THE Richmond Enquirer thinks it is
difficult for Southern people to please
the present Administration. Former
ly they had no registry laws in Vir-
ginia; but in order to conform with
Northern ideas one was passed which
imperatively requires the commission
ers to reject every ballot offered by
persons not on the registry lists. And
now the Congressional enforcement
bill directs that any person entitled to
vote shall be permitted to do so
whether he is registered or not. -Four
commissioners of election have been
arrested in one ward in Richmond
and bound over. for trial, for refusing
at the recent election to receive the
votes of negroes who had not been
registered. Last fall gentlemen from
various parts of the State were
brought to Richmod and examined
before the United States Commission
er on similar charges; and though
they were all discharged, they were
put to great inconvenience and ex-
pense by the proceedings instituted
against them. Such measures GER
tainiy tend to irritate and annoy the
people, and to promote unpleasant
feelings toward the North.

NOBLE rWoRDS.-We extract the
following eloquent paragraph from
the Fourth of July Grafton delivered
by Hon. S. C: Simpson, at Corvallis,
and which was published in the pa.
pers of that city last week:
oh fellow Americans. "a we love
our country and desire her peace and
prosperity, as we love our liberties and
would preserve them inyiolate, let US
honor this anniversary as our fathers
honored it! AS the years of time go by,
and the memories that cluster around
it thicken and multiply, let each sue
cessive return TO it be hailed with. a
deeper giadness and a wilder cuthusi-
this barrier against the excessive
growth of political jealousies aud ami
mositiesi Surely of all men, We of this
land and day have the greatest reason
{ to know and dread the evil power of
unrestrained party-spirit. Once al
ready in our history has that demon
broken his prison bars and ragged up
and down our valleys, brandishing the
torch of civil war and working his own
Will will. And not until earth and sea
shall give up their dead will the fiend-
ish work of that awful time be undone.
Oh may the Laif million graves that
dot our land. me'uentoes of that frat
ricidal contest remind us forever to
honor this day. AMI TO cultivate and

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN-s1rs.
Duniway's Weac No7threst of last
week says If Bill Watkinds had been
woman and Sam. Clarke chad been
bland and smooth-tongued libertine
who had wrought her ruin, how diff
ferent would have been the so-called
fiat of justice"
We should think it would make
Bill shudder with horror at: the bare
possibility of such calamity! Think
of what might have happened to him
in case of that kind He actually
becoming the mother of Sam. Clarke's
child Whew! Bill ought to feel
glad that he has escaped with his
virtue, as it is.

JOHN A. BINGHAM, ex-Congress-
man from Ohio and the prosecutor of
Mrs. Surratt, the murdered innocent,
made speech at Salem last Saturday
night. When such true men rs Val
landigham are cut down in the glory
of their days, and murderous Bing-
ham is permitted to stalk the earth
and preach politics to decent people.
there appears to be something wrong
in the word. With the blood of a
Christian woman clinging to his skirts,
and the gibbet upon which her appeal
ing face was forever shut out from
the light of day staring him in the
face, he ought to sink covering to
earth in humble contrition, instead of
stalking through the land as living,
breathing witness of his own and his
confederates' atrocity.

illegally adopted and ought to be re-

INTEREST TT. .PnILiiiOs::AI I DUTY,


There is clxss-of sporsons who
lisavow any interest in the politics of
the country. and Who advise Others to.
dolikewise@aad give their whole at
..entiors tS-sbusincss: Such persons
mean well, no doubt, bdt they are
clearly mistaken in regard to the du.
ties sof Ahseiean citizenship. The
cousse they adopt for themselves, and
advises Others TO pursue, can hardly he

none of the responsibilities Of citizen.
ship; for every business man should
desire to be well informed touching
all subjects of general interest, politics
included; and this information is
often of the very firstimportance With
reference to business itself. At,the
present time, for example, the mer-
chant or capitalist whosfoes not watch
the progress Of POLITICAL events, is liz
able totbe much amiss in his calcula-
tions. In.. the present condition OF
our monetary affairs. the capitalist
might be induced TO engage in wild
schemes ofspeculation, with the n.tu-
raj expectation of adding largely to
his wealth, and erroneous plans and
probable loss would be the natural re-
suit. But if he. had the sagacity to
keep himself well informed in the
wider range of influence which affect
public credit; he Would preceive that
the disturbed condition of the politi-
cal situation might Offset and more
than offset the effect of the favorable
aspect just alluded to.
But laying aside the business aspect
of the case and looking at politics
solely with reference to the solemn
responsibilities of American citizen
ship, how can any right.minded man
say that he takes no interest in politi.
cal affairs? Is not our government
one of self government by the people:
Can it be carried on and all the vast
and varied interests of great coun-
try like ours be looked after, fostered
and protected, without intelligence
and careful attention in the adoption
of needful measures? And can this
intelligence and attention be had, il
citizens stake no interest in politics p
The mere statement of the PROPOSE
ton must make its error plain to every
one. American citizens must take an
interest in politics or they will soon
have no America to be proud of We
do not refer In these remarks to mere
partisanship. We ask nothing of that
sort. We do not insist that citizens
must be partizans. Far from it
We wish there were less of this and
more of intelligent, unbiased political
judgement. II would be great i'm
provement on the present condition.
And we should have more of the
latter and less of the former if people
would make it a matter of serious,
constant duty to keep themselves
well informed in reference to
all questions of public nature
This they should do; and it is an
evil day for Republican government
when the people decide to do other
wise, or from lack of interest or other
cause fall into the habit of discarding
politics.

The Rev. Thomas K. Beecher is srgu-
ing 10 favor Of capital punishment. De
says, ITO send a man out OF this world
70 give an account Of himself before the
Judge Of all the earth, has never seemed
70 us a very great hardship or eruelty."
Yes, but Tom, how does il seem 70 the
man himself? That portion Of the hang
ing which is performed by the officiating
clergyman is perhaps no great hardship.
But the neck that is checked, the body
that wTithes, the eye-balls that start from
their sOcLsts, the heart that swells and
breaks in peut-gp rsge-an this may
possibly seem 10 the victim something
like Hardship and cruelty." But OFT
doubling Thomas is kind In n re-
spect to the criminal. He sends him 70
heaven instead o hell. he says, Sod
receives the .eKpslled culprit." This Is q
great advance on the orthodoxy which
teaches that, in such cases, the poor man
goes % the devfl.-GoldeH Age.

We publish this week the message
Of President Grant transmitting the
Report Of the San Domingo Commits
siORels 10 Congress. II will be OBJ
served that the spirit in which the
President alludes 10 the San Domingo
question is quite different from what
might have been anticipated by the
representations Of Senator Sumner
and his sympathiEers. The President
does not seek to force Congress to
adopt my policy in hot haste, but
recommends that action be deferred
until the next session of Congress,
and the people have had time 10 in
dictate their wishes to their represen-
tatives. The good common sense, the
prudence and practical wisdom Of
President Grant stand forth ~eonspieu-
ously in the suggestions of his mes
sage, and it is altogether probable
that Messrs. Sumn& Schurz & Co.,
who have so violently ~assailed him.
with the manifest desire to destroy
the public confidence repOsed in the
President, will discover ere long that
the little whirlwind they stirred uu
has hOisted themselves quite out Of
sight.
