The Dominion has new political
scandal The Ministry Of Quebec are ac.
cused Of exchanging government land worth
upwards Of 100000 for a tract owned by
private parties, valued as is generally esti.
mated, at some less than 100000. Several
Of the Ministers are charged with having
secured, through this transaction, handsome
little sums for a rainy day, while the editor
of a Montreal paper is accused Of receiving
100000 for advocating the swindle. The
people are very bitter in their denuncia-
tions Of the government, and two rousing
indignation meetings have been held in
Montreal. A change in the Cabinet is
deemed inevitable

Letters just received from missionaries
Of the American board at Cesarea present
an appalling picture Of the suffering from
the prevailing famine Ia region nearly
as large as New England, embracing ancient
Galatia and Cappadocia, in consequence OF
a drought, last season, cutting of the grain
crop, followed by an unusually long and
severe winter supplies Of all kinds for man
and domestic animals were in many places
wholly exhausted. Floeks aud herds have
been greatly reduced or wholly destroyed
Men, women and children, fleeing from
their homes, have persisted by the roadside
and sometimes in the streets Of the cities tC
which they fed for food. The missionaries
in Cesarea, at the last advicos, were dis
tributipg bread and soup to hundreds Of al
classes who came to them for help.

The elections held last week in North
Carolina, Kentucky aud Tennessee, resulted
in substantial triumphs for the opponents Of
the administration.
The best information we have been able
to obtain, however, leads US TO believe that
the victors have little cause to be proud
over the means used to obtain the result
There was determined, and it appears a
successful effort, made in each Of these
States to array the white element in the
population 10 opposition to the colorcl.
Especially was the civil rights bill made
the test Of harrangues toinaame one class Of
the people against the other, and prejudice
was aroused to the fullest extent against
the colored race. These means We regard
as particularly Objectionable, and we shall
be surprised if they do not return to vcx
their inventors The history Of the whole
world goes to prove that this kind Of hos
tile arraying Of class against class, is dis.
astrous. and we trust this is the last cxhi.
bition we shall have Of it in this free country
We certainly hope the result in these
States will not have the effect to urge or
the White Leagues and the White Men,
Party. There is need Of moderation here
The Democrats must not imagine that they
can go on with the prosecutions they have be-
gun against the colored race with impunity
Open fair and honest elections are wha
we must have. But in places where tn,
negroes are in the majority, they must hay,
the Same right to vote, aud have thcir bal
lots respected that the Democrats Of Nortl
Carolina Kentucky and Tennessee have.
To be sure Northern man cannot com
prehend or fully understand the pecuia
prejudiccs which animate the man born an
bred in the South, They look at the sam
thing through different colorcd glasses, au
. one is, perhaps, just as honest and just a
confident he is right as the other. Th
Northern man looks at the enforced mir
] Cling Of the two races as au act Of justice t
= the blacks, aud, beside, experiences none {
t the hardships and inconvenience which are
e and must be, the inevitable accompaniment
= of such mingling; the Southern man fee
e that, while the negro may have an equi
4 right to freedom and the pursuit Of happ
n ness, he is yet his inferior in culture an
: natural intelligence, and that forcing II
+ two into disagreeable companionship is O
r act Of needless oppression. 1t is this fee
: ing and conviction which has created
!. strong a feeling against the blacks in tt
e South, and such wholesale detection in Il
s, Republican ranks.
d For months past, during the propar

One feature of the recent Southern
elections, which is unwelcome, is the eyi.
dence of increasing animosity between the
whites and blacks. The riots in various
parts Of North Carolina and the bloodshed
in Louisville, Ky, have a sinister look,
Whiskey may have been the occasion Of
these disturbances, but it was certainly not

We had occasion on several occasions to
speak in terms Of consure Of the course
pursued by the Republican party in Louis.
lana and it gives us the greater pleasure
on that account to speak well Of the resoli.
tions adopted at their late State Conven-
ton. Among the resolutions it is declared
that duty aud sound policy alike constrain
US to nominate and support for office none
but men of known honesty and capacity,
and. that men who arc unmindful Of the in
terosts Of the State and those whose records
are a reproach 70 the party shall not be per.
mittod to force themselves upon US in any
capacity under any pretenco whatever"
This resolution has the true ring, and is
good Republican doctrine Not only in
Louisiana aud in the South generally, but
all over the country it is the duty and pol
icy Of the Republican party to nominate
and support for office none but true and
honest men. Hereafter as heretofore this
will be a cardinal part OF its creed. If it
has in some cases been deceived and disap.
pointed in the past, it will be the more eau
tious and cireumspeot in the future.
The resolutions endorse the State Admin.
istration for its action while coutcndiug
with au organized system Of viIidcation
or Misrepresentation" aud by presumption
does not endorse it while contcnding for
other principles The White League De-
mocracy, and the attempt growing out Of it,
to bring about a war Of races in the recon.
structed States. are condemned and de-
uOuuevI In a,,ios forms. The Republican,
Of Louisiana are earnest and determined IL
bringing about all needed reforms 10 that
State. The resolutions pledge the party t,
a reduction Of expenditures to the loves
possible figure, and for fair aud honest cleo
tons throughout the state, and in this de
termination they will have the hearty Go,
speed Of their party everywhere.

There appears throughout the West to
DE, with a certain class, a dissatisfaction
with the manner in which our government
has been conducted, and this dissatisfaction
finds vent in so-called Independent con.
ventions. Indiana, Illinois and Kansas
have held theirs and although the attend
ance is generally small, aud the opinions oil
those attending are anything but harmoni'
Gus, still something may be learned by read
ing the platforms adopted. The Kansas
convention adopted resolutions iavoring the
repeal Of the national banking law, asks
that the tariff on lumber be abolished
wants the income tax restored, opposes do
mating lands to railroads, and wishes the
President aud Vice President elected by 0
direct vote of the people.
But there is nothing in these positions
nor in any others contained in the resolu
tions, upon which to found new party, anC
the idea Of organizing one upon so slim anC
fimsy a platform is the merest nonsense
In all the essential reforms these lndepcnd
onts ask for the Republican party is thei
bost and wisest friend, aud will so show it
self in the future as it has in the past
This gathering, however will be likely Il
serve one good purpose--it ought to shoy
the utter uscles,noss Of third party AM
that the people do not want IT,
The great mass Of the voters Of thi
country are clearly Of Senator Morton
opinion, that there is no chance at thi
jun"iufo for third party, aud the' No mat

blinded to the designs Of these new NOV,
ments, and that they will not give their SUI
