Ettttoay ktoralJUt, November 17.187%. , Vhi Fatar? Policy of the Ad minis' ra Tha administration of the Govern? ment ol the United States has become one of the largest and most controlling intereeta of the country. It has grown to bo a business, giving profitable em? ployment and easy berths to thousands upon thousands of office-holders and at taohees. It wields a vast moneyed power, and immense official patronage, which have subsidized its legions of followers, and made them its ready and industrious tools. Upon it havu beaome fixed, and well nigh immovable, innumerable bar. naolea of abase. Plundering schemes and. parasitical interests, countless aa sands opon the sea-shore, are engrafted upon it and its every branch. Consider? ing these radioal changes in the Govern? ment itself, and in their relations to it, it is matter of momentous concern to the people of the Sooth, what policy the Government will be likely to parane to? ward it daring the second term of Gen. Grant?whioh question may be consi? dered aa mainly included in another, vis: What is the Administration likely to consider its interest iu the manage? mentof the South? We know that it has been in the immediate past an in? strument of misrule and oppression, of thick and thin support of thieving car? pet-hag governments, and of the adroit massing of 800,000 black voters in one dirk, unthinking nnd unscrupulous body of its supporters. What is it likely to be with its new lease of power? Its oracles are not dumb upou this point. The New Yoik Times, which enjoys the. honor of beiog an "organ," ' gives us a tuna to the effoob that lawless ' ness. from whatever source, will no longer be protected at Washington, nor will there be any meddlesome interfer? ence with the affairs of the South, whioh Mast, by peaceable means and by its own exertions, workout its own salva? tion. ?Tbis happy prospect it attributes to the coarse of Southern men in the late canvass, who showed themselves de? termined to make friends conclusively with the mass of the Northern people, by abandoning all idea of getting con? trol of the National Government, and accepting loyally the national candidate fox the Presidency. Like a true flankey, it says that this considerate action of theirs has earned them the "right to be heard at Washington." The South now being in perfect accord with the loyal sentiment of the people North, is on the uE?hu x??u it> proaperity. This broad road is no doubt the highway to office od the part of those "loyal" subjects. Another "organ," the Baltimore Ame? rican, comes up late to the approval of the essential idea of the Cincinnati movement, "as salutary to the boiug of free institutions." This is stealing-our thunder, and nothing less than fiat bur QiSry. It paradoxically tZtainiai?s that this movement has succeeded in its prin? ciples by the dircot failure of its candi? dates. The Cincinnati principle accom? plished suooesa by crushing those who originated it and carried its banners. This organ, too, finds in the co-opera? tion of so many Southern States in the defeat of the coalition, "a just claim to participation in the conduct of publio , affairs." Its views, like those of its brother flunkey, the Times, only ehow a desire of introducing the "loyal" ele? ment of the South into office, as a re? ward for its services and its alacrity in eating humble pie. What the New York World thinks, wo hardly know. Having reluctantly und with daily grumbling carried Mr. Grec ley, like another old man of the sea, for the last six mouths, upon its nching ' back,, it is now mainly occupied with abasing him for bestriding it so lung, and to so little purpose. It cannot for? give him for tho misfortune of not run? ning well. The Herald, whioh olaiuis a monopoly of iadependence, and which shows it by patronizing first one aud theu another party or principle, and advocating first i ' this and then that candidate, has a really j valuable and suggestive article upon the j future policy of Gen. Grant. Ho tickles him upon his magnificent victory at the polls, as justifying him in striking off tho . trammels of party iu his futare policy of government, and settling the "Southern question on a broad, gonerous basis of constitutional freedom for evory State in the Union, leaving tho negro problem, j like every other, to be aolvod by local i laws and local interests." Let us hope that where there is so mach smoko there may be some fire. We give, in another place, the last | ' views and the last advioo of Mr. Grec- , ley, copied from the New York Tribune, I headed "Abiding the Issue." It is ho good, and we are so desirous that tho much-needed union of black voters with white, here, may yet purify oar State Government ?od bring ns peace, aa thought to bo oltimatcij feeftib!? by -Mr. Greeley, that we aeoopt the view- but more from hopo than b^jSriotioc.