The klii evil or hereditary jrout can b3 easier
cured tbamlie linprueticttblc theories and liete
8(c9 of an old Southern polit cum of the seces
sion school. To use uu ol'tcn repeated but per
iectlj applicable simile, tacy arc like tho old
BourbotB they revcr loract or learn anything.
Wehaehad eeveral striking examples of this
lulely.
Wado Hampton delivered a 5pecrh in South
Carolina a few davs ago which is very much the
game m tone ncd sentiment as tboic uttered
juht previous to the war. He mill holds to ttie
npht of secession and makes murtyrs oT those
who pluneea the coumrj ltito the tnont tornble
civil war on rcoid. We mmtit not notice th. fe
exj.loutn lallicies if the evil results ol noliliuir

timet cally the worst enemies of tho South.
Another of this old State rients soce-slou
kcIiooI. Mr Humpnre.vs, the Governor of Missis
si pp , m a message to the Lt-gfelnture lakes very
decided e round acrt in-.t the forthwith regard
to the l onstiiutionalameudnieiit. He tolla the
Legislature that he treuni09 tho mere reailii.ir
of that amenoment will be sullicient to cause us
rejection. This attempt to forestall and in
fluence the action of thut body deserves the se
verest condemnation. It is a wicked attempt
to array toe people of Mississippi against the
sentiment ol the Norm ai?ainst those who have
absolute power over the destiny of the South.
But h conduct is reckless and suicidal In the ex
treme. The same fool'sh, end destructive course Is
fiurued b. other prominent SouHi'ruors ot
hat class, and by the rema ns of the stup d tire
cat ids' press. We see tho old leaven at work in
the It'cnmc nrt papers, and now and then in
those of Nashville and Memphis. Tennessee; of
Kew Orleaus, Mob le, and of other sections ot
the South. Sou ih Carolina, which was the most
extreme secession 8iate, is no i more moderate
than any of the others, notwithstanding tuo in
flammatory harangued ot a lew such men as
Wade Hampton.
These old politicians and editors seem to forget
that there has been a tremendous revolution,
aud that they are a conquered people, entirely
at the meicy ol their conquerors. Hair split
ting quibbles and arguments about political
rights are all out of place. Tho right of the
stiongest is the only risrht that governs in tueir
case. Nominally they are in the Union, but
practically Congress has excluded them irom
being united politically with the N3rth, and It
has (he power to exclude them indetinitoly If
the people sustain its action. It is no use to
app' al to the Constitution, to the law, to the
terms of sarreuder, to the pardoning power ot
the President, to their reconstruction under the
aot on oi (the Executive, or to auything else
against this fart. Tney cannot be lully restored
till Congress thinks proper to restore them.
Why. then, resist ? Why destroy themselves by
a hopeless contiict with a body that has their
destiny in its bauds? ,
There was but oue other power left to which
they could apical on the question of imme
diate testoration without further condition", or
restoration with the conditions of Congress,
and that was tho people of the North. The
appeal has been made, and the elections show
beoud nil doubt that public sentiment has
decided that they can only come back to their
original political status tbrou.h one condition
the Constitutional amendment, as laid do.vn
by Coneress. That is the sum and end Oi the
Vi liolo argument.
tut some may say, Let us wait; there may
be a change ot public opinion, aud a Congress
may be elected more tavoiablo to us. This is
very dangerous ground to stand upon. The
longer they are kept out the more chronic
tlier case becomes and the more difficult to
treat. The politicians of tho North, or even
the people, might find out that they could
govern aim keep the South in subjection, and
hold all the political power of the republic
without admitting that section at all, or lor a
long tiino to come. We do not think that this
or any luutre Congrecs is liitely to offer the
Southerners more favorable terms than are now
otlertd in the Constitutional amendment, and
the chauces are that if these be rejected mure
disagreeable ones will be required.
Orta n bboit-si&htcd and impracticable men
say, "Well, let us remain out it we caunoi, get
in without accepting these conditions." What,
we a-k, will you saeridee your interests, keep
yourselves in a state of political slavery, aud
peihnp ruin your magniticcut country, through
lule piide and holding to an uuteuable theory
ot liglnwlneb does not practically exist? We
cnniiot believe the mass of the Southern peoole
will take such a ruinous position. They had
better throw oveiiioard the Jonahs their old
political leader?, who have done so much mU
chtel already, and save themselves and their
country.
ThLb is the question of the time for the South.
If we mistake not, It is going to create great
amtation aud new parties there. The old lea iqrs
oi the bece'bion bin in p, such as Wade Hampton
and Humphreys, who are excluded, for a time
at least, from pol.tical privileges by the Consti
tutional amendment, will oppose its adoption
with all their liTTtht. A large portion of the
seusiblo and conservative people will see that
tuvir interests do not lie in sucu a course. The
coming coullict in the South will be between
these parties, and U may become a very sharp
one. lu that case political excitement on the
question will bo trauslerrcd lrom the North to
tue youth.
lHtt whatever the extreme Southern States
may do, the Constitutional amendment will
surely be accepted by a sullicient numoer of all
the States. Ttiey cannot prevent it. We advise
them, therelore, it even the conditions the
amendment imposes be unpalatable, to make
virtue of necessity and accept it at once, (let

