The Late Disasters OF the DemOc-
.dtl. +>F = racy.


Haf.tf.F ~ 1A facy'
From the unexpected and unprece-
dented disasters suffered by the democ-
racy in the recent elections they stand
confounded and demoralized. From
Maine to Origon the popular majorities
rolled up against them rise to the grand
aggregate of half. million. We may
aptly compare this triumphant cam
campaign Of the republicans to the
grand march of Sherman, sweeping
everything before him, through Geor-
gia and the Carolinas, or to those ter
rife seven days of General Grant from
Pittsburg to Appomattox Court House
in which he demolished the army Of
Lee and crushed the rebellion And
yet in the sum total Of more than
million of votes polled by the democ-.
racy in these late elections they have
still the nucleus for a powerful recog-
nization.
But as with the lately insurgent
States, so it is with the disjointed, de-
feated and idisorganized democratic
party-the first thing needed to set it
upon, its legs again is reconstruction.
How can it be reconstructed so as to
stand =? It's old laundering copper
head leaders and controlling newspa-
per organs arc casting about, right and
left, and shooting off here and there in
various directions for some new road
out of the "Slough of Despond. -
Thus while the leading copperhead
party trumpeter in the West blows a
a blast for universal suffrage, negroes
and all, his eopperhead brethren of the
East are consoling themselves with the
idea Of dead lock on the-SodtheIn
question, and propose to wait, like the
excluded States, and do nothing, in the
hope that something may turn up.'-
But this is a sorry expedient. Itprom-
ises nothing, and if adopted it viii re-
suit in nothing but the rapid disap-
pearance of the remains of a party
which will have given up the ghost.
Something better than this may be
done upon the Northern democratic
nucleus of a million and quarter Of
votes. The. exigency, however, re-
quires nothing less than reconstruc-
ton Of the party on new foundation

Death Of General Cass.

The telegraph on the 17th instant,
Announced the death of Gen. LEWIS
ICAss, who has been in frail health for
many months past. The Cincinnati
Gazette contains summary OF his
life, from which we extract the follow
ing:
LEWIS CAss, the eldest son Of Ma
ior Jonathan Cass, soldier of the
revolution, was born at Exeter, New
Hampshire, on the 9th Of October,
1852. He was chosen a member of
the Ohio Legislature in 1S06, and
drafted the bill which authorized the
fGovernor to call out the militia and
break up unauthorized military prep
arations. This measure was designed
to check the operations of Aaron
Burr, of whose plot, Mr.. Cass had
been Informed by Mr.. Jeiferson.-
shortly after he drafted an address to
the President, expressive of the at
tachment of the West to the Union.
This procured him the appointment
of Uuitcd States Marshal of Ohio
The war of 1912, with which he ar
IDENTIFY sympathised, turned his atten-
ton TO military affairs. lie was then
made Colonel of the Sd Ohio regi-
ment, which marched TO Detroit, and
aftcrward invaded Canada. 1t is as
serted that Col. Cass was the first
armed American to put his foot on
British soil after the declaration of
hostilities. The expedition accom-.
plished little, however, aud the force
returned to Detroit, where it was soon
surrendered with the rest Of General
llull's command.
Col Cass, disgusted with the ca
pitulation, broke his sword when or.
dcred to deliver il up. lie was pa
rolled with other of the Ohians. lie
went directly to Washington, carry
lug the earliest news of the disaster.
He was exchanged in January, 1913,
and shared in Uarison's triumphant
campaign.
In August, 1881 President Jack
son appointed him Secretary of War.
He remained in Office until 1886,
when he was made Minister TO France.
In 1874 he was an unsuccessful can
ddate for the Democratic nomination
TO the Presidency. The friends of
Mr.. Van Buren, and his own suppor-
tcrs could not harmonize, and Mr..
Polk became the choice of the con-
In 1851, Gen. Cass was
again elected Senator. In 1852 he
was a third time candidate for the
Presidential nomination but, as in
1914, the conflicting claims of anoth-
or politician-Mr. Douglas this time
occupying the place of Mr.. Van Bu-
ren-rcsultcd in the choice of a third |
pcrson-Franklin Pierce. Under the
new administration, Gen. Cass voted
for the bill repeating the Missouri
Compromise, after il had been modi-
fed by conforming its doctrine to that
of his letter of 1917. BY this act
he dug his own political grave. Not
only did he fail of reelection as
Senator, but was instructed to change
his vote on the Kansas question.
On the success of Mr.. buchanan,
Gen Cass became Secretary of State,
resigning the position, however, be-
fore the close of the Presidential
term, retiring to private life. Ills
strong constitution and very temper
ate habits insured him healthy old
age. Until within few months his
energy was remarkable for man of
his years At last a complication of
diseases confined him to his room,
and finally BROUGHT his life to a close.

Georgia after the War-What is
THOUGHT OF GEN. SHERMAN.


One cannot help but be amused at
the half numerous way in which,
though the havoc of war is visible on
every side, people refer their individ-
ual losses, and the disjointed state Of
things generally, to Mr.. Sherman, as
they call him. One man has a piece
of town property to sell and another
asks:
"What improvements ,"
"Nono but the improvements made
by Mr.. Sherman. "
Or is it plantation ho wants to
sell
"Gin.h house, did you say?"
"No; there was, but Mr.. Sherman
you know
Dwelling?"
"No, Mr., sherman"
"Is there bridge over the crcek?'
No, Mr.. Sherman
Is there a Grist Mill near the
placer"
"No, Mr.. sherman"
Acquaintances mounted on sorry
horses meet, try to laugh at each 9TH
er's Rosiuantese.
"Woll you know Mr.. Sherman
The popular idea of Sherman is OF
a being in whom are combined the
fantastic and the terrible man
with the courage of Hector, the ac.
tiyity of a harlequin, the sleepless-
ness of a weasel, the persistence and
power of steam engine, and the iu-
Try of the dread chimera. " They
believe he lives on brandy, and RACES,
and swoars, and gives orders, day and
night, "Sleep y said a man at
whose house the General made his
headquarters, | tell you don't be-.
lieye the man ever sleeps. To them
General sherman is like " Folker, the
! Fiddler" " in Niobelungen Lied, "
the drawing of whose mighty fiddle
stick set everything about him to
dancing, in fire and blood. "Grant, -
they say, is a regular old FOUNDER,
aud gentleman but sherman, oh,
sherman is just well, he's just Mr..
