that some of the Presidential appo 'ntments
are liable 10 90 over to the next session of
Congress, If it will he patient it will see

in love with Republican President; but
We have no idea that they are to consum-
mate that love in a permanent alliance. In
year hence they will not affect him any

Tho New Idea.

IL there Us one thing more than another that
the American people admire II Is raro invcn-
tion and novelty. The latest idea has shot
forth from Western Nsw York. Tho orisina-
tor Is Mr. STEWART SANDERsoN, of Shelby.
Orleans County. lie informs Congress that
they may rs well disDense with the army and
navy. To this the average Democrat would
readily assent and the strikers and Commu.
nists throw up their hats with joy. Mr.. SAN
pERsoN Informs the potent, grave and rev.
crcnd scigneurs at the Capitol that he has
been twertv-sOvcn years in brown study,
and has now come to tho conclusion that
steam ram can be built with sufficient power
to force all maritime nations to withd !aw
their war vessels. II we could only get
steam rnm that would force Congress to make
the necessary appropriations aud to at once
provide for the deficiencies! Here they arc
receiving such communications as the one re-
icrrcd to- taking them into consideration, re.
icrring them to committees and wasting their
time-all expensive proceeding for clerk-hirc
and printing. But there Is one thing about this
idea of SANDERsoN's that is good. He suggests
thatone cor more steam rams be built
and that reGula. sea fight take place between
them and u fleet of iron -cads, so as to ascer.
tain which can whip, and to prove that the
ram will be victorious and prevent the iron
clads from getting near enough to shore to
lombard Gny seaport town or city. He says
that the ram will be successful, and that the
glorious results will be that the armies and
navies will be abandoned, and no more sea.
port Notifications be built. We are decidedly
In favor of this trial-fght. 1t is not necessary
to have 1t on tho high seas. Let 1t take place
OH the Potomac, and be witnessed by the Prcsi-
dent and his Cabinet, Congress, the Lobby,
and the "Row." But there is one thing more
that we insist upon-that tho iron .clads that are
to be destroyed by the ram shall not be filled
with those citizens Of the United States of Ohio
that are hereabouts waiting for Executive
recognition. There should be no room for few |
of the reliable correspondents; no standing
place for those who know just how a ncwspa- |
per should be conducted aud the fcnds that |
are ever begging free theatre tickets ought by |
all means to be prevented from getting on
board the ill-htcd ships. At all event1 the
fighting trial should be made.

Providence moves IN mysterious way

The telegraph wings to us the intelligence
that Gov. WILLIAMS has appointed DANIEL
W. VOORHEES, to fill the seat in the United
states Senate made vacant by the death of
Senator MORTON. This announcement
brings no joy to any true Republican heart.
VOORHEES, is not the man to ill the place
OF lndianas great war statesman. He NAV
have intellect, but he has not the heart for
dignifed position next 10 the highest in
the g!lt of the American people. If the
statement true that Mr.. VOORHEES,, though
in indianapolis at the time of Mr.. Morton's
mneral,ia failed to be present and join in those
obsequies, he has dwarled himself to AN
extent that leaves him among the most
dimlnutivc of all American statesmen. W.,
hope he is misrepresented in this respect,
and forbear further comment until this
statement is either corroborated or refuted.

The Washington City REPUBLICAN persists
In thinking somebody wishes to bull-doze the
negro in this State. 1t quotes a part of an
article from the Obs.rrer, enumerating what
tho white people had done for the negroes
and says that the legitimate inference is that
the white people were willing to do good
things for the negroes only in case they vote
the Democratic ticket. If The REPuBLIcAS
had taken the trouble TO quote that part of
our article in whith we showed that the negro
was not necessary to the Democratic party.
and that white men now ruled the State, not
by the help of the negroes but in spite of their
most persistent efforts to prevent it, not even
the most prejudiced reader of THE REPUBII-
CAN could fail to see the falsity of the infer.
ence drawn by TIE REPUBLIcAN.-Raieiqk( IN.
a. Observer.
There was no part Of the article of our
cotemporary which could possibly disarm
the inference that we drew from its lam
guage. 1t was as plain as the skull and
cross-bones on a Ku-klux banner, and our
irate contemporary cannot escape from it.
The negro will be treated humanely so long
AZ he votes as the Democrats desire, or ne
elects to vote at all.

NEW York has managed to go up ahead
once more This time for producing a thir-
tcen-year old girl, LIBBY O'BRIEN, as the most
expert thief on record. JACK SHEPARD, and
in fact Boss TWEED, are comparatively thrown
into the shade. The New York Tribune thus
moralizes on the subject: THAT girl of thir-
teen should porpetrate such long list of rob-
berries, till their total runs up to sum of per-
haps 5000, shows two things clearly-that the
world has not yet grown out of the habit of
asSOciating youth and innocence as insepara-
BILE qualities; and that the system under
which thieves are detected works slowly and
not surely 1t very truly says, and the re-
marks may be applied to other cities than New
York, there is evidently something wrong
in system of police regulations under which
mere child finds easy aud abundant oppor-
tunitics for dsposng of so many stolen goods
at the pawn.shops. 1t has more than once
been said that the chief reason for the success
of pickpockets, thieves, and burglars in this
city, is the facility with which they can dis.
pose of stolen property. The contrast in this
respect between New York and European cities
might be further illustrated by the statement
that the recovery Of stolen property is not un-
frequent abroad here it is among the rare
events. Perhaps it might be desirable to try
and convict few crooked pawn-brokes."

THE attempt 10 Sasten upon Mr.. JOHN
WELSH, the nominee for the English mis-
sion, the oflense of being stakeholder In
Cuba does not pan out richly, notwithstand-
ing the effort in that direction is very per-
sistent. However desirable it may be to
secure the defeat of Mr.. WELSH, no man
should bear false witness against him for
that purpose. The Philadelphia Times re-
fers to what had been said by this paper
under its former management on this gues-
tion, but that in no degree inculpatcs its
present conductors. Our opposition to Mr.
WELSH is simply on the ground that we do
not regard his as an appointment fit to be
made for that important mission; and for
the further reason that he is not, by the
record, an orthodox Republican.

atrange that the civilized world does not stop
