An amusing anecdote is related Of Lama, the
late Italian statesman. He was told one day that
one of the Roman theatres was giving piece con-
tanning scenes insulting to some of the Cardinals.
LAMA sent for the manager. and said to him ="

Democratic managers in the great State
New York are just now casting abont for
candidate for the highest Office within the gnu
of our people. And who is it that is most prom
inently mentioned for the position by them
and by prominent Democratic newspapers from
Buffalo to Long Island A man oil unDiem-

is q recognized synonym of official virtue ana
public honor man whose record Is Without
stain 7 Not at all. The candidate for Cover
nor OH the Democratic ticket who to-day Is the
most shouted for by Democratic organs ana
other Democratic moulders of public opinion
is the man of all others in their party whose
career will not stand investigation. 10 de-
scribe his character it is only necessary to state
that few years ago he was convicted in the
sight of all men of intelligence of an infamous
attempt to obtain the electoral votes OF sundry
Southern States by naked bribery and corrup-
tion. No more atrocious crime against our IN
stitutions was ever committed than thls
man, rendered desperate by baked ambition,
aimed at. He had it in his heart to make the
right of suffrage a CHASTITY mockery, to
trample upon the will of the majority to gain
the Presidency of the United States by arts
that would have disgraccd the highwayman.
Working under cover of Il cunningly devlsed Il
cipher he felt himself as secure as does the mid
night thief who carries dark lantern but iHE

to the execration of all honest men.
Now it is obvious that if the writer OF the
letter to the Jellersonian Club had embodied
this leaf from our recent political history ID his
lachrymose letter, it would have been more
potent than any argument to convince whom 1t
might concern that he was justified in alluding
to "of.cial virtue and public honor as a
glimmering spark A consensus OF Democratic
newspapers favoring the withdrawal of the

letter was right, there is warrant for naming
"the official virtue and public honor with
which he is most familiar "a glimmerng

1t is impossible not to wonder why our
letter-writer came to omit this shocking ex-
ample" from his pages. We are certain that

I'VE have not said this. The point lies here; Our
Government can demand the release OF Its citizens
if they have been arrested illegally or if their Inno-
cence has been established by Judicial lnyestgs-
ton: but not otherwise. All that it can do for tho
Irsh-American suspects is to offer proof OF their GU

under the Act of 1865 for the simple reason that 10

ANOTHER NIST1KE.

Hatred is too narrow basis for political
party. Intense while it lasts, strong enough
with small proportion of the people, it is
never broad enough or enduring enough to
keep a political party in power OF all its
forms, race hatred is the weakest for political
purposes in a Nation like this, which blends
into one people men of all races, and has for
its cornerstone the doctrine that all men are
created equal. 1t will be very long be-
fore Americans will be content to aban-
don their proudest boast that this land
Of the free is 4 refuge for the oppressed of all
nations. Yet the Democratic party appears to
have no higher ambition at present tLan to
become the exponent of certain narrow and
un-AmeIican hatreds of race.
On the Pacific Coast, the Democratic party
hopes to become strong through hatred of the
Chinese. At the South, it has no other basis
for existence except hatred of the negro. In
some Western States, it appeals with

4 SIRIKING ILLVSTRAIION.

In his recent letter to one of the jefferson
Clubs, a well-known Democratic leader heaved
a sigh deep as a well and wide as a church
door at the decadence of our political system.
He characterized all that was left of official
virtue and public honor" as "a glimmering
spark" and talked about the spark in such a
discouraging way as to leave an impression
upon the minds of those whom he addressed
that unless extraordinary precautions were
used in nursing the spark, it would soon go out
in darkness-not the ordinary brand of dark
ness, but darkness thick enough to be felt.
The letter could easily have been made
stronger on this point had it occurred to the
writer-as it doubtless did MOTTO enforce his
views by giving an illustration that Lay ut his

E0RT HTMTER.

Twenty-one years ago to-day, April II, 1851, at
half-past in the morning the War OF the Rebellion
began That was the fateful hour that saw the
first shell discharged from the bowitzer battery on
James Island at Fort Sumter. For some months
earlier the hosts of Secession had been at work all
over the South, confining themselves, however, 10
manifestoes and procamatiOns and resolutions and
general clustering on paper. But the moment the
first shell had left the batterys throat that April
morning bloody contest was on, which was not
TO end until the morning of April 0, 1865, when
Lee should Internationally surrender at Appomat
tox Court House. Thousands of those who read
tbis noragraph will feel something of the old loyal
thrill as they recall the particulars of the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumter Andersons transfer of
his entire garrison from Fort Moultre, weak sta
ton, to Sumter, which Beauregard reported TO be
by nature perfect Gibraltar; the appearance OF
the South Carolina Commissioners at Washington,
with the design of having him removed; floyds
desperate attempts to bring him to grief /;
Brchanan's wretched haltng between varI-
ous opinions, mono of them patriotic; the
seizure of sundry forts and other property
of the United States by the Governor of South
Carolina the building of batteries, devoted to
Sumter upon the islands forming Charleston pay !;
the unsuccessful attempt Of the Star OF the W eSt"
to supply Anderson with men and provisions; the
formal demand upon BuCndidH IOI iAo oulANhuOi
of Sumter made by the Attorney y-General
of South Carolina; the expedition ordered
by Lincoln to relieve Anderson; Bcauregard's de-
mand for the surrender of Sumter and Andersons
refusal to surrender: the bOmDardment that fol-
lowed; the evacuation of Sumter, with its impress
sive attending ceremony of prayer and salute these
are the salient points in that first stirring chapter
of the history OF the war.
How far away and unreal 1t all seems,
looked at from these piping times of
peace! But we may be sure that
SO long as the Republic endurcs Anderson and his
garrison will live in the hearts of their country. 1t
is interesting to note that of all the officers who
participated the historical defence only three are
now living These are Generals A. Doubleday, I.
Seymour and s. w. Crawford. General Doubleday
was retired as Colonel; Seymour as Major-General; /;
while Crawford although also officer OF regulars
was retired for wounds received in battle with full
pay of the rank he held in the volunteer service as
Major-General General Crawford, we may add, is
now engaged in preparing book concerning the
attack on Fort Sumter

Our Irish friends now have an opportunity 70
raise a cry in behalf Of moro prisoners in for
eign dungeons and if they do not avail them
selves of the opportunity they will be open TO
the charge of Inconsistency at least. Ihere
may even be suspicious against their sincerity.
The cry of distress this time comes from the
donjon keeps of Chihuahua, Mexico, where four
miners say that they are unlawfully detained
while the American Consul there refuses 10
help them. Our Minister, MIR. Morgan, VIII
undoubtedly look into the matter promptly and
see that any wrong that has been done shall he
righted. But if the imprisonment is at all con-
nected with the perennial border troubles, 1t
may be hard to find out just what the night OF
the wrong in the matter is.
