sHoKING THEIR LANDS

Emboldened by their victories in the re-
cent elections, the Democratic organs are
beginning 10 map out their programme in
case they shall succeed in obtaining con-
troll Of the Government in 1877. Their utter
ances are as yet cautious, their opinions are
carefully worded, but even now, within
less than two weeks from the November
contest, the cloven foot is seen and the pur-
pose is scarcely concealed, that if their party
is restored TO power it will strive in every
way possible onullify, if not repeal, the late
amendments to the Constitution, the amend
ments which the Republican party, repre-
senting the great majority Of the people,
was compelled to pass, in order to destroy
the causes of the war and secure forever
the results which were achieved in its
victorious ending. In this matter we shall
let the Opposition prints speak for them
selves. The New York World, of Thursday
last, in long article, says: whether it
''was wise to adopt the amendment. (tbe'
Fifteenth whether it was wise to deprive
''the States Of all control over the question
'of negro suffrage, and by force of an
amendment Of the Federal Constitution
'to create vast mass Of voters out of
newly emancipated slaves, with q stroke
''of the pen, and without regard to con-
sequences, is not now the question. = . =
''But this great mischief has been done,
''and the question is not how the country
''can retrace its steps, for it is not in human
wisdom TO see how the original mischief
''can be undene; 5St IL is hoW to preUsnt
''the fifteenth amendment from being made
''tbe pretezt for assumptions Of p0ner
''tshieh Il has not girsH, aud far asIieh ace
shall hold the present National AdmiRis-
''tration and It's officers to a just respoHsi
''bilhy." The meaning of this is obvious
Our contemporary is careful not to make an
attack upon the amendment ITSELF 1t
simply strikes at the appropriate legisla-
ton" which it authorizes Congress to enact
in order 10 give its provisions effect and
without the enforcement of which, as we
all know, il becomes a mere nullity in
nearly one-half of the Union. 1t is a plain
notification that as far as possible it viii,
if the Democracy can obtain power, be
rendered of no more avail in the Constitu-
ton than if it had never been placed in it.
The Democratic party has never accepted
in earnest the amendments to the Consti-
tuition, and il is as certain as the sun shines
that it will seek 10 overthrow them the
first opportunity. When they accepted
Horace Greeley as their standard bearer at
Baltimore two years ago they gave in their
adhesion to them, but their acts and their
utterances everywhere to-day show how
utterly insineere and hollow were the
promises and pledges they then made.
From New York TO New Orleans the same
spirit Of hate and hostility to the negro, Of
opposition TO all that the Republican party
has done in the work Of reconstruction, per-
yades the whole organization. When they
get into power, If they ever do, tleir aims

THE New York Times, in the euphonious,
elegant, and polite language which has charac-
terized its editorials since the decease of Mr..
Raymond, stigmstizes a Republican Senator of
the United States as 'the ncw-fangled Jones,
of Nevada" This may be considered by some
as purely question of taste, but it is excused
by the more partial friends and apolegists Of
the Times as being simply the innocent "pet
method by which the present editor of that
journal distinguishes the Senator from the
only other Jones known to him, viz; the chief
stakeholder and business manager of the
Times. The Jones, the real Jones, the pro-
digious Jones, is he who pays the Times
''heditor lis salary, you know, for writing lies
for the blarsted sheet" but the Senator who
pays him "nothink" is "nobody at all, you
know" He is only ..new-fangled, I" whatever
that is

THE Democrats are becoming impatient
A Brooklyn paper tells us that the clamor
for places is so loud in the Democratic ranks
inthat city that the leaders are hard pressed
20 keep their hungry followers reasonably
quiet. ALREADY they are compelled to as.
''sent in advance to demand made by the
''ofice- seekers that all the Republicans
''now holding Office in local departments
''shall be swept out" If Democratic
President shall be elected in 1876 the num-
Der Of hungry men in Brooklyn will be a
mere handful to the horde that will sweep
down upon Washington about the 4th OF
March, 1877. Low diet for fourteen
years, " as Mr.. Norris puts it, has sharp
ening effect upon the appetite.

was the signal for its adoption, and whose opposl-
tion most generally secured its defeat. As chair
man Of one OF the most important committees

dams, and by his opposition to every steal and his
hostility to every fraud, he earned the name OF

A REPORT was telegraphed yesterday
from London that Queen Victoria was dead.
This report found its way into the early
editions Of the afternoon papers, causing
universal surprise and regret. The report,
we are glad to say, proved to be entirely
without foundation, and seems to have
originated in a London bar room. The
utter baselessness of the report is shown
by TIE following announcement made
yesterday afternoon by the London Pal
Mall Gazette: "Her Majesty will leave

THE BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY.

IP1ttSburg Commercial
This seems to be the correct way Of looking at
things. 1t is stated In this connect ion that the
whole coastWise trade from our Atlantic seaports
is still Improbable as 1t has been for year, and
that the foreign steamships are all barely paying
expenses. Indeed It may be questioned whether
there is any really profitable business in the
country to-day That business affairs have greatly
improved within the year is, however, clear TO
every eye. The Improvement has been gradual
and 20 slow as to be almost imperceptible while
going on. 1t is only by looking back that we be-
come conscious of II. Frsm this fact we deduce
the conclusion that the improvement will still 20
on, gradually, but faster than it has done the
past year. Patience, in this case, nlst have her
perfect work. The causes which led TO the last
years panic were deep-seated and radical, and
must necessarily lead to shrinkage in values all
around. The great difheulty is to accommodate
everything TO this general shrinkaRe; and only
when It is over, and when We have all fairly got
down to 1t and realized It, will We see the rapid
Improvement in business which Is the desire OF
every heart. The process is q difficult and slow
one; but 1t is, We think, steadily working itself

SOUTH CAROLINA MASSACRU.
GRTTG

Cb1IS.
The revolution, or whatever else Il can
lie called, which swept over the country
during the last two weeks, has left among
the States two more prominent than all
the rest-South Carolina and Massachu-
sets. The campaign which has just closed
has been one Of anomalies and surprises,
but the greatest surprise and anomaly of
all is that the ''0ld Bay State" should be
so wrenched and torn from her moorincs,
embedded, as it was thought, as solidly
and firmly as her own granite hills, in the
traditions and teachings of a century, and
given over to the enemy; and that, on the
other hand, South Carolina should cling
with stronger and closer fidelity than ever
TO the principles and ideas which Massa-
chusetts has given her, written by the
grand old Commonwealth in letters of
blood and battle into her very soil. From
the very beginning of our Government
there has been no peace between the two.
Between them there has been waged a
constant war Of ideas. They respec
lively represented the two extremes in our
politics since We have had any politics
worth mentioning. More than forty years
ago, on the famous Compromise measures,
their statesmen held opposing lines, and so
they have been all the way down the gen.
erations from Calhoun and Hayne and
Webster to Sumner and Brooks They
have been the poles in our politics and our
history; representatives of opposite ideas
and principles and systems of civilization.

superior as an organizer to any man named FOR
