He said the troubles, difficul? ties and perils of the natiun were in? creasing. The Bepublicans, while strug- 1 gling to establish the republic, were united; but after they had achieved a victory, they were divided, because an ideal nlways exists. The present Go- , vernmont represents a solid reality, and i the opposition represents an ideal. He ?brilliantly traced the history of Demo- i cracy, and declared that* the death of i bh? republio would be the sign of the death of liberty, and that the generation would be infamous which achieved its liberty and failed to preserve it. "I am a Federalist," he said; "but madness rends the Spauish nationality, while : Italy and Germany are becoming more united." He reviewed the republio life of M.

Washington, August 26.?Several of the leading lights belonging to the co? lored element of the Radical party here have, in imitation of the colored people in Ohio, come to the conclusion that to carry out completely the principles of their party it is necessary that they shall cut themselves entirely aloof from their white brethren and put none but Africans on guard. The determination to inaugurate a black man's party onuses a very disagreeable sensation in the. Radical party, and is destined to muke a very serious split, as it will not confine itself to-a local character, but is certain to spread through the States.

The Co?oh?A "Model" Newspapeb. ?There is a ?'model" newspaper called The Coach, pabliahed in Central City, Colorado, for a late copy of which wo are iodubtod to our friend, '"Paul Pry." j In the number before us, we Mud the following "principles* of the editor, "warniug" and resolutions: Our Principles.? The Coach has neither politics nor religion. The driver will craok his whip over whoever he pleases. The Coach has ueither money nor crodrt, aud doesn't need any. We have no list of exchanges, and don't expect any. If any one says any? thing mean about us, we desire a copy. If anything good, thoy cm keep it to themselves. Gar stock of modesty is barely suf? ficient for our own use. Wo have none to sell, and don't know any one in these parts that wants to buy any. Warning.?The writing editor of tho Coach carries his office in his hat, aud will always be found at home. The fighting editor ha?, gone on tho dock*, hut the Cardiff Giaut takes his place, and will be around every Satur? day evening, to settle all difficulties. The financial editor who went to Vienna has resigned. 13. Erlanger will settle the bills of all those who can find him. Resolutions.?Resolved, That quota? tion marks arc a nuisance.

Carpet-bag State Deuts ?It is & healthy sign that the press of the North is beginuiug to recognize aud pnyclaim the fact that something must be dune about the huge debts which have been saddled upon th: Southern State." by the carpet-bag governments which were created and sustained by the Federal authority as its chosen instruments of reconstruction. Tho views of several leading journals on this subject, which we reproduce elsewhere, are full of inte? rest for onr people. Tho articio from the New York Times, on the proposi? tion that the General Government should help out tho South by shoulder? ing her debts, is especially note-worthy, and reads very much like a "feeler." It is certainly a new thing to hear the Timm discussing measures of mercy aud moderatson towards the "Southern re? bels" iu any other tone than that of the bitterest denunciation. Iu spite of the objections of tho Times, there is an in? trinsic equity in the proposed scheme. The great bulk of the oarpet-bag debts were never authorized by the Southeru people, iu whoso name they were con? tracted. They are debts for which no equivalent consideration has ever been received. If paid at ull, they ought to be paid by the principal from whom the agents who contracted them derived their authority. That principal is noue other tbau "the beet Government the world ever saw."?Charleston Newa. The Paris Figaro is a lively aud funny paper, but it ofteu publishes American news, of which eveu "the natives to the manuor born" were not aware. Some time since it related a story, said to have beuu taken from the Journal of Vermont, about a baud of assassins which infested the State of New Hampshire, and which was guilty of numerous crimes.- Mauy dead bodies were found lying around loose, and all had the same mark?the seotion of the carotid artery. Once thc police came suddenly upon the band, but the members hastily fled and rau through the town, passing a photo? graphic gallery at full speed. The pho? tographer had n streak of genius. Ho at ouce turned his machine npou the dying baud, aud ha I nil of their por? traits in a twinkling. When these were enlarged, tho assasaius were recognized as inhabitants of the district, aud all were quietly arrested the next morning. The Figaro has previously published some marvelous and amusing American stories. Ono of these is about a mil? lionaire, who packed his dead father in a pork barrel in order to send him home as freight, und save the price of passage demanded for a corpse. We, of course, do not doubt the veracity \>i our sprightly contemporary oi the French capital. Alligator Supplies.?Alligators fre? quently fill their stomachs with ducks. They find tho spots iu tho marshes where the ducks huddle together at night, aud make a descent upon them. Frequently, while docks of groat fat ducks arc swimming in the deepest part |of n river or lake, an alligator will glide under the docks aud select those that suit him best. They arc drawn under the water so quietly that the flock is nut startled for some time, aud tho alligatur ; manages to secure a square meal before ho is suspected. On summer nights, the alligator crawls to a chosen spot in . tho marshes. The air is filled with mil I lions of mosquitoes. Tho monster opens his enormous mouth and keeps his jaws {apart until the iusido of uis mouth is i black with insect--.

