National Editorial bonrde. The Chronicle
under bis management is feeh'y conduct
ed. and is doubtless O beoVT drag upon the
party and the Administration. Its HORIZON
instead Of embracing the whole country,
even in a party point of view, seems to be
circumscribed by tho Ku-Klnx aud North
Carolina. We felt sure that Holden was
incapable of that enlarged and compre-
hensive conten plation of affairs that Is
requisite for O national politician or a
national journal We venture that at the
expiration of his contruc-, if not be fore,
he will be as summarily evicted from his
position on the Chronicle. as h. was from
the Executive chair Of North Carolina.
which he polluted and disgracei.
It is amusing, by the way, to observe
how faithful reproduction OF Holden OF
| the old Standard is Holden of the Ctr01a-
icze. We have the same platitudes. the
same stereotyped expressions, the same
assertions without argument, tho same m
blushing mendac1ty. For instance. we
take the following from late number OF
the Chronicle:
SIT has been proved that there are forty thou
sand of these masked cCnspirAtors IN North Car
DINA; and forty thousand in Tennessee we be-
ieve the above estimate for these States is far
below the real number, and we have reason to
believe that in all the other reconstructed States,
especially in South Carolina and Georgia, they
EXIT in large numbers. They have DISCUSSES
and Srms and they are generally well mOu nted
The seat OF authority, from which orders IN chief
to them emanate, is believed to be in the State
of New York. AS the President states, this con-
spiracy has obstructed law and cccasiOned re-
bellion. It has practically nuilifed the Oonsti
tuition Of the United States in the most vital
particulars"
Now Holden knows, es well as he knows
anything, that there are not "forty thou
sand of these masked corspirators in
North Carolina" if. indeed, there be in
the State at all, outside of the Union
League any secret political organization.
He locates, noaO, the headquarters of the
alleged association in New York, whereas,
in his letters to Grant, pending the Kirk
war, he saddIed Andrew Johnson with the
chief authority What disgusting twad-

of "apger, malice and all uncharitable.

BEIUREGARD THE FRENCH DE-
FEAT.
rc Hi,,tcules the idea that he ever Com
templated Engaging in the Franco
Prussian War.

So many false statements have been pub
lished about the alleged movements of Gene
raj Beauregard, in connection with the Franco
German war, that the following letter from
the General, dated New Orleans, March Z, and
addressed to Mr.. H. w. Burton, OF the Peters
burg Index, will be lad with interest:
Dear Sir-Your favor Of the eth ultlmo has
been received. had seen in the newspapers
the report of my being In France 10 assume
command ofa part of the French army, but
did NOT think it OF sufficient importance to the
public To deny the report, and to state that
have not been absent from the United States
since 1866.
Being of French origin, lmy ancestors hav-
ing emiSrated from Frnnce to Louisiana over
century ago. my sympathies were with the
French in their late war with Germany; but not
being "an officer de fortune "a military adVen-
tllrer,) did not feel called upon to offer my
services in struggle in which was not di-
rectIy or indirectly interested. Moreover, 1t
might have appeared rather presumptuons on
the part of an eX-Conlederate officer to sup
pose that he could be Of much service to na.
ton represented to have the best officers and
soldiers IN the world.
After the fall Of Sedan and Metz, which
enabled the Germans to concentrate their
forces against gallant Paris, the fate OF France
appeared settled To continue the struggle
alter the surrender OF Paris, when all the Ger.
man armies could be employed in overrunning
the whole of France, destroying all her re.
sources. would simply 5e suicidul She had
better make virtue Of necessity, gird hel
lons. submit 10 her hard fate, and, looking
to her history from the days of Charlemagne
put her hopes in the future.

