The Administration of Grant not the
Government.
In order to get a butter understand.
ing of tlie dill'eronco between admin
istiution and government, and to tin-
munk tlio supreme villainy of tba
majority In Congress, (wo cannot kit
tlicm off on tlio moro liberal pica of
idiots), we will nttemiit lo defino tlie
three principle; kinds of govern moot
eslablielicd among tlio people.
1. Tuko our own government,
known as tho government of tho
people, called Democracy demos km
tco tho govornment of the pooplo.
Hero tho reader will observe a wide
distinetion between administration
and tho government. Tho adminis
tration is simply tho servant of the
people, or tho agent of their powers,
which they have in thoir sovereign
capacity of States delegated to thorn.
Tho people aro tho government tho
aovoreign.
2. Wo havo oristocraey arisloi
kratro tho government of a privi
leged few. In this form tliore is also
a distinction betweon tho government
and the admiiiielrntion, the Lord.
Nobles, ic, exercising all the powers
of tho Slate. Tho government re
sides in them, but is practically ad
ministered by tho king und his minis
ters. 3. Tlio pare monufthy monos km-
tco or government of one man. In
this form tho government and admin
istration are precisely ono and tho
an mo. Tho monureli lias absolute
power, and wields it himself.
It must not bo understood, however,
that in n democracy I ho government
is nil in the hands of the people f. e.,
not in all tho human beings who ro
sido within the jurisdiction of the gov
ernment. Women and aliens and ne
groes are not included in the govern
monlof this country. They rightfully
form no part of tho constituent clo
mcnt of the sovereignty. If they did,
tho govornment would bo a pan kraieo.
The revolutionists of the Republican
party aro endeavoring to fix and ex
tend tho area of sovereignty so as to
make it embrace negroes. They do
not proposo to include- women and
aliens, but only niggers. They no
glect no opportunity to tench tlie
manses that all this country needs to
mako it tho most glorious on earth, is
tho addition of the Congo clement lo
tho constituent olement of our own
sovereignty, Upon women and whito
foreigners they do not wixli to bestow
this new distinction. All they scorn
to want is that negroes anil whito
male citizens shall constitnte this gov
ernment, and when they got this
proud aim accomplished, it is not hard
to sco that our government will neith
er bo a democracy nor a pnnocrmy,
but a govornment of hybrids, nocding
a now name, for which tnuleocracy
will answer. What a delightful dream
tho idea of these mud men embraces!
A nation of human mules 1 Slutdo ol
Dcmocritus, presorvo us! A mulatto
or a full-blooded nigger eligiblo to the
offlco of President 1 Tho idea should
disgust evon Grant. A majority of
both Houses of Congross and tho Sti
prome Court may bo negroes. l!y
their theory, thero is nothing to pro
ven! tho adminiHtrnlion of tho govern
ment from being wholly in tho hands
of negroes. This is tho thoory nf
Now England politicians. They claim
that this never can be n free country
until the negroes receive till tho rights
of citizenship. It is tho doctrine of
radical politicians everywhero, nnd
all their efforts aro made to embody
it In our form of government. And
if lbs Dumocnttio party continues in
tbo passive or cowardly polioy that
bits cursed it for tho IuhI four years,
this country must fall in to tho pool of
miscegenation, nt no very remote day,
and the government will bo emphat
ically o mulcoerney, and tho ndminis
tralion, by tho dominance of Now
England, ono of negroes and cream
colors.
Disgusting as this Ideomoy bo, It
cannot bo more so lo a majority of tlio
pcoplo of tbo Slates than Abolition
was thirty yours ago. The older mon
know that thirty years ago It was not
very sufu for Abolitionism to slick its
bead very fur otitsido of the Now
England flat. and, in fot, was not
lolerutod in somo of thorn. But to
day a nogro administration muy bo
aavocatod with considerable of. ap
plause in churches,, lecture rooms,
school houses,- anywhere. ' Wo read
Dot long since, tho utterances of a
prominent Abolitionist, that tho titno
must como when a negro would sit in
tho seat of the Chief Justice of the
United States. This prodiclion is nl
ready half fulfilled, for that honored
chair is ovon now filled by a white
mau with negro principles. The ad
ministration of "the government is
iftw in tbo bands of while men with
negro principles, nnd everything con
nected with it leans to tho negro sido.
Tho government may still ba claimed
to bo whita, but tho administration is
black. ' It would not bo blacker if It
were in the hands of negroes. The
idea of Grant and Sumnor and their
partisans, that tho government and
the fdiniiiiHtration aro one and tho

