c@sarism.


Some newspapers are ridiculing the
views of the Louisville Coarier-Joarnal
about Grant and Casarism. In their crit
icisms these newspapers are partly right
and partly wrong.
This country viii never submit to a small
usurper-any shoddy Cromwell, any base
metal Napoleon. 1t win not bow its neck
to the yoke of man of low instincts, of
grovelling tastes, Of vulgar associations,
whose brain never throbbed with large
idea, whose lips are incapable Of uttering
in public three consecutive sentences, aud
who is wholly destitute Of those magnetic
qualities which draw a vast and enthusias-
tic following from among all occupations
and conditions Of the people
Grant is not Caesar of any sort what
ever. He has been called "the man on
horseback" But those who dread him
may rest assured that our Rubieon will
never be crossed by one-horse man.
Nevertheless, it remains true that great
evils would spring from his reelection to
third term, should such an absurdity ever
occur. Our Caesar may come in time; but
he viii approach along the seemingly harm
less paths of precedent, and he win take
possession according to established forms
Of law Indeed, it will hardly look like
usnrpation to those who witness il. II
win come on so gradually and stealthily
that subsequent history alone will be able
to trace the line of its march and the
causes of its triumph. Even the wise and
the doughty who live in the evil day, will
have become so disguised and weary with
the corrupt rule of low, mean men, that
they viii calmly yield to the domination
Of one of large brain, lofty soul, and strong
hand.
But third term for Grant should be
opposed especially BY Republicans. 1t
would establish precedent wherein some |
man Of very different mould might here
,fter seize, and then under color of law
overthrow republican institutions. Resist
is maxim as old as Rome,
md as wise as it is venerable. HBy gnaw-
ing through dixie" said Edmund Burke,
'even a rat may drown a nation" And |
4hus might ii be with Grant and third
ierm.-N T. Sun.
The Washington correspondent Of the |
Chicago Times says Cesarism is no myth. |
Grant is as assured in his own mind of |
another term as though the third inaugural
,ath had been taken. What is to hinder
him Who is to hinder him ?

MEMORIAL DAY N NEsTniNNfEg. Memo.
rial Day was celebrated in this ciiy, on Salur-
day, May aOlh, with appropriate ceremonies,
For the hrst npe in four years the services
Of Decoration Day were concluded without
fear Of the storm which has interrupted them
on former occasions. The evening Was beau
tiful and calm, and everything passed OF IN
perfect order. Promptly at Q O'Clock, 7. N.
Captain Al. Billingslea announced the pro-
gramme Of exercises, which were opened with
the singing Of the . Battle Hymn Of the Re
public b choir Of young ladies and gem
tlemen, Ia the chorus of which the largs as
semhlage Of people joined their voices. Rev.
Mr.. Leech, Pastor Of the NJ Il. Church, de-
livered a feeling prayer, in which he alluded,
in beautiful and touching language, to the
widows and orphans Of the brave soldiers to
whose memory we had come 70 do honor, in,
voking the Divine blessing TO rest upon them,
and to unite once more the people Of this
great country, North, South, East and West.
At the conclusion Of the prayer, the choir
sang Collins beautiful aud appropriate ode
:" How sleep the Brave Mrs. Hurley
presided at the organ, and Prof Hurley
accompanied with his violin, the sweet
strains mingling with the voices ami adding
greatly to the successful rendition Of thistruly
hNt Cpu1pNoltOus AAt OtuAth VI thN my
Capt. l.. 4. Byers, was then introduced, aud
standing there, with his eloquent badge Of
honor, the empty sleeve of a brave soldier, II
needed not the pathetic and beautiful address,
in which he alluded so feelingly TO his brave
comrades who lie buried in our cemeteries
and on the battle field, to bring tears to many
an eye, causing many Sympathetic hearts to
throb with emotion. He spoke Of the bitter
feeling that had existed so long in our beau
tifnl country, which was now dying away, and
giving place TO peace and harmony and re-
fcrring to the brave soldiers who laid down
their lives in defence Of right and justice, each
as he understood and believed it be, whether
bis uniform was blue or gray, he said he be-
lieved, that as the soldiers in blue stood
clasping hands with the soldier in gray on the
great camping grounds Of Heaven, they were
smiling approval upon Us, as we laid our
floral tributes upon the graves Of the fallen
braves, irrespective Of creed, color or politi.
cal belief, and that as they stand hand IN hand
as brothers on the bright shores Of eternity,
let us clasp hands over their graves here on
earth, not forgetting as we lay the laurel on
the grave Of the blue, 10 lay sprig Of will
low on that Of the gray, thus keeping their
memory forever green, and honoring their
brave deeds and heroic death. Atthe CON
clusion of the Grafton, the choir sang a"Dec-
Grafton 0de;S' written expressly for the ocea,

