TRUTH PLAINLY TOLD.

The New York Post, says an Eastern
exchange, is paper which the Democrats
regard with great deal of respect 1t
passes for authority with them They
quote from it approvingly. Especially do
they consider it honest and candid in poll
ties. Its late articles against the admins
tration have met their profoundest appro-
baton. While we have no particular
liking fer the political course of the Post,
we are ready to give it credit for a good
thing when it is deserved IS we have
not seen the following article from the
Post copied in any Democratic paper, we
cheerfully copy it so that the Democrats
who read our columns may see what their
favorite authority says about them. They
must admit that it is truthful picture
though they may not feel much fattered
by it:
"What is the use of the Democratic poll
ticians thinking of the next Presidential
election Do they imagined that the
American people will put into power
party which has been an unmitisated
nuisance, breeder of disorder, corrupter
of public virtue, the debaucher of politics,
the friend of every wrong and oppression,
the fomenter of violence and rebellion. for
more than dozen years-do they believe
that the people will put such party in
power unless it first shows, by unmistak-
able evidence, that it has irmer purpose
than Falstaff had, to "purge and live clean

Opening of the HTont Cenis Railway.
A telegram from Italy which we publish
this morning in another column announces
the successful opening of the Mont Gents Rail-
way. The labor of years is thoroughly ac-
complished. The Alps have been pierced,
tunnel through them has been constructed,
and trains, carrying passengers and merchan-
dise are running beneath those lofty noun
tains whose rugged and rocky sides seemed
almost impossible barriers set up by nature
to defy the passage of human progress.
France and Sardinia were the first nations to
perceive the Importance of railway beneath
the Alps, and those countries, together with
Italy, bound themselves to carry through an
accomplishment which stands prominent
among the great achievements of the pre-
sent century. The labor was so stupen-
deus that it was at one time feared it
could never be successfully accomplished.
Innumerable difficulties were constantly al
legged to show that if the mountains were
tunneled that even then all obstacles would
not be overcome. Imperfect ventilation and
the intense heat of the tunnel were among the
stories industriously circulated, with the view
of showing that the vast expenditure of time,
money and skill would all 60 for naught. Like
many similar representations which preceded
others of the great achievements of human skill
In the history of the century, these also have
proven erroneous, and the Mont Gents tunnel
and the railway which runs through it have
realized the most sanguine expectations of
those who conceived it and had faith in its
practicability. The total amount expended in
the construction Of the work is So, 250,O0O. In
order to hasten on the work the French gov
ernment agreed to pay $3.50, 900 if the work was
accomplished within twenty years, dating from
1862, and if the work was done at an earlier Pc
rod France still further bound herself to pay
twenty five thousand dollars year for every
year gained. 1t will thus be seen with what
activity and energy the work has been con-
been realized in consequence, for with
the sums obtained by reason of the
time gained, together with the amount
contributed by the Northern Railway
of Italy-one million of dollars-on the CON-
pletion of the work, the balance of the moneys
which make up the sum total for the construc-
ton of the tunnel amounts only to nine hun
dred and seventy-fve thousand dollars. The
end is now gained, the railway is success,
science has triumphed, and peaceful result
has been accomplished in the successful open
ing of the Mont Gents Railway.

THE HEALTH OF QUEEN VICTORIA. Queen
Victoria, we have known from series of
cable dispatches, has been quite ill., 1t
now appears that she had been suffering
from an abscess, which has been successfully
opened, and that she is progressing satisfac-
torily. 1t is gratifying to many in this coun-
try, as well as to the many millions of Her
Majesty's subjects at home and abroad, that
the life of the Queen is spared and that her
health is likely to be established. To the
British nation, in these peculiarly trying times,
the death of Queen Victoria would be an irre-
parable loss. 1t is notorious that the heir to
the British throne is not popular with any
large section of the people. His advent to
power is~not eagerly longe1 for. Many good
judges are of opinion that his reign will be
disastrous to the monarchy. History will
speak approvingy of the reign Of the good
Queen Victoria. 1t will be we'll if her reign,
already long one, be greatly protracted.
We congratulate the British government and
people on the prospect of the Queens restora-
ton to health.

DIAMONDS IN DAKoTA.-.It is given out
that splendid rough diamond, valued at a
hundred thousand dollars, has been found
among the pebbles of one Of the hills of
Dakota. Why not, when nearly all the
known minerals and precious stones in the
world have been found in our new States and
Territories of the West? Moreover, from all
that we have heard and read about it,
Dakota in its geological features very much
resembles the diamond district of South Africa,
belonging apparently to the same ancient
geological epoch aud Of the same formation as
the Orange River region. And yet, so inde6-
mite and uncertain is the evidence as to the
existence Of diamonds in Dakota, that rather
than recommend our enterprising but PEN
niless young men to 60 into the business of
searching for those diamonds, we would
advise them to ego out West and buy farm. y

himself and appealAo the public for his justif-
cation. This would remove every obstacle to
thorough reorganization Of the city govern
ment would satisfy the people, restore credit
and give us an entirely new departure. We
have no doubt Mayor Hall would in the end
receive his reward by renewal of public
favor. There are no. lack of efficient
and honest men in the city--such men
as Judge Bedford, Recorder Hackett and
others we might name-who have served the
people faithfully aud who are fitted to take the
control of affairs. The breaking up of the
power of Tammany and the reproach brought
upon the democratic party probably settles
the question of the next Presidency. General
Grant will most likely be reelected and the
republicans hold the federal government for
another term not that the people are entirely
satisfied with the republican party, but they
are willing to take what they consider the
least of two evils. The time is coming, how
ever, and is not distant, when there must be
reorganization Of parties upon new political
issues. The South, seeing the inability and
failure of the Northern democrats, and being
dsgusted with the carpet-bag radicals, may
take the lead in the new movement, and
by the influence Of the negro vote regain
that power in the federal government which
it held for so long time previous to the war.
The liberal-minded statesmen of that section
are evidently prepared for some such move
ment; and if they will throw overheard such
old Bourbon politicians as JEFF Davis, Alex
ander H. Stephens, Toombs and the rest, they
may succeed in re-establishing the political
power in their section before 1876. The time
is opportune, too, for the democrats of this
State who are not bound up with the Tam
many Ring, as we'll as for those independent of
the existing parties, to initiate such new
reform movement as the South can readily
cooperate with. Able leaders with far-reach-
ing views are alone wanted-mcn who will
leave the dead issues of the past behind them
and make a political programme out of the
living issues of the present. Let the earnest,
honest and patriotic young men Of New York
move in this matter, and greater power
than Tammany may yet rise in its place.
