In the HERALD of yesterday we gave inn
portant intelligence from Japan. 1t appears
that the revolution has taken turn which
many believed impossible which some be-
lieved possible, but which the HERALD has all
along declared to be inevitable. The Tycoon
party is again in the ascendant. The Mikado
party has proved complete failure. The Mi
kado himself is now prisoner at Kioto and
in charge of the Mia or High Priest of the
country This is much more serious than at
first sight appears. It means that the party of
reaction have done their best and failed It
means more-it means that the party Of pro-
gress now have it all their own way. We are
prepared to hear on an early day that the Ty
coon, Statsbashi, has resumed supreme power
in Japan-supreme power meaning much more
than it has ever meant before in that country
It will not surprise us if Japan follows the ex-
ample of China and seeks, as China has done,
introduction to the great nations through the
medium of the United States. We have plenty
Of men quite as clever as Burlingame-men
who are perfectly prepared for some such mis-
sion. Meanwhile we await startling and hope

GENERAL GRANT ON PARDONING THE

remainder of the sentences and the release
from Imprisonment of all persons now in con-
dnement under sentence of military commits
sions organized under the Reconstruction acts
of Congress in the States where the said acts
have ceased to be operative. This important

The DIVORCE BUsINEss.-The Chi

son why Chicago wives are SO intent
on getting divorces


1t is found in the vast attractiyeness oi
Chicago men. There are so many SUI
perb, delightful men in Chicago, that
but few women can resist the desire to
marry as many of them as they can.
Hence as soon as q woman is married
to one man, she gets a divorce, not be-
cause she has anything against him,
but that she may marry another. And
so the process of divorce goes an ad lib
and al infHitRm. There is no woman
in the divorce business who expects to
be able to marry every man in Chi
cago, but some are bound to come as
near it as they can and we must add
that their perseverance is meeting with
very fair success.

Where the Democratic party obtains


power it falls at once to work repeating
the enlightened an progressive measures
enacted by the Union Republican party,
and demanded by the spirit of the age.
The Ohio Legislature was scarcely seat
/ ed in the Capitol before a resolution


was introduced TO rescind the action of


the State in ratifying the Constitutional


Amendment. New Jersey is claimed


as the next State which will withdraw


its ratification. But straws like these


are not needed to indicate which way
the party wind is blowing. This retro
grade policy is announced from Wash


ington as the policy of the party.


So far as it can possibly be done, the
Democracy aims to repeal the measures
enacted by the Union Republican party
and to place the country where it stood


before The rebellion, in the hands of It's
enemies, and with its heel upon the
neck of the black race. The annonce-
ment of the Ohio Democracy that the


party does not desire the restoration of
Slavery, means only that they have no
desire to see the same system restored.
But that they desire the virtual re-en-
slavemen tof the black man is not denied.
Every utterance, ever vote, every mea-
sure proposed where they have gained
temporary power, is instinct, with hos
tility to his elevation. He must be
denied the ballot, kept in the condition
of ignorance and helpessDess in which
slavery left him, and made the serf, if
not again the slave, ofthe rebel The
Freedman's Bureau, the reconstruction
measures, and whatever else has been
enacted, for his education and elevation,
would go down, had they the power.
They have unlimited faith in the capa-
city of the Southern people to manage
the negro, and they would ture him
over to the tender mercies of the rebel,
and wipe their mouths with satisfaction
at the deed. The real issue between
the two parties is still the black man.
And until all the rights are accorded
him which are possessed by all other
races in the country, he must still be, or
rather his wrongs must still be, the
element in our politics. This
issue divides the parties into party of
justice and party of injustice. The
one is progressive, the other retrogres-
sive. The Union Republican party
during its administration has set the
clock of the nation forward and in keep
ing with the true time of the age, the
Democracy insists upon turning it back
and setting it by the clocks Of the Old
World. Toledo Commercial.

In New Years article in the Li6er

TO the discourse delivered by him or
Thanksgiving Day, and, after few
words on general politics, comes out
squarely as follows for Gen. Grant:


The instinct of the people moves in
historical cycles, and they are feeling
now as never before the great pulses Of
civic life that have been swelling the
veins of the nation for nearly an hun
dred years. One administration Of the
length of George Washington's will
bring us to 1875, the centennial of our
National Independence. Let us repeat,
as nearly as we can, that administration,
and call to the Presidency the man who
best represents the policy of that Father
of our Country. As things look now
to me, 1 see one man who, beyond all
others, upholds the flag and bears the
sword of Washington, and is as ready
as he was to submit that sword to the
majesty of the law, and lift up that flag
above the clutch of party spirit into
the upper air of brave and broad patriot
ism. l thought it proper, in the recent
Thanksgiving sermon in All Souls
Church, to express myself on grounds
of Christian patriotism, and am sure
that the pastor Of that Church would
have done the same. l called no names
then, but am willing to call a name now,
and to say that Gen. Grant seerns to be
the providential man for our time. My
word is of little weight in pubic mat
ters, but every man should say his say
at the proper season. | may say this
the more distinctly now, as meaning to
keep out of the political arena, and
only use the old fashioned liberty Of

which is its sequel.

new term of four years. 1t supplemented that
decision by subsequent vote not yet two
years old, which returned the existing Con-

until the expiration of the term for which it
was intrusted with power, to wit: four years
from the last Presidential election, and two
wears from the last Congressional election, and
until the country shall change its decision by
reversing its vote.

very men who made the Rebellion, with COM
paratively few exceptions, allowing them
to adjust their political relationships with the
now freed colored race to suit themselves, on
the basis of the single restriction of the repre-
sentdtion to such of the population as COM
