RIIIITED STRICTURES.
We give our readers the following
strictures on the New. York World, based
upon its false betray#of the Democratic
party in 1868, and the same snaky coils
are being stealthily drawn around the
vitality of the party at the present
for its defeat in November next. The
only safety is for the honest and fa:tilt:ll
country press to shake off its charm, be
fell, bein'gpoisoned with its venom. The
New York Guardian says:
"Instinctively and incessantly the
World reveals its insincerity. Only a
short time since we quoted its boast of
having "derided" the Democratic plat
form of 1868, and called to mind its at
tempt of that year to thrust from the
course the chosen.candidates of the Demo
cracy.
To-day (Moy 7) it sounds again the
74143-410 to_as ofyore. Listen to the
AtlcivOtifkikt 14adiart4ttaiitiorAe:
'His (Gmeley's) indorsement by the
Democratic party is an open question to
il' our National Convention meets; and
all Democrats are as free to take one side
as the other. To be sore, the question
will be closed, and we shall be bound, when
the Convention has acted.'
The World continues:
'lf, an the other hand, the pry would ,
stultify.itself by indorsing a mat who has
spent his whole life in denounang it, let
it be saved from so egregious a blunder
by timely warning and remonstrance.'
'lf the National Convention overrules
as, we will, of course, submit.'
Thus does the World bind itself,
stultification or no stultification, to accept
the diaigion of the Convention.
Nevertheless, we tell our friends every-
where; again again, and again, that should
the Convention not record as it decrees,
the policy of Belmont, World & Co., but
reaffirm the tariff and financial principles
, of the Convention of 1868, the World
will again deride the "platform," and
throw overboard the candidates; will again
prove false as before."
The Atlanta Sun says: "The efforts of
Mr. Delmont and the New York World.
are to batch some new trick to defeat the
will of the people and betray the Demo
cratic party. Their scheme of betrayal
of their high trust has been baffled at
Cincinnati but let no true Democrat
suppose for a moment that either Mr.
Belmont or the New York World has
abandoned their,common purpose of de
feating, it they can, the possibility of a
a democratic victory on democratic prin
cipleis"
Punishing the Rebel Leaders
The following from the Christian
Union, edited by Henry Ward Beecher,
we think cannot fail to carry conviction
to the mind of every reader. Because it
comes from a Radical source, doe's not de
stroy its pure Democracy, and ive fully
endorse it.' Montrose Republican please
copy. Mr. Beecher says:
"The people of North Carolina lately
thole, through their Legislature, a man
to represent them in the United States
'Senate. There was no doubt about the
fairness of the election. Governor Vance
was as clearly the choice of the people of
North Carolina for their Senator, as
Charles Sumner ever was of the people of
Massachusetts. But Governor Vance be-
longs to the class who are, by the Four
teenth Amendment, excluded from all
State and National offices. Congress has
the power to remove his disqualification,
but Congress does not choose to do so. So,
the Senate declines to admit Vance, and
the people of North Carolina are told
that they Mast find some one else to rep
resent them.
The question comes up with force
tinder finch circumstances: What good
end is-answered by this policy of exclu
sion?
Ekrv. Vance was„tif we - are not mistak
en, an "original Sccessionist." We know
that he was an enthusiastic and efficient
leaderrin the Rebellion—one of the popu
lar " war Governors" of the South. He
fairly represents the class whom a part of
our people are disposed to keep under
perpetual ban. The feeling exists, that
the originators of the Rebellion commit
ted $ terrible crime. The mass of the
&anthem people, it is held, were misled,
or, to Wgreat extent, forced into the war.
Tint the then who plotted the war in ad
vance, load wheeled and coerced the peo
ple -into secession—these must have a
mark of their guilt affixed to them.
We hold this clew to be a mistaken one.
We think it is wrong, that, in assuming
that the rebellion was the work of a few
conspiratons No half dozen men, no
iindre,d or thousand men, carried the
whole South into rebellion. The ship
muss steered by s few, but the engine• that
Awavea it was a whole class—the flower
.and Strength of the Southern people. It
impale young men, the editors, the= law-
yers,.the% politicians, who gave the
ulse. And at the South the politicians
ctretionot the same class as with na. _Pol
lace was the Aaiun& occupation of the
, Southern gentleman. The Most active,
intelligence; enthusiastic clement in the
. 7„hole popnlatlon,,tkus element that nat
',itraßey.leade and dominates in every crisis,
iirigulated and carried out the idea of ,se

