PATENT BROOM FAsTENERs.-We are
in possession of one of the patent broom
fasteners, for which G. w. Murphy owns
the right in this and some other counties.
It is one Of those instruments whose sim
plicity and usefulness cause one to won
der why they were not discovered long
ago. Any man or woman, or child twelve
years cid, can make a first rate broom
with these fasteners in two or three min
utes.
We are of opinion that in a very short
time these fasteners will supereede the
old style of brooms wherever broom corn
is grown. Enquire for Murphy's Broom
Fastener.

s. not surprising, since THE TRIBUNE is not
satisfied with their treatment by Tic Post We
consider that journal consciously working TO-
ward alliance with ard ultimate ABSORPTION into
the formidable party which lives by empty pro-
fsSsionS Of Democracy and practical devotion to
the mesnest and most odious form Of aris-
tocgscy--that which dooms whole race TO
perpetual ignominy and vassslage. Its
leader of Saturday like so many be.
fore it-seems especially calculated to
indurste tender consciences to the guilt and
shame Of betraying the Blacks Of the South into
the power of tho who hate and will torture
them for their devotion to the Union in the dark
day of its utmost peril. And We do greatly sp.
prehend that the President is constantly tempted
aud urged to like course by assurances that he
may secure reelection BY the votes OF Copper
heads aud Rebels, aided by small fragment o.
the Union party, alienated from their natural
associations BY following the lead Of Gov. Sew

could but this belief OF Mr.. Stephens be trans

Southern States, the problems of reconstruction

the outlook for the South is somewhat gloomy.
We judge that his best hopes lilo in the two con-
ditions above stated, genuine loyalty to the
Union and justice to the negro. And he makes
the remarkable adinissiOn-espccially remark

Let us consider what it is that has provoked
this fcrocious denunciation Of Congress and
awakened these servile echoes:
A great majority of the Members were elected
during the War for the Unon-elected as I'M
qualified, uncompromising foes of the Rebellion.
Others were chosen as DemOcrats-we leave
them TO define what they ,esre chosen ior-but
their case is not now in point. These War
Unionists find, when they assemble in Congress,
that the Rebellion has collapsed, and that quite
number Of It's conspicuous military and OWL
magnates are now claimants of seats in this very
body-are profered as pillars Of that very Ma
tional cdifce which they so recently shed rivers
Of blood TO subvert and destroy. Is it surpris.
| ing-is it not perfectly natural-that those who
have been fighting for the Union-many Of
them still smsrtng from wounds inflicted by
Rebel bullets and mourning their brothers and
sons slain by Rebel shells and bayonets-should
pause and inquire before admitting these red
handed foes of yesterday to the inner sanctuary
of the National lifef 1t is not yet six years
since men sat in Congress, plotting day by day,
in conjunction with Cabinet Ministers, Foreign
ambassadors and Governors Of States, the dis.
ruption and downfall of the American Union

tors, now demand admission e. right to seats
in either Hous,: il It not reasonable that Con-
