The Louisville Courier Journal affects TO
know all about it, as thus: when the war
comes, as coming it is, it shall be civil
war. The North must be the scene of con-
fiict, not the South.-B0sioR Journal.
Assuming that the above quotation is not
qualified by the context, it is a pretty bold
prophecy. The editor Of the Courier Jour
nal is an ex-rebel officer; he has lately
been in Washington; not particularly dis
erect. he is Southerner in all his hopes
and feelings. Is this mere effusion of the
fancy evolved by and "between the sherry
aud The champagne or is it premature
utterance Of the secrets of the Southern
Democrats? The next House Of Repre-
sentatiVes will be Democratic. The Senate
will he uncertain, because the balance of
power will be held by few members not
Recognized as in strict adherence 10 either
party. Suppose, then, the Democrats should
elect their President, the courts, the army
and navy, the popular suffrage would soon
be in the hands OF that party. The Southern
State Constitutions could readily be changed
because the Constitution of the United
States could be changed. The status OF the
negro could be fixed in real serrlom; the
Southern war debt could be voted 10 he
paid by Congress, and the tax upon prop
erty would he collected by United States
officials. The resistance, either at the polls
or otherwise, would come from the North.
Does the Courier Journal see the prospect
,of Democratic success throughout the coun-
try, and, also, in that success the future
which will drive the North to bankruptcy
or secession? With all his rodomon JADE,
tue editor of the Courier journal usually
has an idea at the bottom of his talk. How
is civil war 10 be brought about? What is
TO stimulate it? Who are to be the agrees
sors and why? 1.-THE fact is so certain,
thara faugI Ia aompltnlv who Ennxya how
it is going to be wrought out-Prorid Rcc

Apropos 10 the article which we publish
ell last week on Reform Within the Par
ty," we notice the statement that Gov.
Chamberlain meets with formidable oppo-
sllion in his efforts to give South Carolina
good government. The corruptionists have
openly declared war against him, and have
organized ring TO oppose the funding Of
the State debt, and TO impeach State Treas
urer Cardozo for "multiform misconduct"
But the Conservatives and Independents
are rallying TO the support of the Govern
or and Treasurer, and announce their de-
termination 10 rout the impeachers, and to
insist on the settlement Of the debt under
the Funding act. The final adjustment Of
the State finances under the only possible
honest and satisfactory basis will leave the
spoilers, who are still numerous in the
Legislature, no further chance for plumber;
and they will use every means in their
power 10 prevent it.

The resolution looking TO the recognition
of Brooks as Governor ofArkansas was bad
~ defeated in the House Tuesday, mainly
through the instrumentality Of Judge Po-
land, who made an earnest speech against
Interference with State Governments. This
speech is said to have been the ablest Mr..
Poland ever made in Congress. HE was
unusually animated, and was listened TO
with the closest attention. He made many
splendid points, his speech was full of wit
and humor and ii brought the House into
excellent temper. When he sat down it
was evident that he had carried the House
with him."

By vote OF IS yeas to 20 nays, the Sem
ate passed the Civil Rights bill on Satur-
day, and having received the signature Of
the President, it is now a law. All the
amendments proposed to this measure were
voted down 10y large majorities, and the
bill passed exactly as it came from the
House. The school clause which was re-
gard as the most Objectionable part Of
the bill, was stricken out in the House,
and all that the bill in its PRESENT form re-
ally provides for the colored race is the
right Of admission 10 hotels, places Of
amusement, and the jury box. The Jury
section is the most important one lett in
the bill, but it will obviously be easy
encugh for any State that so desires, to rem
der it practically imperative. The bill was
opposed by Senator Carpenter in an able
speech and he with three other Republicans
and three Liberals voted with the minority
against the passage of the bill.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MURDER
Gustavus Gould, of Wrights Mills, was
shot, Saturday afternoon, by a man named
Bryant, an employe of the Central Yer
mont Railroad, one ball grazing his head
and another taking effect in his arm, where
it still remains. II seems that about three

Mrs. Donahue, lady to whom Bryant had
been paying some attentions, in the course
Of which he had made her some presents.
Since her marriage and prior to Saturday
Bryant had made Mrs. G Guild call, osten-
sibly TO secure the return OF the presents
above mentioned. On Saturday he called
again, and when Gould entered the room
where his brothers wife and Bryant were,
the latter drew a revolver and fired at him
twice, with the result already mentioned.
Gould then rushedNpon the would. I've muir
derer aud wrested the revolver from his
grasp, when Bryant fed, and had not been
arrested mp TO Monday noon.
