of the ordinary run of men would
not wish to be honored more than
Washington was2 Grant is not u
second Washington. He has none of
the esensibilities that distinguish

Then, again, | know that the idea of
nationalizing the country, of uniting
South and North in agrand imperial
march to material greatness, has
thoroughly taken possession Of Grants
mind His thoughts are continual
ly of empire. The sum total Of his
observation in his journey around
the world is this: England is great,
so are France and Germany; but how
much greater than all combined
might the United States become if
they were really nation. with n
great soldier like himself to shape
their destines? Wipe out, practical,

Cancellation by uniting South and
North ina glorious scheme of empire,
which would swallow up the whole
continent, absorb the region to the
northward and all that lies south of
us, and what glory would soon be

Many Of the thrones OF Europe,
seem 70 be trembling to their fall,
and the occupants of these thrones
are trembling also. Another at-
tempt to take the life of the Car Of
Russia is-anticipa,ed. As fast as The
revolutionary indications are sup,
pressed in one place, they are mani
fest at other points; revolutionary
publications have been suppressed
by the government. Nihilists lead
ers have been courtmarshalled;
state Of anarchy reigns in st. Peters
burg, and many persons have been
imprisoned, but all these precaution-
airy measures seem to avail nothing,
so far as restoring peace and quiet,
in lhatcoantry is concerned All
this may result in the abdication of
the throne, by the reigning Car. II
at least indicates a terrible state Of
internal dissension.
The Bulgarian cabinet was dis.
solved in a general row on the 9th.
France is having trouble with her
ministry and the Young king Of
Spain, before his honeymoon is past,
is beset on every hand; has had to
organize u new ministry. The con
dition Of things in Ireland is very
little improved. Hard times and
strikes Cypress England. Famine
in Silesia, and terrible floods in Hun.
gary, make up an outline Of a dark
picture in the old world. The pent
up feeling of dissatisfaction may yet
Ideluge Europe in human blood.
The Monitor says the reason we
don't read of outrages in the South,
is because we read Democratic pa
pers; or in other words, don't read
Republican papers. Well, we read
papers that tell the truth about these
o,trugcs-that puncture these 1rind
balls. OF course we could read of the
most blood curdling stories in any
Republican paper, from the Gazette
down to the Monitor, for they are
manegacturea to order for them espec-
cially, just before an election-double
loaded, Eliza Pinkston editorials.-
By the way, why don't they have
something to say about poor Eliza
now? She is in bad condition, in
the Canton, Mississippi JUL, for just
numbering her poor husband
Truly an outrage, but suppose some
white man or woman had committed
the deed; what 4 howl would have
been set up all along the Republican
line, about as follows: "Thc poor black
man has no teaseg his life in the South. :"

A curious circumstance occurred at
a recent meeting of the Board of Al
derman, in Boston. One of the
members moved that smoking be
prohibited at the polls, on election
day, till after 10 o'clock, giving as a
reason for this strange motion, that
as the ladies were permitted to vote
in that city for the first time, every
thing should be made as pleasant for
them as possible. Another member
opposed the motion on the ground
that if women proposed to vote like
men, they must take their chances
and rough it like men. We think
the last member was about right.
