the quartering of few companies of soldiers
in this city. 1t has visions of Casarism more
terrible than the nightmare which visited its
metropolitan namesake, when the third term
rose like Bsnquo's ghost to frighten the
Macbeth of Polo aud four-in-hsnds. Grim
ghosts from the streets OF Paris and wan
spectres from the shores of Africl, more
numerous and more intangible than those
which crowded round the Ithac.u chief when
he visited Hades, have disturbed the rest of
the Rerold, broken its slumbers and driven It
into q state Of semi idiocy that would De
amusing if 1t did not excite sympathy and
lead to the fear that ere long DR.. Nichols will
have another inmate at his establishment,
and that the profession Of journalism will have
to mourn one of its members But for the
sadness borne Of this thought we should have
INDUCED in unbouuded merriment over the
spectres conjured up by the Herald, but ever
as the smiles came, a wave of sadness rippled
over them, and sympathetic tears flowed when
We pictured to ourselves the editor of the
Herald fleeing, like the wicked, when no man
pursueth, from the unsubstantlal shadows his
Imagination had evoked. As we read ON aud
saw now learIully the spectral Illusion had
wrought on the editorial brain of the Herald,
we could almost see the personnel of that es-
tablishment making an exit from this city so
speedy that game of seven-up could be
played upon the editorial coat-tail, if the
players could obtain horses fast enough to
keep pace with the frightened editor. We
hope that another week will restore to the
Herald its wonted equanimity, and that we
may not be compelled to mourn over con-
tinued alteration of mind on its part, or to
weep over its hasty and uncalled-for fight
from the pleasant haunts of the Capital city
to some desert place where, like the ostrich
when pursued, it would bury its head in the
sand and imagine itself hidden from view.

to enforce two rules directly contradictory Of
each other-the one requiring the board TO 90
behind the returns in order that the Demo-
cratic electors might be secured, and the
other requiring it no. TO go behind the returns
in order that the Democratic Legislature and
State officers might be secured!
VII. This impudeut proposition was rather
too much even for Moses and Willard, and
they declined to grant the orders in the forn
suggested. But their final order amounted
toiprctty much the same thing. Rescrving
the question as TO the power Of the board,
they ordered It to give certificates to the
members who appeared upon the face Of the
returns to be elected. This would throw the
Legislature into Democratic hands ud-aceom-
plish one of the chief Democratic purposes. It
was this order which did nos reach the board

THE cRowNING GLORY OF A GREAT LIFE.

Few men in the history Of the world
have been SO placed as to make the desti
nies of q nation turn on their individuality.
Among these great names we find that of
Cesar, Peter the Great, William of Orange,
Frederick the Great, Cromwell, Napoleon,
Washington, Lincoln, Grant, How few
these historical characters, when we con-
slider the events which have been crowded
into the space Of time connecting the au-
cient Roman Era with the American Re
public of to-day, and which embraces the
thousands of honored names-stars of the
first magnitude, if you plesse-5ut whom
mankind, nevertheless, pass over By COM
mon consent as secondary 10 the great suns
OF the political universe, around which all
other names, however Respondent reyolye
but as satellites.
Fate, Destiny or Providence, ell it by
what name men may, does place certain
men in certain positions where they be-
come the pivot on which turn the ever
contending forces Of human socisty. By
such proTidential guidance (for we believe
in the divine overruling as well as in the
omnipotence of Gods government on
earth) the man who now wields supreme
executive power in the Republic is once
more placed in position where the cause
of peace, of justice, of the supremacy Of
law over anarchy, and where the cause of
civil liberty are all involved in his person
atty. We say "once more placed, be-
cause in the military phase Of the struggle
in which the slavery agitation in the New
World eliminated the same man was called
upon to occupy the pivotal position of re-
sponsibility in the darkest hour of the
nations experience. Again, then, Gene
raj Grant looks out upon the Potomac.
Across this river he sees once more hos
tile land. From this Northern Confederate
boundary line away to the far-ofF Rio
Grsnde stretches vast territory, peopled
with excited multitudes, and where the
national authority is openly condemned end
defed. In the rear of Washington is the
Baltimore of 1860. Beyond Baltimore, to
the North, men are organizing for ayowed
resistance to the national will and to law.
Permeating the entire mass of revolutionary
material is spirit Of partisanship which
for the time being blinds and deafens men
totbe facts and voice Of reason. Mere pas
sion rules the hour.
How Will this man of destiny, as the in
eIe! would call him-the man Of ProVi-

would have been bad Tilden been elected.
Then, indeed. would their lot have been
unendurable. We need no better evidence
OF this than is contained in the utterances
of the Statesviile and Lynchburg papers
from which we have to-day quoted. 1t is
more in sorrow than in anger that we are
impelled to wrlts as we do. being con-
strained by sense of duty to state the
facts as they exist, in the hope that a re-
tuning sense of selfIhterest, If no higher
motive could prove effective, will cause the
leaders Of public opinion in the South to
pusue different and a wiser course
