TIE military critic OF the London Times
thinks it probable that the three columns
OF invasion will content themselves with
seizing the frontier passes which open up
Afrhanistan. The northern division, un-
der Sir Samuel Brown, will not advance
beyond Dakkah, ut the western end OF the
Khyber Pass, eighteen miles from the
Fort Of Ali Musjid. The central column
under General Roberts, will seize and hold
the Khuram Pass; while the southern col
umn will remain in the Pesheen Valley.
The prediction is surprising and ought to
be unsound. Against IN Asiatic enemy it
is all important to follow up the first sue
cess. The fruit OF victory must be plucked
with bold hand. Indeed, in any war the
very last thing for IN invasion TO do is to
stop. The Russians, to their undying re-
nown, pushed forward after the tall of
Plevna without an hours delay, and
stormed over the passes of the Balkan in
the very heart OF the winter. Had they
waited for spring it is entirely probable
that they would never have seen the Col
den Horn from the steeple OF San stefano.
Ii Anglo-Indian soldiers have to go into
wintcr-quarters in November, the world
will judge that they are neither so enter

covites who marched with Gourko over

ments for gold payments to the sub-Trcas-
ury ut New York. There the department
willstand ready to give gold for greenbacks
to any extent. That, as he justly says, will
mean practical resumption throughout
the country. New York is the fnan-
cial centre OF the United States. 1t
controls tho exchanges of the nation.
1t enjoys substantial monopoly OF
the, exports OF gold. After legal tender
notes are taken to the Custom House,
there cannot well be any considerable in
quiry for gold outside of New York. To-
cal pride may insist upon formal rcdemp-
ton OF greenbacks at other points; but
the demand will besentimental and not ne.
cessitous. The Bank ofEngland pays gold
for its notes in London; nowhere else.
Yet the notes are as good as gold in Liver
pool, Manchester, Dublin, or Edinburgh,
and pass abreast ofsovereignsin the money
markets OF the Continent. But the
Secretary appears DESTROYS OF dispelling
every shadow OF dissatisfaction that may
gather over the working OF the resumption
act. He promises, as matter Of conve-
niencc and courtesy, that he will give
gold for grcenbaCks in Boston, Baltimore,
Chicago and other leading cities; presum-
ably wherever there is n sub-Treasury to
make the exchange. We do not imagine
that he will be called upon for any I'M
manageable amount; but il he should be

In regard to the acceptance OF green
backs for customs, as long as the Treasury
maintains the notes at par, We fail to see
how any bondhOldcr is aggrieved or i'm.
pcrilled blythe proceeding. Still, as it is
against usage, and would seem to conflict
with the letter OF the law, an express au.

JUDGE KEY
ON Crnnt and the solid South.

WASHINGTON, November Meeting
the Postmaster General in his hotel, re-
porter drew from him the following brief
interview:
"Judgc Key, it is reported that you went
to the Pacific Slope to look after the chan
ces Of the great combination ticket, Grant
and Key, for 1850" te
"Therc is not word of truth in it. So
absurd story needs no denial among sen.
siblc people. ] suppose it is joke, and
poor joke Mt that. !"
'But, seriously, did you not find Grant
strong on the Slope?",
II took no pains 10 find out whether he
was stronger weak. In conversation with
leading Republicans was told that he was
the iavOrite for 1880 in that quarter, and
that he could carry California and Oregon
by larger majorities than any man living.
Perhaps he could; l don't know anything
about it."
apo you think he will be candidate in
lSS0?"
'tThat is rs impossible to tell as whether
this day week will be clear or cloudy.
Seems 10 me 1t all depends on circum.
stances. Anything tending to disturb the
public tranquility strengthens Grant and
enlargcs the number who want him. The
Potter investigation and the threats that
an attempt would be made to unseat Pres
ident Hayes was the prime cause OF all
this Grant talk. Grants name represents
stability and strength, and when the pub
lie peace is threatened people naturally
turn 10 him-nOt all people, but some

