A RELIC OF THE OLDEN TIME.
From the X. Y. Times.
a ,.;, .t firn-piitpr still lives, and
his
Louie is Mobile. And tue duieiu oi tue demo
cratic candidate for Congress in that district
troubles him. And he vows that that defeat,
having been earned by the indifference of
white incii, shall he atoned lor by immediate
repentance or blood.
Of this ancient flro-enting senfinient tho
Mobile JiqMer is tho organ. It declares that
the election of a Republican member for its
district is a calamity for which "tho white
Mien who have thought proper to absent them
selves from the polls' are responsible. It
propounds tho inquiry, "Are we for over to
be the bondsmen and serfs of an invading
pnng of plunderers?" and responds with a
thundering No !
"We have, as a people, lionn patient oil, now pa
tient t lor years, bei'uiise we looked to a united
people nt home, and to a more generous reeling at
t lie North, for relief from our Intolerable tmrdyns.
It never entered Into our plans or purposes to en
dure the present condition of atralrs forever. But
now that, after four years of endurance, we Mud our
selves deserted ly enough of our own people to se
cure the ascendancy of C. II. rule over us, we are
forced to look about for other and new remedial
measures. Those of us who mean to he free at all
hn.iirds must do one of two things cither, first, de
sert this I', B. and negro-cursed laud, and Ilud a
home whose air we can breathe without stilling, or
we must resort to tUe ultima ratio, and drive our
tyrants away. JIad the white delinquents at the
polls come to the front, there had been no occasion
lor thoughts like these. The majority of this people
mean to hnve tlielr liberties, and If blood conies of
it its stain will be upon the garments of those who,
having before them a peaceful solution of the coun
try's (litllctiltles, and refusing to aid in It, have forced
men to think of sterner remedies.''
Hut the R 'jixta' reckons without its host.
The majority of its neighbors are not of the
lire-eating fraternity, or the defeat it deplores
had not occurred. It was beaten at the polls
because the majority are on the other side.
They are quite as anxious for the maintenance
of their liberty, probably, as are the class for
whom the lieyMtr speaks; but they interpret
liberty in a more rational rousc. To tho
mind of the fire-eater that much-abused term
formerly meant liberty to Hog negroes and
. . . J. .1
rule the btate; anil now it means liberty to
expel Northern and colored citizens who re
fuse to vote the Democratic ticket. The
majority who are not fire-eaters prefer the
liberty which is according to law; tkey can
Lreathe tho air of homo without Ktitling. or
without wasting words about "tho ultima
ratio" because theyhavo made up their minds
to labor and to wait for the happier time
which a little common sense and good feeling
will assuredly bring.
The Ilnjistt r, however, will be satisfied with
nothing less than another war:
"These reflections lead us to believe that we have
entered upon a new phase of this extraordinary
revolution, and that the years to come will not lie
as quiet as those that have passed. It Is not in the
nature of men, especially of men of our race, to sit
down supinely while they are taxed to a confiscation
of their property by a handful of strangers. Unites
will light for their lives, their food, and their young,
and our homes, our subsistence for wives and chil
dren, are threatened; and when liberty Is thrown
iuto the scale with the means of livelihood, ami
when we are boldly told if we do not like it we can
abandon our country, an issue Is presented that Is
not long debatable. When that issue comes to be
made up and It Is imminent it is one that a spark
may at any moment kindle Into a conflagration our
noa-voting while people will disc ver that they had
some Interest in the late election. They will Have to
light, whereas they only had to vote."
Here is a Southern Hip Van Winkle one
in whose veins courses the blood of the w hole
race of fire-eaters ! Tho slight excitement of
nn election has awakenod him from a nine
years' sleep. He rubs his eyes and sees those
who were once his slaves his equals at the
ballot-box; he sees white men voting tor a
Republican candidate, and a large crowd of
white men content to let tho Republican win.
The spectacle is too much for his venerable
nerves. Ho swears and raves like a lunatic.
He threatens vengeance against white and
black alike. He sharpens his bowie-knife and
polishes his riile. And then, rushing to the
tile of the licyixter tor August, 18.).), ho para
phrases its vaporings, and dreamily contem
plates tue sensation they will produce.
