HORRORS.

The Reds of Paris are rapping again of horror. The same insatiate demon which began three-quarters of a century ago with the murder of Louis XVI and Maria Antionette, and ended with the slaughter of the innocent and the helpless, is agiin at work. Humanity, crushed out'of shape by oppression, turns upon the oppressors and finally devours itself. Ignorance and brutality, fostered by tyrants for their own security in the past, has grown to bear its natural fruit. As sure as that the seed of pure Christianity and of education will bear flowers of peace, of love and of purity, so sure will the seed of oppression, rapacity and intolerance bring a rich harvest of error, of injustice and of vengeance.

It must be the will of God that the people of France, for their long years of acquiescence in the iniquitous rule of the Bourbon Kings, and for their devotion to Caesarism as represented by the two Napoleons, are suffering this dread expiation. Their humiliation is full and complete. A foreign foe scattered the French armies like chaff before the wind, occupied the capital and wrested a disgraceful peace froin the Assembly. And now a brutal and depraved mob takes possession of Paris, shoots down like dogs the brave Genorals Leeompte, Thomas and Vinoy, and in the namoof freedom perpetrates all those crimes which are the prerogative of despotic kings. Ricciotti Garibaldi, son of the Italian hero, leads the. mob. The crasod populace cry for vengeance and curse God. The materialist's hell has no darker horrors than those being enacted now in the city which represents usually all that is gayest and brightest in civilization.

And is tho prospect hopeless? Can it be that the French people have learned nothing in three-quarters of a century—that they stand in the same moral piano as in 1792, when they yelled fiendish approval of the death of the Princess Do Lamballe, of the King, of Danton, of Cainille Desjnoulins, of the Girondists, ot tho Nuns of Montm irtrc, of Charlotte Corday, "Angel of Assina-t-ion," of Madam Roland, and finally of ltohespierre himself? Will the old brute story be re-enacted in the murder of tho nobility, churchmen, citizens, magistrates, merchants, and finally tho people? As tho result of these fiendish excesses, will it take the strong arm ol kingly power to restore law and order? It inaj be so and yet tho lovo of freedom lies deep in the hearts of the French people. This deXftUpnJirts beeiw-all misdirected in.tha. trcauco. May it not, however, be utilized in tho future? Will not tho earnest aspiration of a poople, when free from sinfulness, moet its full fruition? Tho people of France are actuated tho samo hopo to-day as tho people of Germany, the people of England and tho people of America—tho establishment and preservation of constitutional liberty. This can only be secured by tho education and enlightenment of the masses. Tho rearing of a now monarchy upon tho ruins or tho old in

Franco will not permanently remedy tho present bad order of things, because it will pojrpetuato tho same abuses which now boar such horrid fruit. All things good are possible in these dnys The lifting up of the masses alone will bo tho salvation of France. And this elevation shall be. The cause of Republican government is not so weak to-day throughout the world as in 1792 and \meriea has proven that a lio-

ISIS. public can bo both strong and just, and England shows faith in tho new-world

experiment of equality. The sun-light of a new and bettor civilization dispels the fogs and clouds which encircle the governments of men. Old prejudices ot caste, old hero-worship, arc dying out from the hearts of tho people. Men begin to see dearly that no good comes from devotion to the divine right of kings.

temperance reform. A temperance Ijcket, tor- the coming municipal election, hai been nominated in Indianapolis. There i* much temperance excitement at Greencaatle, Bedford, and other points throughout the State. It i» evident that, in consequence of the dearth of exciting and interesting political issues, the temperance question looms up more largely now than at any time since the beginning of the late war. There is a determination to accomplish something which will doubtless result in temperance reform. There are, unfortunately, many impracticables who think that legislation alone will remedy the drunkenness of the land. They forget that intemperance is essentially a social question, and that in the nature of things it cannot be eradicated entirely by law any more than other natural vices like profanity and prostitution. The laws concerning the latter do not prevent young women from going astray—it is the moral sentiment of the community, and their own better natures, that keep them in the path of rectitude. If the reformers will but make it a thoroughly disreputable thing for a man to sell or drink drains, if they will so work upon the sentiment of the upper classes in towns and cities, who give tone and set fashion for the great middle class, as to make it a disgraceful thing to offer wine or liquors to guests, a reform will have been accomplished, the effects ot which will be lasting. And more than all, the reformers should go heart and hand for Woman Suffrage the adoption of which will sound the death knell of the influence of whiskey politicians.