-author of the liebellina than Abraham
Lib:mole was the author of loyalty. Each
vvin,aerated s' - ftrist Palmisr aradri62.4.'
Eaclit gave head to a cause where millions
gave heart and Land.
On purely moral grounds, then, it is ab
oard to select a dozen or a thotteand men
at the South at more guilty than oth • ,
and punish them accordingly. It is easy
and convenient to suppose the guilt of
the rebelhon embodied in Jefferson Davis
and Vance and a few more, where it ern
be got at4ind punished. But it is a
wholly false supposition.
There is another thing to be considered.
Why does society punish crime? Not from
the sentiment . .of-abstract justice ; not
that every sinner may feel the suffering .
which sin deserves. We leave such pun
ishment to - the Almighty. Society.
through civil government, punishes for a
practical end—its own protection. It
hangs the murderer, or imprisons the
thief, to keep other men from murdering
or stealing. But if you would so punish
a great rebellion *as to prevent another,
you must punish tremendously. What
does this exclusion of a. few thousand
men from office amount to, as a terror to
would-be rebels hereafter? If we meant
to do that, %re should have punished in
another fashion. We should have hanged

Or . :ffiliwiitiictutpcnt for a century.
Snell a s aftsiVirin been consistent
with the idea of punishing for a warning.
Why did we not do it? Was it weak
ness or sentimentality that restrained us?
Was it pity and magnanimity? It is none
of these, but a simple sense of justice
that keeps a Christian country from such
a course. It was recognition of the fact
that the Southern people deserved no such
treatment, that stayed our hand when the
war was ended. These eight millions of
people were not criminals. They had made
a terrible mistake. They had fought in a
bad cause. And for that they had al
ready paid a fearful penalty. But they
I were an honest and a bravexeople. They
were worthy to be Amelfcan citizens.
While they resisted, we fought them to
death ; we could not do any otherwise.
But when the victory was won, when the
Union was restomd, when - the slave was
a free man and q citizen, then our work
was done. To judge and palish belong
ed to God. Had he not judged—had he
not punished?
The North, in the main, used her vic
tory worthily. Brit we failed•to grasp the
full greatness of the opportunity. On the
whole discarding vengeance, we did not
boldly commit ourselves to the policy of
magnanimity and trust. We did not
punish severely, but we irritated.
It has been supposed that universal
amnesty might lead to the terrible specta
cle of Jefferson Davis again in the Senate
chamber. But which is the alarming
fact—Jefferson Davis in the Senate. or
the people of Mississippi disloyal? If, to
keep Davis and a few other men out of
Congress, we alienate the whole Southern
people, do we gain much by it ? The Sen
ate has rejected Gov, Vance. By doing
so, it has offended and embittered the
constituency that sent him there, the peo
ple of North Carolina. Vance is but a
single man. His presence in the Senate
could have had danger only as he repre
sented a disloyal sentiment among the
Southern people. But whatever disloyal
ty there may have been has certainly been
stimulated and increased by his rejection.
We believe disloyalty is only kept alive at
all by such libts as this Certainly, if the
Southern people may be safely trusted
with the ballot, the men xlio truly repre
sent them may safely be trusted with
office.
This exclusion policy is worse than
locking the door after the horse is stolen.
It is locking the door against the horse's
return. Because a part of our citizens have
once been disloyal, we are taking pains to
keep them so."
Jun So!
We should not think of opposing a candi
date for President betauselie was a Uni
versalist; but we do object to one whose
principles are so very 'liberal" that he
would grant full amnesty to the devil—
and Jeff. Davis.i —lfontross Repuyiean.

