The Arctic Expedition.

The sketches of the Discovery and the
Alert, will attract attention to the new
Arctic expedition to which the vessels
are attached. The expedition, which is
to leave England at the end of May next,
is under the direction of the English
naval authorities, and is to attempt to
reach the North Pole. 1t consists of two
steamers, the Alert, which was built for
the Royal Navy, and the Discovery,
which formerly belonged to the Dundee
whaling feet. The route up Smiths
Sound will be followed, and one vessel
will be left near the eighty-tirst parallel
rs relief ship, while the other will at
tempt to gain higher latitude.
The expedition will not only be more
thoroughly, equipped than any previous
Arctic expedition has been, but its plan
gives us good reason to hope for its sue
cess. There will be no serious difficulty
in reaching the high latitude formerly
reached by Captain Hall. Buddingtsn,
who succeeded to the command after
Halls death, was unwilling to run the
risk of proceeding further with only one
vessel at his command. The plan Of
having ship at the point where the
Polaris wintered will enable the English
expedition to push forward with the
other ship, without incurring the risk OF
losing their only means of transportation
home. Should the vessel with which the
attempt to penetrate beyond Polaris' Bay
is made be caught in the ice, her crew
can return by the land to the relief ship.
In any event a sledge journey to the Pole
will be attempted, and if one Of the
steamers can only force her, way few
degrees beyond the furthest point reached
by Hall the success Of. the sledge journey
can hardly be doubted. .,,.
1t is not altogether pleasant thought
that the discoveries made by Kane, Hall
and Hayes In Smiths Sound will be inn
proved not by the Americans but BY. the
English. Any jealousy of the gallant
British sailors who are to try to plant tht
Union, Jack at the Pole would be un
worthy of brave men. Still it was by
Americans that the route through
Smiths Sound was first explored, and th'
work ought to be completed by new
! American expedition. We wish th'
English expedition all possible success
but we cannet help wishing that the frs
flag to wave over the North Pole shoul'
be the flag which1hss hitherto been tn
only one which has tapped in the breeze

THE Republican party in Ohio rapidly
gains strength. The Ohio Literal. the
organ of General Brinkerhoff, repudiates
with scorn the idea of Liberal conven-
ton, and brings out the regular Republican
ticket with these energetic words:
"Men and brethren, voters of Ohio, citizens
of our peaceful and prosperous and happy
Commonwealth, there is but one way to meSt
the danger which impends over us as deadly
and as threatening as the rebellion impenled
over US in 1861, and that is to stamp il out
Stamp it out as you would an incipent conla-
grafton. Stamp it out with votes at The Octo-
ber election. Stamp it out with a hundred
thousand majority. Stamp it out, or the cen
tennial anniversary of Republican liberty, AMI
order and law which is to be celebrate in 1878,
will also be the Inauguration of the beginning
OF the end which is sure to follow a national
triumph of the Ohio Commune"
That will do very well for a recruit, 1"
says the Cincinnati Gasette, and it might
have added that the recruit has remark1
bly, clear conception of the possibilities of
the future. You may call it the Com
mune' in, Ohio, if you please to do so; but
in other quarters where the designs of the
Southern Democrats, the controlling inspi-
ration of the Democratic party, are under
stood, it is called the revived spirit Of seces-
sion. If Gov. Allen should be reelected it
would be a victory for the State Rights
Democracy, nothing more and nothing
less

SECRETARY of the Senate Gorham, ac-
cording to the Territorial EHterprisc, ''is
"just at this time probably receiving more
"abuse than any man on the Pacific coast.
"He is called by all the epithets in the
blackguard's vocabulary, and every Sin
"of omission and commission is laid at his
"door." When it is explained that Mr..
Gorhlm's calumniators are Democrats and
Independent hybrids this assertion will
astonish no one who knows him, as we do,
70 be one of the most Straightforward and
incorporating Republicans in the coun-
try. The shafts of SANDER pointed al him
from such sources will fall harmless at his
feet. There are few men in public life
who have won the respect and admiration
that is yielded by friend and foe to him
wherever he is known, and here in Wash
ington, where his every act has been the
subject of closest scrutiny by political ene-
mics, he has made an enviable record as an
honest and capable official. But as he is
brilliant speaker and an efficient manager
it is natural that the Opposition should
assail him in this wanton manner.

