ly every family has laid In provisions lor the
Siege, when the public supply shall be exhausted.
Meantime, the city still continues to be Paris In
the real sense of the word. Perfect. order and
tranquility reign. The city Is almost as gay as
before; even the theatres occasionally open for
matinecs, concerts and lectures.
Tie lesson OF the late elections is too plain for
mistake. The triumph in Virginia was not only
over the pride OF party so strong In that State,
which rendered the old line Wings loath to adopt
the name of Democrats, but also over the gerry
Wandering OF the '.black and tan" convention,
which threw the white preponderance Into three
Of the eight Congressional Districts for that pur-
pose setting at naught harmony OF interest anu
geographical unity. Yet, while the late congress
contained Ave Radicals and three Democrats only,
the new delegation will have i've sterling Demo-
Gratis, and but for the "Independent" ticket 1or
minor offices, Potter, the weakest OF the carpet
baggcrs would have been defeated. All this in the
face of 125 0Oo negro votes. In ILLINOIS, the penl
Gratis gain 4,OoO in the late election, and cut
down John A. Logan's majority 10 5000. Sulllclent
returns have come In TO indicate that the Demo-
Gratis will have a majority in the lower House OF
the Legislature, while the Radicals have small
majority in The Senate. II the Democracy do not
ave majority In the tw3 Houses, Jointly, the
liyis.on will be OF such a nature as will, In all
probability, assure the election Of Judge Law
renee to the United States Senate. All the Demo-
cratic papers in Missouri are half crazy over the
net result In their State, and are bringing forth
from their dust uf desuetude all the old rooster
cuts they own, to celebrate the election Of their
choice for Governor and State officers, majority
of the Legislature, and the control Of seventy out
OF one hundred and fourteen counties In the
State, including the great County Of St. Louis,

Militia outrages In Union.

We print in another column firm but
temperate leading article from the Union
vile Times, containing description of the
outrageous conduct Of turbulent squads OF
negro militia. Armed bands prowl about
Unionville every night, and volleys have re-
Gently been fired into the houses Of two
white citizens. This condition of things.
cannot last, and the white people OF Union
.hink of organizing themselves into mill
tary body for the protection Of themselves
and their families. So natural a determina-
ton cannot be condemned; but the people
of Union must, for their own sakes, be Cir
cumspect and patient. They should not
think of taking the law into their own
hands, until they have exhausted every legal
and usual means of obtaining redress for
the past and security for the future. This
may be their position now; but we advise q
last appeal to Governor Scott, who can, if
he will, render the negroes inocuous by de-
priving them OF the arms which they are
using to the injury OF Union County and the
whole State. A committee Of citizens, pre-
pared to substantiate the statements made
by the Times, might wait upon Governor
Scott, and demand OF him that measures be
taken for the preservation OF peace and the
suppression OF disorder The white citizens
owe this to themselves, and it is due to
Governor Scott, who may now be willing to
extend some consideration to the white peo-
pie of the State. At all events, this last
effort should be made before the Injured citi-
zens OF Union go one step further. In offer
ing this advice, we have no after-thought.
All that we desire is the punishment OF
wrong-doc.s and the maintenance Of peace.

The. Policy OF the Present.

The Radical faction, Of which Governor
Scott is the head and front, proves by its
conduct since the elections OF last month
its utter ignorance OF the motives Of the
leaders OF the late Reform organization,
while, at the same time, it confesses, in and
out of season, that both Retrenchment and
Reform are necessary in the administration Of
the affairs of the State. All the Radical
journals and few teen with admissions
OF ignorance and venality in times past and
with exhortations and promises for times to
come The laws which they stoutly de-
Tended short month ago they now criti-
else and condemn, aud the end OF oil their
pretty writing is fresh appeal to the re-
spectacle and intelligent white citizens OF
the State to become members OF the Radt-
cal party in order that 10 certainty, parti-
san and incorporate legislation may he pre-
vented. and that every interest in the State
may have its just representation. They admit,
so 10 speak, that South Carolina Radicalism
has neither the brains nor the virtue needed
for giving lie people Q government worthy
OF the name, and they ask their opponents
to ruin themselves in the vain endearor to
cleanse and purify body of adventurers
who are, to all appearances, hopelessly and
irretrievably corrupt. In this lies their chief
mistake. The Reform party was one Of
principle, not OF policy. 1t was not strug-
gle for office not bare contest between the
ins and the outs, but straightforward en-
deavor to put in the honest man and put out
the knave, to put in practice the axiom that
they who cannot conduct their own affairs
decently and intelligently are unfit to have
control Of the lives and fortunes OF whole
people. The Reform movement failed to
accomplish its main purpose. Fraud and
prejudice, in close alliance, could not be
overcome. But the fight is not yet ended.
Under one name or another, in some shape
or other, the Reform movement will go on
until vice and uncleanness have been
scouryed out OF the high places they usurp,
or until not an upright man remains to raise
voice and hand for the regeneration OF
his people. And this conviction, now that
the struggle is lost and won, is settling deep
in the stout public heart.
At this time political agitation would be
out OF place, if not positively hurtful.
There are no general elections until the fall
of 1872, until which time we must live as
we'll as we can under whatever sort
of government the Scott faction may choose
to give US. Then the political battle-State
and Federal-will be sharp, and, we trust,
decisive, in which last named quality, by
the way, the elections OF October are BY no
means wanting. At present we should hus-
band our political strength, and, while we
stand squarely together, strive with might
and main to enlarge commercial operations,
to make the earth more fruitful, and to en-
courage immigration. Working in the di-
rection OF Industrial progress, we are hewing
our way to political Reform. The people

The Collapse OF Grant.

