fact that tho lladlcal speaker of tho

well feel alarmed.

Mr. li.inks has brought tho relations
or mis country witn uuDa, nnu 1110 ac
tion of General Grant in connection
with tho same, to tho attention of Con
gress. Wo hopo, at last, an American
policy wilt-bo adopted, and carried out.
Thero is great neod of moro patriotic
pluck andbnekbono being infused Into
our national authorities. Thoy can
drive from position a minister from a
friendly Power, on a thin excuso. But
when American cltlzeiw arc insulted,
robbed, and banished from Cuba, no
action is taken. When Grant, Fish and

Age.
For several years tho Spaniards have
been practising various cruelties usual
to them In conducting war against weak
people. Whenever thoy catch nny of
tho natlvo Cuban rebels they oxecuto
them at once. Even women ond boys
share thlsfatc. A short tl mo ago somo
school boys mutilated the tomb of a
military grandee. Before night, eight
of tho boys were condemned and shot,
and a number of others wcro sent to
tho penitentiary for terms of.four, six
and eight years. Americans doing busi
ness in Cuba, for the most frivolous rea
sons, aro despoiled of their property
and driven away. Our national flag
has been repeatedly insultod, yet our
Federal administration, for unexplain
ed reasons, brooks theso outrages, and
tho insults aro as tamely submitted to
as though murder and insult could bo
earrlcd on with Impunity In our sight,
and It was not a duty to resist thom 1
Send our army to Cuba to tako possess
ion of it, and then settlo with Spain
amicably if practicable.
It would seem that men of sense
could not have much respect for that
pitiful species of political warfare that
objects to every thing that Is done by
an opposition administration, or its
head, whether right or wrong, impor
tant or trivial less yet when personal
habits nnd family matters aro brought
into requisition. If Gen. Grant is
fond of ryo In a liquid state, in prefer
ence to tlio raw article, it is merely a
question of tasto for tha tcmperaneo
people to reform by prohibition ormoral
suasion, and if tho President sends a
son on a visit to Europo, we do not seo
that it materially affects nny body but
pap and brat. Nor havo wo over been
nblo to discover tho demerit of admir
ing liorso-flesh. That is n weakness
that affects somo other pcoplo besides
Presidents. Tho factts, thcro is a wholo
class of Buch objections that had as
well bo loft out of tho uewspapers which
thoy discredit moro than thoy do tho
individual ngalnst whom thoy aro direc

such things ever Infiuciico a vote.

his apprenticeship to tho printing busi

Harrlsburg, and at ono tltno edited tho
Centre County Democrat, and after tho
reelection of Gen. Jackson ho edited
tlio Pittsburg" J'ost until ho was obliged

Illinois and from thero to California,
where he encountered many hardships
as a pioneer, but was soon elected to
tho Legislature, and finally to tho ofllco
of Governor. For soveral years ho has

August Belmont, tho greater bank

of tho Democracy to its enemies and
thus accomplishing its eternal destruc

Wo do not nttaek tlio motives, for wo
do not know what influences them, of
tho Harrlsburg Patriot, tho Pittsburg
Post, tho Lancaster Intelligencer, and
several lessor organs, in supporting this
iNfkhnal bethayai. of the Demo

explain why they glvo aid to tho
schemes to surrender nnd destroy tho
party of which they pretend to bo or

and people against their faithlessness.
Judged by their tononnd tho articles
they publish thoy aro fully in tho
schemo of betrayal and with dovillsh

Our State Committee is in this treach

Tho "now departure'1 was but an en

Domocrats wero induced to support or
acquiesco In it, tho design of its progen

exists, and that it is backed and sup

"Since writing thu foregoing wo find
the following manly artlcloln tho Age,
viz:
Tho Hon. Montgomery Illalr, in n
letter in thu Saw York World, recom
mends tho Immediate retirement of tho
Democracy from tho Presidential can
viwi, and tho adoption of what Is called
"tho nasslvo policy." This fiction, hn
thinks, must bo taken urbintitlv. to ho
rrfectlvo. Wo do not know any inodo
by which tho Democratic party could
bo placed In that attitude till IU Na
tional convention tu-soninies, except liy
tacit understanding nnd general assent;
and to mako our position clear, wo will
at onco, dlsnent emphatically lrom the
proposal. Wo nover heard n now phruso
that sounded less acceptably than tho
ono that Implies "passivity'1 when tho
best hopo of success lies in vigor nnd nc
tiou. Tlio Democratic party now re
presents thoso principles of free, civil
government that aro tho best possession
and tho doarest right ofovory Ameri
can citizen. That thcro will bo n rally
Of all Conservative men In the Kiiimnrt
of thoso principles Is so clear, that it has
raised tho hopes of all freemen worthy
of tho name, and tho fears of nil tho
conspirators for military government.
Wo aro not disposed to say dogmatical
ly who ought to bo tho Democratic can
didate In tlm noxt canvass. It Is tho
point on which tho general tenso of tho
pooplo ought to mako itself freely heard
and no nnehasnuthority to suppress it.
But it is very premature to concodo
that tho Democratic party cannot offer
a candidate as Hcccptablo to tho great
COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT,
mass of consorvotlves, as any candldnto
tho can nroposo will bo to tho great
mass of tlio Democracy. Without com
milting ourselves to tho claims of any
candidate, which wo shall always hold
HUbordlnato to tho general Interests, wo
havo yet to hear any ono named who
would, by personal qualification nnd
recognized illness for tho ofllco, concil

