S.me twer.ty full blood negroes were
I iri readincs to vote at the eleciiou in
Omaha a day or two since, but were
j induced to forego that pleasure by a
little coaxing from the German and
j Irish in that city. The colored gentie-
i;ieri thought it wouldn't Lir healthy in
' th it latitude JWbraska City Ntw.
J That is in accordance witli the r rin
ciples of modcru DtOiocracy. The
arty enters upon a course of mob law,
attempts to carry b y force of arms what
they fear cannot be done according to
law, and then, when their actions are
condf nined by all who respect common
! decer.cy an 1 pretend to be peaceable,
law-abiding citizens, they attempt to
ihift the whole responsibility upon the
' Germans and Irith." How do the
"Germans and Irish" like it? Are
they willing to be made scape-goats for
all the mean, rascally acts of ;he Dem
ocratic party ? The Omaha Herald,
even, is compeilp d to come out and say
it does not endorse the mob, yet it and
the ..Yeix's is perfectly willing that the
"Germans and Irish" th juld bear the
odium which the purty dare not defend
It is a conx eiiieut thing no doubt, to have
eonieboJy to shift the responsibility up
on whenever the party, steeped iu in
fa my though it be. is afraid to defend
an act of mob violence and disubedience
to law, their lending oreans say "the
Germans anil Irish" done it. Whil
we have no douut that there were
'Germans and Irishmen" who took a
part in the disgraceful proceeding at
Omaha, yet we do not believe they
were the only ones who did, and we
know that there were many "Germans
arid Irish"' who did not assist, and who
dcteaied and denounoid the action of
the mob. Where is the juiice, then,
in saying that ih "Germans and Irish'
Jone this thing; thus making all who
are of thee nationalities responsible for
ixujxc.x that the low-down Democratic
party is ashamed of.

In the United States Senate, on
on the 7ih inst., Saulsbury, the ltader
of the Democracy, "raised the point ti
order that as the Constitution f the
United States was being blotted from
existence, it could not bu amended."
This is in keeping with Democratic,
uctics since the commencement of the
war. The leaders of the party have
done all they could to "blot the Consti
tution of the United States from exist
ence" by stimulating the rebellion, and
it may be possible that Mr. Saulsbury
thinks they hate nearly succeeded.
They openly opposed ihe war for its
preservation, and ad vocattd compromise
with men ho constantly declared the
only compromise they would accept
was their ind?pendence. and a break
ing up of the oid government. Stnce
the close of hostilities they have not
desisted from their efforts to "blot the
Constitution from existence," Aut have
used every means iti their power to
place the government iu the hands of
the men who glory in having waged a
four years war against the Constitu
tion aud government of the United
States. They are anxious to secure
through strategy what they failed to se
cure by forue of arms ihs blotting
out of the Cou-titrtion." We appre
hend, however, that Mr. Saulsbury and
all others who declare that we "have no
government," and that the "Constitu
tion is being blotted from existence,"
will find that the late war was not a
"failure," and that there is power in the
voice of the people that will not be
crushed by covert enemies, any more
thau our armies were crushed by open
ones. Andy Johnson has discovered
this fact, aad it is aboutuirue that such
men as followed in his wake should dis
cover it.

