Times insists that tho Southern States
atc is s condition ci snatchy, which
pan only be relieved by the application
ol "General Grant's imperial ideas in the j
shape o? a nov? "Foroo Bill;'' but it has
a plentiful lock of facts to sustain its
allegations. Indeed, there is snob
weight of ' t?atimony against the state
meut made by our ootemporary that we
aro driven to the belief that its conclu?
sions are based on the necessities of its
party, and not on any 'rac!? known to the
co nu try. In plain Euglish, the Times
wants an election bill, aud seizes on the
transparent fictions invented by notori?
ous adventurers to inflamo the public
wiud of the North to that pitch of blind
passion which will tolerate a law handing
the Southern vote over to General Grant.
' This is its'object, and in its pursuit it is
guilty pf. the suggcstio falsi, the suppressio
- vert, and-Mr. - Greeley alone could
finish the impeachment with becoming
vigor. Themost trivial disorder at the
. South is seized upon as proof as true OB
. .Holy .Writ to show that a. new "rebel
- lion"- has broken out, and our treasona
"i!'"ble:temper is Bn'uffed in. every grain of
f '?gfi&poyt??r burnt in the disreputable
, , brawl?,-.from"which we are not entirely
exempt. But thc limes never calla out
. for the suppression of the Ku Klux at
the North. It says nothing of the Grand
. . Army of the Republic, a secret military
league. -It forgets how it intimated that
' vigilance ocQjujittees would become ne?
cessary in New York, and gives us in its
. impression of the 3d n tragio history
ff?2r Sfevada, Bhowing how tho Ku Klux
of Virginia City hanged a man, without
. one wort) about extending tho paternal
firm oi the best government under the
j ann over citizens in that region. The
... limes ?tanda before the country in the
' ''' attitude- of an unfair advocate in a bad
cans?, and damages its own reputation
; without gaining: the end it has in view.
The people of tho North have heard so
. ?j j mpoli j$t utt\ia silly tolk^that they are
now able' to appreciate it at its true
value.
- , Senator Morton, of Indiana, having
- been serenaded in Washington upon a
' recent ocqaaion, repeated, with additions,
?i , hie arraignment of the Democratic party.
He insista .upon it that the issues in 1872
- will turn upon tho question of suffrage
. ' ' and oivil rights to the colored people,
and of protection to "Republicans" in
the South and kindred points. He thus
constructs a platform for his political
opponents, and places them, doubtless,
just'whero ho would prefer to see them
; ; - stand. ; Wo take,lt that the Democratic
?. party will construct its own platform.
Nor is it likely that Senator Morton &
: h Ob. will be gratified by having "the
meat and drink" upon which they have
eo long fed, duly peasoned and provided
for them by the Demooratio party. Se?
nator Morl?n seems indisposed to censo
. his warfare upon the South. For party
.ends, he does not hesitate to misjudge
and misrepresent this section. Wo beg
'.^jj?leave- to commend to him the higher
statesmanship and larger charity of a
m . member of the House from his State.
-.; ? in his remarks mudo against the force
* bill, the Hon. M. C. Kerr, of Indiaua,
suggesting the true remedy for the evils
which afflict the Southern States, said:
j V?t would b? . infinitely bettor, Bafer
' and wiser to keep within tho Constitu?
tion, to recognize the rights of the
. - States, to proteot them in their enforce?
ment and enjoyment, when summoned
so to do under existing laws. Give them
; - book tho. utmost freedom of local self
' government, of which you have so long
. : and unjustly deprived them; remove
from thom all disabilities, and thus in?
vito them to assume again all the rights,
'capacities and responsibilities of free

vernments in the persons of their best

. <v. inbt givo the legal, moral. or partisan

' ?> plu udor er3 and oppressors who have so

. .may.hope for speedy restoration of law,
i. order, peace, real- and enduring, in the
South. Then good men will be encou?
raged, the hand.of,loyalty and virtue
.. strengthened, and happiness and mate

