oNE VERY UNFORTUNATE consequence of the
entire lack of any principles for the Democ-
racy to advocate, is the necessity which they
seem to find of devolirg their time to per
sonal abuse. Their great target is the Pres
ident, aud their attacks upon him are un,
worthy of decent journalism. In Pcnnsyl-
vania, they add to their efforts a snlilar war
on Governor Geary. This is IL bad = a,e Of
affairs. The days of their asslrts upon
"niggers" seem not TO have been approved

MIR. Vincent Colyer, the Agent of the u.
5. Indian Commission, who las just returned
to Lcavenwo-th, Kansas, from ;.n extended
tour among the tribes, gives an interesting
account of the Moqui Indians. This tribe
OF Pucblos, numbering about 5000, he SAYS
they are industrious intelligent and elf-sup-
porting. They have seen but few white
men, being rarely visited by Americans.
Their villages are about 100 miles west Of
Fort Wingate, and are easily approached by
good trail They live in stone houses
neatly plastered, from one to three stories
high, built on the top of high rocky bluffs,
and capable of easy defence against attacks.
They manufacture pottery, woollen blankets
and dresses, raise corn, beans, peaches, &c,
and have large fiocks of goats and sheep.
They received us with cheers and hospitality
entertained us and led our animals. They
ask for teachers and schools, and tools with
which to till the soil, for which they are
willing to pay in corn, wool, &c. They are
in few days walk Of Prescott, Arizona,
where the people are now paying eighteen
dollars in gold the sack for flour.
Mr.. Colyer thinks that lasting peace can
now be arranged with the Apaches, and
states that the recent depredations on the
Plains were committed by remnants of tribes
the Cneyennes aud Arapahoes, defeated by
Sheridan and Custer last winter, having
gone to their reservations. The "F-iends,"
according to Mr. Colyer's report, are hard
at work. and will soon establish better
state of affairs

Napoleon and Rochefort.

NJ. Henri Rochefort, editor Of a
Paris journal named Lanterne-an
an excellent specimen of the l,tcus
non luccnio in transatlantic jour
nalism-i'as completely failed in
his cndeavors to rank as a French
political martyr. Napoleon has cx-
tinguished him, in his own peculiar
style and in IL manner just suited
to the case of Rochcfort. The pen
and ink parodist of rcvolution, who
has been for some time past in exile
in Belgium, set out from Brussels
the other day for France. On reach
ing the frontier he was arrested by
the police. This was perfect
"Godscnd" to Rnchcfort, who i'm
mcdiately commenced to sting in
anticipation, like QUARTER Latin
flea, when, behold. the Emperor
comes out on him with coup dtat
i'll the shape Of telegram direc-
ting his release and accompanied
by a "safe conduct paper, endors-
by the imperial sign manual, under
which he j"urneyed to Paris, where
he had heen nominated for the
Legislature and scrcnaded by his
friends without any interference on
the part of the police.
People have been accustomed to
read and speak i good deul of the
Malakof and Magenta and Solicr-
mo, tho assault on the tower of the
Russian stronghold demonstrating
that no impcdiment is too high or
difficult for the military genius of
France when inspired by Bonua-
lartc, while the attack-fnr it is al
attack when applied to such man
ON R''ch"t"rt proves that no event
can be SO trilling or insignificant as
to escape the careful attention of
Napoleon the Third in the pursu-
ancc Of his vast and peculiar sys
tenn of rule. During the legal ar
rangcments for the "State trials"
and prosecution of the late great
Irish agitator and his associates in
Dublin, some years since q very
tussy "conspirator" (Mr. Tom Steclc)
bored the law officers Of the Crown
vastly and almost daily with ques
tions relative to his case. The At
torney Genera! (Mr. Cusac Smith),
becoming impatient, one day said
to him ;---"Mr. Steele, l cannot re-
ply to your questions, and if you
ask another one I will omit your
name from the indictment and you
won't be tried ut all. either as con-
spirator or rebel" This threat ST.
lcnced Tom, just as Napoleon now
.silences Henri. Such u mode of
action results from the universal
communism of great minds in con-
tempt for professional politicians

Anoher Atlantic Cable.

