THE National Viep declares that it be-
lieves in the rights of States as defined by
law, but does not believe in State sover-
eighty. 1t further defines its position on
our nationality very tersely. 1t believes in
the nationality Of the United States, and
that the States constitute not league of
communities, but Il nation. That is sound.

THE LADD bill has gone to the President,
md there is little or no doubt IN our mind
what he will do with it. We cannot now
anticipate any better fate for it than that it
will be laid carefully away in wisely con-
sidered envelope of objections The Demo-
Gratis have expressed marked confidence that
the President will approve this measure.
SO they did Of his approval of the army
bill with its "rider" aud before the princi-
pies and bearings Of the measure were fully
laid bare, we think there was some incli-
nation on the part of the Executive to ac-
commodate the case and get the measure
out Of the way, But as the measure de-
veloped under discussion, and its objection
able features became manifest, all doubt ON
the part of the President rs to his path of
duty disappeared, and he disappointed the
expectant Democrats, with manly and
upanswerable enumeration Of well fortified
objections. That sealed the fate of that
measure. Now comes the "ridcr' all by itself

FLORIDA is almost, if. not quite, as large
geographically rs Pennsylvania; but her
strength in the Electoral College is only
equal to that of Rhode Island, one of the
smallest States in the Union. This fact
should not be lost sight Of 10y the managers,
if there be such things in existence, of the
colored exodus from the Mississippi Valley.
There is room enough in Florida and acre
age sufficient Of public lands awaiting pre-
emption, TO accommodate the black refugees
with homcsteads, and that, too, in con-
genial climate where the inbred habits and
customs of their race prevail, and where,
with here and there an exception, the local
OF municipal courts are not wholly blind to
the requirements of impartial justice.

THs sincerity of the Democrats in regard
TO having military at the polls during Fed
eral elections-a thing scarcely known to
history--has been thoroughly tested pend
ing the bill passed by the Senate on Satur-
day, and as thoroughly exploded. When
asked to accept an amendment which would
prohibit the approach Of armed men of any
description within two miles of any polling
place, it was scorned by the Democrats for
the reason that ii would bar out riAe-clubs
and armed banditti, who do the intimidat-
ing down South They desire to expel the
army when it is not in use for such pur-
poses, and refuse to expel armed citizens
who interfere with the elections and shape
their results by menacing force, because
that is n Democratic habit This IS Demo-
cratic sincerity and consistency

The Times of this morning, in an editorial
on the Irish question, has the following re-
marks:-"It would seem frontthe language ofthe
New York HERALD, telegraphed us by our
American correspondent, that in the United
States, as in this country, all sober minded
men are Disguised ut the crazy pro-
gramme of the agitators.' The HERALD,
which for many years patronized Irish
disaffection, now warns Irish-Americans not
to give one cent to the Parnell crowd
The advice will probably be taken. 1t is, how
ever, not so much because any contributions
from the United States could help Mr.. Parnell
to do mischief at home that we are pleased to
see Americans scornfully repudiating 'Fenian
nonsense;' it is more important showing
that neither among the opposition in this coun-
try nor among the former friends of Irish ma
tionalsm abroad is there any sympathy with
the attempt to defy law, confscate property
and unsette government in Ireland"

the position taken by Parnell and denounced the

Appleton made an ultra sociaiistic speech

soundly berated the American press as the ipstru-
