JOIN Mitchell, the "Irish Patriot, -
receives q parting benediction from the
Richmond Enquirer, to which there can be
no objection, for Mr.. Mitchell, personally
and socially, is a gentleman Of high honor
and integrity. But when it speaks of him
as "a patriot tried and true foe to tYrants,
"and with heart sensitiVely responsive to
"the sufferings and wrongs of every peo-
"pIe, who, in the great and terrible war
"thrOugh which our people have lately

"bis best energies to the success of our

lection to the standard of patriotism and
humanity which it erects. The less Mr..
Mitchel's friends and admirers say about his
course in American politics the better. 1t

regarding many Of the paramount issues Of
the war; but he knows that if the Demo
cratic party should regain ascendancy, it
would soon throw off its mask and show its
hatred of the war amendments to the Con-
stitution In all its hideous disloyalty. He
knows that even now, if it dared to do SO.
its platform would declare the reasonable
theory of State rights to be fundamental
principle, and that if the people at large
were not loyal to the Government as 1t is
now administered, such State rights lead
ers as Senator Thurman would venture to
illuminate their doctrines in more formula
BILE shape than they now assume. 1t is
plain, then, that he will not abandon the
Republican party. No, gentlemen, if you
want President Grant as leader, you must
come to him-he will not go to you. And
further, he will demand Of you that you
shall be Republicans at home in your own
States as well as at Washington.

THE New York Herald of yesterday has
twoarticles designed to perpetuate lis much
Wanted reputation for political ssgaCity and
prescience. In one, upon the Republican
address to the people regarding the Con-
gressional elections to take place in the fall,
it demonstrates to its own apparent sstisiac-
ton the utter weakness and imbecilitY Of
the Republican party, and predicts its fail
ure at the elections referred to, chiefly on
account of the omission of its committee to
indorse the President 1t deems this a con-
fessiOn of weakness tantamount to antici-
patcd defeat What pray, had this COM
mittee to do with the Endorsement of the
President as an aid to the election of Re-
publican members of the Forty fourth Con
grcss2 The present Presidential term only
ends with the expiration Of the Forty fourth
Congress. The President needs no indorse-
ment al this time from Congressional COM
miltees. He is not before the people for
approval OF disapprovsi, and his indorse-
ment by the committee under such circum-
stances might have been construed into a
confession that he had lost a portion OF that
confidence which his constituency had re-
posed ia him. 1t would have been strength
ening a bridge which had not been shaken
b. the storm.
But In the second article alluded to the
HsrqId shows with equal force and pre-
cisIoh that the Democratic State COnven,
tioh Of Indiana has taken fatal misstcp in
Che Reputation of specie payment in the
redemption of our funded debt. This plank
ihsares a complete and ruinous division Of
the Democracy that precludes all possibility
Of Its success.
Thus this astute independent journal has,
in a single day, destroyed both old political
parties beyond hope of resurrection. May
we not hope that 1t will soon relieve tht
anxiety Of the citizens of the republic by
sketching the outlines Of new perty which,
with its permission, may save the country

PRESIDENT GRANT AND HIS P0,
ITTCrAE TEHPTERS,


And now the Democratic press of the
South, or more properly speaking the truly
Conservative portion of it, felicitates itself
with the prepOsterous idea that President
Grant is about TO abandon the Republican
party. From what source this idea is de-
riyel we know not but ii is most Gssurcdly
q great mistake. If there is one thing for
which. above all others, the President is
noted it is an obstinate love of consistency.
Il is only necessary to refer to his record
on the currency question, from his first
public or official allusiOn to that subiec;
down 10 lis veto Of the Senate bill, to prove
this. lie is not, therefore, any more likely
to leave the Republican party than the
Republican party is likely to leave him.
In his conversation with many leading
men OF the South-such leaders as Senator
Gordon. of Georgia, or Gov. Kemper, Of
Eirginia-it is possible that he may have
been led to express. in no uncertain terms,
lis views regarding much that has been
done by the Republican party in that
section. To illustrate: he is reported tC
have inquired why the party in South Car.
Dina does not convict Governor Moses Of
that State Of some of the crimes and misde.
meanors of which he is VIGOROUSLY guilty
Such a remark as this is hardly capable o.
misconstruction; but when men are anX
iously hopeful it is natural that they should
construe things with a prejudiCed appre
citation of their meaning. But the Presi
dent, while condemning Moses as a dis
grace 10 the party, did not condemn tn
principles Of the party. They are as dea
to him as life ITSELF and being dear to him
he demands that they shall not be made tn
basis for the success of rascals, either Of higl
or low degree.
The truth is that today he is the mos
popular man in the Countryside man WHOM
Gordon, Hebert Kemper, Mosby an
others OF like kidney would like to folloI
as their leader. But they dare not scva
their connection with the pcnsieal organizs
ton Of which they are members. The
consequently concentrate their efforts &c
the purpose Of bringing him over to thi
organization. They talk about the submit
sion of their section tothe results Of the WI
and the consequent settlement of polite
issues growing out Of the war; but they al
mistaken if they think the President belieyt
those issues are settled. Strong as he
in the favor Of the people his pop,
larity would fade before Il
burst of indignation from Il
North and from the disbanded ranks Of h
old armies if he faltered for moment
tempered with the allurements which the
willy gentlemen place before him. He MI
agree with them that the two parties Of Il
country do not differ in their platform

COMMENTING upon the correspondence
between the Secretary of War and General
Sherman, the Alta California says: ''Sher-
"man's letter is not convincing, If his
''idea be correct, he could have said much
'-more to support it than he has said.
"Whcther its demands should be granted
els a question which civilians cannot safely
decide without more information than we
"have at present" The modesty of the
Alta California editor in these days when
editors, as a general rule, undertake to de-
eide everything upon no information at all,
is SIMPLY wonderful.
