Conductor and Vice-president
At a certain period, some six or eight
years ago, tho officers of one of our princi
pal railroads had good reasons for believ
Wig that, some ol the conductors up m a
particular scotiou of their roads were in
the habit of reudoring inaccuratr returns
of their receipts from "way passengers;'
aud as they wore unable to fix the dedal
nation upon the particular individuals.
I'inkerton was etnplovcd to investigate
the matter, and test tho accuracy ol'their
suspicions. For the execution of this
delicate service hp selected a Blflfioiont
number of his best men to furnish four
for every car iu a train one to be scaled
at euch door and two iu tho centre of
the car, the latter facing to tho front
and rear, so us to see every person who
went iu or out. These men were diroo
ted not to recognize each other, but to
pay their fares, and otherwise deport
themselves like ordinary travelers
Each one was provided with pencil and
paper, and instructed to keep un accu
li.te record of every person that entered
or left the cars, noting the stations to
and from whieh they traveled, etc . so
that if it the end of the trip ih rir n ite-t
were iu accord, it would be good evi
denco of accuracy. In this manner the
major was enable 1, in the course of a
few days, to make a det iled teport which
show? d conclusively that n-isrlt every
con Ii ctor lipon the section of road un
der surveillance had boon guilty of
swindling: He also ascertained that

'Vary well, Sir, I've no objections.

'Yes, Sir . J have a family."
?If it i* uot ab improper qi'stioo,
Col .ncl ?, will you sulfer me to

'Well, Sir, I don't know pVocisely but
it in something handsome
'Would you estimate It at half a mil
lion dollars, colonel?"
'Vcs, I dare say it is.'
'That boing the fact. Sir, il you will
do u?o the luven to disclohu to nie the
secret of the process by which you. in
teil yours, have been ablo to transmute
050,000 into tell times that amount,
without any visible means outside your
salary, will moat cheerfully toll you
ho.v I uavo managed, by turning an
.honest ponuy now and then, to amass
the comparative, insignificant amount
j * h*v?) named.'
'That ih all very well,' replied tho im
p'erturbablo vice president, 'but you
seem to have forgotten that thoro is a
slight difference between your statuo
mid mine upon the-Railroad, in that
you are responsible to me for st .filing
the company's money, whereas 1 am uot
accountable to you for my transaction?.
In viow of this fact, it now becomes my
duty to inform you that your services
are no longer required upon our
road.'
The facetious conductor probably nn
ticiputed this result, and with bis char
acteristic coolness remarked: *'Iu that
eveut, iSir, it may at sonio futuro time
become necessary for to seek employ
ment upon another road. Would it be
asking too much fur you to give me a
letter setting forth your eatimite of my

'If you desire iL, I certainly have no
objections to giving you a testimonial to

Why wc Honor tho Parly.
We arc suspicious of the-man who is
continually boasting of hi*' noble
ancestry. To kuow a man, we muit
know what ho is, not what.hia fathor
was. Noblo descent is well enough in
its place, but when a man has nothing
better to boast of than his pedigree, he
has reached the bottom, and is little
better than tho snail that looks up with
envy at the strong-wlngod caglo iu its
lofty flight. It is nobler trS\ABcend than
descend ; to improve on the fumi'v stock
rather than deteriorate. To fall back
upon tho reputation of our groat-great
grandfather to sustain our owu, is littlo
belter than robbing a grave to secure
the jewels buried in it. So With parties;
we honor them for what they are, not
what tl.ey were in days gone by. We
see nothing iu Democracy but the
shadow of u great name. When wc ask
what it has to commend it. to our con
fidence, its Tweeds aud Garvcys and
W.armouth, wiih their party plunder
concealed from view, point us to its
honorable past, before slavery corrupted
its honor, or treason destroyed its
political virtue. Not so with tie Repub
lican party ! to e glory in its past
achievements, because out of .them have
?row n it Spiesen t strength aud nobility.
What it was yosterday it is to-day, a
living, moving po'wer, excrlin > an in

from its enemies at home upj abroad ;

good ami rf?ffimeat reoaons we honor the
llupublicau party. We take just pride
in its past nchievments, because they
havo pi\en birth to our prcseut aspira
tions. Wc havo taken no tit in back
v..i;d. Some of our srandnT bearers
have proven false, bat the rank and tile
we e true, and loyal bonds caught up
-lie (dd flag and kept it afloat in the
vaiiguiiid ?I civilization. The* noblest
army will have its deserters, the noblest
party will havo its faithless servants,
but neither army nor party can suffer
as long ns the great body remains true
to the oauso. ibe Republican partv i
n-pre?eots the progresdvo idoas of the
people, uot tho ambitious designs of its
leaders The defectioa of a leader,-the
dishonesty ofa? official, the failure of a
t< present a tive to reflect the wishes of
his cont intents, have no other effect than
to arouse the pc'pic. to greater caution
in the selection of their public servants
The great political body is sound; its
faults aie few, anJ, when discovered,
easily remedied. A* the present con li
tiou of thu party is as worthy of com

add. rather lhau detract, from its glory.

