In Spain and Mexico villainous politicians Lave recently concocted plots for assassi nating Serrano and Juarez, and the recollec tion of the brutal murder of the lute Prince of Servia is revived by the reported refusal of the Emperor of Austria to prevent the proper tribunals from punishing one of the alleged assassins, Prince Karageoigewich. Thus it is evident that the wicked disposition to advance a desperate cause or promote an eager ainbition by assassination is by no means extinct. AVe have still "Macbeths" Upon the stage of action ready to slaughter Bleeping "Duncans." The world yet contains more- than one Brutus who would draw 11 daggor against a Cresar, and more than one Booth bad enough to slay a Lincoln. The lessons of history are lost upon these despe radoes. They fail to see how rarely a causo dies with its leading official champion, and Low futile is the effort to kill a principle by destroying a single life. Political conspiracies based on tho central idea of assassination appenr to be equally dis astrous whether success or failure attends the cowardly attempt to send the soul of a Lated Emperor, King, Dictator, or President suddenly into the presence of its Maker. When they fail, they help to strengthen the power of the party attacked, and to give him a new hold upon his partisans. The schemes concocted to assassinate Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Napoleon III were not merely abortive, but they gave new pretexts for increased power. Guy Fawkes' gunpowder plot to blow up the British Parliament inflicted an injury to the cause ho wished to promote from which it never recovered, and for centuries the Catho lics of the realm were compelled to pay a con stant penalty for his rash scheme. The ten dency of the baffled schemes to assassinate Juarez and Serano is of the same character. Politicians and statesmen are often strength ened much more by the injudicious or brutal attacks of their enemies than by the laudations of their friends. If the popularity of the President of Mexico has been waning, nothing could have done more to revive it than the attempt to destroy him by means which make every manly and generous bosom despise and hate Lis despicable enemies. If Serrano's foot hold in Spain is unsteady, the attempt to hurl Lim from his high post by insidious violence will rally to his support all doubtful and wavering spirits. It will give new zeal to his friends, and make all honorable enemies anxious to prove that they are in no way iden tified with the plots of his dastardly foes. When the ruler against whom the dagger of the political assassin is aimed expires, the cause rarely or never dies with tho man. The great Ciusar fell only to be succeeded, after a brief iutor regiujim, by a representative of his family and Lis ideas, and the base effort of Brutus and Cassius to rescue the Roman republic resulted in its total destruction. Booth in killing Abraham Lincoln gave the Presidency to an unworthy successor, but even his treachery did not prevent the triumph of the principles which Lincoln represented. Indeed, there is little doubt that the assassin struck a terribly injurious blow at the Southern interests he was most anxious to promote. After the triumph of the national armies, tho martyred President was anxious to complete the work of reconstruction on a liberal and generous basis. His heart overflowed with charity for Lis vanquished foes, and he could have exer cised an influence over Congress, in inclining it to adopt a lenient policy, which Johnson was wholly unable to acquire. All the harsher features of reconstruction are directly attri butable to the assassination. Without it, the establishment of negro suffrage would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible. The South would not have been cut up into military districts and placed under the stern rule of the officers of the late war. The wishes of the leading Rebels would have boon consulted, and their suggestions would have ' received a favorable consideration whenever it could have been justly granted. Booth's crime, followed closely by Johnson's stubborn treachery, inevitably led to the adoption of a widely different policy. Indignation was aroused in millions of patient Northern breasts that might easily have been moved by gentle promptings of pity, and Con-f-4ss faithfully represented public sentiment in insisting upon every restriction and every ' guarantee that the nature of the case enabled the wisest of radical statesmen to devise. Thus in our own time and country has his tory repeated one of its most frequont and impressive lessons. A curse seems to accom pany cowardly conspiracies. They carry with them their own condemnation. The only possi ble pretext for them is in those countries whose government is defined to be "a despot ism tempered by assassination," but they rarely result in even seeming good in such nations; and in every laud where there is a semblance of freedom left, or the slightest chance for promoting reforms by legitimate means, they are as suicidal in their conse . quences as they are ba.se and wicked in their inception. XttSiilfeNT AUD HIS D8-1 TXACTOJiS. It wbb not expeoted by tho most thoughtful and judicious supprtors of General Grant that ho would prove what might bo called a brilliant President, nor was it particularly do sired, but it was thought that he would give us an able, honest, and economical adminis tration. Tho expectations held out in this respect have not been disappointed. Tho President has not given satisfaction to his bei friends in some few of the principal appointments that ho Las made, but no man could be expected not to make some mistakes in matters of this kind, and in judging tho President it is only fair to take into consido rat ion the difficulties under which ho labors, and to remember that ho has given an explicit promise to remove his own appointees with as much promptness as he did those of his predecossor, if they should prove incapable or dishonest. The very fact that he has made such an announce ment as this, with a belief that ho will cer tainly bo as good as his word, will of itself have a good effect on tho public service, and there aro already evidences of a greatly in creased efficiency in tho various Government offices. Tho principal complaints against Grant have como from disappointed oiliec hunters and from tho Democratic newspapers that aro eager to find an excuse for abusing Lim. As for tho first, it is tho most serious occasion for fault-finding with tho President that ho has allowed himself in somo instances to bo overcome by their clamor; and as for tho last, ho can well afford to despise them and to treat them with silent contempt a lino of policy that, ho has adopted heretofore, and that he is not likely to depart from in the future. It is an evidence that tho political cnemios of the President have nothing that they can allege against him either personally or politi cally, and it is the highest compliment to tho efficiency of his administration, that they .have undertaken to dog his footsteps and employ impertinent correspondents to act the spy upon him at all hours. In tho New York World, and other sheets of like character, all the movements of tho President are detailed with sneering comments, with a view of be littling him in tho eyes of the public; and tho President, from his official position, is obliged to endure insolence from these scamp ish quill-drivers that, if he were a private individual, they would not dare to attempt. The people of the United States are not to be deceived by such criti cisms as these, and they look to the reduction of the public debt, the increase in the reve nue receipts, the good order and security that prevail, the rapid reconstruction of the late rebellious States, and other material evidences of efficiency in tho management of the Gov mont, as tho proofs of Grant's real fitness for the position he holds. As an example of tho criticism, of the De mocracy, we quote from the World of Saturday tho following remarks about tho recent fire in this city. Tho World, in the first place, over states tho loss, which was about 2",0H) bar rels of whisky, and not 10,000, to tho total value of about l,ooo,ono and not :1 1,000, 000, and then, after explaining the occasion of the fire to be the falling of tho wall from the immense weight of the whisky stored just over the engine-room, it says: "A risk so palpable miHt easily have been fore seen, and would never have been Incurred by a superintendent conscious of jealous watchful ness and devoted to the Interests of his superiors. Hut in this Instance the deputy was a I'tilted States oillcial, responsible only to u political administration which puts its pets in olllce not for the iuterests of the people, but of the party. When an oillcial re ceives an appointment with: 'Stick there, friend, till you are wanted' for instance, to help on the election in 1872! naturally he may consider himself as settled, regardless of anything more than the mere form of his duty. And thus It comes about that merchants' Roods In bonded warehouses, like the people's rights and interests generally, aro no safer in the careless clutch of this government than if they were legally subject to conllscation. As to the loss to the national treasury from the I'hiladel phia lire, what is a few millions' worth in the esti mation of our masters? ' Now the real facts of the case were that the building in question ceased to be a bonded warehouse on the :50th of June: there was no United States official whatever in chargo of the establishment, and