The multitude who have not been asleep
know that tho intervening ten years have
somewhat mnteriaUy altered the situation
They have had one war, and think that quite
enough. It has changed the relations of tho
races, and in some degree the theory of the
Government; but they havo faith in the supe
rior intelligence and capacity of the whites,
and are not afraid of tho final results. It has
left them embarrassed, with rich fields deso
late and old homes in ruins; but they are
doing their best to reorganize industry and
regenerate business, and they feel that their
efforts will be rewarded with success. These
men don't treasure tho files of tho Reiinier.
They are ready to subscribe a moderate sum
with the view of transferring them to tho
archives of tho Southern Historical Society,
as a memorial of the niaduess that once
reigned in Mobile. But they have no thought
of hearkening to an oracle that is behind the
age. They showed their purpose on this sub
ject by going to the polls in friendly compe
tition with the blacks, or by staying away
from the polls, and so helping the voters to
defeat the Democratic candidate.
One thing is certain. If tho Roister has
not sufficient influence to force the Mobile
whites to vote, it is not likely to bo able to
drive them into another light. Its thuuder
is too theatrical to frighten anybody.
The misfortune is that the threats of one
noisy fire-cater will bo turned to account by
his noisy counterpart in the North, always on
the lookout for utterances of this sort, and
we shall bo told in next week's Ait ti-Slt very
titt(ln that the Mobile whites are pre
paring for bloodshed and violence, and the
words of the Rt'ihtt r will be cited iu proof of
it. Passions are thus stimulated which all
good men would gladly see extirpated; pre
texts for persecution are furnished which
those familiar with the facts know to be un
tenable and unjust. In this way the South
suffers from blows inflicted by those who
pretend to be its peculiar friends. Mobile
w ill be happier when the lust lire-eater passes
to another ana more enduring slumber.
(JEN. FREMONT AND HIS RAILWAY.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
Tho fact that General John C. Fremont,
now in l'aris on business connected with the
projected "Memphis, El Paso, and Pacific
Railroad," whereof he is president, has there
encountered obstacles and embarrassments
growing out of misrepresentations set afloat
w ith regard to our Government's connection
with that project, has been set forth in some
journals in such a manner as to prejudice
unjustly both General Fremont and his rail
road. NVe need not assure our readers that
General Fremont has mndo no misstatements,
but many will be glud to learn that none havo
leen made on his authority or by tho com
pany whereot no is president. Whatever
misapprehensions may at any time have
existed must have grown out of tho state
ments of persons engaged in selling the bonds
of tho company, and too eager to make profits
(ij be cureful of facts.
It nccniH that, on tho 20th of Januiry latt. 1
Mr. Harlnn submitted to the Benato a bill '
which granted the right of way to Goneral
Iremont's road, and proposed a Unite 1
States guarantee of tho six per cent, bonds of
the company to a specified amount. Whether
this guarantee was special or general, we do
not know; though we bolieve it contemplate I
a Northern as well as a Southern Pacific R til
rood, and perhaps two or three branches.
Rut, whether general or special, we are in
flexibly opposed to all such guarantees. The
Government has virtually supplied the means
wherewith one railroad from tho Missouri to
the Pacific, over tho most difficult and deso
late route, has already been constructed.
There the subsidy business must stop. To
grant lands in uid of a projected railroad
through tho public domain is another matter.
The Government may well afford to give
alternate sections for a breadth of twenty
miles or so along the track of any traus-con-tinental
railroad; for the lands retained will
bo worth far more than tho whole were prior
to the construction of tho road. If four rail
roads across the continent were built, and
each were to be conceded alternato sections for
twenty miles along its track, tho public
domain, though thereby diminished iu area,
would be largely increased in value. Hence
we favor land-grants to important railroads.
Rut General Fremont's road, since wo had
any knowledge of it, has asked of Congress
merely the right of way across tho public
lands; and this the House voted (February
'!'.) to grant yeas, 121; nays, 41. Au
other resolve to the same effect was adopted
by the new House, a month later yeas, 102;
nays, lit. That the Benato would have con
curred if it had been allowed to vote on tho
question, was never doubtful; but tho pres
sure of business and unfair mameuvres in
commit tee precluded any act ion thereon last
spring. "NVe cannot doubt that tho right of
way will bo promptly conceded next winter.
A third joint resolve to the same effect with
the foregoing was submitted to tho Senate
(March !) by Governor Morton, referred to
its Committee on Public Lands, favorably re
ported (April H) by that committee, and now
awaits decisive action.
