the EVE CT D:TTLs
Grand Gathering OF the Rs2uh-

THE WAR SPIRIT ROUSED!

The still air Of last nigh. was illuniin-
ated with such glorious glow rs Dever
before Ii up the battle eve Of an elec
ton in Carson. Great bonfires along
the line of Carson and Olmsby streets
lighted the way which oar marshalled
hosts were going. Silenced and abashed
by this brilliant prelude to the impend-
ing demonstrations at the Hail, the De-
moc,a,y paled til inetfec u fires and
ventured not to hold the meeting they
had promised themselves and their weak
and faltering followers. A great and
eager throng were gathered at Moore &
Parker's Hall. The band paraded the
streets and marched in triumph into the
midst of the multitude who received
them with cheers. In the midst Of
glorious outbEIst of excitement Mr.. WI
liam Corbett was received as the chair
man of the evening. The band played
patriotic air, thu Campaign Quartettee
sang a song and the veteran Republican
aud eloquent patriot Col. }. c. Zabrlskie
was introduced to the vast audience. lie
made one OF the strongest speeches Of
the campaign. reviewing the attitude Of
parties and delivering q very profound
aud instructive disposition upon the
great and paramount interests Of the
Pacific coast-mines and mining. His
speech created a deep and lasting i'm
preston. After tune admirably played
by our very excellent band, the Glee
Cub sang the following song, Mr.. Mason
singing the air with the full effect of his
clear and mclodious voice.

Chorus 8.

The audience received this with loud
shouts Of appreciation and demanded an
encore which was given. Then glorious
TON Fitch was introduced, and Of course
the audience were electrified. We went
attempt even a synopsis OF his speech.
Suffice il to say that when the maguii
cent apostrophe with which it ended had
been drunk into the expectant ears Of his
audience there welled up from that
great concouIsa such shout as attested
the Splendid effect Of this gifted gentle
mans Incompatible eloquence. Thus
fifty and enthusiastically ended TIE most
satisfactory political demonstration Of
this highly exciting campaign: We re-
gret to state that the proceedings were
momen.arily interrupted by the imperti-
nencies of a Dolly Warden candidate who
is doubtless, by this time, quite
ashamed of himself, and who was speed
lily silenced by the apt rebuke and sting
ing rejoinders of Mr.. Fitch.

Unloading tho Louisisns Monstrosity.
There appears to be some doubt whether
the President will recommend new election
in the Louisiana case; on the contrary, it is
reported that his special Message on the sub
ject takes the ground that no new election Is
necessary. In the absence Of the Message
there u.s. of course, no knowledge of the steps
by which the President has reached this point.
and we can only conjecture, therefore,
whether the objection to new election is
simply an attempt to deny the justice which
it is hoped Louisiana will obtain, or whether
it covers, as it well may, an intention to make
that justice even more complete than it could
be by referring the subject once more to the
voters of the oppressed State.
There are two ways by which the President
might ''unload" the republican party of the
Louisiana iniquity. BY ordering new election
the monstrosity of federal interference in
a State government without right would
be stamped out of existence without
reference to the history of the mon
strosity and, of course, without retrsc-
ing any of the steps by which the inter-
ference Was brought about Indeed, it would
be the popularity of this remedy that it
would cover with convenient decency series
of events that are disgrace equally to the
government and the President and his most
intimate as well as his constitutional advisers.
If We understand public opinion on the sub
ject there was and is general readiness to
assent that the past may be kept covered if
the wrong is now set right. People are dis
posed to believe that the President may have
been msled, that his intention was to act
within the limit of his authority, or that he
was under the impression that not to act in
the premises might have been a neglect of
duty.
Another way 10 ''unload" is by doing Justice
without new election-that is, by permitting
things to take in Louisiana that regular
course which they take after election in every
other State. For this purpose it is simply
necessary for the United States to cease to
support the usurpation it now maintains in
power, and Immediately the rightfully elected
government will take its place. Judge Durells
order is the keystone of the arch of villany,
and if he be impeached for that order the
whole fabric must fall Certainly this would
be the better, the more thorough and more
honest way to UNLOAD" this monstrosity, and
we trust that the Presidents advice against
new election may prove to have this signif-
icance

never were the parties, the issues and the
candidates of Presidential campaign, even
three years in advance of the contest more
involved in doubts and uncertainties than they
are to-day. We shall not have in 1876 rope
tition of the unequal contest of 1872. We
may have scrub race, as in 1924, or break
ing up of the republican party analogous to
that of the democratic disruption of 1860. or
possibly combination of the opposition ele-
ments as overwhelming was that against
Van Buren, in 184O The elections of next
autumn for the Forty fourth Congress will
partially eniighten us on the Presidential
question. The republican majority in Con-
gress, appraised of its responsibilities and its
dangers, is endeavoring to set itself in q
favorable position before the people. 1t can
not afford meantime to quarrel with General
Grant His administration is still the bond
of cohesion to the republican party; but as
the party has fulfilled its appointed mission
it must be reconstructed or it will be super
seeded. It's leaders may assume that for the
time being General Grant is but the instru-
ment Of the party, but nevertheless he holds
the balance of power in determining its
destiny in the struggle for the Presidential