The regalia Of the German Empire, long

be used during the approaching coronation of
King William as Emperor of Germany. First
In order is the crown, which measures just one
foot in height, and which is OF twenty-four and
twen,y-one carat gold, beset with pearls and
various other gems. To keep it from pressing
disaurecably close to the head OF the royal
wearer it is provited with a red velvet cap, or
lining. which is worn inside of it. The scep-
ter. which is of silver, gilt, is two feet long.
The point terminates in an acorn, around
which are clustered four oak leaves, two of
them being bent downward, while the other
two are inclined upward. Next is the Reichs-
apfl-this is what the Prussian eagle holds in
lis talons. II is hollow ball Of the finest gold,
about hands space in diameter, being three
and three-auarler inches across. This is encir-
cled by two rings, the one perpendicular and
the other horizontal. The first mentioned is
half covered with jewels, while the ring which
is placed horizontally is entirely covered with
them. On the top OF the ball is set cross, also
covere with gems.

therefore never safe for political party to ac-
cept its new converts as leaders. II IS ouly
the old and tried leaders, who nave always
been in its counsels aud laenllneu Will .eS H.
terests. that possess sufficient moral authority
TO be safe counsellors and guides. II 1t IS ne
cessarv to carry the party forward, they alone
ran lead such a movement without exposing
their fidelity to suspicion. Some of the old
Whirs and recent Republican recruits who
now act with the Democratic party are tne
most violent extremists among US. This Is
reason why the party should lean upon lts olo
leaders, whose consistent fidelity protects
them against suspicion when they counsel the
abandonment of dead issues. Fresh converts
are seldom sale counsellors. Having new
character to establish and a new confidence 10
gain, they are tempted to put on CLONES OF
last years cut and fashion as an atonement
for not wearing them when they were tne
prevailing style Of the party.
Stripped OF irrelevant accessories, Wnlch
only cloud and .ynfuse, the real question Is,
whether the democratic party will array ltse!I
against negro suffrage in the next Presldentlal
election. It Is ineXpedlent to DO so ior thlS
plain reason that in the next presidential
election the negroes will all vote. ana Oh SUCH
an issue every one of them would vote against
the Democratic candidate. If there should be
in the National Convention any Democrats
who desire the party to make an anti-negro-
suffrage platform, they will come from States
where the negro vote is so large that the plat,
form recommended by such delegates would
certainly lose their own States. ANY candl-
date who tries to get nominated by appealing
to that kind of sentiment. will solicit votes in
the convention which do not represent electo-
raj votes among their constituencies. ANY can,
didate who should get nominated on this issue
would be booked, not for an election, but de-
feat. ~
The important question is not who shall
vote, but what measures shall he adopted q S
a result of the voting. The Democratic party
wants sound currency, reduction Of taxes,
retrenchment of government expenses, aboli-
tion OF the protective tariff, non-interference
with the reserved rights of States, and for.
eirn policy consistent with the national
dignity and honor. II these great objects are
attained, 1t is of little consequence whether
they are attained with or without negro votes
Certain it is, that the negroes will vote in the
next Presidential election. If we can elect
our candidate In spite of their votes, negro
suffrage is nothing very formidable; but il ne
gro Suffrage is an insupcrable barrier to our
success, how are we ever to get power TO
abolish it? To make that an issue now, would
be an act OF political suicide.

rsneclal Dispatch to the New York Tribune.]
WASHINGTON, March II.
The removal of Mr.. Sumner from the chair
manship of the committee on foreign relations
continues as 1t has been for the past three days,
the exciting topic of conversation in all political
circles; and its probable effects upon the fil-
ture of the Republican party, and the renoml.
nation OF General Grant are freely discussea.
All Republicans, except few OF Mr.. Summers
personal enemies in the Senate, agree that the
occurrence is very damaging to the party, and
NAV prove disastrous; in short, that 1t was
cross political blunder. The Democrats are
highly elated about the affair. They say that
the denomination of General Grant is inevita-
BILE, because there is no man OF sulf1-
cient strength to oppose him, but that
his defeat will hollow as neces..
among the Republicans. Many leading Re
publcans, on the other hand assert that Cen
eral Grants denomination Is Now out OF the
question, and that 1t is necessary to begin 10
look about for more available canuluale, II
the party is to be saved from defeat. They
arr,le that the entire body of the New England
Republicans will be hostile to him on account
OF the Sumner removal. and that 1t has aliena-
ted also all the original anti-slavery men
throughout the country, who have always
formed the active working element oil the Rc-
publican party. There is already. much cam
vassing of the relative merits and popularity
OF many prominent public men, with view 10
their possible candidacy for the Republican
nomination. Among others the names OF Col
fax, Blaine, Sumner, Logan, Schenck AMI Cox
are chiefly mentioned.
From the Cincinnati comnercal.l
The least harm done by the removal Of Mr..
Sumner will be TO render the denomination OF
Grant, or at least his reelection, impossible.
Ii it does not bring into power party that
will revolntlonize the work of the past six
years, and put suffering Southern loyaists,
white and black, In jeopardy, it will be because
the Republicans in national convention have
the high courage to set aside the claims Of the
Grant family, and place at the head OF the
Presidential ticket in 1872 some one who has
no senators to punish and no brothers-in-law
10 reward.

