WE THINK.

We do not think that the election OF
johnson by a spontaneous uprising Of
the people has had the effect of " break
ing up" the Democratic party in Mem
phis. We fail to see it. The people de-
sired the reelection of johnson. There
was such unanimity on the subject that
convention called to give voice to
their will would have savored of the ludl-
erous A convention calling itself
Democratic, and organized to defeat
him, would have utterly ruined Che con-
yention system, because its nominee,
sailing under the Democratic coiors,
and armed with the nomination OF a
Democratic Convention, would have
been defeated. 1t would have been I'M
possible to defeat johnson. What would
have been the result2 Why, sim
ply that it would have gone forth
on the wings of the lightning that
the nominee of the Democrats of Mem
phis had been defeated by citizens
candidate. Would not that have looked
a good deal like disruption of the
party2 As it is, the party has the bene-
fit of the victory, and the integrity OF
the organization is untouched. Il is
precisely where it was before the can
vass commenced When it becomes
necessary for the Democracy to organ
ize they will have no difficulty in doing
so. They will come together like the
meeting of many drops of water, and
form the great river of their strength.
The sentiment lives, the principle sur
wives, and all that is necessary to make
it stir into living fame is an appropri-
ate occasion. The mayoralty question,
under the peculiar circumstances that
attended it, was not proper occasion.

PREPARATION.

The military preparations to make
Grant President a secoad term are not
vet completed. A bill has been agreed
on by the Radical members of Congress
from the South, and viii be introduced
in Congress next week, 1t proposes to
extend the enforcement act of the last
Congress to every voting precinctin the
country, thus requiring Federal inspec-
tors for all elections for members OF
Congress or United States officers, and
the use of troops in such cases as are
made and provided in the present law.
The act, as it now exists, is restricted to
cities whose population is above fifty
thousand.

SENATOR TRUMBULL.

The New York Sun has the name o.
Senator Trumbull at the head of its col
umns for President. Itsays that though
he is not a candidate for the Presidency
there is no reason to suppose that he
would deny the use OF his name for that
Office to any large and influential body
of electors with whom he substantially
agrees on important public questions.
Why, then, should not Mr.. Trumbull be
made the rallying point of all those who
are opposed to the re-eleetibn of General
Grant, whether Republicans or Demo
crats2 That he would be highly accept
able to the reform Republicans of the
whole country, it requires no argument
to prove, for he is their leader in Con-
gress, their representative before the
people, and statesman in whose wis
dom, courage and integrity they have
the most perfect confidence. But how
as to the Democrats?" Of course, no
man is authorized to speak for the De-
mocracy, but as one of them, we give it
as our belief>that the great masses OF
them would support Trumbull to defeat
Grant.

society. We must do it. If there be
Ku-Klux, they must be trodden under

put down the rufians who give
occasion for the hostility Of the Gov
eminent. There must be no masked

tons. No mans life is secure so long

CHICAGO.
Insurance EmbezxIer.

CHICAGO. January 6.--It is rumored that the
Secretary of well-known life insurance com
pany Of this city is embeszler to very large
amount. and has also been speculating on
stocks belonging to the Company. He was
informed that his affairs were not satisfactory,
when he at once handed in his resignation
and found that the state of his. health would
compel him to go West with his family. Since
then it is said the deficits have been made
good, and the Secretary has returned.
The Commissioners yesterday passed res
olution that if any officer Of the Board should
take any bride. orreceiye any presents. or per-
NIT his family to receive any presents from
any person supplying Cook county with goods
or labor, he shall merit discharge, and may
be saad for amount received.

The public has been bored about old
Secretary Fish long enough. Now he
goes out of the Cabinet, and now he
don't. Now new man comes in, and
now he don't. 1t is at last announced
that be is to remain. We are glad the
question is settled. We are glad that
the name of the old mackerel will quit
sinking along the Geographic wires.
This uncertainty about his remaining in
the Cabinet has cost the press many
thousands of dollars, when it is not Of
the value Of ten cents to forty million
people whether he remain in Office or
jump into the Potomac river Grants

and the country would not care, since q
new set Of men Of the same calibre aud
proclivities would come in. What's the
difference? The only persons interested
would be those who have some great
theft to commit through the influence Of
a Cabinet officer.

The numerous kilograms sent hence regard

10 tho Cabinet would be followed by change
of policy toward Cuba, the Spanish Govern
ment was Immediately advised of what was
going on, and was informed that the prospect
was not favorable for a continuing of the
non Intervention policy by our Government.
Acting upon the belief that the retirement OF
Mr.. Fish meant the commencement Of active
measures, the Spanish Cabinet decided that a
change must be met with frmness on their
part, and therefore the recall Of Senior Rob-
erts and change of the Captain General of
Cuba were decided upon before the changes
we're actually ordered. The Spanish Govern
ment were informed Mr.. Fish would remain in
the Cabinet. whareupon they revoked their
former action, leaving matters as they stood
previous to the announcement of Mr.. Fish's
intended withdrawal. 1t is believed here by
persons who are in position to knew that
Mr.. Fish's remaining in the Cabinet has
ayerted a war with Spain.

NEW NOTES.

& We learn from Washington that bill
will be introduced in Congress next week,
making an appropriation for reissue
of new National Bank notes. Such a
proposition was made in the House last
Congress-, but met opposition, unless the
provision was made that the banks
should pay the expense of printing the
new notes. This was not agreed to, and
the bill failed. Secretary Boutwell, re-
commends thas Congress authorize a
new issue of these notes, but has not
positively asked i. to pay the expense
which will exceed million dollars. A
new issue is urged on the ground that
the notes have been counterfeited and
are becoming defaced.

the Southern States, and states that
those who commit the atrocious crimes
credited to il must expect no favor from
him. He says that about the only thing
Alderman did, which pleased Grant, was
to wage vigorous war on the so-called
