'What is the use of forty thousand pairs
of elastic carriers sent to the Indian wOm-

MEXICAN WAR.-The news from Next
co is lively, and shows that Oh Greasers
are on the war path, and that toe revolu-
ton under DiaZ has assumed formidable
proportions. \ resolution has been in
PRODUCED in Congress providing for tile
increase of our forces on the Rio Grande,
and asking for authority to follow the
cattle raiders into Mexico. This would
be tantamount TO declaration Of war,
and would add to the complications which
beset our relations with that i'll governed
country. Our border is now exposed TO
the raids of irresponsible free hooters,
anc Texas will not longer submit to them.
\ war with Mexico, injected into the
Presidential campaign, would give it a
dramatic freshness that would be season
able to the public appetite.

RACE MISUNDERSTANDING of ouI
article elsewhere published, in which we
take issue with Senator Key in regard to
the necessity of an investigating commit
tee on the part of Congress, into the af-
fairs of Mississippi, we insert the fol-
lowing special dispatch to the Memphis
Appeal, and it is a complete refutation,
more eloquent than words, of the various
stories set afloat about the bad feeling
existing between the two races in that
section. We have other testimony that
strengthens the subjoined dispatch, and
we expect nothing but trouble to grow
out of the proceedings of the committee
A pleasant evidence of the feeling now
prevailing between the races is given to
us by 4 correspondent at Corinth, Mis-
sissippi, who writes that, while the white
people Of that city were celebrating the
resignation of Ames and the elevation of
Gov. Stone TO the executive chair of Mis-
sissippi' ''the colored brass band of
the town came out and helped Us 10 cele-
brate the occasion; and that without be
ing asked or paid for it, either"

FAvoRITE SoNNYIsM IN OHIo.-Al-
though the Ohio State Convention pro-
neunced for Hays, there seems to be a
strong Bristow wind blowing in that
quarter, and it is Kept alive by sach able
blowers as the Cincinnati Commercial
which is acknowledged to be one of the
most spirited papers West of the Allegha-
mics. Here is what It says in answer to
4 taunt that it was an enemy of Gov.
Hayes ''The simple truth is, the Com
mercial is and always has been friendly
to Hayes. 1t docs not follow that we
think him'the foremost man of the time to
keep the country out of the hands of the
Confederate party and to reform the cor
rupt civil service. We think other men
have shown an aptitude for affairs that
Hayes does not possess. OF course we
understand that the cry must be that we
are the enemy of the man we do not see
fit to magnify in view of a bare Presiden-
tial possibility. Hayes may be President,
but we do not believe him either the best
or the strongest man for the candidacy.
Ifthls is enmity, here we stand. Those
who do not like it are welcome to make
the most of it. We are consoled, howev-
er, by the conviction that we represent
the opinions of at least two-thirds of the
voters who, last fall, elected Hayes Gov
ernor of Ohio, when we displayed to-
ward him that enmity for which we re-
eeive such pleasing credit"

CONNECTICUT ELEcTIoN.-Ihe COnncc-
tieut election has resulted handsomely
for the democratic party, and it places
the "nutmeg" State firmly in the dOmo-
cratic column. No tidal wave can save
it to Graatism, and therefore, one North
ern State. at least, may be set down as
certain for tie democratic nominee for
the Presidency. Connecticut is live
State, and her people are more intelligent
and more easily moved by outside causes
than New Hampshire. She is not hemm-
ed in by mountains, nor so remote from
the great political centres of the country.
Hence we take it that her enrolment on
the democratic side means something,
and which being interpreted, is an EN-
phatic condemnation of the corruption
which clings so closely to the skirts Of
the present administration. One of its
immediate results is the reelection OF
Hon. Jas. +. English, to his presen, pO-
sition in the United States Senate. Mr..
English is well known us an unfaltering
democrat, upon whose practical sympa-
thies the South can always rely. All IN
all the Connecticut election is insPiriting
and fires the hearts of the old democracy
to make one more gallant fight to save
the country and its liberties. The pre-
liminary diminishing before the presi-
Dental canvass begins is now over, and
the two great parties viii rest upon then
arms until after the respective national
conventions have met and chosen theil
great leaders. Then the cannOnading all
along the line will be the fiercest, per-
haps, ever known in our political annals

GRANT AND BRIsTow New York
Sun says. All reports of a reconciliation
between Grant and Bristow must be ia
ken with many grains of allowance
They had plain talk after Babeock's tri-
al, ut which some mutual misunderstand-
ings were explained away; but they are
actually net now any nearer to each 9TH
er's confidence and affection than before
the explanation was made. If anything,
they are further apart, under appearan-
ces of formal good will. Bristow stands
as much alone in the Cabinet as he ever
did, for while two of the members-of
whom Jewell is not one-may generally
sympathize with his public policy, they
dare not express it for fear of offending
the President.
Grant has been in an excited condition
OF mind for months past, produced by
causes which are notorious, aud eXter.
nally visible TO every eye, and which
have long alarmed his immediate family
and friends. Neuralgia of the brain
is the polite, technical name given to :
disease which is chronic, and which med
icine alone cannot cure. Resolution aaC
restraint are the true remedies, and hC
himself is the only physician TO apply
them but he does not appear to possess
the necessary strength of purpose.

