THE FUTURE OF DEMocRACY.-The II.
Y. Evening Posi- appears inclined to abandon
its old association, and thus sketches the
future Of the Democratic party:
These questions Of reconstruction are most
ly questions Of transition, and viii soon be
ont of the way. Homogeneous society will
peryade the republic, Northern andSouthcrn
peculiarities will disappear, and the same
distinctions OF party will prevail at the
South as nj the North. That distinction will
be made by the eternal antagonism which
seems 70 exist between theprinciple Of Right
and the maxims Of Expediency. There are
those who hold that governments are insti-
tuted TO promote the general welfare, and
there are those who hold that governments
are instituted solely 10 establish universal
Justice; and between the methods, as well as
the aims of these, there is always differ
ence and conflict. The one uses its powers
Cor active interference in all the concerns OF
society the other would restrict that inter
ference 10 the simple protection of human
liberties. Consequently, the one desires 20
legislate through special Legislation, patron
age, favor, encouragement and expenditures,
while the other desires 70 operate through
the unrestricted energies Of the people.
The one believes in State establishments,
in endowments and subsidies, in what are
called Internal improvements, in protective
tariffs and discriminating taxes; and the
other in impartial Law, equal rights and the
largest liberty Of the individual. The one
orders its action by what il deems expo
dent or useful for the time or according to
its own fsllible Judgment, and the other
looks alone 20 the immutable law Of right,
which is the same here and everywhere,
now and forever. Around the one viii nst-
urally rally all whe seek 10 grow rich OF
great be the adventitious assistance Of power,
whilo the other must rs naturally depend
upon the purer instincts, the native disinter'
estcdness and good sense Of the masses OF the
people. What the one will be called wall
depend upon the shifting issues of the day
but the other viii cling to its bapusnlal
name OF Democrat SD lesttla

Iearninr n TrasIe.

IL was wise law of the ancient Jews,
that the sons Of even their wealthiest men
should be obliged to serve an apprentice
ship TO some useful occupation, so that in
case of reverse Of fortune they might have
something 10 sffall back on" The same still
exists in Turkey, where every man, even the
Sultan himself must learn trade. How
fortunate would il be now, had it been a law
in this country. "Would TO God / had a
trader is the cry of thousands of returned
soldiers, North and South, who find them
selves ruined in pocket, with no immediate
prospects Of gaining livelihood. IL should
teach parents that whatever else they may
give their sons, they should give a good
trade. One Of our Contemporaries most truth
fully remarks that o popular idea among
our people is that all Of their sons should
adopt clerkships, and the adoption Of the
business of bookkeeping as means Of OBJ
tanning their livelihood, and every effort is
made to give them an education to that end.
So far as the education of their children in
the science of keeping proper accounts is
concerned, the idea is good one, as every
young man should have sufficient know
ledge 10 properly manage his own books
should he ever embark into business, but 20
make book-ksepers and clerks of all our boys
is a grand mistake. Better place them in
a workshop, mill, or foundry, where they
can learn Independent trades, which at all
times viii secure for them employment, and
the pecuniary compensation for which will
be at least as much, If not more, than the
business Of accounts. We earnestly advise
all parents TO teach their sons trades, no
matter what, 80 that il is an industrious
pursuit; and let us in the future be spared
the pain of seeing 80 many stout, a5le-bodied
young men out of employment, and seek
ing situations where the pen only can be
used. r

mlnistered the last consolatins of reli-
gion to the guilty man. Although the
time was brief, the prisoner wsvery cool,
always retaining his presene of mind,
and seemed much affected by the parting
words and admcnitions of the elergymsn.
AT six o'clock the deputy sheriff went
to the cell and announced TO Oirecks that
ne must accompany him 70 The scaffold.
de made no reply, but at nee followed
the sheriff, and passed though the dense
crowd, apparently with little concern for
them, with his eyes fixed upon the gallows.

prayer was offered by he clergyman.

was placed upon him. The moose was
fastened about his neck, snd the drop fell.

and then all was over.
The body was cut down by the Sheriff,
and the crowd, satisfied that justice had
been done, dispersed quietly to their
homes.
During the afternoon the prisoner gave
the following items concerning his perso-
nal history to the Sheriff. He said L was
born in Germany am twenty-seven years
of age the son of respectable parents.
Ran away from home; came to America;
entered the regular army; served five
years under Col. r. L. Lee. At the out
