Iv order to be a successful politician io Mon tana it is said that a man must either have the poorest memory of any man living, or be one of the greatest liars of the age. The above paragraph is taken from a rad ical newspaper. The premises being admit ted, it follows as clear as the night follows the day that James M. Ashley, who has just ben sent to that Territory by Grant as its Governor, is emphatically "the right mac in the right place." At the primary election of the Democrat ic party in Westmoreland county, which took place last week, Col. Iseael Painter was nominated as one of the two candidates for the House of Representatives. lie has since written a letter declining the nomina tion ', on the ground that his business en gagements will not permit him to accept. XVe regret that he has felt constrained to adopt this course. Col. Tainter is a man of sound judgment, extensive experience in public affairs, and of admitted integrity of character. It is j'ist such men who would redeem the Legislature from the slough of political corruption into which it has fallen. Capt. IL II. H'CoEMiCK, of the Cherry Tree, has been nominated by the democratic convention of Indiana county for the As sembly. Capt. M'Cormick is an uncompro mising democrat, and served during the g-eater portion of the war with great credit in the South-West. He was a member of the House daring the session of 18C8, and left narrisburg with an honest reputation, which is more than can be said of most of the men who are sent there to make laws for the people. Under the present infamous apportionment bill, the legislative district in which Capt. M'C. resides, and in which he will have to run, is composed of the counties of Westmoreland and Indiana, and is entitled to three members. "We know very well that the chances are against Capt. M'Cor mick and his colleague, but at the Fame time we know that he, as well as they, ought to be elected, if the people of the two counties want and re determined to be rep resented by honest men. Capt. M'Cormick 's opponent in Indiana county is the old mem ber, f Marshall.) who, it is to be presumed. is willing, judging from his former career as a legislator, not only to support his party, but to affiliate himself with all its notorious corrupt operations at Harrisburg. We will row see whether all this hue and cry about reform, so lustily advocated by the Indiana Messenger, is true, or "whether it is not all a transparent steam in that county as it is in other radical strongholds. Jones and Pile. During the last session of the Senate. Grant nominated a man from Galena, or from that part of Illinois, by the name of J. Russell Jones, as Minister to Belgium. As is usual with him, he made the appointment, rot because of the man' fitness for the po sition, but simply because Jones had been one of his old friends. The Senate, after having made a full investigation of the qual ifications of Jmes for so important a mission as that of Belgium, rejected him on the distinct ground of his total incapacity. Any man would conclude from this summary ac tion of the Senate, that both Grant and his fiiend J. Hussell Jones would have been satisfied with the verdict of that body. But such is not one of the ways of this reform administration. Jones was one of Grant's old cronies, and must be a foreign Minister, unfit though the Senate said he was aud is. So, about two weeks ago, the Sen Ate having long since adjourned. Grant gave Jones a commission, and sent him to Belgium. What kind of an estimate must a man put upon himself, who having be9n ap pointed to a high office, and having been told by his own party friends in the Senate that he was wholly incompetent, and that the nomination was not fit to be made, will yet get down on his hands and knees and crawl into the very position Tom which the Senate had ignominioualy ejected hino. Such things were not dono even during the much abused and vlllified administration of An drew Johnson. But a President who could appoint Washburne to Paris and Sickles to Spain, can easily get down to Jones and galvanize him into political life with all the emoluments of a fat office. The Senate also rejected William A. Pile, of Missouri, as Minister to Brazil, and for the tarn; reason that it shelved Jones. But this did not satisfy Grant. File, too, must have an office, and he ha-j betn appointed Governor of New Mexico. It wi'.l be re membsred that the Governor of that Terri tory was Gen. MiicJuU, an officer of the Union army, who bore the marks of hone-able wounds on his body. Grant removed him and appointed a rebel officer by the name of Crow from Alabama, in his place. It turned out that this pel Crow of Grant's could not take the test oath, and as he was I determined to get rid cf the gallant Mitchell, he has sent out this man Pile to supercede him. This may be literaly called Pifc-ing iDg on the agony. And yet in the face of such appointments as these and many more like them, this is called a model ad ministration and Grant 1s glorified as a mod el President. Great is Ulysses, of this the freest and best government on the face of the earth. Curtin and Russia. On Saturday, 12th instant, the political friends and admirers of Andrew G. Cur tis, who has recently been appointed Min ister to Russia, set down to a banquet g;ven in honor of that gentleman at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. It