So the boy grows up with very slight idea of his duty to his country, and having once at tained his najority, retaining the faith in which he has been taught, very rarely becomes a faithful citizen after year. He either goes through life witboit caring to exercise his right to vote at all, or, Without intentional wrong-doing, allows bis vde to be borne along with the current opinion of (hose arotnd him. This kin of training, or want of training, Is all wrong.Ue Philadelphia Sunday Prat alleges, wrong lathe premise on which it is based, and wrong in tie conclusions to be drawn from them, if they were correct.

Politics, as a practice, is The reopening of the political war on the South may be set down to the account of the hopes which are involved in it. By hopes, the Boston Pott remarks, we of course mean only those which the desperate managers of the Republican party entertain in respect to the acquisition 01 power. They see a chance to gain control of the next House of Representatives if they can by any contrivance suppress and change the revolt of the elections in certain Southern States. This is the particular plot which brings Zack cnana-i Waahinirton at the present time, and utrm fcim into close personal communion with the President -There is mischief abroad when .11 the wav from Michigan to Wash- U9 Vvuius ington'to Bee the President, with whom he has been on no terms at all since the latter; it. he went to the White House t.

nt That mean precisely t.wTams meant on the UM UW U1J wwm m.v. -ction, which re- suited in a complete change of front of the Republican journals, after they ba fairlv sriven no the result to the Democrat body pretends to know in just what way ler designs to steal enough Southern Congressmen to give the Republicans the next House of Representatives, but it is no less a fact that that is his plan, and that that is what he means when he speaks of stiffening np the President. Having met with such unexpected success in stealing the Presidency, the chief conspirators feel warranted in trying to steal Congress. Under the present law, which give absolutelyto each branch the full power to decide upon the qualifications of its members, it is no easy matter to go behind the supreme authority; but where there is a will there is a way, and it is fast hncomiiur clam that the machinery of the Federal Government, which still happens to be in Republican hands, is to be worked with all possible energy for the suppression of the popular voice in the Southern States, through. Judges, Marshals, and all the other agent who represent it in the States to be victimized.

The problem likewise involves the creation of an artificial sentiment at the North on a basis of wickedly false representations concerning the South; in other words, the bloody-shirt ia to be waved with new vigor and the President's Southern policy, so-called, is abandoned. The mild and pigeon-liv-ered followers of the party are already parroting their set phrases, about the President's having given the South a fair chance and the South 's having rebelliously refused to accept it. The game is set, and the players are ready. Business, about which the Republican journals were so very sensitive a few weeks ago, is to be left to take care of itself in the surges of the sea of sectionalism which may yet swamp everything which the nation hold precious. ftecer stebesexu The full returns from the First District of New Jersey show that Secor Robeson, or Rob-son, or Robberson, owes his election solely to a division in the Democratic ranks, remarks the New York Sun.

Had it not been for the unwise course of the Democratic Convention in nominating Stratton, a candidate who could command only a small part of the vote of his party, Robeson's impudent canvass would have come to naught. Stratton received 6,217 votes; Grosscup, the Greenback Democrat, and Robeson, 14,904. If the entire anti-Robeson vote had been given to one man, that man would have been elected by a majority of The First District of New Jersey would then have been spared the shame of being represented in Congress by a criminal who ought to occupy a penitentiary celL It is no secret in Camden and in Philadelphia that Robeson's money procured the nomination if Stratton by the Democrats precisely as it procured his own nomination by the Republi cans. This colossal plunderer goes to Congress, it is true, to the disgrace of the First District of the State of New Jersey and of the whole country; but he goes as the representative of only a min ority of the First District. He proclaims him self vindicated by the people.

Happily for the good name of the inhabitants of South ern New Jersey, Robeson's election is anything but a vindication. Three thousand Republicans who voted for Sinnickson two years ago refused to vote for Robeson this year, and, as the direct result of his candidacy, for the first time in twenty-six years the First District has given a majority against a Republican candidate. Perhaps it is well for the cause of justice and good morals that this man is to "come out of the shadow and stand again where The Sun can thine right on and around and through him. 1 be Fox Libel law. In Brandt Encyclopedia occurs thi, in relation to the law of libel in England: "Before the 32 Geo.

