In General Grant’s appointment and in the circumstances that led to it we have a succes- sion of events in the same relation, though oo alarger scale, as those that marked the first year of the war. Public confidence in the suc- cess of our cause was, early in 1861, very great, and the whole country seemed ready to rally at the call to arms. But administrative mismanagement destroyed public confideace, and defeat in the field reduced our prospects to the lowest level. Biunder followed blun- der, corruption was rife in every department, and we were on the eve of a period of com- plete political anarchy. At that time the gov- ernment called General MoCtclian to the head of our armies from his victories in Western Virginia. He had scarcely assumed his respon- sible position before a great change was mani- fest everywhere, and an army and a govern- ment that had been chaotic and puerile in their want of form, purpose and power be- came organized and orderly in the highest degree. We have now gone through the same changes for a second time. Last year closed with the progress of the whole struggle im: mensely in our favor. Public confidence at the North was at tue highest pitch, ia conse- quence of our victories Hast and West in the summer and fall, and as tho spirit of the Nortuera people wag high that of the peopie of the South-was correspondingly low. But in a winter of political squabbles, and by half a dozea smal! attempt: and miserable failures, the aJministration changed all that. Now the South, all despondency az the winter came oa, has gotten through with tuat hard scason, has rallied again for the struggle, and seems ready to moet us with its old spirit, while the North, until quite lately, had but very little left of that buoyancy which all felt at the end of last year. ntirely without confidence in the administration, the people looked forward to the recommencement of hostilities in tie most doubtful, aot to say despondent, spirit. But a conqueror from the West has again taken the he!m, aad all promises to go well. General Gran! appears to have now com- plete and unquestioned controi of our armies. His recommendations are accepted, and are likely to be acted upon in the beat spirit, Tk that “treagon io a new fox rents denounce. He lias made Grant suprem over @ great power than Cromwel imagiued or Cusar ever saw; and he ought to know toat that is the new icind of treason. In accordance with Genera! Grant’s views, Gene- ral Sherman has been given a great command, and General MoPhersoa, from tue commandof a corps, has been promoted to command an army. And vow Grant comes forward, a3 if to put bia power to the test at once, with that very bad boy, Baldy Smith, and is likely to carry him through aiso. Geaerat W. F. Smith, a chronic admirer of Geaeral McClellau, whom the radicals have therefore hated and harried through the war, and whom the Senate has already revused to confirm as majcr general of volunteers,-is now to be appolated a major general of the regular army—that is, to the place on tle army roll made vacant by Grant's promotion. Here is progress. The administ stra- tion and the Senate ougit to kaow, however, that this is treason; and that they may kaow it we g've them the law in relation to trea- gon, a8 laid down by that favored organ of the administration, the Washington Chrontele:— Trasson in A New Ror Tho New Yous Terao, which clung to $ho cause of the rebels until it was mobbed iuto the suport of the Locos. bas, after three of Lip service, foay’ 4 ue v thies, In ita issue Of yor calis upon General Graat to plate the policy of Crsar, Cromweli aad Napoleon, ia other » rds, to muke bimseil dictaior—a proposition ag insu iting to 2 Levor Of Gone fai Grant as it ts treasonab' spirit to thy Country, Here ia high authority upon treasoay and if it were so wicked in us to “deliberately cali” upon Grant, how much worse it must be ia the administration to actually assist him “to {wi tate the policy of Crsar, Cromwell and Napo* leon, 4,aad to strengthen his hands with the only thing he ueeded to enable him to take, for the benefit of the country, the same abso- lute position that those men too'e to farther their own ambitions. As arrant treason ag Forney ever saw. Nearly all the men who ruled the ancient world with ability. and to a smaller extent the men who have ruled the modern world in the same way, usurped the places of others.