-'' Yot wiU we work to nave jft fulfilled. . The Administration will do well.to regard the sage-liko and generous utterances of Mr. Greeley, and "pour oil npon the wounds of the South" from a consciousness of its strength, and from an enlightened aouao of its Interests, if not from'higher considerations.. . Lot it learn that the real spirit of union amongst us can'only bo produced by adequate protection, when needed, of eaohoitizoniu his law fui pursuits; and only by amity und good will shown to as can a correspouding re? sponsive sentiment be evoked in return. Protection and patriotism are reciprocal, and kind feeling and confidence in those who maintain their integrity and uphold their proper manhood, can only come forth in answer to kindness and confl denoe shown, and justice and right so cured to them, by the Government under whioh it is their destiny to live. Bitterness Cannot Last Fobeveb.? The bitterness of the late contest has taught the country a lesson. We think, in the future, we shall have less crimina? tion and vilification. Wo hope those people at the North who have given too easy credence to the blood-and-tbunder diatribes of their orators respecting the South, will see in the noble bearing of our people, ander contumely and defeat, something hotter than they have been taught to believe concerning us. One thing we feel assured of. The bitter feelings engendered iu tho reoont cam? paign will leaye_too sore a memory for tho same things to occur again Boon. And wo are disposed to think that the acrimony that has marked our political canvasses generally in the past will uot oharaoterize the contests of the future. Trouble among tho oolored brothers iu a scramble for a place in Grant'* Cabinet is already brewing. A statement having been made that Frederick Douglass is urging the appointment of John M. Langston to a position in the Cabinet as Attorney-General, Douglass states he is neither urging tho appointment of Mr. Langston nor anybody else for any posi? tion; neither is he in search of office for himself. Langstou pronounces Doug? lass a very considerable humbug, and at the tail end of the controversy tho Ad? ministration steps in and intimates that neither Langston nor Douglass is about to receive a Cabinet or any other posi? tion. -1 4 ? ??

A Paternaii Government at Last.? In conversation with your correspond? ent to-day, Secretary Boutwell said that the failure of tho Wall stroet speculators to produce a panic yesterday, was un? doubtedly duo to tho action of the Treasury Department, a few weeks since, in using its power in regard to legal tender reserves. "Tboro must bo a check on Wall street somewhere," said Mr. Boutwell, "or else it will control tbo Government. The fact that I held power to uso the legal-tender reserves fund discouraged those speculators who wanted to create a panic and encouraged those persons to act who were afraid of a panic."

It is hard that men should be bidden to stop grumbling and go to work, whon their earnings must te snatched away and devoured by such daughters of the horse-leech in impose taxes on the long-suffering people of the States abovo-nnm-d. But what else? Tho Smith must live; and she cannot live ou sterile ugitution She has appealed for a kindlier usage, and it has been flatly denied her. Now, we are well assured that the chief victors iu our lato struggle are iuc'.iuod to cor? rect abuses aud satisfy just complaints to the exteut of their power. We urge the just overborno whites of the South to meet every kindly overturo with cordi jality and trust. "Let ns hnvo peace" is a cuckoo song; but lot uu try to have it, nevertheless. It wero idle to proioug a contest when hope has utterly lied. If tbe gentlemen of the Sjtitb would give moro heed to tho education of their poor neighbors, especially tho blacks ? would treut them from this hour us fel 1 w citizens, having like interests ui.d duties with themselves?it would not hu possiblo to keep the ignorant voting for pluuderere aud peculators uvcrmore. The gentlemen of tho South may yet go to the polls and tiud their hold-bauds aud cottage tenants voting with, not against them. This is u work of time; where? fore, it cannot bo begun too soon. Tho