The Situation.

Since our last issue events which were
then anticipated have become history. Gov.
Nichols has been inaugurated and the
whole machinery of his government in
stalled in working order. The Legislature
has a quorum in both Houses, and the
Courts, with all their incidents of sherifFs
and clerks, are in full and vigorous opera
ton on the very Pis of theresults achieved
at the late election. There lie but one spot
throughout the whole State which is not in
the actual possession Of che Nichols gov

We will take this occasion to repeat that
| our antagoDism to the Irish World paper,
which is as strong as our opposition to the
Harpers Weekly, is based on the came
grounds in both cases. Those grounds are
just two in number. The first is that the
Irish World is an enemy of the Catholic
Church the second, that it is an enemy Of
the South. It knows well that almost the
warmest spot in an Iriehman's heart is his
love of old Erin, and it has certainly known
how to drive lucrative traffic in dealing
with that most generous and sacred senti-
ment. But in doing 30 il ought at least to
respect the religion of the party whose pa
triotism it appeals to aud honor the priest
hood of his Church. We take strong and
open ground against the Irish Wo, Id be-
cause we believe it to be far more iusidious
and dangerous to the faith of its Irish read
ers in it's covert attacks, than Harpers
Weekly with it's scurrilous blasphemy.
AS to the position of bitter hostility to the
South which the Irish World has seen
fit to occupy, we take a firm stand in re-
gard to it also, and openly proclaim that
paper an enemy, to be held and treated
as such. AS such we shall not hes state to
attack it in season and out of season, and
as such we certainly cannot see how any
Irishman who has cast his fortunes in the
South, unless he be a Radical, can avoid
sharing our sentiments in its regard.

eminent, and that Is the oQllolnS IN tnis
city recently known as the State House.
This condition of things is the natural
result of the unanimity and enthusiast NJ
manifested by the entire Democratic popu-
lation in it's support of the Nichols regime.
In face of such support the opposition be-
came discouraged and timid. The memo
ries of the 14th September, of course, had
their influence, and whenever collision be-
came imminent resistance faded out Only
under the immediate eye of the leaders did
the rank and file show any stability, and it
may readily be inferred that such frmness
as has been discovered among them was
not spontaneous but artificial and stimu-
lated. Public sentiment is all on one side.
OF course all this could not have hap
pened save for the non interference policy
which President Grant unexpectedly de-
veloped, and to- morrow it could be swept
away by an angry nod of his. This is a nice
condition of things, but it is the actual one,
and one which it would be premature to
remedy by force just at this time.
In the mean time We ought to be, and are,
greatly thankful for what has happened,
and very much inclined also to speculate on
the causes oft. What is the matter with
Grant 1t is whispered that he has been
persuaded over to the Hayes policy of con-
ciliatipg the South. Again, it is urged that
be is wroth with the carpet-baggers here
for their impudent self assertion in the
matter of Scholarships. West and Casey
both left out, was too much for him. For
our part we do not pretend to form an opin-
ion as to the matter underlying his line of
action. We are simply thankful for the
ground 80 far gained. 1t may all be part
of an unseen scheme to carry out the 4th of
March conspiracy, or it may possibly be the
working of some influence of an unexpect-
eddy healthy character adverse to that plot.
We have heard intimations of good and
patriotic domestic Influences at work, but
it would be over-sanguine to build much
on such rumors.
1t is suggested that We might make
good move on the political chess board in
swapping q Senator for a President.
That is to say, by giving Casey we could
gain Grant. 1t is not proposed by Louisi-
anians to play traitor to their Northern
allies, nor to make separate terms for
no matter how favorable.
Honor comes first. But if, as it is said,
Northern Democrats counsel the election of
Casey, it might be worth considering. 1t
has always been insisted that Casey was no
thief in point of morals, and not altogether
discovered from Democracy in politics.

The Irish World on Bulldozinq.

