Plain, Misunderstanding Democrats are
beginning to ask themselves for whose
benefit they have been fighting and
tabooing Republicans for the last ten
years. They are told that at last the
Democrats have triumphed, and all viii
be we'll: but they see as the result Of that
triumph the hated and despised negro,
the whole cause Of the quarrel, not only
recognized as citizen, but invested with
high and responsible dignities, even to
positions on the Board Of EducGsion.
Worse still, they see one Of the most
abused and despised Of the ex-Radical
leaders, for whom, but short while ago,
no words were too vile to represent Demo-
cratic contempt now accepted as a
precious ally, honizsd and Get up as q

cratic platform in the cause Of Democ-

ALEAP FROM THE RECORD.

In September, 1876, in consequence of
repeated articles in the Bulletin, mass
meeting was held in Lafayette square for
the express purpose of denouncing the
Board of School Directors. Ali the col
ored members of that board were de-
nounced in unsparing terms, but the walls
of wrath were more especially directed on
the head of Mr.. Pinchback. The gross
est charges were made, and the language
of Professor Dimitry never appeared in
print. Other orators were more mild,
but in general their charges overshot the
mark because Of their intempersnce and
scanty foundation. A committee was APP
pointed and made charges to the city
board. That body had no jurisdiction,
and the committee was referred to the Su-
perintendent. A letter was then addressed
to Superintendent Brown demanding
The removal of P. B. s. Pinchback, :

clans, wholly unfit for the honorable posi-
ton OF school director, and ineligible, be.

back to state that no charges nor evidence
were ever presented; but the denunciatior
still pursued him, and he was charged
continually as forcing the race issue in the
schools.
This happened about eighteen months
ago. Either Pinchback has raised him
self up to the level of General Nichols
and his surrounding gentlemen, or drag
ged them down to his plane of illiterac.
and unftness; because to-day Pinchbacl
is an honored leader in the Nichols party
with more following than any Of his as
sailants, and able to bring back Grove
at mass meeting by his wit and readi
ness, after Thomas J. Semmes, the high
toned ultramontane scholar, has scatteret
them by his dullness. Pinchbacks enjoy
an intimacy with Nichols that none Q
the gentlemen who signed the card eight
cen months ago dare hope for.

THE COMMISSION .DEsPIsED AND THE
GOVERNMENT DRFIED.

There have been expressions going to
show that the Democratic members of
Congress who linger in the ante-rooms of
the President are, in the opinion of the
Democracy, going beyond their authority
But for the fortunate presence of the
plenipotentiary of Mr.. Nichols these
representatives would have been no where
in the protocols and allocutions. Of
them it is said in the Times:
As it is, our representativesin Congress
are considered unusually milk and water
ish, and had it not been for the presence Of
shrewder men, it is believed the Radicals
would have got away with them.
With this iInputation of these inefficient
agents we have seen an avowal of bold
and revolutionary purpose on the part Of
the White Leaguers. Within the past
week there has appeared in the New Or
leans Times succession of interviews
with s1eading Conservatives, all which
avow contempt for the coming commits
sion, with an open threat to maintain the
Nichols invasion without any kind Of re-
gard to the consequences, civil or mill
tary. The publication in the Times car
ries with it mot even the editorial indorse-
ment of that equiyocal sheet. These
proclamations Of the White League plan
are plaearded on the dead wall Of political
neutrality, yet they are notices to all pru-
dent people to beware, just as when we
| have seen mysterious numbers posted on
the curbstone or chalk marks on the pave
ment, it has been known to carry perfect
comprehension to those who waited for
the patchwork to arm and report for ser
vice.
A few extracts from these authentic in
timations Of purpose may not be amiss for
the consideration Of the President and
his Cabinet They may serve to suggest
that the members who haunt the ante
room have been observers Of his inten-
tions; that his conservative expressions
addressed to his excellency were without
authority, or simply designed to ''shut
his official eye with delusige hopes, but
that while their flag Of truce was flying SO
placidly at the capital the White Leaguers
are throwing up Notifications and arming
to rspel any assault upon their position

ON THE souARE.

An unprecedented amount Of adveftis4
ing. great deal Of personal solicitation,
the intimidating Of merchants and trades
people into closing of their stores, the
few hours Of rest given to employees, all
together resulted in the gathering Of q
large body Of people at Lafayette square
on Friday. Mr.. Rozier presided Nh.

Pinchback and Allsin. Probably three
thousand people were around the stand
when Tenner spoke, bat not half that
number fingered to hear Mr.. Semmes.

THE MISSION.

The constitution makes it the duty of
the United States to guarantee to every
State Republican form of government.
This guarantee is to be given on the call
of the lawful authority of the State. The
United States has no discretion to deter
mine whether the guarantee is necessary.
It is an unconditional, absolute, instanta-
neous obligation. The Union could not
have been formed without this obliga-
ton to protect against the foreign inva-
sion Of alien or savage enemies or the
domestic violence of slave instruction.
The United States may properly pause, as
it has done on some occasions and as it
does now, to determine whether this de-
mand for protection comes from lawful
government. It has admitted the extent
Of the obligation by ordering an arrest Of
revolutionary action pending this inquiry.
To this question we address ourselves.
The Republican party is composed in
great part of people emancipated and
made equal with others While we deny that
the Federal government has the power to
90 behind the face Of those returns which
hays given the Republicans the govern
ment Of the State, We have no objection
to say that this. question would turn upon
the power Of the people to protect them
selves from q violence or intimidation
which prevented theexereise Of those rights
to which the constitution entitled them.
To deny this power would be to say that
court Of justice could not protect the
parties before It from similar danger by
rule or reeoenizance The President has
recently proclaimed that '.the general
government is the author Of the act Of
emancipation. He has added-
That moral obligation rests upon the

THE Turks seem to still hold the fort
results disastrously to the assA llting
parties. The position of Osman Pasha
in Plevna, seems stronger than ever.
Chefket Pasha has joined him with a
large force, mainly composed of Sulei-
man Pasha's Montenegro veterans, and
1t is believed that Plevna now contains
Turkish army of ut least 10000 men;
these in the hands Ofthat sIillful leader,
Osman Pasha, will make Plevna hard
place to take. Suleiman Pasha has
command Of Mehemet Ais army of
probably 100000 men. These two great
Turkish armies lie, one on each side of
the Russian line of communications
leading from the Danube to the entrance
to the Schipka Pass in the Balkan
mountains OF course, both these
armies must be driven out of Bulgaria,
before the Russians can make any per-
manent advance south cf the Balkans,
toward Constantinople. 1t now looks
as though it would require another
summer of campaigning to accomplish
this
In Asia Minor, another battle has
been fought and another victory has
been achieved by Mukhtar Pasha. This
Turkish general has been doing great
service Tor the empire i'll Asia. The
fortified city of Kars is as secure from
Russian possession as ithas been at any
time since the beginning of the war.
Such is the condition of things at the
close of the first summer of the war,
and the outlook could not be much
darker than it is, for the Russians.