... Aa oar roadora hore already been , in?
formed, a move rn ont of, liberal Republi?
cansi has been started in Ohio, with the
view of opposing extremo Radicalism.
Ex-Secretary Cox is one of .the leaders.
Cn the occasion of a recent meeting in
Ohio, this gentleman thus responded:
"The speaker dwelt at eomo length
upon the question of omuesty, and ex?
pressed himself in strong terms in favor
of - the removal of the? political disabili?
ties of the South. He thought all ani?
mosities of the past, and all causos that
tended to revive them, should be buried
in oblivion and bb forever forgotten.
He said he believed au army of 100,000
soldiers could not restore peace or quiet
at the South os long os meosuies were
agitated ia Congress, and discussed by
tho press, which wore calculated to irri?
tate them, and make them discontented
and restless, or cause them to feel any
inferiority of privileges, or under re?
straints and surveillance. The speaker
was thoroughly oonviuced that it was im
Sossible to save the colored people in tho
outh exoept by in some wuy rousing a
considerable fraction of thc whito popu?
lation of intelligence to assist ia tho
work, and they oould not bo forced to do
it. He knew that he expressed tho opi?
nion of many men iu the Republican
party when ho said Ibis. It was desir?
able that tho people of tho South should
feel an equal responsibility with the peo?
ple of the North in regard to the colored
race. In regard to the question of a
protective tariff, ho believed that there
had beeu no specific policy hitherto.
The principles regulating it were alluded
to in a general mannor, and tho vurious
concessions which one interest was
obliged to make tu another interest iu
the matter of duties on foreign imports.
The speaker had no plan propared, but
expressed the opinion thnt some definite
system should be adopted and carried
out. In regard to the financial question,
no line of polioy was indicated, except
as speedy a return to specie payment as
circumstances would admit. A plan
should be formed indicating the day and
hoar when specie payment would be re?
sumed. But, ander the most favorable
circumstance, this could not huppen for
many years. This, with various other
questions, had been postponed until re?
construction was fully accomplished."
Already Spaia's aew King finds his do?
main inconvenient. Robust as is his
constitution, tho climate of Madrid is a
severe trial to his health; so much has
he already suiTerod ia the brief period of
bib sojourn at his new capital that the
royal physicians reoommeud a residence
at Malaga. Spanish Republicans signifi
oantly say that if Amadeus really desires
to become aa old maa he must retura to
his native Italy and stay there. Viewing
the Spanish situation from this distance,
one is forced to the belief that a fear of
assassination, more than the rigors of
the latitude of Madrid and the Escorial,
induce the departure of Amadeus from
his dangerous realm.

Tho Golden Age contains the following
remarkable statement: Swinburne vi?
brates between tho inspirations of wine
and the exasperations of madness, and
between fear and, disgust at his conduct,
people are forced to oxclude bim from
their bouses. A sip of wine brings on
the craze whiah goads him into behavior
setting at naught all decency. What
can be done with an illustrious young
poet who, invited to your reception,
makes such havoc with the proprieties as
to reach across the room with open jaws
to bite the baro neok of a handsome
I young lady, whose beauty has attracted
his gaze; or who turns from the person
with whom he happens to be conversing
to butt his head furiously against the
wall?
SQUASHES vs. CXMBLINS.-Judgo Reeve
was a tutor in Princeton College prior to
the war of the Revolution. Ho often
entertained his law students with nn ac?
count of his efforts while tutor to desig?
nate, iu a conversation of half an hour
with each student as they would arrive
from the provinces, in which portion of
the country they resided, by reason of
the provincialisms they used. Ho en?
countered greater difficulty with Mr.
Madison than any other, as he spoke
such pure Saxon. At last, Reeve said:
"I presume, sir, you raise squashes in
your province?" "I presume," said
Mr. Madison, "you meau oymblins."
"Then," says Reeve, "you aro from Vir?
ginia."
There is some talk of putting the
Great Eastern steamship on the passen?
ger route between New York and Liver?
pool this summer, with the feature of a
cheap passage to Europe to attract cus?
tom. The fare, it is said, will be twenty
five dollars. Tho Great Eastorn has
passenger accommodations for fully 2,000
people, and, with the immeuse patronage
that it would doubtless draw, together
with tho freight list, there is uo reason
to doubt the success of the enterprise.
The opportnnity to visit Europe, evon by
persons of very limited means, would be
the inducement that would make many
avail themselves of the chance thins af?
forded to take a whiff of foreign air.

wherein the last fire occurred, was the
only one on that entire block which es?
caped destruction in the terrible -fire of