But the surest way to provide against the violation of law is to make the law clastic at that very poiul where it was most frequeally broken; or, indeed, lo remove the law allogether, and leay: the point open. This is the real glory of our constitution, and it is bere that the progress in government made in modern times is seen, Under our sysiem any man may rise to the supreme place, and a great man may go to any extreme for the good of the country, and atill be within the law. Respect to law on the part of all our rulers is a fact of our history, hoaora- ble to tho framers of our constitution,“who 60 framed the law that there could be no templa- tion for any truly great man to transcend It. Iu this view wo said, and we say, to General Grant, that he is now in the position to save the country from anarchy and cuin, if he ovly has the moral force to have bis own way. His course must be clear and straightforward from the commencement, and he must Insist upon the “unconditional surrender” of every point that the radicale botd. He must not temporize with them for a momont, or he will go as McClellan did. He has to fight against that, and wo sin- cerely hope that he may wia, though, of course, it will bo “treason in a new form” if ho does. Phe Tribune on Miscegenation, Poor Greeley has at last been forced to de- fine his position upon the miscegenation ques- tion. He does so ina very cautious and care- ful article in yeaterday’s Tribune, in which he argues strongly In favor of the intermingling of the white and black races, and submils half a dozen considerations for future discus- sion. Poor Greeley is really an authority upon this subject. He is a practical example of the theory that a black man may be bleach- ed white. Mr. Partoa, the biographer of poor Greeley, states that the Tribune philosopher was born black. On page thirty-three of Mr. Parton’s book we find this passage:—“To use the language of one who was present, Horace Greeley ‘came into the world as black as a chimney.’’’ Mr. Parton is a faithful historian, and would not state what was untrue. Conse- quently the miscegenators need no better illustration of their doctrines than poor Greeley himself, who was boro “as black as a obim- ney,” and is now a3 white as snow, when his face is clean In spite of his experience of miscegenation, poor Greeley touckes the subject very ginger- ly. “Lt is evident,” says he, “that it is aques- tion which must be considered well, and de- cided not by an appeal to old notions, but by experience” —thus evidently referring to the fact which we have just quoted from Mr. Par- ton. Thea poor Greeley divides the matior into questions for the physiologist, the ethnolo- gist, the historian, the theologian and the economist. This is merely using long words to darken coansel. The miscegenation question must be decided, not by the physiologist, the ethnologist, tho his- torian, the theologian or the economist, but by those whites and blacks, if any, who wish to marry each other. Poor Greeley knows this as well as we do, and he goes on to show that he does not intend to confine the discussion to the ologists by writing a column or so about the miscegeaation dogmas, and comparing the darkeys to the Jews. Besides, what is tue use of referring to the ologists when the radicals havo already inaugurated miscegenation? [3 poor Greeley so far behind the age that he has not yet learned that a miscegenation mecting was beld at Union square a couple of weeks ago, at which the daughters, wives, sisters and mothers of the Union League Club professed “love and honor” for the recently recruited niggers from the Vive Points? Has he not yet read the silly speech of Charles King, “the Pink of good society,” in which he deciared that “these loyal women know and feel what such a ceremonial imports?” Is he not aware that these black soldiers have been seat off to be transformed into heroes, so that they may be made the huabands of white women upon their retuca to this city? If not, poor Greeley had better refresh his memory by reading the official report of the proceediags of that meet- ing ia Lis own paper of Monday, the 7th of Maroh The fact is—aad the Tribune cannot disguise it—that the radical party wants a war ory. They tried Fourierism, and it failed. They tried free love, and it failed. Then they tried abolitionism, and it served their purpose for many a long year. But now the war haz deprived them of that suibboleth. Slavery is dead, aud can no longer be used as a political issue, The abglitionisty, like Othello. fad tbelr occupation gone. Now they are looking around for something elee to make mischief. Interference with the institution of marriage has always been one of their favorite holies. Having failed to disturb this institution by their Fourierite and free love doctrines, they now employ the miscegenation doctrine. They insist not only that the negro shall be free, but that he shail be recognized ag the equal of the white man socially, legally, inteliectually and matrimonially. It seems to us that it will be necessary for the nogro to prove this equality by his deeds before he can enjoy any of its benefits. Physiologists cannot prove it; for they prove the contrary. Ethnologists cannot prove it; for they prove the contrary. His- torians cantot prove it; for their evidence is all the other way. Theoloziagy ganaot prove it; for the Bible clearly and empha!‘cally jus- tifles slavery. Economists cannot prove ‘ti for they give testimony on the other side. The ¢ cannot prove it; for its figures always they did when they showed that dis union would be @ pecuniary benefit to the North. Poor Greeley cannot prove it; for, al- though he isa sample of miscogenation, he is aot by any means a promising or an attractive sample. No; the negroes must demonstrate theix equality for themselves, There is every disposition to give them a fair chance, and the fathers and mothers, the husbands and wivos, the sons and daughters and the brothers and sisters of t!0 Union League Club are going to watoh over ‘.em, aud minister nnto them, and shed tears for them, and help them along generally, and marry them off when they come back from the wara, Surely this is enough to satisfy any reasonable man, and poor Greeley, unreasonable as bo is, ought to be contented.

