says that journal, that there is a
strong repugnance in Congress and the

to what may grow into unreasoning
prejudice There is one line

CALEB CUSHING AND THE RAIL.
ROADS

AsOEADS.
1t is said that the railroad lobby at
Washington are unit for the confr-
nation of Caleb Gushing, and this is
used as an argument by Western Con-
gressmen against him. The presump-
ton is, that with his well known views OF
~, E.-.itsstiv1Is Imposed on the Federal
Government by the Constitution, he
would be apt to decide as unconstitu-
tional any law enacted by Congress to
regulate railroads. Hence it is said
the railroads are working for his con-
firmation. If this be SO, these rapa-
cious Knights of the Road are display
ing an unusual lack Of shrewdness.
ANY Congressional legislation on the
subject would produce Railroad Ring
Bureau in Washington, that could be
readily manipulated by the monopolists
with Credit Mobilier devices and the
due observance of the three Radical
virtues of addition, division and ST.
lence." But a Supreme Court
decision denying the right of
Congress in the premises, would
remand the aggrieved producers and
consumers to the several State Legis-
latures for redress. And that is where
the question ought to 90, and would be
more manageable by the people, with
less chances for corruption. Tom Scott
once ridiculed a simpleton who accused
him Of lavishing money for campaign
purposes; explaining that it was much
cheaper to buy the whole Pennsylvania
Legislature after It was elected. By
the same logic, King Scott might say
now, that it viii be easier to manipu-
late Congress on the railroad question,
than to manipulate thirty-seven State
Legislatures, each closely scrutinized
by its own people hboring under the
local grievances OF railroads. The
nearer the people bring government
home to themselves, the better they can
watch It, and denounce and punish cor
ruption or infdelity. Democratic prin-
ciples offer the best solution for the
problems Of the day.

Has Grant learned lesson from the
Louisiana enormity? His sole argu-
ment for supporting the Kellogg out
rage, wss that 1.-The courts must be sus-
tanned" Now be asks the Radical
Governor Davis to ignore the decision
Of the Texas Supreme Court, Radical
though 1t be, and submit. to the verdict
Of the people. Has Grant lost his con-
idence in the infalhbility of Radical
Courts, since the Judge Durell he once
sustained with bayonets and Gatlin
guns, is now on the crucial rack of Con-
gressional inquisi5ors? What a pity
that Grant did not develop this regard
for 1.-The verdict Of the people" one
short year sooner. The hecatomb Of
lives sacrificed at Colfax in Grant par
ish would have been spared, and the
now bankrupt Stateof Louisiana would
have made a start on the tedious road
back to prosperity. Having now con-
fessed his error, and urged on Gov.
Davis the Justice of yielding to the
verdict of the people" it remains for
the President to prove his sincerity by
applying his Texas logic TO the unhap-
Ply situation IN Louisiana.

From the Memphis ApDeaI

FROM the Memphis Appeal.
West Tennessee rightfuIy claims the
honor Of furnishing the next Governor
of Tennessee, and We believe this Just
claim is conceded by the other two d.
visions Of the State But
II makes no difference from what Sec
ton Of the State We may select can
didate Cor Governor, he VIII be defeated
unless those who oppose Radicalism act
with discretion IN the canvass for Gov
ernor and members of the State Legis-
lature. Gov. Browns majority was
comparatively small, and the election
of Maynard governor iof Tennessee is
confidently relied on next November.
Nov. the moral to be drawn from the
lesson We have been taught is, that if
the party is to maintain its
aseendancy IN this State,
thorough reorganization Is necessary.
It's conflicting elements must be recon
ciled and harmonized, and the spirit
that once animated the rank and file of
the party must be reused anew to COM
bine, as one man, to resist and over
come, as of old, the danger that is now
impending, and which, if full prepare
ton be not made to meet 1t, will ineyi-
tally turn this State over to Radical
rule. II IS this danger we are now
called upon 10 confront. 1t is not i'm
mediate, but the warning signal cannot
be given too soon. Weknow what that
thing called Radical rule was In the
past, and we may judge from those
bitter experiences what 1t would be IN
the future. Are we ready to accept
back the same class of men who were
foisted upon US by prescription and the
menace Of the bayOnet? Nothing but
our own apathy, nothing but the
most fragrant neglect of the duty we
owe to ourselves and our State, can
restore them now to that authority
which they once had, and which they
so grossly abused. But by our own
fault We suffer them TO regain the pow
er we wrestled from them, no amount
of atter-acceptance viii avail If once
they are repossessed of the State gov
eminent, if once again they get control
OF the State, holding as theywill all the
Offices, and backed as they would be in
every way by the federal administra-
ton, they might bid defiance for years
to come to all our efforts to dislodge
them. Are we prepared to weakly sur
render the power we recovered with so
much difficulty, and to make a few
white men and many thousands of ig-
norant and credulous negroes the guar
dams Of our local interests and the
arbiters ofour liberties? If weare not,
now is the time to take such measures
as viii avert the peril

