The Speech of Cam. Sciiuiiz, at
Nashville, has created quite a commo
tion in tho radical party, and tho sen
ator is now being denounced along tho
whole line as a recreant to his political
principles. An Jionest politician can
a . louj. remain in the radical party.
" I Always Liste.v to Gov. Ogles
1 by with pleasure, " said Qov. Palmer
in his speech to tho republican state
convention the other day, "for when ho
' gets to sweating there is no person in
' the state equal to him. " Sweat is
Oglesby's strong point. He cau talk,
and sweat, and paugh, smell to ! with
great ability. He reeks to heaven
when he orates.
The
time has come, " savs the
Chicago Tribune, " when the republi-
' can party must exhibit faith in the
' wi-dom and justice of their own
' acts. " Ab well ask the plunderer, or
murUercr, ur miscellaneous rascal to be
lieve in the justice of his acts. Even
the hypocritical pretence on the part
of republicans of belief in the goodness
of their inexcusable sinfulness has
become tiresome to tho deceut element
of the party, who are commencinK to
slowly withdrawn the covering from tho
mysterious meal tub of radical iniquity.

TilK ostoiisiblo object of Woodhull
aud OMln'n Weekly is tho establish
ment of the rijjht of Buffrage for women,

against this soft Of thing.' This is a freo
country, for women as ,wcll as, men, and
if Mrs. Woodhull chooses to get mar
ricd and divorced, and to got married
and divorced ngain,cach time to a differ
ent spocinicn oi tho genus homo, and
then to live under tho pamo roof with
both, nobody can say her nay, even if
she wcro to ropcat the operation half a
dozen times instead of twico. But wc
do insist that it is an insult to tho moral
senso ot society and tho rchncmont
of tho age for Mrs. Woodhull and her
co-workers to counsel and expect oth
er women to dolikowisc, Tho reformers
who run tho iVcelcly would reform tho
world backwards, not by such slow
growths as it labored-, through to reach
tbc present era of light and knowledge,
but,bent on swift dcstruction,they would
tear down tho most Bacrcd and tho most
powerful of all tho landmarks of civili
zation, the institution of marriage, sure
that in its fall tho blackness of darkness
would envelop the moral world.
Ouit Munn, who was president of tho
lato radical stato .convention, is an ora
tor of a peculiar kind. Lacking a
well-filled store houso of ideas, ho ekes
out tho deficiency by a plentiful abund-
anco of words, and with "woven paces, "
flying arms and piercing voico as
saults, the attention of his audiences,
and at tho conclusion of his harangues
leaves them impressed with the belief
that they havo been listening J.o sound
and witnessing fury that signifies noth
ing. On taking tho chair in the radical
convention Ihe'olEer day, Major Munn
made one of his characteristic speeches
and won considerable applause. In
therCQurse of his harranguo he declared
that the"go-rato republican party
' could ncver-r-r die or bo crushed out.
' The effort to crush it would bo like an
1 effort to crush tho Bocky mountains
1 an attempt to crush tho mountains
r would blister tho hand that made tho
' attempt. So the republican party pro
' poso to blister the democratio
' party this fall, and tan them next
fall." Tho attempt to crush tho
Rocky mountains would, Major Munn
says, blister tho hand that made tho at
tempt; and the logical conclusion must
he,.that,.tiiiico tho radical party is as
difficult to crush, as tho Bocky. moun
tains, the hand that attempted to crush
that party 'would bo also blistered.
This is not, however, the major's con
clusion. The republican party, ho
assert), propose to blister the democrat
ic party this fall and Ian them next
lecauso an effort to crush tho republi
can party would bo like an attempt to
rush the.Kooky mountains, which at
tempt would blister tho hand that made
All this is as clear as mud. A
school boy who would bungle in speech
ike Major Munn should have another
part of his persou than his hand blis
tered.
The Pkoiua DkmoOiiat says that
tho nomination of Gen. Boveridgo by
the republican stato convention for
congress from the state at large was
signal victory of Springfield over Pco
ria ou tho capitol removal question
"Now," adds the Democrat, " if tho
' way sensibly aud nominate somo such
1 man as Tom Turner, Tom Hoync, or
' General Cameron, who were
'fast friends of Peoria, they will
' carry tho military track (by ati over
whelming majority." The"j5emocri
has taught itself to believe that all
Ucstions, moral, social, religious and
political, have been merged in tho
question of tho removal of tho state
capitol from Springfield to Peoria.
Any man who has lived at Springfield,
or ucen so rccticss ot the truth as to
praise that city, is in tho eyes of the
Democrat unworthy )f countenanco