They are each aceking a solu- tion of the troublous aspect of their affairs, and blunder about in a fashion which would be ludicrous were it not painfully dangerous. Russia and Prussia, ander the impression that France and England are no longer allies—that, in fact, the entente cordiale has ceased to exist— eoem desirous of making up between them an alliance for the furtherance of their peculiar policy. The Morning Post, of Londou—the or- gan of Lord Palmerston, Queen Vicioria’s Pre- mior—is agitated upon the subject of this Russo- Prussian alliance, and asserts that were it to become a fixed fact Eogland and France would unite in furthering with their immense power and influence the aspirations for reform and liberty of the Poles, the Hungarians, the Vene- tians—in fact, all those nations in Europe who need but encouragement to break out against their present rulers. This is a significant threat on the part of England, and will doubtiess have a great effect upon the Powors against whom it is levelled. It is evident that Austria fs vastly uoeaay in the midst of all this Ruropean turmoil. The manifesto of the Emperor [francis Joacph be- trays the fears of that sovereign as regards tho revolutionary movement upon’ the point of breaking out in bis dominions. He says that a rebellious Power is working secretly against the security of Austria—tbat is, against him. To complains that in his provinces this movo- ment has usurped the power of the govern- ment; and he accordingly declares in a state of siege those portions more immediately agitat- od. This dread of the revolutionary movement will more than likely deter Austria from any joint action with Russia or Prussia; and these Powers, finding themselves menaced with a coalition such as foreshadowed by the Eng- lish official journal, will scarcely dare carry oul their present plans of an allianse France seems preparing for some formidable movement. Mistress of the situation, “sho is making vast armaments, and, should not this Danish war be speedily settled, Napoleon will more than likely take advautage of the general confusion it bas produced to further his own am- bitious views. He wiil manage to occupy and hold those Rhenish provinces which would give to France her natural boundarics. Italy is also making warlike preparations, and will, it is probable, act jointly with France if this Power goes to war. In such a caso Venetia and Rome will surely fall into the possession of tue King of Llaty, who bas, of course, made thia a part of the programme, We see it stated that the Swedish government haa granted per mission to its officers to serve in tbe Danish army. This is a significant fact, and prover that Sweden is an ally of the littie kingdom so seriously menaced by the Germans. Lt must be evident that from this state of universai agi- tation a new phase of affairs must spring up ia Europe. The probabilit’es are that just ae this country shall be once more at peace Europe will be undergoing all the dangers and mis- fortunes of a general war, from which she will emerge but with the downfall of those monarchies whieh now rule. A few months since our troubles were the source of jeers and insulta in the European press. At present tuey are too mtch occupied with their owa troubles to notice how nearly ours are at an end A Nice Cononization Pronparaa Sousme Exvosev.