new 1OFk statesman OF the " true blue"
radical type. How much Mr.. Wheeler
has had to do with fulfilling the creation
Of man, we have at present no means Of
knowing; but the Monaghan doesn't
come into his calculations, and all this
twaddle, we suppose, relates to the
African negro not to the noble red man,
or the peanut-eyed races of the east.
The field of buncOmbe and the field of
sham are the Elysian ones into which
the radical statesman most delights to
enter.-Ne1O HqUea Register.
Gov. Chamberlain, of South Caro-
lima, wants troops. He wants them, Of
course, to protect the colored people.
The government of that state is entirely
in the hands of the colored people. They
control its entire machinery-the laws,
the courts, the arms, the militia, the po-
lice. They have a majority which the
white men do not pretend to be able to
overcome. But it is proclaimed that
theyican not protect themselves. Aaginst
what? Against the consequences of
their lawless acts. The worst elements
of the colOred population combine to
commit outrages, and the best elements
of the whites assist the officer of the law
to arrest and punish them. Therefore,
Gov. Chamberlain calls for troops that
they may be encouraged and protected
in lawlesssness. This is the old story
and the old game.-AtJantic Condition.
The terms of the seventeen republi-
can members'of the senate expire next
March. Five of them represent states
in this part Of the country, viz: Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, and New Jersey. The senators
from New Hampshire and Rhode Island
have been already elected for the coming
six years; but legislatures are to be
chosen this fall which are to elect sena-
tors in the room of Blaine, Boutwell,, and
Frelinghuysen. New jersey can GER
tainIy be carried by the democrats, and
Frelinghuysen be got rid of, provided the
campaign is properly conducted. There
are hopes even of Maine. At all events,
Blaine, who holds his seat by the favor of
the governor, can be defeated, for the
republicans dare not make his election
for six years an issue in the canvass.
Massachusetts, will probably go repubi-
can, but we do not believe that Boutwell,
will get back to the senate. Steps have
already been taken for the nomination of
some members of the Legislatures in these
states. The friends of reform should be
on the alert, and make an end of Blaine,
Boutwell,, and Freinghuysen.- N Y

| The northern papers almost without
exception approve the summary killing,
by mob OF Infatuated people, of the
three rufians who were the other
day running amuck in the streets of
Newark, New Jersey. The Hearld it
self, which has been filled to overlooking
with venomous Indignation against the
south by the Hamburg fight, does not
censure the mob which bounded the
brothers ThielhOrn to their death. And
vet the circumstances of the killing by
the Newark mob were in every detail
quite as revolving to refinement and to
the sentiment of humanity as were those
of the killing of the Hamburg mob. The
victims of the Newark affair were not
executed after capture as were the
swashbuckler outlaws at Hamburg.
They were pursued into canal, and in
the muddy water where they had taken
refuge from the fury of their pursuers,
they were remorselessly stoned to death.
The story of the Newark lynching is re-
voting in the extreme to refinement,
and to the sentiment of humanity. So
is the story of the killing of the prison
ers at Hamburg. The difference is that
the northern press, in commenting upon
the Newark affair, does not indulge in
sentiment of any sort whereas, in deal
ing with the Hamburg affair the Herald
INDUCES in nothing but sentiment, while
the republican papers mingIe sentiment
and partisanship in the proportion;
which they hope will be most beneficial
to &" the party."-Cbar!t stoW IS. CO. jour
