THE REPUBLICAN PRESS AND GEN.
GRANT.

Many of the leading Republican papers
are openly expressing their dissatisfaction
with the line of policy pursued by Grant.
The New York Times, for instance, in
noticing the removal of Mr.. Grinnell as
Collector of New York, and the appoint
ment of Thos. Murphy in his place, says
ave nave ourselves, as our readers will
attest, ever been foremost to do Justice to
his intentions, and TO place his actions in
the most favorable light before the coun-
try. But 1T would be useless to deny that
the President is rendering it a task of in
creasing difficulty to defend him against
enemies into whose hands he is constant
ly playing.
at is certainly not the fault ofhis sun
porters in the Press that so thorough a
want Of harmony exists between the SEN
ate and himself. Matters seem TO be get
ting into very much the same state as
in the time of Andrew Johnson. Projects
in which the President takes adeep inter
are ANONYMOUSLY cast out of the Senate"
Of Murphy's appointment it remarks
that at has delighted his opponents and
disheartened his friends" and hat at
sets rational explanation at defiance"

We observe that the Commercial has at
last come out fat-footed in favor of the
importation of Chinese coolies, to compete
with the American laborer and mechanic.
In this it is faithful to the party which it
represents, and which, as an additional in
centive, offers to make the coolies citizens
and voters. The people, in the elections
this fall, will have a chance to express
their opinion upon this threatened irrup-
ton of debased Asiatic pagans upon our
shores, to starve and drive out our own
countrymen.-CIn. Enquirer
The Commercial is not the only radical
paper that favors the importation of Chi
nese coolies. The Rep and Rep of this
city, the organ of the New England Pro-
t~ectionists and Bondholders, takes ground
in its last weeks issue in favor of the
Chinese pest. 1t had been quite reticent
up to that time ON the question, but it
could keep still no longer on the rat-eat-
ing question and Of course opposes the
position taken by the Democrat.
Well, the question is roast rat and ten
cents a day for the working man, or, 1.-TWO
dollars a day and roast beefl"
Put us down for two dollars a day and
roast beef

DRAKE, of Missouri, foreseeng the
speedy return of the Democratic party to
power, is trying his hand at a little game
Of intimidation. In urging the passage of
a law, depositing the sole power of natu-
ralization in the U. S. courts, in the Sen
ate, on the lst inst, Drake said
"Sir, 1 say here, that whenever the
time comes that this nation shall see clear
" that the voice of its legal votes has been
overthrow by the vote in the city of
New York, then a large portion of the vo-
tiers will rise as one man, and declare that
the man elected to the Presidency by frau
dulent votes shall never take his seat as
such, then will come the first real civil
war in this country"
Ofcourse it is,easy to see what the threat
means. Say New York State decides a
Presidential election and the vote of the
city that of the State, then Mr.. Senator
Drake promises US 'the first real civil war
in this country" This balderdash will
not prevent the Democracy from moving
on the enemy's works, and carrying them.

WAR IN EUROPE.

The announcement last week was, that
Leopold, prince of H~ohenzoIlern, in Prus-
STA, had been selected by the Spanish cabi-
net, as king of Spain, and would be chosen
by the Cortes, as the Spanish cabinet con-
trolled that body. This piece of news i'm
mediately threw the French government
and people into a ferment, and war was to
be the result. The European news has
been filled with rumors of war ever since,
and 1t would appear that France means
business against Prussia, as Napoleon
does not care to see Prussia become an
overshadowing power by a union with
Spain.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a de-
bate on Wednesday, stated that under no
Pretext would France permit a German
power to place one of its Princes on the
throne of Charles V. The Minister. no.
ped, however, prudence in Germany and
wisdom in Spain, would avert e~xtremities.

RADICALREVIYAL OFKNOw-NOTH-
ING

The Radicals have decided to force
through Congress the COnkling Natmali-
cation bill which was debated in the Sen
ate Friday. and set for a vote on Satur-
day next. When it comes oyer to the
House the previous question is to be
moved on it. But the Democrats are
forewarned. In the discussion the Radi-
Gals threatened civil wan if a Democrat is
elected President. Sir, 1 say here" said
Mr.. Senator Drake, that whenever the
time comes that this nation shall see clear
ly that the voices of its legal voters has
been o%verthrown by this vote in the city
of New York, then a large portion of the
nation will rise as one and declare that the
man elected to the presidency by that
fraudulent vote hal never take his seat
as such, and then will come the first real
civil war in this country.