The New York sun, one of the Invest
journals on the continent, puts it as fol-
lows: ''Whcn Andrew johnson was i'm
peached for mere political differences be-
tween himself and a majority of the lead
ers of the Republican party, the most bit
ter and determined of all his prosecutors
was Benjamin +. Butler, then Repre-
sentative in Congress from Massachu-
sets. Mr.. johnson met his accusers face
to face. boldly like man, stood up to
his trial, and was acquitted; and he has
since carried With him to his grave the
sincere respect of the nation
Gen. Butler was blessed with beauti-
full daughter, the object of universal adj
miration. She married Adelbert Ames, a
military man, with a euphoniOus and al
lucrative name. But that name, pretty
as it is, does not look we'll at the end of a
document to which it has recently been
signed. The document is letter of re-
signation of the Office of Governor OF
Mississippi, addressed to the people OF
that State. 1t was written by Mr.. AEnes,
after impeachment, to avoid the danger
of conviction. 1t is most humiliating
State paper for Governor to sign. Sc
the personal chalice, Intended for john
ton, returns to the Butler family to be
drained to the dregs.'

This is the way one Of the Republican
party's own organs, Harper Weekly,
talks: at is puerile to say that Mr.. Belk-
nap rs only an individual, and that par
ty should not be held responsible for the
conduct and character of all who choose
to act with it, our Government is one
of the parties, and the party ia power
cannot evade the responsibility. What
is the value Of party principles and pro-
LESSONS If the men trusted to put them
into practice are unfaithfui or dishonest?
Can the Republican party, for instance,
claim TO be party Of civil service reform
merely because at its last NstiOnal Con-
vention it declared for it in the most I'M
reserved terms, but when it had gained
power contemptuOusly discarded it."

RADICAL JARRINGs AND TIE CArnIE
FAAnLY.-The troubles in the house
hold of the Radical family at Wash
ington, are not unlike the confusion and
tumult which are occasionally known to
spring up in the great Caudle family.
The organ at Washington, it is true,
still persists in it, that the harmony of its
party was never ltss interrupted by dis
cord than ut present, and refers to the
election in New Hampshire, Carried by
fraud), as evidences Of the statement. Its
whole efforts seem to be bent upon con-
vincing the people against their viii,
that the administration is conducted with
more unanimity Than was ever before
known. Yet, with all these assurances,
ON the part of the organist, we OCCASION
ally hear Of am outbreak.
The Washington letter writers, who
are pretty shrewdren, some of them, act
as lookers-on in Vienna, and are, per-
haps, as well qualified to judge when
''harmony is discord," and "discord is
harmony" as the editor of the organ
Scarcely a day passes by without we see
letter from Washington, in which it is
stated that there is a storm brewing-and,
no sooner does the editor of Grant see
these letters, than nc pounces upon their
contents, and pronounces them false. 1t
was done when rumors of dishonesty
were first mooted against Belknap.
Now, it does appear to US, as it would
appear to Mrs. Caudle in such a case, that
if there is really nothing in these specu-
latioHs of threaning diseord, why does
the Washington orgn, take such pains in
trying to coyinee the public?
When Mrs. Caudle accused her hus--
band of having apartiality for Miss Pref
lyman, he would fly into a passion and
tell his wife there was nothing in it
Not content with telling his better half
that there was nothing in his attentions
to Miss Prettyman, Mr.. CaudIe would set
to work and try to convince the Madame /;
but the more he tried to make her believe
there was no truth in it, the more she
was satisfied the other way.
SO it is with the Washington letter
writers and the administration organ.-
We think the ''serlbblers,' as the organ
calls them, might, in this matter, very
appropriately use the language of Mrs.
-Caudle, and say, ''Well, now, Mr.. organ,
it's no use punching about it-but of
course that's it, We can't mention DIS
cord in the Republican party, "but you
fling about and dance about as if you
We're on hot griddle. OF course that
shows tibet there is something in it,
Otherwise, why should You disturb your
self?''
We think Mrs. Caudle's arguments
prove that there was something in her
husbands attentions to Miss Prettyman,
is particularly elinehing, and we want
no better evidence ourselves Of the dis
cord brewing in the Republican ranks
than the repeated efforts of the oggaa to
prove the contrary.

are willing to scale the debt in any way,
why should that even smack of repudia-

both creditors and debtor concur. This
would not tarnish the honor of Tennes-
see. Not at all. If the bondholders are
willing to effect such an arrangement,
certainly the taxpayers of the state
should not complain. They are obliged
to do this or submit to increased taxation,
a matter some of our contemporaries made
very light of, but which, we opine, they
would think pretty serious were they to