President Grant had no more to do with the place than the editor of tho World. The Government loss consisted of a small quantity of whisky, estimated at about 200 barrels, that had been seized for non-payment of tho tax. It would be going a long way about to attempt to fix the respon sibility of this fire on the shoulders of the President in any case, but as neither ho nor any of his subordinates had anything whatever to do with the warehouse at the time of the fire, this precious specimen of Democratic criticism falls to tho ground without further argument. The World had better try again, and perhaps within tho next three years and a half it will be able to inform tho public that tho Presi dent puts on a clean shirt every day, or somo other equally important item that will prove conclusively, at least to the ''great unwashed" who read the World, that he is an aristocrat who sets himself up to being better and cleaner than the noble army of Democratic voters who never change their shirts at all. FISK AGAIN IN THE FIELD. Admiual Fisk, Jit., is again before an admir ng public as the chief mover in another grand railroad fight in New York. This time Erie is put in the background, and the Sus quehanna Railroad is brought forward as tho prize for which the gallant Fisk has under taken to wage battle. Fisk, however, ap pears to have met his match this time, as a Mr. Van Valkenburg, who was put in charge of the office, not only refused to yield to Fisk, but when the latter attempted to tako forcible possession, ho was promptly expelled and put in charge of an officer, who conducted him forthwith to the station-house. This decisive action on tho part of Van Valkenburg, so far from offending the gallant Fisk, excited his enthusiastio admiration, and ho complimented his antagonist by telling him that he had been in twenty such scrapes, and that never before had he met a man who dared to face him and do his duty like Van Valkenburg, and he thcrtforo exprei3sc( a WdeuUlesjrQ q ajtg Van Valkenberg into his own service at tho earliest practicable moment, as he needed just such a man. The case, we are told, has become so mixed up on acoount of tho injunctions and counter-injunctions issued by different courts that it is impossible to tell how the contending par ties stand, although it is presumed that Fisk has thus far rather got the worst of it. Wo have no particular interest in this dis graceful squabble, and it is only worth al luding to as an iHustration of the corruption of the judiciary in New York. Tho judges in New York city, and many of them throughout the Stato, aro regularly in tho employ of stock jobbers like this man Fisk, and all tho pow erful machinery of the law is put in motion whenever it is required to aid the schemes of their masters. The judges lend them selves in tho most unblushing man ner to tho machinations of these rival railroad speculators, and matters have como to such a pass that great corporations like tho Pacific Ilailroad daro not locate them selves "in New York, but have to seek safety and protection elsowhere. There is no telling what we may come to, but it is a satisfac tion to know that tho judiciary of Philadel phia has thus far kept itself above reproach: and this fact being known, the natural conse qnence of tho demoralization in Now York will be that an immense amount of business interests will be forced to take refuge in this city. Tho Fisks of New York seem to be fast killing the gooso that lays the golden eggs, but it is a consolation to know that their loss is likely to bo our gain. Thk Gkf.at Solar Eclipsk fullillod the pro gramme laid down for it by the astronomers to tho very second, and full reports of tho ob servations of it in all sections of the country will bo found elsowhere. It is a matter of sincere congratulation that tho weather was generally very favorable for the operations of tho astronomers and photographers, especially along the track of totality. Tho great num ber of scientific men engaged in observing the progress of tho eclipse, and tho exceed ingly favorable circumstances under which they have been enabled to make their obser vations, insure the solution of many delicate and interesting problems which have hitherto defied the Havana. Genkhai, Boski -.-hans, luckily, has both creditors and a family, and tho necessity for fulfilling duties which he deems sacred to them deters him from accepting tho Demo cratic nomination for Governor of Ohio, lie damaged his reputation immensely by in dulging in tho trip to the White Sulphur Springs last year, but his creditors and his family have united to preserve intact what is left of his military reputation. The committee of the French Senate ap pointed to examine the nenntn eonxultuni in which the reforms proposed by Louis Napo leon aro set forth, has selected M. liouher to preside over its deliberations. By the aid of this devoted and unscrupulous partisan of the Napoleonic reriinr and policy, the committee, it is to be hoped, will experience but little difficulty in arriving at '"the will of the nation." The SrANisH Government has taken deci sive action with respect to the priests who have engaged in the recent Carlist troubles. All who hereafter display hostility to tho Gov ernment will bo prohibited from preaching and presiding at tho confessional. This was tho only courso left open to the regency. If the clergy were permitted to plot and counter plot, the country could never be at peace. SPECIAL. NOTICES. jgg? FOR THE 8MMER.

