All for the UOId TimeO Democraov

All for the "Old Time0 Democracy
THE Age, in speaking OF the speeches made
last night at the Clymer mass meeting, says
they were full of the oId-time doctrines of
the Democratic party"
SO they were, and the whole spirit Of the
meeting was that of the Peace Democracy of
Pennsylvania during the war. 1t was
Democratic gathering throughout, composed
of the same class OF men who attended Demo
cratic meetings in 1868 and 1854, and opposed
Abraham Lincoln and the prosecution Of the
war. To illustrate the spirit of this Clymer
meeting, we will narrate little incident
which occurred in our presence.
A boisterous, loud mouthed Democrat, who
had been seated amid o wagon load of
companions, as they passed along in the pro-
cession, stood up, and plucl1ng off dirty old
hat from the head of one of his neighbOrs, held
it up before the crowd and exclaimed =" This
is the hat that Abe Lincoln stole from Mig
ger to a0eur through Baltimore"
This meeting is but an illustration of the
base uses to which conservative Republicans
are to be put in building up the regular old
time Democratic party. 1t is but just to state,
however, that aside from few leaders on the
stage, there were no conservative Republi-
cans in the crowd last night-at least none
who acknowledged themselves to be so. The
truth is, the August Convention movement
was a deep game to transfer conservative
Republicans bodily to the regular Democratic
party. They have already bolted the ar
rangement in New Y York and the swindle was
from the start SO apparent in this State, that
it failed utterly to enlist any popular sym
pathy or respect

TIE New York Herald, after casting Off
the party Of Southern sympathizers, is now
coming out as radical as it was before violent
in its conservatism. To-day it opposes negro
suffrage for the present, and strongly recon-
mends the adoption of the Constitutional
amendment by the Southern States:-
"Thls, among the Southern politicians may
seem hard condition either way; but as 1t is evil
dent that the North will not consent to a repre-
sentation of the Southern blacks in Congress
without suffrage, the Southern States must make
their election upon this amendment, one way or
the other. Nor can we understand why there
should be any hesitation, under the present
stale of things, in the choice of the alternative.
There is prejudice oftwo hundred years. gro with
IN the South against the admission OF the blacks
among the Southern whites to footing of poll
tical equality. This prejudice cannot be re-
moved by Congressional legislation, nor even by
a Constitutional amendment. II must be left to
the changing influences of time. Very we'll.
Even so this amendment proposes to leave it.
Every State concerned has the choice of admit
ting to or excluding from the suffrage its black
population; and as this prejudice against the
blacks is the prominent idea among the ruling
Southern whites, their only course is to accept
the amendment with the distinct understanding
among themselves that they will exclude the
blacks from the Dallot-boX in toto for the present,
submitting to the loss of their representation in
Congress-

New Absurdities in Numismatics-A new sys-
tenn of small coinage is now under considera-
tion by the Government and will in all proba-
blity be adopted. The proposed new cent is to
be made OF nickel, the same as at present, but
the centre OF the coin has raised star, the
Though the coin. The two-cent pieces have
two perforated stars, and the three-cent coins
three. Thus by holding either denomination to
the light, or by simply touching them SO as to
feel the holes, the value of piece OF money is
unmistakably known. The half-dimes and
dimes are larger coin of better metal, but are
to be distinguished by one and two perforated
stars.

General Grants Charge on the Enemy.
GENERAL GRANTS statement Of his political
views is terrible blow to the Clymer party
in this State. 1t is something for which they
were utterly unprepared. And it so admi-
rably hits the case that everybody sees at a
glance its tremendous effect. 1t sweeps away
at a breath the fallacies and deluslons with
which selfish and unscrupulous leaders have
attempted to befog the soldiers, and lead them
to the support OF man who was disloyal in
the hour of the nations sorest need. cit is a
gross insult" says the great leader, Ito ask
you to vote for such man, and against that
noble and gallant soldier, General Geary."
The voice of General Grant will be needed
by his tens of thousands of brave comrades in
arms, not merely because it is his voice, but
because be speaks the sentiments which must
fill every brave Union soldiers breast. The
Northern traitors who assailed the Govern
ment in the hour OF trial and danger, says
General Grant, are worse than the Southern
Rebel, led astray by local influences and as
SociatiOns.

IT is ESTIMATED in conservative quarters
that the slaughter of General Dix by the New
York Democrats will cost their party in that
State at least fifteen thousand votes at the
polls this tall. 1t will cause them to lose
votes in other States as well, since it so clearly
reveals the treachery of the Democrats to the
August Convention movement.

The Commercial says the gold market

shipments Of cotton from the South lessen.
ing the probabilities of an early export de-
mand for gold, has depressing effect upon
the premium. Foreign exchange weak and
fraction lower. Dispatches from New Or
leans report large increase in exports of
cotton, and the expectation Of an early ar
rival Of bills drawn against shipments has
produced q general desire to sell bills. The
upward tendency of Five-twenties at London,
Notwithstanding the fall in gold here, has
also had weakening effect upon exchange.

RusTORI As LADY MACBETH.

This great dramatic artistic rendered the
part of Lady Macbeth last evening with that
same exquisite finish and psrticulority which
has characterized all her performances IN
this city during the present week. 1t is not
by any means the part in which she most
fully developes her wonderfully varied
powers. The sleep walking, or somnambulic
scene, last night was the one in which she
excelled in that particular character. The
audience, during the scene, was spell-bound,
and at its close the pent mp feeling Of ad-
miration burst forth into the most enthu-
siastic applause, which. continued until RIs-
TORI appeared and acknowledged the com.
pliment. So electrical was the effect that
three Justices Of the Supreme Court--the
weightiest members of that bench-were dis.
covered paying tribute to the genius Of the
great arfiste. The court was not alone.

The Seizure Of Mstamoras.

It happened once to little boy to be ap-

absence Of the teacher. The little boy was
Jealous, but hardly discreet; when his school
fellows begaA to make noise, he began
to call to order; as they grew louder, his
voice rose also; and when the teacher returned
he found the school in an uproar and the
young monitor, with the best intentions, the
noisiest Of the crew. When order was re-
stored, the teacher called up the lad and
said: "No doubt You meant we'll, but never
theess you made blunder; you were set
here to watch, not to govern"

The Test Oath Unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court Of the United States
have agreed upon decision upon the con.
stitutionality Of the test oath. The question
came up on the cases presented in regard to
the exaction of the oath from attorneys, Of
which there were several under consideration
by the court, which were argued last Sum-
mer. The court has decided by vote Of
five to four against the constitutionality Of
the oath. The opinions will probably be
read on Monday next, if Judge GREER should
be able to be in attendance. 1t is under
stood that each Of the Judges will read his
own opinion.
The next important decision which ought
to eminate from this tribunal Is whether q
State, under the Constitution, can secede
from the Union.
