From the New York News.l


What, then, is to be done2 The dema-
gogues exult to-day at their triumph
over the Executive. The success Of their
treachery and usurpation will make them
still more arrogant and reckless, and will
give their ambition wings to soar toward
a confirmed absolutism. They must be
met now, in the hour of their victory,
by measures prompt and decisive, that
will settle the issue and leave the field
permanently in the possession of one or
the other party. There must be moral
trial of strength between right and wrong,
between usurpation and legitimate au-
thority, between faction and the Execu-
tive, supported by the people. The
President, in his present position, is a
mere puppet. Eleven States and their
population, sienced and outlawed by
Radical dictatorship, have been kept out
of the arena. Their welfare, their safety,
their very political life depend upon the
issue in the settlement of which they are
denied all voice and participation. They
have the right to representation IN the
National Legislature. 1t is the duty of
the President to protect them in the en-
joyment of that right The vindication
of great principles, the interests Of the
people, the integrity of the Union, the
very essence of the Republic, in a word,
the enforcement of the Executive policy
of restoration, demands that the repro
sentatiyes Of the Southern States and
people should Immediately assume their
official functions-should take their seats
at once in the Senate Chamber and Hall
of Representative in the Capitol of the
United States.


The Radicals oppose their admission.
They bar the doors. They stand armed
with stolen and unlawful weapons to dis
pute the passage of duly elected members
of Congress 10 their rightfnl seats in the
National Legislature, Then why does not
the Chief Magistrate Of the Republic in
terpose his authority TO prevent this out
.age against the representatives of the
States and of the people ? He has the
power to do 30. He is Commander-in-
chief of the armies of the United States,
and has at his disposal an armed and dis
ciplined force amply sufficient to preserve
the peace at the seat of government, and
to enforce obedience to the laws beneath
the roof of the Capitol of the Republic.
Let day be fixed for the representatives
of the Southern States and people to take
their seats in Congress The seats are
there ready to receive the rightful claim
ants. Let them enter, take possession
Of their own and fulfill their official iunc-
tions. Should violence be offered them
by any man, or number of men, under
any pretense whatsoever, let the Presi-
dent send detachment of Federal troops
to preserve order in the Capitol IL
Radical conspirators attempt to sup
port their ururpation by force, the conse-
quences be upon their heads. 1t is time
the Republic should have complete and
constitutional national Legislature. We
have been ruled too long by faction. We
have been too long subject to the caprices
of fanatics. The country must be per
mitted to resume its normal condition,
and if revolutionists stand in the way,
the Executive arm is strong enough TO
sweep them from the path of restoration.

From the London Herald, March ~


1t was generally and naturally imag-
ined that before leaving the prison in
which he was confined so able plotter
as Stephens would have previously pro
vided some means of conveyance to
America or France; but if we are to
credit his own assertions, he entertained
no intention whatever of abandoning his
projects and il would not appear that he
took the slightest precautions to conceal
his identity-not even so much as the
ordinary one of cutting off his beard, as
he still sports the same one in Paris
which he paraded before the magistrate
on his committal. Having no wild coun-
try or powerful friends to shelter him, it
is evident that his only chance of safety
lay in his remaining in Dublin; but be-
ing personally so well known, we cannot
conceive how he could have managed to
conceal himself there without taking the
most ordinary steps for his own preser-
vation. The city is comparatively small;
very great proportion, If not an abso-
lutte majority, of its inhabitants are
strongly opposed to his views; the f2, 900
offered for his apprehension was enough
to shake the fidelity of many who must
have been cognizant of his whereabouts;
and with such circumstances 10 aid their
efforts, we are AZ loss 10 conjecture
how numerous and intelligent police
could have failed To track him to his
place of concealment. IL it be true, as
asserted, that he came to Holyhead in the
mail packet, the very daring of such a
step NAV have facilitated its success, for
the quay at Kingstown- n--crowded as it al
ways is on the arrival or departure of a
steamer-would be the last place in
which those seeking him would deem il
likely TO meet him, and a Government
boat offered the least probable means OF
conveyance he could have chosen for his
flight.


Although we should be sorry to impute
disloyalty TO a body of men so highly
spoken of in Parliament by those who
ought to be best qualified 10 form a
correct opinion Of tkeir feelings and con-
duct, still it is impossible to shut our
eyes to the fact that either they must be
stupid TO a degree, or corrupted, for
otherwise Stephens would never have
ventured TO expose himself, as he must
necessarily have done, to the observation
of many Of their number when passing to
the packet; nor could he have evaded
their pursuit if conducted with yigor and
good faith during the months that have
elapsed since his first escape, even though
the whole population of Dublin were in
league to protect him And who, we
ask, may be blamed if disloyalty is uni
versal among the lower classes of the
Irish people, and has even penetrated the
barracks of the Irish police and the ranks
Of our army2 Who but the Wing gov
ernment, who having been kept an cou-
rant by their spies with the march Of
events in ireland and America, hesitated
from some unintelligible motives to
strike in the one country, or to remon-
strate in the other, until the poison of
treason was effectually spread among
the peasantry, and had even tainted the
paid and sworn defenders Of the State.

