PRINCIPLES.
The principles of the Kopub'ican
party brought on a civil war. Cux
rier. You don't say so ! . What a won
derfully bad set of fellows these Re
publicans arc, then, to be sure. His
tory informs tis that tho jwindjiles of
a lew colonists, who had settled in
America alout a century ago, caused
them to resist tho edicts of good
King Gqorge, which brought on a
civil war or seven years' duration.
We suppose the Republicans of the
present day must have iotUbed some
lortion ot their principles frobi these
pestivcrons fellows who, in 1770,
"left the plowshare In the mould,
- Theulekle In the muthorn grain.
Their tlocks and herds wiUiout a fold.
The corn ltalf-eirnerodon tho plain,"
aud shouldered their tru&iy rides and
did battle with the red -coated follow
ers of the said KingGcorge. Now;our
rraders will readily understand that
if car forefathers had had no princi
ple, this seven years' rtrifu wonld
have leea avoidsd, and we might yet
have Wen peacefully, living under the
Ireutfrcent rule ol the British lion.
Adherence to principles caused them
to resist the Stamp Act. Adherence
to principles caused them Vo throw
oveHioard the' tea in listen harbor.
Ia short, adherence to principles
caused them to do divers and sundry
Ulagercnt acts which King George
regarded as Cuius 'Jidli: Hence the
warol '.he Uevolutios. ;
Princi;nes are vtry awkwstd things
f possess, as tbeyrvery oitea get
tUir p.wetios$ iuto Jrctulje. We
way remark, however, thai principles
wver troubled the leaders of the
iVMmocrali's party.' They never had
nny lit stieak or, and wc have no fear
lLal tbe jirineiUs ol that party will
ttause any great civil commotion, un
lent they, should add largely to their
pretrnt slock. They don't hold any
at the present time that they are not
willing lo cbange or amend to suit
surrounding circumstances.

