sy- 1t seems the Republican State Com
.mittee Of New Hampshire give receipts for
money received from individuals for campaign
purposes. The Argus thereupon exclaims, as
though its party never used money for cleo
pioneering purposes, "this shows one of the
methods by which the State has been carried"
Under the 20. r. f. every official was taxed,
not for legitimate campaign purposes, but even
to raise money to bolster up reckless presses
like the Washington Union, while money was
no better than stolen from the public Treas
ury to subsidize others. Giving receipts may
be new thing to the copperhead politicians,
for thieves are not accustomed to sign their
names or to leave their tracks uncovered.

The Leap Year Calico Bail.

Mr.. Editor:--I see by your paper that the
Ladies have advertised Calico Dress Ball
for the Benefit of the Sick and Wounded SOL
diers. This is a commendable enterprise and
l hope that the Ladies Of the Forest City,
will see that the enterprise is successfully car
ried out, and let the ''lords of creation" know
that the ladies do not acknowledge superiori-
ty to the gentlemen in matters of this kind
Let this be emphaticallya Leap Year Ball."
Ladies don't accept an invitation from any
gentlemen, but if yom. go invite the gentlemen,
and teach them a lesson in gallantry, which
some of them so much need. The benevo-
lent Objects praiseworthy, and | hope that
the ladies of Portland will feel that on this
occasion, they have reputation to main
tain which should not be thought lightly of
by those who have watched with pride the
rapid strides of our city-from a CIVILIZED city"
to that Of a metropolis, aud all this metathe-
sis brought about in the space ola few years.

sherman and Colfax.

At the Wing Convention held in Phila-
delphia in 1848 two young gentlemen ap-
peared as delegates from Democratic dis
tricts in adjoining States and In 1852 they
again appeared as delegates to Wing Ma
.ional Convention.
A delegate rose and said that a young
friend of his was present from district SO
strongly democratic that he could never
expect or hope to get an Office of any kind
at home, and he would, therefore, nominate
las secretary of the Convention, John sher-
mansof OHIO. Another delegate said that
he also had young friend present as del
egate from anothe, strong democratic dis
trict, where he could never hope for home
Office, and he therefore nominated Schuyler
Colfax, of Indiana, as assistant secretary.
Two years passed away, the incipient steps
of the conspiracy against the Union were
taken by the slave-lords, and in these two
old democratic districts of Ohio and Indi-
ana j ohm Sherman and Schuyler Coltax were
elected to Congress, and on the first Mon
day of December, 1855, they took their
seats in the House of Representatives.
-Four years ago Mr.. Sherman was put in
nomination for the Speakership of the House
| by the Republicans, but withdrew, and Mr.
| Pennington was elected. In March, 1851,
he was elected to the United States Senate
in place of Mr. Chase, who resigned to
take the place of Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr.. Colfax continued in the House and is
now its Speaker. These two fortunate and
successful gentlemen were born in the same
year, one in March, the other in May. They
have both achieved an enviable reputation
and an honored name; one starting in life
as an engineer on the Ohio canal, and the
other as printer s. Journal.

A Test of Character.

The uee of money has become, In mod
ern society, the test of character. AS
menuse money, they use everything
everybody. If they are honest and
equitable in that, they will be honest
and evuitable in other things. If not, not.
In the intense and universal pursuit of So
ciety, it follows that men will manifest in
what manner of spirit they are of. The
eagerness with which they pursue the ''main
chance absorbs all other feelings and de-
sires. Even the internal laws and ordin-
ances of God, which have been established
as bulwark against the mad assaults of
human passions. are no-barrier to the mas
ter passion. 1t may be that the test comes
in matter of mills or millions /; but when
ever it comes, or how large or small the
transaction is, how few, comparatively, out
of the immense multitude engaged in bust
ness, can lay their hands on their hearts
and say, 81 have not oyerreached or tssHn
advantage, or put cent into my pocket
that was not honestly my own" How few
have so scrupulous a sense of honor and
honesty that they would no more overreach
the Government than their own own broth
er ! For besides the amazing ambition OF
getting rich, another reeling comes into
play. To gain the better OF man IN bar
gain is accounted smartness. The flip OF
a greater intellectual keenness is added to
the love of money. There is something
peculiarly fascinating in being quicker, ear
lier, brighter and faster than your neighbor
1t is not so much for the ''ilthy lucre -
o, no but you are resolved not to be bea-
ten in trial of wits. Thus it is that false,
intellectual pride often joins with the dorni-
nant passion of riches to trample the golden
rules of honor and fair dealing under foot
But in spite of all solicitations, how
beautiful beyond comparison is uns worrying
righteousness.-New York Christian En-
Quirer.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1864-03-05

for a long period allowed his works TO be
published without thought of pecuniary
compensation; but the demand for them
became so great, and before long so many
1attering offers were made to him, that he
found himself impelled to abandon all other
pursuits, and devote himself entirely to
musical composition as a profession. He
entered into an arrangement with Firth,
Pond d Co., the we'll known New York
publishers, which continued many years,
and was the source of immense income to
Mr.. Foster, aud also of large profits to the
publishers. The commissions paid Mr.. F.
by them on the "Old Folks at Home alone
amounted to over $4,000. Many others
of his songs were nearly as profitable, but
the "Old Folks at Home reached larger
issue than any song ever published in Amer
lea. For the privilege of having his name
printed on the edition of this song, the late
E. P. Christy, paid Mr.. Foster five hun
dred dollars
