The Hand That Saved La.

Two painters were employed to
fresco the walls of a cathedral.
| Both stood on the rough scaffoId
constructed for the purpose. some
forty feet from the floor. One of
them was so intent upon his work
that he became wholly absorbed
and in admiration stood off from
| the picture, gazing at it with intense
delight. Forgetting where he was,
he moved back slowly, surveying
ieisurely the work Of his pencil,
until be had neared the edge of the
| plank upon which he stood. At
this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly, and, almost par
alyzed with horror, bcheld his i'm
minent peril another instant, and
the enthusiast would be precipitated
upon the pavement beneath. If he
spoke to him, it would be certain
death if he held his peace, death
was equally sure. Suddenly he re-
gained bis presence of mind, and
Selling a wet brush, he flung it
against the wall, scattering the pic
ture with unsightly bIotches of coll
oring. The painter flew forward
and turned upon his friend with
fierce upbraidings; but starting at
his CHASTITY face, he listened to his
recital of danger, looking shudder-
ingly over the dread space below,
and with tears of gratitude blessed
the hand that saved him. Just so,
we som etimes get absorbed upon the
pictures of the world and in con
templating them, step bae kward,
unconscious of our peril, when the
Almighty, in mercy, dashes our
beautiful images to the ground, and |
draws US at the time we are com
planning of His dealings, into His
outstretched arms of compassion
and love. !

Urging Their Claims.

The Union and American says
that "a number of the Democratic
papers are beginning to urge the
claims of their respective favorites
tor the Presidential nomination by
the Democracy in 1872. This is,
perhaps, all very well, provided
our respected co -laborers in the
cause of constitutional government
do not become so deeply enlisted
in the cause of some political aspi-
rant as to forget the all Importance
of principle to ignore that other
aspirants have merits which de-
serve consideration. Should the
Conservative Republicans, from
whose ranks we expect to make
converts, find that the Democracy
are as regardless of principle as
the Grant politicians, and that our
struggle is simply for the loaves
and fishes, they will conclude that
there is but little iDducement for a
change in their party affiliations.
We must have men, and proper
men, to carry out the needed meas
ures of Government, but let us re-
member that the motto of the
Democracy is, measures before men.
1t is our duty to convince all men
that such is our motto, and that we
intend TO live up to it."

Pretty Good,

A radical remarked to the editor
ofthe Cincinnati Enquirer the other
day, that "the employment Of the
army of the United States, the
right TO suspend the habeas corpus,
the authority to proclaim martial
law, all of which is vested in the
President by the late Congressional
act to establish a dictatorship, in
order to suppress the klux in
the Southern States, was like a
buffalo bull hunting a grasshopper
on the Western Plains"

Saved by Masonry.

There is story going the rounds
of the press of q young man who is
a travelling agent for a Chicago
firm. Out in the far West he was
arrested, no explanation given in
answer to his demands, and he was
taken so miles into the interior,
where he was hailed as a horsethief,
and immediate preparations were
made for lynching him. In vain
he pleaded and explained. The
crowd recognized in him a notori-
Gus horsethief, and die he must.
BE tried to pray, for he thought
there was no hope. But even
while the moose hung over his
head, a blessed thought struck him.
Masonry would save him. He was
a Royal Arch Mason, and in all
that crowd there must be Masons.
He gave the Grand Hailing Signal,
and instantly prominent citizen
was at his side. More Masonic
Signals followed, and the victim
was surrounded by some thirty
determined men, who held the
crowd at bay with pistols. Tele-
grams were sent to Chicago, an
swers received, the mob convinced
that they had got hold Of the wrong
man, and all event merry as a
marriage bell" This is said to be
q fact

Capitalization.

The Radical party having clothed,
Grant With the powers OF a oieta 4
tor, aud reduced the highest iu-
dicial tribunal in the country to "a
political court some Of the more
discreet of the party are becoming
alarmed at the situation. The
New York Evening Post, (Radi-
cal, } in discussing the "Vote" in the
Supreme Court by which the pre-
vious decision in the legal tender
case was reversed, has the h onesty
and candor to say THE decision
immensely strengthens that grow
ing faction which advocates the
gradual Capitalization in the gen
eral government Of the powers
which were jealousy withheld
from it by its founders. 1t intro
duces, for the first time, into the
practice of orr highest judiciary,
the theory of Interpretation by
which all powers not expressly
forbidden to Congress by the Con-
stitution are regarded as belong
ing to it; and by which, therefore,
Congress is to be made as supreme
as the Parliament is in Great Brit
ain over the local laws and rights
of the people. Hitherto, the one
great barrier to the usurpaiion OF
the Federal Government has been
the Supreme Court, which has re-
fused to enforce acts not authorized
by the fundamental law. This
barrier now, in the most important
case in which it has ever been test
ed, is Withdrawn and the people
have no security whatever that
whenever political party may be
found reckless enough TO attack
their local liberties to any extent, !
under the forms of the general
Government, a political court will ]
not be found subservient enough to
enforce its DEGREES"

There is no Improvement in the
situation Of affairs in France. The
contest is still between the Yer
sailles Government, with Presi-
dent Theirs at its head and the in
surgents in Paris, with no one at
the helm. The opposition to the
Versailles Government seems. how

ifest determination never to yield
| Paris without street to street and
house to house fight of the most
desperate and sangainary nature.
They have imprisoned the priests,
bishop and archbishop, desecrated
and closed most of the churches
and cathedrals, sequestrated the
costly silver service and have
shown general defiance of all
law, order or religion. They are
endeavoring to follow in the foot
steps Of their predecessors, Marat,
Danton and Robespierre, but have
nothing in common with this
bloody triumvirate except lis
meanness and malignity. The
streets of Paris are beginning to
run with blood, all business is sus-
pended, and ali decent Frenchmen
who e9n get passports o.. ehmRth<
ramparts, are hastily leaving. In
the meantime, the Versailles Gov
ernment is pouring shot and she'll
into the city, and killing and
wounding the citizens The Com
munal Council, representing the
insurgents, is torn and distracted
| by the divisions and disturbances
amongst its members while the
National Guards who have been
doing their fighting, are reported
to be exceedingly mutinous and re-
beIlious. The first install ment
promised the Germans, long since
due, is still unpaid, and President
Theirs confesses his inability to
meet it So we may speedily look
forward to the appearance of the
Prussians upon the scene of action.
In the present state of affairs, it
would be blessing TO France, if
the mailed hand of Germany conld
be laid with force and power upon
the discordant elements in her
midst, and bring out of her potiti-
cal and social chaos, that order and
decent behaviour which France
herself seems to be incapable OF
preserving.

The Legal Tender Question.

Tho United States Supreme
Court announce unanimously the
validity of gold contracts made
since the passage of the legal ten
der act. But contracts made pre-
vious to that time, and necessarily
on a specie basis, may be Iiquidated
in greenbacks. In apurely "loyal'
point of view, the distinction thus
established is strikingly peculiar
The man who trusted the honor
and honesty of his country is made
to suffer while the man who
questioned its solvency, depressed
its credit and evaded its currency
laws by his contract, is to secure
the full benefit Of such eminently
disioyai procedures.
This decision concerning ante
war contracts puts millions IN the
pockets of the older corporations,
railroads, etc. 1t amounts to a boz
nus of ten or eleven per cent to
monopolies already dangerous in
their strength. The last refuge of
right thus follows in the wake OF
Congress. We are fast becoming
a mere government of the rich-a
miserable plutocracy. The peo-
pie cannot be aroused too soon
to sense of the situation.