IT is evident the organs Of the "happy
family" in Stark county do not dwell to-
gether in the best of harmony. The pent
up feelings will break out oncsan a while,
and indicate the state of things below the
surface. The same discordant condition
Of things seem to exist in many parts OF
the country, and in many places is break
ing out in open rupture and warfare, as in
Pittsburgh.
We give below the first paragraph of an
article that appeared in the Massillon
American oftwo weeks ago. We delayed
s~uppOsing our neighbors of the Rep. and
Rep. would notice it-but they treat the
American with silent contempt. Here is
the paragraph;
"a MEAN SwINDLE.-The policy adop-
ted eight months ago by the Canton Rep.
and Rep. towards this Office crops out oc-
casionally in the most contemplate con
duct, as much unbecoming gentlemen as a
monstrous deformity. A wei known cour-
tesy among publishers gives neighboring
publication a salutation Of some kind,
and even only a grunt is considered a rec

acknowledge anything American" Then
it was suggested to the portly firm that
Garrison would interfere with their orders
for work from Massillon. Not by n Cd
d-n sight says Tom Saxtou, while Mil
Ter is there" Afterward Mr.. Miller wan
ted a large circular, containing reading
matter and cuts, descriptive Of Russell (
Company manufactures, printed on book
paper, with at cost of 81 per pound, and
he asked US to give him a bid. We did
so, but our price for good work being con-
sidered high, or the tricks of the Rep. and
Rep. folks not being understood, Mr.. Mil
Ter gave them the Job, and the result was
amiserable botch. The cuts were printed
so blurred that it was difficult to tell a
move and areaper from a thresher. The
ink used was trash that cost thirteen cents
a pound, instead Of 81 as contracted for
and the paper was correspondingly poor.
The work was thus completed and deliv-
cred. They repeatedly send us their pa
per, blank, as an exchange. Once they
sent US their heading on a blank sheet

THE SPANISH THRONE.

The latest news from Spain is that
Prim, with the concurrence of Serrano,
the Regent, has invited Prince Leopold, of
Hohenzollern -Sigmaringen to become a
candidate for the Spanish throne. He is
Catholic, and Stephanie, niece of Jose
phine and adopted daughter of Napoleon
l., and wife of the Grand Duke Charles of
Baden, was his grandmother. This gen
tleman, Iieutenant-colonel of a Prussian
infantry regiment, is thirty-five years old,
and is married to a sister of the king of
Portugal, by whom he has two sons. There
IS a report in Madrid that he has been put
forward by some manouvre o -Count Bis
marck, andthat he is Objectionable as a
descendant of Murat, who was King of
Naples during the First Empire. This last
impression is incorrect. His grandmother
was of the Beauharnais family. and he is
nearly related, therefore, to Napoleon the
Third. Of all the candidates yet pres6ted
Prince Leopold seems to be the most eli
gible.

AN exchange calls the Chinese question
"the Asiatio pest" 1t is so considered in
California, where the pest has been on
trial. Over 5000 Chinese coolies have ar
rived this year and every week adds to
the number. China can spare millions OF
this coolie class and never miss them
These coolies are furnished upon contracts
and are in fact slaves. In their own land
they labor for two or three cents a day
and if this Importation goes on they will
inevitably break down wages and prove a
scourge to our working white people and
to the country. There is nothing more
certain. 1t is time that Protection" in
fact was being called for by our laboring
men. They have been voting protection
long enough to capitalists and bondhol-
ders

Hi Ramkee Ter the great Chinese ply
stefan of San Francisco, wears three pig
tails. OF course he is a mighty medicine
man, and charges 10 to $50 for a single
consultation. His name originally was
Hiram Keezer, and he was born at Barn
stable, Mass.
1t is said Sumner despises Grant, and has
hard work to conceal his contempt. He
is not alone in that sentiment, for those
who come in contact with him discover
his ruling appeites are love Of whisky and
love of money.
An exchange paper insists that White
more, the NJ. c. cadet peddler, is not the
worst man in the world. 1t claims he is
n of the most modest thieves of Con-
gress.
The expenditures of the Z. S. govern
ment for the ten years, ending with 1859,
averaged sixty-six millions a year. Al
lowing for the increase in our population
and the increase in prices, the sum now
required for all government expenses wo'd
be $l3O,OOO,O 900. Instead of this sum,
however, The economical administration
Of Grant requires 3I5.OOO.OOO. The yelp-
ing colored journals and radical leaders
are trying to make people believe these
knaves in power are paying Of the Ma
tional debt.

