Mr.. B. NJ. Kitchen, OF Berkeley coun.
ty, who is the radical candidate for Con
gress in this District, has published card
to the voters, from which we make the
following extract:
"In keeping With the policy of the U.
MON party Of West Virginia, I am utterly
opposed 10 "my policy" as promulgated
BY The President and conservative party
of the counlry. 1t is but base and igno-
bic sale Of The great Union party of the
nation to The late traitors and rebels in
arms. Such per6dy and bad faith on the
part Of the chief executive Of the nation
should not 60 unrebuked, bu, should call
forth the analhemas and eXecration Of ev.
cry true and loya patriot and friend of the
Union. Compared with ;he relentless
and bitter aggressive war Of the President
upon Union men, the imbecility Of James
! Buchanan when in the chair, sinks into
utter insgniicance. Ills policy in blunt
matter of fact, is reasonable usurpation
of powers belonging 10 other departments
of the government. He wrenches the
spoils and the fruits of successful war
from The viclors and gives them 10 the
vsnquished. Instead of making "reason
odious," as his record has repeatedly and
emphaiically pronounced, he has made
''loy ally odious' and treason respectable.
Although the South is fostering all over
and breaking out with reasonable riots
and rebel mobs. he has the assurance 10
pronounce his policy as success, and the
reconstructed States all quietly resuming
their functions in loyal obedience and
good faith in the Union.
While thus the whole course and poll
cy of the President, in my opinion, tends
TO destroy and render nuIlity all the
achievements and fruits of the war, still
turn with hopeful solcilude and interest
10 the loyal Congress OF the U. States.
The proposed Constitutional Amendment
enbodies fully the true plan of reconsIruc-
lion for the late rebellious States. This
Amendment should al az early day as
possible be adopted by the requisite num-
ber Of States. and bechme incorporated
into our Federal Constitution.
PRETTY AMUSEMENT ardener,
whv do YOU water the sidewalk so muchP' .
Gardener, "Sure. master has nothing 10
amuse him. and so he makes me keep the |
sidewalk wet, while he looks out Of the
window at the ladies' ankles.

The Committee are pushing the work
along rapidly at The Cemetery. There
have been made up to the presen, writing
1850 ipIerments. SIX hundred Of these
bodies have been removed from the battle
fields and by-places where the gallant

held more sacred than !le itself. Seven

of The latter died in hospitals at this point

Chicago, Sept 6.-The entry Of the
presidential procession upon the monu-
men, grounds was the first impressive
poin! in the proceedings. A band Of mu-
sic preceded the cor,ege. A battalion OF
Knights Templar succeeded, and the rep
Iiesenratives OF the Masonic Fraternity
followed. The latter ascended the stand
and rested around The base of the mohu-
ment, where they prepared 10 perform
their ancient rites.
At this point. and just before the ap-
pearance of the President, the vast crowd
broke the ropes placed around the reserved
grounds and rushed to nearly all parts OF

the exertions of the Templars and Els
worth Zouaves.
A light shower fell for a few minutes,
but finished soon enough 10 avoid any
marrlng of the scene.
The President and party, with heads
uncovered, now entered the grounds. The
order Of their progress on foot was par.
licrlarIy noticeable. Mr. Seward had
The PRESIDENTS arm; Secretaries WeIleS

Grant accompanied Senor Romero. At
the approach OF the procession the audi
dience, as il actua,ed by one simultaneous
impu'se rose to their feet. From the
house tops, where the ears stopped on
tie Lake shore, from people il the wln-
dows, in the vehicles, and even in the
trees, one long and hearty huzza ascend

siderable feeling, being al once all indiea-
ton of enthusiasm at the presence OF the
distinguished guests, and an appreciation
Of the solemnily of the occasion.
Interesting Masonic ceremonies having
been gone through with, the orator Of the
day, Major General Dix, addressed the

CHILDISH WISDOM.

Twas the hour of prayer, and the farmer
stood,
With thankful heart, and lowly

And prayed TO the author of every good,
That the father OF all would be very

And bless his creatures with raimenl and
food
That the blessing each day nigh, be re-
newed,
That every want might fnd relief,
PnG plenty for hunger. JOY for grief,
BE mea.u:,d out by the merclful One,
10 all who suffered beneath the sun.
The prayer concluded, the godly man
Went forth in peace TO inspect his farm;
And by his side delighted ran,
Glowing with every healhiuI charm,
HIS itde son, sprighlly boy,
Whose home was love, and whose life
was JOY,
And they ranbied over the golden fields.
And rhe father said. The harvest yields
a pjcnnluI crop, my son. this year;
My barns are TOO small for The grain |

And they wandered on through row and
OF plumy sheaves, and at length the
child.
With earnest look and rosy glow
On his shining cheek, looked up and
smiled,
And said, My father, do you not pray
For the poor and needy, day by day,
That God, the good, would The hungry
