SENATOR RANSOM, of North Carolina,
is among those distinguished and affable
Southern leaders who almost persuade a be-
lief in the iniallible loyalty of the Bourbon
Democracy. He is just now greatly exer-
cised over the reduction of the Democratic
vote in North Carolina as consequence of
the wholesale exodus of Democratic ne
groes from that State. We say Democratic
negroes because we are assured by Senator
RANSOM and his fellow-plausibles that the
negroes of the South generally are Demo-
Gratis, and that the Bourbon majorities lat
terly attained in the Southern States have
not been the result of bull-dozing and
fraudulent counts, but Of widespread
conversion of the blacks to that party. We
halt right here, however, to remark that
General RANsoM's loss is the gain OF his
Democratic colleagues from Indiana, Messrs.
MCDONALD and VOORHEES,. The Demo-
cratic "niggers" from his State are all
going, nearly ALL TO Hooslerdom, there to
swell the Democratic vote and affix with
tenacious grip the tail-piece of the Solid
South to its accustomed Bourbon hanginSs

THE Charleston Ne,os and Courier presents
the issue as between the Democracy and
Radicalism. 1t is now, as it was in
1861, between loyalty and treason at heart.
Those who then rebelled against the Gov
ernment, with few honorable exceptions,
are on the one side, and those who aided in
saving the Nation, with inconsiderable ex-
ceptions, are on the other-and that is to be
the dividing line of the next political con-
test in the Nation.

CALM and dispassionate consideration

something by aiding in the election of Cen

THE inter-partisan quarrel over the
finances between the Administration and
the Republicans in Congress, for which our
Bourbon friends have been so anxiously
waiting, seems to have resolved itself into
love feast. The truth is, the only i'm
pending partisan division on this subject
exists in the Democratic ranks where Mr..
BAYARD has laid down some very hard
money precepts, and, as chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, proposes to
make the soft-money wing of the party eat
crow by tSe Wholesale.

times a flush treasury and an honest sup
port Of the public credit are exhibited, and
the Democratic party, which has been in
the majority in the House long enough to
make an unfavorable impress upon Ma
tional affairs in other respects, cannot lay
claim to any credit for having promoted
those desirable results. The truth is, how
eyor that skillful Republican minority
in that body has always stood asan efficient
check to any reduction of the revenue. To
this fact is due the flourishing and satisfac-
tory condition of the Treasury.

THE Richmond Dispatch is rather dis
trustful of Mr.. ELLISON S. KEITT, of South
Carolina, who is out in letter in the
Charleston Netcs, in which he declares for
GRANT and BAYARD as his favorte candi-
dates for President and ce-President OF
the United States. He says Solid South
may lead to Solid North, and that no more
dire calamity could belall the country than
that one section should be solid against the
other, where no principle is involved only
to crafty the hatred and to fill the pockets
of the unworthy. The Dispatch says that
Mr.. KEITT, "to avoid such calamity, calls
"on the people to lift themselves above party
and nominate candidates for these high
"oflices without regard to their previous
"party affiliations. We fear that Mr.. KErTT
is almost too much OF GRANT man TO be n

"'the most renowned citizen America has

is merely biting file when 1t snaps so Bit
terly at the Presidential prospects of Cen
eral GRANT, and we really think that it
should not tremble at the mere mention Of
the names of GRANT and BAYARD in this
connection. 1t is harmless.

QUITE number Of wicked Chicagoians
were induced to go to church last Sunday
for the purpose of seeing General CRANE"
The PoPE-that is, the Rev. r. B. Pope
held forth on the occasion in question, and
the Democratic press has widely chronicled
the circumstance as worthy Of especial
notice because of all absence of any political
illusions in the sermon. But with those
here in Washington and elsewhere who
know that General GRANT is an habitual
church-goer, the occurrence attracts little at
tention, except as an accident whereby an
unusual number of chicagoians were in
induced to find sests in the Sanctuary.

THE short-sightedness Of Bourbon and
Brgadier craftsmanship as illustra ted in
the last Congress when the Government
appropriations were made, served to rob the
Democracy of much political capital that
would otherwise have been at their COM
mand They were idiotlc enough to fail to
make many needed and other public
spirited appropriations for internal inn
proyements whereby the Government
money would have been distributed broad
east the country over, and in consequence
OF which they would now be able to claim
that existing favorable changes in our fnan'
cial condition had resulted from impulses
and direct influences growing out Of II gem
erous internal policy. Again, they failed
to cut down the revenues materially, al
though the reduction Of the tobacco
tax was a step in that direction, and
thereby left in the Treasury large
sums of money to be used in paying of the
public debt. Thus II happens, that good