was a banquet "as is a banquet." and we are very certain, from the published account "of what was there and then said, that it never had its parallel. The speech of the "War Gover nor" was a fulsome eulogium on himself, which a becoming sense of raode-ty ought to have admonished him was sadlv out cf piace. jitns dcott was tuere and made a speech, the burthen of which was to prove the great resemblance between the princi ples of Grant and William Fenn. If this were so, then history is a base fraud and a 'wicked cheat. As well might Wilberforce be compared to Wellington, or John Bright to fighting and swearing Philip H. Sheridan. Fbaxcis Jordan, the Secretary of the Com monwealth, pronounced an extravagant eu logium on "my cJiampion," as he mode&tly styled J Jin W. Geary. Indeed, to read Jordan's speech one would readily ruppose that the "banquet" had been tendered to Geary and not to Curtin. The inevitable Aleck M'Clurk was on hand, and after hav ing alluded in glowing terms to the merits of the "Young Republican leaders of 1860," he proceeded to Epeak, in hi3 own peculiarly modest style, of his dear friend Curtin. Af ter Jordan's commendation of Curin it would not have surprised us to have read an en comium by JPCIure on Simon Cameron. M'Ciure's shadow William B. Mask, was also one of the distinguished guests, mid ought to have pronouuceJ a panegyric on M'Clure, but William's modesty forbade him, and herein consists the only defect that we have discovered in this self-laudatory per formance of what might be very appropri ately called a first class "Mutual Adroira ation Society." Of course on such a festive occasion the usual amount of praise and adulation was heapeU on Russia and her Emperor. One of the speakers, Jordan, prononnced The government of the "Russian Bear" "a mod el of its kind," and such it most unqnestion ably is a model not often approached and seldom equalled. We confes that we have never been able fully to comprehend why this feeling of excessive admiration pervades the American mind, or at least a large por tion of it, for a despotism so pure and un adulterated as that, of Russia. The public men of both political parties have constantly cherished and encouraged it. If there is any one government in Europe winch ought to i i .. - create a feeling of aversion among all true republicans of this country, it seems to ns it is that unlimited and despotic power. What is there in the history of the Russian government to commend it to the favorable consideration of the American people ? The phrase, "Russian Tyrrany," has passed into a proverb. It has always been a cruel, op pressive and vindictive despotism. The true character of a government is best illustrated by its conduct towards its weak and de fenceless neighbors. Judged by ti:is stand ard, the treatment that Ireland, for three hundred years, has received from England has not been as cruel and inhuman as that which unfortunate Poland has experienced at the hands of Russia. Under the celebra ted coalition formed between Russia, Pru;; sia and Aust-ia, in 1795, tho kingdom cf Poland was blotted from the map rf Europe. That constituted one of the blackest pagt-J in modern history and will stand as an un dying monument of infamy against the des potic triumvirate that perpetrated 1'ie great and unpardonable outrage. The greater portion of her territory was incorporotrd with Russia, and remains so to this day, while hundreds o" hor best patriots and statesmen have dragged out a miserable ex istence ia the dungeons of Russia, or in the inhospitable mines among the sterile moun tains of Siberia. In order that the work of destruction might be completed, the Rus sian government has very recently attempt ed to abolish the very Polish dialect itself. In our own day she iaterve"d iu ihe strug gle of Hungary agaiDst Austrian despotism and coming dowu with her legions like a wolf on the fold, crushed out the best hope of Hungarian freedom. This is the govern ment, "a model of its kind," that the people of the Uuited Statc3 a.e asked to applaud and iu whose favor they are expected to bhout paeans of pra;s?. We adu:t that n is the policy as well rs the duly of this country to maiutain liiendly legations with all ua'ions, no matter what may be thsir pe culiar form of ioveinmeut. We do co with the govemmeut of the Emptor of China. But there is no sort of least.u why we bhu'd pay this obsequious deference '.o Russia and her people. The senlimeut attempted to be inculcated among us eesnis to be peculiarly one of personal admiration for the "Stnperor. It is a false and f nti-republkan feeling, and one that ought not to find a lcloruent in the American mind. Ausl.ia is just as worthy of it, and yet such a sta-Iment has no existeuce in thn country. Whatever merits the Emperor of Russia may possess , and he has tn;.uy, we deny that there is any just foundation for this feeling of profound repect and auira;ion, on tho part of our people, either for uini or his government. Judge Shaeswood has delivered an opin ion, in a case brought for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the new Reg istry law. that it is unconstitutional and void. The illegality of the act is presented in some nine different points, in the opinion rendered. This decision will effect Philadel phi only until the Supremo Conrt of th State aflirm or reveree it.