RAILROAD AGAIN.
The Findlay tapers, ar.d bo doubt
they express the views f the people
of rmdlay, favor tbe ljuiliiing ol
narrow caupe railroad tlong the
West Line. The narro sauge road
a few years ago was an experiment
in this country. To-;y tbere axe
many roads of this kind, ot three f.-tt
or less, and so lar uiy Lave oeen
pronounced a success, financially and
commercial! v. Tbev are built at
cost of Jess than half that of a com
mon gauge, and by ti e reports of
those roads now in operation, freight
an be carried at a less expense than
by the common roads. Running ex
penses are lighter, less capital is in
vested, and lets is required to insure
the same dividends. These rosds
have been extensively used In Eu
rope, and are valuable as feeders to
trunk lines, furnishing outlets to lo,
calities unable to construct a road of
greater breadth, or with not business
enough to insure the construction of
one. The only object to be attained
by building a railroad is to furnish
speedy and cheap trsnsit of freight
sad passengers. If, as claimed by
Hie friends of the narrow gauge sys
tem, freights can be carried at a less
exjense than by the common gauge
system, the great object is attained,
and we see no reason wby such an
one should not be constructed on the
West line. The organization of the
T. & C. Company is still alive, and
the stock subscribed is available for
a road of any width, nd tbe Direct
ors of the company should at least
investigate this subject, and if such
. 1 . ?! 1.
a road can tie touiiii w iucci an iuc
wants of the country through which
it would pass, and at the same time
can be built by private subscription
from Kenton north, wc have no doubt
tbe people along the line will respond
liberally. We should at least like to
hear tbe views of others upon this
subject.
Howling Green wants a railroad, a
broad gauge if she can get it a nar
row gauge if not and a narrow
gauie, anyhow, if it can lie demon
strated that such a road will enable
us to successfully compete with other
towns in the shipment of lreights.
We have not the fignres, Iwit be
lieve the estimated expense of build
ing a narrow jrauge road ia aliout
19,000 per mile. It is sixty tones
from Kenton to Toledo and the total
cost will approximate COO,000. Of
this amount the different counties
ought to be able to raiso 8300,000,
including what assistance can be ob
tained in Toledo. Half of the amount
would then be provided for, and we
would have a road worth $10,000 per
mile, on which to issue bonds of
5.000, as nood, if notlwlter, security
than is given by roads of greater
magnituae, and with only one ol jec
tion. i. c. it would have more busi
ness than facilities to do it, which.
however, makes it ail the belter as
au investment. Jlmnhvg Urccn Vn
tmel.
Findlay, like Howling Green, wants
railroad, ana it was mis laei, to
gether with tho additional one that
we are not likely soon to have
broad gauge road, that led us
pronounce in favor of tho narrow
gauge. So far as our present infor
mation on the subject extends,
much prefer a road of ordinary gauge.
A narrow gauge road must be purely
a local one, as it would necessitate
the breaking of freights at lotb ter
-.ami If it was completed to Colum
bus (as originally proposed) it could
not compete with the East line,
any other line, as a coal road, because
on an ordinary gauge road the coal
could be put on the cars at the mines
and run through to the city of Tole
do, wheren3, with a narrow gauge
vod on the West line, the coal would
have to be re-shipped at Columbus.
If the Columbus and Ferrara road
would adopt tho narrow gauge,
should then be prepared to tako
more favorable view of the matter.
However, the agitation of Che mat
ter will do great good, and we join
the fimtinel in recommending
consideration to tho Directors of the
T. & C. road. Findlay needs a north
and south railroad, and will do her
share toward any enterprise which
promises to supply that want. If
narrow gauge is not feasible, then
us nave a roaa oi ordinary gauge
from Tolodo to Kenton.
THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
We publish this week the call
the Republican Central Committee
for a Convention to bo held August
GOth.tho basis of representation (one
for every ten votes) gives an oppor
tunity for every Republican ia the
County to exerciso a controlling in
fluence in shaping tho work of
Convention. This it is their duty
do. It will do no good to aenounce
"salary grab" or any other "grabss"'
unless the people come out to
primary meetings of the party
which they belong, and by their vote
and influence help ehapo the politi
cal action or the future. This is our
only method of purifying our politics.
TJie xpork of jmriuatton mttsl begin
in the primary meetings of the parlies.
If Republicans, or Democrats (.lor
wca re speaking to the people) remain
at home, and allow a low interested
politicians to mould 'tho action
their party, they have no reason
eomnlain when they discover that
Ihey have been duped and swindled
by these self-same politicians. Re
member, then, Republicans, that
your primary meetings will be held
at 2 o'clock P. M.,on Monday, Au.
ust 2.", and do not fail to do your
duly by attending. Here is whero
you can best exercise your privilege
ot helping to shape the action of your
party. Ai ter tho party conventions
are held, your choice is narrowea
down to two candidates, and it
very often ''Hobson's choice.
ssy these things because the experi
ence of the past proves them to
true, and because the exigencies
the future demand that they should
be said, aud we hope Democrats
weli as Republicans will pront there
Tub Cincinnati Gazelle speaking
tho approaching canvass, very truth
fully says that while the new party
movements have failed because there
is nothing upon which to bane Huch
an organination, and while tbe con
test for control must be 1etwceu
existing parties, party lines are
tightly drawn, and a large number
of Republicans and Democrats
be governed in their choice of tickets
by tho character of the candidates.
They will at the same time lie exact
ing in this respect, and it is our
pression that the old cry to vote
whole ticket will not have lbs usual
weight. This is not to bo regretted
On the contrary, it is to bo commend
ed. The way to reform is to tlec; good
men toollice, and when party mana

a good deal of attention. This year
the "CrBt bale" was raised in Cameron

and sent to Rrownsville, whencsit was
almost immediately shipped to New
York. Arriving there, it was on
Tuesday sold at auction, in front ot
the New York Cotton Exchange, and
brought thirty-six cents a pound, al
though tho current quotation of cot
ton at the time wts but twenty one
cents. This valuable bale goes to a
print cloth factory at North Adams,
Massachusetts. Usually Galveston or
New Orleans takes the lead as the
shipping jiort of the "first bale' of
cotton, but this year Brownsville was
ahead.

