AmadeuS.

One would naturally suppose, says the
~ Y. Post, that young man who volun-
tArily retires from the business oI being a
king must be sensible young fellow, or,
as they say in the West shave his head
level" We hope that this is the fact in
regard to the Spanish King Amadeus.
he has tried the business for about three
years, and II he cannot say with the
Preacher, that all is vanity, he may have
come to essentially the same conclusion,
though, perhaps, he would express his
conviction, after the manner Of tho mod
ern young man, in the less elegant asser'
ton that "this sort ol thing is played
out" The unhappy Maximilian. went
into the business because he had nothing
to do, and wanted employment; ifAmad.
Gus, finding that he was only puppet
in the hands of Others, and having too
much selE.respeet, seeks something better
to do than playing king, he is a young
gentleman who ought to be. commended.
30 far as we yet know anything Of his
reasons for abdication they seem to be
about this-he is sick OF 1t. The Cortes
Is his master, and he docs not choose to
be q servant or q ceremony. Spain inVi'
ted him to be her king, and he seems to
have discharged the royal function, con-
sidering all the circumstances, with great
success. But Spain will not be governed;
abe prefers anarchy. Revolution runs in
the blood Of the spaniard, as the love Of
peace and of'the arts Of peace runs in our
own race. he does not change his dis
position by crossing seas nor with the
lapse Of generations, for he is tho same in
the New World as in the Old-in Cuba,
in 81. Domingo, in all South America, as
in Spain.
Amadeus Is alien TO such people. he
does not want bravery, as he has shown
in the face oil an attempt at assassination;
he does not shrink from putting the strong
hand upon attempted insurrection, as he
has proved again and again. But 1t may
be, nevertheless, that his Italian temper
ament sbrinks from the constant conflict,
the turmoil, the violence, possibly the
humbug Of it-for that element is by no
means wanting in your magnificent Don
and all he does. At any rate, for some
reason, he is tired Of it all, and goes back
to the dolcS far niOHte Of his beloved Italy,
tired of playing spaniard even with the
chief part in historical melodrama.

many ways that kilograms from Salt Lake

two or three bills pending in Congress the

in recent interview with deputation
of members OF Congress and others who
called upon him with reference to the
subject expressed decided opinions against
inc further tolerance Of the peculiar

present scare Of Salt Lake arises from the
reports that have reached there in
reference to that interview, and also
various announcements recently made as
to movement OF troops in that direction.
Whilst the positive statements about the
transfer Of any considerable number OF
troops to or towards Salt Lake have been
contradicted, yet their effect upon the
Mormons has been as manifest as II these
statements had been actually true. The

question is made to turn upon
matter of expediency, and what the State
wants is submitted to what General Grant
would like to have. The gentlemen who
propose to benefit themselves by acting as
they suppose the President of the United
States would like to have them act forget
one very necessary condition that should
accompany their submission. They omit to
put on pleasant faces. Their action is &C
companied by very unbecoming conduct
They declare to each ether within the
hearing of the very power they are seeking
to conciliate, that the government is
tyranny and the executive a presumlng
despot. This is not the language the
fusionists should adept while they are
seeking to abuse the President into the be-
lief that they love him and admire his adj
ministration They should put Oh faces
in accordance with their petition. They
should act as if they were in sympathy
with the power to which they ap-
peal, and not deprive their prayer OF
its highes: claim to consideration by
demonstrating its insincerity, as they are
doing. The men who pretend a prefer
ence for Governor Warmoth, bu: defer ID
regard thereto in order 60 please The Pre-
sident, should be consistent in order to be
successful, by pretending 20 be the friends
Of the officer whose favor they are seeking.
The attempt 20 secure the good will OF the
federal administration, while daily heap
ing abuse upon il as the source o: unjust
ambition and constant usurpation, cannot
succeed, and until Nessrs. Adams,
Kennedy & Co omit theiE hatred of the
general government from their public ute
terances. they need not expect ohaVe any
greater influence at Washington than
Governor Warmoth has. The country
and the President desire all applicants for
favor 10 be loyal to the nation above all
things. and allegiant to the laws. If this
! condition prevails, the government is al
| most sure to attend to the petition, but if
it does not, as is evidently the case with
the fusionists who abuse the govern
mer: generally, while demanding
specific relief, the parties might
jus. as well as send in their petitions
through Governor Warmoth's hands as
through the hands Of any other attorney.
The nation vii! not pay much attention to
the messenger while it is considering the
principles and actions OF the party that
sent him. It IS more important for Loui'
siana 20 correct her own faults than 10 be
considering the faults Of others. When

