Alarmed at the rising indignation of the people, Grant's conspirators in Congress have beaten a hasty retreat from the field. Thanks to the firmness of the Liberal Re- publicans and Democrats in the Senate, and the scruples of a few independent men like Mr. Witatam D. Keviey in the House, slarge share of the venom has been ex- tracted from the bayonet Election bill. We have not the full text of its provisions as itcame from the hands of the confer- ence committee; but judging from the samples before us, it has been pretty thor- oughly emasculated, No thanks are due to the conspirators, however, that the great crime against lib- erty and law was not fully consummated. They outraged decency, honor, parliamen- tary rules, and constitutional provisions in an effort to accomplish their purpose; but as it turned out, they covered theinselves with infamy, and got very little in return except humiliation and disgrace. Upon the whole, the result of this flerce contest in Congress is encouraging. It shows that when manliness and courage face the minions of Grant they will turn tail, skulk off the field, and leave their mas- ter in the lurch, allies Moral Decline of the Republican Party. More than almost any other political or- anne Goa? Uonimounbistory the ardginal Res publican party was inspired by the sense of moral right and wrong. Its vital- ity and its extraordinary and long-en- during power have been derived from ap- peals to the conscieuces of men. Accord- ingly it has often been called by its ady in derision, the party of mora ideas, ‘The epithet was a true one, and its truth constitutes the of the Republican party. greater the elevation the lo often the more abrupt the descent. The present low estate of the Republican party, the absence of principle and the contempt of conscience which form its a tual churacter, become more impressive and more startling from the contrast they offer to its earlier and better condition. Instead of a great moral end, such as the restriction of slavery, or a great political and patriotic end, such as the preservation and integrity of the Union, the Republican party is now engaged in an attempt to re- sheobie the Dncahenos Aa Ranhese meal nature—to leave his public acts out of view —is displayed in his selling a house to one neighbor for $40,000, taking 1,000 to bind the bargain, and then, in contempt of his word, his written contract, and of com- mon honesty, selling the very same house to another party for $65,000. But this is not the worst. Under the influence of patronage, under the control of the countless throng of Federal officehold- ers, we see thousands of Republicans, men of intelligence and character, going to Philadelphia to vote for a candi- date for whom in their hearts they have no respect, and whom in their private conversation they freely condemn. More than this, we see a Republican Congress in Washington, in which President Grant has not one real friend, and three-fourths of whose Senators and Representatives do not hesitate in conversation to speak of him with scorn, engaged in obedience to the dictation of this same array of eifice- holders in shameless whitewashing of fraud, corruption, and public robbery, and joining in the effort to make him n candidate for a second time, and to drive out of the party that more honest and less subservient portion who have dared to disapprove of his system and oppose his reilection, A saddening illustration of the sub- serviency and immorality which have obtained possession of the Republican party is afforded by the report on the Custom House frauds in this city lately made to the Senate by the committee of which Gov, BuckisauaM of Connecticut is the Chairman, The Republican mem- bers of this committee are most of them men of fair reputation, and Gov, Bu INGHAM epecially is regarded as even a religious man, They would scorn to take 4 bribe or pick a pocket; and they apolo, for bribe-taking by officers of the Custom House, excuse the levy of political assessments upon Custom House officers, and justify the general order rol beries perpetrated here by Gen. Grant's favorites under his authority! ‘This report of Mr, BuckincHam is of a ' the recent report of Goat Island Sancent in defence of Rowgson’s frauds tn the Navy Department, Just as Bucx- INGHAM thinks that Custom it isavenial actin a House officer to take bribes, so Bauoex? argues that It was excusable in Roprson to take $93,000 out of the Treasury aud pay it to mento whom the Govern- ment owed nothing, in plain defiance of a statute of Congress designed to prevent any further payment to those very men. And just the special representatives ot Grantista in the commitice on outrages in tie New Orleans Custom House attempt to excuse and