3, c. 60 (Fox's Act), on a criminal trial libel, the jury were not allowed to take the whole question into consideration, and return a general verdict of guilty or not guilty; but could only decide upon the publication, and whether the libel meant that which, it was alleged in the libel to mean the Court alone taking it upon itself to determine the criminality or innocence of such meaning. Now, however, in libel, as previously in all other criminal cases, it is competent to the jury to apply their judgment to the whole question, and return a general verdict of guilty or not guilty." This is the law of England, a monarchical government the nation from which our common law is derived. Yet here in this boasted Republic, the most liberal govern mental system in the world, at this day, udges and lawyers, sitting as the framers of a new Constitution for this State, propose to go back to the time of George III. before the passage of Fox's Act, aud reimpose the monstrosity of the Star Chamber procedure in the trial of persons ac- used of libel These are Progressionists in the noble profession of the law, and also conservators it justice, with a vengeance.

Why not further override or disregard the Federal Constitution and abolish grand and trial juries entirely Man ifestly, the inclination is not lacking. Keeping l'p timj Fawkes Day. To this day there are people in England who perpetuate the remembrance of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in the reign of James and the Pall Mall Gazette ot November 8th thus relates how some of them observed it: "The celebration of Guy Fawkes Day in London on Tuesday was unusually tame. The Ameer Shero Ali waa the prominent figure carried about. At Lewes the usual procession and fire-work displays took place, and the town was in an uproar until midnight.

At Brighton a body calling themselves the 'Borough Bonfire Boys, by permission of the town authorities, went through a series of performances on the Level, a large open space at the northern end of the town. Bonfire were lighted, and effigies stuffed with fire-works were burned after being condemned by a mock 'Lord Bishop, dressed in full canonicals. The effigies represented the Pope, Guy Fawkes, Shere Ali, and a clergyman, who, after being for a long time a minister at St. Bartholomew's Church, Brighton, recently joined the Church of Rome with several members of the congregation. The burning of the laet effigy was followed by the de struction of a model of St.

Bartholomew' Church, which is close to the spot where these proceedings took place. partial SwaTrage. Impartial suffrage, the Baltimore American, Radical, can be made the foundation of purity and excellence in government if the respectable and property-owning classes in our great cities will but take aa lively an interest in public affair as manifested by the low and depraved element. The remedy for the apparent mischief of tho day does not lie in any move ment to disfranchise these unworthy voters, but it does lie in the activity of good citizens, their keen sense of responsibility with regard to their public duties and their employment of the ballot as the omnipotent weapon of right and justice. The way to vindicate the suffrage is to make it tell for freedom and progress, and that can be done if substantial and intelligent men will die.

charge the obligations which they incur by the very fact of their citizenship. Too Transparent. That a Republican Administration steeped to the lips in election frauds and which owes its existence to the basest cheating at the ballot-box and perjuries in making up the returns, should now put on white robes of purity of elections, the Baltimore Gazette thinks, is too transparent a fraud to deceive the American people. The de facto President is only permitted to retain the eat which he obtained by fraud because, like a bullet near a large artery, it may be lea danger, oua to the body-politic to leave him there than to take him out. To extract him is not worth the inflammation he would cause; but still let him not imagine that even his own office-holders believe that he waa elected.

In their hearts they all know him for a fraud. The Republican will not be able to build anything substantial on such a lounaauon. THE DAIIIC OF CALIFOHtD 8AN FRANCISCO. CAPITAL. WILT tAM THOfc BROWN a MUhSAY, JR.

A review of the year will satisfy the searcher that, while there is much to grieve over, there is more to be thankful for. The Constitutional Convention has adjourned until Monday which is certainly a benefit and a mercy alike; but still it has not adjourned without day.

Re" The great question agitating Washington, the Cincinnati Enquirer doolaree, is whether Koe-ma Conklina will cell upon the President. Why could not the honorable genta compromise and shake hands in the streets? The AtlanU Conttitution says: Mr.

