ARRIVAL or DOM PEDRO.

Dom Pedro, Emperor OF Brazil, arrived
at New York on Saturday night. The
Government had delegation to meet the
Royal visitor and welcome him to the hos
pitalities of our shores. Unusual with
men of such unlimited power in their own
homes, the Emperor wished no extraordi-
nary mark Of respect shown him. He
comes to America to learn of the customs,
the habits, the laws, and the capabilities Of
people that he has never before visited.
1t was therefore particularly requested
that he be greeted with no procession, or
other demonstration that would be spe-
cial mark of distinction.
The visit of the Emperor to America at
this season is suggestive Of greater signi6-
cance than if he had come at any other
time. He comes merely as visitor to
America, without any retinue of servants,
no train Of court attendants, and in fact
without any stamp Of distinction, but as a
visitor to the American Centennial to see
its people and be sharer with them in
the centennial of their nations birth; an
event of transcendant Importance to them,
and unravelling picture of pleasing study
to him. There is no nation that has been
more friendly to America than Brazil,
none in which there is SO pleasant an in
ter-relationship with America, and in it,
Emperor we find not only the honest
broad-shouldered man Of mature years.
but we'll read scholar, who has governed
his own people with astute wisdom, and
developed and improved his country by
his fine knowledge Of craftsmanship. Te
such man there isa pleasure in the broad
Democratic composition of the American
nature to welcome to our shores.
He will find country that is progres
sive, and has great deal yet before it
but struggling under the depressing in
Auences ofvery great stringency in monsl
matters, and the impious work Of dis
honest government officials. But if W
could initiate him in his own home
where he has mans head cut off if h
catches him stealing, there would b
enough heads kicking around Washington
to get up centennial show Of them as
warning to thieves, and there would b
some pretty big men among them. Bu

OBlTUAKY-DR. PORTER.

A good man went to his eternal reward
when DR.. Porter died. Few there are
among us, to whom the Doctor was un-
known. The scrupulous regard he always
paid to his personal appearance, made him
a well-knewn man upon our streets:-even
to those who were neither honored by his
friendship, healed by his skill, or relieved
by his charities. We had the pleasure OF
knowing the Doctor; in our first converse
ton with him, we were charmed with his
large, and ready erudition. His mind was
as we'll cultured, and as carefully tended,
as his person:-no tares grew there-ao
chaffy literature corrupted, or weakened
the lusty knowledge which made
him, even outside Of his profess
sion, "a man among men," We
knew him in connection with the
Historical Society, and truly that organi-
cation has lost most useful, and worthy
member. OF his worth in his profession,
and his holiness in religion, others know
more than we, and can more appropriately
speak.
He is but fraction of time before US, in
solving the great mystery Of Immortality.
He stands but very short time in ad-
vance of us all, before the Mighty Judge;
a Judge who found pages Of COED works,
entered in the Archives of Heavens Chan
cery:-to the credit of our departed friend.
So many-as to entitle him to enter the
joys of life eternal.
In the full fruition of his manhood, he
fell before the scythe Of death, as the ri
pened ear, to the husbandman's sickle.

SLATE MAKING.

1t was with the mentioning of the name
Of fAndrew Jackson that old king caucus,
received blow from which he has never
entirely recovered. TWAS then the GUS
tom of the High Priests of the party to as
semble themselves in Washington, when
free of Congressional labors and pick out
candidate without giving their constit-
ueney any right ofsay at all, and from
which there was no appeal only by boiling.
But that was in a day when the Amerl-
can idea ofpolitical privilege was not so
enlarged as it is now, and people now depend
more upon the exercise of individual opin-
ion than to place their entire political
destinies in the hands of a caucus. Thus
it is that caucuses have lost their populari.
ty and are dead npower. Thisslate making
is therefore an assumption of power that
no caucus has right to delegate to them.
selves. By what right few men can as.
semble and shape out a ticket and call il
the choice Of the party, we cannot for the
life ofus see. The mass of the peopl,
have the dictation Of their choice, through
those whom they appoint or elect as dele.
gates, and it is in this way that the choice
ofa party is to be properly learned, ant
not through few who thrust themselve
forward b sheer impudence and littl
party confidence, and announceit as part,
choice. If that is what they call part
choice, then the sooner we select a fe,
dictators, all the more readily will tn
states be fixed up and great deal Of tim

rRE COMMERCIAL AGAlNST
RIGHT.
FOR PRESIDENT

The Commercial has given name, date
and circumstance to its charge, not against
Mr.. Bayard, but against Gen. Dix for his
illegal violation Of the constitutional right
to organize and arm militia. 1t appears,
by the Commercial, that the odium Of this
invasion Of right, does not rest upon Gen.
Du Pont, but upon Gen. Dix. We were
otherwise informed but may be wrong.
Where we ask the Commercial, is the
evidence Of any act, or word, betokening
want Of fidelity to the United States on
part of Mr.. Bayard, or any one Of his COM
mand?
That in the license Of power Col. Wal
lace disarmed the State Guards, proves
nothing save the wrong doing of Col. Wal
lace, in obedience to his superiors. A tree
is to be judged and determined as to its
orderan class, by its fruit, blossoms, leaves
and wood. Itself is to furnish such evil
dence; hence the justice Of Col. Wallace's
acts, are to be Judged alone by the deeds,
intentions, or words Of the organizations,
dispersed by whim Of power, in the mad
whirl Of political passion.
The State of Delaware, was to be the
prize-who vouches the truth of the in
Formers charge, against the State Guards ?
The dishonest contractor, the pilfering
official, the wine bibbing shoddyite, all had
the ear, CT the Commanding General The
liberty loving citizen, who shuddered al

was not permitted to remon trate. 1t was
therefore easy to slander, and defame, a

San Diego.

