enough to obtain command of the
army. The irresistible conclusion
is, that snch institutions are not fit
ted to the idiosyncracies of that race
To admit them into our family of
States organized on the principles Of
self-governmentandSt atesovereign-
ty, would be as fatal a blunder as
that which was made at the close of
the war when the Southern States
were brought in ON the same princi-
pies, but with the negro population
alone left with power to claim citi-
zenship in them. A race was en-
trusted with the duty of carrying
out principles of polity for which
they were utterly untitled, and the
most hideous anarchy and corrup-
ton was the result. Unless there
fore the States in question could be
very rapidly filled up with men
of the Anglo-Saxon race, we should
be strongly opposed to their incor-
poration with our government.

WE have given in another column
a statement of the proceedings of
the grand jury in New Orleans in
the case of Wells and Anderson, so
well known as the manipulators of
the Returning Board.
We have little to offer of COM
ment upon this proceed; that the
evil doer should meet with eX-
emplary punishment is the desire of
every honest man, and if this is all
that is purposed the movement has
our hearty concurrence. We have
never consented and shall never as
sent to the proposition so generally
assumed that great crimes commit
ted for political purposes, should be
treated with more tender consider
alton than those perpetrated from
private motives. We believe the
former so much worse than the lat
ter that their effects are more wide
spread and extend to more distant
periods, and instead of the public
delinquent being more excusable
than the private malefactor, he has
less excuse because generallypress
by no such hard necessity, and we
would double rather than diminish
his punishment.
But there are some signs of a pur-
pose to reopen the Presidential
question which so cOnvulsed the ma
ton during the first three months OF
the present year. We yielded then
under protest; we withdraw neither
the concession nor the protest. The
renewed agitation of the question
then settled would inf1ict such in
calculable evils upon the nation with
such slender hopes of prosperous
result, that, if it must be, we would
rather see the guilty escape than
witness such political confusion as
must arise from such a step.
1t is stated that Governor Nichols
is opposed to this prosecutiOn-his
opinion has great weight with us
and his means of information are sc
much more extensive than ours that
we defer our own judgement to his
and assent without demanding all
the reasons which influence him.
We earnestly hope that his views
will prevail.

ourselves make no pretension, and
we are compelled to attribute it to a
blind partizan bias. 1t seems to be
our besettingsin that, as "a nation, we
are incapable of taking any interest
at all in matters unless it be a parti-
Nan character.
Now four out of five of our people
are vehemently Russian in their
sympathies, and this partizan dress
ing up of war news is done to graft
fy the suppose desire of readers for
news favorable to Russia. We, on
our part, haveno such sympathies-
with no love for Turkey, we con-
ceive the Russian government and
people to be utterly unworthy Ofthe
sympathies of any civilized or
Christian nation, but we have no
desire to take up the cudgels either
for or against them; what we are
resolved upon doing, however, is to
use our best endeavors to procure
for our readers an insight into the
facts of this war, quite independent
of any partiZan interests they or we
may take in one or the other of the
belligerent nations; and we think
we only do justice to the intelligence
of our readers in taking for granted
that the truth is what they want, anC
not a report falsified to suit theil
sympathies and prejudices which il

of the next foreign mail. Our state

LATER NEWS FROM THE EASE.

Further dispatches from Armenia
confirm the complete failure of the
whole Russian campaigns projected
East of the Black Sea, the only object
of Russian strategy now being to
withdraw the army as rapidly and
with as little loss as possible within
the Russian frontier, placing the eau
casus mountains between the worst
ed army and the Turks. In their
hasty retreat they are said to have
left many pieces of artillery in the
Caucasian passes. One among the
many causes of failure alleged is the
breaking down of the Naval Depart
ment. The Bremen Weiser Zeitung
says:
"On the eve of the war it was discovered
that only thirty per cent of the Russian ma
Wy was Seaworthy. Reinforcement for the
Caucasian army are much delayed because
only five out of ten steamers of the Caspian
tiotilla are in serviceable condition"
Another excuse is that the Turk
ish irregulars which took the Rus
sian left wing in the rear at Bayazid
violated Persian neutrality by pass
ing through the territory of that
country contrary to the expectations
Of the Russian commander.
No such explanations are needed ;
the whole campaign was planned in
50 faulty a manner as to render fail
ure inevitable.

ketehum was ready when his case was cal.
led, but his opponent had sent word that
he could not arrive for an hour or two
Ketchum insisted on proceeding at once.
Judge Davis demonstrated in favor of the
absent lawyer, but to no purpose. "Well,"
said he, "if you insist upon going on, Mr.,
Ketchum, you have, of course, thetechnic-
al right TO do SO; but, if / were you, |
wouldn't urge the matter. Over at Spring
field, the other day, there was just such a
case the lawyer would insist upon going
on with the trial, and SO had to look af
ter the interests of the other party myself
and do you know, curiously enough, we
beat him. Mr. ketehum decided to wait.