Plain Talk About Grant.
Grant's recent"sickness" has been the
subject of remark. Its real natnre is well
understood at Washington and by thou
! sands of people who have been there dur
ing his administration ; and it is not
strange that the frequent recurrence of
these "attacks of illness is ,causing the
newspaper correspondents to speak plainly
upon the subject. As has been well said
it is a sad thing that the following lines
may be written and published about a
President of the United Stales, and under
each' circumstances that tbe:tnasa of the
people who read them, friend or foe, are
forced to believe them trde. We copy
rom a Washington,letter of the 16th, to
he St. Louis Times
Incidentally I mentioned that Mr. Presi
dent Grant was very sick--that's what
the Administration papers said, but every
one understinds what Grant's sicknesses
are. It really was not the delirium tre
mens, but it really was not very different.
When the madam was at home, he was
maintained in very respectable condition,
at least so far as the public knew. But
she's away now, you know, and he's tak
ing every advantage of it. The only time
he has been out during the whole week
was when he went to the circus. His
brother-in-law, Casey of New Orleans, was
at the White House earls y iu the evening.
They had both been drinking, and Grant
insisted upon going to the Circus. All of
Casey's ornaments to the contrary were
in vain—the President insisted, and arm
in arm the two started out.: They attrac
ted attention all along, as they walked to
the show, tint their condition shortly after
arriving there was positively beasily. If
any other than the President of the Unit
ed States had appeared Ulu's drunken in a
place of public entertainment , he would
have been thrown out and banded over to
the police. Grant's face is boated and red,
and the Whitehouse these days is lemmas
for its orgies. , J. H. L
A correspondent of
. the New York
World, two or three weeks ago, spoke it)
equally plain langnage upon the same
subject, thus :
"The President," said an evening paper,
"took his usual Saturday holiday to-day,
and in consequence saw no visitor,"
This explains why the happened to be
lounging at the White House gate when
I passed up the avenue that morning. A
glance at his profile showed that the hot
looking flush on his cheek had not faded,
and that the dissipated aspect of his whole
countenance had not been chastened by
recent self-denial.
The exeeedingly coarse complexion and
unrefined features of unrl, 3 nesident recall
ed to mind the drunken wood-chopper of a
•
forty-acre farm near St. Lou is; the
drunken tanner at $4O a month wages
near Galena; the drunken General at the
St. Charles Hotel, Cairo ; the drunken
companion of President Johnson on his
tour "around the circle"; the Lientenan t-
General who the Independent said "had
been seen unmistakably drunk iii the
streets of Washington "; the dignitary
who reported by the Tribune to have
been seen in the Executive Mansion "so
drunk that he could hardly stand on his
legs;" the President who, as a Senator
remarked the other day; sometimes ap
pears on the avenue "in first-rate spirits."
The phenomenon of this little great man's
sneeess engaged my thoughts during my
walk. Undoubtedly he is one of those
who have greatness thrust upon them:
Bet will the people continue to elevate
and bow down before so very common an
idol ? Or will they, awaken from the
mesmeric state in which they have been
kept by potent politicians, let him topple
into obscurity among his dogs and horses?
The very men, the very politicians here,
who are charting Grant's praises when
ever., they get an opportunity, have the
lightest opinion of him. It is the men
who can use him, and make more out of
him than they could out of an able Presi
dent, who are bawling "Grant! Grant!
Grant!" They despise him in secret, brit
they flatter him to his .face and to the
people. He is their man and it is their
interest to keep him in office. His cabinet,
though it goes sorely against the con
sciences of some of the members—are all
pledged to him. Three or fonr men in
Congress—Coultling, Carpenter, Morton
and company—who have constituted
themselves his special champions, have
thus far been strong enough to lead by
the nose the majority of Republicans.
In the House of Repre3entatiues there is
no enthusiasm for Grant., and probably if
both the Senate and the House were poll
ed and the question privately pot to every
Republican member of, both, "Would yon
prefer to have Grant or another available
cuuFtlate if he can be found ?" Not more
than thirty would answer "Grant." But
the.hig leaders have got their grip on the
the Philadelphia Convention. They form
a ring around Grant which is impregnable
and which enables them to take part in
the control 'of that federal machinery
which manufactures delegates.
No ma who has even a transient inter
course with politicians here at this season
can fail to remark the•:contemptsious esti
mation in which the President is held by
the most paltry of his:so-called "friends.
For my part, I have yet to hear a Re
publican Senator or member of the floors
of Congress praise Grant without some
qualifying . orapolcgetie parenthesis. When
you come face to face with these men they
retsu4n from trying to gull you with
absterrties. They dialike being laughed
at. It is only that great impersonality
the public, that stagy hope to stuff with
their windy nonsense About "Grant."

