man convicted before him Of willfully violat-
ing the eleven-o'clock law to Jail for thirty
days. We think little of this sort Of treat
ment would soon break up the present pas
time of violating the law just for fun, and to
see how much of a farce can be made of it. 1t
is pity the saloon pi.oprietors cannot be
reached in all cases, but if the bar-tenders
will break the law in sport let them be pun
ished in dead earnest. A great reputation is
ahead for any mayor with the necessary dig
nifty and backbone to stop the defiant viola
ton of law. Thirty days in Jail would have a
wonderful effect in stopping the present dis
graceful condition of affairs-disgraceful alike
to the saloon men and to the authorities who
handle the law breakers so gingerly.

ST. John AND LEGATR.

The Voice, the national Prohibition organ,
Mr.. st. John innocent of the charges brought
against him by Mr.. Clarkson, and supported
by the letters published and unpublished, of
Mr.. James F. Legate, whose close personal
and political relations with St. John are not
disputed. The New York Evening Post after
review of the Voices testimony, says that
what is still lacking is proper expression Of
indignation from Mr. st. John himself against
Legate, who was bargaining to sell st. John
and the Prohibition party to the Republicans,
and against Senator Plumb, who introduced
Legate to Clarkson as a party able to deliver
the goods if the payments were satisfactory"
But, as the st. Louis Globe Democrat has al
ready said, Mr. st. John touches Mr.. Legate
in the softest possible manner. The Post,
which, as all know, is an anti Republican
paper, concludes:
"The evidence proves beyond doubt that
Legate was offering to sell st. John, and that
stated in writing that fair bargain had been
made with st. John, and that it had fallen
through only because the money was not paid.
The person who performs such Offices
for another without due authorization
is the most deadly of all enemies. Legate,
and not Clarkson. is the real assailant of ST.
John and should be so treated by st. John.
While Legate and st. John continue to be on
APP. arently friendly terms with each other ST.
Johns defense will fail to carry complete con-
viction."
And we are moved to ask again, for the
twentieth time, why does not Mr.. St. John
sue the Globe Democrat for libel9 That would
bring the controversy to judicial termina
ton, and do away with all these voluminous
and inconsequential statements" And, also,
we feel like again asking sincere and earnest
prohibitionists, if it is absolutely necessary to
tie up their cause with St. joint Do they
propose to stick by st. John and 60 down with
him, damned to everlasting fame, which is
that gentleman's certain and inevitable futureG

THE New York Sun warns the Democratic
party that the election of Mr.. Evarts as United
States senator is evidence that "defeat has al
ready begun to reinvigorate the forces that
last November in the teeth of treachery and
mutiny, fought what was almost drawn
battle" According to the Sun Mr. Evarts's
election '@means that four years hence Repub-
licais will fall back upon the mastery tactics
that snatched victory from an overwhelming
adverse majority in 1860; that they will send
unlucky generals, suspected file leaders, and the
whole mob of wayerers and camp followers to
the rear; and under the inspiring summons of
their wisest and their strongest reform their
lines for fresh charge The Sun advises
Democrats to talk little less exultantly; ''to
beat the drums call in stragglers, close up the
ranks, and get ready to resist cavalry"