alion ot the towns along the lino of
the Road, as well as the friends of
the enterprise in Columbus and To

allow the Road to be built, before we
go too far in the matter. Findlay
Jrffertonian.
It is quite evident, that if Findlay
gets any new Railroad, it will be on
a "narrow-guage,'' unless the inter
ests ot that town are managed by
somebody ot broader "guage" than
its press and eomo of its citizens.
Tbe stupidity shown in stuff like the
above, and in the cry of "stop my
paper," constitutes a sarry reliance
in Railway building. Findlay is a
prosperous, thriving town, 'vith a
trade attractive for any market, and
we should be glad to Bee 'communica
tion between it and Toledo improved ;
but that can hardly be effected by
the policy oi force,on which Findlay
seems largely to rely. . We had sup
posed that such things succeeded
best on the basis of mutual advanUga
and voluntary action. But as
some of our West line friends think
differently, we suppose they must be
indulged in a trial of their plan.
Tokdo Commercial,
We were laboring under tho con
viction that all action heretofore and
as well as that proposedwas volun
tary,'' and so far as "mutual advan
tage' is concerned we believe the
fact that Findlay has "a trade at
tractive for any market," a stated
above is sufficient evidence that the
"West Line" enterprise would be
mutually advantageous. But fortu
nately we are not confined to the
Commercial for evidence in the.mat
ter. The people of Toledo, against
the expressed desire of the Commer
cial, decided by a vote that a road
on the West line would be "advanta
geous." The trouble about the course of
the Commercial is that while it pre
tended to be a friend "of the West
line, it used its position as an ac
knowledged friend of the enterprise,
to stab it on every favorable occasion,
And when one of our citizens, dis
gusted with the double dealing of the
paper, wrote lo Waggoner to stop it,
he whined "persecution," and his
reference to the matter in the above
paragraph is evidence that he has
never forgiven the gentleman for re
fusing l rea l his treacherous thrusts
at an enterprise in which the people
of Findlay were deeply interested.
The ''policy of force" forsooth ! No
force was necessary, unless it was in
the case of Waggoner and the Com
riicrcta.and no one deemed the influ
ence of cither sufficient to justify the
employment of either force g 'persua
sion " We sjmak now of West liners ;
M.Greene and the East liners may
have regarded tho matter in another
light.
Of coirce. when we spoke of ask

it as a joke. We had no idea that
antlKrdy would ask bus, and if that's
what's Iroubling him, we think he

