OUR SATURDAY RIGHT.
. Soaaethlug to Stand Upon.
This evening the stars shine with
unusual brightness, and the air
seems purer, lighter and more life
like than ever before. Looking
oat from the room wherein we
urito, the picture is one of beauty.
Before us is one of the beautiful
park? for which the city ia becom
ing famous. We see trees, water
pouring from the fountain to fall
back into the great granite-rimmed
basin, the little waves and ripples
gleaming in the starlight. Through
the tree-tops, over the water we
see lights in windows.
So we know there are houses,
and people, and homes Over There
across the park over the rip
pled water, though we do not know
the names or the occupation of
those who will be oar neighbors
whenever we cross over to that
side of the park to live.- We
know somebody lives over there.
for lights have been lit; and the
more occupants from tune to time
finding homes in the growing
dwellings ; over there, the more
lights, the more evidence of life
and work and recreation on that
side, of the water as on this.
We see very clearly to-night
Across the park over the tops of
houses lhaough the evening at
mosphere to the stars the lights
in tue .Eternal mansion, wuicu
will be our home some day when
comes the hour to pass from dark
ness to light from labor to re
freshment. The room where wo are writing
is very bright also. The Qgures
in the - carpet seem alive, while
from the vase of fresh flowers be
fore us comes whispers of fragrance
as if the roses, the heliotrope, the
mignonette and the geranium leaves
were all telling us that they lived
and we o the same after being cut
down, as before. In humanity at
in plantsthere aro flowers and
there are weeds. But this differ
ence we may be weeds to-day,
but we can by self-culture, become
flowers to-morrow!
To-night we are very happy.
Our heart (s at rest and over the
inner (.tilings of life there sweeps
no breath of that blast, which at
times troubles and makes discord
ant the life of the best cf as. Why
this peace? We will tell you. .
Again have we won a victory.
Many the contest many the vie
tory in life. To night we add An
other to the list Not a victory
over others, but over ourstlf. It
was this wise;
Once we had a friend a- man
youjger in years than the writer
hereof. We loved him well, think
ing him true und deserving. One
day ho turned against ua to gin
proGt for himself, aad sought to
slab us to tho very life. : Not ot ce
alone, but flye times repeated .
Each attempts thus to wound left
a sore spot on the soul and we
said that whenever came the time
we would strike back and repay
his debt with interest abundant.
This afternoon came the hoar
for revenge. Misfortune overtook
him and stayed his step till wo
could strike. One word would
send him and hie houseless into
the street a word would let him
remain in his home. We thought
of the wrongs he had done us of
the sweetness of revenge. We
started oat to aay the word aud
tarn him into the street walked
on thought, and thought again.
We thought of oar old friendship
of the wrongs he had done us
of the efforts to Injure, sad how
glorious it waa to know am enemy
was at our feet and that we could
now strike, aa if to kill.
: a 'a '"'
We had oar revenge. To night
we have been oat. The houso
where he lived yesterday is there
still. Other houses ire there, as
yesterday. We approached the
place, clambered, with the aid of a
friendly policeman to the firat-floor
balcony to look through the win
dow. Thero by a table sat the
man, his wife and two children.
Innocent little ones what harm
had they eveir done any v one? In
the man's hand was aietter. It told
him that his real was psJd for three
months longer, till &e times would
be better -that a frtd had paid
it for him? VOaly that and nothing
more. ' - ...
He docs not: know who "Ms
lend" was but ; bra home ones
are happy, Se are we. - It is bet
ter to conquer one's self than to
strike a man when he is down .
The blow given - him would have
hurt others more. Itia bat alit-4
tie matter but such little matters

or, defeats. ;:"v--f.V'"
So. to-night, we fail ; better 1
happier- stronger. .The few dol
lars which helped him aad his
trembling ones might have been
spent ia dissipation or hoarded
for worse use. Ws have put
temptation rather than a fallen
man tinder oar feet, and. as the
temptation was great so can we,
standing thereon, feel lifted high

