The second Sampson is an editor and not a pop
ular orator. He opened his infant eyes upon this
earth, Heaven knows how, when or where. He
grew to manhood loving Governor Seward much
because he refused to pardon youthful indScrc-
ton. For a while he made his home on the Pacific
coast, teaching the adventurous men of that golden
land the value Of law and order; winning immor-
tality the friend and heir of the murdered Bro
derrick, and then returning to New York with the
spos of friendship to establish sporting paper,
gaining fresh aures by driving the genial William
I. Porter a ruined man, into drunkards grave.
Since then he has figured 1T many prize fight. has
been an honorcd guest at the Palace of st. James
without the knowledge of the Queen; assisted in
carrying on Stupendous war by specializing in
substitutes.
Wilkes, who must be singularly thin-skin-
ned, claimed that this pointed at him and
was libellous. He went to law about it, and
the jury retained verdict for the defendant
And the verdict of the public is that it served
right. An editor who can't defend himself
with his own gray goose quill, and put the
laugh back on his assalant had better leave
the profession. Especially must he be lacking
in brains and sclf-respect when he goes

We observe that Gen. Tate, the Hayten
ambassador, was present with the diplomatic
corps at the ball to Prince Arthur in Wash
ington. The General is the colored gentle
man who was sometime ago accredited to
this government by Sa!nave, Emperor of
Havti He was made much Of by Grant,
and patronized by the radical crowd gener-
ally. His particular mission was to sell the
whole or portion Of that empire to the
United States, for cash in hand, as they un
derstood this country to be doing an extern
sive business in the purchase and annexation
of negro communities Grant & Co., had
BOUGHT from General Baez the eastern half
of the island-why not pay a round price
for the remainder? They had quite as good
claims to become citizens Of this favored
land as the Dominicans. Their ancestors
had their part in the atrocities committed on
the white inhabitants seventy years ago,
And in addition they had existed in chronic
state Of revolution and bloodshed ever since,
Hardly a single ruler has died in his bed.
Dessalines was assassinated, Christophe com

fled the country. Pierrot abdicated in dis
gust Souloque was driven into exile, by q
revolt led by Geffrard. Geifrard was in turn
exiled by Salnave, and now Salnave has
been shot by his subjects.
And General Tate, who shines so resplend-
emily in his embroidered coat, is oXilcd with
price upon his head. What q country and
people to annex to the United States. But
General Tate was so sweetly welcomed by
Grant in diplomatic speech (writtcn for
him by Fish) and the General has been so
taken to the bosoms of the le:.ders at Wash
ington, that they can't bear TO let him down
to the level of his fallen fortunes. So he is
permitted to air his diplomatic feathers in

represented is dead African, under the soil

VIRGINIA IN THE UNION.

The passage of the bill by which the radi
Gals profess to go through the farce of adj
mitting Virginia, was finished last week,
when the bill received the Presidential sigma
ture 1t will be found in another column. OF
its many ilegalities and absurdities we do
not now propose to speak, but rather to no.
tice some of its probable effects. The same
pect to the remaining states Of Texas, Mis-
sissppi and Georgia-the terms of one are the
terms ofall. When the process is completed, the
turn in the tide ofradical affairs will have come
pressed the views in these columns, that our
first care should be to get the States into the
Union, and out from military control With
the return OF peace, order and self-govern-
weighing of the public good, will come re
turn to Democratic ideas and principles.
But the radical politician counts on the
negro vote Of the south to keep in the CON
troll the Southern States. And he counts,
likewise, on the disabilities and disfranchise-
ment of many white inhabitants in conse-
quence of the penalties Of rebellion. But
it must be remembered that race of young
men are coming forward, who, with no
troublesome record in the past, will be anti
radical in every fiber Of their bodies. The
number disqualified from voting are very
few indeed.
As for the negroes, we have always MAIN
tanned that their votes will be very largely
controlled by the employers to whom they
must look for work and pay. The radicals
declined to put into the enfranchising provis-
ion any property Or intelligence qualification,
thinking that the colored men would blindly
follow their lead But the result in the cleo
tions thus far has not made good these an
tcipations 1t is found that the negro is
greatly under the influence Of the white peo-
pie of the locality. With the whites demo
cratic almost exclusively, and the negro
vote divided every Southern state will be
Democratic. The state governments will be
reyolutionized, and the delegations in Con-
gress changed as fast as the terms expire.
The radicals see the shadow of these com
can be no excuse for longer keeping states
under military control They are defeated if
they do endeavor to keep them there, and de
feated if they don't The democracy have
only quietly to let events work, and wait for
the good time coming.

Great Britain is evidently less in dread of

Germany can never be her rival as a maritime
power and German prcpon1crnnc' over Frnce
would moreover keep tn latter in check, and as.
able her from settling old quarrel, with England,
or from threatening her in any manner. At the
same time England finds a guarantee against
Russia in the East, IN the DamOcles sword

STONE reluctant to mcddle in the fray is the fear
of our vndcation of the Alabama claims In

that SO long as GRiSr is President and FIsH his