From tin 'limti.
Tne BoHton Daily Adeertiser, commenting on
Mr. Beecher'b recent political action, says:
"When Mr. Beecher's Cleveland letter . ap
? cared, it was understood by its general tenor
hat the writer opposed Conirress'and desired to
ne enrolled among the mends of the rre
sident. Then came the letter to Plymouth
Church, and here Mr. Heecher exnresslv de
clared that he occupied a position midway
between the President and Congress, that be
would not become a partisan, and that he would
adhere to his opinions. On Monday evening
Mr. Bcecher delivered an elaborate address at
the Brooklyn Academy of Music, betore a larse
assembly of bis fellow-citizens, and heie he ad
ocatedhe principles of the Republican party
so plainly aud emphatically that he received the
hearty endorsement ot even the editor ot the
jnaepettoeia, who spoKe alter him."
And the World appends the characteristic argu
went, "Here is Mr. Bcecher occupying three
diuereui positions in as many weeks. This is a
fair illustration of the stylo of criticism annlied
nowadays by political Journalists to public men.

All this it inexpressibly narrow and Intolerant,
nrd when applied to such a man as Mr. Deecher
it Is uiBultinu' and afopant. Mr. Heecher is
nmte a capable of formina an opin on on politi
cal topics, wor.hv ot respect, as the pro'hop
politicians who ortrani.e party movements and

The Silce of Vm-lcty.
From the Tribune.
Mr. Johnson's opinions are wanted in Massa
chusetts upon several novel topics. He has a
kind of party In that State with no great vitality
to spare, made up mostly of the politically lame,
ha't,and blind, with a sprinkling of galvanized
ghosts. Although Its chances of success may
be fau-ly stated at nothing at all, and perhaps
even a little lower, it u going through the mo
tions of a campaign with. Indomitable gravity,
convening, nominating, and ad Ircssing as if the
whole thin" bad in it an element of reality, hnd
were not the sheerest bit of Quixotry in the
world. It does not rise to the cheerfulness of a
forlorn hope; it has only tho convulsive activity
of despair, and Is th.is wi dly putting into its
programme not, indeed, the beauty oi a vegeta
ble diet, or the verity or the spintual-iappiugs,
or the non-ccntaio. is character ot ciolura, but
st.ll lieius ol a nk'- incongruous and surprising
character. It evidently shrinks bold as it u,
from going to the people of Massachusetts upon
national issues, lor that wo.ild be to invoke
upon its own head sentence ol death without
hve minutes' reprieve.
So its Sstate Convention, after nominating for
Governor a Lowell lawyer who is unknonn to
lame, aud likely to remain so, solemnly indorsed
the eight-hour movement, and as solemnly re
pudiated the prohibitory liquor law I Now, we
can understand that it is Johnsonim to sjpport
the vetoes, to abuse Congrecs, and to try despe
rately to get office; but i what respect it is
Johnsonian to support an eight-hour niovaiiient,
or to oppose a prohibitory liquor la v, passes
our comprehension. Has anybody ever been
iulornjed of the President's views, if he has
any, on those scbjicts? 1)1 J bis National Con
vention either smilingly or tearfully take action
upon ihee topics? And, the mam ma'ter being
the election of members of Congress, for or
against "my policy ,'Ms it not mere clumsiness,
or may be demagogy, to lug In by tho ears ttiese
local isues to make up for wretchedly bad
nuiional politics?
There may be men In Massachusetts who are
quite willing to get to Congress to bo sworn
servants ol the White lloute, the Biipplc arid
uncomplaining instrument of tho I'lesiJent,
Ihe ready regisLers of the Kxccntive edits. This
we do not object to if they can find people
enough iu their districts who are sufficiently
foolish, or idiotic, or Dasi to vote (or them. If
they can pet elected, let them take their seats,
and pocket their pay, and obey orders, and be
ns hapDy as they can. 13ut such plaeo is bad
enough without the additional shnineof getting
into it by false pretenses. We admit that a party
may be marked by gieat poverty of principles,
and that the temptation to pick up such as may
be found lying about loosely may be too much
lor a begcarly candidate; but we Insist tht in
such cae ne should carry two wallets, and (as
atlairs are now) should not try to make, one baor
do duty both for the State and tho nation. It is
mixtDg up matters a little too promiscuously.