SMITH, the young negro cadet at West
Point, provided he tells the truth, is hay
ing a lively old time of it. In a recent
letter he says:
l passed the examination all right, and
got in, but my companion Howard failed
and was rejected. Since he went away l
have been lonely indeed. And now these
fellows appear to be trying their utmostt to
run me of, and | fear they will succeed if
they continue as they have begun. We
went into camp yesterday, and not a mo-
ment has passed since then but some one
OF them has been curslng and abusing me.
All night they were around my tent, ours
ing and swearing at me, so that did not
sleep two hours all night. 1t is lust the
same at the table, and what l get to eat l
must snatch for like a dog. l do not wish
to resign if l can get along at all, but I
don't think it will be best for me to stay
and take all the abuses and insults that
are heaped upon me. The examination
was very hard this year-harder than ever
be!ore-and since l have been successful
in getting in l will stay as long as l pos
slbly can. One of the cadets refused to
drill the squad because l was in it, and
they reduced him from a corporal to a pri-
vate for disobedience Of orders, and they
are all mad about it. The one who drills
the squad now is the meanest specimen of
humanity l ever saw. After marching US
out to the drill ground this morning he
said to me, Stand off one side from the
line, you id black son of a b.. You
are too near that white man. / want YOU
to remember you are not on an equal loot
ing with white men in your class, and
what you learn here you will have to pick
up, for l won't teach you a id thing"
And thus he kept me standing until the
captain came around inspecting, when he
pretended that he put me there to teach
me a movement which I had never prac-
ticed before. And l could say nothing at
all, or l would have been locked up for
disobedience of orders or d~isrespect to
superior officers" If it ever happens
again l shall deny it to his face and then

EARTHQUAKES IN THE MEDITER.
RANEAN.

The Grecian Archinelago has again been
disturbed by a volcanic upheaval, and
with terrible results. For two thousand
years, we are told, fearful commissions
have from time to time changed the face
of nature in that region. Islands have
suddenly risen out of the depths of the
sea, and as suddenly disappeared. In the
recent earthquake, the Island of Santorin
which belongs to the group of Cyclades,
celebrated in the poets, and which since
1865 has been consuming with hidden
fires, was riven throughout its whole ex-
tent, and its capital, Thera, reduced to a
heap Of ruins. while an adjacent island
was swallowed up by the Mediterranean.
1t does not appear hat this latter was in
habited, and we can only lament that it
not the home Of the Greek brigands.
Santorin is a corruption of Saint Irene,
the name given to the island in the third
century of the Christian era. In ancient
times it sent forth the colony that found
ed the Libyan city of Cyrene. Its chief
production was the vine, which fourshes
best in volcanic countries, and from which
the inhabitants made one million gallons
of wine annually. The full extent of the
calamity viii be known when accounts
can reach US from Athens.

AT the late election in Illinois, the Demo
Gratis achieved a decided and substantial
triumph, in the election of four of the
seven Judges constituting the Supreme
Court of the State. 1t is but Just to say,
however, that in some instances political
considerations did not enter into the Judi
cial canvass, and that the Democratic sue
cess is due in a great measure to the SUI
perior ability of their candidates.

PORTER, a carpet-bag Congressman
from Virginia, was at Richmond on leave
of absence and was assaulted there by
Patrick Woods. Our radical Congress or
dered the arrest of Woods for the assault
upon their brother, on whom, during the
war, Gen. Butler had a ball and chain
placed. After a hearing of the case, the
House ordered Woods to be imprisoned for
three months. The Chicago Tribune and
other decent radical papers denounce it as
ahigh handed proceeding, and an outrage
unauthorized by law. The Tribune says:
"If John Morrissey should be knocked
down in his gambling den at Saratoga,
would the House undertake to punish the
assailant? Its legal power to do so would
be the same as its power to imprison Pat
rick Woods. This claim of extraordinary
privilege is the more dangerous because
the action Of the House is final. The vic
tim can not be heard on habeas corpus,
and no writ of error can be obtained"