THE Journal ridicules our prophecy that the Democracy will bo defeated next year if they fight the campaign upon the Blair platform of overturning the reconstruction measures. It should turn its attention to the N. Y. World, a tolerably good Democratic newspaper, which concludes a long and able article upon the issues of 1872, in its issue of March 15th, with these words: "To "make negro suffrage an issue now "would be an act of political suicide." Tho Journal should get the World straight on this question before it tries to over awe the independent press.

THE Charleston, S. C., papers arc indignant because Congress refused to appropriate §20,000 for the relief of the Sisters of Mercy of that city. There ire many soldiers of the late war living in this vicinity who will testify that the Sifters of Charity of Charleston were Angels of Mercy to our prisoners confined in that city at different times during tho war. Their charity was pure, noble and unselfish. Tho nation which refuses to recognize the services of this noblo band of women stands disgraced.

'ly sacrifice herself *lbr Evidently the noble girl of not have an exalted opinion "sphere" of woman in 1792. aspired to do something for her try, and she gained an early grave and an immortal name.

THK llouso investigation of tho West Point difficulties has produced no fruit, as the Sccretarv of War hns not fel obliged to regard the house resolution. Tho President is understood to have said that the action of tho House was ot no more consequence than the doings of a town meeting. There is now but one thing left for Congress to do, concerning West Point, and that is to abolish it. This action will yet bo demanded by the people from their representatives.

MR.S BROUOII, in a communication to

TWO PICTURES.

Iv tbejrtudio of Mr. W. R. Freeman, of thia city, there are two ideal pictures, Maud Muller,"and "Morning," which please the eye and satisfy the heart. In painting, as in acting, he whose work assimilates nearest to nature is master ofhisart. Joseph Jeffersonis the greatest American actor, because, without using a stagy look, or word, or gesture, he is able to work upon the emotions of bis audience as a practiced musician plays upon an instrument. There never yet were audiences so strange to Jefferson that he could not find the same chords of feeling responding to the magic of his acting. Mr. Freeman, like Jefferson, aspires to be natural, and he has succeeded. He delineates life—nothing more, nothing less.

The first of the pictures to which we have referred, "Maud Muller," is, of course, a New England scene. The landscape has that bright, moist look which pertains to the haying season. Looking steadily upon the picture it takes but a slight stretch of the imagination to believe that the swaths ate real, and that the air should be laden with the odor of new-mown hay. In the foreground,, by the spring, "with a "look of vague unrest," stands Whittier's sad ideal. An image perfect even to the torn bat, looks to the afar off. A new hopo is born in that bosom, a dreamy aspiration looks from the eyes. The picture is perfect—art can do nothing more for it.

Morning" is represented by a fair golden-haired child, with dimpled arms resting upon a table, contemplating an hour-glass. The clear-cut outline of the features, which reminds one of an antique cameo the delicate moulding of the neck and bust the light golden tint of the hair the faint llush upon the cheek the soft, brown eye and rosy lips, mjike a picture more beautiful than mortal has often seen. There is a dreamy, still look upon the child's face, like that which is dispelled from the quiet vales and meadows by the first rays of the morning sun. Light, dreamy and languid—this is "Morning." „,

PRESIDENT GRANT'S proclamation is right. The disorders of the South must be suppressed. The government which is not ablo to protect the weakest and poorest of its citizens is a failure. The Ku Klux seem disposed to reduce the blacks to a state of semi-slavery, or to exterminate them. At Meridian ten negroes were murdered and one white man was killed by a shot aimed at a black inan. The Southerners call this a negro riot. The American Constitution guarantees civil equality. The whites of the south cannot take the guns of the negroes without first disarming themselves. People say that Grant's proclamation means war, but it does not—it means peace. The Ku Klux do not speak for the respectable classes of the South. The members of the K'lan are the loafers, idlers and vagonds ofthe cotton States. There is
