Fartlzanship. flo long es a people are left to decide what course of publlo policy their rulers should pursue, to long will parties oontioue to exist. There seems to be but two conditions whioh effeotaallj rid any oountry of these parties j namely, on the one hand, a condition of uni versal Idiocy; and, on the other, an absolute despotism. It U only natural for thirty millions of edu cated, thinking people to differ widely among them t el res as to what lines of publio polioy Should be pursued; and, honestly holding these differences, to form themselves into par ties for the purpose of promoting the success of their particular views. We think, there fore, that the lamentations whioh are so com monly made over the existence of parties are Idle, because, from our view of the oae, their existence is inevitable. If restrained within proper limits we not only see no harm in a man beooming an earnest partisan, but in truth we see much to commend in suoh a course. If we are thoroughly oonvinoed that certain views are right and proper we only act according to our manhood and convlotions in doing all in our power to make these views become general. Partisans hi j, therefore, within proper limits is praiseworthy. But we occasionally, nay, we must say fre quently, see it carried to such an excess as to disgrace all those who indulge in it. It is frequently made the ruling passion. All pa triotic love of the whole country as suoh is an eager desire to promote the public good, but reckless of the evil which may result to the com munity, a party will act only to make itsel' popular, or worse still, only to prevent its opponents becoming popular, and let the great mass of the people take care of them selves. Such a course as this, if pursued by an irresponsible and ignorant mob, would be reprehensible enough, but when it is adopted as the deliberate rule of aotion of the official representatives of a portion of the people, it beoomes criminal. We hare a striking in stance of the worst species of partisanship in the aotion of the Democratic members of Se leot and Common Councils on the water-pipe question last week. The city is in many places extremely in need of additional water sup plies. In many portions, except for a few Lours, it oannot be secured in any of the Tipper stories of the houses. Not only U the quantity needed to be increased, but the quality is frequently so vile as to be positively poisonous. At this time of year it is most emphatically necessary that the reform so long called for should be instantaneously coua menoed. With the understanding and with the unanimous recognition of the citizeus of all. olaBBes, that suoh an appropriation as Would make the needed extension would be proper, the Council agreed to come to a final vote on an additional appropriation of $2,000, 000. The last opportunity for its passage arrived, and Common Council adopted it by the necessary two-thirds. In Select Council, however, the Democrats, with the single hon orable exoeption of Colonel James Page, voted against suspending the rules, and by lacking one vote the ordinanoe full through. Nuw, what was the only declared ground for opposition to the bill which was universally recognized as neoeseary and proper for the comfort and health of the city ? We blush for the name of Americans when we are compelled to tell it. The only ground whatever for this aotion was, that the Republican party would have the distribution of the patronage; that the few hundred workmen necessary in the extension of the works, would be appointed by the Republican officials; that a few votes might thus be Influenced, or a little prestige given to their politioal opponents. For suoh reasons these men are willing to let the people of the oity be injured. Yet this is called "supporting your party," and men do not stand aghaat at the horrid enormity of this orime. We would have the representatives of the people aot only in accordance with the best interests of tbe people, or, If that oannot be, we would have them at least not saorifloe pub lio good to partisan ends when the two come in conflict. To Colonel Page should be ten dered the warmest praise and thanks of the community not for doing his duty, but for having the nerve to openly rebuke his fellow Democrats in this vicious crime. We would that suoh instances of sacrificing publio benefit to party were either few or restricted entirely to the.Demooratio party. We have had often in our city instanoes of the reckless disregard to all the laws of right in the actions of Councils There Is an old trick, and one in whioh both parties have vied with each other in exoelling in, that of lowering the tax rate in order to Secure popularity. It has frequently hap pened that when the asseuBments come to be made, the dominant party iusteai of meeting he demands of the city, aud aoting with honor, assess at an insufficient rate, and then make up the denolenoy after the eleotlon. This is paltry trickery, unworthy of publio servants, and dishonest to the people who elected them. While, therefore, we commend, as we have said, a moderate amount of parti sanship, the exoess, to which it is too often carried brings dingraoe on all who indulge in it, and injure the party and the oountry at large. The Reeky Moantains. Ts construction of the Union PaoiQo Railroad to the Rooky . Mountains has rendered that great back-bone of the oontinent accessible by a few ays' travel, and although it has not yet been popularized as a summer resort, we have little doubt that thousands of Amerloan oltl tens will visit it in suooeedlng seasons. It is s opposed