He says, apropos of Gouet and bis mission: The President was do longer spared, either in prose or verse, and there was even a burlesque poem, in which ho was represented as boing brought to the guillotine. At one of these Cabinet meetings, irritated by Knox reminding him of this pasquinade, he lost his self control for a moment. Voltaire wick? edly remarks that Newton "consoled" mankind for his nnapproachable supre? macy in the realm of science by coming at last 4o write on the prophecies. George Washington occasionally solaced the self-love of his admiriug frionds by get? ting into a good, honest passion, like an ordinary mortal. Bursting into speech,, he defied any man to produce a single act of his since he had been in the Go? vernment which was not done from the purest motives. He declared thut he had never repented bat onco of having s'..pped the moment of resigning his office, and that was every moment since. "By G?d!" be exclaimed, using the familiar oath of the period, "I would rather be in my grave than in my pre? sent situation I I would rather be on my farm than be made Emperor of the world; and yet they are charging me with wanting to be ? King!" Struck His Kex-Note ?The other day, a gawky youth from tho rural dis? tricts stopped at u button-and-thread stand on Fifth street to view tho won? ders there exposed for sale, aud became interested iu a mouth-organ. It was not a "Jaws' harp," although au Israel? ite was the vendor thereof, but a fifteen ceut harmonicoii. "Verdigris" placed it almost out of sight in his old-fashion? ed fire-place of a mouth, and breathed his soul out sweetly there. His eyes were almost closed, his head drooped'to one Ride, his whole appearance showed he had surrendered to the power of music. How long ho would have conti? nued no man can say?prooably until huuger or night had driven him to seek food or shelter; but the cruel turner of nimbie pennies cut short hi* dream by a demand for pay for his instrument. "Verdi" laid git clown with a longing, lingering look, as though he thought, "Can such things be aud overcome us like a summer dream." and hied him? t. c , he progressed in his cowhides on his way. There was a sool attuned to harmony in that chap. If any blaute citizen wauts to enjoy a first class sensa? tion, let him borrow that fellow for an evening and take him to tho opera or a graud concert. "His eyes would stick out beyond the lobster gauge, and | doubtless could be removed without re- j calling him from the charmed realm of harmonious sounds. The Japanese youths who have gone to learn the customs and languages of foreign natious, are iu great danger of forgetting their own. An instance is recorded in Yokohama, where a Japan? ese who left his native country about eleven years ago, was examined by the French professors of thoKal Sei Gakko, and though they pronounced his conver? sational powers and pronunciation better than any pupil in the college, he was unable to answer questions in the vari? ous branches of study, such as are com? mon-place in the lowest class. Tho young man hud utterly forgotten his own language. The young man's pros? pects as a Japanese aro not very bril? liant. He cannot even become au inter preter, but must sit down to learn Ja? panese as a new language. Siuce the last Presidential election, not a day has passed, not au eveut has occurred, not a Credit Mobilier scandal has arisen, cot a third term image has been projected, uothiug has taken place iu our civil a flairs which has not con? firmed us iu our vital faith that the Liberal movement of 1S72, with Horace Greeley at its head, will go into history as the most beneficent incident of Ame? rican politics since the abolition of American slavery. ?
