In his reply to the Speaker's address in the Parliament of James 1, the Lord Keeper paid: “I will put you in mind of » story which TvLLy relates ont of TivcypipEs. The Thebans, having overcome the Lacede- monians,in memory thereof erected a bra. ten trophy. A complaint was made before the Amphictyonie Council that by that trophy the memory oftheir civil discord was made eternal. Their judgment was that it should be abolished, because it was not fitting that any record should remain of discord be- bween Greek and Groek.” There is a moral in this illustration of the quaint old Lord Keeper that may be of prac. tical use in our times. Statesmanship has in all ages deprecated the keeping alive memories of civil animosities, or perpetu- ating the glories won in civil strife. When a acrvile and obsequious Senate, in order to Batter the Emperor ‘Tinentvs, requested him to ercet an altar of vengeance com- memorating the death of Piso, who fell in tivil strife, that monarch, tyrant though he ‘was, repliel that public monuments should commemorate foreign conquests, not domes. tic calamities, When Cassan, after his return from his victorious dispersion of the Senatorial chiefs at Thapsus, and the overthrow of Cato at Utica, celebrated his four triumphs, he care- fully avoided all reference to what was the most brilliant of all his achievements, In Bpain and Thessaly he had routed the dis ciplined legions of his own countrymen ; but, ‘as he well said, “their defeat brought no ac- cession of honor or territory to the Republi the glory reflected on the victors in a triumph over their own countrymen is but dubious and barren. te it not then time for us, a Christian people, whose religion is based upon forgive ness of injuries, to show that we cannot be outdone in magnanimity and generosity by the heathen? Is it not time to bury in ob livion the traces of our civil war, and grap. ple to our hearts with hooks of stocl, as of old, our fillow-citizyns of the South, whose errors, great as they wore, have been griev- ously atoned for? There are grave and momentous events agitating the world, and amid the strugglis of contending nationalities on the other side of the occan, and the complications and ex asperations of the hour, no one foon this AW how antry may be embroiled in a for When that hour sirikes, we want the hearts of our people to beat with but on» response to the call of patriotism and duty. We want them to kin‘le in unison again, as they did in those “brave days of old,” when Massachusetts and South Carolina went thoulder to shoulder through the Revolu- tion together—when the blow struck at Lexington lighted a watch-fire at Baltimore, waked the Latth «ry of freedom at Charles: ton, and sped onward until a whole conti nent with one heart cried, “Liberty or death.” This is the spirit that a wise fore- casting statesmanship should study how to restore. It can never be regained by remind ing each other continually of the bitter an. tagonisms of our civil struggle, Rather let us imitate the wisdom and the magnanimity of the heathen statesmen and soldicrs, who regarded civil strife 28 a national calamity, and thought it not fitting that any memo- rial should remain of discord between Greek id Greek. - — Quarrelling Republicans. A movement is going forward among the Republicans of this city for the expulsion of various members of their party, who ere charged with rendering aid and comfort to the Democrats of Temmany Hall, In the Sixth Assembly District the entire Repub- Ucan Association has been turned out, and a clab, organized or eign war, ally for the purpose of the late canvass alone, bi 8 declared itsel be the only pure Republican body in the dis trict. In the Tenth Assembly District a dozen or more members of th rogular Re publican Association have been expelled by name, severe) o} cers of the Association be. Ing among these scapegoats, In the Twen'y-fi District, also, some half dozen of t ost prominent ornaments of the Association have been formally repudiat ed und their places filled by others, The reason for these proceedings is alleged eo. operation with the Tammany Domocrate ¢ the part of the gentleunen coudemucd and expelled. If our Republican friends are bent on purifying their ory anization in this manner, and reducing the number of those nominally connected with it, they will perhaps allow us to say to them that they begin rather late in the day, he time when it might havc been useful to the Republican party to be purged was before the election of 1869. ‘That election returned a largo number of Repab: lican members of the Agsembly, ‘These As: semblymen were in Albany at a most critical period, Tho war between and the Young De: ‘Tammany fal!

