1T strikes us that there was a good

reasonably rGlegitiuately expected.
All subsequent deVelopements tend 10
Substantive our argument thatiit WINS

the argument sound that the future

there will be balances from year to

up the following as the best that he, can
offer:
GAS the radicals are prone to grasp at
strRws for the purpose of weaving them
into party capital, 1t Is probable they
may complain of the removal OF MI.
McCauley, the loss OF whose arm gives
him some claim to popular sympathy.
To foEestall any effort of that kind we
would simply say that. McCauley's re-
moYal was necessary In order to pro-
vide suitable work for MI. Graham, the
loss of whose leg in the army has rem
dered the position in the Postoftlce to
which he was first assigned too labo-
rious for him to I'LL. A one.leoged
soldier Is certainly entitled to as much
consideration as one who has lost an
arm. ME. Graham is a supporter of the
Federal administration; Mr.. ,McCauley
was the candidate for Recorder on the
radical ticket in this county this fall"
some excuse for discredtt liable act is
said to be better than none. We think
however in this case perfect silence
would have been the part of decency as
compared with the miserable subter-
tuge fesorted to. That Mr.. Macauley
was not removed to make room for Mr..
Graham Is shown by the fact that two
other men who had never been soldiers,
were introduced into the Office simul-
taneouslyg with his removal, while Mr.
Graham became the successor of an
other clerk several weeks ago. The
idea that Mr.. Macauley had to be re-
moved in order TO make room for Mr..
Graham is.a very transparent comeloR
indeed. The real explanation is found
In the remark of the rebel sheet at the
close of the above paragraph, that EtAIr.
Macauley was the candidate for Re-
corder On the Radical ticket in this
county this fall.i Had he turned his
back on his principles and been the
Copperhead candidate for that office, or
had he consented to even support the
Copperhead ticket, he would not have
been removed. 1t was because of his
principles, and for no other reason,that
he was removed. To his honor let the
fact be recorded. ~
In this connection we may mention
that one of the new clerks, who takes
position simultaneously with Mr.. Ma
cauley's removal, isrumored to be a
gentleman who resided in Canada
during the war; ~ asfrG

THE OLD STORY.

and hc saw the tears 10 my eyellds start,
For he was the world to mo
Vie whispered low when the Sprng-timc flow,
or thc tangled paths in which mon stray,
And around me all his arms he threw,
His eyes were on fire that day.
We parted yes but / clune to him,
And put up my lips to be kissed again;
But the laughing eyes of the heav'n grew DIM
And were swollen black with rain.
They came 10 me when my love was gone,
And said he was poor and toied for bread;
They talk'd of ruin and tears alone
Aud my heart was duil as lead.
And then they laid their brlbc ut my feet,
Twas the same old tale that is often told;
They played on the strings of my hearts conceit
And dazzled my eyes with gold.
I sold myself to q loveloss thing,
And walked to the altar and there lied;
For my heart was away by the primrose spring.
And by my husbands side.
And now you ask me what of the lie?
I've paid full dear for my girlish greed;
'Twore better think, for q woman to die,
Than to live the life lead.

And pray for the ruin OF Winters rain,
