DAYS are perverted from their original object and
made subservient to the glori6cation OF the
negro and the advancement of the designs Of the
republican party. At commencemen's' ~ o0
colleges the parts of the graduates are nothing
more Or less than abolition essays from beginning
to end. a large proportion Of the pulpit, at
least in New England, are regular rossrums, from
-hich .holit;on harangues are made to promote
the reuublican cause. Even the militia system
is seized upon and impressed INTO the same
- Most of the speeches at the last dinner
"a the Governors Horse Guards, at Concord,
were nothing more than one abolition howl Re.
ligious conventions, temperance gatherings and
other public occasions are seized upon and per
verted into engines for the promotion OF the
cause of the republican party, and democrats who
attend them, are compelled to listen to twaddle
that they detest and know to be the most trans-
parent hypocrisy and humbug. How long Is y
this state Of things to continue ?-NdshHa ". a.

Reconstruction.

1t is very bad recommendation of Presiden,
Johnson's policy of reconstruction that il meets
with much appreciation from copperheads.-
Bridgeport Comm Standnrd,-a negro suffrage
paper.
There's logic for CORRESPONDING aboat the
average amount of brains that some exces.
sively loyal sheets bring to the discussion of
great national interests The democratic
press can but choose between the different
modes of reconstruction of president and his
friends-with but faint hope of influencing
either; but in this case the plan of the pres
ident is SO manifestly the best, that demo-
Gratis cannot but prefer it. The better plan
would have been to permit the voters of each
state returning to the Union, to manage their
own affairs in their own way; but, as the
presidents plan will ultimately bring about
matters to the same point, it is hardly worth
while to quarrel with il. The proposition OF
the radicals looking to indiscriminate confs-
cation, Punishment and negro voting, is SO
abhorrent that no man with proper views of
humanity, constitutional law, and sound pol
icy. can for moment give them his appro-
bation.-N. H. Register.

When Bustrode Whitelocke was embarked as
Cromwelps Envoy to Sweden, in 1868, he was
much disturbed in mind he rested in Harwich
on the preceding night, which was very stormy,
while he reflected on the distracted state of the
nation. 1t happened that confidential servant
slept In an adjacent bed, who, finding that his
master could not sleep, at length said:

The 81. Louis Republican. speaking of the
conspiracy trials, says:
A careful reading of all the testimony has
not convinced US that DR.. Mudd was 20 con-
neoted with this affair as to Justify his i'm
prisonment for life. The fact that he set
Booths broken leg is fully proved, in fact
not denied but it is contended that he did
not recognize Booth at the time. and that he
had not then heard Of the assassination
Several witnesses swear that Mudd spoke,
at Bryantown. on Sunday, of two suspicious
persons be had seen on the day before, while
it seems that the first information the gov
eminent authorities received as to Booths
route in flight and the fact of Booths broken
leg were conveyed by the doctor. There is,
it is true, some conflicting testimony as to
meetings of Dr.. Mudd with Booth and young
Surratt in Washington, as also as to visit
of Booth to Bryantown but this, sifted,
amounts to but little; particularly when we
consider the amount of contradictory evil
dence On this point.

Tall Grain.

Judge Cation has shown us handful of ears
taken from a seven acre field of white winter
wheat near his residence. The ears are seven
inches in length, and filled with plump, healthy
corns. He is confident of reaping 40 bushels to
the acre from the field. The same field had
white winter wheat in it last year, yielding a
handsome crop, and although it was ploughed
and well sown again last September, Judge C.
is satisfied that the wheat now on the ground is
not from that he sowed, but from what was left
of the old crop and had been plowed in. He
gives it as an argument in favor of blowing in
wheat instead of covering with drag or drill
Mr.. VIM. Poor, of Serena, has also shown us
some rye, q feet high, taken from a field which
he is confident will yield so bushels to the acre.
Winter wheat around here, of which very little
was sown, was generally winter-kiled; but