would seo n Guaranty, as strons as per

this result will bo reached only through
tho triumph of tho principles of tho
Democratic party, fow dony ! and tho
onlv nuesllon Is tlio mudo fu which
they aro to bo brought Into action. To
tho best of our ludemcnt It Is not by
tho proposal that takes tho uninviting
tltlo of "tho passive policy''
Tun Now York frauds, over which

A via onous contest Is being waged
Just now within tho ranks of tho Cold

Temporanso men Insist upon complet
prohibition of tho salo of all lntoxic.it
ing boverag03, wlillo tho moro moderate
favor tho pas3ago of a local option law
by our Stato Legislature. Tho Key-
stone Good Templar, In Bpoaklng for tho
Order, says that Its members "hold that
dram selling Is a sin nnd a crlmo, and
that It should bo absolutely prohibited
by posltlvo law," and It dellnos tho po
sltlon of tho Local Optlonists by declar
ing that "thoy treat dram-selling as
sin nnd n crimnotily In certain wards or
districts, if a majority of the people say
so by their votes." Tlio Lan caster In
te'lljcncer thinks that tho radicals occu
py tho moro logical position. If it bo
sin and a crlmo to sell liquors, wlne3 o
beer, than ought tho wholo business to
bo placed beyond tho palo of legal sane
tion.
Murphy n Defaulter In Half a Million !
Notwithstanding Grant's expression
of confidence In tho honesty of his Long
Branch Cottago friend, Tom Murphy-
it now turns out that ho is a defaulter
.to tho Governmont in over half a mill
ion of dollars. Tho Tribune says
"Startling and irrefutablo as was the
evidence publlshod In tho Tribune of
Sept. 22, concerning Collector Murphy
lmtfrauds upon tho Government during
tho war, it sinks into Inslgnlflcanco
when compared with tlio ovidonco
which has recently camo to light and
which proves him to be a defaulter to
tho Government, on one contrnctalone,
to tho amount of $100,000. Thin with
tho $55,000 loss on tho shoddy hats fur
nished byhim,makesMurphy an actual
defaulter to tho Govornmont for over
$510,000."
The movement to mako Thomas A.
Scott, of tho Pennsylvania R. R. Co.,
tho Democratic candidate for Pro3ldont,
will not bo a success. All parties con
eedo Mr. Scott's groat abilities ns a
railroad officer, but thero is an insllnc
tivo sontlmont among tho Democratic
masses that tho interests of groat cor
porations and thoso who conduct them
nro not tlioso of tho pooplo. Mr. Scott
has bcon tho hoad nnd front of tho very
oveils which tho Domocratlc party
wages unremitting war ngalnst, and it
would bo thoacruoof absurdity to mako
him our candldato for any ofllco. Wo
respect tho motives of thoso who urgo
him for nomination, but a very brief
intercourse with tho "bono and sinew"
will convlnco thom that they mistake
tho popular Judgment. Erie Observer,
The Pittsburgh Post says: "A pre
sumptuous clerk of ono of tho Depart
ments In Washington had his hash set
tled wlillo sottllng his hash in an oyster
saloon tho other day. Whilo partaking
of his bivalves, n negro Congressman
from South Carolina camo In mid seated
himself at tho table with tlio white
clerk and called for n stew. Mr. Clerk
rather profanely remarked that ho was
not In tho habit of eating with negroes.
Tho outraged Congressman reported
tho clerk at headquarters, and lie was
dismissed. Had ho objected to eating
with a German or Irishman, ho would
no doubt havo boon promoted, but ro
fusing to eat with a negro In n rrco
country moots with a speedy nnd ox
cmplary punishment."
The Cincinnati Enquirer is In favor
of abolishing thonrray nnd navy of tho
United States,and remarks : "Tho pres
ent administration is fast converting tho
nrmy Into a mere machlno for controll
ing caucuses nnd elections, and forcing
Stntes to Its will ; it lias already, accord
ing to Mr. Sumner, 'usurped the kingly
prerogative' through its uso of tho
navy ; and It is timo for sober consider
ation whethorin vlow of this prostitu
tion of power, It Is uot better to do
awny with both army and nnvy ; do

