Why Amnesty WAS Defeated.

SO long AS the South stands ready
ana a1Einn+ to send men of more brains
than integrity to the Senate that tho
demagogues now dominant there DOS
ses, those delnagogues may be re-
lied upon to vote to keep such men out.
In this personal reason lies the whole
antipathy to amnesty. Few of Sena-
tors are statesmen now. Many of them
are knaves, and an equal number OF
them are rantors. The fools and the
jobbels arc the majority. They would
be be<lwarfed into insignificancc by the
advent of men who would prove the
intellectual heirs of the men the Sem
ate contained before and up to tho be-
ginning of the war. There were giants
in those days. They went into seces-
sion, but they never went into steal
ing. They were violent, but they were
not venaf. They were hasty, but they
were not dishonest. They believed
more in their States than they did in
their country. but they never sold their
votes to railroad lobbyists. They never
slavered u President, nor ever became
infanously and rapidly rich on their
small. salaries. They never voted a
dollar for the war, to be surc-but they
never voted Il dollar to string" or
into their own pockets. Their mouths
were full, too, perhaps of States rights,
but they never had their desks run
ming over with railroad stocks, nor
gauged their support of n measure by
the condition of their bank books.
Small wonder that the slightest vision
of such men, or their similitutie, COM
ing again to the capitol, frightens the
souls OF tho feeble adversaries. Jeal-
ousy of a conscious inferiority to such
men Is the real reason why amnesty
was killed, and we conjure the cou,l-
try to bear the fact in -RrookIyn

without number seemed to dart from

there was Il terrible swapping at the

's Maria Ann went to the front door,

Summer Hids GOod-By TO the Republican

Especial Dispatch to Cincinnati Gnzclte.
WAsIIINGTON, March l7.-While
Senator Summer has not been asked
ana OF course, has not consented, to
preside over the Cincinnati COnven
ton, there is the highest authority for
saying that he considers himself out of
the Republican party. In the most
friendly way he informed Senator Will
son that they had reached the fork of
the road, and would hereafter travel in
different directions. He does not nban-
don Republican principles, however,
ana his course will be governed by fu-
turc events. Under no circumstances
will he support Grant, but it is not Mt
all certain he will support an opposi-
ton candidates. What he understands
by general amnesty is explained by
the amendment he offered in the Sen
ate against which every Democrat
and every SO-callcd liberal Rcpublicnn
voted. lie attaches as much impor-
tance to that principle as Horace Gree
ley docs to protection, and the latter.
in Saturdays Tribune, give, full and
distinct notice that, if the Cincinnati
convention goes for free trade or Il rev.
emu" tariff, that no possible candidate
could induce him To- support it. Penn
SylVanianS who favor the Cincinnati
movement also say that protection
must be one of the pianks, or they will
have nothing to do with it. On the
other hand, the prime movers in the
Cincinnati enterprise say revenue re-
form or what is called free trade, is the
essential basis of the undertake ing, and
if this is abandoned, there will bc moth
ing worthy the formation ofn new
party. Civil service reform and am
ncsty may be gcneralizcd, but not so
the tariff. Upon this there must bc u
distinct uttcrancc.

ln 1868, Grant carried New Iamp-
shire by about 5000 majority but now,
after strenuous and dcspcrat" cxertions,
lie has barely saved it by Il pitifuI ma
jority of perhaps one thousand; which
shows great cbb in his popularity
since he was elected President. In 1868,
the Federal patronage was in the hands
of Andrew johnson and welded against
Grant but now, with the patronage in
his own hands and most unscrupulous-
ly used, his majority is a mere baga-
tellc compared with what it was then .
The Democratic party is satisfied with
this result. 1t confirms the certainty
of Grants denomination, precIudes the
taking up of any other candidate who
might reunitc the Republican party,
and though last not least, it removes
the last veetige of danger that any por-
tion Ut the Democratic party will pro
test against the complete abandourneu,
Of dead iqancH.

some Ole Goose"

a richmond correspondent of tho
Cincinnati Commercial relates the fol-
lowing anecdote:
! recently heard this amusing story
of very "pious" old coloretl woman,
who was cook for the gentleman to
whom she formerly belonged. During
Il "big meetin' in her church uAunt
Sally" quietly appropriated one of her
employers geese, and had it nicely
roasted for the preacher and some OF
her invited guests. The gentleman Of
the house discovered the theft, but said
nothing about it until the next day,
when he called up "Aunt Sally" to
give her Il lecture about it. In the
course OF the conversation she said. "I
did not care about the goose; / would
ch@crfully have given you that if you
had asked me for it but am 1nortif-
ed that you should have stolen ii, and
that you should have fcasted your
preacher on stolen meat, and have after
ward gone to church to shout as loud
aS ever.'
The old woman Indignantly replied:
"Well, you say you wud hab give
me dc goose. What de use, den, to
make sich fuss about it? And as
fur my stayin' away frum church on
dat account, do you s'Pose 1 gwine to
neglect my blessed Jesus TOR one ole
goose?"
The Cincinnati Commercial (auti-
Grant has the following decided opin-
ions:
Charles Francis Adams, supported
by the opponents Of Grant, wonld be
elected President. He Isl man of the
most excellent qualities and the most
admirable ability. The only objection
TO him that we can think of is that his
father and grandfather were Presidents
of the United States, and that he has a
good many relatives whom he might,
according to his grandfatcr's preco-
dents, appoint to office. Grants ex-
ample, however, might save him.
.Adams would have great strength be-
fore the people. Judge Davis has not
got it; aud it is au article that can not