RURNTNO A MtTCK IN AN IKDI4NA VIL LAGE Two Women Murdered. The little village of Covington, Troy county. Ind., and its vicinity, were thrown into the most intense excitement last evening by the en acting of one of the mo6t horrible tragedies ever known in the annals of Northern Indi ana. The particulars, as far as can be ob tained, are as follows : "About sunset last evening Frederick Bemster, formerly in the employ of Mr. Dodd, auctioneer, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Jones, a respectable widow lady about seventy-five j-ears of age. She was the mother of John R. Jones, who edited The Friend years ago. Rcmster killed her with a revolver, tho ball passing in her neck below the ear ; she lived but a few minutes. The next victim of the nsws sin was a beautiful and highly respected young lady, about seventeen years of age. the daughter of Mr. Beckelheim. Miss Beckelheim heard the disturbance across the street and stepped out, when Remster firevl the shot, taking effect above the ear. She is nnonscious to-day, the brain oozing from the wound, and her physicians say she must soon die. The murderer lived in a part of the house of Mrs. Jones, with his jyoung wife, to whom he has oeen married only three wteks. When Remster shot Miss Beckelheim he cried for John Dodd, and rushed away. As he came near James McMahati'd residence he tried to kill a man standing near, but the cap snapped. Mc Mahan'a little boy, with great self possession, told the murderer that Dodd had just passed and started Remster after him. Remster went off hurriedly and soon meeting John Fausler r'ished to him, dashed the revolver right in his mouth and pulled the trigger, but the cap fortunately exploded without discharging the load. Mr. Fausler, being a strong man, taid hands on Remoter, crushed him to the earth and handled him roughly till assistance carne, when he was immedi ately lodged in jail. It is said that Remster had been gambling desperately and drinkiug considerably. No other cause for these horrible deeds can now be made known, though the promise of an early explanation of this wholesale slaughter is made.

Tun Irish Church disestablishment bill passed to a second reading in the House of Lords on the morning of the 19th. by a majority of thirty-three votes. This is a most signal and important victory lor Mr. Gladstone and his liberal, progressive policy. After long years of oppression and misrule. England is compelled to perform this act of justice to the Irish nation. Like Catholic emancipation, however, it was wrung fiom reluctant tyrants by an aroused people, not offered as a tribute to the spirit of the age. The London Times bays "that the scandal of Establishment U at the root of Irish alien ation, and that the Lords must inevitably disestablish their prejudices and accept re form. This they are about doing. Rather than increase excitement in ihe country, the anti-conservative Lords will allow the Glad slone policv to prevail. This action is kindred to that which preceded the passage of the Catholic emancipation bill. Then the Duke of Wellington protested ag.iinst the march of improvement, but fell in with the onward column. And in the present instance, while many of the Lords are by no means satis-fied with the Gladstone programme, they quail before the picture of the future presented by that sturdy, but sometimes impracticable reformer, John B.ight. The Coramnn.s. representing the people, mow rules England, and the Lords will not defeat a measure which has the approval of both the Commons and the masef. After the vote of Saturday, we look for the passage of the liiscitablishment bill at an early day.

Raymond This gentleman, so widely and well known as a politician and journalist, died sudde.ily of apoplexy in New York yesterday, at the early age of fcrty-n;ne. Mr. Raymond was born in Livingston county, New York, graduated at the University of Veimonl, in 1840, and soon after removed to the city of New York, whftre b taught the cl.ssrcs, and wrote for the New Yorker, a weekly journal. In 1841. he lecame managing ed.ior of the New York Tribune. Subsequently, he be came connected with the New YorK Courier and Enquirer, and at the same time wasoue of the literary attachees of the firm of Har per and Brothers. Io 1849, he was elected to the Assembly of his native Stale, and was subsequently re-elected and chosen speaker. Mr. Raymond established the New Yoik Times in 1851, and engaging actively in politics, was soon recognised as one of the leading men of the Radical party, and elect ed Senator and Governor of New York. He was a delegate to the Lnicago Convention, and in 1864, became a member of Congress, in the deliberation and debates of which body he took a prominent pait. Mr. Ray mond was likewise a delegate to the National Convention, which assembled in this city in 1866. and the address issued by that body was from his polished pen. As a newspa per writer. Mr. Raymond was terse, concise and pointed, while in oratorical powers he was by no means deficient. His death will cause a gap in the editorial corps of this nation, which cannot be readily filled, while in the social circle, a host of attached friends will mourn his sudden taking oft. FAila. Age, th. The following despatch from Albany shows how tho Republicans remember the sold iers : The Soldiers' ITome in this city has been closed for the lack of an appropriation by the last Legislature for its support, and two hun dred inmates have been taken to the govern ment institution at Augusta, Maine. In this Home were some two hundred men who were so badly maimed and disa bled in the battles of the late war that it was imp sible for them to support them selves, and they were compelled to rely upon the charity of the public and the gratitude of the government for food, raiment, and shelter. For this purpose, they were placed in the Soldiers' Home at the State capitol, the Legislature to provide means for their support. The appropriations have been made every year until the present. The last republican Legislature refused to make any appropriation for these unfortunate men. The result is now seen in the closing of the Home and the transfer of these maim ed soldiers from their own State to that of Maine, to a hospital belonging to the United btates government. Such Is the practical manifestation by the Radicals of their regard for those who were wounded in the service of their country. World. The Plot Deepens.
