4 Few OF THE LEADING REPuBLI.
CAN PAPERS OF Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, and New York, being
warned by the overwhelming defeat
of their party in the November cleo
tons, recently attempted to get up a
third national party, composed OF
Democrats and moderate Republi-
cans. The enterprise met with con-
siderable encouragement from Dem
ocratic papers in the North. The
Louisville Couricr-Journal also Chin
cd in, and in the course of a lengthy
doublc-lcadcd editorial leader, took
occasion TO flattcr the Republican or
Radical party, saying that lit was a
great party instigatcd BY a most he
roic purpose" Will the Courier
Journal be kind enough 10 tell us
what that "most heroic purpose was!
Was it coercion? Was it the murder
of Mrs. SURRATTi Was il cmancipa-
ton? Was it the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments? Heroic
purpose" % Surely. the age of
wonders has not entirely passed
away, when a leading Southern jour-
nal, supported by Southern people,
can speak words Of the highest COM
incubation in behalf Of a party that
brought on aud fought a war of cocr-
cion, and after il was over, produced
n black night of oppression for four
years. The threatened break, how
ever, ina the Radical ranks did not oc-
cur, and the honicd words of the Lou
isvillc paper availcd nothing. II is a
remarkable fact, that the Nashville
Banner acted with more than its usual
discretion, and stool alOof, and did
not throw il, arms around the Radi-
cal neck, and muttcr words Of love
and reconciliation. We say this in
order 10 give his Satanic Majesty his

LOcOmOtiOn BY Steel Springs.

The HHidBSoR journal of last week
thus notices a rev invention ofJohn NJ
Cayce, a machanic ofFranklin:
We witnessed on Monday the practical
workingof a new invention, the result o.
the skill and ingenuity OF Mr.. John NJ
Cayce, q citizen of this place, whose sue.
cess in inventions of a useful character is
fast making his name familiar in all the
States Of the Union. The invention re.
ferred to above is a combination of pow
or produced by steel springs, and intend.
ed to he used for propelling all kinds OF
light machinery, such as sewing ma
chimes and the like, and also bugyies
carriages and street cars. The machine
when we saw it, was attached to a blow
err intended 10 supply gas pipes with
oxygen and moved with a steady, in
~eXhaustible power, which insurts its
success in this department and demon
strates the fact that an application OF
heavier springs, or a larger number OF
mall ones will do all that John Cayce
claims for his invention. The machine
is so arranged that he can i'll a moment
detach or add another spring, thereby
decreasing 70 increasing tie powers at will,
the entire machine being under the per-
feet control of the operator.
We are not sufficiently acquainted with
machinery to explain this invention
thoroughly, but are enough 80 tosee that
this is emphatically a success.
Mr.. Cayce has already put in operation
his other inventions, the most important
of which is his "Patent Portable Forge,
which is destined to take the place ofthe
old-fashioned bellows altogether, il be-
ing much cheaper. more durable, and
better adapted for the purposes for which
the bellows is used,

The reply OF the Russian Government
TO Earl Granville's letter was promptly

entirely firm in the position already
adopted, and refutes at length the state

~cipalities were in c~ontraventiOn of the
treaty of Paris, ensured TO her advan-
tage. She appeals 10 all friendly powers
TO note the fact, that the Congress is
impracticable, in the present state of the
principal European powers, and that
Russia expressly disclaims any hostile
intentions, or desires to disregard any
provisions ofthe treaty of Paris, other
than those which are generally admitted
TO be unjust and oppressive TO her. SIZE

of friendly relations which she endeav-
ored to cultivate with Great Britain, but

= The THREATENED REPUBLICAN
BREAK.

The Conspiracy Of Free Traders.
From the Albany Journal-Rcpublican State
Orgsn-Nov. 1J.l
The Chicago Tribune throws of the
mask and unrescrvedly declares in
favor of a full coalition betwccn the
sO-called revenue rcformers and the
democracy. It's declaration scarcely
deserves even this representation.
The mask it has heretofore worn has
been SO fragile and transparent that it
has deceived nobody. In casting
aside the meagrc shreds with which
it has pretended to conceal its naked
perfidy it discloses no new purpose.
but only avows il the moro boldly.
The Tribune fully endorses the
scheme propoundcd in the New York
Post of a unoin between the "rcvenuc
refOrmers' and the democracy in the
organization Of the House and in all
political operations. This means. if
it could be carried out, nothing less
than tho swallowing up of the "rc-
formers" in the democratic party. IL
is a direct thrust at the vitality of the
republican organization. Indeed, the
Tribune says the time has come for
the reorganization Of parties and chat
the only living issue is the question
of free trade and the tariff. The Fri
6uRc is a partisan of free trade, and
drifts, by the Irresistible force of its
false logic, into cooperation with the
democratic party.

even greater hopes Of carry ing with
them Owe 10 the demOcracy ID the

TO Washington TO leave the terms of

out of our line but If you can stand
the alliance VIC CALL"
The Chicago Tribune has a large
and well mcrited influence, but it has
very little comprehension Of the
strength of political attachments when
they are once formed, of the depen-
dencc of a great system Of bcnefilcnt
legislation, which is still on trial, upon
the continued republican ascendancy,
or of the alternative which must be
accepted in the event that lis dcscrtion
and the desertion of its friends ac-
complished the defeat of that organi-
Zation. < = = If the plan here in
dicated of uniting the free trade re-
publican and democratic members of
the next House were attempted, and
they were strong enough to control
the organization, the question would
como to a directissue before the cOun-
try sooner than has been expected.
But it will not be attempted; first,
because there is not a shadow of evil
dencc in the late elections or in the
general discussions of the subject to
indicate that such a combination OH
that issue would be sustained by the
country, and the veteran free traders
arc too wise to allow the new converts
iii the heat of their young zeal to inn
peril everything by rushing in too
soon; and second, because, with q
large portion of the democratic party,
although adhering to free trade, it is
dominated by a passionate and over
ruling purpose to degrade the nation
al credit by violating the national obi
cations, and to reserve some of the
most solemn and binding decisions of
the war. The evidences of this spsrit
among them are too abundant and too
recent to be concealed long enough to
patch up a combination with republic
cans, if for nothing more than the con.
troll of the House of Representatives
however much they might desire TO
use theirpower by the first instrument
which came to hand.