Hayes looks well in red shirt. But he cannot attract the seriotuj attention of the colored voter. Mr. If ayes is the most belated Republican that ever chejiged hie costume she In a very few days, remarks the Baltimore Gazette, Congress will begin grinding, and the man who cannot pay tie debta will begin to talk about the way In which the "business interests ef the country are being disturbed. Re" The Indianapolis Journal, Radical, aaya: Too much politics and too frequent elections constitute a serious defect in our system and detract materially from that stability of government which Is essential to business prosperity and a healthy national development.

mr It is a little ominous, suggests the St. Louis Timet, that we hear nothing of late about the rant movement. The thing gets along very well on the eastern side of the Atlantic; but on this shore of the sometime stormy water, it is safe to say that the Grant movement is a boom erang. gr The Philadelphia Timet says: The Grant movement ia booming again, ae it always does when there is a lull in about everything else. We don't believe Grant can have the support of Philadelphia, however, till he has declared himself on the subject of reduction of street-car fares.

mr After the Hon. Zack Chandler left the White House the other day and was walking down the street, he was met by a friend who asked him where he had been, so the Buffalo Courier alleges. Turning back and pointing at the White House he said: "I have been np there to stiffen np mr Ben Lefevre, member elect from Ohio, is the first Western Democrat to arrive at Washington, who expresses doubts as to the ultimate success of the Greenback idea. He says that the movement commenced too late; that the country is now striking hard-pan, confidence is restored, and that he does not think the Greenback idea will continue to be strong. mr The Philadelphia Timei It is only a little while before the President will present his annual message.

The announcement is made that he will improve the occasion to tell just what his oeition is upon the Southern question, which everybody will be glad to hear; but it might be quite as important if he, or somebody who know ae much as a President, if not more, would let the public know what the Southern question is, anyway. mr Hayes and John Sherman were disputing about the question of which one would outlive the other, the Washington Pott asserts, when John said: "111 bet a chip that I will outlive you. You are the head of the old fraud serpent, and though I cannot aspire to the sole dignity of being the tail, yet I am a very prominent rattle Upon it, and you know, the tail always dies tT The New York Herald says: If the Demo, crate are wise, they will make haste to pick np again the old Democratic principles which they dropped a good many years ago, and without which they never fought anything but a losing g.ime. As a hard-money, honest dollar, equal rights part), they used, about a generation ago, to carry the country with great "reliability" majorities. I a those days they were also, ae now, the party of economy; but they knew where and how to economise.

mr The Republicans bad no objection to the olid South in the Forty -first Congress, remarks the New York World. In that body they had twenty-two Southern Senators and the Democrats only two, and they had fifty-two out of the sixty-three Southern Representatives admitted. Perhaps if they had sent decent men to Congress and behaved themselvee otherwise tn a decent and politic manner the solid South would not have melted and crystallized so suddenly into a new form. mr The Richmond (Va.) Diepatek says: The sooner the North makes np its mind that it has nothing to do with the internal affairs of the Southern States the sooner will a real peace settle down upon the country. It is insufferable that the people of one State should undertake to dictate the policy of another State, or attempt to Interfere in any manner with its internal economy.

It does not alter the case because a dozen States or more unite and act through Congress. The whole thing is wrong. mr The Philadelphia Chronic! publishes these paragraphs: The difference between a farmer and a politician is that one stuffs turkeys, while the other stuff ballots. There is no truth in the report that Zack Chandler has become President of a blue-ribbon temperance ae. ociation.

The report that the President wears corsets originated from the fact that he has recently displayed a little backbone. Connecticut has two Barnnm, Democrat and Republican, and every time this Barnum is elected to office the other Barnum is defeated. mr The Boston Pott paragraphs thus: The National Greenback party has got such an attack of asphyxia ae fixes 'em. The Washington Pott say Joe Johnston talks as he fights, that Is, bravely. The Sun aaya Forney Pro- grett ought to be called the Retrograde, because it supports Grant for Hayes seat.

