A DIZZY LEADER,

Mr.. John Kelly is great man-in New-York.
With great Difference, however, we feel called
upon to say that there il not cl0agh OF HIM,
and if there were, his temper is too brittle and
uncertain to spread over tie whole country.
Mr.. Kelly has within a year or two become
one of the most conspicuous figures in New
York State politics, and from that he seems to
have stepped cut larger than human into the
arena of national politics Tammany was not
enough the State OF Ncw-York was too small
for this mans anibihon. lie aspirCs to direct
the counsels OF the whole party, and dictate
the candidates and the p0ijcy fer national
canvass. There is something absolutely ludi-
crous in the airs he has been assuming at st.
Louis. He has lost his head. There is no
reason why MIR. John Kelly shculd hold TIE
attention of great party in a National Conven-
ton 10 reason why he should s'rut up and down
and assume The manners OF political dictator,
and refuse recognition TO men who differ with
him, as though nc held Che scales OF Official
favor and were sole dispenser CT patronage and
honors. There is such grotesqUeness IN hl'
attitude before his party and the country III
the grand manner in which he headed the
antj-Tilden delegation the arrogance with
which be set up himself and bis personal
preiudices and spitcs and GrarTels before tie
country, and in the superciliousness with which
he looked down upon the men who refused TO let
him do their thinking for them, that when he
comes to himself if he ever does, lie vii! con-
fess that he has made an absurd exhibition.
Mr.. Kelly has been part of several dramatic
situations since his arrival at St. Louis, soine
of which have been faithfully described. He
has refused his hand to several OF his ac-
quaintancos and former friends, has sum-
moned poor Mr. Cox from Washington so
pcremptorrly that that gentleman dropped
every thing inconincntiy, iLcliding his pro ten.
Speakership, and bundled of to St. Louis. and
has been generally active, prominent, and
loud Mr., Kelly makes Il mistake
much greater and abler man than he
might well hesitate before Withdrawing rccog-
mtlOn from many not obscure or unknown
men. That sort Of business does not pay in a
politician; it is not becoming in party
! leader; it is net prudent or wise IN anybody
Mr. Kelly has OyeGratcd himself and his posi-
| ton He has taken into National Convention
the petty G1iefs OF a ward politician, and thrust
! himself before the party and the country rs a
person of consequence. He is of none what
ever except as he influences votes and If he
keeps on giving his temper loose rein That In
fuence will bo lost. Such men as he have
their uses in the world of politics, and THEN
uses very likely as political leadcrs-but
leaders in small way. and of gangs rather
| than armies. They do well enough so long as
they are honest an1 do not get dizzy with
their elevation. Mr. John Kelly has got UP too
high his head swims; he shoald be led care
fly down.

!. is of good import, we tliink. that IN
Charleston to-day the hGndrcth anniversary o.
thc abpv;iye attack Of tie British feet upon
Fort Houltrc will be particularly observed.
Nor is il less encouraging that body OF
solJicrs from Boston. and another from New
Yor,. will participate Ia the celebration. The
dr,,il, O, the action OF jane %, i77G, must
he familiar 10 most OF our readers. No more
gallant defense Of fortified place was mrdc
by ap American force during the war. Col.
Moultrie mounted 90 guns IN his palmetto
bastion. and his troops, all south Caroilnians'
were 435 in number. Tne attacking h'ei,
under Sir Peter Parker, consisted o' ,
vessels. carrying 262 guns, and with :
regiments on board. ParleTs plan was,
while par of the fleet bombaid"d
in front, ana the remainder gained station
to rake the IampaIts TO storm the tort IN the
rear. The naval attack was q failure-that by
land WAS consequently abandoned. Parker at
once gave up the enterprise and sailed to JON
the British army in Ncw-Iofk. The enemy
lost 200 men in killed ana v0undad-the
| Americans only 80. The historian relates that
all classes OF men, rich and poor, tfcrmen ana
slaves, united in the ha5ty construction of Che
Fort. The Fort in 1860 was commanded By
Major Robert Anderson with Federal force,
which he Transferred TO Fort Sumter. Sull-
vans Island upon which the Fort was sitna-
ated is now merely snburo OF Charleston.

The recurrence OF such an anniversary natu-
rally reminds us of that fraternity OF the Prov
inees without which there would never have
been a Union of the States. We can imagine
with what joy the people of Boston and New
York listened to the good news from Charles
ton. The victory was for their encourage
ment, if not for their safety. 1t helped to
break the prestige of British inyincibility by
land and by sea. Like the battles Of Bunker
Hill and Of Trenton, the repulae at Fort Moul-
tlie showed the thorough earncStness OF the
Colonial soldiers, and the small effect which
considerations OF disparity OF resources had
upon their minds Only two or three OF the
battles Of the Revolution We're upon great scale,
but this fact only tends TO prove how little the
excellence OF military operations depends upon
the number of men engaged He Is the great
commander who effects great things i'll spite
of limited means. So, too, the hearty ceebra-
ton Of this anniversary may not, while one so
much greater is mt hand, attract any general
attention but we may be sure that while

the Republic which these battles helped to
establish cannot be utterly cold and dead.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN VENEZUELA.


The extremes of the struggle between the
spiritual and temporal powers which is slowly
making itself felt throughout the Roman
Catholic world are very strl,ingly represented
by the two South American Republics of
Ecuador and Venezuela, both Of them portions
of the old Republic of Colombia. Ecuador, a
few months ago, formally placed its civil gov
crnment under the Papal authority Venezuela

which involves completer separation Of
Church and State than has ever been at
tempted by any nation One has acknowledged
itself to be the willing subject of foreign
spiritual autocrat; the other carries the inde-
pendence of the civil power to such hight
that but few religious sects, at least in their
present form, can exist under it.
The decree, which we publish to-day seems
to be mainly the work of the President of
Venezuela, Guzman BlancO, chief of the former
Federal faction, who after defeating Monagas
in 1870 and having been made provisional
President, was regularly elected in February,

All the most recent changes, so far as

Latest news from Servia and Turkey is
extremely warlike. Prince Milan is to leave
his capital for the field next Friday, and war
is to be declared next day. The Sultan has
rejected the Scrvian demand, and ordered the
Turkish troops on the frontier, as well as the
Danube fotilla, to be ready to begin hostil-
tiles at the first signal. In Montenegro there
has been a general call to arms, and the
Senate has resolved to administer the Govern
rnent in behalf of Prince Nicholas until the
approaching war is over In Paris the Servan
Committee is purchasing arms and enrolling
volunteers. Under these alarming circum-
stances, nothing but the fiat of Russia is likely
to avert war.