A DiilVmicc ul' Opinion.
Tl ero is a slig'il difference of opinion
between Donmorats, North and South.
The hard-shells of tlu 8outh insist on
keeping Democracy on tho old Calhouu
platform, while their brethren of tho
North as strongly insist ou tearing up
the old planks ami replacing them ?villi
timber stolen from the Republican
reservat ions. To gain a now lease ol
power Northern Democrats are willing
10 make any sacrifice. To support the
family pride,and keep up the pot theory
ot "a whito mao's government'* South
ern Democrats refuse to yield their old
pro-elavery principles. The Southern
Hcntiment is honestly ctated iu the fol
lowing extract from the Memphis
Avalanche, (Dem):
"In fact the old Democratic party
managers havo been (brood by tho inex
orable logio of events to surrender crory
tbing but tho name. To this they still
cling in most of the States. Their plat
form is labeled 'Democratic,'though in
all, or nearly all essentials it is little
else thau a paraphraso of tho Republi
can party platform of the p ist few years.
As a measure of policy no objection can
be tnado j but to deliberntely smash one
pavlisau creed, filch a new one from
one's enemy, and then insist that, be
cause bearing the old nsme it is still the
same old creed, is to speak mildly, ar
rant hypocrisy. Tho doctrine held by A.
II. Stephens, by Robert Toombs, by
.Jefferson Davis, enuueiuted in tho Dem
ocratic platforms of 18G4 aud 18G3, by
Blunlou Duncan's Rourbcn Convention
which nominated Charles O'Couor for
1'rcsidcul lust year, is tho 'ancient Dem
ocratic fuitb.' It ij the simon puro ar
ticle. All other brands aro spurious ;
yet not a 'Democratic' Convention,
North or South, new ventures to incor
porate it ip a platform. If the old par
tisan creed?as is tho fact?has beeu
utterly al audoned; if to m.nin'nin a
.struggle lor mere existonce it lus b;
como necessary?as is tho fact?to
adopt, to so great an extent, tho Repub
lican party pi it form, why c!ic;? to the
old Democratic nn:no, especially since
that name has become so unpopular as
to biing defeat to auy organization tint
bears it? Thin is answered by a few
heroics ovor tho past career of thr>. olJ
party. Rut of what avail ? They can
not change minorities to majorities.
Public confidence in a political party
ouce lost cau uuvor bo restored."
Tlio I'ittaburg AW, (Dem ) publish
ed in cooler latitude, differs slightly in
opiaiou from the above extract. It
?ays :
"Tho Democratic party has been out
of power for twelve years. During all
tb.it period it has boon gaining strength, !
and but for the ucgro vnto it would at
this moment hold possession of our
Mate aud Geuernl Government. Cetn
plir^s^fstoVy l^thia'l^j^LVaH'i Wur
ol its oppoueuts, and boll greif, and
what proof it affords of the honest
tenacity of tho ft?d v??tin l' portion of
the party, tin rank and file. Tho Dem
ocratic party is replete with vitality in
every bouo and siucw and nerve. Tt
never can die while there remains in
existence oven a portion of tho Constitu
tion for which it can ounttnd. Wh n
that glorious old political party dies it
?..ill be proof that tho Constitution has
bceu utterly destroyed, und that the
last hope for man's self governmeut has
perished from tho earth."
Pmi it'S.
Panics, like extensive conflagrations,
have small beginnings, A spark has
within i' the power to lay in asl.es the
largest city. If fed I y combustiblp
material; it t-oon becomes a flame, before
which iron melts ind grauttc crumbles
into dust. So with panics. Words of
suspicion are the sparks that leads to
financial conflagrations. Distrust is
breathed from owe to anbbhor; instead
of being quieted by calm advice, it is
led by popular excitement. Those who
have leafct to io.-e are tho loudest in their
croaking* over coming fail.ires. A ru-!i
is made to s:'.crifi ?* st u-k that is both
profitable aud s.ife ; it is thrown upon
tho market aloig with funoy and worth
i l'^ss stock. A sem-o of insecurity seizes
tho buyer, and the result is, no sales, or
I ruinous sacrifices of stock t'i it only
needed tho restoration of eunfidauco to
i be worth more than ever. When a fire
j bro: ks out, efforts ate tnudo to ouofiue it
within its original limits. Hut the
breaking cut of distrust in a community
is the signal, not for united efforts to
ect.Coe it within its legitimate bounds,
or 'is suppression, but for a general
rush to Iced the flames by gossip, ill
omened prophecy, or groundless rumors
of some indefinable calamity. A rum ir
