly of the South in placing any
confidence in the Democratic leaders.

disposition to check dishonest Legislation, he
has brought down upon himself large wing

Since he has placed himself in front of the

rely mainly upon Republican support to sus-
tain him ia his efforts TO stop the system of
corruption aud plunder 80 long carried on.

tinction of which they may be justly proud
Some sixteen States have provided by
legislation for the helpless children of our
fallen defenders. bat in only three or four
have the acts been carried into practical ex-
ecntion. 1t is hard to reslizs this. and sad
to think of it, but it is the fact, and one
that cannot be too often or too strongly rac-
sented- The great State of &sz York. for
instance, has done absolutely nothing.

THE ALABAMA QUESTION. English
press, conservative and liberal, reject with
great acerbity, the rule of damages suggest
ed by Mr.. Summer for the settlement of the
Alabama claims; hut still they appreciate
the danger, Of leaving the question open,
with the Alabama as a precedent. to be ap
piled to British commerce whenever occa
sion offers. 1t is more 10 the interest of
England to have the question settled
promptly than of the United States. The
claims will not abate a jet by the lapse of
time, and the fitting out of rebel priyateers
in English ports, adopted as precedent to
be applied to England whenever she is en-
broiled in foreign war, will be "a perpetual
guaranty for the good behavior of that
power.

A Senatorial Missionary.

The Cincinnati Times, in short editori-
al on ''Senator Sprague as Missionary"
says he has furnished key to the mystery
of his speeches He is neither drunk nor
crazy, as he has been profanely charged with
being, but he is inspired. We have his
own Senatorial word for it that he is ''the
mere instrument of Divine Providence to
set US glorious work of progress and re-
FORM" Everybody knows, says the Times,
that he was from Providence, but nobody
suspected before that he was from Diruae
Providence. If he is preternaturally en-
dowed, he ought TO be listened to with re
spect. Probably Senator Sumner has been
slow to discvoer the missionary character of
Mr.. Sprague, from the fact that one of his
first utterances was, that this country owed
its prosperity in chief degree to the insti-
tuition of slavery. Naturally enough the
Massachusetts, Senator would think that no
such messages as this came from above. 1t
will be consolation to Mr. Abbott and Mr..
Nye, whom Mr. Sprague spok. of respect
lively as mastiff and a puppy, to know not
only. as Mr.. Sprague declared, that these
were words of soberness and truth, but
also that they were of semi-divine origin,
So, too, the same reflection may console the
people in the galleries who were tod, on
former occasion, that they were idiotic, with
the intimation added that their e good clothes
were the best part of them. We are sur
prised that Senator Sprague, entertaining
no yuhtc ha hos
christened his extraordinary financial scheme
which is to afford infinite relief to finite
thing, as The Celestial Bank of Discount
School seform is the order of the day in
in Austria and South Germany generally
Everywhere the extreme party OF the Cath
olic Church opposes reform. A spirited
scene took place recently in the Bavarian
chambers, when the prime minister, in dis
cussing the question of reform, launched out
boldly against the Pope. Bavaria is Cath
olic kingdom. A cable dispatch from Wen
na informs us that similar scene has Just
been witnessed in the Reichsrath. The de-
bate on the Primary School bill had been
exciting in the extreme, the Polish and Ty-
rolese deputies, devoted and unreasoning
churchmcn, all keen, even bitter, in their
opposition. AT the close of the debate
these deputies left in high dudgeon but the
vote was taken and the bill became law.
Thus, in spite of the church, reform goes on.
A RUMoR.-The Washington Express
says a report is going the rounds to the ef-
feet that large number of disappointed Of
fee seekers have left this city for Madrid, to
offer themselves for the Spanish throne,
vice Isabella. removed. We don't believe
word of it. The have all had enough of

or are on their way there, to look up some
