PAE1s, May 19.-The moderate Right
object to any impersonal Septennat, be-
cause it would be equivalent to a recog-
milton of the republic. The extreme
Right are determined to oppose Goulard
or any other chief of the Ministry whose
platform embraces the adoption OF the
constitutional bills. Goulard finding no
sure support in the Left, Centre or
Right, is therefore compelled to rely
mainly on the minority in the Assembly.

A NOTABLE GRAND JURY.

In our kilograms published yesterday,
we find an expression which strikes US as
noteworthy as TN evidence of how deep
ly the poison of partizanship has corrupt
ed public Affairs, even to the administra-
ton OF justice. We refer to the announce
ement that Governor Moses, Of South
Carolina, has been indicted by Repub-
lican grand Jury for grand larceny. etc.
1t is not to the disgraceful charge, of
which there is no doubt that the accused
and his predecessor Governor Scott, are
guilty, that we now wish to call the at
tention of our readers, but to the pecu-
liar phrase indicted by Republican
grand jury" Now what in the world
has the political leanings of the grand
jury to do with the question of the pre-
sumptive guilt or innocence of Governor
Moses. Did the fact Of this, or the other
jurymen being Republicans, make Gov
ernor Moses commit larceny or cause
certain facts to constitute that offense,
which they would have failed to do il the
jury had not been Republican. II a set
of men placed in the responsible position
of a grand jury are to take political con-
siderations into effect, there would be no
more safety in the United States in 1874
than there was in 1898 in France under
Robespierre, Danton and Marat. Pro-
scription for opinions sake does not now
go quite the length of beheading men,
women and children because they do not
fully agree with the political notions Of
the powers that be. But it has gone this
far. and it is a melancholy truth to be
obliged to own, that political bias will
make men excuse crimes committed by
men Of their own political stripe, which
they would execrate in an opponent.
This vice has corrupted official transac-
ons and the administration of justice to

MONOPOLY.

The Virginia papers are grumbling
about the cost of water. There as here,
is company which has practical mo-
nopoly Of the water supply, and there as
we'll as here, the exactions Of these COM
panies are found very burdensome. 1t
is no use preaching, when a monopoly
has got the advantage of community, it
will use it, sure. You may talk till you
are blind, or try to convert dead don
key by singing psalms to it, but you will
sooner make the deiunct animal pros
elyte to christianity than melt the heart
of a monopoly, especially when the latter
is in the convenient form Of corpora
ton. Then it is nobodys fault. Then
nobody is to blame and nobody can afford
any relief. This is all very well for Mr..
monopoly, but for his victims it is not SO
we'll. Whether it is water, or transpor-
tation by water or sail, or anything else,
it is Just the same Directly the mon
ster wakes fat and feels his strength, then
he throws off the mask and coolly asks
you "What are you going to do about
it," This inquiry is frequently poser,
because it is very often the case, that
nothing can be done; but for all that it is
not the less irritating to be mulcted,
though at the same time one knows that
the extortion has to be submitted to.
There is, however, one use to which this
hard experience can be put, and that is
as a guide for the future. True, it may
be said to be on the principle of locking
the stable door after the stud has been
stolen. That may be all SO; but the peo-
pie have more than one steed, they have
a whole band OF them, and when one is
stolen they should look after the others
all the more carefully. Therefore in
future, when granting privileges, conces-
sions or immunities, it will we'll reward
the people to look very closely into every
proposition Of this character, to be sure
that it does not contain the germ OF q
serpent, that will afterwards sting the
hand that brought it into existence. This
Is what the Central Pacific, the Union
Pacific, and every other subsidized I'M
dertaking are doing. To come back,
however, after this long depression, to
our starting point, We fear the Virginia
folks as well as we Piochers, will have tc
put up with the exactions of the folks
who control the water supplies, for The
simple reason that we cannot help our
selves. Unless the legislature steps il
and makes matters good deal worse, fol
that is the invariabe termination of al
legislative interference in this State.

THE MARRIAGE.

To-day Miss Nellie Grant is to be mar
ried.to Mr.. Sartoris. We are glad to no
tice by our kilograms that the wedding is
to be as quietly celebrated as the posi-
ton Of the parties will permit, and that
all evidences of an official character are
to be strictly avoided. This is very SEN
sible and very proper. OF course all the
various jenkinses OF the great papers
and the Washington newspaper fun
kies that feed on government pay, will
slop over with any amount of fuss and
fiummery and tunid balderdash, but the
young couple and their friends cannot
prevent that; no doubt they would if
they could; but as they can not, will
have to submit to be-slavered by every
literary knight OF the shoulder knot.
The occasion, however, is one IN which
all Americans must feel a great interest.
The daughter Of the Chief Magistrate Of
the nation, fair, winsome, innocent rep
about like Ruth, to cast her fortunes
with the husband Of her choice. No
State reasons have negotiated this match.
1t is no marriage de CONVEYANCE but
is the conservation Of the most sacred
and strongest tie in nature, the union Of
two loving hearts in the holy bonds
of matrimony. We, therefore, in com
mon with our fellow citizens, offer the
young wife as a fair and worthy daughter
Of America, our best and heartiest wishes
for her continued happiness and pros
perity, and trust that the husband of her
choice, may by the tenderest and most
sedulous care, render her new home in
Albions sea grit isle bright and happy.
Let all generous hearts unite in wishing
health, happiness and prosperity to the
young couple.

such frightful extent, that when Re
publican Governor is brought to book for
his offenses, the news collector notes with
establishment that a Republican Grand
Jury indicted Republican Governor for
grand larceny. The press agent, who
would not be a whit astonished that an
official placed in aposition Of high honor
and trust would stesl-that has become
too common TO excite notice or remark
bu, that Grand Jury should be SO
mindful Of their duty and Uaths as to in
dict man of their own political stripe
is so remarkable, that the man blase
with the excitement of hearing Of every
sort of folly and frailty, that human
nature can originate, actually, like Sir
Charles Coldstream, experiences sensa-
ton, and marks with languid feryor, that
Republican Grand Jury has indicted
a Republican Governor. Now, it is not
for the purpose of casting odium on the
Republican pirty in particular that we
refer to this, but to partizanship in gen.
erll, when carried to such an extent that
it warps the the judgment, obscures the
reason, and so deadens the conscience
that crime may stalk boldly over the land
without fear of retribution; if it is only
wise enough to don the colors of those
who control the conduct of public affairs.
We, however, believe that the time is
be removed, when people will cease for
party's sake to invent and follow new
codes OF morality, framed to suit the ex-
igencies of q political organization. The
sooner that the period for this reforma-
ton is at hand the better for the country.

Enough, however, has already been de-
