The "merrie" month Of May has come
and with it moving. housekeeping birds,
buds and warmer weather. The snow,
ice and frost of winter have disappeared
and all nature rejoices in the reality Of
new existence. From the earliest times
the month of May has been regarded with
peculiar feelings of pleasure and satisfac-
ton. In the middle ages il was custom -
airy, for all Glasses Of people to gather
flowers on the First of May. From Chau-
Ger, an English poet who lived in those
days we learn how the "May pole" fes-
tivities were conducted, how the most
beautiful damsel was chosen to be Queer
of the May" placed upon fowery hill
lock and crowned with garland of the
freshest and loveliest flowers, amid W hict
she reigned supreme in her beauty, and
received the adoring homage of her sub
jects. The advent of May brings alike
pleasure and annoyance; agreeables and
disagreeables moving from one house t.
another; cleaning down and preparing
for the summer. But despite all the cups
q nd downs" which it engenders, this ia
vorite month will ever be appreciated as
the harbinger of hope, and the welcome
announcer that the struggles of the sea-
SON are over and "the winter past anc
gone"

The London Times of Tuesday, editor
tally con graduates the United States, for
its proposition that the liabilities of neu-
trails shall in no case extend beyond the
direct sequences of neutrality. This it
is hoped will pave the way to a final,
amicable adjustment Of the difficulties
between the two powers. 1t is reported
that the English Government consider
the claims for indirect t;na :
drawn, and that complimentary illusions
to General Grant,wil be made by minis
terial representatives in both Houses of
Parliament, for the course he has adopt ed
in regard to such claims.

REV. A S. EDWARDS, once an employe
in this Office. and lately pastor of the NJ
e Chulch of Depere Wis, has returned
to this city. The church at Depere, being
small, was unable to retain and pay Mr..
Edwards a living salary, hence he was
obliged to look for the means of living
elsewhere It is not an easy matter for a
young man without means and with
growing family on his hands to study for
the ministry and to provide for his own
household. And, as he who does not pro-
vide for his own household, has denied the
faith and is worse than an infidel, Mr..
Edwards will probably feel that it is his
trst duty to provide for himself and fami-
ly, and then to continue to study for the
ministry as opportunity presents itself.
He has favored US with call last week
and the week before and manifested a
desire to work as writer, printer or preach
er, for fair compensation, but we cam OF
at present give him employment.
The above was written for last weeks
paper but lay over for want of room.

On the 5th Of June the Republican
convention is to be held in Philadelphia
The general expectation of both friends
and foes of President Grant is that he
will be renominated at that convention
It would not be wise to express a doubt
of any thing so generally expected and 50
manifestly obvious And yet it is barely
possible that Grant may not he nominated
by the Philadelphia convention Should
the Cincinnati convention nominate able
and popular candidates with a platform
not Objectionable to any of the dlffaren
parties, and should the New York cos-
vention renominate them, and should all
opposed to the re- election of Grant unite
harm oniously in their support, it is NOT
impossible that the confidence Of thePhil-
adelphia convention in Grants election
might become shaken, and that SOM"
OF her person may be nominated. But
all those apparent lmprobabllltles, not to
say possibilities, are not likely to hap
pen. 1t is just about certain that Gr4nt
will be renomlnated and just about 80
certain that he will be re-elect d. And
with the imperfection of the best of hui
man Governments and with The imposl-
bllity of electing perfect Rulers from

our stand point, that Grant should be re
nominated and re elected

A Boys ADvrcE.-Henry Clay never
liked TO see dumb animals worried, and
once, passing down an avenue, he des.
cried crowd at sport with blly-goat.
Mr.. Clay drove them away. As they
scampered, billy, seeing no one but Mr..
Clay within reach, made charge at
him. Clay dropped his cane aud caught
his goatship by the horns. The goat
then took to rearing up, being nearly as
tall as the tall Kentuckian himself, and
the latter had to pull him down again.
This soon became tiresomc: Clay could
conceive of no way to free himself; so
in his desperation, he sang out to the
boys to know what to do. One Of the
smallest of the crowd shouted back,
"Let 90. and run, You foolw Clay al

THE NAN WHO STOPPED HIS PAPER.
From the Philadelphia POST

Some of the Grant organs are dis
tressed about the pecuniary loss OF the
| Tribune since the nomination OF Mr..
Greeley, and are printing letters from
disguised people to show chow deeply
the 1ribune's subscribers are offended
by his dishonesty, and how they pro-
pose to make their Indignation felt"
One of these letters is from 'promln-
ent banker in Illinois, who thus relieves
his excited mind:
Il never expected to see man claim
ing TO be an American, 10 say nothing
about an honest man. but such is the
case with Greeley. Were he To with
draw tomorrow, and advocate the cleo
ton of Grant and Wilson up 10 cleo
ton day, would not, nor never will,
take his paper"
This fearful threat reminds US of a
story about Mr. Swain years ago, when
he was proprietor of the Ledger. BY
his course in regard to some public mat.
ter he had offended a number of readers.
one of whom met him on Chestnut
street, and thus accosted him:
"Mr Swain, I've stopped the Ledger"
"What is that, sir"
"Pve stopped the Ledger was the
stern reply.
Great heavens" said Mr.. Swain;
my dear sir, that won't do Come with
me To the office. This must be looked
into" And, taking the man with him,
he entered the Office. at Third and
Chestnut streets There they found
the clerks busy at the desks; then they
assembled to the editorial and compoS-
ing rooms, where all was as usual; final.
" they descended to the press rooms.
where the engines were ut work
Il thought You told me You had stop
ped the Ledger" said Mr. Swain.
$50 have" said the offended sub.
scriber.
"ld.n't sec the stoppasc. The Ledger
seems 10 be going on"
"Oh! | mean to say-that is, that Il
ah-had stopped taking it,"
Is that all :" exclaimed Mr. Swain
" Why, my dear sir, You don't know
how you alarmed me. As for your in.
dividual subscription care very little.
Good day, sir, aud never make such
rash assertions again
The ridiculous position in which this
man found himself is unconsciously as
sumed by such persons as the "promin-
cnt Illinois banker who evidently i'm
agnes his threat will convulse the Tn
bune Office with terror. But his sub
scriptions will not be missed. When
the PoJ, because of its convictions of
right and duty, declared Mr.. Greeley its
choice for the Presidency, large loss
Of subscribers was predicted. The
actual loss. on the contrary, was very
small, while our circulation has been
rapid and steady in every direction

