MINOR cOPIrs.

MINOR topics.
Tie Opposition, unable TO find anything else
to assault the President with, continue to keep
the Third Term caidron boiling.
| Beck, Williams and Leslie are pulling Their
| respective wires with extraordinary persis-
| tency and shrcwduess for the kentucky Sena-
torship.
There will be no 'Tontit" party organized
in 1876. The Liberals are all manfuily CON-
ing back into the Republican fold, except a
few black sheep, whose wool has always been
| unclean and worthless.
The disguised Democracy Lcw propose to
| cover the Georgia Hill with the Wood Of New
| York. But that will not avail. The disguise
is so thin that even the Sunset OF Cox can lie
seen through it.
1t is now written "pdr','Tit HiH, et nI&retm
| TitHcuiuS rira~.' 1t is sad, but nevertheless
| true, that the great Georgia gladiator is laid
| low. If our urreconstructed brethren Of the
South have any more heroes to spare, now is
| the time to send them on.
Nine of the twelve jurors in George Lords
case were convinced of his guilt and dc5irOus
| that it should receive due punishment, and
they represented public opinion. Lord escapes
with the loss OF what Francis saved at Pa

And what the World never had.
When Mr.. Blaine signifed his intention of
closing the debate to-day, each particular hair
on John Young Tiger Rah Browns head stood
on end, and he looked as though he would like
to swallow four or five Republican members.
He was spelling to defend the Andersonvillc
atrocities.
During the excitement and life of the dis
cussion of the amnesty bill the American peo-
pie seem to have quito forgotten Cuba. But
she has remembered herself and her duties.
She has been pressing the Spanish at many
points, winning few decisive victories.
Gushers have become silent; weakened
Republicans straigthen up and look more
manly; the true situation is beginning to be
realized by the North, and the popular Northern
political leader will hereafter be the man who
dares stand squarely on his feet and battle for
the cause of Republicansm and the legitimate
results of the war.
There are twenty millions Of people who
would patiently listen to any apology the
Bourbons OF the South have TO make respect
ing their reasonable acts against the Union
and their terrible crimes against our brave
imprisoned soldiery, but that patience fags
when they attempt 10 defend those crimes
which have MADE the civilized world shudder
Can there be a sadder spectacle in this i'm
poverished age than the gray-headed editor OF
the Cincinnati EnQ'tireT, with both hands in
his hair, bowling "blatherskites, fools, luna
tics and liars" at the Eastern Democracy 3
EJchGDgc.
Well, hardly, unless it be the sight of an ex-
Confederate General defending the atrocities
at Andersonvlle in the Congress ofthe United
States.
When a MON general calls those who were
under oath to serve the United States, and de-
serted its cause to enter the rebel army "per-
jurers," and is asked by rebel general, who
is guilty Of the treason, if he intends to make
a personal application Of the term, it is about
the thing TO say 81 do," instead of be lting
about the bush. A firm and positive eharac.
ter will win the day in the pending cont let in
the House.
The Mississippi eX Confederates are again
asking to bc let alone, AMI there are some
week -kneed, water Drained, dyspeptic Repub-
licans just timd enough to concede to the de-
mand. But justice and right demand that
they shall not be let alone until they feel the
heavy force of searching inves tigation that
VIII disclose to the country the violence,
fraud and infamous barbarities committed
during the last election.
''The American Social Science Association"
holds its annual meeting in Boston to-day. A
more ridiculous misnomer than its name could
hardly have been conceived. "Social science