south2"
~ think it is a mistake. am sorry OF
this tendency to draw sectional lines. No
matter who is to blame, the evil is Just as
great. The South is the weaker section, as
one ought to know by this time, and a
solid South has q tendency to unite the
tho North. This places the Southern
section under great disadvantage.
With a solid South, doubt il the
Democratic party can carry enough
Northern States TO give them control
OF the Government. 1t looks asi though
our section was fencing itself out OF power
for a generation. To have sectional lines
and party lines destroys the harmony OF
the country, engenders bitterness and bad
blood. don't want to see q solid South
or q solid North. want to see both Sec
tons divided between the parties, and
sectionalism taken out OF politics. want
to live to see this, but fear that may
not"

An Editor Who sadly Fails to Discern
the Signs OF the Times.

We take the following editorial remarks
from the last issue OF the Weston Demo
crdt:
1--WE notice q disposition on the part Of
n portion OF the Republican press to howl
about a solid North .Ys. q solid South. 1t
is evidently tho desire OF the leaders OF
that party to again raise the "bloody
shirt" cry, knowing rs they do full well
that their bad conduct has been such rs TO
forfeit the confidence OF the majority of
the peo pie, and that their partial success
in the November elections resulted from
the Democratic party in the Eastern
States surrcndcring in many instances
10 the bondholders and bank interest.
The leaders OF the Republican party oil
know that in 1850 the Democratic party
will not yield TO such men rs Tilden to
dictate the platform; that the party will
adopt platform similar to TINT adopted in
Ohio, which will insure success against
the position taken by tho Republican
party; hence so much talk about solid
North against solid South. Wherever
the Democrats adopt what is known as the
: Ohio idea on the financial question. sub
stantial victory rewarded their boldncss
and honest sentiments; and on the other
hand, wherever they surrendered 10 the
money power they were defeated"
We need not discuss with the Democrat
the question of alleged disposition on the
part "of portion of the Republican press
TO howl about solid North VS.. solid
South" We will assume that much to be
n fact. In view Of a readiness Of that sort
on their part what is the proper policy of
the Democratic press2 Is tito deny, out
and out, the truth OF the reported election
outrascs in tho South, or, admitting them,
to belittle them as matters Of no consc-
ouepce? This Is question Of moment in
Disgusting, MS the Danocrai is doing, the
policy to be pursued with reference to the
Presidential canvass of 1850. Does the
editor not know that tho position of the
Democratic press, North and South, with
reference to Southern outrages is largely
responsible not only for the regular recur-
,rcncc of those ontrNges, but also for the
impression that they make on the North
ern mind? Tho Northern pcoplcwill con.
tinuo to vote against the Democratic party
lust as long as It shall appear that iairclec-
tons cannot BIO held in the South under
Democratic auspices, 'Red shirt riders
and "tissuc ticket suffers" in South Caro-.
lima arc costly allies Of the Democratic
party, and Just as long as the Democratic
press champion their outrages and frauds,
Just so long will the people saddle the re-
spOnsibility on that party and visit iudg'
ment upon it at the polls.
As to tho financial issue in 1850, Of
which the Democrat speaks, the editor Is
just as far out Of his true course in that
respect as he is on the "bloody shirt
question. There is no point in saying that
the Democratic party in the Eastern States ]

mates that tho white people of South
Carolina have felt obliged to adopt some
extraordinary measures this year, but says
that they have succeeded in accomplishing
their work, and should be more just and
reasonable in the future. The reduction
OF the Republican vote to about four
thousand does indicate very sharp polit-
cal management on the part of their OPP
poncnts. The Ntars and Courier called it
lighting the devil with fire, and advises:
Exercise forebearance; cultivate good
will; tighten the burdens Of the people;
give absolute security to the rights and
property of all; this is our duty, and it is
likewise our interest" Again, it speaks
well Of poison as remedy, but not as a
daily food. The idea seems to be that ii
was necessary to "bulldozc" the negroes
this year, but that after this it will not be
required.