Frank Murphy would like to decorate Grant as Knight of the Blue Ribbon, but he has an idea that Grant would decline with thanks, Hares acknowledges that he has charge of a Civil Service Southern Policy safe, but denies that he has turned ever the keys and revealed the combination to the conspirators, mr The Cleveland Plaindeahr says: The Greenback party was only beneficial to the Republicans. It elected the Republican ticket, and made secure the election of Don Cameron, the hardest of all hard-money men. In Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Connecticut the Democrats were defeated by the Nationals, who played Into the hands of the men who have always been the defenders of the banks and monopolist. It is certain that in all these States thousands who voted the Greenback ticket have discovered how they were duped, and are coming back in droves to the old Dr' mocracy. The Republicans talk a .1 solid North, remarks the St.

Louis Republican but if they will set about making a pyramid of the States where they cast a majority vote they will find their solid North cut down to mortifying proportions, One block of their reduced pyre-mid would be made out of Kansas, in which the Republican vote in si ty-t wo coun ties was 70,787 and the Democratic and Greenback vote together 66,969, but there Is not a doubt that if the lines were drawn sharply ia that State between the Republican ticket with resumption ia gold and the Democratic ticket and resumption in silver, the Democrats would sweep the State. Yet that is about the shape things are taking now. The New York Evening Pott says Is 1857, the American, or Know-Nothing candidate for Secretary of Stat in New York, received 66,882 votes out of 639,789, or more than twelve per centum of the whole. In the, tvinWiUM the third party polled 50,880 votes for Governor out 01 a tocai 01 or more than ten per eentum of the whole. Yet.

in th uu, jour this third party in New York had not a separate owe ior a single state office in the field. The American party of New York was stromrer ia 1857 and in 1MM back party ia to-day, but it fell to pieces without securing a single substantial victory.

IT-ATaD utjt. a man to save him pi iyea out among tot girls, generality cerrupt; aa a theory, a science, it has nothing necessarily corrupt about it. A very small percentage of those who have to do with the science of politics the voters ever have anything to do with it as a practice or become candidate. None but men weak in moral character, business principles, and things in general. will be so weak aa to contribute, to any great ex tent, to the mass of corruption that is to be found in politics.

In that as in every other affair of life they accomplish harm rather than good, but that is no more the fault of politics than it is the fault of the legal profession in gen eral that a Judge gives an unjust decision. But, granted that politics is a seething vor tex ml a motion. how is it ever to become anything else 'unless inoomrrttf ble men take an interest in it, and lift it up gradually to a purer condition. A young man may know he ia not smart enough ever to set a river on fire, but he must not on that account fail in performance of his individual duty. If he says never a word about it, but gives an hour or two of careful consideration to the issues at stake and the characters of the men put forth for the offices, draws his own conclusions and casts his vote, he performs his duty to just that extent.

If he takes part in efforts for one aide or the other, he need not be corrupt, provided he only has backbone; and whatever uncorrupted efforts he may make he is not liable to exceed his duty, provided he in no way interferes with others' rights. If he becomes prominent as a candidate, he need never refuse for fear of being corrupted by office, for any man that is in danger of refus ing on that account is enough of an enemy of corruption to be safe in accepting and promising to do his duty. Bin fact, duty to one country is to be ranked with duty to parents, and other of a filial na ture. The Government protects every citizen in more ways than one, and it is but fair that the citizen should do his part toward protecting the Government from bad men, who will rush in if the doors are left open, there, as elsewhere, in search of plunder. Patriotism in ancient times may have meant no more than the duty to fight in time of war, but happily in these times war is the exception and peaoe the rule.

The principal duties of patriotism are lighter in peace than in war, but none the lose imperative. It is every citizen's bounden duty to vote, and to use his in. fluenoe otherwise if he can honorably do so, and he generally can. He should inform himself about the political history and interests of his country. State, county, city, township, ward, dis trict or division, and that of those who claim to be their representative men, for he must perform his political duties, like other duties, intelli gently.