— When rogues fall out honest men come by their own’’ ia aa old maxim, and, per- haps, wa3 never more truthfully illustrated than by the developinents which atiend the quarrels betweea the rivai Presidential aspi- raula in the republican ranks at Washingtoa, and among their followers all over the country. While Senator Pomeroy was supposed to be all sound by the smutty division of the repub licans, not a word was whispered abou! the manner iu which be was hand the funds appropriated by Congress for the colonization of biacks in South America; not a breath was heard inquiring fato the fate of a large party of poor negroes who were sent lence to Hayti to enjoy the benefits of a congenial and sympa thetic government, and were met with disease starvation and death, at a cost of over thirty- three thousand dollars to the Treasury; bat when Senator Pomeroy proclaims i» clarion notes his adhesion to S. P. CO, the Shin Plaster Candidate, and boldiy flaunts his rebellious circular flag into the face2 of old Abe and his clagueurs, down comes the rod of vengeance, aad poor Pomeroy is preseated te the country in ashape very like ® poor Missouri nigger grilled on a Kansas raid. Senator Wilkiagon, of Minnesota, has had the unkindaesa to inflict this severe punis- moat upon a former fellow worshipper in the temple of Cudjo, by presenting a bill to repeal all acts making appropriations for tae colo- nization of persons of African descent; thus taking at the same time literally the bread from Pomeroy’s mouth and the perfume from his nostrils. But this fs not all. It appears that Senator Pomeroy has drawn two hundred and fifty thousand dollara for this South American colonization scheme, which burst up before it got under way, and these former fellow plunderers of bis are mean enough now to demand an account of the dis- position of the funds. Who can give it? Who caa tell how much has been expended for eloctioneering purposes, for linfag the pockets of legislators to induce friendly legislation, in .getting up small caucuses, small State con- vertons, priating small circulars, and fecing amall new*2@pers, bofore the split betwoea tho smutty and 5424 Plaster Cliques in the ro publican party occurr@d? Perhaps Pomeroy might tell; but he won't, But the mouey is gone. ‘ a Tax New Daaer—President Lig¢oin’s ue call for two hundred thousaad men in addi- tion to the five hundred thousand recently called for need not excite any alarm. Tho object is to “provide an adequate reserve force for all contingencies.” We have no doubt that our forces in the fleld aro amply sudivient, under General Grant, to put an end to the rebellion; but ft fs well to be pre- pared for “all contingencles.” In tho mean- time, however, tho number of deserters or stragglers from the army, if half the reporta we hear be true, is somewhat surprising, and suggestive of bad management somewhero in reference to this matter of desertion Let more care be taken to keep the soldiers in the Geld from roving off, and to gather up the stragglers and doserters atill at large, and we dave say that, with the now volluvtects who are pouring in, the army will soon be strong enough to finish the work bofore it without dealting. Macine A Gaear Row anovr Noramo.The English Parliament and government scem te be very much exercised about the circum- stance that some balf-famished Irishmen find it better to leave thelr own soil, where the bleasings they oan enjoy, undor their prosent rulers, are starvation and tyranny, and come to our fair and beauti- ful Western land of promise. Learned wigs ia the House of Lords seo movement an uoderhand attempt on the past _ of tho United States government to replenish the ranks of the Union army, and It requires the positive denial of the American Minister to satisfy their lordships that such is not the fact. The government has nothing to do with it. There is room for thousands and thousands of laborers on the vast Gelds of the great West if they choose to come hore, and they need not go into the army if they are disposed to do other work. It is possible that some scamps of bounty krokers may endeavor to cajole the newly arrived emigrant into enlisting, and pocket the largest share of the bounty moneg therefor; but the government is vo moro reapon- sible for such acts than would the Kogtish gow- ernment be if one of its own Jack Tars should cut off his quoue and try to dispose of it to Grandfather Welles as an emblem of the Secre- tary's fitness to manage the naval concerns of the country.
