ReminiScrncieS.

Looking over file of papers published
in the autum Of 1887, the eye was attract
ed by the following paragraph, which we
copy word for word, and letter for letter:
"MR. CALHOUN.
The Washington Correspondent of the
Boston Atlas, amid many other equally
wise speculations. says:
81 will however, be so desperate as to
hazard the guess that Rves with Reg.
ment larger or smaller, will ultimately
join the wings; while Richie, with the
greater portion of the Tory party at his
heels, goes over to Calhoun and the Loco
FocoS."
] his is indeed desperate venture. Mr.
Rives will neither join the Wings, nor
shall we join Mr.. Calhoun or the Loco
Focos. Eetthe Atlas and Relormer put
themselves at,ease about both these pro.
positions.
Mr.. Calhoun has not gained our conf.
dence by his recent moves on the chest.
board; however much he may have won
on the hearts Of some of our brethren.
He is too much of metaphysical for Us
and he Is too much OF the spirit of The
mistocles 10 his composition to secure ouI
aft iation."
After reading the paragraph, we begar
look about for the author of this repudia.
ton OF the honest nuIIher! VINO couIo
it be? Conceive our astonishment, wher
tNrning over the page, we saw in large
capitals "RICHMOND ENQUIRER
Ueriie sans pHer, by T. Richie" Oic
true penny himseE-and no mistake!
1t is the spirit of undyiag hate, which
this and similar paragraphs betray-ths
discloses the real object in urging the post
ponment of the selection Of Presidential
Candidates for another twelve. months

bu!lied-and trek must accomplish wha
valor cannot.-Independa

with the annual curtailments on extended

PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS.

III CADLAN 1IAh IAAoL LIZA ~ %
There is a palpable and growing un-
easiness in the ranks Of the Loco Fo-
CO party about their candidates for hte
Presidency and Vice Presidency.
Each Of the pretenders has his parti-
zans, who are becoming more and
more jealous Of each other. The one
apprehends that the other is attempting
to gain the advantage, and all are strug-
Cling maniully for the prize.
As mere lockers on, we note, that
the Globe has not paid Mr.. Calhoun
even passing compliment for three
months. The Enquirer, on the other
hand, has not whispered commenda-
ton of either Col. Benton or COLI ohm
son for six montlls-and it is even spar
ing of its compliments to Mr.. Calhoun,
although its present purpose is to per-
suade that gentleman and his friends,
that it is his devoted friend. 1t writes
editorials calling for one year more of
delay land publishes letters from Wash
Ington, weekly, urging the same thing.
1t Mr.. Calhoun can be amused with
promises for a twelve-month, his friends,
it is supposed, will become so firmly
committed to The party, that they will
not fly off. when Mr.. z. is set aside,
as he will be. 1t would be too much
to have Mr.. Clay and MIR. Calhoun
the opposing candidates. That would
be redundancy of gentility, which
The Locos could not stomach. In
Penhsy lvania, Mr.. Buchanan's flag is
flying, and his adherents say, it shall
continue to fly. In the great West;
Col. Johnson's advocates are active,
and being confident that their favorite is
the strongest man ofthe party, are de-
termined 10 adhere to him through good
and through evil report. The only
danger they have TO encounter is, that

AN IMPUDENT SPECULATION.