OUR GERMAN LETTER.
From our Special Correspondent.
Messrs. Editors: The expense of
living in this country depends much
upon the individual aud manner. It
can be made cheap, and vice versa
However, a very fair kind of living
can be Lad for less money than in the
United Stales. The majority of the
articles of consumption are much
chewier, and the preparation contsvery
little I wrote to you about the dif
ference in prica of a coat. Boots ami
ehoi's stand at about the same reduc
tion. I will iive you the standard of
Prussian money, so that I will have
less inconvenience, and you can, if you
choose, find the value of each amount
to a mil'. Gold, silver,' and bank-notes,
are all on a level." Six dollars in
greenbacks are worth seven Prussian
dollars. Eich Primim dollar m divnl
ed twelve eqaal parts, and each part
is called a pfenning!-. A dollar is nlo
divided into threw equal parts, and
and these piece i are called "in irks.:
And again a dollar isdividd iiuo hit
equal parts, and each part calh-1 a
"Cnf groschen" (5 groacheiis). Th-re
are pieces worth . two-thirds of
dollar, or twenty gro.tclien, billed
"guilde's." There is also a two ami
half groschen and two groc.hen, and
three pfenninge pieces. Thexo ar
silver, (there are dollar bauk-uolfn,irt)
except the pfenninge, uhit h, of nc-
cesity, are pnncipaHy alloy.
A pair of boots are made to order,
(sewed) for V and L'O gr. ; a pair of
fine kid gloves cost 11 groseht-n. All
liquor., beers, wines, and tobaccos
are very cheap. A good German
ciar though the tobacco is not so
good as in America costs one gros
chen, and the majority of cigars used
cost only about a cent a piece. Such
articles as quinine, opium, silk goods,
gold and silver ware, would yield
large profit in importation, if there
was no tariff. Such stationery as
books, papers, pens, charts, maps, and
pencils arc a little cheajer, whil t a bot
tle of ink, which in Findlay would
cost 10 cents, is here worth ')gro.:chens
And a pino-apple, wliich in New York
would cost 20cts , is here worth two
dollars. Oranges are worth 5 gros
clieus. Strawberries, cherries, and
all those fine fruits, are not halt so de
licious and cost much more than
America. 1 thiuk I wrote to you that
beefsteak was worth 30 cts per tmtind.
Il.im, cured, U worth l -gr. per pound
All meats ara high Libor is so plenty
that even the skillful rtfeivo a small
pittance per day. On account of this,
articles which require much time and
labor in manufacturing are cheap,
havo seen a good piano, which cost
only 200 P. dollar. But those articles
which require wood aro much more
coolly than in America, such as fur
niture, wagons and barouches, and
that class of goods. So far as I have
seen there is not in Germany a fine
buggy, or what wo Ohio people gen
erally call "carriage" A clumsy.
easy old barouche takes their place.
Such wheels ami tires I never saw bo
fore on a vehicle iutended for pleasure.
I do not exaggeiato when I say that
they aro large and aubslaiitial enough
lor dray wagons. In -vt;ry thing,
lens attention is given to style, but
durability and ease aro the predomi
nant aituH. But this u enough on ex
penses.
It is the objects which surround
us ami with wliich we are conversant
that form our ideas. It is the differ
ence between ideas or opinion i which
is the cause of different forms ot gov
ernment and laws, and marks the line
of demarcation between tho character
of one nation and another. The in
stitutions and customs ot all people,
once thoroughly established, and firm
ly rooted, are tho most owerfiil in
struments in forming the minds and
characters of that most vilat part
a nation which is continually being
ushered into maturity. And there
no single part of their customs which
is more effectual than tho mannc- and
places in which they meet for social
intercourse, and the character of their
amusements. For this reason, firstly,
and secondly, because it is that with
which a stranger soonest becomes fa
miliar, I shall write the remainder
this letter on the manner in which the
masses ot Hanover spend their leisure.
Until 18GC Hanover, for mauy
years, has been a kingdom. Die
city of Hanover, having naturally
beautiful situation, was made
more showy by the royally and
aribtocrscy which always gathers
about the courts of kings. And, al
though Blind George no longer wears
tho crown, his Royal Palace and
King's Theatre in the city, bis sum
mer residences, drives, walks and gar
dens, royal stable, horses, and all
private properly,are kept as they were
when he sat upon the throne. There
is nothing of interest in the Royal Pal
ace or King's Theatre except that
they are large, and built of sand stone.
But his private grounds, just out
the city, are well worth seeing. One
of the two lines of street-cars in Han
over, carries out every day, hundreds
of. common people. The poor, those
who aro disposed to do so, walk
while the more aristocratic ride
their easy old barouches, with a driver
high in front, in full livery, a cockade
on his hat, white gloves upon his hands,
grasped within them four lines and
whip, which he flirts and "cracks with
the roost infinite satisfaction, as down
through the long rows of stately elms
he leaves on one side the slow trotting
street car, and fin the other the slower
pedestrians. Ouce into the grounds,
there is plenty to am une tin. There
are groves composed of iraes from
parts of the world, lawns studded
with flower and rloweriug 'shrubs
hot houses with tropical plants, fruits
and flowers; two of the prettiest
palm houses I have yet seen ;
representation of theatre (plan taken
from the one atMarseilles) with fifteen

