ion until they were seized by the throat.
But, as il is, forwarned is forearmed.
Congress can, if need be, protect itself
by I'm army Il hundredfoid greater than
Mr.. Grant is able to evoke in from the
intimidated South. If New York
should give her mind to the business,
she could send anywhere from three
hundred thousand to eight hundred
thousand men to protect the liberties OF
the country, and with considerably bet
ter captains than Grant to handle them.
But we hope the President dosen'l
mean to scatter Congress; we shall
trust TO his good nature to let it as
semble, and perhaps sit peaceab!y, if il
behaves itself and make no more inves-
legations.

THE SITUATION.
From the Vicksburg Herald :9:h.]

rFrom the Vicksburg Herald :9:h.]
The situation this morning is any
thing but encouraging to the Demo-
Gratis, and to lovers of fair play all over
the country. Military force is supreme
in South Carolina; in Florida the Radi-
cal Returning Board has thrown out
enough Democratic precincts in one
county to give them the State, by nine
teen majority; in Louisiana, King
Wells, backed by Grants soldiers, has
everything his own way, and he coolly
refuses to compel Radical Supervisors
to report the returns from Democratic
parishes and informs the counsel that
If the returns are not mt hand that
they cannot be counted. No one can
longer doubt that it is the purpose okthe
Radical Administration to claim all
three of the disputed State for Hayes.
Grants soldiers, which he said he sent
to see fair count of the votes actually
cast, are being used entirely for diff
ferent purpose, aud the falsehood can
no longer be concealed. Force, fraud,
and falsehood are the means by which
the Radicals are determined to over
throw the choice of the people.
When this programme was begun,
public excitement ut the North was to
Il certain extent claimed by the fair
promises of the Radical leaders aud the
fair words of the President himself.
Grants order to the United States
officer to go to the disputed States and
secure the peace and II fair count of the
votes actually cast, threw the Northern
people off their guard. Since he has
disclosed his real purpose, AS now seen
in three bayonet-ridden States, and
since there can no longer be any doubt
ON the part of the Administration to
declare Hayes elected, whether he is or
not, the situation becomes extremely
critical. The Republic

are, 1t II his custom to engage within con-

has her reasons for declining to place the
castle at the Princes disposal; and 1t is not
difnculf TO conjecture what those reasons are
IN three months from to day the Prince OF

learned something more about the mysteries
OF court etiquette, that be has enlarged his
notions OF bis personal irresponsi oility, and
which cannot fail to charm all who are
brought into contact with him, be Is pre-

same influences, regulated by the same
motives, ready to go through enormous sac

I've, put unwilling TO realize or TO act upon
the truth, that certain petty and irksome
responsibilities are the inseparable penalty
which be must pay for his position, and
which therefore claim his diligent submis-
sion.
1t is impossible to blame the Queen II sne
takes deeper and more serious view OF the
responsibilities of His Royal Highness than
His Royal Highness does himself To her.
at any rate, Windsor Castle Is not only the
home OF the English monarchy, IL Is the
home OF multitude of august and sacred
memories. To the Prince OF Wales, uuac-
companied by the compliant friends of his
heart, Windsor would certainly be intolera-
able. even during the Ascot week. Excite
mept and society have become necessities of
his nature, with which he can submit to an
extraordinary amount of fatigue, without
which his whole nature seems Instantly to
collapse.
When the Prince Of Wales shall have be-
come Albert Edward of England, IL years
have not even brought the philosophic mind,
no one will be able to gainsay him the COM
pan1onship OF his choice. The responsibility
will rest absolutely upon himself. At pres
ent the humors And amenities which would
certainly characterize q week at Windsor
spent by young man who is not King of
England, and who has merely the best
chance OF becoming King OF England, with
his customary satellites, could not be mat
ter that would concern the Prince OF Wales
alone. The Queen therefore is, from her
point OF view, entirely justified In the course
which she takes.-l London World.
