ExAsPERATED at the hopelessness
of securing a reelection by fair and
free expression of the will of the peo-.
pie, the President has resolved upon
a bold and most wicked expedient TO
accomplish the perpetuation of the
reigning dynasty 1t isH published,
upon the authority of S nator Poole,
that Grant has expressed his deter
mination to declare martial law
throughout the entire South, and thus
by armed force and an organized sys-
tenn of terrorism, crush out the last
isemblance of liberty which yet re-
mains to the unhappy people of those
States. The pretext for this high
handed and outrageous procedure
and every intelligent man knows it is
but pretext of the fiimsiest SORTS
the prevalence of outrages in that Sec
ton, and the alleged inability of the
civil authorities. to enforce the laws.
The. real motive is to. continue the
present oligarchy in power. and pro-
long its opportunity to plunder, op-
press and harrass the people. While
we retain the outward semblance of
Republic, in reality we are rapid
ly drifting-or rather being driven
toward absolutism and, at the rate
at which we are going, it is not at all
unlikely that ere long similar state
of affairs may be inaugurated in the
North, and our State Governments be
superseded by military satraps, sworn
to follow to the bloody end the for
tunes of man who shows every indi-
cation, of disposition to
wade through slaughter to a throne,
And shut the gates of mercy on mankind. . e

Thanksgiying under Martial Law.

U. S. Grant, President General, has
issued proclamation appointing
Thursday, the Both day of November
next, as a Thanksgiving day, and rec
ommending the, people of the differ
ent States to meet together in their
places of worship and thank God for
the blessings he has conferred, and
for their merciful exemption. from
evils If the proclamation did not
also, suggest, that we should invoke
His protection it would be regarded
by many of us as cruel mot kerry.
When a large portion of the coLntry
is under martial law, part of 1T actual
ly and much more virtually, when
people are driven from their, fresides
and forced to abandon fields on which
they find it hopeless to gather their
haryests,; when there is no tranquility
at home, although there may be peace
abroad when many States are suf-
fering under an oppression greater
than that which conquering Germany
forces upon France; when the griev-
Gus calamities with which we are 5af-
ficted come from the very hand that
issues the proclamation, it does indeed
seem almost Q profanity. There are
many, doubtless, who will meet on
that day and bow submissively, i'm
ploring protection against ills Which
they cannot avoid, and invoking relief
from burdens which are too heavy to
bear. To them it will be day Of, fast
ing and prayer, and there viii doubt
less be more voices lifted in humble
supplication among those who really
suffer, than will be raised by those
whose hearts are toe, hardened to al
low them to be grateful for blessings
which they scarcely appreciate, and
certainly do not ltinaore

WHILE the Radicals throughout the
length and breadth of the land are
bowling and filling the air with their
lamentations over the peculations of
New York city officials, which alone
concern the people of that metropolis,
they are utterly obiiyious of the fact
that one Bailey, Radical Revenue
officer, after robbing the Government
of over half million dollars decamp-
ed to South America with his i'll got
ten gain, and that his Radical Loyal
League bondsmen have not been made
to refund tho amount stolen to the
Government. They are sorely trou-
bled about that which in no wise af-
fects or concerns them, but the twen-
ty or thirty millions distracted from
the peoples Treasury by Radical Off
cials in no wise excites their appre-
tensions, nor elicits their virtuous de-
nunciations. But, as the elections for
the year are now past, the country
will for time be relieved from list
ening TO their doleful dirges.

Abn.inr tha nrormona.

The high-handed proceedings of the
United States officials in Utah ought
to be checked at once. They are a
disgrace to the government and an
outrage on public decency.t Here is q
community, not in all respects inoffen-
siye to the general sentiment of our
people TO be sure, but guilty of no
sudden atrocity that calls for thissharp
and summary dealing. This peculiar
people, chose some years ago to regard
polygamy as q part of their religion.
How they justified the practice to their
own minds it is difficult to understand
but they were allowed to hold their
own faith and act in accordance with
it within the limits of the United
States. They. have been tolerated be-
yond the outskirts of the organized
States, and have built up f1ourishing
community in which we hear on good
authority of no fragrant abuses or
wrongs, save only this practice of plu-
raj marriages. This is apfaetiee which
the public sentiment of the country
strongly condemns, and for that very
reason tits doomed to die out. The
discovery of-mines, the construction
of railroads, and the general develop
menf of the resources in that territory
which. will attract large numbers of
settlers, would speedily make the in
stitations which characterize other
portions of the country predominant
there also, and the Mormons would
either have to seek isolation in new
place or go9down under the social an
tagonism which would be brought to
bear against it. In all probability it
would gradually die, out, but if any
trouble were caused by. its conflict
with hostile elements in society it
would be3time enough to deal with it.
We have no right to, visit them with
severe punishment now for trouble
which possibly may arise. Action
looking to the suppression of polyga-
my for the future and the gradual ex-
fiDction7Of its results should be taken
carefully and considerately, If the
Mormons are willing to accept the re-
suits of such action they sshouldUbe
left in peace. This sudden persecution
which will entail cruel results on hun
dreds of poor women and children

THE Democracy owe their defeat
in Ohio not to the strength of their
opponents nor to their own weakness,
but to their failure to bring their own
vote out to the polls They have
only themselves to reproach for their
misfortune Look at these facts: The
vote for Noyes for, Governor will not
exceed 237, 900. In 1867, four years
ago, the Democracy gave Judge Thur
man 24S, 600 votes. Even in 1868 they
gave Horatio Seymour 23e, 600 votes.
With the natural increase there must
be 260,000 Democrats, at least, in Ohio
Where would Noyes have been if this
Democratic vote, or't those of 1867 and
1858 had been given? OF course, if
our friends will not take the trouble
to turn out, they must expect to be
beaten. siizTts quo"

the Treaty of Washington ine relation
to the Alabama claims, fisheries, north

entirely to the advantage of Great
Britain. All that the latter has de-
sired she has practically. obtained, We
have no idea that when the balance is

ocratic victory in the Presidential
contest of the next year. In 1887 the
Democrats succeeded in nearly all the

son by tremendous majority; in
1S43 the Democratic party was badly
demorafized and generally defeated in
the State elections, but in 1874 they
elected James K. Polk, President. In
TS47 all went well with the Democra-
cy in the States and they went into
the Presidential year of IS48 with fiat

1851 the Wings carried the State cleo

succeeded in nearly all the States, and
in 1856 Mr.. Buchanan was elected by

Colonel David Stanton, Auditor Gen.

quantity of morphine into his arm
for the purpose of .quieting the pain
which had .become.f very severe, and

from which his wife found it impos-
sible to rouse him, and she called for
assistance Doctors jackson, McKin-
ney, Winans and Reed were summon
ed and used every effort to bring about
reaction, but without permanent
avail. He finally expired at the hour
above stated. 1t is the opinion of the
physicians that in making the injec-
ton of morphine he punctured blood
vessel, which owing to the peculiar
state of the system, was the immedi-
ate cause of the fatal and distressing
event He was in the ferty-second
