The New Orleans Christian Advocate
says: Sin the late troubles in Grant par
ish, after all the statements pro and con,
and after making due allowance for human
passion and error, we believe that the ne
groes and their miscreant leaders were re-
sponsible for the whole. The whites and
the better class of colored people were
acting in the interests of law and social
order and for the peace and protection of
the community"
The New York Nation, newspaper
that generally knows what it is talking
about, thus defines the Republican party:
1t is held together as an organization
solely by the possession of the Government
Offices This makes it a real bushes con-
cern, with accounts to keep, earnings to

opinions, and, to do it justice, makes no
pretence of having any"

The WATERFOWL, N. Y, Dispatch SAYS
Through the Credit Mobilier revelations.
the salary theft, the Louisiana outrages,
and the general corruption which doubly
distinguished the present dominant Marty,
the people have been made to see and
painfully feel the need of change of
Government. To this end all newspapers
that have spoken out and continue to speak
out in reprobation of the plunderers and
their schemes of plumber are meeting with
success as large as it is unprecedented.
Gov. WALKER, OF VIRGINIA. a
Richmond (Va.) correspondent says
" \ rumor exciting considerable interest
in journalistic circles is to the effect that
Governor Walker expects to take editorial
charge of a well-known Virginia newspaper
as soon as he is freed from the duties of
the gubernatorial office. There are those
who are already advocating electing Gov.
Walker to the United States Senate, in
place of Lewis, whose term expires next
year.
The Albany Argus says -" The far
mers' movement in the West is very for
midable 1t is breaking the Republican
party to splinters In many counties in
Iowa they have held conventions, resolving
to nominate candidates of their own for
all county offices, and to hold State Con-
yentiOn to nominate candidate for Gov
ernor. As an indication of the strength of

Pleasant, Iowa, Wednesday, there were
10000 patrons in attendance from Henry
and the adjoining counties"
Hon. John j. Perry, who served the
Radical party of Maine in Congress for
two sessions, thinks that organization has
performed its mission, and shown an ina
bility to meet the new issues which are
pressing upon the nation and demanding
public attention. Therefore he will neither
receive nomination from that party nor
act with il in the future. The list of able.
honest intelligent men in the opposition
who are preparing to leave it, is daily be-
coming more formidable, and if the Dem
ocrats will purify their own household and
act in prudent manner, they will obtain
power in few years.
The political situation in Virginia, says
the Petersburg haaer, is more and more
encouraging to the Conservative party.
When some months ago the preparations
Tor the campaign began, our success was
threatened both by disunion and by apa-
thy. For time it appeared that acri-
monious disputes and side issues, and
questions of personal preference, would 90

THE Liberal PARTY.-The Buffalo
Adrertiser represents the Liberal Party who
nominated and voted for Mr.. Greeley as so |
many beggars at the footstool of power,
and complains of disposition in some of |
the simon-pure Grant Republicans to well
come them back. According to the Buff |

They deliberately followed strange gods. |
and must suffer the consequences of their own
stupid malice and perversity. As for the |
arch-conspirators in the Liberal revolt there |
is no room as yet in the Republican heart for
sympathy or forgiveness toward them. Never
was political schism more basely contriyed
never was there a party detection more utterly |
unjustiiiable. Its moving spirits were actual.
