TUESDlr MORNING, FEB. 81, iS1,.

In speculating ON the possible
outcome Of the present misunderstood
ing between the United States and
Great Britain, we sometime since ex-
pressed the npinios that the condition
of home affairs in that country would
hardly permit her to 60 to the length
of declaring war. The Governments
extremity would be the malcontent's
opportunity, and il is not at all i'm.
probable that Great Britain would, in
such an event, provoke "fire in the
rear" quite as dangerous as the fusi
lade which she would he likely t. re-
ceive in front. That we are not alone
in this view is sioWn by the fol
lowing extract from that temperate
and judicous English Journal, the
Spectator, which speaking of the inter
nal affairs of that country, says in
recent number
"R0wdyism increases in every direc
tion, till the right of public meeting,
once supposed to he bulwark of free
dnm, is not only threatened, but is
gone. Monarchy is defended agsinst
RepubIicanism by cayenne pepper,
Repuhlicsnism against ability by chair.
legs, the right IL drink against the
right to sustain hy bags of -four We
confess, Radicals though we are, we
watch the gradual pulverization of all
the restraining influences except force,
legal and illegal, with an increasing
dismay.'
Every man in either country who
knows anything Of the incalculahle
hnrr RS and miseries of war, will of
course he anxious that the difficulty
may be hon"rably settled in pacific
manner; but even it England should
so far persist in her wrongheadedness
as to repudiate the treaty, she will
hardly care to invite attack from with.
out, without such dangerous elements
OF disintegration at work from within.

Col. MOsby and Extra Riiiy.

We learn that very amusing incident ec-
CURED at discussion between Colonel Mos
by and Extra Billy Smith, at the Plains, Viz
ginia, few days ago. 1t serves at once to
illustrate the estimation in which Greeley is
held and the Miconverted condition of the De-
mOcracy, when they treat with indifference
the monstrous Outrages of the Ku-Klux that
moved so the heart of even Reverdy johnson
when he heard the testimony before Southern
courts. The Governor, in his speech, totally
denied the ku-klux Outrages, and said they
were mere fabrications to excuse the exercise
OF arbitrary power by General Grant in the
South. In his reply Colonel Mosby read from
an editorial Of Greeley's, written few DAYS
before the passage of the law, in which he
said that there had been five thousand ne
groes killed in South Carolina by the Ku-Klux
during Grants administration, and "not a
single white man had been punished for it,
Now" said Mosby, ''Governor, tell nue.
candidly, did Greeley tell lie or the truth
when he wrste that?' Smith jumping up,
foaming and raving, said: "He told did
lie." He saw that If he admitted the truth
OF what Greeley had told over and over he
would have justified Grant for executing the
law; so he preferred to hold up his own can
didate as q liar. 1t is needless to saw that
the Republicans exploded about that time. -
