Pennsylvania has certainly made
an honest effort, through Mr. Randall,
one of her Representatives, to have
the scandal imposed upon her by the
President in pardoning Brown, the
reporter, explainep. But the Chief
Magistrate, so the Acknowledgement
informs the country, is too high for
investigation and responsible to no
one in the exercise of the pardoning
power Consequently he can snap his
fingers at those who have questioned
the propriety of his clemency towards
the Philadelphia criminal. To such a
reliable man in the Republican party
as George w. Childs, whom it will
neither do to offend nor admit into
the secrets Of Administrative policy,
Gen. Grant has made the statement
that he was deceived in regard to the
case of Brown by misrepresentation
made to him by certain petitioners
but to those who have followed the
instances where he has been conven-
iently credulous before, the excuse
will appear like very hackneyed sub
terfuge. The removal from office of
Mr. Smith, the Dislrict-Attorney who
convicted Brown, will hardly be &C
cepted as natural method of express
ing sincere regret at the mistake he
had made, but rather the consumma-
ton Of party pledge which was
only half fulfilled when he exercised
his irresponsible prerogative. The
President has formed strong attach
ment for judiciously dispensed mer,
cies as means to certain well. defined
ends. The power consorts with his
love OF absolutism, and may frequently
be more effective and less dangerous
than another form Of winning support
frequently practiced by less fortunate
officials. -Boston Post.

ELECTIoNs.-Further returns from
Connecticut do not seem to alter the
result of the late election as stated in
our paper last week. The State Sen
ate is Republican by one majority, and
the House is Democratic by II Or IA
majority. The Ohio Constitutional
Convention will be composed of a
large majority of Democrts and liber-
ais. Several large cities have just
chosen Democratic officers. "Bully'
for our side.
The Boston Post in speaking OF
the result of the recent Connecticut
election, says:
although the Democracy gain
nothing in Congress, it secures anoth-
err State, and, what is still more valu-
able, 1t puts on record an emphatic
decision Of the people against the
corruption and chicanery represented
in Radical rule at w ashington.

of the other Modocs-,Vhite Modocs-
victims of Black Republican misrule I?
The farmers in the West recently have
been holding a great agricultural con-
vention to resist the expressions of
Congressional misrule to combat
against the expressions of Railroad
kings, the imposers of exorbitant
freight rates. These farmers are the
Modocs of civilized life-the men who
live not upon the voluntary offspring
of a virgin soil, the fleet deer and the
ponderous buffalo, but the Modocs,
who anxiously till the sterile soil, and
watch the clouds, and the the signs of
zodiac with the tender interest of
mother registering in'her careful watch
the changes of fever in her child.
What shall ace sag of these Modocs?
Why do they not fight ? When men
who have assisted the radical party
through its entire career of plumber,
stand up before their townsmen and
exultingly boast that their money is
exempt from taxation, when great
enterprises of improvements, upon
which the veal of communities seems
to depend,) are debated-what can be
said in condemnation of the Modocs
who rise up in their places and COM
plain of the oyer-taxation of the farm
ing interest ? The whole body polite
is sick with the evil fruits of the radi-
cal policy. The great mass Of the
artizan, the agricultural, theprofession
al class is irksomely bearing the TN
equal burden of Federal taxation,
while the men who subsist upon '7ast
gears lractice," in bleeding privately
and professionally, are enjoying the
emoluments of an oppressive system
of Federal Bonds.
The original query recllrs, rW the
Nodocs ,fght? Will the people of
this coun try tolerate the oligarcy now
in power Will official misrule 90
on unrebuked? Will the instincts of
a great people be continuously out
ragged ? The recent elections in New
Hampshire and Connecticut seem to
show that the Modocs are on the war
path. But, then, according to Radi-
cal authority, it is merely apathy which
tolerates these outbreaks either in the
East or the West. The people are
valuable only as payers of taxes, as
the servitors of the Bondholders, who
will not build Railroads to Woodstock
nor help pay the National Debt. -

slaughter of the wilderness and of the

Trade with Canada.

1t must by this time have become
perfectly evident that Canada can man
age to get on without reciprocal trade
with her. More than that, we are tea
ching her the independence that we
shall only have to pay greater price
to overcome in the future. The very
recent discussion of international trade
relations by the Dominion Board of
Trade at Ottawa, at which two men,
bers of our own National Board W ere
present, revealed a feeling of in
difference for which the United
States Government has itself mainly
to credit. 1t was not denied at all
that mutual trade relations were ex-
tremely desirable, provided they could
be established without a loss of self
respect on Canada's part; but the
prevalent sentiment was that the Uni
ted States should now take the initia-
tive in the matter, since it was by
their act that the Treaty of 1854 was
abruptly terminated, and it has since
been their opposition or irresistible in
difference that has prevented renew
al of its general provisions. In this
the Dominion Board, it cannot be de-
MED, are substantially correct. 1t is
now for the United States to take the
first step, for which the people of both
countries have long been growing i'm
patient. Nothing more important than
political reasons has held back the
United States government, and these
are of the flimsiest character. We
have nursed the delusion that by mani
testing a dead unconcern for close
trade relations with Canada, that coun-
try would the more eagerly seek their
renewal. 1t is an error that requires
no longer time for it's satisfactory de-
monstrasion.
Of the sixty to seventy millions OF
traffic that is annually carried on be-
tween the United States and Canada,
the latter now clears almost thirty
three per cent. So heavy a trade bal
ance against us ought to suggest that
Reciprocity would do much towards
annulling it, while likewise quickening
trade itself and multiplying its mutual
advantages. 1t is certain that the
trade of Canada is increasing yearly,
the productive resources of that coun-
try being in state Of steady and rap
id development. We are an immense
premium on the lumber drawn from
there, occasioned by fifty per cent
duty, a necessity to which we are now
more than ever driven by the destruc
ton of our own forests in consequence
of this identical tax. Reciprocity
would remit that heavy charge upon
an article that enters so universally in.
to the supplies demanded by civiliza-
ton. The rest of the trade Of Canada
is likewise fast going to off to foreign
countries, and our obvious policy
should be to arrest and turn its enrich
ing flow across our own territory
This is peculiarly fortunate time fol
reviving reciprocity, for the Fisheries
question is settled amicably and per.
manently, and the navigation of the
ST. Lawrence, the canals and the
Lakes is all satisfactorily arranged

products in exchange for our great

to act now it will will inevitably ripen
into independence. The President is
