NEW AND OLD PARTIES.

The effort now being made by the
Ohio politicians to organize New
Party will not amount to much from a
National standpoint. Ohio politicians
of the Vallandigham school are ever
ready TO start something new and thereby
Goat into Office on the tidal wave OF the
new movement. The organization
kaown as Democracy is in the minority,
but il still approximates very nearly, in
point OF numbers, to its successful Radi-
cal competitor. The name Democracy
is nothing; the principles, in direct an
tagonism to Radicalism, are everything
Over three millions of white voters have
for twelve years stuck TO the banners OF
Democracy; and the restoration to
power Of that party known as the
Opposition to Grantism is one of
the most certain events Of the future.
Ohio Democracy has been tainted for
several years with a weakness for afliilia-
ton with Radicalism for the sake of Sc
curing place and power. 1t has never
had the ring of true metal since the
year 1861, when the civil war divided
the two sections Of the country. The
South can afford to remain out of power.
She is too busy at present developing
her resources and gathering up her
scattered and broken household gods to
consider too curiously the crooked paths
which lead toward the flesh pots OF
Office; but the Northern politician is al
ways alive and awake to the allurements
of present and prospective power, and
is DESTROYS of dragging the South at
the tail of the Northern movement
The South can afford to wait, and die
tate terms to those moss-troopers of pol
tiles. The South holds the balance Of
power, and Mahomet must in the end
come to the mountain. In the mean
time we must regulate home politics,
place each Southern State in the hands
Of its true people and drive from power
the horde of carpet-baggers that haunt
the highest places in almost every State
south of the Ohio river. National poll
tics is thing OF the future, State poll
tics is the live issue of the present.

special dated Khiva, June IL, says forty
thousand slaves have been set free by
the Russian occupation.
Advices from Panama Of the 25tl
ult. report that the revolt in Chiriqu
is suppressed. Captain Williams, o.
the steamer Virginius, left his vessel al
Kingston, Jamaica, and returned tc
Panama.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs Off

Consul of the expedition of the iilibuster
steamer, General Sherman, sailing I'M

On the 9th of July it raised in such
torrents in Lima as to penetrate all the
dry weather roofs of the houses, and
created damage to the amount Of half a
million dollars.
A great earthquake was felt at Valpa-
raise at 1872 on the morning of July 9Th.
The shocks were worse than those of
1887. A great deal of damage has been
done to many houses and churches,
though nothing to be compared with the
last earthquake of San Salvador. Some
few lives have been lost by falling walls,
and one lady died from fear. The pris-

News from Valencia, dated the lst, is
t. the effect that canoAading at regular
intervals is going on, musketry firing Is
frequent, and there has been some des.
perate fighting. -Four companies of vol
unteer cavalry under Cavalotte, the Ter
ror, charged on the plaza, attacking the
guardia civil and the carabinlineros.
The cavalry suffered heavily, but cap
tured four barbados.
The government troops occupied the
village of Mislata, but were dislodged
by the insurgent artillery, which was
severe, by old soldiers -deserters from
the Spanish army. The place was taken
and retaken, and is now burning, having
been set on fire from shells from Cuarte
tower in Valencia. Great enthusiasm
prevails amongst the insurgents. The
losses of the government troops ere
heavy.
Advices from Valencia dated August
2, state that the bombardment of Va
lencia by the government troops was
expected to begin on Friday, but was
deferred, the commander being unable
to get his mortars in position. A regu-
lar mortar fire was delivered this NOR
ming, without doing any great damages
a few citizens we're killed, and the church
of San Zabastian injured by bombs from
government batteries. The practice i'm
proved as it continued. A serious COM
bat took place in Maranasa village, near
Valencia, between the insurgents and
government troops and volunteers. One
hundred and fifty men were killed.
The latest dispatches from Madrid
state that an important seizure of arms
was made there to-day.

THE pARnoNING POWER.

The press throughout the country i:
commenting upon the recent act ofGoV
Brown, committing the sentence oil
Early j. Eason from death to that oil
Imprisonment for life. The New Orleans
Times has offered many sensible sug-
gestions on the subject, suggestions
which are well worthy Of the consdera-
tionof our State legislators:
This Tennessee murderer, rescued
from the gallows by The Governor may
in the course of few years get an un-
conditional pardon; thus foul deed of
blood will be expatiated by a punish
ment no greater than that inflicted on
the stealer of sheep or a pair of boots.
This would be an outrage on all decency
and Justice, and an outrage that thep eo-
ple must render impossible. While we
would not take away entirely the right of
pardon from the Executive, public
safety and common sense alike
require that its exercise should be
SO hedged IN as to prevent its pros
titution to the injury of good order
and the welfare OF SOClttJ. luc pdTuOH-
ing power might be confined to cases
where the wrong person had been con-
yicted-as is sometimes the case-or
where bona fde new evidence has been
found which exhibits the prisoner in a
more favorable light, and renders execu.
tive clemency proper. There is final
argument in favor of an amendment Of
every State constitution, limiting the
pardoning power, and that is for the pro-
lection of Governors themselves. They
should not be exposed to such tempta-
lions as they are now liable to in this
respect. 1t is too much to ask of them.
Their sympathies are often appealed to
SO strongly that it requires more than
ordinary firmness to prevent them from
giving way to the overwhelming pressure;
yet, if they do give way, they commit a
grievous wrong against the State, and
give a license, as it we're, to crime. A
constitutional amendment would shield
them from all this, and make it impos-
sible for a legislature to interfere in the
premises.

Governor has appointed Judge