that when the Paoifto Railway 1.1 com pleted passengers who leave Philadelphia after breakfast on Monday morning of any week will arrive in San Franoisoo in time to take their tea on the following Saturday, and in this Journey the Rooky Mountain! would be reaohed some time during Thursday. At present there are but few hotels ereoted for the accommodation of tourists, bat is is an nounoed that this want will soon be supplied by the Union Paoiflo Company, and in advanos of the general movement of fashionable travel westward it is significant to note the state, ment that this year the officers of the Railway Company, with their families, intend to so journ among the lofty heights of the Sierra Madre during the summer months, that General Grant and his family are about to take a trip in the same direction, as well as both the candidates for Vioe-President, Colfax and Blair, and various parties of prominent excursionists, including a number of railway officials, and the representatives of the press of the Eastern cities, whose departure was recently announoed. There is a growing admiration for the beauti ful and grand in nature, and an increasing desire to enlarge the list of convenient and interesting summer jaunts, that will find ample gratification in the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. With their northern and southern oonneotions they form the longest mountain chain on the globe, and the most majestic. The Indians formerly applied to them the poetio title of "The crest of the world," and this is not altogether a fanoiful appellation. The Andes, whioh traverse the whele length of South Amerioa, blfuroate after they cross the Isthmus of Darlen to enter this oontinent, and while one great chain closely hugs the Paoiflo coast under the name of the Sierra Nevada (or Snowy Mountains) in Mexico and California, and the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washing ton, the main chain treads eastward, and is designated below its entrance into the boun daries of this country as the Sierra Madre. There is a special significance in this Spanish title of our great mountain ohaln. Sierra is derived from serra, the Latin word for saw, and is used to indioate their serrated appear ance. When they stand out clearly and well defined against the horizon, a continuous suc cession of peaks give to them an aspect similar to the teeth of a well-worn saw of the grandest possible dimensions, as these teeth oonsist of successive elevations rising above the main ridge to a height of from twelve to fourteen or fifteen thousand feet. "Madre," meaning "mother," probably haa reference to the many rivers flowing from the sides of this great crest, which is the souroe of the mightiest streams of the earth, including the Amazon iu South Amerioa, and the Missouri, the Rio Grande, the Colorado, the Arkansas, and the Columbia, in the United States. The Rooky Mountains are the continuation of the Andes, of South America, and the Sierra Madre, of Mexico, extending far northward towards the Arctio Ocean, and forming throughout their whole length the dividing line of the waters tributary to the Atlantio and the Pacific Ooeans. The plains, which lie to the eastward, constitute an immense inollned plane, gradually leading np from the low alti nde of the basin of the Mississippi, to the base of the mountains, at an altitude of about five thousand feet, from whioh the lofty heights of tbe Sierra rises in majestio grandeur. The most aoourate descriptions and the moat beau tiful paintings can convey only a feeble reflex of the deep impression they make upon all who witness their sublimity. They combine in endless variety all the characteristics tb.it mountains can possess exoept (in the latitude of the United States), volcanoes and glaoiers, but they have, at former periols, possessed even these, and do not, at this time, lack any desirable element of picturesque beauty. Dili gent explorations have always been rewarded with the discovery of valuable mineral trea sures, and there are a great number of spe cially beautiful retreats where the variety of vegetation, and the existenoe of mineral springs will enable enterprising proprietors of watering-place establishments to concentrate an irre sistible array of attractions. One fair glanoe at the scenery of tbe Rooky Mountains will, of itself, well repay a visit, for it Infinitely ex ceeds anything that can be afforded by the contracted landscapes of the eastern portions of the continent. National Retrospection. Moralibts advise oooasional periods of earnest retrospection as one of the most salutary habits of mind, and also as an essential means of for tifying the individual against temptation aud of insuring future improvement. Such revi sion is most wholesome when undertaken with the intention of rightly appreciating the expe. rienoes of the past; weighing them with the temperate judgment of afterthought, freed from all the disturbing Influences that embar rass action and bewilder the mind in presenoe of the event, and applying the lessons derived therefrom to the experiences of the future. Providence has seemed to appoint the present time to the Amerioan people, as suoh a period of wholesome retrospection. We have been suddenly called upon to look earn estly into the very heart of the nation, and judge the principles upon which it is founded, nd by which it must aot. As in the individual a trifling fault beoomes in time a sin, so we found that lax opinions upon the struoture of the Government and the inter-relations of the States had ripened ' slowly into a orime of vast proportions