Although he was a Re publican, he was too honest and inde pendent to become a thick and thin fctipporter of the sins and iniquities of Gra Uism. and unsparingly denounced the President's high-handed measures towards Louisiana last winter. Mr. Ferry was a gentleman of very con-1 tideiable ability and was highly es temced in his own State as an honest, upright nun. 1 1 is successor will be a Democrat, that party having a major ity on joint ballot in the Legislature. - Under a provision of the new con stitution, the Judges of the Philadel phia Courts are invested with authority to appoint the Prothonotary. There ar twelve Judgs. t n of whom are Republicans, and the other two Dem ocrats. The appointment was made last week, and the notorious Win. B. Minn was the successful aspirant, having received wren votes on the second ballot.X'Whatj is peculiarly odious and offensive about the matter la, that the casting vote by which Mann was elected was given by Judge Kl cock, a Democrat. (Jod may forgive him for his treason, but the Democratic party never will. The very name of Wm. B. Mann is a stench in the nos trils of the eople,and his appointment is a burning insulttothehonestcitizens of Philadelphia. Elcock, whose name should begin with an II, ought now to follow the example of Judas Iscariot. We unintentionally neglected in our last week's isue to expresstour gratifi cation upon the appearance of Col. McClure's daily Philadelphia Ti men In an enlarged form and in a new typo graphical outfit. McClure was at one time a Republican on the square honest in his party convictions and lithusiastie in his devotion to its or iginal principles and policy, of which he was one of the pioneers. But the corruptions of the administration at Washington have disgusted him, ami as the editor of the independent Times he has made his mark in Philadelphia, the home of political thieves, and has given t'.ie Time a name and reputation throughout the entire State, aye indeed the United States, of which he may well feol proud. He is an able man in very respect, and in the noble work of polirical reform, to which he has brought all his well-known ability anil nergr, we wish him unbounded suc cess. mm-m - mm On the day after the late election, and for several days subsequently, the Radical press claimed a .victory in Wisconsin. It was to be expected that such would be the result in a State that for a long timj has elected the Radical State ticket by overwhelming ' majorities, the only exception being the election two years ago of Taylor, Democrat, for Governor, on what is known i:i that State as "the railroad lsue." The otlicial returns of the lection are now published, however, and the much boasted Republican tri- more for ornament than for any sub stantial use. As a party organizer, Hon. Wm. A. Wallace in his capacity of Chairman achieved marked and well-earned distinction, owing mainly to the fact that he held the position for successive years and was not su perceded by a new and inexperienced hand just when he had acquired thor ough knowledge of the work he .vas selected to perform. For this same reason, John G. Thompson, Esq., who for iuaii3" years has leen the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Ohio, is perhaps the most efficient or ganizer in the country. He is bold and aggressive and possesses untiring industry, and his name is as familiar to leading Democratic politicians in every county in that State as house hold words. But after all is said, the work of organization rests mainly with the Chairmen of the different County Committees, and this for many cogent reasons which will readily suggest themselves. A Chairman of a County Committee, if he is an active, energetic man, and is supplied with only a mod erate amount of funds to be expended for purely legitimate purposes, can accomplish wonders. The Chairman of the State Committee may advise and counsel with him, but still the effective work must be done by himself and others whom he may summon to his aid. Our well settled conviction is, that the Chairman of the State Com mittee should be appointed by the Committee itself, and not by the State candidates, as has been the practice for some years, and that he ought never to lie elected by the State convention. Man- reasons for this exist, but we have neither time nor space to give them in detail. We are equally well satisfied that the headquarters of the Committee should lie at Harrisburg, and that there ought to be a sjieeial Chairman appointed by the Committee exclusively to supervise the organiza tion ami perfect the party machinery in Philadelphia, with his headquarters in that city. Of course he should be a resident