ONE after another, prominent abo-
lition leaders have gone to that bourne
&C., &C., and in the course ofnature, the
survivors will soon follow. We know
that they can carry with them none of
the wealth wrested from an oppressed
people and it is idle speculation to in
quire what will avail them, at the Bar
of Eternal Justice, the plea, that the
wrongs which they perpetrated here
the bloodshed, the robbery, the tyran-
.uy-were all in the interest of human
freedom, Union and peace. Unhappily
for their eternal destiny, the record of
their crimes and hypocrisy, has preced-
ed them, and they will be confronted,
in Heavens High Chancery, by the
victims of their pious cruelty. Would
it not be we'll for those who survive
and are revealing in stolen wealth and
still pursuing the path of crime, to
pause in their career and ask what it
will profit man to gain the whole
world, if he lose his own soul?

THERE seems to be growing senti-
ment in favor ola Convention to amend
the Constitution Of this State. Some
desire an amendment that will do away
with Grand Juries, as inquisitoriai and
anti-democratic. Others desire the abb
clifton of the County Courts, as too
cumbrous and inefficient, and the sub
stitution of three commissioners selec-
ted for their practical good sense and
high integrity. We have not yet In
vestisated them closely enough to form
a satisfactory opinion, though we are
inclined to the belief that public justice
will not suffer under, either or both
changes. Nor are we satisfied that it
is safe and expedient to tinker consti
tutions too frequently. They are 81.
Yea y too little regarded, as safeguards
of popular rights. and command too
littie o.f the sanctity accorded, in for
me, times. to such important political
cherts. Wien the federal constitution
became the playthirs of corrupt am
bition, every similar instrument, in
the States, was looked upon as bar
rier TO progressive political villainy,
and therefore not to be yaiaed as a
protection to the rights of the pe9ple.

HAVANA, November 8.-The fol-
lowing dispatch from General Burriel,

sar received of the shooting of the In.
surgent leaders at Santiago de Cuba on

To His Excelisncy the oaptain.Gsneral:

The New York Tribune reports the
tobacco interests as less affected than
any other, by the prevailing panic.
This may be true of the present, but
it may be a great mistake to hope that
this or any other interest can long es-
cape the malignant influence Of an
eight years reign of proAigate govern
ment expenditure and wild, corrupt
speculation on national honorand gen.
eral prosperity. The crash of rings and
monopolies is but the beginning of our
troubles. The reaction upon the mass
of the people, is just beginning to be
felt. All those rings and monopolies
have, bv means of usurpation and a
thirst for irresponsible power, become
part of the government-and so close
" Incorporated with the policy of its
administration, that all must suffer to-
gether, and the shock felt in CONNER
cial centers must yibrate through every
nerve of the body polite, unsettling
every interest, and carrying distress into
every home and workshop. The only
remedy for these evils-if indeed there
be any-is to indoctrinate the popular
heart with love of virtue, together
with patriotic purpose to restore the
supremacy of justice and wisdom in
the administration of the government.

The tens of thousands of laborers
thrown out of employment by Radical
misrule, have the sympathy of all hui
man persons; but this sympathy is
somewhat modified by the reflection,
that the laborers of the North, are, to
a very great extent, the supporters OF
the party TO which they owe their mis-
fortunes. The Radical Mayor OfPhil.
adelphia says they ought to starve
awhile to teach them economy. This
sentiment from such a source, is ad-
ding insult to injury; for the very men
who would teach economy through suf-
fering, are the very men who wal
low in wealth and luxury at the cost
Of the laborers, for whose poverty they
will not even profess a sympathy
Radicalism is the party of capital.

THE election in Ohio has set a few
stupid newspapers to Growing, and
bringing out old mouldy Democratic
cocks; to crow with their thin piping
voices. If Growing we're success, we
should have an abundance of success.
1t is the most meaningless election that
has occurred for long Tobac-
co Leaf.
The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf is out
of humor at the result of the election
in Ohio, and the Democratic press for
rejoicing over the frst victory of the
kind they have had for eighteen years
past. Perhaps it would have been
aaore palatable to its taste had the
Grant Radicals have swept the field.
1t, perhaps. then weuld have meant
something" Our prayer is that just
such meaningless elections may
take place in every State in the Union,
until the country is rid of the party in
power, and all its sympathia9g foes
harmlessly resting atits feet.-Shetby-

THESt. Louis Republican-ironical-
ly Of course--suggesfs that we have,
hereafter, two Presidents-one for
show, and the other for service.
The one to be exhibited at horse-rsces,
fairs, watering places, theatres and the
like, whilst the other remains at Wash
ington to watch over and promote the
highest interests of the country. To
the latter type of President no hon.
est man can object, but suppose the
people, in their immaculate wisdom,
should elect two Grants, would there
not be such an excess ofthe fancy stock
as to call for third President to dis
charge faithfully, the duties of the
Office One, of the right stripe, was
sufficient when honesty was at par, and
wisdom at premium, and the people
have no right to complain of official
neglect of duty, of officers for display,
of the grossest corruption, of public
dishonor and financial ruin, so long as
they, prompted by prejudice, blinded
by ignorance, or rendered Indifferent
by gross corruption, elect to high
places, men who would not be trusted
as clerks in any respectable business
house. All men of intelligence know
that the national banks are a fiscal
agency devised in the interest of capt.
tai and against production and labor;
that the President is but the head
centre of Illicit rings, and that Con-
gress is but the directory ofthe various
monopolies for the sole pupose of
centrating wealth in a few hands, TO
make capital the supreme power in the
land and to crush the millions into
state of ignorance and sbject poverty
that will make them powerless to resist
corrupt and oppressive monied arts
tocracy. Whose fault is it, that Grant
spends his time in drinking and smok-
ing, lounging about race tracks and
fashionable resorts, whilst the govern
ment is left in charge of irresponsible
subordinates? tits the fault of the peo-
pie themselves. Theirs is the power to
elect competent officials, and to remove
the incompetent they fail in the
wise exercise of this power, who is to
blame? Not Grant and the Treasury
thieves drawn around him by the at
traction of affinity. They obey the
instincts oftheir nature, the people do
the same. They are as debased as
their agents, or those agents would
have been removed long ago. The
administration of the government is the
reflex ofthe character of the governed
An honest people will have an honest
government, because they have the will
and the power to make it so. There
is not, to-day, within the confines of
Christendom, a government aud people
so basely corrupt as those of the United
States. There is to be found, no small
amount of intelligence and virtue
amongst the people. but in a govern
ment of majorities, minorities are not
visible upon the surface, nor are their
influences recognized, however strong
the under-eurrent of their conservative
wisdom. A minority of intellect can
overbalance an ignorant majority, but
if that intellectual predominance be
not under the saving control of high
integrity its influence, as now, is all for
evil.

The Franklin Review, il a very dis
cursive criticism of some of our re-
marks, wants to know how we expect
to get rid Of Grantism without the aid
of such men as A. johnson. IN re-
turn, we would inquire what johnson
effected, towards the overthrow Of
Grant, by sending Maynard and three
or four other Radicals TO Congress, to
uphold Grant and his policy. We are
ready to cooperate with any man, or
party to put down Radicalism, but not
with such as profess opposition to it,
whilst they give it aid and comfort.