ever, he makes .an allusiOn to this journal
prompted by recollection, no doubt, OF
personal difference with gentleman who
was its editor before the present editor aud
proprietor obtained full control and msn-
agement of its columns. With that qnes-
ton, or allusion, we have nothing to do.
1t is IA matter between Mr.. Wilson and an
other person who cannot possibly become
party to this controversy.
Wehave gone into this somewhAtleng
explanation because Mr.. Wilson has seen
fit to give a widely extended circulation or
publication to his letter, assuming that we
have done him injustice. We deny this
charge. We have simply criticised and
commented upon his acts, somewhat hArshly
at times, perhaps, but never expecting
that our course would provoke the Vice
President of the United States to take up
his pen to begin or end newspaper con-
troversy. We hope it is ended. for it is
disagreeable thing to be compelled to &C.
knowledge this continued absence Of dig
nifty and proper respect for his Office on his
part, and it is still more disagreeable to be
compelled, in selfdefense, to explain the
real character, or lack of character, OF a
man who should enjoy the respect and con-
fidence of the American people. We have
no fsvors to ask of him, however. and have
had none in the past. Onthe contrary, the
boot is on the other foot. He would not
now be in condition to provoke this reply
from us had it not been that the shrewd
management of THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN at Philadelphia gave Virginia the
floor instead of Tennessee. Because that
shrcwd management secured his nomina-
ton we feel that we have doubly the right
TO criticise him, and we do it without hest
tation solely upon our own responsibility.

early attention of Congress To the avenue
and recommend an appropriation for its best
practicable Improvement from the capitol

SOME SHARP CORRESPONDENCE In REFER
ESCK TO THE UNFoKTUNATE LADY's CASE.
a rather sharp correspondence between DR..
X. J. Patterson, in charge OF the Batavia
(Il.) insane YUM, where Mrs. Lincoln was
confined, and Judge James b. Bradwell is
published. In letter to Judge Bradwell, DIR.
Patterson says, with reference to Mrs Lin
coin, that he is quite willing to believe that
the objects of Judge BIS visits and the nu-
merous letters OF Mrs. Bradwell are well
meant, and not designed TO promote unres [
and d1scontent, but he has become fully con-
WINGED that such is their tendency and result
He further says:-"I see no good to her, but
harm only, In discussing with her the cues
tion of her removal from this place. II tends
TO keep her mind in q constant ferment over
questions which should not be determined by
an insane mind-questiOns which should
never have been discussed with her" Judge
Bradwell, In his reply, reminds DIR. Patterson
that he CDR. P.) first suggested that Mrs. Lin
coin should visit her sister, Mrs. Edwards
and adds:-''I am satisfied that Mrs. Lincoln
does not require to be confined in house for
the insane, and that it would be greatly for
her good to be allowed to visit her relatives
and friends. She pines for liberty. Some of
the best medical men in America say that ID
is shameful TO lock Mrs. Lincoln up behind
CRATES as she has been, and l concur with
them. i believe that such confinement is in
furious 10 her In the extreme, and calculated
TO drive her insane. Are you not going to
allow her TO visit her relatives to see il in
will benefit her, or will you take the respon-
sibility and run the risk of the American
people saying hereafter that ii was the re-
straint of your institution that injured Mrs
not allow her to visit Mrs. Edwards, and in
sist on keeping her in close confinement, and
1 should be satisfied that the good OF Mrs.
Lincoln required 1T, as / certainly shall
unless there Is change In her condition. 1,
habeas corpus cannot open the door OF Mrs.
Lincoln's prison-house."