The Irish World of the 9th inst. comes to
it's Southern readers rocking with whole
sale SANDER of the South. 1t publishes
with manifest approval an article purpor-
ting to be a correspondence from Missis-
sppi, which is one of the shallowest,
shabbiest, and most impudent efforts of
sheer fabrication that was ever palmed off
on paper. In order that it may be fully
appreciated we append the article in full, as
no amount of clipping could do justice to
it. In it's very beginning is broadly set
forth the proposition which it is to be the
burden of the letter to prove. That is,
that the negro "knows nothing of politics
but intimidation and violence" that she
has no rights that the white man considers
himself bound to respect" that the
"planter will not allow him TO stay on his
land if he votes the Republican ticket,
that such negroes are notified to leave the
country in SO many days and have to
abandon the homes of their sires under
pain of rope and revolver"
1t ID certainly singular that this CORES.
pondent, who is 30 positive and speaks in
such sweeping terms of the persecution
of negroes, should know of but one case
in point, when it would be supposed
that such cases were countless. 1t ia
equally singular that in the only case
emembeTed, the prosecuted party did not
''leave the country" but only removed to q
neighboring plantation. 1t is almost equal
ly strange that in such state of general
fleeing from wrath the neighboring plan,
tation, "belonging to u prominent Repub.
lcan," had any room left on it as a refuge
for fifty acre negro. Yet just such illus
tration and evidence as is furnished by the
above instance will be found in every Other
fact cited by the article
The next, and second fact relied on by
the correspondent is the following. H,
and friend were sitting in a villag,
tavern at night, when two white men will
their faces bIackened were shown into tn
room, as desiring to see them. After
, narrow explanation the two new conner
declared that these were not the partie
. who were wanted, and went off. Whel
we remember that the two persons e
closely inspected were Uhite men, it lie diff
cult to find the connection between thi
Q incident and the ill-treatment of negroe
:. which it is cited to illustrate. If true q
Q all, it simply proves, what every bod
/ knows, that whether in Illinois or Missis

FOREIGN.
The Eastern Outlook.

London, Oct. ga Bucharest cor
respondent says the Eastern Turkish
army is everywhere on the defensive.
A way is now open for the investment
of Rustchuk, which will probably be
done at once, as the Russians have suf-
ficient forces to mask Rustchuk and
move against the central Turkish po-
sition at Rasgrad. The Russian inten-
tion seems to be to mask Rustchuk,
menace Rasgrad, hold Raouf in check,
and then put every available man and
gun to the work of capturing Plevna.
The retreat of Suleiman reveals the
Turkish army, so that reinforcements
are being sent to Plevna from the army
of the Czarovitz. 1t is the evident pur-
pose of the Russians to fight nowhere
in Bulgaria except at Plevna, which
position more than all else bars the
road to Constantinople.
The investment of Plevna is not COM
pleted, although the accumulation of
Russian cavalry is making Turkish
communications every day more diff
cult,
Despite all the accounts from pera,
it is believed that Osman is not well
supplied, and the capture or evacuation
of the place is not far distant.
London, Oct. 26.-The impression
prevails that, since the heavy rains, the
Russians, convinced of the impossibili-
ty of wintering in Bulgaria, will make
a deperate effort to reduce Plevna and
defeat Suleiman Pasha's army before
retirement into Roumania becomes a
necessity.

SUMNER AND GRANT.

Maj Poore's Story of their Disagreement.
Washington, Oct. 2G.-AIai. Ben.
Perley Poore, who was Senator Sum-
ner's guest at the time of his estrange-
ment from President Grant, has eX-
planned the cause of the trouble. He
says the removal of Jas. NJ. Ashley, ex-
Congressman from Ohio, from the gov
ernorship of Montana, and the appoint
ment of Col. Potts, which had just hap
pened, was the subject of table con-
versation, and letter from Ashley
protesting against the change had been
read, when the President was an
nounced. He was received and shown
Ashley's letter, and became Immediate
ly excited, denouncing Ashley rs n
worthless mischief-maker. The next
topic discussed was the San Domingo
treaty. Sumner dwelt especially upon
the expenditure by Gen. Babcock on
San Domingo of large sum taken
from secret service fund, for promot-
ing intercourse with the West India
Islands, which Seward had prevailed
on Thad. Stevens to have inserted in
an appropriation bill during the war,
and the President impressed Sumner
with the idea that he feared an attack
in Congress for that expenditure.
Poore adds his opinion that Sumner
thought that the President had come
to enlist his services in defending this
expenditure by Gen. Babcock, but the
President meant the treaty for the ac-
QUESTION of the Dominican Republic.
The President and the Senator misun-
derstood each other. After while the
President promised to send Gen. Bah.
cock to call on the Senator the next
day with copies Of the papers, and left.
AS Sumner escorted him to the door,
he told him that be was Republican,
and supporter Of the Republican ad-
ministration, and that he should sus-
tain the administration in this case il
he possibly could, after he had exam
ined the papers. He meant to sustain
the expenditure of 100000 in cash
and $50, 900 in light battery and mus.
kets purchased at New York, but the
President meant the treaty.
Mai. Poore's statement thus removes
a grave historical doubt, and seems tc
set at rest the stories recently published
of the cause of the difficulty between
Grant and Sumner.
