Le luaus crowded the house tops and
suburbs of the city, ?nd all thc thoiough

anxiously watched. Although the peo?

OLK IMTBBNAIJ DIFFICULTIES
Several of tbe upper counties of tl
State continue to be cocvolfed with i
terna} discord atid strife, au i deeds

inanity Stauda aghast-cootioae to
perpetrated.
We had hoped that, the exc?teme
of the ?lection over, peace aod qui
would be restored tc our distracted S tai
and something like Ia?r and order pr
tail. The responsibility for the failu
of the country to realize this d?sirai
and d?sired condition, and for the pr
sent unfortunate state of affairs, if we <
justice to the truth, wc must, put at tl
dour of the State authorities-the Go
erotneo! of the State itself. This seex
a high an J grave charge, since the poi

through the machinery of the Sta
Government, aud this, first and lat
from its creation and design, should 1

In looking for the immediate cans
of the present strife and blood, what a:
the facts that come up to view ? Is n<
the whole of it thc result of che "Wti
chester Rifle Policy" inaugurated i
order to carry the late elections ? Wil
this view, the colored people were arme
as the militia of the State. The whiti
were denied arras and organization i
such. Hence, and necessarily, iuflutiu
the former with the idea that the contn
of matters was in their hands. Th
flagrant act of partiality, between ta
races, such as inhabit this soil, an
under the extraordinary and unnatun
circumstances which attend their exis
ence here, could but breed disturbance
Ou'break was the natural and almoi
j irresistible result cf such a policy. Sue
jan advantage and such a power, put i
j the hands of a race but as yesterda
j turned loose from slavery, necessaril
j ignorant, comparatively devoid of rcaso
I and discretion, and taking counsel c
! the baser passions excited by the teach
iingsofthe more intemperate of thci
j leaders, could but produce acts of hoi
?tility, and outrace, and murder. And i
I could not bc expected that the whit
race would quietly submit, lo the chafin
and galling yoke thus placed upon them
j And we do not hesitate to say, howeve
. much and deeply we deprecate thes

A committee from the House, pre?
serifed the articles of impeachment ot
Judge VKO#ON, to the Senate, on the
13th. There are six articles for drunk
enness. one for issuing b'aok writs of
babeaus corpus, and one for contempt
of the House.
On the same day they were presented
to the House by WHIPPER, read and
adopted by a vote of 84 to 11.
The Charleston Daily Republican,
speaking of this matter, says, "tho re?

This little "extra job" ia right into

Brumidi, whose decorations on the wall
of the Capitol arc well known. Thi

Previous to thc recent decorations, th<
Arlington was pronounced the fines

j .ie Friends of Governor Hoffman, o
New York, have certainly behaved verj
handsomely in withdrawing his name ai
a candidate for the Democratic nomi?
nation for the Presidency in 1872. Tbt
New Yo.k World, the New York Tele
gram, and other New York papers tuoal
emphatically endorse the action of tin
sachems of the Tammany Society, whe
have deelared through their organ, th?
New York leader, that Governor Hoff?
man is not a candidate, and that New
York desires the candidate to come from
the West; which appears tobe, bj com
mot, consent, the wish of the party,
'judging from the D?mocratie member*,
of Congress and others who visit the
! Capitol. The leader goes further and
j most warmly proclaims ex-senator lien
dricks, of Inc ians, as its choie* for the
nomination. This action on the part
of New York or Tammany, which po?
lis ?cally ia New York, virtually settles
(bat the Democratic candidate for tba
Presidency will be a western mao.

language from a Radical Governor to a
Radical President ; bat it ts only an otb
er evidence that times are ohaogiog, and
that the madness of the war and tba
bitterness which succeeded it is passing
away, and that (Be second sober thought
of thc American people is fast asserting j
itself. Scarce bas the thunders of the
guns fired by New York and Pennsylva?
nia died away when boom comes tba
sound of artillery from little Delaware.
Governor Saulsbury, of that Stat?,
while on the subject of Federal interfer?
ence, recommends the passage of a law
making such interference a felony,
punishable with the forfeiture of the
right of suffrage and other penalties
which the Legislature may deem proper
and expedient. The swarms of mar*
ahals made by Federal authority will
have no business in Delaware hereafter
to carry out the beaests of their master
Ulysses.
There is little doubt but that Presi?
dent Grant, through his mouth-piece,
Senator Morton, will ask for a little
more reconstruction, as the only means
of keeping the ."outh fro? throwing
their vote solidly for the D?mocratie
candidate for the presidency in 1872.
In a day or so we sh 1! have several
Tolumes of kuklux ?ad rebel atrocities
before Congress, which will make thc
hair of the truly "roil" Senators and
Members stand on end, and will congeal
the blood in their veins. In this con?
nection Secretary llelknap, at the request
of the President, has prepared a Hst of j
all the murders and outrages committed
io the South since the beginning of the
reconstruction policy. Would it not be
well to have a list of all 'be murders
and outrages committed in the North
during that period. I opine the differ?
eoce would not bs so great. In that
case would reconstruction be the remedy
for the North ? The worse the condi?
tion of thiogs at the Sou'h, the plainer j
it is that reconstruction is a failure, or
it would produce a better condition of j
affairs. Reconstruction has sei ved to
give (he Radicals power for a while,
but I am not sure that they will re en?
act that game ; the recent elections is a
warning which th y will do well to
heed.