count of color in the public schools of
Washington and Georgetown ; negatived.
The bill providing that the next federal
- eleetion iu Louisiana shall be hold on the
first Monday in Norember,•Was taken up.
Mr. Trumbull thought it would be setting
a bad precedent; and opposed the bill. At
the expiration of the, morning hour, the
Postotlice Appropriatioo .bill came up.
An amendment abolishine -the ifraisking
privilege was laid on the, table. The bill
being completed iriCoMmittee was report
ed. The Senate then west in executive
session and sion'tifterterds adjourned.
Hol7sE—Under tlie‘oll of States, a
large,number of bills herointroduced and
referred, many being read so as to leave
no time in the morning hour for action
on Mr. Hooper'a supplementary Civil
Rights bill. Mr. Eldridge sent up a
substitute for the Tariff and Tax bill,
with the title altered so as to read "to
further increase taxes and encourage mo
nopolies. without adding to the revenue,"
the reading of which Mr. Cox demanded,
which effectually nod up the morning
hour. Mr. Dawes moved to suspend the
rules and adopt a resolution to make it
in order on the consideration of the Tariff
bill to treat as single paragraphs the
various items relating to iron, steel, cop
per, wool and woodens, and manufactures
of cotton, so that a substitute might be
offered relating to each of these subjects
as a whole. After an explanation by Mr.
Dawes and opposition by Messrs. Cox,
Brooks, of New York, Kerr and Banks,
as a log-rolling proposition, the rules were
not suspended, the vote being yeas, 63 ;
nays, 121. Mr. aloud arose to a personal
statement relative to the meeting at the
Committee at the State Department last
Saturday. He said he understood the
Republican members of the Committee
received an invitation on Friday from
President Grant, which was signed by
General Babcock as his Secretary, inviting
them to meet at the State Department.
At this meeting the Democratic un•mbers
of the Committee had been excluded.
He regarded this as a most unwarrantable
invasion of the rights and privileges of
the House. General Banks replied there
was no formal meeting of the Committee.
He admitted that they received invita
tions signed by General Babcock. The
Speaker ruled that there was no breach of
privilege, and the matter dropped. On
motion of Mr. Poland, the Senate bill to
fund certain liabilities of the city of Wash
ington was passed. The House then
proceeded to vote on the Senate amend
ments to the Deficiency bill. The Mileage
amendment for the-Executive session of
the Senate, wnvened by the President in

Albany, N. Y.; Senate bill allowing a re
bate on whisky destroyed while inhonded
warehouses ; and Senate hill authorizing
the construction of a bridge across the
Missouri. The House then resumed con
sideration of the Senate amendments to
the Deficiency hill. A long discussion
ensued on the amendment reference to
claims for cotton seized by the govern
ment after the war closed, requiring proof
of loyality of claimant. A substunte,
less exciting, was flna'ly adopted. The
Senate amendments to the Indian Ap
propriation bill were taken up and dis
posed of. At 2:20 P. M, the House went
into Committee of the Whole on the
Tariff and Tax bill. On motion of Mr.
Kelley, the enacting chance was struck
out. The fact was reported to the House,
and on motion of Mr. Dawes the bill was
recommitted to the Wave and Means
Committee, with instructions to reduce
the duties to ninety per cent, of the ex
isting rates, except on coal, salt, leather
and pig iron, which are to stand at the
rates reported in the bill originally. Mr.

point that it was not in order. The Vice-
Presitleiat ruled that it was. Mr. Trum
bull appealed from the decision of the
Chair. After disenssion. the appeal was
tabled. Mr. Morton moved to amend by
providing that before any one shall be en
titled to the benefit-of the act, he must

preceding the passage of the act been a
member of the organizations, known us
