THE arrest of Miss Susan b. Anthony and
fourteen other ladies for so-called illegal vOt-
ing in Rochester, New York, appears to be
quite in harmony with the wishes Of these la
dies. They desire to have their legal rights
tested. The fact that they have retained
Hon. HENRY r. SELDEN as their counsel,
shows that they mean to defend themselves
by the highest legal ability that western New
York affords. sit may be found, after all, J"
as Webster once said Of another contingency,
'there will be blows to take, as well as blows
to give" The fourteenth amendment of the
Constitution, like the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, may be found to cover more ground
than some who voted for itintendedit to cover,
and if the women are found to be embraced in
its provisions and secured in their right OF
suffrage, Miss Anthony may well enough
congratulate herself upon her arrest for ille-
gal voting.

His Basket Out Again!

The enterprising and persistent Byington
is carrying round his basket again for some
thing better than the office he now holds.
Forgetting the homely old adage that beg
CARS shouldn't be choosers, he tells the Sem
ate, to whom his appeals are annually made,
what he wants them to bestow. 1t is moth
ing less now, as in the past, than the posi-
ton of Sergeant-at-Arns of that body, now
held by Hon. John r. French, an officer with
whom the Senate and the public seem very
we'll satisfied, as they have reason to
do. 1t is admitted that he is a very compe-
tent officer, and the official record of his
Office proves that he is a very economical
one. The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, referring to the rumor Of a
new deal, says that "Byington is clerk to
Senator Ferry's Committee, and, by virtue
of that Office, also Senator Ferry's private
secretary. He is credited with having
worked up the combination between the
Democrats and the Republican enemies of
Gen. Hawley in the Legislature, by which
the latter was defeated for the Senate last
spring. Last winter he made an effort to
have Mr.. French replaced by himself, but
could not get the five signatures necessary to
call caucus of the Senate to consider the
subject. Mr.. Byington now turns up again
as the standing candidate, and combination
for his election is announced. This is the
same old story, and is likely to have the same
finale as hitherteo

The Revenue II reform Hum bug.

We entirely agree with the Detroit Post
that the attempt of the agents of the British
Free Trade League, of which Sol" Gros-
venor, who has just been disgracefully de-
feated for Congress in one Of the st. Louis
districts, is the paid agent, to revise the
" Revenue Reform" humbug, is so obviously
a sham and fraud that it ought to deceive no.
body. 1t is simply an effort Of desperate
men and journals, whose party has been de-
stroyed, and who have so lost character that
there is no place for them in any living party,
to secure following and an issue upon which
to live. The "Liberal Republican," party
having been buried, and the Democratic party
having gone to pieces, it is business neces-
sity for the Chicago Tribune, the New York
World, and the other leaders of the late fail
ure, to create some faction and some issue by
which they may secure their bread and butter,
and regain the position of organs to some
thing and somebody.

A Mighty Corporation.

According to the New York Financier the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is one of the
most powerful and far-reaching corporations
that ever has existed in this or any other
country. 1t complains that the printed re-
ports of the company are too meager and the
officers of the road too silent to furnish the
information which it has somehow obtained.
These statistics show fifteen thousand miles
or more in operation, with an invested capital
of seven hundred and fifty million dollars. 1t
may be doubted if the Emperors of Rome,
with their national highways radiating to all
their provinces, from Britain to India, ever
welded as much actual (though perhaps
these figures. The anatomy of this huge
colossus of roads is described as trunk to
which number Of other great corporations
are attached as limbs. "Of these the South
ern Railway Security Company is one leg.
1t covers the system of railways extending
from Philadelphia TO the South, via Balti-
more, Washington, and Richmond. Next
comes the body, or the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, which covers the Pennsyl-
vana Central Railway, and the vast system
of branches extending throughout the coal
and iron regions of the north of Pennsylva-
MIA, and reaching up through the State of
New York to the Northern Lakes. Then
come the two great arms, known by the name
of the Pennsylvania Company, one Of which
covers the system of the roads reaching
northwestward from Pittsburg to Chicago,
and the other the system westward from St.
Louis (the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and St.
Louis Company and southwark from Hi
nois to the Pacific ocean, via Texas, and
westward from st. Louis to San Francisco.
The possible influence of so gigantic cor
poration upon the politics, political economy,
institutions, and even the morals and man.
ners of a people is simply incalculable.
They will be the wonder if not the problem
of the future.

TO Fight Us From a Masked Bat
terry.

