no power. the police. the State Courts and
nearly all the State authorities being insym-
pathy with Governor Warmoth. If Governor
Warmoth should now be driven from power it
will be by the same instrumentality originally
used 10 install him in power. There seems to
be retributive justice in this as we'll as in the
action of Warmoth towards those who be-
slowed arbitrary powers upon him for their
own purposes. But the prospect seems to be
that Governor Warmoth will not yield. and
from the character of the man we are only too
apprehensive that at any moment. by coun-
ter coup ON his part. collision between the
federal troops and the State authorities may
be precipitated.
We have been for some days looking
for q violent outbreak of this kind in Ver-
saiIles, for France is the land of sud
ments. But although the Frenchmen have
had far better cause for trouble than have
the people of New Orleans. they have sue
ceeded in preserving law and order and in
carrying on their government peacefully and
decently. 1t has been reserved for the me-
tropolis of the South to emulate Paris in her
worst days aud to bring discredit upon repub-
lican government The whole affair is o dis
graceful scramble between two ambitious
politicians, SO greedy for power rs to be reck-
less what disgrace they nfict upon the coun-
try, what misfortunes they bring upon the
people, in their effort to secure success. Our
special Washington dispatches state that Presi-
II
indecent conflict and avows his determi-
nation not to suffer the interference of the
United States troops unless itbecomes matter
of necessity to maintain the law and protect
the people. The country will applaud the
President for this determination. The error
that has been committed by the Kellogg party
has been in placing federal bayonets round
the State Capitol and seizing forcibly upon the
State government Governor Warmoth is
known to be a reckless and unscrupulous man.
and he would have found no sympathy on the
part of the people of the United States
in his bold attempt to usurp authority or to
stretch the laws to his own purposes. But the
example set by the men who have thus hastily
invoked the violent interference Of federal
troops is full Of danger and repugnant to the
principles of free government The actors in
the drama evince their sense of the unpopular
character of their course in their efforts to
cover up the fact that it was the State
House they seized-the halls Of legisla-
tion and the Executive Chamber they in
vaded with armed troops Senator Kel-
logg, in his interview with our special cor
respondent last night, was evidently anxious to
avoid responsibility for the revolutionary coup.
The best thing President Grant can do is to
give positive orders to General Emory to
stand neutral between the parties and to leave
them to fight out the battle they have pro-
voked among themselves. As the President
says, it is a disgraceful scramble, and federal
interference for one party or the other will
only make the disgrace deeper.

The MIFFLrN RAILROAD DISASTER The fatal
railroad disaster on the Pennsylvania Central
road. near Miflin, appears to have been
simply au unqualified murder. The train
that was run into, although an express, was
half an hour behind time. The train which
ran into it was half an hour ahead of time
Thus the two trains, which ought to have
been one hour apart, by criminal careless
ness or recklessness in each, were brought
together and smashed up and the unfortunate
passengers were smashed up with them Mr.
w. w. Dantz, who was killed, was door
keeper Of the House of Representatives. His
wife and child, it will be remembered, were
also among the slaughtered. The men who
were executed in Brooklyn and Washington
yesterday were not more cruel than the persons
in charge of these two trains. Indeed, the
former took single lives; the crrelessness of
rhe latter cost several, and stood chance of
taking many more. Yet, probably, this rail-
road butchery will, as usual be suffered to
pass quickly out of memory, and the guilty
parties will escape unpunished.

. A cold Island.

There IS another gold speculation in
The wind which is expected to realize
SO, 600 600 at a very small cost in a
very few years. This is to be done by
a stock company with capital Of 81,
500, 600.
1t was an enigma where the gorgeous
South American monarchs got the gold
with which they bnilt their gold pal
aces. 1t is suggested that this riddle
has been solved aud we give the facts,
as reported, which led 70 the supposed
solu'ion
Fourteen miles off the coast of Ven
ezueIa, latitude II deg. % min. 80
sec. north longitude 20 deg. II min.
west lies the island Of Aruba-thirty
miles long, and ten miles wide, and
rocky, barren and desolate. This un-
slightly blotch on the face of the blue
sea is said to be an island of gold
richer in the precious metal than all
the ancient and modern gold fields put
together, or even, than the fabulous
golden quarries.
Itis possible that this may be an
other South Sea speculation, but hard
lv probable. There appears to be little
doubt that there is gold in this other
wise barren island of the Caribbean
sea, but is workings may be found to
be impraeticable. or it may turn ou.
an Eldorado. IF Aruba island is
where the Ineas found their countless
gold, it is quite probable they left some
in the mines. The supposition is they
merely picked up the nuggets, but had
no means of separating the metal from
the quartz. This extensive mining
company appears to be perfectly salts
fed with the leavings.

Will Won voteg

The Democracy Of Western Ken
lucky probably never passed through
a Presidential campaign, before or
since the war, with as little effort and
show Of party organization as now ex-
lists. In many of the counties of the
First Congressional District our party
has not had political meeting, or a
political speaking outside of some i'm
mediate aspirants; and as conss-
quence that there will be a very small
vote in November may be Justly ap-
pretended. Our leaders have trusted
too much to the immense majority in
Kentucky, and especially in the First
District. Those who usually display
an interest in eleetioe), have felt, that
Greeley is certain to carry Kentucky. :"
This course, this state of feeling, is
absolutely dangerous. The real Dem
ocratic majority in Kentucky, in full
poll, Is between $4,000 and 100000
and YET IN the last Guheruatorial elec
ton we carried the State by only 37,-
GOO. In 1868 Seymour's majority was
76. .326, while Leslie was only 81 ,158.
This immense reduction of our major
ity was caused prineiRlly by the neg
lect OF Democrats to go to the polls. It
is an every day occurrence to hear
Democrats say, II would vote. bat ii
is not necessary" On the basis of
Leslie's majority it will only require
1850 Of these kind of Democrats to
give the State to Grant in November;
or, a very small per cent of every 600
Democratic votes ia the State. We
have no real fear that Grant will carry
Kentucky, yet unless our friends be-
stir themselves more, our majority viii
be cut down tremendously. Every
Grant man, the lame, the halt, the
blind, the white, the black, the old aud |
the young, without the missing of a
man, is as certain to vote as he can get I
to the polls. VIII the Democrats I
