DANGEROUS ADVANCES.

The Democratic press is afflicted with
Sumnerism badly. It mourns over his
degradation in the most piteous strain.
It suggests that the Republican party
ought to be split all to pieces because Of
Mr.. Summers deposition. It is even will:
ing to be elected to Office because the
horrid Republicans went back on their
greatest man. We have no doubt this
grief is SO profound that, if the Democrats
could do it, they would defeat Mr.. Sum-
ner himself, on the postulate that in beat
ing him they would be beating his Repub-
lican enemies. This is disease that is
mot known to pharmacy, but it is CLASH
fed in the volume of hypocrisy as Of that
order Of kissing which Judas INDUCED in
toward those he intended to betray and
destroy at the earliest convenient moment.
Mr.. Sumner appreciates this little game,
and knows exactly how to measureit. Its
presence in community is the sign Of
great moral depravity.

CIVIL War n n1I1ATUlE..

Kentucky is falling still deeper into
trouble. The clans Of the Democracy that
hitherto only rushed from their hidden
hirs, with faces all masked and hands all
fierce and pistol laden, to rend the trem-
bling Republicans, are now, like the dogs
of Action, devouring their masters. The
Louisville Courier-Journal, which was in q
fair way to introduce some sense Of po-
itical decency among the Bourbons of
Kentucky, excited the ire Of the Ku-Klux,
who only excel by being indecent. They
swore that the State should not be re-
deemed from the depravity in which they
had cast her, and which suited them be-
cause it is always easier to be indecent
than respectable. War was declared upon
the Courier-JournaL The Ledger was
started to exterminate this traitor to ter
rorism. The muss is now at its height.
Like all civil wars, it is venomous. The
partisans are SO bitter that they are both
hugging the negro, which was the original
cause of the row.

This was little lower than the trans

the sale was effected there seemed to be

on the eve Of another rise.

AR1sTooRAr1o READING.

The New York World which is fero-
cious Democratic organ, furnished its UNI
washed readers with nine columns of
nonpariel matter on the morning Of the
twenty-second of March, describing the
marriage of Princess Louise, of England,
with the Marquis of Lorne, of Scotland,
which took place at Windsor Castle on
the twenty-6rst. In addition it furnished
an editorial on the subject and threw in,
by way of ldgniappe, two columns con-
corning the history and pedigree of the
royal family of Great Britain. Tho fol-
lowers of Boss Tweed are given to an
aristocratic kind of reading if this is the
sort of news that feeds their appetites.
Perhaps the Boss proposes to set up a
similar aristocracy in Washington when
Tammany Hall has captured the United
States Treasury Department, and that
this descriptive matter is designed to in
struct his followers how to behave on
such an occasion.

How far England remains behind in the
race Of liberal ideas may be inferred from
q fact which has just transpired in Lon
don. A sharper visited the house Of q
jeweler, and examined some diamonds.
He ordered some Of the most valuable to
be sent to his rooms for inspection by his
wife. The jeweler performed the order,
but while he was in the rooms of the
sharper. the woman suddenly thrust into
his mouth q powerful anesthetic, and the
man caught and held him down. He was
bound by the woman, and left in this
condition, the sharper taking the dia-
monds and departing for the continent.
The jeweler recovered from the stupefac-
faction. and made complaint. The woman
WAS captured and put upon trial. The

HOW CHANGED,

There was time when the Louisville
journal ranked high as a literary Journal
and welded much influence in politics.
Its editorials were then written by q
man whose Wit and genius were acknowl-
edged and admired by all parties
that man was George D. Prentice. TWAS
deemed an honor to be attacked by him,
for he never descended to low scurrility.
By the elegance Of his language and his
polished wit he might be said to immor-
talize even those whom he attacked.
But George D. Prentice has passed
away has gone to that bourne
whence NO traveller ever returns. And how
changed is the Louisville Journal since
the spirit of Prentice has winged its way
into those celestial abodes set aside for
Just men made perfect
The Louisville Journal is now called the
Courier-Jouunal, and instead of the pol
ished Wit and elegant diction that for
merly graced its editorial columns, the
public are now treated with literary gems
of the following style:
Alack, Ben Butler! Things are very sad
for him. We are told by the minstrels that
'sit isn't pleasant sailing ON the stormy
Massassip;n but it turns out that the quiet
old Kennebec has its dangers too. In the
Speaker Of the House, who, though lineal
descendant of 'sOh, poor Mary Blaine" is .
sort of spiritualised and educated Jim
Bludso," the Member from His Back Yard,
has struck snag. Even the Ku-Klux are
not Able to save him. The role Of the bully
is played out. Thaddeus Stevens il dead.
Ben Butler is mighty 80. Presently we shall
say, ssthe late Ben Butler" Indeed, Butler
il an unfortunate name in modern annals,
albeit q name famous in history. With But
Ter of Nebraska impeached, and Butler of
Tennessee disgraced, and Butler Of His
Back Yard dead cook in the pit, the sur
viving holders Of the good old name have
reason to say with Shakespeare,
Tits name misfortunate
And full Of danger the State"
just think of it. s'Thaddeus Stevens
is dead; Ben Butler is mighty So" How
poetic and prophetic this language, and
vet how different the inspiration it
breethes from that Of the immortal Prem
tice? How changed, indeed, is the tone
Of the paper since it passed out Of the
hands Of one who commanded the respect
of friends and foes alike, and whose
flashes Of wit are followed by such flashes
as this:
The New York Smn i kind and free in
| advising us. But really We can't do it.
| AK US to dig up the bones Of Ossawatomie
Brown, and we1l consider it; but mot Charles
Sumner. It would not be lovely to run

Stanly Matthews, a. proposed By the Gin
cinnati Commercial Give US Fed Douglass
or Revels, of Mississippi, or Daddy Grant,
or even George Francis; but say We are not
ct home, or sick or dead, when Sumner
i calls.

Journal is Democratic paper, and that il