uivtit, of the put.lio monrvs in cutiforuiily to the
general appropristions of (ho legislature, tlio ar
rangement of the army and navy, the direction of
tor uporatten of war: these, and other matters of
a like nature, constitute what seems to be must
properly understood by the administration of
government.
Our Republican roadors will not re-
fuso to accept the authority of Mr.
Hamilton. Wo quote him because, of
all the men who livod and figured in
the foundation of our government, ho
porhnps moro fully represented tho
men of tho centralizulionists. His
definition, as abovo, is correct. In no
st nso whalevor does it mean govern
ment, oxoept in nn absoluto monarchy.
In our system, the whole federal orga
nization is simply an acl mi ti intra t ion,
but in no sense a government. Grant
and bis co-conspirators are laboring to
change Administration into Govern
ment. The govornment is In "the
peopl of the icveral Stiitcs." The ad
ministration is trying to tuko the
govornmont from tho pooplo and vest
it in itself. This is not only rovolu
tioV luit.. f olona by armed force, ns
Grant has done in tho Western State
of Illinois and in several of tho South
ern Stales, and will doubtless soou at
tempt in Louisiana, it is treason.
Should ho declare martial luw, for
which bo is aching for a pretext, in
Louisiana, he should, to vindiuule tho
law of that Stuto and of every other
Stole, be arretted and tried for treason,
aud hanged for overthrowing tho
Constitution und laws of the Slnloa by
military power. His whole system ot
military districts and military com
missions, sustained by tbo presonco of
armed forces in these olherwiso peace
ful States, is an ovorthrow of tho gov
ernment of these States. It is war
upon the sovereignty of these Slutes ;
just as tnuclrsD as if the same crime
of sending nrmod forces into tho
States was committed by France,
Russia or Spain, (ion. Grant, ul
lliotigh President of tho United .States,
has no more right to ussume tho du
ties and functions of tho State gov
ernment than the Emperor of Prus
sia has, and much less right to over
throw ll.o orgauio mid statute laws of
uny Stall1.
For what Grant has already dono,
it is tho duly ol Congress td impeach
him, nnd puts it within the power of
tho Stuto governments to hang him.
And not only him, but every ono ol
his generals and subordinates who
have cxcuulcd his illegul orders. The
admirers of theso creatures of our
gifted President will find little conso
lation for tho crimes (f thoso who
vainly shield themselves behind the
ortors of thuir superiors. When
roiuon resumes her place in tho coun
try and jttslieo holds her balances
even, thoso who committed crimes
by order of hrutnl and ignorant Presi
dent, may find that they have no
justification under a pure and written
law. Sheppard, on page 13 of his
"Constitutional Law Hook," says, and
this truth is ullirmcd by every honest
jtuo and slatosmun in the land :
' t belongs to tho Etooutive department tn ese
eut every law winch Congr-ss has the CoHslitu
ri'one nNrAitri'f to enact. Hut If the President

'flie fate of old John Brown in Vir

Slices that have been thus outraged
innK some day take it into thoir beads
lo lissurt their rights, and ll'lhey do,
we'will havo many moro loyal "souls

the effort now being mndo by tho
party in power to mako Administra
ting Government will, if successful,
eml tho rupublio and establish an oni
pits or nn absoluto monarchy. This
the people of nil tho Slatos can do, il
they plcaso. That is if they by a fair

they hnvlnj nil agreed to it. But the

adtninistralionha in itself no power
to mako such a chango, and tbolr at
tempt to do so has rendered them Just
as liublo to punishment as any other
great criminal or violatcr of the law,
no mntter what his offenco may bo.
Tho difference betweon Administra
tion and Government is as groat as
that betweon grantor and grantoe, or
betweon a principal and an ogent in
law. ' i
A few duyg ago tho vindictive and
devilish spirit of the parly in potvor
was cxprcssod in the United Statos
Senate by Sumner, in hia speech on
tho Amnesty Bill and the Civil Rights
nicastiro, which shows to what extont
theso men would prostituto tho gov
ernti.ont and liborty in order to make
all subservient to their administra
tion. After reading a muss of letters
and memorials and petitions and vol
umes of trash, sent and signed wholly
hy niggers, of course tho opinions and
prayers of whito men aro not respect
ed by this deformed specimen, who,
it appears, "lacks the attributes of
men." He concluded with on appeal
to pass the supplementary civil rights
bill, "so that tho rebels might always
r? member that amnesty came to them
couplod with justice to tho colored
raro.
Ruro languago to bo spoken by a
Scuutor of the United Stales, against
a people whom Ibey have stricken
down, made bankrupt in oasti but not
in honor, and who, lo complete the
triumph of the fanatic, must bo hu
miliated by tho niggers the adminis
tration bus stolen from them. To ef
fectually do this, the whole power of
the government is lo bo invoked by
this supplementary and Illegal mon
strosity. There is no right, and Con
gress can pass no law that will make
a right, by which military rulers or
niggers can be imposod upon tho
Southern pcoplo. But there is a right
which God has given every man, to
kill every wretch who shall consent to
be tbo tool of tho ty runny of the ad
ministration. Sumner is sowing the
seeds for a torrifio harvest of wrath,
for the fuluro if not for ourselves. If
wo treat tho SouiUru whito pcoplo
ho proposes, they ought to halo us,
and all that remains of uti, to our ro
molest postority. They would bo
dogs lo ever forgive such insults. Nor
will tho scales of eternal justice ever
bo even until they aro avonged of this
stupendous wrong.
Congress bus no more right to es
cape the penally of wrongdoing than
individuals have. They cannot cs
capo it, covor up their despotism as
they may by all softs of foolish con
gressional enactments and semblances
of law. They will still roll out of
their graves like hot, seething, invisi
ble devils, to scourge and worry you,
Mr. Charles Sumner, through all timo.