palliate them, because thoy were committed by a brother-in-law o. the President in the interest of his renomi nation, But the boldest and worst act of public dishonor Is that committed by the majority of the Senate on last Friday night, in add- ing the bayonet Election law as an amend- meat to the Civil Appropriation bill, The rules of the Senate clearly forbade any such amendment, but the Chairman, Se tov Axrnony of Rhode , a0 reputable character in private life, un- blushingly put down this objection, and the amendment was incorporated in the bill, This amendment was intended to put it in GRanv’s power to revlect himself by military control over the ballot boxes, No more desperate or indecent legislation was ever attempted than to enact such a law under the guise of an ameudment to an appropriation bill; and yet not a singh Senator on the Republican side had manti- ness or integrity enough to expose and de- Tout the fraud, Wherever, then, we look In the official Republican organization we find moral decline an grieved at such an exposure of political indecency and immorality as is contained in Senator SumNeEn’s recent speech upon Gen. Grant. The present would indeed be a fatal day for the republic if the majority of the people were equally un- fortunate with such Senators, Representa- tives, and journalists; but we believe that virtue enough still remains to turn them and their master out of power; and the election in next November will determine whether this belief be well or ill founded. —— Shameful Barbarity in France. The ferocity with which the Tuters Gov- ernment continues its warfare upon all who are suspected of having been in any manner associated with the acts of the Commune is exciting deep disgust in Eng- land, even among those who give credence to all the reports of atrocities charged against the Communists; while in France the murderous malice exhibited by the successful party against their defeated an- tagonists is producing a marked reaction in the public mind. From all quarters re monstrances are put forth against any fur- ther shedding of blood, and there is now a large party in the Assembly in favor of amnesty. But the courts martial at Versailles, Saint Germain, Saint Cloud, and else- where, courts organized to convict, still continue to pass terrible sentence upon Communists after trials which are hideous mockeries of just ndare thus sowing seeds of new hatred which may yet pro- duce bitter fruit. The proceedings of these courts martial show an utter disre- gard for the principles of law or the rules of evislence, and there is no reason to doubt that many victims have been exe- cuted who were entirely innocent of any crime other than a passive acquiescence in the rule of a party which for some time represented the majority of the people of Paris. Numbers have been condemned PET MONON ee TS SINE eM innocence but for the fact that their wit- nesses dared not to appear before a court governed entirely by its egger desi editor of the Commu arnal Le ¥ ur, and a Secretary of the Executive on of the Commune, shows how personal feelings influence the mombers of these courts, It was proved: that Mr. Burssac opposed the execution of the hostages, acd mady every ‘effort in bis power to save the life of the Archbishop of Pa But the military av Lorities had intercepted a letter to his wifeu which he expressed bis opinion of the courts mar- tial, saying that no political man of any eminence had any chance of being acquit- ted, and this decided his case.

The houses in the Bowery near where the procession was formed displayed flags, and the whole street was gay with the colors of the Uulted States and of Germany, As the majority of the working- men In the parade are Germans, so the greater part of the spectators seemed to be of Teutonte origin. It was a gala day for the workingmen of New York. Thousands who did not march in the procession stood on the sidewalks, and attested the interest they felt In the parade by enthustastic cheering. ‘The procession was announced to start at 10 A. M., and would have started at that hour had the escort of police, as the President of the Eight-Hour League asserts, not arrived too late, It was L1Y before the procession started. The bands playing the Marseillaise and the Wacht am Rhein; the flags flying; the voices of t! spectators shouting and cheering; the marshals, arrayed in thelr best, galloping to and fro; the whole army of workingmen marching gayly ahead ; waving of handkerchiefs and cries of “Vivat" and “ Hugrah'—the spectacle was one worth witnessing. The workingmen seemed to feel the power of their numbers—they seemed cheerful and buoyant as they marched on under the cheering of the multitude. THE ORDER OF THE PROCESSION.
