The spirit of rivalry and jealousy is beginning to show itself in the Republican organs. This is particu? larly evident in the oourse of those journals in this oity and the temper they exhibit toward each other in discussing prominent topics. For instance, ono favors an increase in the President's salary, with a sly wink at the great eleot and a month wa? tering for the rare viands and tho generous wines at tho expectant table in the Executive kitchen. This organ is familiar with high living ?nd desires General Grant to have a salary which will enable him to main? tain a luxurious table for the benefit of bia friends. On the other hand, another organ opposes an increase of salary in view of the twenty-four hundred million indebtedness under which the nation groans, as if the proposed iuorease would prove more than a drop in o wine cooler as com? pared with our magnificent national obligations. This is tho cheap-liv? ing, tenement house, bran bread branch of the Republican organs-a very noisy, persistent, hungry, grasp? ing set of political sans culottes. Then there is a row about the te? nure of office bill. One set of Repub? lican organs declare that the bill must be modified or Grant will be a mere mummy President, like Andy Johnson, without power to do good or evil-a mero nonentity, neither useful nor ornamental. Another batch aver that a modification ia the tenure of office bill would bo an admission that the party had been acting wrong; and, moreover, they are not precisely so sure about Gen? eral Grant's fidelity to radicalism as to allow him the reins without-to uae an equine figure-first testing bis soundness and endurance. But, with or without a tenure of office bill, General Grant can suspend all go? vernment officers tainted with cor? ruption, and, pending investigation, submit their cases to the Senate, which will bo bound to sustain him. Still another set of Republicans are crazy after a universal suffrage amendment to the constitution, forc? ing willy nilly, negro suffrage alike npon all the States. And yet another faction aro positively opposed to such an extremo measure, and are rather violent in their opposition. Finally, prominent Republican or? gans are highly exercised in regard to the composition of Gen. Grant's Cabinet, there being already formed, or in process of formation, Cabinet rings in the East, in the West, in the North, and even in the South. The Eastern, or New England ring, bas Sumner as its favorite, with an old regime, but rutber enterprising, Bos? ton paper as an organ. The Western, or Chicago ring, has Elihu B. Wash burnc as its favorite, with a Chicago quid nunc as an organ. Tbe South? ern, or carpet-bag ring, has a repre? sentative man as its favorite, with a colored organ to groom him for the contest. But tho grandest ring of all -the great concentric ring, the ring within rings, tho ring that is prepared to dish up Cabinet ministers, foreign ambassadorships, fat colleclorships, and to serve out, according to order, all tho superb plums and delicious drippings from the larder of a fresh administration-is tho New York ring, with its impatient, quarrelsome and troublesome organs. Happily for the poaoe of Gen. Grant, either of theso organs can furnish a candi? dato for a placo in his Cabinet, or an ambassadorship abroad, without going out of the purlieus of their own sanctums. In the meantime, while all these political wire-pullers are in a ferment ?bout appointments and plunder un? der Gen. Grant's administration, that hero visits New York, smokes his segar, dines and chats pleasantly with personal friends, rides out with tho noblest specimens of horso-flesh in the world, and quietly and signifi? cantly remarks to soruo who approach him on political topics, ^ "When others have ceased talking it will be I time for me to begin to act." Tr. is clenr, therefore, that tho signs of j trouble which begiu to show them? selves among tho Republican leaders ] and organs do not disturb tho equa? nimity of Gen. Grnnt in tho least, but that, having made up his mind to go iuto tho Presidential office with n determination to reform abuses, re ut icc expenditures, and plaoecapable, 'loncst and trustworthy mon in office, ho will do so at tho hazard of thc opinions of all political hacks who may think they have him securely in their greedy clutches. Tronblo is beginning in tho Republican enmp. [New York Her aid. THE KING OF SIAM.