Specie Payaaeart.
Mr. Sumner holds that the sus
pension or specie . payments was
like the draft, the suspension of
ine naoeas corpus, ana like ex
traordinary acts, a war ' measure,
and with them should have ended
with the war. He believes it is
imperative now tnetapecle pay
ments be resumed. To this en J
the distineoshod Massachusetts
Sjasrator has introduced a bill to
authorize compound interest
notes as a substituA for legal -ten-
uer notes, issuing isem at toe me
of 810,000,000 every month, be
ginning July 1, 1772, and destroy
ing legal-tender notca to the same
amount. Thcso notes are ta be
convertible at the end of two years,
in sums of 9 100 or its multiple,
into bonds of the United States,
not uaving less man ten nor more
than forty years to run, and bear
ing interest at 5 per cent. Mr
Sumner is reported aa saying that
compound-interest notes have been
already tried, so that their - opera
tion is known. It ia their peculiar
qu khty that, at the tine of issue,
they enter into the national cur
rency and beeome part ef the ac
tive circulation; but aa the interest
accumulates they are gradually
witndrawn, and held aa securities.
So long as there ia Utile appreci
able accumulation of interest; these
notes pass from hand to hand as
ordinary greenbacks; but this
ceases with Iheiy increased value
How's This? The following

NapoTisM. The charge of nepo
tism against President Grant is
about exploded. Decent papers of
the opposition have ceased to in
terlard their editorials with con
stant reference to Grant's attach
ment to bis relatives. 'Archer,'
of the Muncie Democrat, and Ike
Julian, of the Richmond Radical,
occasionally aay something about
the President 'heaping honors and
emoluments upon hia poor, kin,'
and the New York San, edited by
a .disappointed oQce aeeker and
prince of black mailers, continues
to strike upon this one string of its
harp, bat the people have learned
to? laugh at these extravagant ut
terances as the stock in trade of
bankrupt politicians. And we onlyi
refer to the sabjcot at this time in
order to call the attention of our
readers to -the inconsistency of
certain gentlemen who have hith
erto possessed tha confidence of
the Republican party, and' who;
T know Cor reasons best known to
themselves, but not altogether un- ;
known to others, wage a relentless .
war upon the administration. '
Whether Isaao H. Julian speaks
for himself, as he pr.tands, or for :
'Brother George and brother $
Jake, he is the last man id the -
world who- should blame another -for
looking after his relatives. It
is a notorious fact that he received ,
the Richmond P et Office through
the influence or hta brother, Hon.
George W. Julian, and not in ao-
cordance with tie wiahes of a ma- -
jority of the citizens of Richmond-
Was this Nepotism on the part of
Hon. George? .
Was it Nepotism on the part of
Hon. Georgo when he ao vigorous
ly saught to secure tho appoint
ment of Jacob, B. Julian to the life '
position of United States Judge
for tho- district of Indiana, and
only failed because 'Old Abe' pre
ferred David McDonald .
Was it Nepotism on tU part of
the Hon. George whan he secured
the position of page for a son in
the Houso of Representatives, and
of clerks in,tbe General atd Of
fico for anothe son and aerobe w.
ai it is uepobieui oDr mo pari oi
President Grant to appoint half a
dozen relatives to minor "offices.
when he has thousands of offices
within his gilt, what must be said of
Mr. Julian who provides, out of
the limited number at bis disposal,
for almost all the members of hia
family and his brother's family,
and seeks places for the balance.
We have a very great respect for
Hon. George W. Julian, and would
have him 'preserve his fair fame
untarnisnea. uuc tne comparisons
hia brother Isaac continually seeks
to provoke are edtooe, and will do
bim no good. We would suggest
to him that he put another head to
the family organ, one not so reck
less in statement, and with aome
little respect for consistency.

A. J. on Passivism. -
Andrew Johnson has given his
views on the passive policy for the
democracy. He has been inter
viewed by a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, and held
forth as folio x-s.
"What is that but a surrender?
A surrender is as bad as a defeat,
and worse. If we nominate a
republican on a republican plat
form, what have we got to contend
for? No; that would be nothing
but a disgraceful fight for spoils,
aud if successful there would be an
everlasting wrangle. The demo
cralic party has a higher mission
than to surrender its principles in
the hope of getting a share of the
plunder. This plan is a Vallan
digham departuro on a large scale,
and is a farce and a fraud. What
was the Valiandigham departure?
It placed the Democratic party in
the position of whining curd stand
ing on the outside and saying to
the radicals inside: 'Now you get
out and let us in, and we'll carry
out your plaus rnd get oh your
platform. Only let us hare the
spoils nod we will do just as yen
are doing That was the Valian
digham departure. It was a pro
posed surrender of principle for
place and spoil. There should be
no craven and cowardly surrender
of tho sort. Never in the history
of the . government has pure De
mocracy moro to fight for than
now."
Information has been received
by the. Board of Indian Commis
sioners that the reoent heavy snow
storms on the Plains are causing,
great Buffering among the Indiana
engaged in their annual hunt for
buffalo. At latest advices, both
Spotted Tail's and Red Cloud's
bands of Siox, in large numbers,
were hunting on the Republican
Fork of thePiatte river, where the
storm raged heavily, and fears are
entertained that many of the In
diana have perished, and numbers
of their ponies have been lost in
the storm. V;
Different minds have different
capacities, and no mind can be
driven to love that for which it
has no taste. First, seek to un
derstand the natural abilities and
disposition of children, and then
in your management of their edu
cation for after life, govern your
aelf accordingly. George Combe,
the greateat moral philosopher of
his day, could hardly rcckoa In
simple addition, and Colburn, the
mathematician, could not write
out a oommon-place address.

