If, as stated, the terms proposed by the
Beers are such as cannot be accepted, the
Beers have made a mistake. The Glad
stone Government is evidently encounter
ing a strong hostile public sentiment in
offering them terms at all under the exist
ing circumstances, and should they be IN
reasonable in their demands the Govern
ment will very probably be unable to
maintain its position, and may be COM
PEELED to renew hostilities. And though
the Beers have been very successful in
their defense thus far, their leaders must
be well aware that it is 4mpossible for
them to hold out for any length of time
against the full power of England. Re-
sistance, in fact, can only, if persisted in,
result in their destruction while they
have certainly done enough to justify them
in accepting almost any just and reasona-
BILE terms. It cannot be pretended now
that they are beaten but if they render a
continuation Of the war unavoidable, it is
very certain that they must be defeated in
the end, and of course this consideration
makes it impracticable for them to demand
such terms as would be reasonable be-
tween Powers OF equal strength.

PAuPER EsnGRATIoN.-In an article de-
scribing and commenting upon the mar
velous increase of population in the United
States, the st. James Gazette says In
the face of facts like these, it is quite won
derful to reflect that there are men ready
to prescribe for the disease of an excessive
agricultural population nothing better than
the quack remedies of interference with
private property, when this amazing
economical history OF the United States
points straight to emigration as the sole,
the sovereign, the infalhble cure" At this
time, when such declarations are appear
ing in the English press, and when the
economists of Germany are making up
their minds that the loss of even thrifty
inhabitants is the lesser of two evils, it Is
apparent that prompt steps should be
taken by this country to shield itself
against an 1nroad, not of seif-respecting
laborers, but of pauperism and crime. In
the article from which the above quotation
is taken, the ST. James Gazette, after ad-
hitting that the independence of the United
States has been of the highest value to
mankind, solemnly asserts that in this
country, "where the conquest of the soil
has been most actively going on, law and
Justice have been scantily administered,
even with the assistance of Judge Lynch. 5"
Hitherto law and justice have done very
well for society in this country, but If the
Gland of the free and home of the brave
is allowed to become the home of foreign
convicts and paupers Judge Lynch may
become Chief Justice Of the United States.

PENSION FRAUDS.

The cheerful announcement is made by
the Commissioner of the Pension Bureau
that the country is being robbed through
that office, or rather through the pension
law, at the rate of about two millions of
dollars year. This is the somewhat high
price which the American people are called
upon to pay for the pleasure of witnessing
that contest of demagogism between the
two parties in Congress which led to the
enactment of the pension arrears bill. That
bill was as plain machinery for theft as
was ever framed, and when it was intro
duced the press pointed this out. But a
Presidential election was coming on, and
so neither party had the courage to take a
position which the other would have been
certain to interpret as a malignant assault
upon the brave soldiers who saved the
q Union" So the bill was passed, and ever
since it has been the means of supporting
thousands of impudent scoundrels who
ought to be in the penitentiaries, while it
has done little good to the genuine soldiers
for whose ostensible benefit it was enacted.
At present, as the Commissioner states,
the frauds under it amount to some
81, 100000 per annum. Congress could
not be induced to appropriate tenth part
of that sum for single year to save the
Sacramento valley from destruction, but
when a little political capital is in question
no expense is thought extravagant, and SO
we presume the steal under the pension
bill will continue, lest any attempt to re-
form the abuse should cause someone to
be accused of wishing to deprive the poor
soldier of his pittance.

SHOULD BE STOPPED.

II the Government OF the United States
or the Governments of New York and II.
linois possess any authority, they ought to
interfere promptly and peremptorily to
prevent the holding of meetings for the
purpose of rejoicing over the brutal and
dastardly murder of sovereign whose
friendliness to this republic was always
notorious. The blackguards and fools who
think it a fine thing to throw up their hats
over assassination are in no sense repre-
sentatives of the American people, and
therefore should not be permitted to mis-
represent and calumniate them. 1t is not
only an outrage that these fellows should
undertake to jubilate over the assassina-
ton of the Gar, but it is a gross and fla
grant insult to the decent and respectable
elements of American society that they
should be allowed to make public exulta-
ton over murder in any shape. There is
no wisdom in temporizing with such un-
mitigated ruffianism. It ought to be
stamped out unhesitatingly, as signifying
nothing but blind hostility to the human
race, equally Objectionable to any and
every form of government

Possesses greater natural advantages than our
own, but there are portions of the great grain
bearing West and fertile South where atmos-
pheric influences preiudicial to health mill
tate against them, in some degree, as places
of residence Heavy rsinfalls and thu over
flow of great rivers, which upon their sub
sidence leave dank vegetation exposed to the
rays of the sun, there beget malarial fevers,
and there also the inhabitants are periodically
obliged to use some medicinal safeguard
against the scourge. The most popular is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, preventive
that has for over quarter of century
afforded reliable protection to those whom
experience in the futility Of ordinary rem
edies for fever and ague, has taught to SUBJ
stitute for them. Whether intermittent or
remittent, miasnatic fevers are conquered
and averted by this superb anti-periodic and
fortifying medicine as they ara by no other
preparation in use. Use it, and abandon
impure local bitters.

