Married

On Wednesday, the 23rd instant, at the
residence of the brides mother, at Fillmore,
Bossier parish, La, by the Rev. S. y. Sur
raft, Mr.. JOHN w. RAINS to Miss Lou Z.
CORNELL.
B We congratulate the happy couple
whose hearts, fortunes and beings are to-
gether blended by the most sacred ties of
the human affections-and wish them all
the joy appertaining to the new state they
have just entered May every day of their
welded life be as happy as their bridal eve
And through life, as onward their barque
glides adown the stream of time, to the
boundless realms of eternity-freighted
with the hopeful and ambitious aspirations
of two eonfding hearts-may they be sus
tanned and soothed by an abiding harmony,
"attuning all their passions into love p
May their summer be gay as the roses
That hang on the bushes in June
Their autumn made up of reposes
AS calm as the sleeping lagoon.
And when the cold blasts of December
Assal them in life's later years
May this be their life-to remember
No hour that was Swallowed by tears"

Soldiers Conventions.

A Soldiers Convention, in support of the
Union, is natural. respectable and pleasing
thing. But Soldiers Convention, in be-
half of the party that denounced soldiers as
hirelings, maraudersan mufderers, deserves
to be ranked among psychological curiosi-
ties. When the call for the Convention
was issued, it struck us as such an insult to
the brave men whom the Copperhead press
had habitually libelled, that we compared
the list of names appended to it with the
Adjutant Generals Report, andswith some
other documents The result of the com
parison was not particularly complimentary
to those who resigned their commissions
and gave up soldering in the first year of
the war. That those who shrank from field
service, and sickened at the smell of gun
powder, should sit lightly with General
Geary, and feel their hearts warming to-
wards the pacific Mr. Clymer, is not sur
prlsing. Their taste for war was more than
satisfied when they shifted the battle from
afdr
That some good soldiers and honest men
may be deluded into this movement is not
at all unlikely. And it is easy to discover
how fondness for onspicuity and distant
hopes of office may lead some to go into it.
But after ALL if they were true to the service
of the country as soldiers, their present po-
sltion, where they are sure to have all the
bounty, jumpers, stragglers and deserters for
their comrades, is not the one that they
should occupy. Every good soldier will
blush to see them in it. If they were mere
ly mercenaries, and served for their pay,
that alters the case.-Rtts. Com.

The editor of the Cleartield Republican
in his issue of August lst, copies from the
Rattsn,dn's Journal what purported to be
the form of organization of the Democratic
Mystic Circle and, in SO doing, does not
pretend to deny the genuineness of the doc
uments, but effects to treat the exposure
as mere joke; and then INDUCES in GER
tain ambiguous and pusillanimous insinua
tions of slanderous nature, entirely foreign
to the subject matter, and beneath the dig
nifty of a gentleman. Now, if the editor of
the. Republican, has any charge to prefer
against any one, let him do it manfully,
plainly, unequivocally, so that he can be
ans,oered as he deserves; or, failing to do
this, let him publish a full and acceptable
retraction of his insiduous aspersion. The
facts in the case demand such an alterna-
tive; and the editor Of the Republican must
do one or the other, or stand before the
public as vile and malicious falsifer and
slanderer of private character. Neither ST.
lence nor equivocation shall avail him. A
positive charge, or frank retraction alone
will do Let him choose which ''horn of
the dilemma" he please?

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
Showing their Hands.

Chief Justice Ruffin, of North Carolina,
has written long essay to prove that the
new Constitution of the State, adopted by
the Convention assembled under the require
ments of the President of the United States
while the State was under Provisional
Government, is illegal and void. He de-
clares that the Convention was not legiti-
mate body, and that the act of the Presi-
dent in suggesting or ordering the call, as
the case may be, was an act ''of despotic
usurpation." He says that the Convention
had no right to make Constitution, or to
alter that which we had and hare" Brought
down to a plain point this means that the
Rebellion is the only valid one that the
consent of the Convention of 1865 to the
abolition of slavery, and that the repudia-
tion of the Rebel debt, are all void. The
consequences of such doctrine would go as
far as to revive slavery, reaffirm the right
of Secession and revoke the reputation of
the Rebel debt. In fact, Chief Justice
Rufin afirms that affairs are in stdtt quo
ante bellunl. With that principle, also, will
go the ratification OF the Constitutional A
mendmeut abolishing slavery, because it was
adopted by Legislature acting under an
illegal Constitution. If Chief Justice Ruff
fin is right, everything that has been done
towards restoration since the overthrow of
the Rebellion is wrong All the Southern
States were reconstructed according to the
President policy, in the same way as North
Carolina. IF the proceedings in that State
have been illegal, they have been so else
where. Slavery is not abolished; the right
of secession is not resigned and the Rebel
debt will have to be paid We should not
wonder if the doctrines Chief Justice Ruffin
would Immediately become popular through
out the South. The people of that section
would willingly restore the old state of af
fairs if they could, and now that they are
told by high judicial officer that they may
do SO, they will exclaim "Oh, righteous