If Mr.. Greeley had frankly proclaimed, on
assuming control of the Tribune, that hereaf-
ter it would be an open opponent of the adj
ministration of President Grant and of the
Republican party, he would have commanded
much more respect and been entitled to much
more charity for past offcnses than he is now.
Then he would have been honest. Now he
is preparing to prosecute war upon both
from masked batteries. Whatever Mr.. Gree
ley may profess, he entertains at heart a Bit
ter hatred for the Republican party. That
he proved by all his utterances from the
stump during the campaign. And he hated
the party then for its refusal to crafty his
| ambition for office, how much more bitterly
must he hate it now after the terrible chas-
tisement it has just administered him? Mr..
Greeley will look upon this overwhelming
defeat as an additional indignity, and he is
not the man to overlook any occasion for
avenging real or imagined injuries. Knowing
that as an avowcd Republican he would have
no power to punish his enemies, he has
donned the garb of independence" in which
he thinks he can work more successfully and
safely against the President and his admins.

York city, on the 5th instant, through the in
PREVENTION of United States officers, with no
prosecutions upon those officers following.
Georgia must be made to understand that she
will not be allowed to raise her hands or in
any manner offer resistance to the General
Government without mourning the sure, swift
punishment she merits by her reasonable
conduct.
We believe in reconciliation as much as
Mr.. Greeley does, but can only see success
full reconciliation in the submission of all the
States of the Union to the laws of the Gem
eral Government, enacted in pursuance of the
authority and power given by the Constitu-
ton. We cannot be reconciled to the atti-
tude Of Georgia defying and furnishing the Of
ficers of the United States Government for
doing their duty. We cannot be reconciled
with the extraordinary efforts Of rebels (who
have through the magnanimity of loyal peo-
pie, gone UNPUBLISHED for their terrible crimes
against the Government to trample under
foot the loyal element in their midst, and to
elevate traitors to the chief seats in the Gov
eminent. Our sympathies are with the true
friends of the nation, and we beg for them
the full protection of its Government.
It is very evident from the result of the
late election that the people do not desire any
notifications of the laws enacted by Congress
bearing upon the questions arising out of re-
construction, but rather desire their active
and energetic enforcement; it is also evident
that the great mass of voters will look upon
the administration as weak and imbecile if it
sits still and allows officers Of the United
States to be punished merely to crafty rebel
hate and vengeance. IA
Within the borders of the State Of Georgia
are numbers of Ku-Klux who go about in dis
guise, not only carrying concealed weapons,
but concealed faces, not for the purpose of as
sisting in upholding the laws of Congress, but
for the purpose of defying them. 1t would
seem if the Governor of Georgia were so de-
sirous of promoting good order in his State as
he affects to be, that he would turn his at
tention to these midnight marauders whose
deeds are blot upon the civilization of the
United States, rather than attempt to use
the laws of his State for prosecuting officers
whose sole aim was to protect peaceful citi-
zens from the wantonness and murderous
vengeance of these klans. Hatred Of the
Union and no desire for reconciliation in
spires the government of Georgia, and to-day
she is as intensely rebel, among the more in
fluential Of her population, as in 1861, and
had the party of false pretenses succeeded in
defeating the Republican candidate for the
Presidency we should have to be the wit
nesses of complete crushing out of loyalty
in Georgia, and throughout the South under
her leadership. Georgia must he made to
respect the laws.

Catholic clergy in reference to marriages
| between Ca tholics and Protestants, by
making civil marriages obligatory, instead OF
| leaving it optional, as it has been hitherto.
This reform is particularly desirable, as those
marriages between persons Of different creeds
| have always been source of vexation and
| trouble, because the Catholic priests are
| frequently instructed by their Bishops to
perform the marriage ceremony only on con-
| dition that promises are given by the parties
pledging them to bring their children up in
| the true faith. 1t is added that the Chan
| cellor has succeeded in overcoming the En-
peror's aversion against obligatory civil mar
riage, and that he declares this success to be
| by far more important than all the results of
the recent meeting of the three Emperors.
1t is.evident that every measure directed
| against the arrogance of the Church will also
| be step forward in the direction of civil
liberty, progress, and enlightenment, and it
| will turn out, as it has turned out so many
| times before, that just those who fight the
spirit of the age most desperately by their
| infatuation become the unwilling promoters
| of reforms which otherwise would have been
| DELAYED indefinitely. The Shareholders, by
raising the banner of rebellion, accelerated
the abolition of slavery, and it would by no
means be strange if the infatuation of the
Ultramontanes would render it necessary for
the Prussian Government to deal a blow
to the Church, from which it might never
recover.
1t is, however, not only in Germany that
the priesthood are doing their best to revive
the superstition of the middle age, and to fan
| the fanaticism of the ignorant masses. AT

Alabama.