General Fremont's road commences at the
head of navigation on Red river, and pushes
thence nearly due west throughNorthern lexas;
Arizona, and Southern California, to San
Diego on the Pacific. 1 ollowing mainly the
course of Red river nnd the Gila, it cannot lie
nearly so expensive or difficult as tho central
road already constructed, while it will en
counter no obstruction from snows and little
from mountains. Its eastern tei'iuinus will
be promptly connected with railroads to
Memphis, Savannah, and other commercial
points. It inherited some sixty or eighty
miles already graded before the Rebellion,
and which only failed to be ironed be
cause tho Confederacy took away the
rails, chairs, etc., for use elsewhere. It is
pushing on the work of grading, has a
large quantity of rails bought and paid for,
has had three lull corps ol engineers in
the field for months, making tho final loca
tion of its liue through Texas, which State
has incorporated it, granted it tho right of
way, and 10,210 acres of State lands for each
mile in its course through the whole northern
border of its vast domain. The Memphis and
Little Rock Company has voted to unite and
consolidate with General r remont s road,
which expects to have l.M) miles of its track
completed and cars running thereon by the
1st of March next.
Such, according to the best information
we can gather, is the present xtnlit of Gene
ral h remont s Southern Pacific Itailroad. We
do not learn that it is asking our people to
aid it by subscriptions, loans, or favors of any
kind, beyond the right of way through deso
late Arizona, w hich we presume no Congress
will ever voto to refuse it. We hope and
trust that it will be steadily pushed on to
completion, and that, while our country will
bo immensely enriched by it, General ire.
niont and his associates in its construction
will not be losers.
ANDY JOHNSON IN THE SENATE AGAIN.
From the X. Y. Hun.
Tennessee is agitated over the choice of a
Senator to fill the seat which Mr. Fowler va
cates in March, 171. Outside of the State
it seems to be taken almost for granted that
Andrew Johnson win be the suceesstui man.
The relative strength of the various elements
that make up the majority ol the Legislature
is not vet apparent, but we doubt whether
the ex-President will be able to clutch the
prize so easily as his admirers imagine.
Any taction that thinks ot choosing John
son will know in advance precisely what they
are going to have; and this will make shrewd
politicians wary ot bestowing upon him for
six years the influential position of United
States Senator. Unless a chance has come
over him hardly short of a miracle, he will
return to the Senate not t be a follower, but
a leader. The history of American politics
does not 1 urnish a character whoso escutcheon
might more appropriately bear the motto:
"Rule or ruin."' The last four years eonclu
sivcly show that if the party which ho
attempts to lead should venture to resist his
domination, he will do his best to destroy it
And this eventful period has also demon
strated that he is one of that class of leaders
whose friendship is more dangerous than his
enmity, and who is more likely to harm his
followers than his antagonists.
Should Mr. Johnson, then, be chosen to
the Senate, whom will he attempt to lead ?
Certainly not the Republicans, tor he will
enter Congress as their implacable foe. Tho
red banners of the hitmlcrUli v, shaken deti
nntly in the face of the bull in tho nuiphith
litre of Madrid, do not more infuriate the ani
mal and rouse him to fight even unto death
than the countenances of Fessenden, Conk-
ling, Howard. Nye, and their Republican
colleagues in the Senate Chamber would in
Hume the anger and invoke the "damnable
iterations" of Andy Johnson. To tho Demo
crats, therefore, he must look for his fol
lowing.
Doubtless it would bo a spectacle truly
grat Hying to the Democracy, both within and
without the Capitol, to witness Johnson's on
slaughts upon the Republicans; and if they
could only contrive to have him open his
oratorical batteries upon the cohorts of Grant's
administration, without being drawn into tho
melee themselves, their joy would bo un
alloyed. Rut Johnson is not the man to go
to war at his own charges, nor to get up a
light merely for the benefit or amusement of
others: and he will let tho Democracy know
at the very outset that ho either rules or ruins,
leaving tl.em to find out in tho end, perhaps,
that he sometimes does both.
Self-reliant, self-willed, and combative:
courageous up tw tho point which lies a little
this side of actual peril; not destitute of valu
able resources in debate; with a rough, robust
energy, which makes him not a desirable
antagonist to grapple with; and smarting
under the terrible excoriations oi tno men
whom he would confront in tho north wing of
the Capitol, Johnson would infuse into the
proceedings of the Senate n good deal of neri
j.iot.v and luibulcnce, to the amusement of
Home portions of the pooplo and tht? disgust
of oihers.