and that was when they united the purse
strings of the ''Citizens' Committee of Two
Hundred" to pay the expenses of a Legis-
lature that is predestined to crumble to
pieces in day or two, out of sheer lack
of cohesive elements, coupled with feel
ing of disgust at it's own impotence.
The intelligent people Of our commu-
nifty are getting to see all this. They are
beginning to realize that the general gov
eminent is not disposed to let its citizens
be trifed with because they are black, or
because they were not born on the soil OF
their adoption, and that more peace and
prosperity come from obedience to law
than from revolution and defiance.
And they realize more than all else that
the various plots and counterplots en-
ployed by Governor Warmoth to make it
appear that the Republican ticket had
been beaten in Louisiana, and to which
the coolest and best Of our people lent
themselves, acting upon the jesuitical
maxim that 'the end justifes the means,
have reverted back upon their bold but
upskillful players.
IN few days the Supreme Court will
render its decision. No one presumes &c
say that there is any reason to believe il
will not be o just one. Whatever it may
be. it will have its effect upon the intelli,
gent masses of our people, and will relieve
all rival claimants of Office OF many en-
barrassments.

AIMED But NOT ABAsHED.

New York Herald saws:

4 Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald says:
The large delegation of New Orleans
merchants who have remained here to look
after the interests of Louisiana before Con-
grcss, were amazed tonight when it was
announced that Pinchback had been chosen
Senator by the Kellogg Legislature. The
name of E. Z. Norton, formerly of New
York, was fixed upon at the time Kellogg
accepted the nomination for Governor, that
in event of the latter's election, all his in
hueDce should be thrown for Norton. 1t is
asserted that this was also stipulated by
Judge Durell before he signed the injunc-
lions and other orders in the Kellogg ar
moth suite
If three or four third rate shop keepers
pass for '1arge delegation Of New Or
leans merchants in Washington and New
York. then the people of the political and
commercial! metropolis must think we are
running low in q business way. But that
is only q secondary idea, derivabie from
the above extract. It appears that our
wandering ''meychants' have been passing
off on the Herald correspondent, and ne
on his readers. a precious lot of political
falsehoods. AND when they are exposed
as such, the authors, instead Of being
abashed. are simply amazed. Usually
when man IS caught in lie he betrays
a feeling Of shame. but this large delega.

story he has told Sc often that he rroba.

any foundation. But it is i. this way the
Northern people are constantly deiuded
about Southern matters. The correspond
ent sells himself to the Large delegation
Of New Orleans merchants and betrays
the trust confded to him by his employer,
while the latter palms off the miserable
trash on his readers simply because it has
cost him so much money. Luckily, al
this does Us no harm.

The gentlemen connected with the po-
litical side show at Odd Fellows Hall are
getting uneasy at doing nothing, and with
no prospect of better times. Several mem
bers of each body have asked and OBJ
tanned leave of absence and gone home,
so that now the sergeant-at-arms has all
he can do to get quorum together. The
only diversion they have nowadays is
ballotting for United States Senator.
Every day they go into joint session, scat
ter their votes between three or four can
didates, and then withdraw, daily getting
no nearer a result. Governor Warmoth,
SO far, has had a plurality of votes. His
friends, however, are told by the Reform
ers and straight-out Democrats that if he
is forced upon them they will withdraw
and break up the. Legislature; and, on the
other hand, Warmoth's friends accuse
these gentlemen of bad faith, and say if
Warmoth is not elected they will bolt
Meantime, the Citizens Committee of Two
Hundred, who have been supplying the
money to pay for this little innocent
amusement, are getting tired of these po-
litical Oliver Twists, and are only too
anxious for a pretext to stop supplies.

the colored race in one land from a far
greater oppression in another If our
government accepts the argument made
by the REPUBLICAN in favor Of recog-
nizing the Republican and Anti-slavery
movement in Cuba, there will be no
wrong in manifesting sympathy for the
sons of bondage, black and white, in the
most effectual manner.
We by no means counsel any violation
of the law, or comfy of nations, or any
departure from our position of neutrality,
but as the colored people have manifested
this natural interest in human freedom,
we leave it to themselves and to future
events to determine what action will be
legal and proper. Let the clubs and
churches respond TO the cries of the col
ored people Of Cuba, bowed down beneath
the double burden Of slavery and des-
potism.
