THE SITUATION.

Republicans, on Tuesday next, you are
expected 10 60 to the polls and sustain
the candidates of the party. They rep
resent the principles and policy of Repub-
licanism. and should be supported for
that reason, if for no other.
Your State Ticket is a good one. Our
parting injunction is vote it, and vote it
as Democrat takes his whisky
straight.
In regard 10 State Senator this is the
situation. We know S. S. FIFIELD, Jr.
was the rightful nominee. He has dc
clined to run. 1t is claimed that JoHN
CONsrocK was nominated by fraud in
the ballet. Instead of declining as Mr.
FIFIELD has done, and giving the central
committee chance TO put up q regular
candidate. Mr.. CoMsTocK, in the
face ofthis grave charge, still! ciings to his
pretended nomination, and is now a can
didatc. The withdrawal of Mr.. FIFIELD
does not make the nomination of Mr.
CoNsrocK legitimate, by any means. i
lie was nominated by frsnd-and the
charge has not been successfully denied
-hc has no rights as a candidate thai
any Republican is bounI TO respect

blank ticket rather than one nominated
through fraud or bribery.

Arkansas continues to be in terri
bly, unsettled condition. Governor Clay
ton has matters all his own way, and
has inaugurated complete reign of
terror throughout the State. Each
recurring day brings fresh tale Of
outrascs committed by the raffianly
militia. The people arc flying in all
directions from the terrible infliction,
and the universal terror which prevails
is said 10 be truly heart rcnding. The
cotton fields in many districts are
totally deserted by the field hands, who
have been seduced or intimidated into
the ranks of Emperor Clayton's "grand
army" Miles upon miles of cotton re.
main unpicked in the felds-literalIy
going to ruin-which, in New York
today, would bring twenty.seven and n
half cents per pound. A Memphis
paper says that city is crowded with
refugees, and every man that arrives
can tell his particular tale of outrage,
and murder, and rapine, and plunder.
This man Clayton and his brutal mob
must checked, or the Arkansas pro.
blcm will be more difficult of solution
as the official career of the amiable
Clayton is prolonged.

The civil war which has been ra-

the year 1868 is at an end. Prince
Aidsen, the most powerful among the
Northern Daimois, who, after the re.
signation of the Tycoon, continued the
war on his own account, concluded a
capitulation with the Mikado on the
9th of November. The authority of
the young Mikado, who has recently
become of age, is now recognized
throughout the country. Henceforth
the NIikado will be the actual as we'll
as the nominal ruler. Yeddo, which
heretofore has been the residence of
tho Tycoon, will now be the residence
of the Mikado and capital of the En-
pire. Strong assurances have already
been given to the foreign treaties will
be strictly observed. Several foreign
ers, will Eli high positions under the

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE AND UNIVER-
SAL AMNEsrY-The following resnlu-
tion has been adopted by a meeting
composed Of some Of the principal clti
zens of Virginia, representing al parts
of the State:
"WhiIe the conviction of the uudcr.
sigued, and, as they believe, Of the
people of Virginia generally, remains
unchanged that the freedmen OF the
Southern States, in their present uncd
ucatcd condition, are not prepared for
the intelligent exercise of the elective
franchise and the performance Of other
duties connected with public affairs,
and are, therefore, at this time unsafe
repositories Of political power, yet, in
view Of the verdict of public opinion
in favor OF their being allowed to excr-
else the right Of suffrage as expressed
in the recent elections, the undersigned
arc prepared, and they believe the ma
jorily Of the people of Virginia arc arc
prepared to surrender their opposition
to its incorporation into their funda-
mental law as an Offering on the altar
of peace, and in the hope that union
and harmony may be restored on the
basis of universal suffrage and univer-
sal amucsly."

Tom arose with that peculiar mirth-

as much gravity as circumstances would
permit, as follows: g-.,l

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE WoRLD.-
At the annual concert of prayer for
foreign missions, was held in Park
street church on Sunday evening last,
the prominent talk was the possibility
of evangclizing the whole world in the
present century. A contrast was in
stituted between the state of things at
the commencement Of this century and
what now exists in relation to Chistian-
ity: and the conclusion was reached
that, with the present facilities for
doing the great work of evangclizing
the world, a four-fold increase Of men
and means would be sufficient to secure
the triumph of Christianity over the
entire world. That is, it was consid.
cred possible to bring every Pagan and
anti Christian nation in the world under
the pervading Influence Of Christianity
in thirty years, provided the increase
of men and means was four-fold what
are now employed, and the rate of i'm
provment which has marked the first
two.thirds of the century should contin-
ue during the last third-of the century.

Under the pretcxt of assailing newspa,,
pers which have but sympathized with
Grants desire to stop this torrent of
corruption, these senators toulIy as
sailed that representation of the tocts
for Which Grant has made himself re-
sponsible to the country. The assault
on the papers was only a cover behind
which were gathered all the force of
the consolidated rings against the pur-
poses of the President elect. In vain
did Trumbu'l, Conkliug and many 9TH
or senators try to silence the feud by
Interruptions of other measures. The
railroad senator's had their say out; de-
feuded the swindles of the past and
quoted them as the acts of the party,
and as the acts which would mark Its
future. Pomeroy says there arc twelve
more railroad bills, filled to the brlm
with subsidies, which are to be report
ed and tassed this session. These sub
sidics tic best men of the party are
bent on defeating for the party's sal
walton sake. Today the gauntlet was
thrown down by the railroad Congress
men, that no railroad grants should be
defeated but all should be added on to
the divisions which impeachment, civil
tenure. negro suffrage, financial affairs
and whiskcy thicviug arc participating
within the party.
