The Aim OF the Liberals.

1t has been seen and acknowledged by
discerning men in this country, during
the recent drift OF the government to-
wards centralization with the prevailing
corrupt:ons pervading its administration,
that out one thing could arrest the down
ward tendency-viz an awakening of
the apparently slumoering public virtue
nnd moral sense of the people Such
things there were, not many years ago.
and the query was, are they torpid for q
season, or sleeping the sleep of death
It was felt, while the terrible revelations
Of the New York Custom House were be-
ing laid before the public; while the
shocking robberies of the South through
The State governments We're perpetrated,
under the terror of northern bayonets :;
and while the nests of corruption IN and
about the departments at Washington
were be-that unless these spec
tacies produced reaction. the hope for q
tree government in the future must die
out in the minds Of intelligent men. For
il official position carried with it no high
er incentive than to be made the means OF
euijching its possessor and immediate
friends, and 10 be dropped like a squeezed
orange-then vas it felt that the govern
ment and the public virtue that founded
and sustained it, must be buried in one
grave
The present political outlook gives
promise OF an awakening that will stay
the tide Of corruption and the departure
from the old time notions of honesty and
accountability. Ii commences in lust the
rlght place, among the members OF the
dominant party, and starts with leaders
upon whom the conviction of the impend-
lng danger has forced itself They have
sounded the alarm, ana proclaimed the
determination to organize in opposition to
the administration that fathers and fosters
these dangerous practices.
The chief specifications IN the charges
brought against tie administration, are

fuller Information and clearer ideas con-
cerning the Alabama treaty and the claims
Of the United States under ii. the belief
becomes better established that John Bull
IS IL a serious dilemma He is willing
enough to pay the actual value of the
ships and property destroyed by the rebel
cruisers sent from England, and would
think that he got off cheaply-as indeed
he would. But behind it there looms up
another question of much greater magni
tade, and fuller OF portents to our friends
over the water. It is the very one which
England protests that the Geneva arbitra-
ton shall not pass uoon-viz Shall ma
ton be held accountable tor it's violation
Of national obligations III such cases, be-
yond the cash value of the property de-
stroyed? If it be decided in the aft rma-
tive, then we have al immense bill for
damages against England If in the neg
alive, then in any future wars in which
England may engage we are at liberty to
send ont armed cruisers under the flag of
her adversary, destroy her commerce,
and take our chances tor the damages
that many be proven. And yet again,
should England withdraw from the arbi-
tration, refusing to submit the question,
the advantage is still with us in the face
OF the world, as the party adhering to the
provisions Of a solemn treaty.
The furry which agitated England some
time ago, resulted from this state of things.
1t was the first clear view of the impend-
ing trap which our friends across the
water had set for themselves-the pit
digged for US, into which they have really
fallen. No wonder it caused CONSERVATION,
and an outcry that England must with
draw. But when the consequences of with
drawala are considered in all their extent, the
British public and government must see
that it leaves the fatal question unsettled,
and not only unsettled, but sustained BY
the weight of England's example in favor
OF sending our cruisers. To halt is as
dangerous as to go on. We will be equal
ly satisfied with verdict for or against
US, but we want decision of some kind.
A recent dispatch from Washington
gives an insight into this purpose of our
government. Speaking of the demand
for consequential damages, it says
| Our Government has no objection to the with
drawing of the demand if Great Britain will
agree that in case she shall war with any other
country no demand shall be made on the United
States for consequential damages tor any act
committed by Americans similar to the depre-
dations of the Alabama and other rebel cruisers.
This shows that there is an eye on the
possibilities of the future.

Rockwell, Chief of the Old Mormon Dan

for fear of arrest for high crimes. turned
up last night and for hours made the sa-
looms and streets resound with exultant
yells ard vile expressions. A citizen re-
marking that if q Gentle was m the place
OF Rockwell he would at once be dragged
to prison, he was outrageously abused by
party OF Mormon policemen. one of
whom threatened to cut his heart out. A
general excitement ensued. Mapy Gen

a while serious quarrel was imminent.
The first blow however, was not struck

THE GRANT DEMONSTRATION. The
friends Of the administration, perceiving
the need of an Offset to the enthusiastic
Liberal Republican gathering in New
York, got up a meeting on Wednesday
evening. They got more than they ex.
pected. The Liberals fairly took possess

fice-holders. A reporter gives few in

there arose immense cheers all over the house
Somebody called for groans for Greeley. They
were responded to very slightly. This was
immediately followed by another person rising
in the middle OF the hall and calling, at the ton
of his voice for three cheers for Horace Greeley.
The whole house suddenly rang with tremen-
dous cheers. They were repeated until the
Chairman camored for order. This scene was
so significant that somebody called for cheers
for the President of the United States, U. s.
Grant, but the response was not by any means
so hearty as that given for Greeley. While
Senator Wilson spoke there was an absence Of
enthusiasm, reminding one of the presence of
an iceberg, and when poor Morton began his
address one-half Of the audience had left the
ball.

A memorial signed by number Of
Estern ship-owners, ship and 9TH
ers interested in shipping. has been pre-
sented by Senator Sumner demonstrating
against the passage by Congress of Ship
ping Commissioners bill now pending 10
the Senate. Among the objections cited
is one to the effect that the law would be
direct interference in the private rights
OF the employer and employee, and an
additional onerous tax upon the already
overburdened tonnage of the country,
besides creating horde of needless office
holders over our vast sea-board.

The ftiaenlio of Murder

Some very curious inquirer into the
moral aspects of society occasionally
raises the query-Is the world growing 9
better or worsep However it may be
with regard to those acts which do vio-
lenc to the rights of property and kindred
matters, it must be confessed that regard
for the sanctity Of human life has lament
ably fallen off. This may be owing ia
some degree to the immunity which re-
cent verdicts justifying homicide have
have had on the public mind, and the
consequent belief on the part OF ignorant
and passionate persons that assassination
may be made to eXplate private wrongs
This has had its effect, but cannot be
made to stand sponsor for the terrible
prevalence of crime that the thoughtful
observer sees and laments, but cannot ac-
count for.
The time was when cool and deliber-
ate murder perpetrated anywhere in
Maine would throw the whole State into
Il ferment of excitement and wonder at
the magnitude of the crime Those who
can recall the Coolidge murder of twenty
five years ago, will remember the wild
excitement of the community over the
crime, the eager desire for the minutest
details, and the absorbing interest in the
trial But murder has now become SO
common that its occurrence scarce creates
a ripple on the surface of our daily life