ishncss lo keep on throwing hot and
corrosive acids into tbo already boil

seems to be mad, but, alas 1 the mad
ness of nations seems sometimes to be
a sin that tho Almighty will not for
give. Iu forty centuries of history, it
has boen tho forerunner of destruc
tion. No government can long sur
vivo which is based upon cruelty and
spito. It ought not to survive. It is
tho right and duty of all men lo de
stroy any government that seeks only
to enslavo its people. Thero is Buch a
word as allegiance, but no brave man
owes allegiance to a government not
of his own choice or free adoption,
and much less to ono which oppresses
him. It is Iho divino and Invaluable
right of any pcoplo to destroy un nd
ministrnlion, or oven a govornment,
which opprcasos them, in tho shortest
manner and by any menus they may
8oo fit to uso. This was the doctrine
of our forefathers. It is the doclrino
of great and good men in all the ages
of tho world. The opposite theory is
tho invention of tyrants. Its odvo
cities wero always fools or knaves.
Oppression is not government.

A Credit Mark for Jamoa Buchanan,
A correspondent relates a conversa
tion with Hon. Jeremluh 8. Bluek,
who told him tho following Incidont:
"Times havo sadly Changed," said
the old man, looking into his glass of
hock wine as if striving to read tho
reason for tho chango, liko an old as
Irologor with his drop of wutor. "I
romember once while I was In the
oabinot of Mr. Buchanan, the Harriet
Lano was finished and furnished, and
tho captain, vory proud of his beauti
ful little boat, called on Cobb and pro
posed that on her triul trip a parly
should be mado Dp of distinguished
people, including Jdiss Lano, sad he,
llie captain, would see to tho entor
tainmont. Cobb thouirU tl.ia was a
superb notion, and tho party was in
vited. It included members of tho
cabinet, their wives, Miss Lano nnd
others. It was thought beneath tho
dignity of tho President to go on stih
a aprco. I was invited, but declined.
Tho day beforo tho vossol sailed, Mr.
Buchanan said to mo, in his querulous,

"Well, Black, aro you going to leave

"No, I can't go; but I P mako a

"I doubt it. Ml toll you what I'll

"I did as rcqucstod. Tho next dsy
tho papers contained an account of
the ufluir : at least of tho depurture of
tho party witli ull tho preparations,
and tho President reading it, asked
me who was to pay for that party. I
told him that in my private opinion
Iho Secretary would bavo the trial

I'll stop that," ho exclaimed. "I'll

"Somo days after indeed at the
noxl Cabinet moetinir tho President
asked Cobb if ho could give him a bill
of tho extra expenses attending the
triul trip of the Harriet Lano. Cobb
said promptly that ho could. After
separating, Cobb followed mo out, und
touehinp- my el"v suit! : "What the
devil does the squire mean by that bin
of expense.,?" 1 told him of what
had passed. Uu indulged in a pro
longed whistle and departed. At our
next mooting of the cabinet tho bill
wns produced. 'What's this what's