a species of beech, with thick green

On l.i.-i. Sunday week, I went, with
some f lien, li out to tiiu Z Milogiea'
Garden. It is more 1'ian half a mile
from ih 2 city, iu the prettiest forest I
have seen in Gerun iy. Much pains
have been taken to .nake the lairs and
cases of the animals as natural as
possible. From North America I
noticed tho bear, wolf, wild cat, buf
falo, elk, deer, rabbit, beaver aud
several other animals. From all the
other great divisions of tho earth
there are a great number. In this
garden is a catacomb more than two-
thousand years old, which is tmed as
a beer cellar. They sell a good quaii
ty (I gr. per glash) and it is a cool,
pleasant placo to sit ; besides, there is
something novel about it- Every
Sunday afternoon thcro is a concert
here, and beforo I was yet satisfied
with what was to me curious, itj had
begun. Tho u'.usic was sweet, the
weather fine, and hero too was that
same contentment which is seen every
where in Germany. Coffee houses are
an essenti:d part of these gardens
Every one drinks coffee, wino or beer.
But it mu.it be remembered that both
the kind of wine and beer, and the
manner of drinking it arc much differ
ent from that in America. There are
many kinds of wine, and also of beer,
Some kinds of beer havo little more
stimulating power than coffee or tea.
For instance, "Weitzen bier"' (wheat
beer) is a very sweet, thick drink, both
in consistency and color resembling
boiled cider very much, and quite a
different article from American lager.
There is still a greater difference in
tho manner of eating and drinking.
A group of Germans sit down around
a tablo, take off" their hats and gloves,
and wait patiently till the waiter
comes and takes their order. When
what they have called for comes, they
eat or drink a litllo, and talk a long
time. "Tims they are satiated when
they have taken enough. Tho Amct,
lean is quite different. Ho is in
great hurry. Ho rushes to his homa,
or lunch room, calls for what he wants,
aud then puts it into his stomach at a
fearlul rale. And, if iu this process
of cramming there is any danger of
choking, he just opens the valve into
his oesophagus (ho is very ingenious)
and pours down enough drink to take
away the obstruction. If a German
is not in a great hurry, it will take
him thirty minutes to drink a glass of
beer. It takes an American just two
sccouds and a halt. The American
seldom knows ho has enough until he
is foundered or drunk. Yet, the
Germans, men and women, aro a na
tion of beer and wine drinkers, yet
they are among tho healthiest, hap
piest, most prosperous and temperate
aitions. In many ot the sciences and
arts, especially tho polite arts, they
stand pre-eminent. But now I have
written of beer more than the Zoolog
ical Garden, you think. "Well, I will
analyze these words. "Zoological''
when used with tho word "Garden'
departs from its primitive meaning
and means of course as yon under
derstand "a placo where animals are
kept for exhibition." But tho word
Garden, here, always means a place
for amusements and pleasure, where
coffee, wine and beer, are sold and
drank. Besides this, tho custom of
drinking wine and beer is bo universal
that I should think that I had not
touched upon the customs of the mass
es if I had not written of it.
This same Sunday evening, at 7 o'
clock, I went to a garden in tho city,
called Bella Vista. This is a floral gar
den, and is quito pretty. I walked
until I was tired, and then sat down
and looked over tho programe, where
I saw fire-works advertized (don't
think strange of my reading a German
programe, for the common words in
German arc also anglo-saxon ) About
9 o'clock the people fillod np the
benches, which were arranged on
on three sides of a beautiful little ar
tificial lake, and crowded the isles and
rear with chairs andpeople standing
Soon the band stopped playing, and
one rocket and then another and
auothcr shot np hundreds of feet in
the air, and bursting, scattered the
fragments of flame over tho tree tops.
Tbeso were the signal for commence
ment. I have seen greiter displys ot
Gre works in America, but under dif
ferenl circumstances Here Lad come
together, just for amusement and tha
too on a Sabbath evening not less than
5,000 eople, who were seated on
three aides of a clear little lake, on the
other side ot which, among tho trees
and grins, were the beautiful flames,
whirling, circling, whizzinir, darting
and sho ting, filling the trees with
splendor. This effect was doubled by
reflection in the little lake below.
The first week I was hero, I . was
walking through the principal and
most fashionable part of the city, with
out purpose, unless it was to kill a
ccupleot hours for which I had no
use. I noticed that most of the peo
pie were moving in one direction.
Elderly gentleman and ladies, middle
aged and gay young men in soft