The understood compromise between the
present monopolists Of the transcontinental
transportation and the Southern Pacific
railway Ene-otherwise, between SCOTT and
HUNTINGToN--it Is said, amply protects the
nation against O, prolonged monopoly after
the southern, road is finished. But it ,ap-
pears that the; people Of San Diego
are aroused by the apprehension that
the compromise, compromises their sea-
port dasG a terminus of the south
ern Pacific line. We hope not. San
Diego has the finest harbor OF, the Pacific
coast, and the shortest communication be-
tween the:Atlanticg and the Pacific by rail
is to that harbor. To leave it out altogether
would be to deprive trade Of the finest adj
vantage it could have, and to wrong the
South by; denying her the noble, natural
favor conferred upon her by her geographic
cal position Such wrong cannot be per
manentiy done to the South; but why, do
that wrong Of alls + aor ii.iasy
The San Diego interest has taken the
alarm, and viii, tits said be strongly rep
resented this winter in W ashington. Colo

and establish solid peace upon the trans

Discrediting the Witness.

On Wednesday Mr.. BANNING, Of Ohio, in
the House of Representatives, caused to be
read ut the clerks table the correspondence
in which General SHERIDAN referred to
Governor WELLS, Of Louisiana, as trick
ster and dishonest man." 1t was a sort OF
work OF supercrogation for WELLS Is
known far and wide as amongst the worst
Of bad men. :, MIR. FRYE, OF Maine, imme-
diately planted shot that seriously dam
aged the credibility Of the witness by say
ing that General SHERIDAN had said that
nearly 5000 political murders had been COM
mitted in Louisiana. FRYE wanted to make
SHER1DAN's testimony as damaging to the
Democrats as it was to WELLS; but as 1t
was not at all needed to impair the irrepa-
rable fame OF that leper among party tools,
1t only exposed SHERIDAN's own dishonesty.
Mr.. SPENCER pronounced his assertion false !;
and that, too, was unnecessary, for the
whole country has long ago decided that
when SHERIDAN made his assertion it enti-
tied him to wear the belt as the champion
liar of the United States. .
Mr.. GARFIELD, however, undertook to
vouch for WELLs's honesty and reliability.
That was heavy job for the Ohio party
tactician; and he is SO we'll known as a
blind partisan that we suppose nobody
thinks any better OF WELLS for being thus
defended. In old times the great disgust to
young, people was the idea Of "gar-broth
thickened with tadpoles.'" The dish, set
before Congress by Mr. GARFIELD in de-
tending WELLS must have borne some re-
semblance to this broth in its effect on honest
people,s sensibilities

Our contemporary Of the Petersburg Foss
resorts upon us with regard 70 the SOUTH
side claim for Office In multitarious wise.
He repudiatcs Colonel WIrKERs and GOV
er-ner WALKEs as not southside men, and ne
also repudtates General MCDONALD, and
DR.. BaasY, and Captain WALKER as South.
side men. They were for years residents OF
the Soashside, and wese sustained as such
by soushside sympatnies; but, being elect
ed, they are citizens Of Richmond, accord
ing to the Post, and Richmond IL charged
with them. This IS too bad. Ia this way
Richmond could never get an ofiice. The e,
southsiders-and what ots--nay move to
Richmond, be elected, and then De charged
TO Richmond! .a.t.is,.tgs j.
Is this fair, that the Southside shall re.
pudiate her sons the moment they get office
And continue her claims as though no son
Of hers had been elected at alp We thought
the southside, like England, claimed hen
sons wherever they might be. We GER
tainly felt sort Of injustice to our.
selves; for, being charged with having
been Southsiders, we feel that we should
not lose the royal protection merely fol
crossing to the north bank OF James river
Would that be Just :? We hope for better
protection from the broad wings OF our los
ter mother.
But how are we to understand this South
side dominions What are Its bound
aries? Shall not Mr.. (now judge
BURKs, of Bedford, be counted South
slider? Is Bedford out Of that enchanted
regions We have known the Southside
party battle-cry to stretch on toward Little
Tennessee, and some who hail from the ut
termost parts Of the "sou-west +" have pro
fitted by Southside relationships. Is the
Southside an elastic region? Is it to be
stretched or shortened to suit the case P
Really, we have great aversion for sec
tionalsms in Virginia. So they are good
men who hold Office, it is no matter what
part OF the State they come from. But we
have no fear; sectionalisms or not, the
Southside win not suffer. How does she
compare with the Valleys We mean the
mart north OF James river. 1t Is extensive,
and has great and good men. ..a. sH
This sectionaIism Is stuff. Is the section
man lives in part of his merits9 Is he
made wiser or more capable by it? We
have lived in, .Lynchburg, but we did not
unlearn this fact by SO living there, and
had thought that time Of probation there
established In mans mind that sort OF
cosmopolitan liberality and comprehensive
ness that is Mt war with narrow views and
sectionalisms. II not, Lynchburg is in.
deed /" good place to 60 FROM"
Let us repudiate all narrow motions. and
nominate our next Governor for the same
reason for which the Post says Governor
WALKER was Observation-Disclosures he is the
best representative Of the whole State.