The Indian Bareaa. Mr. Schurz has presented the Report of the Commiseioaer of Indian Affairs upon the condi tion of the Bureau, and has much himself to say upon the subject. He is strongly opposed to the transfer of the care of the Indians to the Army, and anxious for the maintenance of the present Quaker policy system. His reasons are more spe cious than sound.

He thinks there should be fewer Reservations and a larger yearly appropri ation, and the manner in which he suggests that the various tribes shall be huddled together on a Reservation shows how little he knows of the practical bearings of the case. He would, aa it were, by Bureau fiat, have oil and water mix He proposes the placing of certain tribes, be tween which there are feuds as bitter, implacable and ineradicable as was the -traditional hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets, upon the same Reservation. Some cunning and un scrupulous Agent inust have prompted the Sec retary to this, in vrder to largely profit himself thereby, at the expense of peace among the bel ligerent tribes, and at the sacrifice of the lives of settlers and soldieja. Mr. Schurz does not know the Indian nature.

He is hood' winked by most vicious advisers. in this respect. But why should the Govern ment maintain the Quaker policy at a cost of over five millions a year, to say nothing of the greater annual cost ot Indian wars and the loss of valuable lives, when the tribes can be kept at peace under the charge of the army for less than three millions per annum This is the paramount question whfch Mr. Schurz shirks or ignore. At any rate, he does not answer it.

Against the wishes of eight-tenths of the people of the entire Republic, and in opposition to the unbiased counsel of nine-tenths of the army officers who have seen the most service in the Indian country, the Secretary and the Adminis tration, together with the Radical majority in Congress, persist in perpetuating this plundering and murderous system, by which precious lives and an enormous yearly sum of money are sacrificed and worse than squandered in order that a few corrupt Indian officials shall be enriched and a favored sect peculiarly benefitted. Senaethlns; fee Taesa to eanesaaer. During former years Democratic meetings in Boston, the Pott xf that city alleges, were sub jected to mobs and Democrats persecuted per sonally; corporations endeavored to control the votes of operatives by threats of discharge, and so close a system of espionage wai established to ascertain who among dependents offended the will of employers, that legislation was invoked to protect personal rights; United States laws were set at defiance and Committees selected to expel Democratic Uovernment officers from public posts of duty and to succeed them by unauthorized citizens. The scene of tumult and fraud witnessed in New York are remembered, when the arsenal was broken open, guns seized, and a mob led by "the man in the claret-colored coat" -a well-known Whig. The pipe-laying cheat.

by which thousands of men were imported into New York from adjoining States, under pretense of being employed by the city to lay pipe, and then illegally used as voters, was but one of scores of similar outrages upon popular suffrage instigated to defeat Democrats; yet the heirs of Whiggery and its principles, and the followers of its examples, have the impudence to accuse Dem ocrats of outrages upon the ballot-box, and such changelings as Boutwell and his associate "Stal warts'instigators of perpetual sectional strife present themselves to the country as its honest counsellors and safe guides, the men who have just emerged from participation in the great cheat that placed Mr. Hayes in the Presidential Chair, and who are now enjoying the possession of stolen goods. Sraars eat Timber lands. Secretary Schurz ia of opinion that the Acts passed at the last session of Congress, with refer ence to timber lands in Colorado, Nevada and the Territories, and for the sale of similar lands ia California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington Territory, are calculated to hasten the destruction of forests in the named States and in the Territories, rather than to preserve them, as the supporters of the respective Acts declared their purpose to be at the time of their parage. With regard to the Act relating to the Pacific States and Washington Territory, he agrees with the Commissioner of the General Land Office that the lands ought not to be sold, but onlw tha tim.

ber upon them, and that the price is altogether too low, as some of the lands are worth from five to fifty dollars aa acre. The penalty of f2 60 per acre for trespassers is laadequate, and invites more than restrains parties from trespassing. The Secretary thinks the two Acta ought to be repealed or very materially amended, as they are in the interest of peculators, and not of settlers in good faith, as they ought to be.
