WHAT is n EEDED.

W ~ ~ 'shS-|ASD'
W, liops to'"r.in tho struggle before
the the pcplr this hll in the great States
and in Congress next winter, says the
Washington lnitRige"ccr, holder AMI
more rcsolutc stan,l made against the in
ipuiiy Of rho party in power. The Dem
ocr1ts rl,re have not acted ms though
they Jth the truths they were tutoring
They were entirely too tame. They went
through their work MS # the differences
between themselves and their political op-
poaents were like those If old times,
when man mi lt be Democrat or a
Waig without impeachment ofhis patriot
ISM or his character. We deny utterly
that the stru gle to reform this Govern
.ment, to purify it, and crush out the ty-
rapny that atilicts the lanl, is Of such a
nature. There can be no compromise
with this evil. The times demand the
spirit Of a IIamplcn, and of the men who
fought the struggle Of l776 against the
crown. What we want now is courage
and bold championship. If men are to
come here ns mild protcstants against
this tyranny, and then hob-nob pleasant
ly and fratcrnally with the authors Of all
this calamity and foul tyranny, then they
have mistaken their vocation. The PEG.
pie want bolder utterance. In the
House Of Representatives. We specially re-
call, as answering best to the temper we
desire to see, Mr. Eldridgo. Of Wisconsin
and Mr.. Burr, Of Illinois. In the Sen
ate Mr.. spraguc has spoken most boldly
in denuuciation Of this vile tyranny; he
has spoken and acted as il he were really
in earnest. 1t is this that has done so
much to make his speeches popular We
thank him for his cxrmplc. lie address
ed himself directly to the men who sat op.
posite in the Chamber, who had brought
this shame and ruin on the country. lie
went right up to his adversary and struck
his shield in the centre. This pluck is
Just what the people want. Let this cx-
ample be taken up, and the battle with
tusnrpation will a9not last long. In this
connection We must do justice to General
Blair, our late candidate for Vice Prcsi-
don't, ,.lIefronl the first has realized that
we hayceto deal with a revolutionary
party. and that they must be mel with a
determination TO put them down. He has
psrer !quailqd; lie has never hcsitatcd to
call these men and their tyranny by their
right names; and to-day he is
perhaps more feared aud hated by
these radicals than any other person in
America. These leaders know well
whom to dread They know that the
class Of gentlemen who in their daily lives
and style Of speech confound the distinc-
lions Of vice and virtue arc not the sort Of
men by whom tho radical leaders viii be
brought to their doom. Against all such
they feel secure, and they, therefore, call
them publicly "tleir friends" We re.
peat, that the Democracy, if thcy. want 10
regain liberty and restore the Constitu-
,tion, must hunt about for the brayest and
most re'oluto champions of the cause
they can find. Courage and will should
be tie frstand last qualifications they
should insist on.

TIE PRESS AND TIE PUBLIC
OFFICES.

The New York Times, On early and
stcadfast supporter Of General Grant, ex-
presses its satisfaction that the grant ad-
ministration is displaying what it calls
"an ostentatious neglect Of the public
press" 1t says that no influential editor
has been appointed to office, with the ex.
ception Of Mr.. Daua, of tho New York
Sm,, and in that case the appointment
was promptly declined. The Times then
goes on to say that the politicians who
control tho conduct Of the country by
filing its Offices have become utterly de-
moralizcd, and look upon government
ouIy rs an agent for plundcring the
country for their own benefit. 1t AYERS
that "thdt there arc not hoJ a ao.ea
STATE Legislatures IN Tic nhsle Uniol
'ehich arc not noioriously open toMebascsl
and most degrading influences ly tshieA
human action can DC controlled. And

MEXICO AND CUBA.

The Mexican Congress has authorized
President Juarez to recognize tie Cuban
insurgents as bcligercnts whenever l'c
thinks proper. Vessels bearing the Cuban
flag are admitted into the ports of Mexico.
The immediate result of this action. it is
thought, will be the placing of several
privatcers in commission to look after
Spanish merchantmen in the West In

RADICAL DISSATISFACTION,

Numbers of the radical journals have
manifested dissatisfaction at the character
of General Grants lending appointments
They continue to grumble, with reference
ESPECIALLY to The foreign missions lhs
New York Times says:
"These appointments have heen too
generally treated as coin for the paymcn,,
of pcrso' al or political obligations and
evincc poverty through knowledge OF the
qualifications required for effective service
in tile foreign field, The assignment is
the rork; Of man nev to this special Dr.
pntn,cnt--of one clearly not familiar
with what is wanted, or with the way to
getit." t2
It is rather unreasonable, however, to
look for experience in civil life when none
was clained, and from purely military
man. The New York Sun, original
Gran, paper, also continues raking fire
on tho President personally, taking sx-
ccption especially to his having "ins'allcd
among his constitutional advisers individ-
uals who were chiefly distinguished for
having conferred upon him costly and
valuable benefac,ious." The Sun goes on
to specify, and says:
"Not to 60 back to Jefferson, or
Adams, or jackson, for virtuous examples
even Andy johnson had senso and de-
cency enough to refuse the present of q
carriage and horses with the presidential
oath lingering on his lips. Such evil
practices OF men in high place, whose past
achievements have dazzled the popular
Imagination, terd to demoralizc the pub
lie .opinion. Ostentatious displays and
proaisats expenditures to bcrcgarded
MS necessary coucomitants Of official
station, and it is felt that the main OBJ
ject of Office is not to discharge ones
duties to the country, but to thereby at
tain sudden riches and indulge in o stod-
dy magnifcencc. The natural result Of
all this must inevitably be that corruption
and venalty will walk unbashcd and al
most un,cbukcd through every department
Of the government

easy as he can through the Summer II
things mean horses and houses ind
dogs and dollars, the President will
simply adhere to his old rule in taking

TIE Register says: Bvrcnisa thought
the existence of "the radical party III
West Virginia depended on Catliles con-
Grmaticn." Garlic not being confirmed,
the party in question is according to Sen.

from the tones Of its organs, however, the
