1t is wonderful how suddenly the Demo
Gratis have transformed Charles Sumner into
a saint, hero and martyr. We should not
be surprised il they invited him to be their
candidate for President His only rival in
that party will be Wendall Phillips, who IS
much stronger in the denuncia:ion of Gen.
Grant than Mr.. Sumner. Which of these
two radical reformers are now ahead in Dem
ocratic circles it is hard to tell. Both have
been transformed, as if by the touch of
Aladin's lamp, into great and honest
men, where, as they were, bat few days
ago, all that is vile and dishonest.

Worth Remembering,

The course being pursued by the Democ-
racy, in the Pennsylvania Legislature, clear
ly demonstrates that they are playing des
perate game to defeat such legislation as
will directly effect the people in general, l. e.
the apportionment bill, the bill authorizing
Convention to revise the State COnstitu-
ton, and the appropriation bill, unless their
scheme to repeal or emascuate the registry
law is acceded TO by the Republican MAORI
ty in the House. This determination on
the part of the Democracy the force legis-
lation is revolutionary in its character; and
we hope that the Republican members in
the Legislature will unitedly and resolutely
spurn all advances towards a recognition of
this Democratic conspiracy. The Registry
law prevented the preparation of innumer
able frauds upon the ballot box since its
passage; and had the law applied to the
late special election for Senator in Phila-
delphia, Mr.. Lyndall would have been re-
turned by an overwhelming majority, and
the State and the people thereby saved the
humiliation of deadlock in Legislation
through the acts and votes of Mr.. Dechert
who holds the seat by frauds. The success
of Mr.. Dechert by the most unblushing
frauds, and the refusal Of the Democratic
majority in the State Senate to allow Mr..
Iyndall 20 investigate those frauds, are the
very strongest arguments in favor of retain
ing the present Registry law intact.
It is an indisputable fact that the people
Of Pennsylvania are in favor of Constitu-
tiOnal Reform to prevent many existing
abuses through special, as well as general
legislation and if their wishes are not real
lied at the present session of the Legisla
ture, it will be by the action of the Demo
cratic majority in the Senate, which has
thus far defeated every effort on the part of
the Republicans to accede to the wishes and
desires of the people. Then let the respon-
sibility of the defeat of all legislation for
the relief of the masses rest upon the guilty
authors, and not upon the Republican mem
bers who have battled manfully for the
rights of the people.

Affairs in France are rapidly approaching
a crisis. The Red revolutonists of Paris
are becoming more and more violent, and the
guillotine is even limited at; in fact, a des.
patch announces that that terrible instru-
ment is TO be'shortly erected and that the
houses of its victims have already been mark
ed The watchword of the Commune is ::
Death to the rich-death to the land own
ers-death to the priests" The Versailles
government has prepared a plan of attack
on the city, and the insurgents, to :orestall
them, contemplated attacking their armies on
Friday last When and how is this anarchy
to end? Better the restoration of the
humbled man of Sedan than a second reign

1t seems that matters do not go entirely
smoothly with the joint High Commis SION
The difficulty turns in part on the presence
of some tory element in the Gladstone Cab
met, and in part on the anxiety of Canada
20 get all she can out of the negotiations.
The tory element in England oppose any
concessions on the Alabama question, while
Canada opposes any settlement that will not
give her ample indemnity for the surrender
of her fishing advantages Thus difficulties
are engendered. But it is probable basis
OF compromise will be discovered, aud all
will yet be satisfactorily adjusted.

J. Q. Adams, of Massachusetts,, has dis
covered the key to q Democratic victory.
He says: Democrats must be Democratic
to succeed" If Democrats will only be
Democratic he promises them victory.
But then, after all that is the great Difficult
ty. Democrats are not Democratic, and
have not been for years. and under the
their leader, Blair, in Congress, there does
not seem much chance of their being Demo
cratic fcr some time to come. Under this
phase of the case, we suppose ]. Q. Adams
gives up all hope of success.