idle, tho dissolute, are not untenable to the iuflttenue uf association with tbo bet? ter classes; they choose other comrades, other oonvernation. But eveu in South Carolina, we must hope that there ore blacks who do not ohoose to be taxed us even they must now be, when, by con? ferring aud action with whites, whom they know aud respect, they may sweep away their robbers into an oblivion of all but their iufumy. The lato can ras bus enlightened tho North with regard to Southern local rule, its causes und its perils. No oue longer pretends that things are us they should bout tho South, oven iu States like South Carolina, where Republican rulo meets no serious opposition. It is quite generally understood that uni? versal suffrage is not ull that is required; there must be a hearty accord between tbe educated and the better class of manual laborers. Where these voto with the roughs and plunderers, from appre? hension of wrong from tbe geullumeu aud laud-holders, tho present is hopeless. Wo have said that tbo renewed Admi? nistration must bo impelled by its very strength, if by no higher consideration, to pour oil upon tho wounds of tin South, it has n > longer any need of Moses or Clayton or Spoccer; it has only to hint what these must do, and it will he done. Wo shall be sorely disappoint? ed if (Jen. Grant does not soon, in his j owu way, let it be known at the South that thieves may no lougor hope for im? munity from just retribution, by shout? ing themselves bourse in his pruise und stigmatizing those opposed to them us rebels.

Forrest, of Tennessee, publishes a card in the Memphis Appeal in answer to cer? tain charges reported to have been made ugainst bim during the lute campaign by General Hammond, of Missouri. The substance of the churges made by Gen. Hammond is that the gigantic public robberies iu reconstructed Alabama, which have been notoriously the work of tho Radical rulers of that State, are equally chargeable to tho Democrats, and thut General Forrest, us President of I he Alabama aud Chattanooga Rail? road, hud protiled by them. General Forrest knocks the bottom out of those allegations by showing that ho never was (.'resident of that railroad, and by other and equally conclusive unsworn, and thou goes .or the redoubtable General beyond the Mississippi in the following style: This is not the first time i have been person ally traduced by persons who bear tbo title of Federal officers, und ou a former OOtiusiou 1 have bruuded such charges iu such terms (if there had been proper military courugu to buck up uu insult) an afforded ample opportunity to my assailants.

N 17 f3Jl A Cuniocs Will Casx?Metempsy? chosis.?Tho surrogate of New York has given a decision of considerable in terest upon a curious will admitted to probate iu that city, not, as generally supposed, merely for tbo disposition of tho persouul estate, hut embracing the realty. Louis Bounard, a nutive of France, died in the city of New York two years ago. lie left bis property, amounting to $301), 000, to tho Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani? mals. Honnard was a believer in me? tempsychosis, that is, that the soul after denth inhabited some inferior animal, and not recogniziug any necessity for a change of locality, he thought that the j probability was that his spirit would outer into the body of a street oar or Broadway omnibus horse. Under these circumstances, he desired to provide for his own comfort. Iiis relatives were of ! ii differeut religions belief, and contested j tho will, on the ground that Bonnard was uot of sound mind, as evidenced by the legacy. The surrogate held that the entertainment of this ancient aud cari? ous faith did not destroy tho testator's "Bound and disposing mind and memo? ry." Tho surrogate fortified his posi? tion by tho fact that tho ancient philoso? phers Plato, Pythagoras and other sages of tho East held tho same opinion as Mr. Bononrd. Any other decision wonld have opened the field very wide for rela? tives to contest wills. Any religious opinion differing from the opinions of tho hcirs-at law might be made the plea for setting aside the bequests of a tes? tator, and tho courts would be compelled to decide upon what was the true and rational belief on a subject upon which so many differ. SouTn Carolina Aids tue Boston Sufferers.?The Welsh Neck Baptist Association, whioh was iu session at Darlington at tho time of tbe Boston conflagration, received tho tidings of the groat calamity with tho warmest expres? sion of sorrow and sympathy.
