Only one point in national politics is open for the decision of the people. They are to de- termine whether they will have the constitu- tion restored to full power and be ruled accord- ing to its principles and provisions, or whether they will see the whole fabric of our admirable system swept away as the rubbish of the war and hold their property and their rights, not under the guarantee of a supreme, recognized and known law, but by the sufferance and at the will of a knot of oligarchs—intolerant, arro- gant, rapacious and insatiable. There is no other issue of principle. All the flourishes of platforms and all the noisy activity of partisans are in vain to cover up the fact that this at last is the real dispute. Nor can the cautiously written letter of Grant, with its smooth palaver over the will of the people, and its studied reti- cence as to the constitution, divert public attention and lead the popular mind away from the thought that it is the constitution and the supremacy of law which are at stake in this Presidential contest. He who ignores the constitution in the letter in which he accepts the nomination of a party for a contest such as the present, indicates what he understands the principles of his party to be and declares his readiness to support them, so that the party and its leader are agreed to have as little said” of the constitution as possible, to get it out of the way as quietly as possible and to cover their delinquency with bouquets of pretty phrases about ‘the will of the people.” All, therefore, who vote for Grant and the radicals vote for disorder, disorganization, anarchy—vote for the abolition of the institutions of government by which the republic grew to its great power—vote for carrying to ultimate results the revolutionary propaganda of Butler, + vens and Sumner; and they who vote against this party do what men ought to arrest the de- structive tendency and restore to full authority the Jaws of the nation and to guarantee the rights of the people under those laws. This is the naked truth; but faction does i utmost to disguise it and to give the right to its acts by claiming todo all trom patriotic motives, as even the wolf tried to give the color of right to his devouring the lamb by pretending it was done only in his honest rage because the lamb muddied the water. Ut is the duty and within the power of the democracy just now to make this issue clear before the people By the very name of the candidate whom they oppose to Grant. And what name will do this? Not Pendleton’s, not Seymour's, not even McClellan's, now the name of any man who is known to the people as associated with that offensive port of the history of the democracy in which, it regarded acts necessary to save the country as party measures and opposed them as anch. To present as a candidate for the Presidency at this time any such man would bea, policy worse than suicidal; for i¢ would not only destroy the party, but by throwing away the one chance to defeat the radiceJs would actually surrender the country into aeir hands. There could be no other result than defeat with such a candidate. Nothing is more inefface- ably written on the hearts of the great masses of the American people than the determination never to trust any man who was, not true in the terrible emergency that tried the nation in the fire, They who conspicuously failed to sympa- thize with the great iinpulse of the war, how- ever respectable may be their talents or character, however they may be ardently admired in circles in which: they are personally known, are simply in the list of “impossibles” before the people. Pitting up such names would be forcing the people to go to the radi- cals for fear of faring, worse. It would awaken suspicion and alarwn. It would stampede the people. It would make the choice only be~ tween two evils; and the people would rather take Butler, would rather accept the worst man in the world who was right in the war than the best man who was wrong in that great contest.

Fortress of Magdala, the last refuge of King Theodorus, April 14 and 15, give a graphic description of the storming and capture of that remarkable stronghold and the incidents and discoveries attending it. The details present us the strangest military conflict and tableaux of modern times, and in a country which is the strongest by nature for defensive operations of any on the face of the globe. In these Abys- sinian belligerents we see the intermingling of Europeans, Asiatics and Africans, horses, camels and elephants, the civilization of the nineteenth century and the African barbarism of three thousand years ago. We have nothing in the records of modern military adventures to compare with this romantic African expedi- tion. It takes us back beyond the Dark Ages, to Hannibal crossing the Alps, to the cam- paigns of the ancient Romans among the bar- barous nations by which they were surrounded— which they have acted on their assumption of its death that the President has had the nar- possible escape from removal, only because he made conformity to the constitu- tion the test of the validity of alaw, For the Court to determine against certain of their laws they laid their desecrating hands even on that institution, With these men in power all this will go on apd gain impulse and extrav- agance as it moves.

It reminds us of Disraeli’s “Wonderful Tale of Alroy,” of Pizarro and Cortez; it lifts up the veil and brings broadly into view @ country and people as much a mystery to the outside world heretofore as the annual overflow and sources of the Nile.