The PENNSYLVANIA 8TATK KOtlAL RIGHTS' I.KAGUK again issues its call to the league of this State, and to the citizens who aro yet disfranchised, earn estly urging them to attend the Annnal Meeting of the League, which will convene in Huidekoper's Hall, MF. A D. VILLK. on TUESDAY, August 17, lm, at 10 o'clock A. M. The many startling events which have transpired since our last meeting make the approaching one, which will be the fifth annual session of the league, of more importance than any we have ever held. The Great Republican Party is triumphant; the Great Military Chief of the Age is President of the Nation; the Constitution of tho United States is amended, and its ratification by the requisite number of States so noarly completed that wo may claim it ns an accomplished fact; and black men aro voters and fill offices of trust, honor, and emolument. At the coming meeting of the League, the most vital isftiesmnstbemetand fully discussed; the gravest sub jects must be presented, subjects involving our present peace, political and social condition as well asotirseourity for the lutnre. Our destiny, by the will of God, appoart to be indissolubly bound to that of onr nntivo country. Willi it we will rise with it we may fall. The unfolding of the broad platform of equal political rights, with equal political privileges, opens to us all the responsibilities and duties of the citizen whioh tyrants have long donied us, and to-day wa constitute part of tho groat govoming power of the republic. Not as in days past does the League now summon you -not to aid the fleeing fugitive, nor to shield him from tho gory grip of the inhuman kidnappor or the official elutcti of the debased United States inorconary. Neither is it to petition Congress for rights denied, grievances to bo re dressed, person and property to be protected, or freedom and life to be secured. Nor is it to ask tho Legislature of Pennsylvania to pass a bill to secure us in the right of un molested travel in railroad cars throughout this Common wealth ; a right which was denied by reason of our color and which, tlirongh tho instrumentality of a committee of the League, we now enjoy, in deiianceof tho prejudice of tho dominant classes, and in defiance of others still more unmanly, who, being prompted by envy and personal malignity, lent, their fruitless efforts, even at tho jeopardy of this great right, to cmbarass the Loague in its en deavors to secure this just act of legislation, k is to the call of Mttt, ftrnther, and Amrrirmi Oi'izm that you are summoned. You are called to meet this living impirtant crisis, which unparalleled events, tho rending in twain o, the "cord of caste," the overturning of oppression, and the judgment of Cod have forced upon the nation. Y'm are called upon to calmly consider and resolutely adopt some feasible, practical plan, by which we may mas the vote of our people to uphold and sustain intact the Republican party and those noble men, representatives of that courage and heroism which have savod the nation; men who in the Congress of the United States and in the State Legislatures unflinchingly met tho question raised by the life-long enemies of our race and of the country, as to the right of the colored men throughout the North to voto, and to exorcise all other rights enjoyed by virtue of citizenship. Come from your workshops, from your fields of labor, from the factory, the school-house, and farm. Come from your homos and families. For this occasion let our minis ters leave their pulpits, our working men their avjeations, and our profersional men their duties. Let tur thoughtful, active, vigilant mon conn together and so tcmplctcly organize and combine that not a vote shall be lot-t, 1 ut that they may Xo polled to crush tho enemies of law and order of Union and Liberty. To the treat principles which an mate the Republican party we stand pledged by evory tie of uouoraud grati tude. To Cod, Liberty nnd onr Couutry, over tho hrokon chains and ciushef manacles that bound tho limbs of millions, we have written onr deathless adherence. By order of the Executive Board.