Turner and Hoyno nnd Cameron were
on Peoria'H Hide in the capitol removal
fight, tho Democrat ouggests them as
the men from whom a congressional

domocrats. If Springfield is as unreas

iistieu iijr uoucris urus., uoRion.
Ton pooms aro contained in this volume.
Tlioir nhtnes aro "Arlzonlan," "With Wal
ker In Nlcarngun," "Oallfornlan," "Tho
Last Taschastas," "Ina," 'Tho Talo of tho
Tall Alcalde," "Kit Canon's Ride,"
"Hums and Byron," "Myrrh," and "Even
So."
In somo respects Mr. Millor Is tho most
original poet tho United Statos has pro
duced. For tha intorost which ho oxcites
ho does not depend upon tho introduction
of vulgar bits of realism that havo mado
tho roputatlon of ono or two vorslflors who
aroontlrolydostltulo of his depth nnd
strength of naturo. In "Kit Carson's
Ride," he appears In an exceptional llcht.
That poem Is not typical of his power.
Itii a moro caprlco. a flash In tho pan. tho
fitful representation of ono mood of his
mind, and that notaYoryporraanontmood.
Tho poem ontltlod "With Walker In Nic
arauga" is much moro a roprosontatlvo
production, illustrating, as it docs, tho no
bleness, tho swoctnesj, tho passionato lovo
of women and of nature which aro charac
teristic of Mr. Millor, blont with that in
genuous adoration that an ardent boy fools
lor tho man whom hoorocts into a hero.
For thoso reasons wo Incllno to consider
tho ptoin wo havo thus especially men
tioned, as tho purest and strongest In tho
book. It Is disordered with no dark and
illegitimate passion, as moro than ono of
the other poems aro. Tho broath that
blows, now vigorously, now tendorly
through it, is always sweet, frogrant and
healthy. The descriptions of naturo are
maoo with a loving, lingering, warm and
conscientious nana, ximt this is so, will,
wo think, bo dlscomed in tho appended
quotation :
How wound wo through tho solid wood,
With all its broad boughs hung in green,
wuu mencn-mosses trail a boiwcen
How waked tho spotted beasts of prey,
Deep sleeping from tho faco of dav,
And dash'd them llko a troubled llood
Down somo defllo and denser wood I
And snakes, long, litho nnd bountiful
As green and graceful-bough'd bamboo,
Did twist And twine thorn through nnd
through
Tho boughs that hung red-fruited full.
One, monstcr-sized, nbovo me hung,
Closo oved mo with Its britrht nlnlV eves.
Tlion raised his folds, and swny'd nnd
swung,
Then oped his wi3o mouth with surprise
Ho writhed and curved, nnd raised nnd
lower'd
His folds llko liftings of tho tide,
And sank so low I touched his sido.
As I rodo by, with my broad sword.
Tho trees shook hands high ovorhcad,
And bow'd and intertwined across
Tho narrow way, whilo leaves and moss
And luscious fruit, gold-huod and red,
Through nil tho canopy of green,
Let not ono sunshaft shoot between.
Birds hung and swung, green robed nnd
red,
Or droop'd in curved lines dreamily,
Rtinbows roverscd, from treo to treoj
Or sang low-banging overhead
Sang low, as if they sang and slopt,
Sang faint, llko somo far waterfall,
And took no noto of us at all.
Though nuts that In tho way woro spread,
Hid crush and crucklo as wo slept.
Wild lilies, tall as maidens are,
As sweet of breath, us pearly fair,
As fair us faith, ns puro us truth,
Full thick boioro our every tread,
As in asacrillco to ruth,
And nil tho air with perfumo flll'd
Moro sweet than over man distilled.
Tho ripened fruit a fragranco shed
And hung in hand-reach overhead.
In nest of blossoms on tho shoot,