Without Chase they will cer- tainly be beaten, and this ought t0 be to them ample reason for his nomination. tion, has settled, through those famous ex- plorers, Speke and Grant and Baker, the problem of the Nile sources and the problem of the annual overflow of Egypt. The main stream of the sacred river of the Egyptians comes from a system of broad and beautiful lakes supplied by the lofty mountain system and heavy rains of the equator. The annual overflow of the lower river comes from the bountiful clouds drifted from the Indian Ocean and condensed upon the lofty tablelands and loftier mountain systenr of Abyssinia. That strange country of lofty tablelands, cut up into numberless sections by deep basaltic chasms and ravines, is now, we learn, under its annual deluging rainfall, and that every ravine is impassable by a surging tor- rent, and that in due time the combined vol- ume of all these torrents will pass mostly down the Blue Nile into the main river and overflow the waiting fields of Egypt. Sir Robert Napier has doubtless adapted his Abys- sinian campaign, and especially his departure with his army, to: the necessities suggested by this rainy season. His time at Magdala was so'nearly up'that the delay perhaps of a fort- night would have detained him for several months and starved his army, by being abso- lutely cut off by those: swelling mountain tor- rents from every source of supplies. Here we have the great secret of Abyssinia’s exemp- tion from foreigm invasions in all ages, and the secret,.too, of the slow advances of that people, naturally of great capabilities, from their primi- tive usages, arts and customs. The causes which have cut off the foreign invader have cut off those: advances in civilization which are drawn from the intercommunication of nations and peoples. The civilization of Europe-was drawn from Asia, and to some extent even from ber ernsades:. Inher tura Europe bas been and is diffusing her civilization, even in her mili- tary adventares, East and West. In this pro- pagandism England and her overtopping daugh- ters of the United States of America lead the way. Of this Abyssinian expedition the re- lease of certain prisoners held. by King Theo- dorus was the avowed object, and, that object being fully attained, Sir Robert. Napier, it may be said, has fulfilled his mission. We believe, however, that England had anotirer and greater object in this enterprise. Speke, Grant and Baker had: shown that there is a vast fertile country around the sources ofthe Nile. Dr. Livingstone had shown that. there is a still more extensive and fertile region below the eqnator, adapted to cotton, suger, coflee and all'the products of the tropics. The occupa- tion of these countries and the development of their resources in the way of trade were the grand objects involved in Napier’s expedition. He has, perhaps, discovered that Abyssinia is not worth holding—that the lofty altitude of the country. makes its productions worthless for commerce. But this does not the question in regard to the other Afric The Sanitary Condition of the City. The City Registrar of Vital Statistics, in making his report for the week ending June 1, - states that zymotic or malarial diseases are in- creasing in fatality in this city, and last week caused twenty-four and,a half per cent of the deaths, which number in the aggregate four hundred and eight, being’ an increase of fifteen over the same week last year. This increase of malarial diseases at this seasonshould bring the subject of the sanitary condition of the city to the immediate attention of the authorities. Last year and the year before,,and we know not how many previous years,-our citizens were startled by the anticipsted’ approach of the cholera, and the most stringent sanitary regulations were enforced. That the scourge did not make its ‘appearance as an epidemic was no doubt owing to the timely precautions taken to purify the city and cleanse the streets, sewers, gutters, back yards, vaults and cess- pools of the accumulation of filth, the natural food for, if not the creator of disease. How is itat the present time? We fear’ the subject will not bear the test of serutiny. That our sewers are choked or blocked up with filth or debris is to be seen with every heavy shower that fulls, the water lying in large pools in the streets and gutters for hours in consequence of insufficient ontlets through the sewers and drains, Besides, the energy witnessed in the general management of sanitary'mattersin past years is not observable at the present time ; and although the city is now unusually healthy cure should be taken to keep it so, and by sea- sonable preparations ward off distempers when we may have reason to expect the unhealthy season to set in, which: usually comes with the advent of unripe fruits and vegetables. The Health Commissioners: should therefore go to work zealously to cleanse and purify every ward in the city, especial reference being paid to those cramped. and confined localities where hundreds of families are herded together under one common roof, Farther Postponement of Jef! Davia’ Trial. On yesterday Chief Justice Chase presided over the United States District Court at Rich- mond, Virginia. The case of Jefferson Davis was called up for trial, when the counsel on both sides announced that an agreement had been entered into for a further postponement until the October term of the court.

Now, when it is considered that Congress over the District of Cohumbia has ‘exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever,” and that for the last seven years this legisla- tion has been directed to the object of making Washington a radical city, the result of this eléation shows that radicalism, even in its cen- tral stronghold, is an aphill business, and that when the break in the fall fairly begins—as now appears probable—against the reign of the radical party, its overthrow will be as signal and decisive as was the downfall and dissolu- tion of the old whig party in 1852.

By this decision General Morgan, the conservative, has been deprived of his seat, and Mr. Delano, radical, installed therein, Two-or three repub- licans only voted against this most unjust measure. The district which Mr. Morgan represented gave a democratic majority of nearly, if not over, two thousand Inst year at the gubernatorial election, and is to-day one of the strongest anti-radical districts in the State of Ohio. liis very doubtti, therefore, Mr. Delano will long enjoy his present triumph.