Having cat ont the substance Of the
people IN South Carolina, Mississippi, Lou
isiana, aud some other States Of the South,
IN negroes ought now 70 emigrate 70 the
Northern States, which win afford them,
for time At least, much better forage
than the exhausted States Of the South
Besides, they win find a the Northa Eel
low feeling, that win put them into ht
olkees, seud them to the Legislature, 70
Congress, and 70 many other positions Of
trust and profit, that would make life far
more agreeable in the North than in the
South The Northern people would lose
no time ii carrying out, practically, the
principles Of The Civil Rights Bill, wheth-
e il passes Congress or not The colored
people would soon be installed as jurors,
Legislators. school teachers, &C., and would
cross their legs under the mahogany Of the
elite, press their eider-down couches, drink
their champagne, and deleetate themselves
IN their psrlors. They would ind life in
the North very different thing from what
ii Is among the cane.brakes and cotton
plantations Of the South. Let them emf
grate to the North, by all means, if they
would better their condition, and let emil
grafton societies be formed throughout the
South 10 aid them in making their exodus,
A few millions Of them transplanted 70 the
Northern States would be a great triumph
Of the principles upon which the late war
was based, and would illustrate, still fur
ther, to the people Of the North, the beau
tics Of manhood suffrage and impress
them more fully with an idea Of the duties
they owe to s'the man and brother" Let
emissaries be sent to all parts of the South
to propagate the idea Of emigration andto
prepare the colored people for their depar-
ture. In old slavery times emissaries we're
very active and the underground railroad
did a lively business. There is now no
obstacle to their hegira. Let them ''stand
not upon the order Of their going, but go
al once Open arms and generous i'm
pulses wait to receive and welcome them.

THE CASE OF THE ADJUTANT GENE
RAI.--The Baltimore Amaican of We'd
nesday says, it win be remembered that
when General McBlair ousted General
Bier from the Office Of Adjutant General
three years ago, in the course Of the pro
ceedings before the Superior Court Colonel
Marshall, counsel for Gen. Bier, raised the
point that McBlaif was ineligible to the
Office on account Of his participation in the
rebellion: The question was argued at
length, but Of we remember correctly
Judge Dobbin did not pass upon the point,
Biers petition being dismissed because il
was shown that he had never been legally
sword into Office In the contest between
Gen. MeBlair and Gen. Bond for the same
Office, the point was again raised against
McBlair, and Judge Miller has ruled it
good, and refused to allow writ Of man
damus to issue on his petition.

RIruALIsM.--The subject Of ritualism
has been a disturbing element in all the
Protestant Episcopal Conventions which
have assembled this year 1t is to end in
. widespread schism, as truth and error
cannot abide together in harmony in the
same organization. The church may as well
awake to realization Of this fact at once,
and shape its policy accordingly. A few
years more Of unavailing hope that time win
make all right, further persistence in a
temporizing policy, will be fatal. Every
observant mind must see this. The only
hope is in prompt and decisive action. 1t

LOOK roTHE STREETS "A lady of Westmin.
ster begs us again to remind our citizens of the
necessity of cleanliness in our streets. Remove
thegrass from the cutters, keep down the weeds,
gather up the waste paper driven up and down
by the wind, frightening horses and causing
them Ito break from their hitching posts. Don't
empty into the streets shop-sweepings, trim.
mings, ashes, straw, paper, or other litter, it
looks slovenly, and gives to our city an untidy
appearance. A little attention TO these things
is commendable, and gives an air of comfort,
thrift aad cleanliness, besides promoting the
general health.
