The mania for new parties is mani
Testing itselfin the North, at this time.
The most prominent ofthe movements,
is the = American" party-the leading
idea being war to the knife" upon
all secret societies and Masonry in
particular. We look into published
proceedings, in order to learn whether
or not, the party proposes to fight rings
and corners and monopolies, as secret
societies-for secret they must be, or
they could never have succeeded. An
open avowal of their base objects and
the common danger TO all the best in
terests of the country, would have re-
suited in defeat and disgrace. To con-
ceal the objects and the means to be
employed for their attainment, from
all but the initiated, constitutes them
secret societies in the fullest sense of
the term. But as there are no indica-
tions that they will be so considered
by the new party, it is fair to conclude
that the scheme is in the interest of
Radicalism, and that all new party
movements are, more or less, diver
sious in favor of the party in power, if
not manipulated, directly, by its lead
ers. Those earnestly opposed to Rad
icalism, are in favor of unity and har-
mony; whilst those favoring, or indif-
ferent to it, aud having axes of their
own to grind, look to disorganization
as the shortest road to their political
or financial success. The Radicals,
knowing that division is weakness,
promote, il they do not originate, new
party movements, and hence the eager
ness with which all such schemes are
telegraphed and written into notice as
triumphant revolutions in favor of re-
form. Beware of such tricks.

Coulter's. Times are hard, money

can do the best. IL you have not
traded at COulter's store. you ought to
do so this season. He is selling goods
at lower prices than for many years,

THE city of Brooklyn has abolished
the system of education which brought
boys and girls together, in the same
schools; alleging as the reason there
for, the demoralizing tendency of the
mixed system. The Radical Congress,
however. seems to think that the de-
moralization complainsed of grows out
of the fact that the schools are not
mixed enough and therefore, insists
that both sexes of both races shall be
packed in the same rooms, in order
that the neutralizing effects of the het-
erogeneous mass ma. produce com
pound of wholesome social equality
and virtue Consolidation of the
government, being the leading Radical
idea, it is fair to infer that to debase
the masses, IN every possible way, is one
ofthe means to the proposed end. Lib
erty can never find an abiding place in
the midst of ignorance and general de-
basement, and hence the studied efforts
of Radical leaders to give negros prece-
dence over white men and to hasten
the degradation of the latter, through
the agency of mixed schools and en-
forced social equality.
The next step in the programme,
will probably be to force a certain pro-
portion of white females to marry ne
gro men, and the same proportion of
white males to take negro wives. This
is the shortest way to reach the end
aimed at, by Radical fanatics, and the
power of Congress to do this thing,
will hardly be questioned after it shall
have consummated the civil rights in
iquity. If it has authority to enforce
social equality, it has the same right
to determine what social equality
means, in its broadcast significance.

HoPKINsvILLE Conservative, 9th
MIR Wash. Harry, one OF the most
highly-esteemed citizens Of our county,
residing some three miles from town,
was fired on through The window of
his bedroom on last Tuesday night,
between the hours of II and / O'Clock,
and some twelve buck-shot lodged in
the head board of the bedstead upon
which himself and wife were sleeping.
Fortunately, however, the assassin
missed his aim, and Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
ry, through tho guidance doubtless of
an overriding Providence, were per-
mitted to escape unframed. Hr.
Harry says he was not aware of having
an enemy in the world. What motive
could prompt any one, therefore. to
attempt to take his life he is unable to
conjecture"

The limited States Praised.

New YORK, June S.-A letter from
Rome, speaking of the Vatican, says
A curious fact to make record of is
that one frequently hears the United
States praised for liberal treatment of
Catholics both now and with few ex-
ceptions) in the whole course of its
history. The only serious offense
charged against the United States is
that we still persist in maintaining
those dreadful public schools, which
makes it less and less hopeful for the
Jesuits to find in this vast country
ground for the propagation of the
doctrines of the syllabus and Papal
infallibility.

CANoNIZATION OF COLUMBUS PROB
ABLE,

The priests say that what the Catho-
lie church has lost in Europe the past
two centuries has been more than
made up by what it has gained in the
New World. The first steps have been
taken, and before long beatifcation
will be bestowed by the church upon
the name of Christopher Columbus.
Examination of his title to Catholic
heroism has for some time, by COM
mand of the Pope, engaged the atten-
ton of the doctors of canon law. The
claim is founded upon the grand act,
little less than that of inspiration, by
which Chrlstoforo enlarged the boun-
daries of the Christian world

THE following opinion is from one
of the bitterest administration organs,
the New York Times. 1t ought to
know:
THE Southern States are not living
under fair or free government-s0
Mr.. Eaton and many Others allege.-
Well, is the assertion true? Look at
South Carolina. The facts IN refer
ence to that State seem t. be about as
we'll established as any historical facts
can be, and they amount to this-the
negroes, assisted BY rascally whites,
have held sort of grand orgie in the
State for several years past, have swai-
lowed up among them nearly all the
private property in the State, have
ruined what may be called the native
citizens even more thoroughly than
the war had done, have robbed and
harried like so many highwaymen, and
have reduced the State to condition
which must shock every man who sees
it or reads abOutit. The very Governor
of the State is a thief. The Legislature
is gang of thieves. Is this a Repub-
liean Government such as the Con-
stitution expressly guarantees to all
the States?
We venture to say that it is not
that, on the contrary, it is a govern
ment of which the Republic has every
reason to be shamed. No doubt the
system introduced as 'wai>measure"
into the South after the war-ehiehy
upon the advice of Senator Sumner
and Thaddeus Stevens-was expert
mental; but can we wonder that peo-
pie everywhere begin to ask how long
the experiment is to last? There
should at least be some signs of i'm
prOvement visible as time goes on.
Nine years have passed since the close
of the war, and is South Carolina bet
ter governed than she was then? She
clearly is not so well governed as she
was under purely military rule. The
same must be said, mutatis muntandis,
of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and
Arkansas. Now, it is folly to suppose
that the Republican party, as an or
ganizatiOn, will continue much longer
to look on with perfect satisfaction at
this great failure. The leaders of the
present moment may not pay any at
tention to the subject; but if they do
not, other leaders will arise who will
see that justice is done.