Silence.
From tht Tribune.
Kvdnev Smith once said of a dinner p.irty that
"il was remarkable lor several brilliant (lushes
of silence;" and In thu same way wc may athrm
that the President has illustrated his personal
annals by not making a speech. When the great
temperance procession, the other day, paid him
the honor of a marching saiuie, ne mereiy
"bowed his acknowledgments." if, upon his
late tour, be bad contentea nimsen wnn oj-

A HISTORY OF SIGNBOARD?.
Curious Rcllc-lgo of Pan Times.
A curious bjok, entitled "The History of Sitrn
boards lrom the Earliest Times to the Pres-nt
Day," by Jacob Laraood and John t'aindeo
HotHn, has just appeared In London. It showe
that sienboard history In England begins with
the time of tho Komans, that many queer thinzs
were painted on signs in former dins, and thit
there was o;tcn a display of epigrammatic wit
boiore the doors of puolic hom es and in the
lanes and by-wajs of Eiiclaiid.
j In dajs when lew could read, says an English
iouinal and when only tho most important
streets had names, while noue ot the houses iu
them were distinguished by numbers nearly
everybody set up some mark of his calling. The
tailor thowed a pair of scissors, the hitler a
stc eking, the cutler a knife, the bootmaker an
owl; the vintner put in a prominent place the
picture of a bunch of graies or a bush ot evergreens-tue
most common Roman sign for a
public home whence i derived the say Ins,
"Good wine needs no bush." other public
house siens were stnited in the Middle Aes. In
t Lose times, soy Messrs. Larood and flotten,
"tne housts ol the nobility, both in town aud
country, whtn the tarailv was absent, were ued
ns boslelrics lor travellers. The family arms
alwaS hung in Irout of the house, and the mo I
conspicuous object in those arms gave a name
to the establishment among travellers, who,
unacquainted with the mysteries ot heraldry,
called a hon gules or azure by the vernacular
name ot the Ke.' or 'Blue Lion.' Such coats-ol-arms
gradually became a ery popular inti
mation that there was 'good entertainment for
all that passes horses, mares, men, aud asses,'
aud innkeepers began to adopt them, hanuing
out red lions and green dragons as the best way
to acquaint the public that they offered food
and shelter."
As caily as 141!), when the "Liber Albus" of
Guildhall was compiled, it was a subject of com
plaint that "the ale-Btakes projecting in front of
taverns in Chepe, and elsewhere in the city ex
tended too lar over the King's highways, to the
impeding of riders aud others, and, by reason of
their excessive weight, to tho creat deteriora
tion ol tno houses in w hich they are Oxed " aud
thence'orih it was ordained that no taveruer
should have a sign "extending or lying over the
King's highway of greater leuutli than seven
leet at most." Though forbidden to have sieus
inordinately large, all innkeepers were bound by
law to put lorth some pton,inent token of tbeir
tallinp. In 193 a brewer ol Chelsea was pun
ished "for not putting up the usual Mgn;''and
the taking down of a publican's signboard was
equivalent to wiihdrawlns his license. Thus
we rcudiu "A New Way to Pay Old Debts:"'
"For this sross fault I here do damn thy llcouse.
VoruaUiiig true ever to lap or iiiaw;
For inotuutly 1 will, in mmoown person,
t omuiand tho constables to pull down thy sign."
In England, "King's Heads'' exist without
number, a great many being injhoiior of Henry
the Eighth; a great ninny others In honor, or in
mockery, ol Charles the First. John Taylor,
the water poet, set up a "Mourning Crown" at
his tavern in Longucre, with a picture ot King
Chailes' head, lint tbat was soon pulled down,
and then he set up bis o vn portrait instead, ac
companying it by this rhyme I advertisement:
