THE POLICY OF THE ENEMY.
. jt t- -Rintsell'a article In
we dsto ru "
tbe North Asaerioen Review on the fu
ture of the Republican party. It ia g
nifioant and will command tbe attention
not only of the politicians of the country,
but of all who are anxious to know what
will be the policy oj tfaecoming Admin
istralion, what will be the attitude of
the government toward the South during
the next four years of Republican rule.
Tbe leading topic of thought and legis
lation by tbe incoming Administration,
Mr Boatwell thinks, will be the tariff
The system must be "perfected and firm-
ly established in the policy of the conn-
. . . tUa
try," because, he asserts, it was the pnn-
oiple of protection which was at issue ana
the verdict was in favor of the principle.
And here Mr Boatwell finds a serious
k.mHnn . menacing the existine
tariflt and that is tbe Solid South. And
tbaa be brings forward bis fcrst argument
for breaking op the Solid South; for "a
SoEd South will be a continuing menace
to any system designed to protect Ameri
can industry."
If the Republican party, therefore "is
not moved to break up the Solid South
by any higher motive than that of self in-
teres, it is under an imperative necessity
to do so ia- its capacity as preserver and
guardian of the interests of the North."
And what does Mr Boutwell mean by
this T Does he mean that the Republican
party is tbe guardian of tbe North, and
yet does be deny that bis party is seotion
al, that his party is not in principle or
even in practice, opposed to the Sooth ?
Tbe interests of the North 1 And bo, af
ter all, the Republican party is the avow
ed protector of a single seotion of this
country against the remainder, against
the South 1
In behalf of bis party, Mr Boutwell de
clares that the day of compromises, of
conciliation and of conceBion has passed,
and that such a policy of. conooBsion, of
compromise, of conciliation, will no long
"er be even tolerated in the Republican
'party. And not only will we refuse to
conciliate, he says, but our policy toward
tbe South, in its present political attitude,
must be determined, bold and aggressive.
And be rightly adds ; ' The South re
spects power, and it respects those who
possess power, and exhibit courage,"
But he might have gone on further and
said : tbe South does not respect those
who nse their power for bulldozing par
poses. - Mr Boutwell oontinaes :
ot Am - rit, vote and an
honest oount, Upon this demand is tbe
issue, and the duly resting upon the Rs
publican party ia to extort from tbe Con
stitution every legitimate power for the
enforcement of this demand,
f Eaen House ot Congress is the judge
of tbe election of its own members, and a
practicable and net unlikely a eofflcient
remedy for. the outrages upon the ballot
box in the South may be found in tbe
consistent, speedy and tesolute rejection
of claimants to seats whose record is
tainted with fraud or stained with crime,
whenever it is understood that no peison
can be admitted to a seat in the Senate
or Houea unless the record of hs election
is clear, the character of the canvass ia
the Gulf States will undergo a change."
We, who have yet in our renembrance
tbe years of oppression and misrule
which followed the war, find it not hard
to understand the meaniag of this.
And again :
Bat, whenever the Repablioans can
command a majority in both Houses of
Congress, there ought to be no delay in
passing laws for tbe supervision and pro
teo'kion of the ballots of tbe election of
members o the House of Representatives,
ana ol electors ot Jf resident and Vice
President The Congress, including the President,
is the United States, for the purpose of
making good tbe guarantee contained in
tbe Constitution ; and when in any
State the essential qualities of a republi
can government are wautino-. or tha nun.
pie are generally and systematically de
prived of those rights and privileges
wbioh are elemental in our republican
system, and when all milder means have
failed to remedy tbe evils, it then
Jeoomes a duty to assert the power of
he United States under the clause of the
Constitution quoted, and, by such mesne
as may be adequate, secure to the people
a republican gofernment as a practical,
exiting fact.
There is something in the latter para
graph hinting strongly at another Reoon-
stiuction.
' The article closes with tbe foilowinc
" as the proposed policy of tbe new
Administration toward tbe South. It
is plain and conclusive, and needs no
comment:
When, however, there shall be freedom
of speech, of tbe press, and of the ballot,
tbe Republican party will exert every
oousiitutional power for tbe renovation
of tbe waste plaoes in the South. What
ever ean be done, under tbe Constitution,
for the improvement of its rivers and its
batbois, for the rebuilding of its levees,
for I be dtvelopement of its agriculture,
for the extension of its manufactures,
for tbe enlargement of its educational
facilities, will be done by the Republican
party without delay and without grudg
ing. 15a t all this oan be done, for those
communities and States only where the
t quality of all men before the law is a
living, practical fact.

ANOTHES BANKER VPT LAW.
Among the pew matters Which will
engage the attention of the approaching
Congress will be a proposition to enact a
new National Bankrupt law. xne nual-
ce? men at the North are very any-; Qng
to hate suoh a law, but in view ofv tbe
Tile abase of the former law it ig nard
. . . . t L.:ti J
prooaoie ion tnej ',taiQ much out
side support although the South is in
greater need of a bankrupt law than per
haps any other portion of the country.
We all want a good bankrupt law bet
we want it rightly executed. It is far
from beiDg a settled question whether 'tis
possible to have a bankrupt law which
will not be liable to abuse. Of its need here
; in ttxe Doutn me w umiugioa aiar
says :
''There must be more reason for a bank
rupt law among Southern business men
than among Northern. If a man fails in
the North and makes an honest Barren
jer of all asset, and it is apparent that
his insolvency is. a misfortune, he is apt
to fiod firiends among business men who

ia not so often in tbe South. If a man
gats down here he will generally reoeive
carses and kicks, and instead of friendly
bands being extended to lift him from the
longb of das pond there will b foaod
those who will heap mud "upon him to
sink him deeper."
The proposed law is recommended by
the Boston Board of Trade. The Wil
mington Post say concerning it :
'It affords better facilities for those
who mav need its provisions, aud sub-
jects the parties to much less

system of fees for officials, and,
in many instances, they were exhorbi
tant. Officers accumulated fortunes
rapidly out of ntoaey that should have
been divided among needy creditors.
The proposed bill obviates this objection
by providing salaries instead of fees.
Another baa feature of the expired law
was that it required litigants to go, with
tbe-.r attorneys, lone distances to the
localities in which tbe officials were lo
cated. Tnis will bs remeded by the ap
pointment of a greater number of officers
in bankruptcy.
This will doubtless be a much better
and more satisfactory law than the two we
have already had, but still it is lia ble to
abuse and, if passed, will doubtless be
abused.
Don Fiatt has written an open letter to
his old friend Garfield, in which he warns
him of the dangers ahead of him, and re
fers him to tbe career of Grant. "It was
YOur-oommittee." savs tbe letter, "that
investigated tbe National shame called
"Black Friday," wherein Fisk, Gould and
Grant sought through a nee of the Na
tional Treasury to enrich tnemselves at
tbe expense ol thousands of honest men.
it is nut my purpose to recall the details
of that infamy. Tbe chief criminal wai
tracked to the threshold of tbe Executive
Maueion, and your committee passed a
resolution calling upon tjie President to
appear before the committee and defend

night of the day that the resolution was
passed, you called with it upon tbe Pres
ident. It was after midnight before yon
lett the White House, amazed and lick
at heart, and at your suggestion that very
day the resolution was revoked. I need
not aav that you and I know why that
resolution was so suddenly abandoned.
Tne faot that under the circumstances it
was revoked tells tbe whole story. The
very Democrats of the committee shrank
from the threatened exposure."
Hisby Clews & Co, New York bank
ers, in a'recent circular, have this to say,
in regard to tbe financial oondition of the
country :
"So far as the financial markets are
dependent upon commercial interests, ev
erything is conducive to confidence and
activity. The oountry at large was, per
haps, never so really and bo universally
prosperous as at this moment. All our
industries are actively and profitably em
ployed, tbe difficulty being to keep pace
with the continually increasing demand
for goods. Foreign emigration is bring
ing us a large new population, oi xmu
whioh makes tbe best possible raw mate
rial for tbe production of wealth. Agri
culture is expanding rapidly, and notwith
standing the enormous inorease in its
products, finds it possible to sell them at
remunerative prices. The spectacle of our
famera owning a wheat surplus of 190,
000,000 bushels, and yet refusing to sell
it until tbe price suits them, sufficiently
testifies the abundanoe of their means and
and the strength of their condition."
And now it is proposed to give all the
ex Presidents seats as Senators at large
in the United States -Senate. It seems
that Grant is about to land in tbe poor
house from the desperate efforts his
friends ie miking to give him some
thing. -
A loko ditcb, deep and broad, running
through a land, rich in its natural resour
ces, and emptying its wealth into the lap
of a foreign city. It is what is called the
"North Carolina System."
This is Alexander Stephens explanation
of tbe cause of defeat :
"Tbe Democrats were fighting for no
principle, but were making merely a
grand rush for the hog trough,

The first volume of McCarthy's History

hardly been published when it was found
that a great crisis had been reached in
tbe history of science and thought. The
importance of Darwin's "Origin of Spe
cies,- regarded as a mere historical fact,
is of at least as much importance to the
world as Uomte'a publication of his theo
ry of historical development. In these
pages we are considering Darwin's theory
and bis wort, merely as historical facts.
We are dealing with tbem as we might
deal witn tbe tall of a dynasty or the
birth of a new State. The controversy
wbicn orote out wben tbe "Uriein of
Species" was published bas been going on
ever since, without the slightest sign of
diminishing ardor."
"Mr Darwin's central idea was that the

plants whatever, have detc3nded from one
common prototype.
After eo6akinz or tbe fierce assault on
the book from the "supposed bearing of
tbe doctrine on revealed religion, be adds:
"To this writer it seems clear that Dt

sources of all life, movement and being."
Huxlev and Tvndall he speaks of as
not mere followers and exponents of Dar
win's theory, but as men who would have
made their mark in t be world by their
noble contributions to scientific literature,
which concerns in no wise tbe tremen

Herbert Spencer, be says, "may be
said to have taken tbe sphere of the nat

round, embracing and enfolding them all,
and adopting them as-hiS province.

Swinburne decidedly shot an arrow high