Cobb; 'I paid it, of course who should

I may say, tho administration smiled

BP-asa,
Where did our Indiacn dome 7rgmv
The lutesl Intelligence fiom our Pa,
cifio const roporls that Japanese,
junk had como sshoro on one of tho
islands of Alaska, wilh three living
Japanese nn board. ; The vessel had
boen disablod In a storm off Japan,
and bad driftod two thousand flvq
hundred miles In nine months, lwonty;
Ibreo of tho crow perishing from hun
ger and exnosuro. The striking oc,
eurronoo is by no moans unparalleled.
Just forty yours ago, a Japanese vessel
with living moo on board, camo ushorq
near tho moulk of tho Coluuibiu river,
in Oregon. It bad a cargo of rico,
and the crow consequently hud enough
to eat, though their only drink was
water from occasional ruins. Such,
occurrences assist greatly in explain
ing how America was pooplcd a ques
tion vory porploxing lo our ancestors,
though lulu geographical and ethno
logical researches show clearly tha(
Ihero is very litllo jnystery about it.
The Jupaneso are evidently of Iho
samo ruco with our Indians, theie
language being to some extent sltnilas
to those of our tribes; and it Is not at
all unlikely that, during the thousand
of years lo which Japanese history
goes back, many vessols muy have
flouted from their shores to ours, boar
ing living persons of both sexes. But,
even if it wore impossible for them to
cross tho ocean,t t is certain that Asiatics
could easily make their way to Amer
ico across Behring's Straits, or by thq
Aleutian Islands, the distances bo
twocn which would beau oasy voyngo

Ho wns familiar, by long personal ob

them and tlio tribes on tlio Amoor.
Ho is a man of pluin common sense.
wilh a mind not obfuscated by ethno
logical or antiquarian studies; and
tlio idea had appurcntly never entered
his head that the Amoor tribes wero
not Indians. Their uppcarance, their
garments, thei.mode of life, and tho
lodges In which they dwelt, ho said,
wore oil similnr to those of the natives
of Oregon. Their language, also,
seemed to bim very much the snmo,
though, ol course, ho had no critical
knowledge of their dialects. Taking
this resemblunco for grunted, tliore
fore, and thero being no great difficul
ty in crossing tho ocean by way of
the Aleutiun Islands, even in canoes,
there is no longer any mystery about
the poopling ol America. Dr. Lei
Plongeon, a learned gentleman, now
in our city,' in fact, maintains, aftor
long study of Peruvian antiquities,
that civilization and population origi
nated on this continent, and that llie
arts, customs, manners and religions
of the Chinese, the Hindoos, the As
syrians and Kgyptiotis arc only de
veloped imitations of Peruvian origi
nals! It is well known that, accuril

land that rose above the ocean that
formerly covered the surface of tba
earth.
Drugs and Medicines.
A bill is now in tho Legislature of
ibis Stnto for the pnrposo of regulat
ing tho sales of medicines and poisons,
and preventing tho udulterulion of
drugs nnd medicinal preparations
We are not ncquailed with tlio specifio
manner in winch thoso points aro pro
posed to4ie reached by the bill in ques
tion. But that thoy should bo reach
ed no ono will doubt who has bad ex
perience in the manner in which med
icines aro sold, and drugs nnd modi
cinul preparations adulterated in Ibis
city. In many of tho drug stores
young men and boys aro intrtistod,
wilh tho compounding of proscriptions
and sulo of poisons, who nave little or
no knowledge of the various articles
called for, and hence mistakes are of
frequent occurrence. Thoso which
result in tho death of tho persons for
whom the drugs ore intended, come
to tho public oye nnd are commented
upon. But Ihero are hundreds of eases
where tho giving of a wrong medicine
undermines tho honllh of patients.
Theso are not reportod. Poisons too
are bundled by uninstructed youths,
and that more deaths do not occur
from that cause is a wonder, when all
the facts are considered. The luw
should prevent tho pmpiiolorsof drug
stores from allowing mon to compound
prescriptions nnd dispense drugs until
they were prepared for such a highly
responsible post by somo satisfactory
examination. IMiysiciuns must study
long and hard, and undergo a rigid
examination before they aro allowed
10 practice. Why bIiouIJ riot those
who put up the prescriptions of theso
men Le compelled to understand what
they are doing f This wholo mutter
has been fully considered in New
York and a law pa-sed, establishing a
"Hoard for tho examination of nnd
licensing druggists and preseriptioq
clerks in tho city of New Vork."
This Board was organized in June
mni., mo lour guntlcuiun composing it
bearing high professional reputatiou,
snd in July lust commenced examina
tions. Their duties have boen arduous
and delioalo, mid they bavo just sub
milted their report of operations for
tho six months ending Decvimbcr
21, 187 1. Tlio Bonid has examined
and passed thrco hundred and six
druggists and three hundred and sixty
clerks, to each of whom a properly
eertilied diploma has been awardea.
Of tho clerks twohundred and twenty,
llireo passed on the first examination;
ninety-two wero Huceessful on thoijr
socond ossnyul; sixty who wero re
jected on first examinations, failed to
appear for n socond liiul, and forty
five who bavo never appeared for ex
amination, we suppose, may lo pre
sumed to have "quil the business," a,
11 would bo illegal for them longer to

that Ihero aro "about 1 ,000 porsotm
engaged in putting up proscriptions"
in New York, ol whom ubout two

had failed lo appear for examination.