-A telegraphic despatch, a few days ago, announced the death of Chao Pim Mongkout, the first or principal King of Siam. He was boru in that country, about tho year 1805, and succeeded his father, Phen Din Klang, iu 1825. Shortly afterward, through court intrigue, ho was superceded by his half-brother, tho son of one of tho King's mistresses, and voluntarily re? tired to private life. During this period ho became a Bhuddist monk, devoting himself to the study of lan? guages, both living and dead, in which he mado such extraordinary I progress as to attract tho attention of European savans, and was elected a Fello\7 of tho Asiatic Society of Great Britain. Other Rcieuces also j attracted his attention, and he soon became highly renowned in his own country for his vast learning and vir? tuous life. Tho death of the sove? reign iu April, 1851, created a vacan? cy cn tho throno which he was called I upon by the uuaniruous voice of his | countrymen to fill, and he again es? sayed the offices of state, with tho title of Prabat Somdet Pra Paramen thon Maha Mongkout, (King su? preme, august aud most sacred.) Bringing activity to bear his fund of acquired knowledge, he introduced reforms among his people, which impelled them forward rapidly in tho march of improvement aud prospe? rity, raising the, until then, despised j power, to one of material conse? quence in the fraternity of nations, and greatly enhancing tho value of j its productive capacities. Extreme j liberality characterized all his views. During his reign roads and canals were constructed to ' facilitate com? merce; habits of industry inculcated in his people, and advantageous trea? ties effected with Europe and Ameri? ca. Tho press was also established, and the utmost freedom of conscience I and worship mado the integral law of the Empire. What Peter the Great | was to Russia, this enlightened Asiat? ic monarch has been to Siam, which country has enjoyed almost unbroken peaco and prosperity throughout his successful reign. New Orleans Times. PUNISHMENT OP THIEVES IN DELA? WARE.-A practical exemplification of the manner in which justice is admi? nistered in the "Diamond State" has just been brought to light. For some time past, passengers who travel over the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wil? mington Railroad, and who stop at Wilmington to get refreshments, have been greatly annoyed by the opera? tions of thieves, who enter tho cars when tho trains stop and quickly snap up tho baggage of passengers who temporarily leave tho cars. Ouo of this gang was recently caught in the act of stealing a valise from a cur, and he was arrested and tried for the offence. He was found guilty and sentenced as follows: "He is to re? ceive forty lashes on tho bnro back, at the New Castle whipping-post, on Saturday next; made to stand in the pillory for four hours, undergo an imprisonment of one year, and make full restitution of the amount of value ? of the articles stolen, or romain prisou until he has done so." Mr. Greeley says a good word for Andrew Johnson, now that good words aro not of much account to him. "Venality." says Mr. Greeley, 'is not among his faults. We knew him in Congress, whore mou aro protty accurately weighed and mea? sured; ho has since filled almost every important station, made many bitter enemies, and waged deadly war against men abler and stronger than himself, yet ho has never been even charged with filling his own pockets I at the public coat." It is said Aiken is to bo colonized by disabled minist?re. Its reputa? tion for healthfulness causes thia honor to be paid to the place. THE TORTUGAS PRISONERS.- The i Boston Advertiser, spanking of the men now confined in the Dry Tortu? gas on the charge of complicity in the assassination of President Lin? coln, says: "Nobody ever conceived that Arnold ?as guilty of anything beyond the plot to abduct ; there aro gravo doubts whether O'Laughlin, now dead, was implicated further than that, and tho commission which tried them understood this fully or they would have boen sentenced to the gallows, instead of for lifo at tho Tortugas. Spongier, whose nix years' term is now more thau half expired, is undoubtedly an innocent man, kuowiug nothing of either plot; but every? body who evor examined tho matter, except President Johnson, became convinced of this long ago." The Alexandria Gazelle adds to tho above: "Wo believe Dr. Mudd to be entirely innocent. It is time that this out? rage upon justice and humanity should cense." SnARP ON inn F ARSONS.