clothes, white kids, a tile and cane.and
with them ladies in flounces and rauze,
all moving one way. I thought that
they must be going some where, so I
went with them. We turned down
one broad atreet, crosied the railroad
and were before a lare building, with
I
porch in iron:, over which were ;B
Roman letters this single word Tivoli.
I did as the rest did, (except that be
ing only a visitor.my ticket cost 1 $ gr.,
while they paid 2.) and walking
through a ball probably 40 ft. wide
and 100 ft long, we entered the gar
den iUselt It not lr.;j, and of
a polygon shape. It U lighted from
all sides and the interior with gas
lights, vn small and some large,each
in orrenjionding globe. Th-t globes
I think, are six different colors, aud
there ar- m tins litl'e garden sixteen
thousand of these g n lights. The or
chestra is composed ot nearly two
hundred, and I could read enough of
the programme, to see the names of
Mozart, Ilendel, Mendelssohn and
other masters. Here meet the It torn,
promenade, hear the maic, enjoy the
open air1 and they too, drink beer.
It is a fine plaoe, and I only wish each
of yon could see it.
With my best wishes,
GEORGE.
THE TRUE POLICY.
Tbe U. S Economist has the fol
lowing sensible article on what ia
generally called the "Western fever,"
and the duty of the organization
known as Patrons of Husbandry. We
commend it to the attention of our
farmers :
It is a common source of objection.
with foreigners to our form ot gov
etnrUent, that it render impossible
any steady commercial policy. What
is done one year is subject to be un
done the next ; what is effected by
one administration, is destroyed by
its successor ; what is approved at
one time is condemned at another. It
is not proposed to dispute this fact.
but only the inference drawn from
it. It ia true that we hold steadily
to no commercial policy, but we re
card this by no means aa a valid
cause of objection to our form of gov
ernment. Rather should it be a cause
for approbation. The errors of one
generation, of one party, of one man,
are peacefully correc'el by another.
There ia no violent reaction, m. rev
olution, no blood shed, as iu other
countries, when past errors are re
quired to be corrected, lhere would
have been no sanguinary revolution
in France had the tyranny, the mad
ness, the financial extravagance of
Louis XV. been nipped in tbe bad
which Henry US. allowed to appear ;
and there would have been no anti-
corn law riots in England had the
oppressive commercial policy, that
gave rise to them, not been of an
cient origin and long growth,
The farmers'grangea which are now
assuming such formidable propor
tions in our Western States,have or
ganized to repair an error, the evil
effects of which were long since per
ceived by thinkinz men, and frequent
ly pointed out in the columns of this
journal, and, indeed, the press gen
erally ; but it takes lime for the mas
ses to learn that they have been
hookwinked, and the most the press
can do in the meanwhile is to contin
ually point out the cheat In this
case our Western people, misled by
the fine phrases of unscrupulous ad
venturers, gave their assent to the
National and State subsidy of vast
railway lines, whose principal work
has been the removal and dispersion
of population beyond the limits from
whence the shipment ot their proa
acta to market will pay. Certain
trans-continental lines, tor example,
by the tempting offer of cheap lands
to Ohio and Illinois farmers, have in
duced the latter to remove thousands
of miles farther West,f rom where they
now find they cannot ship their pro
duoe to market at a profit. This dis
persion of population does no good
for the country. It csn neither m
crease the population nor enhance it!
Yet Congress, elected mainly by the
very people most to eventually suffer
from this dispersion, voted some 97U,
000,000, and hundreds of millions of
acres of public lands to the Pacific
railways which have carried out this
policy under the names of "develop
ing the resources of the country . It
develops nothing ; it only dissipates
or disperses; and this is what the
farmers' granges aie beginning to
discover. But even the granges have
not fully discovered this yet. They
still hans to the absurd idea that
wheat can ba shipped 3,009 miles by
railway and still yield a profit, and
tlie remedies they proposo are a re
duction of the tariff on iron rails and
a Curtailment of railway privileges
This is well bo far as it goes, but it
docs not go far enough. Before the
farmers can again enjoy the prosperi
ty they did before the land grant
policy was adopted, they must come
back "nearer home." Iboreispien
ty ot good land still in the Middle,
near-by Western, and Bcrder States.
Let them get back to this bottom,
and our word for it they will do lar
better than by attempting to lay the
iron monster they have invoked by
means of any such measures as they
propose.

