The Republican wants Georgia to be sub
mitted to mild regimen of Clayton militia, or
to be declared in rebellion against the United
States and placed under military satrap, be-
cause the Union men in that State have been
Ku-Klux ridden whatever that may bel to
remarkable degree, and that one, DIR. George
Darden, was lynched by somebody. Now
couldn't Union man be ridden by a Ku-Klux
without its becoming necessary to declare
State in rebellion therefor? And is a State in
rebellion because Ku-Klux INDUCES in the
extravagant amusement of riding Union
man? Why not say that Louisiana is in re-
bellion because "rebels" ride good Union We
locipedes? We don't know why Ku-Klux is
addicted to ambulatory exercise, or why it
selects Union men as the agencies of its am
bulation but how these facts constitute re-
bellion against the United States, any more
than against the Mikado, we fail to perceive.
Neither can we see how the lynching of DIR.
Darden in Georgia is war against the
United States, any more than the lynch
ing of half dozen men In In
diana is war against the United States.

keen optics which I" see things that are
not to be seem" To be sure the word "re-
bellion" has a definite meaning according to
the English dictionaries but English die
tionaries are no sort of authority in the Radi-
cal vocabulary. According to that authority
rebellion consists in a persistent refusal to
vote the Radical ticket, and "rebel means
man who is so obdurate as not to recog-
nize the sacramental claims of "Southern
loyalists to do all the governing. The
general deduction from these definitions
is that Radical governors have right to sup
press such "rebellions and to punish such
'rebels," by proclaiming martial law ad Hbi-
t,un, and dispensing with the civil law at will,
and that the United States Congress has the
right to abolish State governments and estab-
lish military despotisms wherever "Union
men" complain that they are ridden by Ku-
Kluxes.

The N. Y. Tribune says that Southern
loyalists will get nineteen-twentieths of the
Southern offices. and that they viii get them
because of the belief that they are fit for
them. Considering the popular view of the
conduct and duties Of federal ofice-hold-
ers, the belief that Southern loyalists" are
fit for them is quite natural and proper. But
then how is Grant going to carry out his de-
sign of having the revenue honestly collected
and strictly accounted for? He must give
up either the Southern loyalists or his
plan.

Somebody in Buffalo, New York, has pre-
scented the new President with pair of boots
which, according to Washington gossip, he
pronounces the "most deliberately finished "
he has ever seen. The explicitness and
definiteness of this opinion are almost start
ling. What should Grant know about the art
of boot-making? There has been nothing in
his training and his experience to qualify
himI FLOR critical judgment on a boot, any
more than there has been to fit him
for a ready and clear comprehension of the
proper duties and instrumentalities of states
manship. If he is learned and expert in re-
gard to either, his proficiency must come
from intuition; and as the country is deeply
interested in ascertaining whether he brings
this invaluable faculty with him to the dis
charge of his executive functions, it is to be
hoped that commission of boot-makers,
composed of the most experienced and artistic
in the trade, will diligently inquire into this
matter and let the people know if it be true
that the boots referred to are finished to
the point of superlative elaboration which is
so distinctly and roundly imputed to them
by the new President. If they prove to
be all his eloquent praise has painted
them, the country may breathe more freely.
They may hope that the same intuition which
enabled him to pierce the mysteries of boot
craft will enable him to thread the labyrinths
of statecraft. In another aspect this presenta-
tion Of pair of boots, and President Grants
hearty appreciation of the gift, are suggestive.
There is bound to be, openly or covertly,
some kicking between Grant and Congress
before they shall have done with each other.
Grant must either be kicked into implicit &C
quiescence with Congress. or Congress must
be kicked into implicit acquiescence with
Grant. No doubt. it will not be through his
default if the latter alternative is not the re-
suit Now may not these "most deliberately
finished" boots over which the most phleg-
matte of presidents grows positively enthusi-
astic, be symbolic of preparations on foot by
Grant for ultimately kicking Congress. and
for finishing the job most deliberately after it
is once commenced?

Senator Sumner says that he is not going
to make belligerent speech on the Alabama
claims. That material and bellicose being
consents to mitigate his truculency, and to
reassure the trembling and covering British
lion by the utterance of pacific sentiments.
England will breathe more freely when this
intelligence is received, and congratulate her.

has been turned upon the people of the

In the debate in the Senate on the tenure
ofofice act, Mr.. Fessenden declared that he
had always been opposed to it; and that he
had voted against impeaching President John
son for an alleged violation of it; and he
congratulated his Radical colleagues that
they were adopting his view of the question
Mr.. Fessenden knows that the law was con-
trived, in the first place, as a partisan expe-
dent, and he takes this method of intimating
his conviction of that fact.

1t is reported that Grant and washburnt

1t is reported that Grant and Washburne
have quarreled. The division of the spoils
was too much even for the friendship of these
two loving beings. The President has only
about $4,000 offices at command, and so
many relatives and old personal friends, that
really they viii scarcely go round So Wash
burne succeeded only in getting the French
mission for himself, and the Office of second
secretary for his brother-in-law, Mr.. Moore,
and the collectorship at Portland for his
brother Israel. "And what is this for one that
reaps not harvest of his youthful joy ?"-the
youthful JOY Of the house of washburne
being a provision Of unlimited Office for all
the members and relations of that noble and
patriotic family.

A remarkable circumstance signalizes the
contemporary history of the English church,
and suggests the tendency of English
thought to dissolution of the bonds which
have united the church and the state. The
Metropolitan of the Anglican diocese in South
Africa, after communicating Cobase and de-
posing him from Office, has consecrated an.
other bishop for the diocese. This is said to
be the first instance of the appointment of a
bishop within the British dominions by eccle-
siastical instead of secular authority. Many
churchmen have taken the alarm and have
petitioned the government not to recognize
the new bishop.

General Longstreet is frequently spoken of
by the Radical papers as 'rebel" who
accepted the situation. The New York World
says that many another would cheerfully
accept similar situations, meaning the situa-
ton of surveyor of the port of New Orleans;

The Cuban Junta OF New York have

The President has signed the so-called pub
lie credit bill, which is, in reality, an act to
express the opinion of Congress on question
over which the Congress that passed it has no
control whatever. 1t is good joke for Con-
gress to talk about strengthening the credit of
the country when they have done all that men
could do to bring it into discredit.

The Republican rushes to the defense of
Congress for consideringa bill to reduce taxes

almost destroyed the ship building interest,
and threw that industry into the hands of the

FATAL ACCIDENT.-One of the most
painful accidents which it has been our
duty to record for long time, occurred
at the Crescent Iron Works yesterday
afternoon, between two and three
o'clock, by which young man named
John H. Campbell lost his life.
1t appears that Mr.. Campbell, who
was employed as a catcher in the above
Works, assembled pair of steps above
the rolls, for the purpose of getting a
drink of water from a small spout which
is constantly running to keep the rolls
cool, and in coming down, he lost his
step and fell in the rolls below, which
we're revolving with frightful velocity,
ready to engulf the unfortunate victim
within their iron jaws. Before his
body had been entirely drawn in be.
tween the rolls he was, by the superhu-
man efforts of his his fellow workmen,
extricated, when he was carried to his
boarding house, on Clay street. DR..
Baguley was sent for, and upon exam
ination it was found that he was horri-
bly, mutilated about the abdomen, and
his intestines were protruding in a
shocking manner. The wounded man
lived until nearly six o'clock last even
ing, when death put an end to his suf-
fering.