If, instead of such fellows being in a position to be elected Assemblymen, they had been previously sent over to the Democracy, and ifthe Republicans had then elected none Dut incorruptible men, who would stand by their party wuder every temptation, they would now be in the ascendant in the State, and some Republican statesman would be the Governor clect. The ruin of the Repub- lican party dates from the time when these Awemblymen were chosen; and to lea them in high honor while attempting to punish a few #traggling ward politicians at this Jate day is absurd. Thus the Republican party lost its great opportunity during the session of tho last Legislature; but so profound and so wide- spread is the opposition to Tammany Hall, 80 universal the belief that it isa profligate and corrupt association, that the Repablican party might in the recent election have re- covered from the consequences of being sold out by ita representatives in the Legislature. All that was necessary was tho use of a little good senso in selecting a candidate in whom the masses of the people would have confi. dence. But owing to Gon. GRAN1’s foolish interference, a candidate was selected in whom nobody had confidence, and who, on his own evidence, was believed to have been ruilty of the grossest corruption when he was Agsistant District Attorney. The second opportunity of the party was thus thrown away, and there now remains before it only tho prospect of dwindling and quarreling for an indefinite period tocome. But instead of its subordinate organizations engaging in the work of expelling: members who are supposed to have done some harm to the Re- publican cause, why don’t the Republican State Committee, as the authorized organ of the whole body, take steps for the expulsion of those members of the Legis lature who sold out the party at Albany in April last? And why don't they also expel Gen, GRant, who caused it to be ruined afresh at Saratoga in September? — - Can Trochu Save Paris? The attempt of Gen, De PaLaprxes with the Army of the Loire to break the German lines around Paris has been coo clusively foiled. With all his skill and bravery, it is not probable that he will ever approach sufficiently near to the besieging force to attempt any practical interference with its operations, He will have all that he can do to attend tothe Germans under Vow per TANN, the Duke of MeckLesnene, and Prince Frepenick Crrannes. If Poris is to be saved from capitulation, it must be done by the army within its walls. That army is, in round numbers, five bun dred thousand strong. It has had the benefit of two monthe of constant discipline, Its vari- ous divisions have been under fire in frequent sortics, 80 that its soldiors have learned to know the smel! of powder and the hiss of Desides, it includes within its rauks some seventy-five thousand veteran troops of the old Can Gen, Trocire with this force raise the eof Paris, or hold the iny broken long enough to supply the city anow with provisions? We doubt it. It is true ther: is in history no Instance of the investment of to large o force as that under his orders Indeed, we believe that he has more men than the Prussians who surround him, and we will suppose that they are as good sol- diers. But in the two months that have passed since the beginning of the siege, one army has not been idle any more than the other; and while the French bave immensely strengthened their lines of defence with rifle-pits and other earthworks, the Prussians on their side have done the same with their lines of investment, It is probable, there- bullets. uch regular army. ting lines fore, that Trociry will find it as difficult to break through the trenches of the besiegers and get out of Paris, os the Germans would find it to break throngh the defences of Paris and get in. At any rate, the hope of relieving the city by a diverson from without is now sub- stantially extinguished; and we shall soon see whether a surrender of the city and of its army can be prevented by the genius of the commanding General and the daring of his troops. If, after all, we are to witness the capitulation of Paris with such an army, it wilt not do hereafter to talk about the cow. ardice wand treason of BaZAtne. Seb tins Will England Back Down?

Has Benator Trumb Party? Correspondence of The Sun. Wasntxotox, Nov. 19.—The rumor of the de- fection of Senator Trumbull from the Republican party created a profound sonsatiow here, It is true thit ho bas civen to interviowors a rather vague denial Of these reports, It ts sald, however, that this is nota square, but a somi-demt dev ial, which wil) not hold water In view of the action of Keburz, Graz Brown, aud the Chleago Tribune. Opinions on Trumbull differ, Mis ability and hieh character are adwitted, Some say he is nothing but incarnate objector on points of interrogstion, powerful in opposition, but unfit to build ap or or ganize, Tho idea of a new party, either under him or any other competent standard-bearer, If ho can be found, was, however, received with real en- thasiasm by prominent Democrats. One of these gentlemen remarked that Trumbull in many rea) ects reminded hin strongly of Ben Hill of Georgia, of whom he had heard that morning the following ancedote: Ben Hill was the o-ealled Union member of the Confederate Senate in Richmond. In secret sereion he was bilterly and personally de- nounced by Yancey. Seizing an inkstand, of the old state Logisiatare pattern, with broad disk shaved pewter base, he flung it some twenty feot with such force and accuracy a8 to hit his adversary ou the face, cut his jaw to the bone, and prostrate him. A. H, Stephens, prosiding, as Yancey rose to loav remarked that it was “ executive or secret session, A committee of three was appoiated. A precedent was found in “ Hansard’s Debates ,' and the Seomte decided that unless both parties would phdge ther word of honor never to take action in the matter as long as eitiier retvine! their position In the Senote, they would be at once expelled. Neither was allowed to aay a word in extManation or defence. Both finally acreted. Thus the fre eating Yanesy was qiciiet. and diot before ho had any opportunity of obtalat on from Boa Hill, who was known to bo coolly prepared to mest him, ‘This fart yonr correspondent had from the lips of the Chairman of that Committee, who remarked that, sirinee to «ay, the ocentrence had never leaked ont (uring the war, nor Fince ns far age was wware, Ul the mention of Seq vor Trumbul: bad that morn- ine reminded hiw of Masical Iremn.

Sr. Louis, Nov. 17,—The recent political up: heaval and revotution in this State, waich has been generally styled “the Missouri Earthquake,” has excited such an interest throughout the conntry in the leader of the movemout, B.

I never put tim on the seales, but T have welgued a deat of live stock in my day, and T think that my judgement is good on avoiradpots, Gratz is about five feet and nine inches in height, lender, lithe, and honest in build.