"I AM DYING, EGYPT. DYING.
The Bichmoad (Va.) Ekouinr. of
late date, has this allusion to the
death of General W. H. Lvtle. of
Ohio, who was killed in 1S63, in a
heroic attempt to reinforce General
Thomas :
He was killed, far in advance of
his command, while gallantly leading
an assault npon our lines. His horse
bore bis corpse into our lines, and
the steed and his dead rider were
both captuiet'. S ion as it was
known that tli au'.bor ot that rare
poem, as familiar and greatly ad
mired South as North, "I am Dying,
KiTVPt. Dving." lav dead in the
csuip, omcsrs ana men crowuea
around to take a last look at tbe poet
soldier who had achieved so great a
literary triumph. There was no re
joicing over the death of this fallen
enemy ; but there was in truth some
thing on each soldier's cheek that
for the moment washed away the
stains ot powder. Tenderly they
trok him ur. and when the battle
was over an escort of honor, appoint
ed from among the leading Confeder
ate officers, bore him back to his own
camp, under a flg of truce, on a
rudely constructed funeral bier with
hia martial cloak around him. Ia
life he had touched that chord of hu
man sympathy which makes all the
world kin and in death its harmo
nious vibrations ailenced all resent
ment, and tbe hearts alike of friends
and foes with a nobler passion than
hatred or revenge.
THIRD TERM TWADDLE.
What there ia in the "third term"
Question to excite the ire of certain
journals thronghout the country, for
the life of us we cannot make out.
President Grant has authorized the
statement that he has given tbe mat
ter no thought ; leading administra
tion polititiana say they know noth
ing about it ; the people are as muc-i
in the fog, and even more indilf jrei.i
iust vet than the polr.ilians.
Nobody seems to have any di fi
nite information on the subject ex
cept those journals that are pleased
to be angry about it. It is the most
persistent attempt a', making Mmuch
a lo about nothing" the history of
modern politics affords Should
these blatant defamers of the Presi
dent con inue their senseless tirade
of aluie much longer, there is jutt
a possibility they may incline the
people wto have faith in Grant to
support him for a third term, if for
no other than tbe double purpose of
vindicating him from unjust assaults,
and showing the world that our insti
tutions are too deeply seated in the
hearts of the masses to be overturned
by any man, no matter how many
times he may occupy the Preiiden
tial chair.
Whether or not Grant will seek re
nomination and whether or not he
ought to get it are questions far in
the future. Issues may arise be
tween this and 1876 that would en
tirely change the complexion of our
politics. Hut there is one thing cer
tain, and that is that the third term
argument is premature, and ao far"5s
affairs now stand, ot little weight.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Tnt ravages ol the cholera at Mt
Vernon, Ind , are simply terrible. A
dispatch from Kvansvillo say :
"More than one half the population
have left the town, many hundreds
coming to this city, and others are
now preparing to leave unless a fa
vorable chango occurs immediately.
No pretense of business of any kind
has been made for seven! days, and
the city has a most deaeriod aud
gloomy appearance. Physicians have
arrived from several of tbe surround
ing towns, and are rendering all the
assistance in their power. Among
tbe deaths to day were Dr. Mabedoril,
a young German physician of much
promise, who has, since the appear
ance of the epidemic, been most act
ive in his efforts in behalf of tbe sick
and dying, and John Woody and two
daughters. The latter were tbe last
bat one of a family of ten who have
within the week been cut down by
the terrible disease. It has happened
in three distinct cases that four
deaths have occurrei in a single
family, in one instance leaving but
one living, Dut there has been no
case equaling in sadness this one."
The reports concerning the illness
oi Vice President Wilson have been
very contradictory, but it ia now nn
deratood that he has really been very
ill, and the indications are that he is
afflicted with a species of paralysis.
There are rumors, and they appa