From all the reliable information we are
able to derive from Alabama it is certain that
the State has given General Grant majority
of several thousand votes, and nearly as
many for the Republican State officers.
The rebel Ku-Klux Democracy of that
State, however, are attempting the same
game this year that they successfully accom-
plished two years ago, namely: manipulate
ing the election returns by counting out Re-
publicans that were legally elected and count
ing in Democrats that were not elected, so
as to give the Legislature to the Democracy
States Senator.
To give the State to Greeley would not
secure his election, and the majority for the
State officers was so large that more votes
would be required to count them out than
they had in the counties where the frauds
have been perpetrated. So that part of the
fraud was abandoned. But by throwing out
several Republicans that have been elected
to the Legislature, and giving false certifi-
Gates to Democrats, a majority could be man.

the States which went for Grant, four-Ala-

Sensible.

The colored people of the State OF Georgia
are to hold a convention on the LIST OF JAN
uary, 1873, for the purpose of devising plan
of emigration to the West. We are pleased
to see this move; in our opinion it is highly
sensible one. Outraged in every conceivable
manner by the white people of the State, who
profit by their labor, it is only proper that
the colored people should seek to better their
condition, and at the same time compel the
lazy and tyrannical whites to work for them
selves or starve. We would recommend to
the leaders in this movement in Georgia the
distribution among the colored people of the
pamphlet referred to elsewhere entitled
SHOW 81 900 can be made to Yield $3.50, 900
in Ten Years.

THE scout of exultation which the Gree
ley-Copperhead-Tammany press has sent up
all over the country at the Presidents deci-
sion in regard to the Philadelphia post Office,
wiz probably suggest to him the inquiry
"vhat have / done that the wicked praise
ln1e?" These men have never yet been
known to approve anything Republican in
principle or practice, anything right and just,
anything they did not believe injurious to the
Republican party. They look upon the APP
plication of the civil service rules to the case
as practical defeat of the wishes of the Re-
publican party of Philadelphia, as expressed
~ the committee of citizens, at the head of
which was Senator Cameron. Therefore his
enemies, the Presidents enemies, the enc
mics Of the Republican party, arc happy!

OF the Presidents entire good faith and
regard for the public interests in thus carry
ing out what is claimed to be reform in the
civil service of the Government, no fair
minded man will express doubt. Nor can
we see, in view of all his professions i'll re-
gard to the subject, and especially of his APP
prevail of the civil service rules under which his
decision in the Philadelphia case was made,
how he could have acted differently. But
the acknowledged consistency and good faith
of the President has nothing to do with the
merits of the civil service rules.
The system is not only unjust, because it
places the enemies of the Admins tration
and even OF the Government on the same
footing as the friends Of both. But even
that might be overlooked if its effect were to
secure more competent and honest class Of
public servants than the old system. We
have reason to know, however, that such is
not the case, and that on the contrary the
very reverse is the truth.

The Only National Party.

From time immemorial the Democracy
have claimed that theirs is the only national
party in existence, and have impudently ap-
pealed to the people for support on that
ground. This pretext of exclusive nation
ality has been more clamorous since the
South went into rebellion and withdrew from
the Union than ever before. Ever since the
overthrow Of the rebellion the Democracy
have presented 1t as one of their strongest
arguments in favor of 4 restoration to power.
But the last election has shown how utterly
absurd and unfounded is this claim. And this
absurdity is forcbly illustrated by n reference
of the Detroit Post to the character of that
election. Commenting on the fact that Ore
gon and California had both given large ma
jorities for Grant, the Post truthfully alleges
that, taken in connection with the election
in other sections of the Union, it furnishes
absolute proof that the Republican party is
the only national party. 1t is strong in all
sections. 1t carried the North and the
South, the East and the West, the Atlantic
and the Pacific States alike. The Demo
NAutiS toi " 10 thS SSStiohah ~ SoN-
ceeded only in one section, and there only
in States where the peculiar sectional feel.
ing was strong. Wherever the national
sentiment prevailed, there the Republican
party was triumphant. Wherever the mar.
row State and sectional feeling was stronger
than the national feeling, the Democratic
ticket received its strongest vote.
But perhaps few fgues will still more
clearly show how groundless and presump.
tuous is the claim of nationality set up fol
the Democratic party, and how justly the Re
publican party is enttledto that honor. The
figures we present will also show that the
South, in the late election, emphatically re-
buked the Greeley-coalition charge of un
just legislation on the part of Congress. Fol
| instance, eleven of the Southern States have
been subject to this reconstruction legislation
which possess ninety-five electoral votes il
all. At the election just held, these vote:
| were given to the respective candidates a:
follows, and nearly by the following popular
| majorities