-The Uti? ca (N. Y.) Observer, commenting upon tho singing of tho hymn, "Praise God from whom all blessings come," in honor of the recent radical victo? ries over the Constitution by tho Bos? ton Methodist pursons, is very confi? dent (and very sharp) in tho predic? tion that men who pervert sacred hymns of praise to tho glorification of tho success of corrupt radical po? liticians are pretty certain to do all their singing ou earth. There'll be no singing (but plenty of singeing) in tho piuco to which they will go. Reverdy Johnson, in his recent re lily to the address ol congratulation of tho Freedmen's Aid Union of Great Britain, gave his experience, as a Southerner, of tho colored mao, declaring him capable of receiving education and of becoming the equal of tho white race. Mr. Johnson stated that he had defended the claims of hundreds of colored persons, and asserted his conviction that they were of average intelligence, judged by men of his own color. A HARD-HEADED OLD DEMOCRAT. A few nights since, n small party were assembled in General Grant's parlor, among them Mr. Dent, hi" father-in-low, who lives in Missouri. Some one asked him how Missouri had voted. The old man said: "Sho gives Grant 10,000 majority, but I'll bo d-d if he got my vote!" The General himself roared with laugh? ter ut the reply. A saw-mill, on tho Shediac River, in New Brunswick, recently set fire to itself and was totally destroyed. A freshet lifted the gate, which started tho mill, and the rapid and continued revolutions of the circular saw, the belting of which had been loft on, are believed to have heated tho boxes to such an extent as to set the conti? guous wood-work on fire. Among the bills and resolutions prepared and to be pressed at. an early day of the next Congress, is tho measure for a Postal Telegraph Sys? tem, an amendment to the Constitu? tion providing for uniform suffrage in all the States; appropriation for building n new Executive Mansion; bill for increasing the salary of the President, and for repealing the Teuure-of-Office Act. It is rumored that Johu Slidell in? tends to make an effort to recover his property in New Orleans, and for this purpose hos executed a pov.er of at? torney to two New Orleans gentlemen. This was acknowledged before Gen. Dix, American Minister in Puris, by John Slidell and his daughter nnd ic Frankfort by his son, before the United States Consul there. Young Slidell is a clerk in Erlanger's bank. A Now York letter-writer, who ought to be well posted, says that Mr. Auguste Belmont did net mani? fest tho slightest interest in the late Presidential election, not even takiug the Iroublo to vote. Tho samo in? difference was shown by the rest, of the Central Committee, with but few exceptions. There was a screw loose in bond-holding machinery. The keeper of '.be City Hull re? ceives for his sulary &5,7O0 per an? num. The Governor of the State of New York receives for his salary Si,OOO per annum. In view of tho slight difference between the two dis? tinguished officials, wo think the keeper of the City Hall has the best of it.-New York Commercial. Some Englishmen in Dresden re? fuse to read the prayer for the Presi? dent of the United States in tho Epis? copal Ohureh there, and the London Times gives them a sound scolding for their boorishness. The Southern penitentiary of Indi? ana has over 400 con viola, whose labor supports the institution, and the ap? propriation bj the State has not been touched. SPECIAL NOTICES. U.VU1VAL.L.E1J.-Nothing tbat baa ever been known or heard of aa a Ionic adds BO much to thc resistant power of tho human system, under circnniRtances unfavorable to health, aa H08TETTERS STOMACH BITTERS. If yon wouldr scapo the inter? mittent fevers, fits of indigestion, bilious attacks and bowcl-complaintR, of which cold and damp aro tho frequent causes, uso tho BITTERS aa a PROTECTIVE MEDICINE. This is tho wisest course; hut, if already an invalid, try the prepara? tion as a RESTORATIVE. In cither case full reliance may be placed upon its effi? cacy. There is no mystory about thc causes of its SUCCOSB. It is tho only stomachic and alterative in which aro combined the grand requisites of a mild, puro and unvitiated vegetable stimulant, with tho finest selec? tion of tonic, anti-billions, anti-scorbutio, aperient and depurativo herbs, plants, roots and barks that havo over been inter? mixed in a medicinal preparation. Tho Bitters havo this distinctive quality, which is not shared, it is behoved, by any tonic, tincture or extract in tho world: It docs not excito tho pulse, though it infuses a wonderful degree of vigor into tho ner? vous system, and strengthens and sustains tho whole physical organization. California and Australia havo emphati? cally endorsed it as tho MINER'S MEDI? CINE par excellence, and in Spanish Ame? rica and all the tropical climates, it is considered tho only reliable antidote to epidemic fevers. Tho already immense and still increas? ing consumption of HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS, backed by many of tho most influential physicians throughout the country, should convince the most skeptical that it ?B worthy tho confidence and approbation of all.
