The Washington Union, speaking of its militia
ry candidate for the Presidency, says, !" 1t is
probably the strongest proof of the ability and
deseryings of Gen. Pierce that he left the service
of his country almost without an enemy" The
sentence is manifestly incomplete. 1t should
have been added, "and passed through the cam
paign in Mexico under Gen. Scott almost without
meeting one."
The military title which Gen. Pierce bears had
a great deal to do, no doubt, with his nomination
for the Presidency. As for his civil qualifica-
tons he was himself probably an accurate Judge
Of them when he resigned his place in the Sem
ate-as he subsequently resigned from the army
on the. acknowledged ground that there were
others better fitted than he was for the post he
held. If this was dictated by modesty which
often characterizes the highest merit-very well !;
we will not detract from that assumption so rs to
call in question any mans opinion who may
choose to think so. But we have the right in
common with the public generally to look into
the official course of Gen. Pierce, both civil and
military, and to form an estimate of the value of
his services to the country-now that the highest
honors are claimed for him.
For our own part we are free to say that such
an inspection does not result in any conviction
that General Pierce has done anything to entitle
him even TO the position which he now holds as
q candidate for the Presidency-nothing to war
rant his aspiration to that important post, even
in the vagaries Of random dream still less for
the occupancy of seat once held by Washing.
ton If his friends think otherwise, it is well to
know that the opinion of the whole country must
pass upon his pretensions. With the decision of
that tribunal we shall rest satsfed-not indeed
believing that any majority of votes can make q
great man out of General Pierce, or disparage
the well-tried character of his illustrous Compel
itor.-Bah Amer.

for the Penitentiary were committed by the Cap
tain of the Auxiliary Guard, charged with steal
ing. One is about ten, the other about twelve
years old, and both negroes BY going to arrest
those little scamps, the officers came near being
seriously injured. They were sleeping under a
carpenters shop in the First Ward, and the
owner of the shop, fearful of incendiaries, was
staying inside to watch it. When the officers
came, installing their purpose, he rushed out
upon them, and was himself severely handled be
fore the mistake was found out. The rumor that
one of the officers had been cut down while at
tempting to break in is not true.

Rivers and Harbors--The Veto Power I
From the National Integencer


The Richmond Wing calls the public attention
to the precious confession by the Richmond En-
quirer that "here as no safety an nominal Demo-
cratic majorfties IN Congress-" These majorities,
it is further confessed, require the constant
dread, if not the frequent application, of the Ueto
poacer to keep them in their own ranks! In the
case of the 'harbor and river bill of the late
sion" it seems the Democrats of the State Rights
School found themselves deserted by "those
their former bounty fed" whom, in its wrath,
the Enquirer denounces as "a finching or spec
ulating minority" seduced from the Democratic
fold by selfish or sectional feelings But this
confession is too instructive as q whole for to
allow any part of it to be kept back from our
readers. Here is the entire extract therefore,
as we find it quoted in the Wing:
From the Richmond Enquirer.l
"Now is the time to give proper direction TO
the sentiments of our new voters They will
plant themselves firmly by our platform, if our
presses and our writing and talking friends will
speak out loudly in true Democratic appeals. The
history of the last session of Congress teaches us
Enthusiastically that there is no safety in nominal
Democratic majorities in Congress-. Unrestrained
By The Ueto, we have found that men calling them
selves Democrats, and elected by Democrats,
leave us upon nearly every measure addressed to
their selfish or sectional feelings, and upon all
measures involving heavy expenditures Of money.
The majority of our party in Congress have gen
orally proven true to our platform and princi-
pies; but we have as generally been defeated by
hinching or specializing minority of them CO.
operating with solid body of Wings. Look at
the votes upon the harbor bill, and upon the de-
tails Of almost every heavy appropriation bill,
and you find this to be true. THIS acould not hare
been the case If zoe had had a true Democrat in N.
Presidential chair if the exercise of the veto
power had even been apprehended /; for the people
have always sustained it, and will continue tc
sustain it when welded to check the extravaganza
and usurpatien of Federal legislation. Waverine
Democrats will be slow to make issue upon il
at the polls"

nine murders were committed in the mines.
Exchange
There is then some danger at the mines. One
may be shot down or cut down without why or
wherefore, and gold the dust grabbed before his
eyes, which it cost MIN months of labor to accu-
mulate. Such dangers make mining look like
dreary business. But what of the effects upon
the character Of one who dwells for time in the
midst of such dangers? They who dwell in
Turkey must do as the Turkeys do! Is not this
the philosophy of the world? Do many men wit
ness the constant preparation Of murders around
them, and apprehend being murdered themselves,
without looking to the condition Of their own re-
volvers and bowie-knives? And if they contem-
plate using their weapons at any hour in defence,
are they sure their mental resolves viii never
prepare them for offensive deeds of revenge or
retaliation. The burden of Jim Crows" song
was wish that he might sell himself to the devil.
The chance is favorable in these later days.