General Grant on Sttconstiuc
tion. Our readers cannot have failed to
notice in our Washington dispatches of
Monday, the following positive fctate
mentof the views of General Grant, in
regard to the new Reconstruction li.ll
of Congress:
"General Grant does not L eat tale to
ay,vtry frankly and pointedly, that a
would be advisable tor the resident
to give it his signature. At an inter
view with Secretary McCuiioch this
morning, he asked the Secretary what
the l'reident would do with it would
he sign it? The Secretary evasively
answered that he did not know. The
1'resident had not said what course hy
would pursue. The General, remark- 1
ed with much earnestness, 'I hope he
will sign v; I think it wi.l be well for
him to do so.' The Secretary again
said he. couldn't tell what the President's
purpose was, adding, 'He takes lime to
look luio the whole ques 10:1 before uct
ing.' General Grant thereupon re
sponded, 'Do you think he is open to
conviction; wo jld my opinion have any
weight with him? I don't want to bore
hi i in if he lias reached his decision, but
I very much hipe he will sign the bill.
Some further conversation was haJ,
aho.ving General Grant' strong desire
fur harmonious octiou between the
Prcaidet.i ami Congress. Whether lie
took occasion to see the President on
the subject not known."
General Grant ha been very violent
ly availed by Wendell Phillips and
o;ners, as false to ihecau.e of freedom
and loyalty, and ihe rebels and copper
heads have persistently claimed him as
a supporter of .ir. Johnson's policy.
In lhi interview above described, he
answered both classes of his slindrrers
at once. lie is rut the m m to spcaU
nastny, or wiinout a tuii apj reciatKn or
the meaning of his words; nod when hj
expressed to Mr. x.ItCu.loch his un-(juaiilii-d
approbation of the Congres
sional acheme ol reconstruction, he did
so with a perfect understanding of the
pnncipleslowhichth.it approval com
mitted hint. If any one question the
tiJellty of Gi-neral Grunt to the lo'.al
party of the nation, let h:tn sua what
tha features of this bill are, and then
judge.
In the first plac, it declares all that
President Johnson and the Southern
rebels hav done in the way of recon
struction durio the last two Years, to
be illegal and void. It overthrows "mv
policy" at a blow, and sweeps away the
sandy foundations on which it stood
bv th; aversion that uo legal
ments exist in the Sou h.
govern
2. It practically annihilates these
governments by dividing the Southern
country in o five military districts, each
to be commanded by an army orlicer;
and white it permits thee governments
'o exercise authority in certain cases, it
yi-t makes them subordinate to the mil
itary commander, who can suspend or
overrule them in his own discretion.
3 It declares that whatever govern
ments may exist in the Southern States
previous to th,e admission of their rep
resentatives in Congress shall be pro
visional only, and at all times subject to
the control of Congress, which may
modify, suspend or abolish them at
pleasure; thus making Congress su
preme not only iu its power to admit
or reject there governments, but to take
them absolutely under us control and
management, at any time, and at all
times un'il it see, fit to admit ihe States
into the Union.
4. It disqualifies for holding office
under these Provisional Governments,
all who would be disqualified by the
third section of the Cou?titutional
Amendment, thus immediately putting
in force that portion of the "proposed
Amendment that excludes leading trait
ors from office.
5. It does not permit any one elected
to office under these Provisional Gov
ernments to hold such office unless he
shall be elerted by the votes of the male
citizens of proper age irrespective of
color.
6. It does not permit the rebel States
to move in the organization of a perma
nent government, unless it gives free
puffrage to the tegroes; for it requires
the delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention, whenever they shall be elected,
to be chosen by tha male citizens ir
respective of race, color cr previous
conditions.
7. It requires such Convention to
frame a Constitution that shall embody
universal stiflrage, and permits it to dis
traiKhsie no male citizen except for
participation in rcteilion, or felouy at
common jaw.
8. Af er such Constitution shall have
been framed, it requires it submission
to and raiificition by the whole people
of the State irrespeciive of color.
9. The Government organized on
such a basis, is required to ratify the
pending Constitutional Amendment. .
When Governments are so formed,
and when the proposed amendment
shall have become a part of the Con
stitution of the United S'ats, then
Congress pledges itself t.o admit the
Senators and Representatives of s-och
States.
Such HT9 the distinguishing features
of the measure to which General
Grant gave his unquahlied approval
We do not think that after this his jo- j
sition should be regarded asdoub ful by
any one. Thos; who have known him
well have never had any doubts on the
subject. Chicago Tribune.

It seems from the tetts to which this
formidable vessel was iuhjected on her
recent trial trip, to be fully demonstra
ted that she is the largest, staunchest
and most easily managed engine of
naval warfare which has yet been built
in this or any ether country. Her mo
tive power is ample, her sea-oin
qualities admirable, atd her speed such
that she can be managed with equal
facility in an ordinal y harbor and upu
the ocean. Mure thau this by actual
trial it was proved that the tremendous
fifteen inch Dahlgren guns, which nev
er before have ben mounted alloat in
casemates, can. ty an ingenious methed
invented by Mr. Ericsson, be fought
as eas.ly on board of her as the eleven
inch guns, of less than half their weight
were fought by the gallant Dupont on
the tiw Ironsides, at Charleston, in
April, 1SG3.
As one of the competent ordinance
officers, appointed by the Navy Depart
ment to witness the tr.al, observed,
"These guns can be fcught as long as
the ports can be opeued, or until their
muzzles are rolled under iu a seaway"
a contingency altogether remote.
It is understood that the Naval Board
of examiners, who accompanied the
ship, will report favorably on the ves
sel in every particular, as surpassing
everything in their experience of iron
dad's effectiveness. The firing of this
massive ordnance on the "between
decks of the Dunderberg, owiug to the
solidity of the ship, produced no morj
concussion than would the firing of a
thirty two pounder on the deck of a
wooden frigate. Mr. Webb, who has
lontr stood at the head of ship builders
in this country, and perhaps in the
world, mayjustly feel proud of hi tri
umph in designing and constructing the
most powerful war vessel afloat.

I was th-tre, a few winters ago, and the
man with whom I was boarding went
out to feed the poultry, and he carried
a ta-k-u:e full of boiling water to
thaw them, and in pouring the water
out,- it froze btrfore it reached the
ground, so that before all was emptied,
there was a stream of ice half way up
to the no.se of the tea-ketile. The
deathly siience which followed, was
broken by a bystander asking, "Did he

of Michael Leyden, of said county, las,
spring. It was generally uuderstood
at the times of his death that Leyden
wau charged wi'h wrongfully appriat

"taking off" was by a vigilance com

The sin cf England ag.iin?t Ireland,
after all, is that she has forced her free
trade policy upon her, aud thus des.roy
ed her prosperity, and is now surely
suckiug out her life's blood. And a
similar fato will sooner or later befall
every pec-ple which supplies England
with raw materals and depends upon
her for manufactured articles of all
kinds. Jamaiea, Portugal and India,
as well as Ireland, are already among
the list of her victims;' and our own
country would have been long ago, but
for the sagacity and patriotism cf our
revolutionary forefathers, and such
statesmen as Ciay aud Webster and
their compeers of a later d&y.