there a man of positive qualities, well acquainted with the prominent and active men of the party and who enjoys its entire confidence. What satisfactory results can lie ac complished in Philadelphia by a Chair man from another part of t he State, no matter how able and competent he may be, we confess we never could compre hend, lie is comparatively a stranger to her ieople and blissfully ignorant of the dark and crooked ways of the leaders of the Radical partv. We would like the experiment to which we refer tested in that city during the Presidential campaign next year. With a live and wideawake Democrat to conduct it, we have great faith in its success. Intolerance in Geneva. Geneva is not Switzerland, f r Switzer land is the sung hatbur of siifety for polit ical refugees from all parts of Europe, and here opinions may be freely promulgated wbich in Italy, France, Russia, Germany and Austria aredenouncedJw revolutionary and subversive of order. In Switzer land opposed t be demands of Count Mole almost to tlie point of war sooner than ex jel the refugees who had taken shelter within her borders. But Geneva is not Switzerland. In 1875 Geneva has expelled the Catholic Sisters of Charity in spite against the Catholic bishop, with whom the authorities of the town happened to hare a quarrel. This totally inexcusable act is all cf a piece with the Geneva for some centuries a career of distinguished intolerance and fanaticism. Coppet is near Geneva, but the genius of liberalism which Madame De Stael personified has re fused to penetrate within the city. Pes-t talozzi did not successfully combine the lesson of charity with his excellent educa tional scheme. Ferney in right under the walls of Geneva, but the spirit of Voltaire, who fought so nobly for the Calas family, lias never entered within those walls. Yet it would seem as if toleration should be the natural growth of a place so situated and with such a history ; the blue Lake Lo man, with its arrowy Rhone ; the sublime landscape, an ever-changing, ever-enchanting progiamme of vivid life clinging to the knees of barren, desolate mountains ; the eternal vista of peaks, cliffs, glacieis such a land, such a scene freedom loves inevita bly. And freedom and men have always clung here to this, the ancientest city prob ably in Europe, that was peopled while yet the lake had no existence save as an ex tension of the Rhone glacier beyond there; a city before it wore Ctosar's yoke ; a city when the rude Burgundians made it their capital ; when the Ostrogoths ruled there, and the Franks succeeded, and the second Burgundian state; and the barons and bishops ; the Counts of Savoy, and then, in 1-V55, the republic, free and autonomous, until in 1S13 it joined the Swiss Confedera tion. A free state, a free city, schooled in misfortune, with education universal, pub lic spirit strong and sustained, excellent municipal policy, admirable municipal prac tice, this Geneva should be the most tnler- The Revival of Know Xothinyism.

Geneva profited i-ntiut oy inese exploits oi leu, f urst and Jlelcb tal. The book of the laws and privileges of Geneva, drawn up by the Catholic Bishop Adhemar Fabri, is a sort of GeneTeso Mag na Charta. Under this code Geneva be came a great commercial centre, a mart and a free city. Enterprise Hocked to it; refu gees congregated there. Among them was John Calvin. Calvin instituted Puritanism, the natural congener of which was intoler ance and domestic espionage. The spirit of this sour and morose law-giver has brood ed over the city ever since. It was Calvin who burnt Serve! ns at the stake, refused bread to the starving Casfalis, and substi tuted for the laws of Adhemar his own code, forbidding to wear slashed hose and doublets, and making hair ornaments, card- j playing and fashionable shoes felonious of- ! lenses. j We hare no wish to deny that Calvin ! purified Geneva, consolidated and strength- ; ened her institution, that he was a great 1'iornier ami ine founder tt a tiemennous aiiicii excitement is created at the Cirque d'lfiver, Paris, over a gymnast who allows himself to be shot from a mortar to the upper end of his trapeze rope.

If the south takes its stand by inflation the north will at once say that it is in league with the demagogues of the north to discredit the government, aud inevitable defeat will follow. But if the democracy plants itself firmly on a hard money platform he thinks they can carry the country beyond all rea sonable doubt, and gives these reasons for his faith : "You see, it is coTfessed on all sides, and clinched by Mississippi's work last week, that the democrats will carry the south solid, except South Carolina.