THE NEW LAW REGULATING TEE AU-
DITOR'S OFFICE.

DlIORS OFFICE.
Act 40. p Of 1872, approved Iarch s.
limits the income of the Auditor to $50.
600 per annum. The general appropria-
ton bill, approved March .. 1872, gave
this officer about S3S, 900, of which Sis
600 is withdrawn by act No. 81
We regret this, as We fear Mr. Graham
will not be able to run his Office at a less
rate than $4,000 per annum. This re-
duction is in addition to official per
qulsites, which are supposed to amount to
about $4,000 per annum. SO that i'll
stead Of $4,000. as last year, the Auditor
will have but $4,000 this year.
The other portions Of the act (No. 2l)
meet our approval inasmuch as it RENTS
to the law officers of the State the ex-
elusive determination of legal and consti-
tutional questions.
The policy Of the Auditors appearing
in court, and instituting and defending
actions for and against him, may have been
Of benefit in exceptional cases, but, as a
whole, has, no doubt, been both detri-
mental and expensive, not to speak of its
ircegularity.

WHO Is THE DESPOT?

We hear and read large amount Of
nonsense about the despotism of Gov
ernor Warmoth and the Republican party,
but we do not hear or read much about
the real despotism that makes itself felt
when Judge Cooley finds responsible
political opponent in his power. This
leads us to suppose that it is not so much
the despotism that inks the Democracy as
the despot. They will put up with i'm
prisonment if the tyrant who orders
it is one of their own friends, and
they will kick up shindy with the
iberator if he does not happen to
be Of their way Of thinking Judge
Cooley deliberately sentenced a gentleman
to the Parish Prison for ten days, not for
any offense, because the man had purged
himself Of the offense by such an excuse as
is usually accepted by courts, but because
other men of his class have been in the
habit Of treating the Sixth District Court
with contempt, as they probably consid-
cred was its due. The judge said in his
judgment that the bankers, merchants and
business men had made practice of dis
regarding the orders of the courts. and he
intended to make an example of Van
Norden. Having allowed himself to be
treated with contempt by class. he Sc
lects for a victim comparatively innocent
man.
This we take to be the very essence of
despotism. OF all the sins that have ever
been charged against Governor Warmoth
or the Republican party it has never been
said that either of them ever put man in
prison, either for his own fault or for the
fault of others. That high handed act of
desI otisln was left to be perpetlated by
Democratic judge. And though the Gov
ernor and the Republican party are de-
nounced as despots and dictators, they did
not have the power to discharge citizen
from unjust Imprisonment, although their
own friends held the key of the prison
They patiently submitted to injustice until
the courts rectifed the iniquity that had
been committed by one of their own tribu-
nails. This is about as plain an answer to
the charge of despotism as we need at
present

MORE EVIDENCE IN OUR FAVOR.

Fifteen convictions under what is known
as the ku-klux law have already been
had in Alabama; about one hundred con-
victions have been had in South Carolina,
| and quite number have been had IN Mis-
| sissippi. Tie parties in most OF these
cases confessed to their guilt, and are now
in prison fulfilling the sentences which
were pronounced against them. Other
men who were arrested escaped through
the Ienlency Of the prosecuting attorneys
in entering up nol'e prosequs, or through
the favor of the judges in imposing merely
nominal penalties. in consideration of the
fact that the offenders We're ignorant men,
who were misled into the commission of
the crimes charged against them. Follow
ing upon the heel of these convictions. we
notice that meetings have been held in
different sections Of the South at which
responsible citizens attended to denounce
the violence of armed and disguised men
against the cOlored people and the whites
who have been prosecuted as their friends
We do not presUme that either the Times
or the Picay0le will deny any of these as
sertions, which are published as the solemn
rec 0rds OF the courts OF the United States
and of the interior press.
We recite these facts for the purpose of
sustaining the REPUBLICAN, in discussion
which it has long maintained with the
Times and Picopne upon the identical
subject of these outrages We declared
that the ku-klux was veritable organiza-
ton Of the most violent character and
that until it was extir, ated or prevented
from its abuse Of the colored people the
federal government would continue to
maintain a military and civil surveillance
over the South. We said further that the
respectable people Of the Southern States
We're opposed to this lawlessnes, but that
they We're too Indifferent or too cowardly
to arrest the desperadoes through their
own officers. The Times and the Pica2n,1,e
both denied the truth of our assertion. and
abused US as the slanderers Of the people
Of the South. They did not have the
patriotism to protest against an evil that
was doing immense damage to the South;
but they did have the weakness to attempt
to injure the REPUBLICAN because it full
filed duty that belonged as much to
them as it did to us.
What have they to say now that the
criminals are in prison. now that the facts
are established as we declared them to be:
now that respectable communities are pro-
testing against the Ku-Klux, as we advised
them to protest over and over again? What
decision will the people make as between
the Papers that have 1nisled them, and the
paper that told them the truth and gave
them good advice?