THERE appears to be an unpleasant

house, to demand satisfaction for an
article which appeared a week ago, re-
fl5cting on Mrs. Grants holiday re-
ception so soon after her fathers death.
Piatt, however, was not at home and
did not therefore give the satisfaction
that was anticipated. Piatt informed
the police, who guarded his house for a
day or two. In the meantime young
Grant became Quoted. The affair was
magnifed by rumOr into a very consid-

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia statement
from Gen. Sickles has just arrived from
Madrid concerning the negotiations
between Spain and the United States
on the Virginius affair. 1t appears
that from the 9TH Of November, when
Gen. Sickles was officially advised by
Secretary Fish of the capture of the
Virginius, until the l4th Of that month,
Sickles acted mainly on his own judg-
ment. On the 18th Of November, he
received by cable Secretary Fish's Ella
b0rate instructions of the 18th From
the tone of these instructions, Gen.
Sickles supposed that the United States
Government had assumed 81 positive at
titude. He read the greater portion of
them to Carvajal, the Spanish Minister
for Foreign Affairs. That official COM
municated to the ministry, and the
Spanish government came to the con-
clusion that the United States Govern
ment was IN earnest. Sickles gave
the Spanish Government to understand
the inevitabls consequences 1t might
expect If it failed to make immediate
and ample PREPARATION for the past, and
to give security for the future. He
managed his case so that on the night of
the 9th of November he succeeded in
bringing the Spanish government to
terms. A protocol was drawn by him
self and Carvajal, which was to have
been signed on the morning of the 28th.
1t had been submitted to the ministry.
and approved. On the morning of the
18th, the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs informed Gen. Sickles that he
had received a more favorable offer of
settlement directly from the govern
ment at Washington, which the minis
try had at once accepted, and negotia-
tons with the American minister were
considered at an end. Two days after
ward, ON the 30th of November, Mr..
Fish informed mir. Sickles that
he had signed the protocol of the

MORMON NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
EATTVn0

A correspondent of the Chicago Tn
buae states that Joseph Smith, son of
the founder Of the Mormon sect, is the
leader OF q pretty large number of re-
formers who discard polygamy and
Brigham Young, and contemplate set
Ting in the beautiful town called Maui
VOC by Joseph the first, from which the
Mormons were driven some thirty years
ago. 1t now contains some LOGO in
habitants, but should Smith and his
followers make it their home, it is
thought it will soon boast of a popula-
ton Of 10000. 1t is easy to see that
all property holders in or near NauToo
VIII gain largely by such an increase of
industrious citizens, and on that &C
count the reformed Mormons will be
welcome. 10 Smith is known, and said
to be respected in the town where he
viii locate; and his money, and strength
in art and industry, through his Euro
pean artizan followers, will screen his
Church tents from close scrutiny. No
part of Illinois has a better soil than
the country about Nauyoo, or is better
able to support large manufacturing
city. The Prairie State has already
had wonderful growth in wealth and
population, and almost every where in
Yites cultivation as a garden.
