Trouble Beginning.
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.

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.

REV. Dr. Cumming, of London, anya: "Thc assurance of life is ono of the moa*
Christian things that I know, for what ia it V It ia taking tho load that wonk!
CRUSH ONE FAMILY and spreading it over twenty thousand families; 80 that a
I mero drop lights upon each, instead of tho overwhelming torrent falling upou one;
It cf ems to mc a beautiful illustration of bearing ono another's burdens. And;,
therefore, let every young man entering upon life, every head ol' a family, whether,
high or low, aet his b'ouso in order BO far aa to assure his life."
Thousands of widows and orphans live to attest tho divine beneficence of LIFE
