War with England.

The result OF the fall elections gave Grant
and the radical leaders generally such scare
that they made up their minds something
must be done to save the party In their
extremity, Ben Butler was appealed to and he
paid Grant q visit at the white house to con-
suit on the subject. The result of that consul
tatiOn appears in q speech, or rather 'lecture,"
delivered by Butler few days afterwards. in
which he takes the ground that the only sal
vatlon for the republican party lies in war
with England about the Alabama claims and
the northeast coast fisheries, and to this
desperate resort it is believed the country is
actually to be forced to save the radical party
from going under. What do the west care
about the n. E. fisheries or the claims Of half
dozen of New England ship owners an &C
count of losses by the depredations Of the
Alabama Not enough certainly to spend a
thousand millions or tive over them in foolish
war with England.

AT length there is room to hope that the
European dispatches may be sitted of their
lnordinate chaflincss and cut down to some
thing like reasonable length. as both the
English cables have suddenly given out, and
the french cable works but slowly and only
one way, which is fortunately westward. The
cable OF 80 gave out on Saturday, the "fault"
being about so miles out from Hearts Content.
A vessel was sent out to make repairs and ia
supposed to have grappled the cable of '65,

ground that cable also ceased to work

There is no such thing as visiting upon
individuals or cliques the responsibility of
party misdeeds. The Democracy are in power
in this State, because of the wrongs of very
few Republicans. The Republican party has
always been sound in its desire, commendable
in its aspiration, and wise in its purpose. But
a few individuals-not enough TO constitute a
clique have brought upon that party tenn
porary reverse. The offense of the Demo-
cratic party is of far greater gravity. Not
only cliques, but party organizations, have
abused their trust-not only individuals, but
powerful combinations, actuated by selfish
ambition, are pushing for control 1t is not
the detection of few unworthy members
which has alarmed our contemporary, but the
fierce struggle of rival and powerful chieftains
for political control. The fact that so dis
graceful contest is being waged is sufficient

THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION.

From the Savannah Republican.
There is one solemn, grand fact that stands
out in the history of the world, in all ages
and countries, from the beginning of the
creation till the present time. 1t is that no
people were ever trampled upon who did not,
sooner or later, turn and rend their oppres-
sors. 1t is fact, too, founded in the very
nature of man and the laws of eternal justice
and right. Men have an inherent right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
and any trespass thereupon is a violation of
the great fundamental law of humanity, and
in the economy of God has its punishment.
always fully commensurate with, oftentimes
exceeding, the crime. And in the sight of
Heaven and earth the retribution is just. The
oppressor is the wrong-doer, and upon his
head alone rests the guilt.
We are stating history, not uttering threats.
We do it, too, with pacific intent-to warn
the wicked men of the present day of catas-
trophe ahead, the sad details of which We
contemplate with as profound an emotion of
horror as themselves. AS friends OF right and
of peace we hold up the lesson for the in
struction and guidance of those men OF our
country who, from the love of power or pelf,
have made the fatal mistake of supposing
| that, under the protection of heartless Gov
| ernment, they can wrong and trample upon
1 their fellow-men with impunlty. 1t cannot
| be done. Heaven never yet allowed the crime
to go unpunished. The whole pathway OF
history is strewn with the wrecks of those
who, in pursuit of self, forgot its teachings
and in the delirium of fRncied success hurried
on to disastrous fate.
How much reason we have for this text anc
| comment in the movements OF parties anc
the condition of our unhappy country to-day
it is unnecessary to say. The complaints o
our wronged countrymen fill the air, and th'
lamentations of the oppressed are waited OF

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PARTIES.

From the Albany Evening Journal
The Argus whistles to keep its courage up
1t cannot deny that fearful tornadois sweep
ing over the Democratic camping ground,
threatening to tear up much besides buckle
berry bushes. The hurricane prevails, but,
it saws, 'the Governor stands high above
these storms, calm in the mi!st of this con-
fusion and serene in his high Office" 1t may
be SO; but the wind is howling fearfully about
his mansion, nevertheless; and it is said the
demon which rides upon the storm will not be
appeased until ruin and desolation is wrought
there, also. Let the hurricane roar, screams
the AYguS; it will soon be over. 1t ''inspires
no fear in us. 1t may be so; but is nobody
to be hurt? o, yes, our neighbor answers,
'Individual regulations ndinfuence may be

yiduals," and where are these ''cliques?' Are
they not the guiding minds of the Demo
cracy the embodiment of its party power?
Are they to go down, and the party mot lose
it's prestige or its strength?" Foolish hope!
1t is well for the State that the Democratic
party has unchecked control. The people
can now see into whose hands they have com
mitted power. A set of men, with greedy lust
for patronage, place, and peif, howl over the
spoils like ravenous wolves, and tear each

fear that rivals will get more than themselves,

A COLORED ORGANIZATION.

FROM tHe DeuOeT LldutCN
The colored men of Philadelphia ar de-
batting the propriety of an independent politi
cal organization, Republican in principle but
which shall maintain and protect them in
their proper status in the Republican party.
While the fifteenth amendment has become
part of our organic law, and as such is acqui-
esced in and submitted to by all-even the
Democracy-it is not to be forgotten that it
owes its efficacy to Congress and the State
Legislatures, not to the people. Just, hu-
name, and wise as it is, all the strength of a
new and popular administration was required
to unite the representatives of the Re-
publican party in its support. In Penn
sylvania, especially, the naked question of
impartial suffrage, submitted to a direct vote
of the people, would have been negatived
by decisive majority. 1t would have been
negatived because a respectable fraction of
the dominant party is SO imbued with the
old-time pride of caste and prejudice of color,
that it was ready to unite with the Democ-
racy to prevent the advancement of the negro
And the Democratic party, whatever may be
the present utterances of its leaders, was
unitedly and bitterly hostile. The colored
people should accept the situation and disem-
| barTass their true friends of the complications
which must inevitably follow their separate
organization. They should rerognize the
| existence of an adverse sentiment, which is
only latent because it has no opportunity or
occasion proftably to manifest itself. They
should make haste slowly, that their advance
ment may be certain, merge with Republi-
cans and base their claims to Office and pre-
| ferment upon the merits of their individuals,
! not upon their ability to deliver or withhold q
| given number of votes. If they do not, il
will be all the worse for them and for the Re.
| publican party.

SOUTHERN WOMEN VS.. MULATTOEs