At which 1 Bllont shook my hoad,

Then turned and louohod my yollow hair,
And took tho long locks In his hand,

Then thrummml about his saddlo bow
As thought ran swift across his fnco ;
Then turning suddbn from his placo,

Mr. Miller nlso possesses tho power of
making a plcturo stand out with wondor
ful distinctness. As ovidence, road tho
subjolnod description of ono of his Nlca
raugan episodes :
Far in tho wildest qulnlno wood
Wo found a city old so old
Its vory walls woro turn'd to mould,
And statoly trcos upon them stood.
No history has niontlon'd it,
No map has givon it a placo ;
Tho last dim traco of trlbo and race
The world's forgctfulncss is tit.
It held one structuro grand and moss'd,
Mighty ns nny castlo sung,
And old whon oldest Ind was young,
With threshold Christian nover cross'd;
A temple bulldcd to tho sun,
Along whoso sombro altar-stono
Brown bleeding virgins had been itrown
Llko loaves, whon leaves aro crisp and dun,
In ages cro tho Sphinx was born,
Or Babylon had birth or morn.
My chief led up tho marblo stop
Ho over led, broad blado in hand
When down tho stones, with doublo hand
Clutch'd to his blade, a savage leapt,
Hot bont to bartor lifo for llfo.
Tho chieftain drovo his bowlo knifo
Full through his thick and broad breast
bone, And broko tho point against the stono,
Tho dark stono of tho tomplo wall.
I saw him looso his hold and fall
Full length with head hung down tho step ;
i law run uown a ruuuy uoou
Of rushing pulsing human blood.
Then from tho crowd a womon cropt
A -.I i.r...' i .i i .1 - i '
4iuu iwsB u iuu t;ury jiuiius unu lavu,
And smoto herself. Then ono bv ono
Tho dark crowd cropt and did tho same,
men noro mo uoau man irom the place.
.uown aarucn d aisles mo brown priests
came,
So picture-like, with sandall'd feet
And long gray dismal grass-wovo gowns,
So Hko tho pictures ot old time,
And stood all still and dark of frowns,
At blood upon tho stono and street,
a. w9 '?'? """V uanu w sword
And boldly spoko somo bitter word ;
Hut thoy wcro stubborn still, and stood
Dark frownlnc as a winter wood.
And mutt'rlng something of tho crime
Of blood upon tho tomplo stono,
As if tho ilrst that it had known.
Wo turned toward tho massive door
With clash of stool at heel, and with
Somo swords all red and ready drawn.
I traced the sharn cdiro of in v sword
Along tho marblo wall and floor
t or crack or crovico j moro was none.
From ono vast mount of marblo stono
Tho mighty tomplo had boon corod
i liy nut-brown children ot tho sun,
When stars wero newly bright and blithe
Of song along tho rim of dawn,
w iniguiy maruio inonoiuui
Something of tho characteristics wo have
specified aro also visiblo in tbo concluding
passages of this poem. Thoso passages
nro rather long, but sinco they present
somo of Mr. Miller's host qualities in a very
attractive light, wo glvo full ploy to tho
qnotation :
Years after, sheltor'd front the sun
Beneath a Sacramento bay,
A black Muchacho by mo lay
Along tho long grass crisp and dun,
ills brown mulo browsing by ms siue,
And told with all a. peon's prido
How ho once fought, how long and well,
Broad breast to breast, red hand to hand,
Against a foe for his fair land,
And now tno norco invaaer ion ;
And artless told mo how ho died.
To die with hand and brow unbound
Ho gavo his gems and jsword sword j
Thus at last tho warrior found
Somo freedom for his stcol's rownrd.
Ho walk'd out from tho prison-wall
IJrcss'd liko a princo for ti parade,
And mado no noto of man or maid,
But gazed out calmly overall;
Then looi; u uiar, nan pausou, aim men
A Ijo v o tno inomou ecu ui IIIUIl
Ho kissed his thin hand to the sun ;
Then smiled so proudly nono ha'l known

Of purplo smoko, a crush, u thud,

So much tho loaded dico of war

To sing and say him nothing wrong ;