ho unlawfully uses, and savoourmonoy

Wu observo that Ben. Dili.y, of
Wilkcs-Harre, sentenced to three yoars
In tho Penitentiary for keeping a Gam
bling houso, (ono of tho dolectablo
Judges of the Court of tint county
boing a victim,) has been pardonod.
As thero was no question of his guilt,
tho propriety of this pardon may well

of tho Secretary makes a vory satisfac

management is most excellent.
In closing ids report, the Secretary
finds it necessary to mako tho state
ment, in conformity to tho programuio
marked out by tho Prcsldont, that It has
been found nocossary to retain nbout
ono sixth of tho wholo army in tlioso
States of tho Southoast of tho Mississip
pi which wero engaged in tho rebellion ,
for tho purpo-so of putting down a sec
ond rebellion and bringing its loaders
to punishment. By what process of
reasoning tho Secretary arrives at tho
necessity of this courso, apart from po
litical motive-!, ho docs not toll us. .
Tlio Secretary of tho Navy fumlshos
tho information that tho Navy of tho
Unltod States now consists of 179 ships
of all classes nnd conditions ; of theso
0 are sailing vessels and tho remainder

It, tho scrvlco In this country will com

has uuder his command an

From tho report of tho Commissioner
of Internal Hovenuo, it appears that tho
total amount of rovenuo receivod from
all sources, excluding tho duty upon thu
circulation among tho National Banks,
is $111,011,170,21. Commissioner Dou

working of tho machinery for tho col

tho question of tho tobacco trade; anl
madverts strongly on tho manner In

meaning of tho pas'slvo policy, Thrco
millions of Democratic voters cannot
afford to sell themselves to two or thrco
hundred thousand Republican voters,
and that for n mess of pottage which
tlio Republicans nnd not tho Democrats
aro to enloy. 1 don't belle vo thoy will
doit. I think tho passive policy nlrcady
a failure."
Tin: London Times wants Americans
to ro-eleect President Grant. Tlmo wns
whou tho pooplo of this country thought
tho most dangerous courso they could
adopt was to do what tlio Britls'i want
cd of them. Tho interests of tho two
countries nro diametrically opposite,
and whenever John Bull Is pleased with
tho acts of our public men, It may bo
set down to u certainty that thoy are
lolng him somo scrvlco nt our expencu.
It Is said that $10,000, raised to defeat
Flllmoro for tho Presidency, wits put In
tho Jinnds of Lincoln, of tro Albany
Jurnal, in Ills own name, to bo drawn
ns wanted. A fow days afterwards
Lincoln dropped dead In tho streets.
Tho money of courso went to swell the
cstuto of tho deceased,--A fow months
passed, nnd Mr. Flllmoro married the
widow ami the $10,00,).
Ox tho first of this month seven hun
dred workmen wcro turned out of em
ployment at tho navy yard In Philadel
phia. Most of tltoso men wero crowded
Into It last September to boused In the
October clojtlon. But tho olccllon is
now over, and tho Secretary of tho
Xavy turns them adrift lu tho dead of
winter.
Our Sentiments.
Wr. glvo our hearty endorsement to
tlio following which wo clip from the
Peoples Defender i
"Wo want no moro 'now departures,'
no moro knuckling to Radicalism, but
a clean victory or a clean defeat, upon a
thoroughly Democratic platform."
Thmie aro thrco kinds of men in tho
world-tho" Will's, tho Won'ts and tho
Can'ts." Tlio first everything, tho
others opposo everything. "I will"
builds our railroads nnd steamboats;
"I won't" don't bellovo In experiments
and nonsenso ; whilo "I can't" grows
woods for wheat, and commonly ends
his days In tho slow digestion of bank
ruptcy. TnAT distinguished philanthropist,
Gen. O. O. Howard, having extracted
all tho pulp from tho Freedman's Bu
reau plum, mildly suggests to tho gov
ernment tho propriety of throwing
away tho pith nnd skin. An excellent
suggestion, tno bos, that ever camo
from that quarter.
ViCE-Prti:stDENT Coi.fax is evident
ly not of thoso who think tho Democra
cy dead. Wlillo hopeful of his party in
1872, ho expects tho canvass will bo ex
citing and sharply contested. In ills
opinion tho Democracy Is least danger
ous when most coufldent, but most to
bo feared wlion adversity lias chastised
It into prudenco.
In llussla tho writ of habeas corpus is
unknown becauso liberty is unknown
In this country It Is left by coneresslon
al legislation to ono man to determine
whether tho writ sholl bo suspended or
not, and whother tho American pcoplo
shall enjoy nny moro liberty than tho
peoplo of Russia.
SE.tATort Sumneii startled tbo office
holders by introducing a bill to abolish
tho Intomal Revenue Bureau. But, as
Gonoral Grant needs the services of nil
tho pensioners to ronomlnato him, hero
will ho no reduction In their numbers.
Goveuou Brown, In his Messago to

J. IIenhy Askin.Esq., is named for
