A SENSIBLE MAN-Hon. James G.
Campbell, U. s. Marshal for the Western
District Of Pennsylvania, has included the
Democratic Editors in his list of Census
Marshals, in almost every County in his
District. This shows him to be man of
sound sense and discrimination-evinoiug
desire to reward the deserving and as

Eastern District, does not seem to possess
the same spirit, as we have not, so far,
seen the name of a single editor among his
appointments -Esston Sentinel

his advocacy of Americanism, and rcsolute
against foreign domination.
Fortunately for the cause of American.
ism, the sophistry Of the Aeus is too ap.
parent to mislcad any one. For myself,
the effect of this miserable hypocrisy has
only been to make me more resolute in my
discrimination not to be transferred in any
way, into the ranks of Republicanism and
have this morning resolved to lend them
not even negative support, but to 60
against the whole "Pcople's Ticket in
October, even at the risk of striking down
some good men, who, under other circum.
stances, l should wish to see succeed. In.

RrhabiIitatin Himself.

To NJ. DE LAMARTINE, author, orator and
retired statesman, belongs a novel and felici-
tous application of the phrase "rehabilitate."
In a late letter TO the editor of a Haytien pa
per, he declares that he has devoted fifteen
years CT his life to the young race F" of that
country, which has "a soul / can scarcely find
in Europe" and with charming Raicste adds ::
Would that it now might aid me in its turn
in my efforts to rehabilitate myself by means
of my writings" Whereupon the Haytien
editor exclaims with enthusiasm Let the

scendants occupy brilliant page in tue last

one dollars, N. LAMARTINE's prospect of re-
Installing or rehabiltatng himself by the con-
tributions of Hayti is as dark as the COM

Lonl. Napoleon aud the United states.


All American visitors TO Paris seem to
bring away with them very high personal
admiration of the Emperor. Republicans, as
they are, they cannot fail to perceive that all
classes, with very few and uncomfortable ex-
ceptions, of the French people, are not only
contented, but cheerful and happy under the
present government, and proud of the COM
handing position in the affairs OF Europe to
which France has been elevated by her wise
and sagaciou. ruler Indeed, the Emperor of
the French is the only foreign potentate whom
intelligent American travellers in Europe have
much curiosity to see. The others are mere
s'fuss and feathers ~ but here is real man
one who is King in fact as well as in name :;
one who has been himself one OF the people,
and has learped his lessons of human nature
and Of self government in the hard school of
adversely and misfortune Moreover, our
countrymep, who are not as great devoiees OF
military glory as the French, hut take utili-
tartan view of things and men, Kings in
cluded. are especially delighted with the prac-
teal methodical, and business-iike character
OF LOUIS NAPOLEON who, whilst ministering
with infinite tact 10 the French passion for
martial fame, makes all subjects subservlent
to the development of those manufacturing
and commercial interests which are more es-
sential to national progress than military tri-
umphs.
We trust that the commercial relations of
America with the French people may be here
after much increased. They are our ancient
allies they were our best friends in the most
critical period of our Revolutionary struggle,
and, under such auspices as those which at
present prevail in France, the links of mutual
es TEEN aud friendship ought to be multiplied
and consolidated. Ii may be said with truth
of France that at no time has she permitted
herself to become a prOpagandist of princi-
pies upon this continent more fatal 10 our
peace and order than the unsheathed sword OF
omen war.

Death of an ola Citizen.

The venerable MOSES MYERS died at his
residence in this city, on the night of Saturday
last. lie had reached the advanced age OF
ninety, and was, If not our oldest citizen, pro-
baby, the oldest man among our citizens lie
retained his health and activity in a femafNa-
bic degree until within a short period Oh ms
death, and his mental faculties, we under
stand, were unimpaircd to the last.
Mr. MYERS was native of New York, and
came 10 this city, where he resided ever after
wards, about sixty-iive years ago. He was a
man of fine intelligence, polished address, and
considerable requirements. In the palmy
days of his life, before his age had fallen into
the scar and syetlow leaf, il was very unccm-
mon TO meet with more agreeable or better
informed gentleman. His house was the
abode of an elegant hospitality for many
years, and there were few persons pet'ef
qualified 10 preside as master of such an es-
1ahlshmert He was one Of the most oeheNo-
lent and charitable men of the city, ana ne
passed through life without, SO far as we
knovv and believe, ever having lost friend, or
made an enemy.

TERRIBLE DIsAsTER.-The telegraph brings
an account of the sinking of n lake steamer,
involving a fearful loss life. The Lady Elgin
was a large. staunch, and elegantly furnished
steamer, plying between Chicago and Lake
Superior, and occasionally making Excursion"
trips to all the principal landing places on
the South shore, as far as Superior City. Capt.
Wilson, her commander, was ranked among
the first Lake captains, both for efficiency and
affabiiity; this circums lance has served to at
tract to the Lady Elgin the best class of plea
sure travel, which this season on the Lakes
has embraced many influential and opuient
citizens from all parts of the country. There
il, therefore, all the more reason to apprehend
that the disaster now chronicled, when its ex
tent is fully known, will prove TO be calami-
ty OF no ordinary character.

on account of its rarity, bid fair at one time
TO be more valuable than gold, will restore the
