REPUBLICAN AND ANTI REPUBLICAN.-The
San Leandro Gazette makes the following re
marks:
The names Of parties at the North, in
the elections recently held, have been Re.
publican and Anti Republican. This is the
true issue. Patriots everywhere should
bend and are bending their energies to the
defeat a ID utter and final prostration of
that party-the RepubIican-to whose mis-
chievous political and moral tenets the la
menable disruption IF our once glorious
oonfederacy Of States is directly traceabe
Let it be so with us. In this State the great
heart Of the Union lovers-gennine and
true-pulsate with not drop Of Republican
blood. Repubicanism is known to be an
t"gonstic to the perpetuity Of our institu-
tons. Let us do more than scotch, let US
kill the snake. In the approaching cleo
tions suppressing, if we may not entirely
cease to remember, whatever divisions and
dissensions have arisen heretofore, let the
people, under the banner of An,i.Republi.
ransm, as their patriotic brethren Of the
North have done and are doing, press to the
contest and, there can be no doubt about it.
the Republicans will cease to have a local
habi:ation or a name in California.

Anthony Wayne.

In sketch of Wayne, contributed to the
Girard Republican, by Ii mueI S. Olmstead,
formerly of this city, we find the following
singular statement. When we first read it,,
we were greatly inclined to doubt its rela.
bility. But on making inquiry, we learned
that the information was gathered from the
most reliable source, and that it is a positive
verify. Our readers will be as much aston.
ismed rs ourselves, on learning of this queer
plan of doing honor" to a deceased patriot
and hero. Mr.. Omstead says:
at may not be generally known, however,
that the remains of Anthony Wayne were
first inferred near the block house which
stood on the high bluff which command the
entrance to the harbor Of Erie, and they lay
there until 1909, when his son went on
from Chester county, Pennsy sylvania, to Erie,
in suIky, two wheeled carriage, and re-
moved them to their present resting place.
On arriving at Erie he employed "Old Dr.
Wallace" SO called to distinguish him from
the present DR.. Wallace, TO take up his
fathers remains, pack the bones in as small
a space as possible and lash them on to the
hind part of the sulky. DIR. Wallace took
up the remains and found them in perfect
state OF preservation, except one foot. He
had been buried in full uniform, and the
boot on the decaved foot was also decayed
while the other boot remained sound, and a
man by the name of Duncan had mate
made to it and wore them out. Duncan's
foot, like the Generals, was very large
DR.. Wallace cut and boiled the flesh off the
bones, packed them in a box, lashed them to
the carriage, and they we're brought and de-.
posted beside the rest Of his family in the
above named church yard.

THE PARSON.
BY GEORGE II. CLARK.

By 0EOkGE H. CI.Ahh.
When was young and fond of noise,
And wore my first gray homestead jacket,
And fought stout battles with the boys,
And filled ny fathers house with racket;
Our well-beloved pastor died,
And left behind him scores Of wecpers-
Stout pillars of the church, long tried
AS we'll as lesser props-and sleepers.
He was a patriarch, wise and gray,
One of the old-time Christian scholars;
Who cheered aff1icton's weary way,
And gave the oppressed advice-and dollar
The matrons' love for him, at last,
Sublmed almost to veneratiOn,
For he'd baptised one-half the past,
And all the present generation.
Outside the church the good man held
A comprehensive supervision,
And village qudnuncs were compelled
To bow before his calm decision.
Though party strife might rage and swell,
Or skeptics raise some knotty question,
No doubt too grave for his digestion.
do remember well the scene.
When, all the congregation seated,
He closed the book with fervent mien,
And twice the pregnant text repeated;
And then, as influenced from above,
His heart with holy themes expanding,
Appealed to Faith and Christian love,
AS we'll as human understanding.
His looks. his tones. his earnest ways
From one of memory's pleasing pictures,
AS he, in strong but holnely phrase,
Impaired hope or uttered structures.
The velvet cap he always wore,
Whene'er he thumpcd the pulpit cushion,
Loomed like beacon from the shore,
To warn us sinners from perditiOn.
The best of men cross must bear
So Providence or Fate contrive it;
OF private griefs he had his share,
And some that were not quite so private.
He might conceal the smodering fire
Or metal or domestic TRIAL,
But troubles with the wrangling choir
Were patent as their own bass-viol.
OF course, there was among his charge
One busy, mrddling, ancient maiden,
Who like ire-ship ronmed at large,
With furtive stores of scandal laden.
She scattered brands of discord free.
She slandcred and annoyed the parson,
Till all agreed she ought to be
Indicted for constructive arson.
On Wednesday nights he always made
To us a quiet pastoral visit
So, when the bell his touch betrayed,
NY mother never asked, "Who is it,"
But wheeling out the easy chair,
With its inviting arms of leather,
She laid his pipe with thoughtful care,
And steel tobacco-box together.
Those genial times were mellow ripe,
When folks were not inclined to bicker,
If ministers enjoyed pipe
And slipped social glass of liquor;
So while his cheerful features glOwed,
And smoke wrcaths circled to the ceiling,
His talk in streams Of wisdom flowed,
Like waters from font of healing
We loved the man, revered him, too
As who did not that ever knew him?
His piety and kindness drew,
&c al ~ 10
His praise by men need not be Tipped,
To make our sorrowing hearts beat faster,
For memory holds secret crypt
Wherein is shrined our sainted pastor.