government, without paving the way for
anarchy. The least invasion of the broad
principle of equal rights must be fatal.
The moment majority rule ceases to be
controlled by impartial justice, it is
transformed into the most odious and H.
tolerable tyranny. No tampering with
democratic institutions is permissible.
Break down the rule of equality of op-
portunities, which is the cornerstone of
liberty, and the steps by which the
final descent into chaos viii be made, are
no longer to be avoided. It is the failure
to recognize this which constitutes the
chief peril of the present time. We are
going on slowly but steadily in the direc-
ton of the precipice. We are being
drawn by degrees into the rapids which
precede Niagara, and because their roar
is but family heard as yet, we appear to
imagine that it has no significance for our
ears.
After the Encyclopedias the Sansculottes.
After the philosophers the assassins. After
the anti-monopolists the Justus Schwabs.
That has been the uniform experience of
mankind in the past Can it be believed
that the American people are exempted
from the operation of universal laws? It
does not matter how sincere our agitators
are, nor how firmly they are convinced of
the justice of their positions. The tact
remains that they are undermining the
fundamental principles of civilized society,
and that the success of their.endeavors
must result in the collapse of the whole
political and social edifee. We owe all
our progress, all our prosperity, all our adj
vances of every kind and degree, to the un-
trammeled operation of those agencies
whose latest manifestation are now being
viewed with so unreasoning an apprehen-
sion. 1t is to these influences and activi-
ties that the marvellous growth OF the
United States in a single century, from a
feeble and isolated cluster of colonies to a
great and powerful nation of fifty millions,
is attributable. Let us beware how we
initiate the example OF the monarch in the
Arabian tale who, at the zenith of his pros
perity and power, was induced to sever
with an ak rope which had sustained
aloft massy stone, whose fall buried
sultan and court and palace and all, in sud.
den and hopeless ruin.

MAEoNE and ELL.

Senator Hill, of Georgia, made an ex-
traordinary exhibition of himself in his
attack upon Mahone of Virginia. Such a
catalogue of threats and entreaties as the
irate Georgian hurled at his colleague on
this occasion is seldom heard. What end
he expected to serve by his inveotive it is
impossible to imagine. Malone had evil
IDENTIFY made his bargain, and he was as
matter Of course going to perform the con-
tract. The scene was not an edifying one,
no matter from what standpoint regarded
The position of Malone was no doubt such
as to afford him some excuse for voting
with the Republicans, but there can be
40 question that he was elected primarily
as Democrat, and that he could not
have been elected had he been supposed
TO be anything else than a Democrat.
AS to his independence of the Democratic
caucus, it is well enough as defense
against Hill, but nobody believes that
the Senator from Virginia has made
mis- choice disinterestedly, or that
he does not expect to do better with tie
Republicans than he could have done with
the Democrats. He has in fact made the
best Of his market, and that is the plain
and obvious explanation of his decision.
He he'd particularly advantageous posi-
tion, and he has availed himself OF it with
business shrewdness which Connecticut
Yankee might envy him the possession of.
There is really no room for any thought of
public spirit or true Independence in the
transaction. Malone was enabled to
change his colors without making himself
absolutely infamous, andvhe has done so.
The Democrats, however, had nothing to
gain by attacking him, and as fact the
assault of Hill made for his antagonist, for
it offered him the opportunity to parade
his independence quite vaiantly. We do
not think the incident deserves much re-
mark but the best thing about it was
Hoar's speech. which. though not alto
gether relevant, was adroit and of pop.

Pass AasoolATIoNs

The most remarkable feature about Press
Associations as rule is that they do not
represent the press. There is one of these
curious organizations at present wandering
in a professional way about the southern
part OF this State. attending banquets,
holding receptions, making speeches, and
disporting itself generally in very ford
and pretentious way. Yet careful ex-
animation of the list of persons composing
the party shows that there are no repre-
sentatiyes of any considerable journal
present, and that in fact the newspapers
which are naturally thought of when the
press is spoken of are conspicuous by their
absence. Who the greater number of
these Press Association holiday makers
really are we do not know. Some of them
hold indirect relations to the press Some
perhaps are occasional correspondents and
contributors. But certainly none Of them
stand for the press of the State in any
real or large sense, nor do they represent
any appreciate element of journal
istic influence or thought. Why people
who for the most part possess no title to the
name of journalists should specially delight
to masquerade under that title, we do not
know. True journalists arenot at all fond of
parading themselves. Having real pride
IN and reverence for their profession, they do
not relish the studied publicity of these
expeditions, and they especially revolt
from the implied idea that they are ac-
customed to sponge their way. and to look
upon such sponging as 8 professional
privilege. The people who see these Press
Associations on their travels should con.
sequently understand that they seldom or
never represent the press. and that the
habits and customs OF journalism are not
to be learned from any study of their pro-
ceedings. This explanation appears to us
to be in some measure necessitated by the
notoriety which the spurious press tourists
are so eager to seek, by any means what
ever.