aud 1 djjagtrouji eoaaeiusaoes. By the Wood ar bitrament of arms that question was settled ocoe and finally. But as if the work of self-communion had been but Just begun, question after question has followed in quiok suooession. The funda mental Constitution Las been subjected to consideration and revision, and, in turn, every department of the Government legislative, judicial, and administrative is being brought under criticism. Let these questions be judged rightly, earn estly, and at enoe, so that the work is done forever; for if it is not so done, it must be done again I Let the questions be settled in the form in whioh they are presented, lest they appear again in shapes more formidable. Those truly great statesmen who have seen that the prosperity of a young nation must be fostered by wise legislation, and prudent pro tection of her industrial interests may olalm the goddess Minerva for their emblem. The patron of domestio manufactures and the arts of the household, she was also the goddess of wisdom and of war defensive, but not aggres sive. The wise anoients seem to have pene trated the truth that wisdom finds her true work in fostering the industrial pursuits of home, and even in fighting in their defense, while they are in themselves weapons against foreign aggressors. Skveral years ago, when the politioal movements of the inhabitants of Belgium were attracting such general attention, the Frenoh papers in their comments adopted the Eng lish word "meeting" as the only fitting ex pression for a free popular assemblage of the people. In their own language they ooull find no equivalent, showing that they had not the reality for whioh they vainly sought a name. Recently the first publio meeting, worthy of the title, has been held in Paris, and the topio disouaaed co-operative education seems remarkably appropriate to the oharao ter of the occasion. Representative Ashley, of Olj'o, is not overly popular at home. The Toledo Blade pub lishes a communication giving reas jus wby Mr Ashley should not be renominated In tbe Obio Tenth District. Tbe writer, who, as tbe Blade tesllflee, la a Bound, hard-working, Influential Republican, wbo has always supported Mr. Ash 'ey, and wbo will again, If be Is again nomina ted, ayn ' I would suggest to bU friends If we are to have a Republloan member in tbe nest Congress from tbls dUtrlot, we must nominate a man wbo can carry the full strength of hl-t partv; and tbls Mr. Ashley haa not done forth4 last Ibree elections. It doea not relieve ug from tbe dlffloulty to call those Republicans hard names wbo will not vole for him, fur tbere are hundreds or them In this district who hve uni formly voted tbe Union ticket, and will tbl fall support Grant, wbo caunot be persuaded to vote for Ashley. Tbe truth la, those who are posted In the matter are sailsflod if he la nomi nated be will run behind his tloket from 1009 to 1600 votes.'' General Grant visited Ripley, Ohio, a few days agn, and the Bee of that place says that not once did be allude to the faot of hia being a on. dldate for the Presidency, and whenever tbe subject was mentioned he would Invariably so frame hta remarks that ni one unacquainted would have ever dreamed that he was a candi date for tbat position. If the country had to de pend on tbe General to tell them that he was the standard-bearer of the Republic tn parly, It would remain in utter Igoo-ance for a long time. The country la not left In any doubt as to wbo is the Democratic cand date. Italian Em i oration to South America. A letter from Buenos Ayrea, published In the Official Gazette of Turin, estimates at no leas tban 4000 the number of Italian emigrants landed In South American porta between the 1st of January and tbe 15ih of March. A few fignrea will show the rapidly Increasing Impor tance of this movement, which takes plaoe almost exclusively from the port of Genoa. Ia 18C2 tbe number of emigrants amounted to 3082 persons; In 1863, to 4191; In 1861, to 5115; In 1805. to 5004; In I860, to 0000; and for 1808 we may esti mate a total exceeding 10,000. Tbe returns for 1867 are wanting. South Carolina UhCONuruuorioN. The Reconstruction Convention cost South Carolina $110,000, and ex-Governor Orr estimates that the new Legislature will be in session four months, at an expense of 1250.000. The Job la worth the money. Speaker Colfax and his family will leave Chicago, August 3, on their proponed Rooky Mountain excursion, and tbe 8prlugdeld .Repub lican In announcing tne fot, sny brass bands are strictly forbidden on the route, Blair doesn't travel In that style. Tux Democrats of Kentuoky will not learn wisdom. In tbe Ninth DUtrlot they talk of nominating lion. John D. Young for Cougress, although Congress has just deollned to admit him to a seat because of bis disloyalty, Comino Elections. Vermont is the first of the Kaaiern Slates to hold her election, but Maine is the first in which there will be any contest. ' "The Ferky Boy" has gone up Salt River, and a long way up the stream at that. A Most Singular and Fatal Presentiment. The Nashville Prestani 1me of July 0th, buys, the rirangest case ot ta'al pie-eniiaieut we ever beard or read ot occurred yesterday, about eiutit miles Irom town ou lm- Charlotte pike. Young Jim Hally, of tbe Ilaily foail, a boy about sixteen or seventeen ears of age, very clever, lut. llitrenl and coungeous, was wonting out lu a po'aio patch "all daj. About three o'clock be came into tbe bouc very much dis till bea lu mind, wiihas ituewbat wild expression ot litre, ud sat in au easy cuair In the parlor, and bfgnn to rock to and tro 'uriously.