This, however, would not satisfy Andy. He
is nothiug without Roniethiug which he cm
call my policy; and by sheer forco of will
and fertility of invention, he would commit
tho Democracy to a series of impracticable
issues and disastrous measures, from wuieii
they could not escape without docliniip' or
even resisting his leadership, whereupon he
would do his best to circumvent and ovei
whclm them. If the Democracy of Tennes
see can only be induced to send hitu back to
Washington, he may in the future, as ue u.ih
done in tho past, enable the Republicans to
win battles which they would otherwise ha
pretty snro to lose. They owe negro suffrage
to him; and their success in the next rresi
dcntial contest may possibly depend upon his
election to the Senate.
FREE CUD A.
From the X. Y. World.
Our information by telegraph from Madrid
and from Washington permits no further
doubt that the administration has caused to
bo laid before the Spanish government a pro
position for the political independence of
Cuba, similar in its outlines to that originally
developed in the WovUI, and that the result
has been what, our readers will boar us wit
ness, we predicted it would be if the leprous
Sickles were permitted to bo in any souso an
intermediary.
Ihe proposition was made the subject ol a
Cabinet council at Washington and approved.
It was also then determined that it would bo
prudent, in tho existing emergency, not to
trust everything, in so important a negotia
tion, to Sickles. Mr. Paul S. Forbes, of this
city, was therefore sent to Madrid by tho ad
ministration as a confidential Government
agent in association with the nowly-ap-
pointed Minister a place for which his
former intimacy with Prim especially qualified
him.
Full private directions wore given to Mr.
Forbes by tho State Department, and formal
instructions to Sickles. Both were aimed at
the single point of endeavoring to persuade
Spain to concede political sovereignty to the
Cubans, on condition ol tho latter pledging
themselves, iu proper form, to pay to Spain
a certain sum of money, which payment was
to be in some manner guaranteed by the
United States.
Refore the administration decided to issue
such instructions, conference was had with
the Cespedes embassy in this country, headed
by Al. Morales Lenins, and the plan was so
heartily approved by him that, in behalf of
the Cuban insurgents, he entered into a
written agreement a sort of protocol with
tho Government that Cuba would, on its part,
carry out the terms to be submitted by tho
United Mates (as we have heretofore ue
scribed) to the government at Madrid.
Ihe proposal, as made by Sickles to Mar
shal Serrano, while not peremptorily declined,
was not received in a manner to indicate that
it will at present be accepted. Mr. Forbes,
however, is ot the opinion that he will yet
succeed in carrying out the wishes ot tho
Grant and Cespedes administrations in the
matter, provided that for the future Sickles
keeps his defiling fingers out of the nego
nation.
For ourselves we have little faith. We fear
it is to be the old story of a beneticeut politi
cal arrangement frustrated by the mental in
capacity und moral badness of those whose
function it is to make it a reality. General
Grant has been incapable to see the insult to
Spain and tho wrong to the United States ot
commissioning such n wretch as Sickles to
exercise tho authority or to speak the voice of
one government in the dominions of the
other. And who dare say that the Senate will
not be as kind as he ?
We can only hope that President Grant will
not also go to Mercer street for ambassa
dresses to welcome the Empress Eugenie.
WILSON ON PAR TON.
From the . Y. World.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, eagerly
rushes forward to indorse Mr. Partou's vindi
cation of Congress from the charge of corrup
tion. The Senator declares that iu his many
years service at ashingtou ho has never
known a member of Congress to be bribed or
corrupted by money. W ithout dwelling on
the obvious circumstance that exactly in pro
portion to a Senator's own inaccessibility to
such corruptions must be the care which his
less scrupulous colleagues would take to
keep him in ignorance of their misconduct,
it occurs to us that Senator Wilson will
do well to explain one little incident
which has notoriously occurred during his
'term of service in Washington. A cer
tain Mr. Ashley, a member of Congress from
Ohio, a leading man in Senator Wilson's own
party, and a close ally of his in the great aud
holy work of impeaching the late President
Johnson, was not only accused, but con
victed, and that by his own letters, of cor
ruptly offering to procure an office in Colo
rado for a friend on condition of being
thereby pecuniarily benefitted himself. This
same Mr. Ashley, after this exposure of his
infamy, was nominated by President Grant
to the post of Governor of Montana. His
nomination was passed upon and confirmed
by the Senate in which Mr. Wilson sat,
and Mr. Wilson voted for the confirmation
thereof. These being simple historical facts,
v.e submit that from them it seems but
fair to infer: either that Senator Wilson's de
finition of corrupt conduct in a legislator does
not include the making of bargains with can
didates for ollice whereby preliminary inllu
ence is exchanged for subsequent profits in
which case Senator Wilson's endorsement be
comes void for his non-agreement with the
average moral sense of mankind or else that
Senator Wilson can act with public men for
years together, meet them iu daily political
and confidential intercourse, and give them
his vole for positions of public trust without
even knowing anything whatever of their
doings and their character in which case his
indorsement becomes void for incompetency
as a witness.
THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.

The situation iu Europe is very interesting

question, and particularly since the battle of

to believe that Germany was on the fair way
to final victory and complete consolidation,
specks have appeared on the Horizon wnicu

German cause as age and growing infirmities.
induce him to seek retirement. Russia busies
herself more and more with questions of inter
nal reform, and manifests a genuine anxiety to
develop the races which Providence has en
trusted to her care. The emancipation of the
M'ifs was a mighty step in the right direction.
1 he more recent abolition of the privilege
of the clergy shows that the governing policy
of Russia for the time being is clearly in
favor of popular liberty and such develop
ment as is compatible with the general inte
rests of the empire. One of tho most in
teresting items of our latest news comes from
the northwest of Europe. Scandinavia shows
signs of growing strength and purpose.
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are inhabitod
by a people that belong to a common stock.
Sweden and Norway have for some gene
rations been one, and to both union
has been a benefit. Denmark has
been painfully isolated, and of late
Denmark has grievously suffered. This suf
fering and loss tho Scandinavian races, one
and all. see must continue unless they can
come under some common bond of union.
They have recently, ns our news columns
have shown, had a grand meeting, at which
such union was strenuously advocated, and
the approaching marriage of the Crown Prince
of Denmark with the daughter and only
child of the reigning family iu Sweden pro
mises to make this desired uniou a fact.
If wo look at the situation iu Europe from
another point of view from a point of view
of more general interest tho situation is
even more interesting. We know well that
there are many influences which are sufficient
to cause war, We know that war is avoided
because of its uncertain consequences rather
than because war is believed to bo intrinsi
cally and essentially bad. There are out
standing questions between France and
Prussia of a very serious kind. Rut Napoleon
has not been nble to persuade himself that
war with Prussia would of a certainty redound
to his advantage, and war with that power has
in eonseq ;onee boon very wisely avoided. It
is scarcely otherwise with Prussia, although
Prussia has the advantage in having no special
reason to court war. The recent speeches of
Yon Reust, the Austro-Hungarian Chancellor,
one of the ablest men of this ago, a man who
is not to be named second to either Napoleon
or Rismark, show that in the event of difficulty
arising between Prussia and France, Austria
would be much more likely to take the side of
France than the side of Prussia,. Tho latest
speech of on Reust, taken iu connection
with the sentiments of tho Austrian Red Rook,
is rather alarming than otherwise. It has
caused, indeed, a profound sensation, particu
larly in l'aris and Vienna. Tho French inter
pretation of the language of the Premier is
in effect that the Austrian statesman has
informed Prussia in diplomatic terms that tho
empire does not need the friendship ol con
solidated Germany, having Franco in entente
en i'l it ilc.
We now know with some degree of cor
tainty how Europe would arrango itself in
the event of war. In spite of all the trouble
which is now supposed to exist in the Last, we
must still regard France and Prussia as the
two powers most likely to come into contact.
A war between them would necessarily divide
Europe into two hostile camps. Austria would
go with France if it came to pressure. Iu
such a case Russia might deem it necessary to
go with l'russia. Ihe Scandinavian kingdoms
might remain neutral, but if necessity were
laid upon them they would be much more
likely to take the side of the Germans than
that of the French. Italy would have no choice,
but remain neutral, aud Spain and Portugal
are so helpless that they cannot be taken iuto
account. How the conflict would end we will
not take it upon us now to say. Certainly wo
do not think that the South could beat the
North. After all, however, the war clouds
are not very alarming. All the nations are too
busy with questions of domestic reform to
allow themselves easily to be dragged into
war. Tho indications for the present are in
favor of nationalities. The nations threaten
to become less numerous and more powerful
We are likely soon to have fewer governments
and not so many crowned heads. Europe sees
and admires the career and prosperity of her
greatest on shoot, and the example of tho
i nited States is revolutionizing the nations
The revolution is general nnd goes on apace
but war does not necessarily enter iuto the
programme.