starts, affecting the financial standing of
soma bank official. It matters little
whether it bo true or false ; the whisper
is soen trau.-tormad into a storm. A
sudden ran in niado upon tho bauk ;
then upon other banks, ant il the whole
community is iu a ferment. If the
bauks hnvo facilities for prompt conver
sion of aecuritios iuto cash, tho storm
insy blow ovor ; but if distrust is wide
spread, money is locked up or held for
-ell protection, and banks that are
perfectly sound are drivon by sheer
necessity to suspend payment. No
reasouublo man can expect a banker to
pay interest on deposit* aud keop those
deposits locked iu his safe-, ready to be
' returned without a moment's notice;
yet tnca who claim to be reasonable act
at titnaa as if tho thought this to bo the
case. Hunks pay interest upon money,
because they can loau the money
received for a higher rate of interest j
than they pay. They tako securities
for monoy loaned. T j convort ihote
into money requires time ; and thos* ]
having deposits should be considerate
enough to grant it. The best ba.uk in
the country may be forced to suspend
payment ia the face of an unexpected
and unreasonable donsaud, especially if |
popular excitement has so unsettled
value? as to rendor tho conversion ef!
securities iuto caah altuo.t impossible.
Panics hhould be stopped at the moment
of their inception. Men of ability aud
judgmont should unite to tjuiot popular
distrust. Confidence should be strength
ened by every legitimate means. Deposi
tors, unless they havo good reason* for
domunding pay moot, should assist,
rather thin cripplo, the bank whose
credit and standing they depend upon.
Exceptional cases of failure tu iy occur
at any time, but a panic, such asroeeot
ly iwept over tho financial centres ol
the country, ought to be an impossibility.
We tru?t that the press of the land will
exert its powerful iufluenco towards
mai*itaiuiag a. healthy eta'c of public
confidence.
?nr Kost Mon for Ofllco.
To destroy tho Itepublicau party
because a few dishonest men havo crept
into ofiico through its power, would be
as wise as the killing of n healthy indi
vidual because a few boils trouble him.
The party neror was more healthy than
at present. The few officials that are
proven dishonest, arc, to tho jgroat bo ly
politic, what the spots on the Run are to
the blazing orb that gives us light and
warmth. 'As long as tlii masses' of tho
part, itself. Every Repablicin eonveu-'
tio:? which has met thus far lias place 1
i:s blf on record as being determined to
orive men from office who fail to prac
tice economy and honesty iu their public
ditties. We shall cover free ourselves
? ntircly from too influence of bad men.
Thoy will c.eep into powor in spite of
the proutiut core and watchfulnoas. Wc
nan. however, throw an increased pro
tection around the public scrvioo by a
more tliorough examination of the char
s etcr of tht m^n who present theraselvbs
for our support. A good citizen will
i oner ally mukv n good official. This is
a simple rule which, if practice 1 iu the
selection of candidites, will greatly pro
tect the public interests. Inquiro iuto
the private character of the man who
wants your vote, and if you find him
honest, industrious, charitable', a good
neighbor, and a public spirited citi/.eu,
y\ u cau aaf Jy give him your veto and
support. You may run the risk, even
then, of beiu - cheated; but the'ehadcea
will be so email that you can well afford
the risk. Hut to expect to seeurc an
honest official, in the man who never
pays his . debts, who takes advantage of
Ii s neighbor, whose character is staiuel
by iutemperanco or profanity, is to
expect a clear baltnee sheet in the
other world without payingyour printer's
bill iu thii. Nominate your best nieo

Who would think of condemning r

man would approve the prompt di.mis

then, should our opponouts denounce
the Republican party booauso it dis
covers among its thousands of officials a
few exceptional oasts of dishonesty ?
The party repudiates tho acts 6f die
honesty, and iho people put their stamp
of condemnation, not only upon the
oficuce, but upou the offender. No act
of dishonesty, or official guilty of crimo ;
no ij ttesttunable or iniquitous measures
have ever beeu condoned or protected by
the Republican party. As soon as
known, an earnest protest has gone up
against them, and those involved have
boon called to a strict acoouut This is
all that can be done. Individuals are