Ever since his Inauguration, President
Grant has been steadily losing ground in
the esteem and confidence of the leading
Independent journals, and the best men OF
the party which elected him. Recent de-
yelopments in connection with the retire.
ment OF Secretary Cox from the Cabinet,
and disclosures which have just come to
light concerning some very dirty land jobs,
have rapidly heightened the prevailing dis
satisfaction in respectable Republican cir
cles into absolute disgust with, and unstinted
denunciation OF, the Administration. The
Nation, decidedly the ablest exponent of
Republican views in the North, in its lost
issue, gives the coup-de-grace to the Presi-
dent in the following paragraph:
SIT is altogether pititul story. one of the
most pitiful in political history. The wreck of
General Grants fame is national misfortune.
That fame was national possession, and it
was the best people OF the country, those
whom he now is repudatlng or refusing to
rely on, who built it up by giving him the
hearty and unfalterIng support In the field and
at the polls which alone enabled him to make
head against the worthless gang whom he has
now taken into his confidence, and who will
now use him for his destruction and the filing
of their own pockets. We believe the opinion
of the shrewdest observer is that the work of
manipulation and management will be done
with sufficient dexterity to give him control
of the convention OF 1872. Of course it is
rather soon to indulge In speculation on thls
subject, but 1t Is not too soon for the friends Of
reform and good government to decide on
what their course should be from this time for
ward Their first duty clearly Is to give no
encouragement or support to the corrupt
regime which is being established at Washing
ton; the second to do what in them lies to
prevent any mans getting the Republican
nomination for the Presidency who seeks 1t as
General Grant is seeking 1t, and the third Is
to see that, If he does get it, 1t shall profit him
nothing. The time has come for all friends OF
reform to stand firm and fast before the tide
of corruption rises any higher. The present
breed of politicians will assuredly die hard,
and will deceive many as their progenitors
have done in all ages before they got their
quietus, but get 1t they will eventually

DISAPPOINTMENT OF GEN. STANNARD.
The president on Thursday last re-
appointed Gen. Stannard collector for
the district of Vermont. Our entire
delegation were united in presenting
his name. This winds up the grand
raid of N. w. Bingham and his satel-
lites scattered here and there behind
antiquated stumps, stone walls and
diminutive outbuildings, who constant
ly pop up and throw mud and kindred
projectiles, because of their mental in
ability to use manly weapons. Send
ing Bingham through the country to
spy out the actions of officials and
guard the interests of the treasury, is
like setting a hungry hound to watch
a bone, sending Kidd in search Of
pirates or making the vilest prostitute
in the land governess of a reform
school. He is one of the sweet fruits
that the Know Nothing party gave US
and the hateful heritage that Baxter
queathed to his enemies. Brains he
has. Shame he has none. A glorious
stool pigeon he for the prince Of dark
ness.

FIRE.-The dwelling house of j.
Fl. Webb was totally destroyed by
fire on Friday forenoon last. The
fire started on the roof, and doubt
less took from a spark falling from
the chimney. The recent dry wealth
er had made it like finder and light
breeze at the time famed it out of Or.
binary power. If a ladder and a few
pals of water had been handy, the
building could probably have been
saved. The alarm was made and
the fire company soon on the ground,
but having no water they could do
but little. Mr.. Webb was absent in
Westminster at the time, but his fam
lily and the neighbors and citizens
generally soon rallied and sa7ed
most of his goods in the house, and
the contents Of the barn adjoining
which was also burnt. His total loss
must be more than $4,000, on which
he was insured in the Home, New
York, 1000 on the house, and $3.50
on household furniture, &c. 1t was a
story and a half house, and Mr.. Jen
ness, fireman on the Rutland &
Burlington railroad, occupied the up
per part as a tenement and lost near
ly everything he had. His mother
who lives with him is a helpless inva

before for two years, till carried GU
to escape from the fire. The los

of currency in the market. lie read
statements that the banks OF New
York had on the 2Sth of May, 1871,
$22S,OOO,0OO on deposit, and clrcr.
lation of s33,OOO,OOO, being a total
of s261,OOO,OOO. The reserve OF 20
per cent. in that would amount to
$64,5OOOOO, but the banks actually
held 1914, 100000 of cash reserve, be-
ing a surplus of $3O,OO0O00. What
was the key to that situation? The
succeeding sentences furnished it;
The rate of money, 4 per cent, mon

Mr.. Garfield was followed by Mr..
Cox of New York, who opposed the
bill for the issue of ninety-fve millions
of national bank notes, which it pro-
posed, and all pending fiscal measures,
as mere makeshifts, not looking to
the real relief and solution of the f.
nancial difficulties and return to a
specie basis. Mr.. Cox also condemn
ed the funding parts of the bill as out
of place, and opposed free banking in
all forms, as certain to bring excess
and rum.

ed the House in support Of the bill
aud in opposition to the theory of a

lieved would operate injuriously.-
He favored the gradual and prudent
