ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
QUEEN VICToRTA.--A dispatch, dated
London, March I'd, says, the assault
upon the queen yesterday, by OCon-
nor is a theme of universal comment
and condemnation in the journals.
Previous to the attack, O'Connor
scaled wall ten feet in hight, which
surrounded the court yard at Buck
ingham palace. When he approached
the carriage of the queen, he first saw
Lady Churchill, who was riding with
her majesty, and was about to assault
her, but he soon discovered his mistake,
and turned upon the queen. Her
majesty's groom, John Brown. who
was riding behind the carriage, upon
witnessing the action of O'Connor,
leaped from his horse, and arrested
and disarmed the assallant. The
prisoner will be brought to Bow street
station this morning, where his preli-
minary examination will be had.
All approaches to the Bow street
police station ere jammed by an i'm.
mense concourse of people, who have
gathered in the hope of catching
glimpse of O'Conner, the assailant of
the queen.
The father or the prisoner is an
Irishman, while the other portion of
his family are English, and belong to
the protestant church. O'Conner's
house has been thoroughly searhced by
detectives, but nothing whatever was
found to criminate any one with him
in his dastardly act.

Truth i'm 1870 IT, Trut,,in 1872

On the 18th Of November, 1870. Horace
Greeley uttered the following prophetic
words OF truth and soberncss. And what
was truth in 1870 is truth now in 1872. In
warning the people against trusting the Bro
LESSONS OF the Democrats that thew would
acqulesce in the reconstruction measures of
Congress, Mr. Greeley said:
We do not share the prevalent belief that
the Democratic party will acquiesce in the
reimbursement Of the blacks. Necessity
ana apprehension may for time constrain
1T to silence, but its restoration TO ROVER will
invariably revive the assertion. This is n
white mans Government with the usual
democratic inference from that premise.
Just rs the attempt to defraud the national
creditors by paying off their bonds, which

PROOF mat the country would not tolerate il.
so the purpose Of DISTINGUISHING the blacks
may be disclaimed but not relnquished. If
there were no Republican party the national
deot would never lie paid, and the blacks
would be Invested of every franchise While

"Grant Afraid TO Go South. ::

To the sneering remark of Theodore
Tilton, that Grant probably declined to
accept the invitation to visit Chattanooga
because he was afraid to 60 South, the
Rochester Express pertinently replies that
when there was any danger in going South,
General Grant, not President then, went there
and by his admirable management of the war
and leadership Of our armies made it safe for
more timid. men to follow him. Hence Mr..
Greeley, who always insisted that he had a
right to travel through the South, but who
never tried it until General Grant made it
safe for him, went through that section in
security and now talks glibly about the
"bloody chasm." He was always careful to
keep away from that chasm, preferring shak-
ing hands over that at Niagara, so long as
there was any danger of his precious blood
being spilled into it,
Probably Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan
didn't think when they were sweeping down
the armed bands Of traitors in the South that
they were clearing up canvassing ground for
their traducers in the North whereon the lat
ter would stump it for the hero of Niagara
against the hero Of Appomattox but proba-
bly, they would have done it all the same, for
they were loyal men.

quarter, and is gradually preparing its read

Toes not admit, in express terms, that it is

making an agonizing appeal 10 the faithful to

weakness that is equivalent to such an adj
mission. The nomination Of General Dix

state for Grant, has carried terror to the
leart of the poor old man, who has sold HIM

10 which we refer, he says:

self-contradicting and selfconficting piece
of work yet published under the proud name

son Davis oundly-for which we certainly do
not blame him-and therefore wants to lay
the blame for the collapse of the Confede-
racy entirely on his shoulders, but neverthe-
less, on another page he demonstrates to
his own full satisfaction that secession was
altogether an artificial affair, that it was en-
tirely the work of few ambitious politicians,
in which the people had no share, and that
consequently it was doomed to be failure
from the outset. In one point, however, he
is perfectly consistent. namely, in his hatred
for the North, of Northern abolitionism and
radicalism as well as in his devotion to the
cause and doctrines of the South, no matter
what he may have thought of the expediency
of secession. He is emphatically South
erner and Democrat, and therefore one OF
the last men entitled to lecture, sermonize.

A Good Thing Well Done.

Hon. R. H. Duell, the present member of
Congress from the Syracuse On. " District,
has been renominated by reclamation by the
congressional convention held in that city
Wednesday week. This is very great, but
richly deserved compliment. Mr.. Duell is a
man without guile, and Republican with
out reproach. He is one of the most genial
and kind-hearted gentlemen, and one of the
ablest, most laborious, and most useful men,
bers of Congress. No more incorruptible
Representative ever occupied a seat in Con-
gress, and no trucr-hearted and faithful Re-
publican ever served constituency. Though
the district is considerably tinctured with
Greeleyism, Mr.. Duell will be elected by the
usual, if not by much larger than the
usual, majority, as we are confident that he
will receive as many Democratic votes as he
loses bogus Republican.
