MARRIAGE AND HoUsEKEEPING.-There are
a great many persons that are just begin
ming life, that are newly married, and that
are just turning, trust, away from the
hotel and the boarding house to keep house
for think that next to virtue, housekeep-
ing is the most desirable thing for newly
married persons. You will perhaps wonder
what have to say upon this. / have this
to say that to any young PERSONS life this
is change so marked, it is step so differ
ent from'any other, that if you know how,
with the peculiar and critical step of your
life, to take also one other, it will not be
alone marrying for time-it will be love for
eternity. Is there anything more beautiful
than true love No flowers show such col
ors or exhale such fragrance as does true
love, that makes ones life a sacrifice for
and service of another. Is there any thing
more beautiful, this side of Gods throne,
than two right-minded and purely loving
souls beginning to live together, each one
servant in love to the other. Now, just
beginning virtuous welded life is not re-
ligion but if you make this the first step
in series, it will do more to lead to
Christian course of life, than perhaps any
thing possibly could.-Beecher.

To give the readers Of the TRInrsE COM

Iowa, It will be necessary. to Retrospect
little. On the eth day Of Jnne last, twenty

Brigadier General Thomas Hart Benton. Ju-
utor, {nephcw Of his uncle, } went through the
farce Of State Convention In this city. The

who had been identified the year before with

The speech made in Cleveland by President
johnson was the most undignidcd, disgrace
full and blackguasd of all Ills foul-mouth and
Insulting harangues., He undertook. to slan-
der and bully the loyal people Of Cleveland,
but he found that he had wakcned up the
wrong customers before he got through. lie
banded cpithcts with the.c-owd and got the
worst oft. He tried cutting retorts and got
cut back more severely. He called the peo-
pic Of Cleveland traitors and towards, and
shoddy spectators, aud they hurled back
his dastardly cpIthets in his teeth, telling
him be Was a liar and s1andcrer. The
county Of cuyahoga, of which Cleveland is
the capital, sent- 600 soldiers TO help put
down the rebellion, and gave him 1900
majority for Vice President, Every SECOND

To be called traitors, towards and skulk-

The rebel papers, North and South. for the
purpose Of countcracting the effect Of the
loyal Southern Convention in Philadelphia,
assert that the delegates hare no constituen-
cles. The Louisville Journal wants TO know
WHO appointed them. It declares that
with few exceptions from the Border
States, they arc absolutely without constitu-
cnts, and represent nobody but themselves"
It docs not occur to these papers, apparently,
that In making this admission they confess
ali tia: the Republican party clalms, and de.
libcratcly write their own condemnation.
Whoever sent these deaegates to Philadel-
phia, or even If they were sent By nobody at
all, no one questions their loyalty to the
Union. And if they have no constituencies,
If they really represent nobody but tbem-
selves, as the Journal INSERTS. Why Is its
Simply because they arc loyal, and because
the great mass Of the people by whom they
arc surrounded arc disloyal. That is pre-
ciscly what Congress says. It asserts the
right of The loyal men Of IL State to govern
that State, be they few or many, and it de-
nics that right to the disloya1. It SAYS tho
South is yet essentially disloya1, and hence
unit to be admitted to full political fellow"
ship, until it giycs sufficient guarantees
that the loyal and not the dis1oyal shall gog-
ern. This was the doctrine Of Andrew John
son himself before he fell, like Lncffrr, the
son OF morning, to rise no more.
It will not help the Coppcrhcads 4 particle,
therefore, to say TINT these men have no con-

On the return Of the Presidential cortcgc
from the Monumental ceremonies to the Shcr-
man House, the feelings of the people were
made manifest ina way there vas no dissuis-
ing or ,uistaking. In the street in front of the
hotel there were standing, perhaps, 5000
1ucn--a large proportion, perhaps major
ity, of whom, were strangers from the couu-
try. Tho first carriase that drove up con-
tanned President johnson and Secretary
Seward. The two nlighted. and arm in arm
proceeded mp the front hisht Of stairs which
was crowded with people. Not cheer
greeted, not symptom OF pleasure was on
any mans face. The large hall up stairs was
filed with pcople-strangers aud citizens.
The crowd stood back to let them pass to

to freedom sneaked away to their apart
1ncnts.
Ihc next carriage contained Secretary

also proceeded up stairs through the crowd.
But they too were greeted with the COLI
tcInptuous silence of the people as these
"satraps and dcrendants'' followed their

noisy greeting.