JOINING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The New York World intimates that if
Jefferson Davis had joined the Republican
party at the close of the war he would not
to-day be regarded a traitor. The admis-
sion speaks volumes for the Worlds apprecia-
ton of the value of that party as a means of
grace.-New York Tribune.
From the sarcasm and repartee involved in
the above paragraph may be drawn enough
truth to establish the fact that had jefferson
Davis allied himself with the Republican party
he would not be regarded as the unrepentant
traitor that he is. 1t means something to
ally ones self to political party. The Re-
publican party is founded on certain princi-
pies, prominent among them that this is a Ma
ton. and not confederation that can be
dissolved at the will of few OF
many men bent on selfaggrandizement
or so blinded by prejudice and passion as to
mistake party fealty for patriotism. A man
cannot consistently ally himself to the Repub-
lican party without abandoning the dangerous
heresy of State sovereignty to the extremity
of secession. The ex-confederates who have
come into the Republican party since the war
have come with that understanding. No less
jealous than others with them in the war
against the Union, they came to realize that
it was stupendous mistake, a repetition of
which would be an objectionable crime. 1t
means something to be Republican. It's
chief feature is a patriotic belief in the indie
structibility of the Union. The Democratic
party, on the contrary, does not insist on such
Concession" It dare not, for the reason
that so great proportion of it do not believe
that secession was wrong, and concede the
permanency of the Union only because COM
PEELED to- Some of the chest Democrats in
proud to declare that they have been guilty
of nothing of which they have repent
ed. The rebellion was right in their
judgment, and was abandoned only because Of
superior force brought against it. Southern
Democratic papers proclaim that the South
fought for 'indestructible principles" No
body holding such views can be Republican.
There is no faint of the leprosy of secession in
the veins of the party of the Union. II JEFF
ferson Davis would affiliate with it, he must
first go through the pool of cleansing. There
is no room in the, Republican ranks for men
unrepentant of the crime of treason and MUIR

UNREPENTANT TRAITORS.

Bill Arp. writing for the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, in the interest of peace and harmony,
says:
''Of course the country will still be cursed
with few malicious idiots here and there
men like the Kansas senator, ingalls, of bit
terness and bonds of iniquity, aud they will
keep on waving the bloody shirt and talk
about treason until they die but with the So
Der masses of the people the past differences
will be buried, and we will shake hands across
the gulf that has so long separated u.s."
This is all very pretty, but at the moment
the masses are about to rush into the arms of
Arp and his fellow-Johnnies, he spoils it all by
continuing in the following fashion;
General Sherman has made a sweet m ess
of it. He has asserted falsehood and Mr.
Davis nailed it to the wall, and now he is
wriggling under it and has not got the manli-
ness to apologize and retract. He couldn't
look Mr.. Davis straight In the face if he was
to meet him, but Mr. Davis could stand up
and look at him with scorn and contempt
Now. let Mr.. Ingalls, and all his sort, under
stand once for all, that the Southern people
are not ashamed neither Of themselves nor
their leaders For twenty years we have sub
mitted to everything and every humiliation
for peace and good will, but we have never re-
pented of anything nor felt ashamed"
The spectacle Of jeff Davis looking with
scorn and contempt is not calculated to win
sympathy in any section Of the country where
loyalty to the Union is honored Nor is the
assertion that 1--WE have never repented Of
anything" likely to be accepted with hearty
amen among men who for four years were in
the army, because Mr. Arp and others
went into civil war. The Democratic
party and the solid South are not yet
enough out of the political woods to begin to
shout. The narrow majority of LOCO in a
State like New York is all that saved you.
The change of one vote in 1000 will reverse
the situation. The North is ready, and has
for years been ready to fuse with the South
into one indissoluble Union. But the North
does not and cannot forget that the thing Of
which you are not ashamed cost-it hundreds
of thousands Of lives, to say nothing of thou
sands of millions Of expense and debt The man
who is not ashamed Of such causeless slaughter
is not above engaging in it anew, and the
man who does not realize that the pro slavery
rebellion was the gigantic crime of the
age is inimical to the peace and perpetuity Of
the Union. These are facts that cannot be
sweetened by fine words that do not reach the
vital question. 1t is enough to forgive the
South for the wounds of war, and in view Of
the magnanimty of the North it is contempti-
BILE to boast of unrepentance.

Mr. CHAcE, of Rhode Island, conducted the
Anthony eulogy business in the House on
Wednesday, AS member from that State, this
duty was properly assumed by him, and no one
could say that he failed in any expression of fit
ting emotion or of regret and sorrow over the
death of the distinguished gentleman. AS Mr.
Chace had, however but just received notice of
his appointment by the Rhode Island Legislature
as Mr.. Anthonys successor, it was shrewdly sus-
pected by his hearers that he mourned as a
member of the House only which was all he
was called upon to do, and that as Senator elect
he was not really so sorry.
