and skill hauled the six flying horses out
OF the road, into the forest, down, down

Thus we see that coaching in the

Judgment. Tao drivers of these six
horse teams drink neither wine nor

invariably reserved, lofty in manner, gem

horses arc banged. All have their natural
tails for full natural use. It is n sight

against artillery or cavalry. The villages
might perhaps be occupied by infantry,
but the inhabitants would merely retreat
a league or two into the interior, certain to
recover their homes aud wreak rcprsals

matcly, doubtless, the thinning of the great

The Place for the Reform vote.

A number of very respectable gentle
men OF New York have formed themselves
into the Republican Reform club, and set
themselves the task OF rcgenerating the
party TO which they belong. Their doe
trines are specie payments, economy ana
reduction of expenses, reform in the civll
service and thorough reform In the al
minlstration Of the Government every
where.
These are all sound principles, and IL ths
Republican Reform club shall induce the
Republican party to both adopt and
rigidly to practise them. they will do
great work 1t IL because GRANT, Admin
istration, supported by the Republican
party, has steadily and shamelessy viola
ted these requisites of good government,
trampled upon them cast overheard those
honest men of the party who cried out
against the outrage and given its conf
dence and rewards to the men who defy
such teachings, that both the Admiuistra-
ton aud ts aiders and abottors have lost
the respect of the public
Can this little knot of gentlemen banded
together in the name Of reform leaveu
heir party with their spiritf Can they
bring guns enough to bear to conquer the
serried regions of the 10000 oliceholders
who form the real nucleus OF the RepubH-
can party 7 We trust they may prove
themselves able 10 do so, although their
platform of prime pies does not contain q
single essential plank which is not in that
OF the great Opposition party which means
TO cure the disease at Washington by clear
ing out the men who have created II.
But what our Republican Reformers are
really after is the defeat of Mr.. CoNKLING
and the nomination of BRIsTow. Let us
wait and see how they get along with that
job. Then II they are foIlcd and If man
they care nothing for or dislike or mildly
distrust Is nominated Mt Cincinnati any
impartial observer Will have the means OF
telling what their present protest amounts
TO. We hope II will turn out in such II case
that 1t amounts TO II great deal.
Our idea is, however. that they cannot
reform the Republican party, bee iuse il is
past reformation. The only sure way to
deal with it is TO give il n long season of
fasting from office. 1t Is the responsible
embodiment of corruption aud it cannot
be used TO ight corruption. The right
place for the reform Iote is with those
who make battle against Republican mis-
use OF uno Xamplcd opportunities to con-
tribute To the welfare Of the country.
