Political BrerSfses.

MEMPHIS dT1~H: WE do not know
what Bourbon Democrat means, unles
il implies that there is q class of ole
politicians who, as the hackneyed phras,
has it, forgetting nothing and learning
nothing, do not recognize any issue a,
settled by the war, and are ready to in
augurate another rebellion. We know
of no such Democrats, and such charge
should only emanate from the Radical
slander-mills. The only rebellion pro.
posed by Democrats is a rebellion against
Radical fraud, corruption, proifigacy,
and despotism.
The latest rumor from Pennsylvania
is that Cameron and Forney are entering
into a combination to secure that State
for Grant and third term. II is easier
to comprehend Forney's favoring third
term than his reconciling himself with
Simon. Even for that, however, there
may be an explanation but il probably
involves larger figures than those re-
quired to express the modest sum Of
$4,000.
IT is notable fact that the colored
people are losing their interest in
Emancipation Day. In cities where
formerly thousands of them marched in
procession, only few hundred appeared
this year. This is very noticeable in the
Southern States. The romance of the
thing is evidently passing away as Sambo
gets down to the "hard pan," and has to
fight the wolf from the door on his own
account.
SENATOR LOGAN prints card deny
ing the truth of an affidavit in which
certain Mr.. Wheatley charged him with
recruiting troops for the confederate
service, and leading them out of Illinois
into Kentucky. of course, very FEW
ever believed that the story was literally
true; but ii is fiction that illustrates
Logan's character so admirably that his
acquaintance even were at loss to
know whether to believe it or not.
Everybody knows that he would have
done so if he had thought it would have
advanced his political prospects cents
worth. He was too shrcwd not too
honest-to do it.
"WARRlNGToN," the well known Bos-
ton contributor to the N,us, writing of
"Grant and Grantism," in that paper,
truthfully observes of Mr.. Grants party:
If it lives, its head, body and members
must be changed, and it must change its
Southern policy and give up bayonet
rule, and discharge the thieves, be
thoroughly cleansed, renovated and
drenched. What matters it, then, whether
it dies or mott A man may sentimentalize
over his old punch-bowl, or cane
bottomed chair, or the dead bouquet and
worn gloves, but not safely or agreeably
over the defective cess-pool. A party
which tolerates Grant or Grantism can
do no good to anybody living.
VICE-PREsIDENT WILSON'S fondness
for plain speech on political questions is
bringing down upon him the wrath of
the Administration journals. The Pitts
bnte. Vice'pres;don, W;lson h.s ,ed a
very respectable and useful life, but he is
certainly unnecessarily garrulous these
latter days. He is afflicted with nervous
