it is difficult to see what act of Parliament is
to restrain them.
The suggestion has been seriously made that
this initial adventure is missionary enterprise
intended to attempt the conversion to Buddhism
of the nations of the West, as the nations Of
the West have sent many missionaries 10 at
tempt the conversion TO Christianity Of tho na-
tions of the East These latter have usu-
ally been politely received and permitted
to assume their works of evaDgelization
in peace. We do not think that this is tho
design at present, but deem it merely tic
effort of small number of pious HindOos

wandering and mendicant Sramanas or Blk

"Shrine of oil Saints and Temple Of all Gods"
and it may be that London is in time TO Ic-

Do our friends in Pennsylvania mean to sit
still under the mOnstrous pollution Of their
balot-box7 Here is Simon Cameron's brother
in-law detected in one effort to bribe an cleo
ton Judge. Why are not the scores OF facts
like this, which our friends know of, dragged
at once into equal prominence? Very posi-
bly, some of the courts may not afford redress;
that is their affair. Every unjust Judge has
his day ;-sOOner OF later Barnard's fate, or at
least equal infamy, if not equal loss Of place,
overtakes him. Our duty is at least to drag
to the searching light these men who pollute
the very fountain of free institutions. judges
and prosecuting attorneys may be mere crea-
lures of the men whose crimes we ask them
to punish juries may be impaneled to white
wash; it may be useless TO try to send to the
penitentiary, where, according to the aiidauts,
he seems to belong, the brOther-in-aw OF the
man who has bought the vote Of Pennsyl-
vania. Even where juries should convict ana

pardon.
But difficulties like these should only stimu-
late honest citizens to their whole duty II
the courts of justice are closed to them, the
tribunal of public opinion is always open. Let
them spare no labor to procure the proofs Of
the gigantic frauds which have disgraced their

Lancaster. Now, let every honest man come
forward and tell what he knows Of similar
crimes committed or attempted. No matter

his utterly unauthorized employment Of an
aide-de-camp to make treaty with the Re-
public of SantO Domingo, his conduct when
the treaty was before the Senate was unde-
niably illegal and indecorous. He went as
lobbyist into the ante-rooms Of the SEN
ate and pertinaciously urged these schemes
upon individual Senators. He rewarded
with public patronage those who favored
il, and turned out of Office without cause the
friends of those who opposed it, Mr.. Sumner
voted against it, and the next day the Presl-
dent recalled Mr. Motley, as the bitterest
blow he could strike at the Massachusetts
Senator. All whose convictions of duty COM
PEELED them to resist the adoption OF TINS
treaty were at once put under the ban OF the
Administration; their friends dismissed. their
counses thereafter disregarded. After tniling
in the Spring of 1870 to carry his point, he
came back to it once more in the Winter ses-
sion, in that prepOsterOus Message in which he
said the acquisition was necessary to the
payment of the national debt, and lectured
the Senate "on their folly in rejecting so great
"a prize.n He only dropped it when he found
he could not force Congress to pass it and the
country to approve it.
Not less striking was the recent effort OF
the President and the Household Congressman
TO force through both Houses of Congress, III
the later days of the session, those provisions
for extending the Ku-Klux laws and amplfy-
ing the Force bill, which, if successful, would
have virtually made the exercise of the suffrage
throughout the United States dependent upon
the good pleasure of the Administration for

section of the Ku-Klux act was to be extended
for year to cover the Presidential canvass.
This section empowers the President OF the
United States, in his own discretion, to sus-
pend the writ of habeas corpus wherever ne
shall see fit, on the pre.ense that the rights OF
citizens are not properly protected by State
Governments. The Enforcement act was IN
tended to supplement this precious plan by
putting the control of the election machinery
in the hands of Federal officers, who should
not orly oversee the elections, but have power
to arrest voters on sight. The vigilant resist
ance made by the opposition in both Houses
defeated this conspiracy against the suffrage;
but if it had prospcred, we might as well
have had no farther elections under Gen.
Grant.
When we add to these evidences OF gross
incapacity to understand or appreciate what
legal principle is, the hundreds of instances
ia which, for a personal caprice or political
spite, the President has injured the service and
discredited his own position by his appoint
ments and removals, we can then comprehend
the gravity of that lawless tendency which
has already alarmed the best lawyers and
clearest thinkers of both Houses, and united
against him. last year, every journal III the
country of the least pretensions to lnde-
pendence. Even The Erening Post, not many
weeks ago, said the Presidents Ignorance
and contempt of law was becoming every
day more prominent" 1t has said nothing
SO true since then.

THE PRESIDENTS CONTEMPT FoR LAW

THE PRESIDENTS CONTEMPT FOB LAW
We have mover agreed with those who re-
gard the President as harbOring ideas of usur-
nation OF purposes hostile to the republican
form of government. Usurpers have usually
been men of some vivacity of intellect eager
for power either on account of the glitter and
luxury which come with it, OF on account OF
its accompanying breadth and scope of oppor-
tunities. But Gen. Grant cares very little for
either the shows or the responsibilities of
power. He likes the Presidency because, as
he administers it, it is an easy, pleasant place,
with plenty of fattery of a coarse, congenial
kind, salary and perquisites enough for COM
Portable living, and frequent occasions to pro-
vide for his family and friends. He
has very little respect for the office be-
yond this. He doubtless regards it as
a proper though inadequate repayment of his
services during the war; and credits the nation
with it in his account, as far as it goes. He
is a man of too little imagination to dream of
coups d6tdt or of the violent subyerson of the
form of government. The danger there is in him
lies in this-that he knows so little and cares so
little about law, that his continual infractons
of it, from mere selfish disregard Of legality,
if they are permitted to go on, and perpetually
defended or cOndoned by his flatterers, will re-
suit in a serious and permanent injury to the
law-abiding sentiment of the country.
There are several strong illustrations of this
tendency in Mr.. Fenton's admirably clear and
practical speech recently delivered at his home
in Chautauqua County. He referred to the
unfounded eulogies which the President has
received from his partisans for having at last
given up his Santo Domingo project. He was
literally forced to drop it, and did 80 with the
worst grace imaginable. Every step which he
took in this matter proved how little he knew
about the constitutional limits of his power,
aad how little he respected them. Passing by
