marry to foreign princesses By vigorous
lashing, the World worked itself into a very
fair imitation of indignation over the ter
rible picture, and the ''bucelic" press, as the
Void politely dubs its country contempora-
ries, followed suit as we'll as they could.
They were all doomed, however, to en-
counter one very unexpected obstacle. The
Ku-klux, without whom the bill must lose
all its terrors, Immediately on the proclama-
ton by the President of his intention to
enforce it to the letter, began to skulk into
their hiding places. With an obtuseness
of political insight that cannot be too Sc
verely condemned, they refused to surrender
their blood as the seed of the Democratic
church. However effective the application
of the law to their cases might be, in firing
the Northern and Southern breast against
the authors of the law, it would leave them
where they could derive but cold
comfort from the triumph of the Democracy
or any other earthly advantage, and they
basely and ingloriouslv declined, however
much their party might gain by it, to be-
come corpses. This, naturally, is discourag
ing to the political hacks who were laboring
to make political capital out of the oppressive
operation of the law. If no chance is to be
given to suspend the writ of habeas corpus,
if the innocent murderers and rufians at
whose personal rights under the Oonstitu-
ton the law was aimed, perSlSJenJly
kept out of its range, why it will be very
hard work to keep up very animated fire at
the mere abstract letter of the law. The
American people are very busy set, and
they have great deal too much to do to
waste time in arguing over an enact
ment which bids fair to be dead letter
through its very effectiveness, to restrain
the liberties of no one, because all keep out
of its way, and to lead to no abuse of power,
because there arises no occasion to exercise
power under it.
We cannot undertake to help our Demo.
cratic contemporaries in this quandary. II
all comes of being on the wrong side. They
have lately seemed to have a realizing sense
of this fact, and their last step was in the
direction of O complete change. Perhap!
they make take it into their heads to come al
the way over. 1t is probably the only means
to relieve themselves of their present enbar
rassment. AS for the change 1t would require
in their attitude towards men and measures
that it is not worth a second thought, in th'
case of the WOrId, at least, which eighteel
months since denounced Mr.. Tweed as THE
and swindler, and now bedaubs with adula
tion everything about him, down to the yer.
diamonds on his daughters wedding shoes.

POPULAR MADNESS.

From the ~ Y. World.
The theory set forth by NJ. Francisque
Sarcey to account for the horrible excesses
which attended the brief deplorable civil war
of the Commune in Paris has been treated
both in England and in this country rather
cavalierly. 1t seems to be taken for granted
that poor M. Sarcey Is merely trying to make
out such q plea for his countrymen as has
become dismally common of late years in the
administration of criminal justice when he
protests that the Parisians were really driven
mad en- maSSe by the successive shocks
which they had received between June, 1870,
and May, 1871.
But if one will be at the pains of rejecting
a moment on the history of those awful
months NJ. Sarcey's explanation of these re-
suits will cease, we think, to be considered
mere refuge of patriotic vanity exasperated
by the contempt with which mankind to-day
regards the people whom year ago it es-
teemed ''frst among its peers" That whole
community should be affected with mental
disease is no more improbable than that
whole people should be affected with physi-
cal disease. An epidemic of lunacy is ante
cedently as natural phenomenon of human
society as an epidemic of the plague
or of the smallpox. History, too,
records as many instances of the one kind as
of the other. The religious manias of the
Middle Ages, which took shape In such events
as the terrible Crusade of the Children or the
frenzy of the Flagellants, are familiar in
stances of this kind. The Anabaptists of
Leyden and Munster perpetrated scandals and
atrocities quite as dreadful in their way as
those of the Commune or of the first French
revolution, and no sensible person has ever
doubted that they were driven on into these
extravagances under the goad of genuine
epidemic madness.
No race or tribe of men can claim to have
been exempt from this scourge 1t is very
we'll to sneer at the French people or at the
Parisians as liable above all men to such at
tacks of contagious fury as on NJ. Sareeyi
theory must be carried TO the account OF
dementia. But they were not Frenchmen-
they were Germans, who hardly thirty year.

WANTED-A DEMOCRATIC GRIEVANCE.
From the NJ Y, Times,


From the NJ Y. Times
1t is exceedingly touching to observe the
persistent fondness with which the Democra-
tic journals cling to the Ku-klux bill as a
basis for attack upon the present administra-
tion. They had pretty well exhausted the
common missiles of falsehood, and the poly
syllable shafts of the World were, if possible,
blunter than usual. The Government had
obstinately reduced the taxes without ham,
pering the revenue; the Alabama claims had
got themselves in so fair way for settlement
that neither the policy of the President nor
that of Mr.. Sumner was capable of charging
an ordinary political squib. And as for the
late amendments, they were fixed in the
fundamental law, and not a corporals guard
of Republican voters could be induced to
vote the Democratic ticket on the
ground that they ought not to be there. AT
this juncture the late Mr.. Vallandigham made
the bright suggestion that it would be well
to let all the old topics alone, "accept the
situation" as completely as the nature of the
average Democrat would admit, and open
fire on the Ku-klux bill The conservative"
press of New York-it likes to be called
conservative" for two reasons, first, because
the name is not in nearly so bad odor as
Democratic, and, second. because at heart
it is not Democratic at all,-the conservative
press hailed the suggestion as promising great
relief.
The bill was new bill. The people un-
derstood its object well enough, but not the
details of its provisions. 1t certainly placed
good deal of power in the hands of Gene
| raj Grant And it would be much easier
to make the public believe that it was
everything wicked and dangerous than it
would be to repeat the old arguments long
since exploded, the old charges long since
become disgusting. So the conservative"
press thought, and SO it commenced to act.
By liberal use of perversion and misrepre-
sentatioD, it endeavored to show that the
Ku-klux bill was species of coup d'etat, which
was preliminary to the appearance of General
Grant as ''The man on horseback with a
naked sword" who was about to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus, break up the courts,
summon ell inoffensive Democrats before
dTum-hes courts-martial, and by violence
and bloodshed pave the way to an imperial
throne, from which he would issue edicts to
90 obedient Senate, dissolve the House OF
Representatives, and govern the country by
means Of satraps, principally selected from
such OF his male relations as he did not