The more electric cables across
the Atlantic the better. Tie quick
er and more reliable the communi-
cation between Europe and Amer.
lea the greater will be the advance
ir the civilization cf both hcn.is-
pheres. Therefore we are glad to
sec that the belgian government
gives its adhesion to the scheme of
laying new Atlantic cable from
Belgium to some point, yet to lie
selected, upon the American coast,
from Maine to Georgia. We need
telegraph line having IL terminus
up III our own soil. We need it in
order that We may be in some ex-
tent independent Of foreign coun-
tries III the receipt Of important
news. The increase Of telegraphic
communication with Europe will
increase the business, just as great
or facilities in tho postal service
and the railroads have multiplied
the transport Of lettors aud tho
proportion of travel. Tho French
cable has not interfered To any sen.
siole degree with tho busines Of
the British lines from Ireland. All;
the new lines will make trade for
themselves. ..:.
Now that we have secured fair
telcgraphic intercourse across the
Atlantic, the next thing to bo done
is to get u submarine cable under
the Pacific. to put US il Immediate
communication with: Asia and the
great empires OF China aud Japan.
This eau be done to a great extent
without going out OF our own ter.
ritory, by using the chain of the
Aleutain Islunds for tho overland
portion of tho line, and tukipg our
submarine points OF connections
there. A Pacific cable is there
quite practicable. We need not
urge its advantages, but can onlyl
hope that it will not be long before |
such an enterprise will be pnderta-
ken.--HcraM t,.,, & '.' }

LETTER FROM FATHER HYAc1Srup.

LETTER FROM FATHER HYAcINTHR.
The following is'thc substance Of
the letter written by Father IIya-
cin:he to the "Evangelical Alliance"
held in New York, on Thursday:
Father Hyacinthc said that he
felt gratitied ut the honor shown
his discourses iii Paris by their re-
publication in English. lie would
have been glad to have bad them
more worthy; but such a. they
were, he committed them to tho
world. He added, that be presen-
ted them to America and those
rotcstant churches Of which his
talented translator was one Of the
heads. He was proud of being q
Frenchman, and hoped France
would soon initiate the country
which she had done so much t.
libcrate during the revolution. lie
said he continued faithful. to tho
Catholic Church. II he had en-
tered IL protest against her usurpa-
tions, one could judge of his love
by tho bitterness of his lamenta-
tions. However he was none the
less sensible to the sy,npathies Of
the churches of other faiths in the
stand he had taken. lie did not
think that churches separated from
the Catholic communion, are be-
yond the pale of the Holy Ghost,
Whatever may divide us now, we
will be united in the space Of time,
and oil live i'll hopes of tho same
eternity and love of the same God.
We arc all living in common for
the great Church IN the future. Men
had laughed his ideas to scorn, but
that he had expected: After ex-
pressing himself further, he con-
cluded by saying that he looked
forward to one God, ono faith, one
baptism, and one shepherd, and
signed himself "Brother uya-
cinthe."

The Late Elections and their Teachings

The elections in Texas and Missis-
sippi are not yet held: In, these oil
the indications, arc Of the SUCCESS of
the Conservative parties in these
States. Radicalism everywhere, and
especially in those CommonwcaIths
Of the South, has been the symbol of
misrnle and oppression. The result is
tho f'jrnbinatidn Of ail true men who
are In favor of good government on
ehalf Of some degree of protection
for life, liberty and property.
re- Tho bet+ee class Of tho Republicans
in The South cannot finget the fact
that they are citisens, and have inter.
ests ut stake, and hcnce the develop.
ments for q ruio under which there
can DO safety Snd prosperity:
The ,reactlph ipS tho! South has, of
necessity, been great. 1t could not DO
otherwise. We do not doabt, thore.
fore, that both Texas and Mississippi
win follow tho lead Of Tennessee end
Virginia, and place themselves side by
side in support of anti. Radicalism.
AID this.seems to be not only tho
growing sentiment, but conviction Of
the whole country. Tis is illustrated
by the recent eleatian at tho North.
In New York, ut the last election,
the Republicans had o majority of two
in the se1ate and ofttwenty-four in
the Houss. thus having the control of
the Legislature on joiut ballot by
-twsnty1a;k votes.
The Tribune comedies that the posi-
tton Of things is feversed, and that the,