FREEDOM FOR IRELAND.
A New National Irish Confederation
Projected-Addrcss Of the Fenian Ex-
lies.

The exiles from Ireland propose TO form
IN organization to be known as the Irish
Confederation, having Tor its OBJECT the
freedom of the Irish people. The direc-
tory OF the organization is to consist Of O'pon-
ovan. Rosa, chairman; Henry s. Mutually,
Thomas Francis Bourke, Edmund Power, and
Patrick Walsh. It's power is limited 10 the
United States, each State aud Territory consti-
tu,ing q district A general counc! is to be
formed, composed of one representative from
each State or district, and one from every So
ciey desrous OF aiding the object ci the con-
federation. The directory Is 10 be empowered
to transact all business connected with the
confederation, to conduct all correspondence
with parties in Ireland, and are TO make
yearly report to the general council. The
weekly dues are Fixed at ten cents each, ard
the initiation fee at one dollar.
In behalf of the Confederation. the eXi!es
have issued an address to the Irish people ol
America, in which they hold that their claiils
| to the peoples confidence were based on their
past records, and that theiI past experience
| in Ireland gave them a knowledge of the best
means TO employ lOT Tue SuppOIllilS anu
strengthening OF the cause there. This plan
of The Confederation was more simple and
con prehensire than any that had yet been
| advanced. AS the principal thing that could
| be done in this country was the collection OF
funds, and the Confederation proposed as
security that all funds collected should not 6e
misspent or misdirected. that each State OF
district should retain rs per cent OF all contrl-
| buttons, and the members OF the directory
would satisfy each representative TO the gene,
raj council that the funds would only be l,se'i
for the legitimate purposes ior which the or,
gan!zaiio1 was formed The directory had
| been limited to five, in order to prevent any
lreachery, as it was well known that England
would eXpend any amount OF money TO get an
| agent into the council. In conclusion, tae ad'
! dress stated that the only action the .Coniede.
ration would take in regard to American pom,
tics was that, In. the event OF the United STATES
being involved Fin war with England, 'ile

TIE VICTORY IN NEw HAMPSHIRE.
The Latest Returns.

WASHINGTON, March l6.
Nothing official received from New Hamp-
shire. but all advices confirm the Democratic
triumph.
CONCORD, March l6.
The Concord Statesman thus sums up the
causes of the Republican defeat: HAD Charles
.Sumnex not been forced from his place as
chairman of the Senate committee on foreign
relations, the Republican vote would have been
larger. Had the San Domingo scheme been
left to the operation of natural causes instead
of being pushed with unreasonable persistence,
1t would have been larger. Had Congress sue
ceeded in restoring our commerce to The I'M
portance it was before the rebellion, it would
have been larger; aud had some OF the land
grant bills, however wise aud just in them
selves, been diScreeny deferred until public
understanding had grown up to them, it would
havs been larger; and had all these causes OF
embarrassment been withheld we might have
carried the State by the usual majority in spite
of the decentralization produced in the party by
forcing upon it unpopular nominations made
In packed caucuses."