result of the attack is the loss of the

WAR TO THE KNIFE.
There is trouble ia the Demo-
Liberal camp. We cannot state it
better than in the language of Brin
kerloff, in the Mansfield -Liberal.
Under the above sanguinary and sig
nificant heading, he says :
To c very sane man it has been evi
dent for years that tbe Bourbon ele
ment of the Democratic party is the
only obstacle in the way or the over
throw or the brant oligarchy which
now rules and ruins the country
1 he 1 Mirbons have had control of
tbe party organization, and like the
dog in tlie manger ; they will do
nothing themselves or permit any-
oouy eiae to no anyuii.ig.
Tbe fact thai the gre.it masses of
the Democratic patty are tick unto
death, and nauseated beyond en
durance by the everlasting discussion
oi worn out issues, does not weigh a
feather with these Bourbon leaden.
They are in command, aud year idler
year tne conorta are led to slaushter.
To all overtures of union, harmony
or co-operation, they seem to be as
deaf aa adders, and the hunt eoes on
with zeal. In this condition of affairs
ot curse the Liberal Republicans of
the State are not indifferent specta
tors. They have thus far remained
comparatively si'.eat, but this will
not remain lorever. They propose
to see tair play, and, if necessary,
when the proper time comes they
will take a hand in the fray. They
desire union and the cordial co
operation of all the elements of op
position in the State, and to secure
this they have always been willing to
meet half way anywhere upon neutral
ground. - But it .may as well be un
deratood at linen and forever that tha

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.
DiCn S.nitK, l th.t Cincinnati
Gazette u a very mild nit-u. He has
been endeavoring to convince tbe ed
ltors f certain Cincinnati papers
that they were misrepresenting mat
ters, in certain charges they were
making. He told them they were
mistaken, that they were prevarica
ting, exaggerating, etc., and finally, in
his desperation, offered to bet (500
that the charges were wholly untrue.
All would not do. The charges were
reiterated, nntil finally, the Deacon
losing all patience, replies after the
following emphatic style :
Well suppose we try our hands at
a denial that thevtairer will regard
as satisfactory. Having read the
inquirer and Commercial a good deal,
we may be able to succeed. In the
first place, then, tbe editor of the
hnqvirer. in charging that the Presi
dent has grabbed two years' extra
pay, did, with malice aforethought,
pen a deliberate falsbood, and for so
doing we denounce him as a scoun
drel and a blackguard. The editor
of the VolkshlaU, in charging that
Grant is working for a third term,
the editor of the Commercial, in
charging that Keck paid 140 for an
editorial in the Gazette, and in stating
that Keck told him so, is guilty of
double Ivinz. He knew when he
wrote the charge that it was
false,
and we apply to him the same epi-

Though the investigation into the
conduct of the Modoc campaign by
uapiain jacs anu nis associates wrs
commenced upon the 5th and con
cluded upon the 9th of this month,
the verdict has not yet been for
maljy made known. It is understood,
nevertheless, that the prisoners have
been adjudged guilty of the charges
against them. They had no counsel,
and depended entirely for justice
upon the tribunal before which they
were arraigned. Captain Jack made
a long speech in bis own defense.
He said that before tbe trouble he
was living near Yreka and was a
"good Indian so known to all the
whites, lived like the whites, subsist
ed npon what he could kill and catch,
and never hetrced. Ha denied anv
responsibility for the war, and del
dared that he always wanted to live
at peace. He was finally driven to
the lava beds by the attacks made by
the soldiers on his people. While in
the lava beds he still desired
peace, and because he advocated it,
the other Indians would call him
squaw." He also said that he knew
the whites would hold him responsi
ble for what was done, as he was the
chief.
SaMATOR Tauax an in a letter dis
cussing the proposition to drop the
old and take up a new name, under
which the Democracy may march to
victory, blunders upon a truth that
the Allenites and the Dem Libs will
do well to heed. A mere change of
name says Tbunnan, 'effects noth
ing,' and an attempt by politicians to
form a new party with no higher ob
ject than success never did and never
will succeed. The Baltimore Con-
vention fondly hoped to win by lock
Ck-

...
ti taiL "Dem-Liberal !' proved as
aa
unfortunate a name as could have
been suggested. Tbe people were
not deceived. The name of the ship
wss changed, to be sore, but there
was the same old crew with a few
sorehead additions, the same piratt
cal era ft, and the asme set of principles
Brinkerhofl thinks they could win if
he could make the ticket and christen
the party. Thurman knows better,
