STANDING STILL.

There is great significance in the
silence of the Democratic members OF
the senate while war of extermina-
ton, in the Radical family, is raging
around them. There is great signifi-
canoe in the silence of the national
executive committee at time when,
under ordinary political circumstances,
they would be engaged in the work OF
mastering the Democratic forces and
equipping them for the battle of Novem-
Der. We think that something is under
stood between our Democratic leaders
and the leaders of the Liberal Republi-
can movement. There has never oc-
Cured in the senate debate of greater
bitterness than that which has recently
transpired between Sumner Schurz and
Trumbull, on one side, and Morton,
Conkling and others, on the other. The
first assailed the administration and the
last defended it. The first denouncedit as
corrupt, and the others, if they denied the
charge, threw every possible obstacle in
the way of investigation. A debate
more bitter never occurred between the
Democrats and Wings, or the Democrats
and Republicans. And there SIT the
Democratic senators with their mouths
closed, eager to plunge into the fight,
but restrained by-what2 That is the
question. From Alaska to Matamoros
there is no talk of Democratic Presi-
Dental candidate. No conventions are
called, no meetings held and no banners
hoated out to the breeze Is the Demo
cratic party, by common consent, dis
solved SO far as the Presidency is con-
cerned2 If failure TO enter the contest
as a party may be styled disorganiza-
ton, then it is disorganized, dissolved.
The leaders and people are waiting
with an anxiety not to be described, the
result of the civil war now raging in the
Republican family. They are waiting
for the meeting Of the Cincinnati
liberal Republican convention. If
that body shall prove success in
point of character and numbers, and
nominate David Davis, or Trumbull, or
Gratz Brown, or any anti-Grant Repub-
lican, whatever few prominent, restless,
halfcrazed Democrats may do, the great
body of the Democracy will rally to his
support. This is the significance of the
silence on the part of Democrats in
Congress and in the country. Will
Trumbull, Sumner and Schurz hold fast2
Mr. Stephens thinks not. If So they
mean nothing by the course they have
taken. If they support Grant after all
they have said of him. they will forfeit,
and justly, the respect of every honest
man. They would afford an instance Of
qualification without parallel among
statesmen. Whatever our opinion may
be worth, it is, that they will, under no
circumstances, support Grant. Mean
time, the Democracy are standing still
to see the salvation of the Lord.

The ceolness of North Carolina brig
ands is something appalling. They not
merely stole tools and team for the pur-
pose but unosientatiously drove up to
the only bank in Lumberton, took out
the safe and loaded it upon the dray;
then visited and went through the sher-
IFS Office in like manner, and quietly
made off with $4,000. The sheriff and
his posse were too weak to cope with
Them and even the price of $4,000 set
on their heads does not insure their cap
ture. The old stories of Robin Hood
and Little John of the green glades OF
Nottingham are triaes as compared with
this.

A NORTHERN paper says: The folly
of endeavoring to conceal the presence
in any community Of infectious diseases
or epidemics has been illustrated recent
ly in Philadelphia. In that city, while
the small pox was steadily gaining from
week to week, and making terrible raw
ages, the newspapers kept the matter as
quiet as possible, lest business should be
diverted from the city. The consequence
was that the people neglected to take
the necessary precautions against the
disease, and the rate of mortality was
frightful