The Oriental idea that feminine
delicacy is only to be maintained by
concealing the face, seems to have
been borrowed from the house
builder moth, which is a perfect
model Of female excellence, according
to oriental notions, always staying at
home, always hiding her face, and
always producing enormous families,
Perhaps the male may be attracted
to the female by some peculiar in
stinct, for the eyes can have little tC
do with the discovery, she being 81
closely shut up in her house, and
never leaving it till the day Of hel
death.

BEAUTIES OF PROFESSOR BLOT.
The Professor gives these directions
for making gravy; Two tablespoon
fuIs of fat, pound of meat, an onion
and carrot sliced, and little broth
were put on the fire. When the
meat was well fried water was added.
He said it was impossible to make
a good gravy without carrot and
onion, as each contains sugar, which
gives the gravy pleasant favor
The volatile oil Of the onion evapo-
rates while frying, so that the gravy
has no pungent taste or smell. He
also tells pupils how to prepare burnt
sugar, which is so much used in soup
to give it brown color. Sugar is
to be put in an old ladle and set upon
the Goals until it becomes brown.
Cold water is to be put in and al
lowed to boil up, and the whole
strained.


Professor Blot thinks saleratus
deleterlous IN It's effects upon health,
sort of slow poison, and he never
uses it. Pork and veal, he says,
cannot be cooked too much, and
neither should ever be eaten at sup
per. The waste of the brain from
mental labor is more readily restored
by the eating of fish than meat.

p6rThe Radical "Drake Constitu-
tion of Missouri contains provision
for taxing graveyards and cemeteries,
and requiring that they be returned 10
the Collector and sold at auction in
case of non payment of such taxes.


No other State in the Republic
probably no other civilized country in
the world--has ever enacted such a
law.


1t is entirely appropriate that the
Radical fanatics in this country, in q
State where clergymen are imprisoed
for preaching the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, and where liberty is extended
only to men who preach in favor of
disunion and civil war, should domahd
tribute of the grave, and sell the bones
OF the DEED under the anetionOer's

pg"The Boston Pilot, the leading
Irish paper IN this country, likes the
bold, frank manner of the President in
addressing the people, and says:


"He does right TO defend himself
and his policy against the rude and
brutal attacks OF the Radicel Congress,
press and mob. He talks plainly TO
the people, and they understand him.
Figuratively, when he speaks. thirty
millions Of people listen. Singe- handed
and alone, with truth, sincere love for
the Union, and reverence for the Con-
stitution, and determination to enforce
the laws, he can meet and overturn his
enemies. We are thankful that he has
seen fit to take this course, and enter
tain the firm belief that tho results of
the Presidential tour will operate for
substantial good"

Clymer, of Pennsylvania. A dispatch

WASHINGTON, September 22.-Gen-
eral Grant denies the reports put in
circulation concerning his preference

General says his record is that of a
soldier, and he has condemned the
practice of officers making political
capital off the records of the army
1t is not in accordance with his way of
doing things.


"The General regrets exceedingly
that his name has been mixed up with
local politics. The. report, as publish
ed, is tissue of falsehoods. General
Grant never made use of the language
attributed to him. He is warm sup
porter of the Presidents policy, and is
doing all in his power to influence ev-

JUDGE PRArT's DECISION on THE LIABILITY OF
MLITIAMEN TO Do JURY DuTY.-The Act of lS62
by its terms, simply contemplates that mlitiamen,
when entered into service shall be for the time be-
ing, while so enrolled, ETC., exempt from the per
formance of jury duty. By the law of 1868, which
amends that it is provided that when such militia
men shall have served seven years, they shall be
exempt from the performance of Jury duty. In
lS66 these laws were both repealed and new sys-
TEN of religions service provided for. In this latter
system provision is made excepting militiamen n
from jury duty. There can be question to the
repeating power of the Legislature. That power

der these laws, and it follows if these acts were
repealed before the expiration Of seven years r ON
date of any miltiamans enrolment such militia
man could not and did not acquire thereby any ex.
emption from jury duty which otherwise might
have followed seven full years of such service

Receiving two of the best papers printed on silk

late, from time to time all the principal articles for
the benefit of those engaged in the silk business,

from many other articles. The market for silk is
the whole world, and varies but very little in one
country from another. 1t sells always according

in its columns and do my best to assist every one

TIE RIGHT TO WIFI CHILD TO
DEATH FOR NOT SAYING ITs PRAYERS
The Ofleans Circuit was in session last
week. The case of Lindsloy, the child
murderer, was presented to tho Grand
Jury, and an indictment for manslaugh-
ter was returned. Lindsey was ar
raigned, and pleaded to the Indictment
not guilty 1t is said that he declares
that he was fully justified in what he
did. In other words, that he had
right to whip his child to death to com
pei its obedience to any command that
he gave. That question is to he decided
in court when the case comes to trial.
The same judicial favor that has attend
ed Lindsey all the way through, en-
abled him to get his trial put over to the
January Circuit. 1t will be said that
this was but in accordance with custom,
that criminal shOuld not be tried at
the same time when he is indicted.
Lindsey and his counsel had a right to
anticipate an indictment, and have had
months to prepare for trial. The adyan-
tage they expect TO derive from delay is
a subsidence of public sentiment toward
this monster, aud perhaps an absence of
witnesses for the prosecution .-ROchesfer