An American Exchanges his wife for a
Chateau.

The following good story which we trans
late from "L'Avant Conveur," French pa
per published in Louisiana, has not to our
knowledge before appeared in any American
paper:-.Lately rich Frenchman Of Paris
ran off with the fascinating wife of an
American gentleman, to Switzerland. The
unfortunate husband instead of following up
the absconding parties, installed himself i'm
mediateIy in magnificent chateau, owned
by his rival, and wrote him the 70 lowing let
ter as an explanation Of the extraordinary
step he had taken:--"You have appropriated
my wife, and | have taken possession Of your

journey in the land of William Tell, al,

A correspondent of the Evening Post is
responsible for the following:
1t is sin4uIar coincidence, and would
seem at the present time to possess quite m
oracular meaning, that the syllable "lin"
occurs in the name of both President and
Vice President, which signifies "to yield
(see Webster) Lincoln - Ilamlm - the
name of the President beginning with ''lin,
and that of the Vice President ending with
"ln" and it is also singular that the Chris
tian name of the President ends with the
syllable "ham,' and the name Of the Vice
President commences with cham"
The learned Theban tells US that lin means
ito yield" Well ham, in the Hebrew,
means "black," and Ham is supposed to be
the father of the negro race--so I'm and
ham together would seem to mean-"to yield
har est of niggers."

for the Captain since the Gath of September
last, but he managed to evade them until
this morning. From the course adopted by
the prisoner during his stay in Charleston, in

Resolrsd, ''That the present deplorable civil war
has been forced upon the country by the disu-
niunists Of the Southern States, now in revolt
AGAINST the Constitutional Government, and in
arms around the Capital.
Resolved, That in this national emergency we
banish al feeling Of mere passion or resentment
and viii recolleot only our duty to the whole
country; that this war was not waged upon our
part in any spirit Of oppression nor tor any pur-
pose Of conquest or supjugationi nor for tie pur-
pose Of overthrowing or interfering with the
rlEhts or established institutions Of the States
but to deferd and maintain the supremacy Of the
Constitution, and to preserve the Union, with al
the dignity, equality and rights of the several
States unimpaIred; and as soon as these objects
are accomplished, the war ought to cease"
ResOlDed, In the language Of the Hon. Joseph
Holt, we are ''for the Union without conditions

The result of the recent battles in Western

Colered RmirrntiOn to Hnrti.

The Haytian emigration movement is a
success. The Helen Augusta sailed to-day
with a colony of emigrants to Hayti, one
hundred and thirteen in number. Still an
other colony will sail next week, which al
ready comprises some ninety members. A
vessel is announced to sail on the 18th inst.
and Mr.. Redpath has nearly three hundred
passengers engaged for her. The greater
part Of the colony by the Helen Augusta
were from Canada and Michigan and Penn
sylvania-snd all of them were farmers emi.
grating to grow cotton by free labor in the
only country in the New World exclusively
inhabited by free men of African ancestry.
It is significant fact that these emigrants
are not the pariaas of large cities-men
driven TO Hayti by hunger-but farmers who
have done well in Canada and this country.
but have left Us because of their uncongeniai
social state. The Canadian negroes all tes-
tify that the prejudice of color is even more
intoIerable in the Provinces than in the Uni
ted States. One of the most substantial of
the emigrants being asked why be left Amer
ics, said he wished to "help put an end to
this southern cotton" They all seem to be-
lieve that the fate of slavery hangs on the
cotton plant, and intend to have hand in
settling it. There is no finer country in the
world for growing cotton than Hayti, and we
wish the emigrants all possible success in
their industrial philanthropic enterprise
They will doubtless do better for themselves
and their race, and do more to abolish slave
ry in America, by cultivasing the southern
staples in Hayti, than by clinging to their
low destiny in this nRtion.--R. z. Evening
