Col ". ". II. Davis, editor of the Bucks
county Democrat, referring to the recent
appointment of Gen. Hartranft to a Colo
nelcy in the regular army, urges the .Presi-
dent to revoke it, on the ground that Gen.
Hsrtranft opposes .'my policy" Col Da-
Wis is the man who received such sound
drubbing last fall, when he ran against Gen.
Hartranft for Auditor General. His at
tempt to have Grants appointment of

TRANSIENT YoUNG MEN-Girls, beware
ot transient young men; never suffer the
addresses OF a stranger; recollect that one
steady farmer boy or mechanic is worth all
the floating trash in the world. The allure
uents of dandy Jack with gold chain
about his neck, walking stick in his paw.
some honest tailor's coat on his back. and a
brainless skull, can never make up the loss
OF father house and mothers counsel,
and the society of brothers and sisters their
affections last, while those of such a young
man are lost in the wane of the honeymoon.

Tuesday was the proudest day In the ! his Is

sny similar demonstration on this continent
Evep on Saturday large delegations began
.o arrive. On Monday the concentrating
streams we're enlarged. Tuesday the tide
ofdelepatisris overhowed ard deluged the
a,;tv Sc many names made historic by val
orous deeds have not been drawn together
,ince the final and formal review OF the u
MON armies at Washington upon the close
of the war. Thousands and tens OF thCus-
.snds of Scared and manned veterans are
here, bringing legends from all the famous
hattie fields on which patriots perished that
the nation might live. Their purpose can
not be mistaken. 1t beams from their
counfepanees: it flashes from their eyes 1t

;tutterance. Having saved the Union, they
do not mean the just fruits OF victory shall
he wrenched from their hands by thetreach-
srv of the President or the cajolery OF his
new-found friends.
What welcome these men have received !!
Never before was there SO profuse a fiaunt-
mo Of banners, and flags, and notices, and
devices. Our people were glad to receive
the heroes and gave expression to their de-
light with their whole hearts.
But-the procession. Tuesday ht-what
shall we say of it? Itsurpasses description.
Almost every building was adorned and il
Illuminated A deluge of men and woman
filed the streets, surging and swaying like
the waves of the ocean. Over all rose and
fell the majestic swells of martial music,
mingliug with the multitudinous voices OF
the people. =
This grand display leads to one result,
which is, that the people who own this gov
ernlnent-by whose tolls and sacrifices it
was preserved-do not mean to surrender 1t
at the dietation of the President What
they did once, they can do again. We be
to those who shall cause them, in last ex

appeal is most improbable. This sublime
demonstration, attesting the popular will,
can not fail of being respected, both by mer
in power and out of power.-Ptts6urg Ga