A Frightful Stoky We do

The Rev. Dr. Hankins, of Ridgo

out that Mrs. Parker caught sight
of it and went Into a spasm. An
effort was made by the physician
to seize this one with his tweezers,
but it disappeared down her throat.
The snakes captured were, as we
have stated, between ten and four

described them as being nearly as
large cs his little finger. They
had a peculiar join! about an inch

Judge M'Kemy decided on Mon
day last that tho veterans at the
Soldiers Home, near Dayton, have
no rights that Democratic Judges
are bound to respect. The do-
vision was in the election contest
caso.of Ren ner vs. Bennett, in
Montgomery county. Rcnner's
; Counsel took exceptions to the
j decision and intend to - carry the
' case to the Supreme Court and
ascertain what they will have to
: say on the subject. The Democ-
rac7 manifest as much fear from
the ballots of the veterans as the
rebels did from their ballets. Jnss
lice will yet be done to the noble
men who have sacrificed their
limbs for their country during the
rebellion, and we hope the day
will not be far distant If any
class of citizens . in , this country
are entitled to the ballot since the
reconstruction of the Government
it la the noble men who breasted
the storm and aaved the nation
from anarchy and misruli, and
declared freedom to the down
trodden and the enthralled. The
ballot will always be safe ia such
hands. Piqua Journal.

travelling in the cars, dreading , to

man approached him, sat down and
said:

never heard of him.'
ibis ignorance kept the man
quiet for fifteen minutes, ' then he
said:
What do you think about Gen

run him?'
Grant, Grant! hang it man,
said Artamus, you appear to know
more strangers than any man I
ever aaw.'
The man was furious; he walked
up the car, but at last come back
and aaid:

I feel certain It was not.
And, if not the work of good
men, it must ba the invention of
bad men. .
I believe it was.
Now answer me candidly, does
the Bible condemn sin, and threat
en Dad men with punishment?
Yes. -
Does it condemn lying and de
ception r
Yes. . .,. . . :
Does it declare that liars shsll

make a lie shall be shut out of

It does.
And" would ' bad men false
prophets, decievers and liara
make a book that condemns their
own sins.and threatens themselves
with everlasting punishment.
- They would not be likely to,cer-tainly-
-
Then the Bible could aot hsve
been written by bad men, could
it?
I must aay, it ia not easy to see
it could.
If then, yoa admit, It could not
be the invention of bad men be
cause they would net be guilty of
an imposture, who else oould be
its author but God? And if it Is
God's Book, why not believe it

These are the two poles of . eiror th
Scylla and Charybdis of the American
statesmen. As Senator Morton however
shows the Slate sovereignty dclusl n

Thero is every reason to believe U
that we havo more to apprehend in (lie
uture from the revival of thii "devil in
onr system" as Senator Morton c "n
the States right theory. It is true, tho
modifying influences of the war periol
we have just gone through have been
the other way . With - national dissolu
tion ataring us in the faee, we had to
grapple with State sovreignty and re
duce it to subjection 'and even now'
wheif its mourners are crying out
against such measures as the Ku Kin
law, they get no hearing from the mass
es. Bat these influences of the times
will pass away or grow weaker, and in
the mean time some forty or fifty States
with diverse interests, add separated
thousands of miles aprrt. will be ii-
fluenuing their citizens with all the . su
periority of local over distant attach
ments Perhaps by that time the Fe l
eral Government will be weakly or
wrongly directed, bo that the ca'ional
principle will have fallen into' discredit.'
At all events, it is not difficult to imag
ine aoy number or probabilities in tha
future, which will require that this true
principleof tre sovereignty of the Union
as defined in the onsituation, and now
so ably explained by . Senator Mono