A pamphlet was issued last week from
the Office Of the New York Evening Post,
costing 25 cents, %purporting TO be a state
meni by j. b. Glentworih, Of election
frauds in 1898 and 1889. We presume
the publishers have satisfied themselves
they are technically safe from the statute
against obtaining money under false pre-
tences, but in conscience we declare our
selves to have been as much done TO the
extent Of the aforesaid . cen,s) in pur-
chasing the pamphlet, as if we had pur-
chased as a horse what on examination
should turn out to be a jackass.
There is no new testimony in this
pamphlet nothing but accusation unsup.
ported by proof, and resting upon the
word Of such an unblushing s%coundrel as
Glentworth. How much that word is
worth may be gathered from his own ad-
missions in this pamphlet.
|. That he did undertake and effect
operations in Philadelphia to bring men
on to this city to vote fraudulently at the
polls.
,. That after his arrest by the Re-
corder he did subscribe on three differ.
cnt occasions, -fidavits, setting forth to
be true what he now says was not true ;
and his excuse for so doing is, that he
either did not read said afidavits, or read
them carelessly, or was assured--inno-
cent as he is-that they contained moth
ing he might not safely swear to.
3. That having, or pretending to have,
certain papers, which others were desir.
Gus to get out Of his possession, he agreed
for a price to deliver them up but in
stead OF doing so, he sealed up and plac-
ed them in a secure depository-such is
his own story--and prepared" (query,
forged y others, and made some copies,
aud these he delivered as the real docu-
ments, and took his pay.
And this is the witness who is to con.
vict the Wing party, or some of their
prominent men, of election frauds
We turn him yer with scorn to those
who think him a worthy iustrument.--N.

Correspondence of the Gazette.

WAsHINoroN, January 8, i 1912.
As rounded of the figure indicative Of the day
Of tho month, | thought of the festivities going on
in New Orleans, in honor of the victory which de-
livsred that city from the grasp of the British sol
diery in 1915 but brought myself to believe that
no single point in New Orleans will, today, equal
in ii, varied incidents, the Wkite House, on New
Years Day. You have, no doubt, seen in the pa
pcrs, an account ofthe vast collection which throng-
I'd the Presidents mansion on the lst Of January,
and Of the individuals of note who we're present.
But very little credence ia to be given to the letter
writer's. on these subjects. They will give a gloss
TO things. which, if seen as they occur, would al
most shock-and, certainly, disgust you, II is
true that the arrangements were on a some what
unusual scale and the presence of Mr., Tyler and
his cabinet, together with the several foreign min
isters, in their splendid court dresses, gave a brill
liancy TO the scene, quite striking to me yet there
ws' much OF the opposite nature, to affect all this.
~lnas,ae the house itself 10 be jammed, and he
area in front, and even the avenue, outside, to be
filled up with a crowd Of men, women and children
ind yau have a conception of the mass. But,
when 1t is told that, for some time, ingress and
ogress had to be made through the same entrance,
you then only can conceive the confusion ard dis
order. Men swore-wonen screamed, and some
even iainted--children bawled-and ! laughed. II
was so odd, that | could not help laughing And
It was irresistible to hear a savage looking dandy,
who was sscor,ing a lady, tell . gentleman who
was forced against the couple by the crowd, a. Ve-
" well, air; you shall hear from me-you shall
hear from me-" A look at the speaker told M.
that he was not as vicious as a hyena, though he
looked ike a baboon; and my mind being diyes,ed
cf fear for the offenders life, I enjoyed the specta-
Gle very much. Why, if the lady and her escort
had been approximations of the Plague and ChoIe-
70. the crowd would have forced the offender against
them All were promiscuously jammed together
-ss compacily as Africans in the hold Of a Brazil
SLAYER. At one time. | felt myself, as Jonathan
Slick would say, I" considerable streaked,' to be

BY a notice 10 our paper to-day, the reader vii
perceive, that in a few days. the citizens Of Mar
tinsburg will have an opportunity Of hearing thu
experience Of one who has spent many years o
hi. life in the debased and degraded condition o
an habitual drunkard. We invoke q general atten-
dance of both sexes to this meeting. The tempe
rance cause is now spreading like wild FIRE through
the land, under tho active and praiseworthy efforts
Of the various societies raised for the purpose o
supprc,sing this crying evil. As proof of the ben
,fcent influence Of the temperance reformation
the price Of whiskey has become reduced in Gin
cinnsti, from 5 to 7 cents under It's former rates
and in Baltimore, it is now selling at but 10 cents
per gallon. The number of grog shops has been
considerably reduced, and the number of drum
kards still more so. But let all attend the meet
ing, when it shall take place, which WILDE in the
course of a few days, and we predict that they will
all go home impres, ed with the pleasing reflection
that they passed a well-spent evening.
