THE PRINTER.-The following bean.
fnl tribute to the followers of the ssst;cL
and rule" is from the peu of B. +. Tav.
lor, of the Chicago Euenfng Journal =
The printer is the adjutant Of thouebt
and this explains the mystery Of the
mystery of the wonderful word that can
kindle hope as no song can that can
warm heart as no hope can i:
that word "we" with handsirl. hand
warmth In it-for the author and the
printer arc engineers together. Engi-
neers, indeed When the little Cosei n
bombarded Cadiz, at the distance Of FIVE
miles, it was deemed the very triumph
of engineering, But what is that range
to this, whereby they bcmbard the ages
yet to be oe- s119
There a. the "case" he stands and
marshals into line the forces armed for
truth, clothed in Immortality and English.
And what can be nobler than that equip
ment of thought in stearling Saxon
with a spear or shield therein, and that
commissioning it when we are dead, to
move grandly on to "the latest syllable
of recorded time" This is to win vic>
tory from death, for this has no dying in
it.
The printer is called laborer, and tho
Office he performs is toll. Oh, it is not
work but sublime life he is performing,
when he thus sights tine engine that is
to fling a worded truth in grander curve
than missile e'er before described fling
it into the bosom of an age unborn. He
throws off his coat indeed we but won
der the rather, that he does not put his
shoes from off his feet, for the place where
he stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago it wondered through the twi-.
light feebler than star it died upon
the ear. But the printer takes it up
where it was lying there 10 the silence
like wounded bird, and he sends it
forth from the ark that had preserved it.
and it flies on into tho future with the
olive. branch OF peace, and around the
world with melody, liks the dawning Of a
spring morning.

the wheat was only beginning to change
color. To the hop, grower, these rains,
accompanied by high winds, were not SO
acceptable, for in exposed situations the
young shoots were terribly battered. In
Kent, owing to the attack of insects, the

the season is from ten days to two weeks

Courts which ought ever to be faithful
interpre tation of Constitution
and laws as they are. He is not ju-
dicial law maker, many of whom, to the
grief of the profession, we have, but a
judicial law expounder, leaving the ma
king of the laws to those whose business
it is In his charges to the jury, he
lays down the law of the case with great
clearness and leaves all questions of fact
fairly to their determination.
Judge Villa ms is emphatically an
honest, impartial and just Judge. He
cannot be turned hairs breadth by
prejudice, by favor, or by interest, from
what he believes to be the justice of the
cause before him. SO we'll is his stern
integrity as Judge understood in this
community, that no counsel or suitor
ever undertook to influence him in the
decision of cause pending before him,
save by legal testimony and sound legal
argument.
Judge Williams is a christian gentle
man, ripe scholar, a sound and, we'll
read lawyer, and a just judge, to whom
the celebrated lines Of the opening of the
third ode of Horace will apply with as
much force and truth as to any other
man

With such candidate and in cause
so worthy, our own and tho counties of
the Western part of the State will vie
with Philadelphia and her sister coun-
ties of the East in raising the banner of
freedom and the Union still higher, and
in inugarating campaign for free prin-
ciples and united, peaceful and happy
country, which shall culminate in the
glorious victories of 1868, under the
leadership of a Thomas, Sheridan,

directing an election to be held for dele

The latest returns make the total of reg

cede, upon these figures, Radical ma

past month less than 1000 names have

The colored men have decisive majori-

are the smallest in the State. The NsV
Orleans Times is ucstionably ri Eht in
its conclusion that "the political com
plexion of this Convention seems to be
already decided beyond question. That
it will be overwhelmingly Radical there

derance Of blacks registered isvery large,
and as mass they will vote the Radical

ceptions to the general rule. OF course,
even at this late day, enough cOlored
people might possibly be influenced to
elect delegates to the Convention in some
lew Of the parishes; but We believe it
would be impossb bic to materially reduce
the large majority which the Radicals
seem destined to have, and therefore it
is better to look this matter boldly in the
face. and determine to make the best of
it," All this shows with how little de>
lay Sheridan has done his wo k and how
little romans to orranize u loyal civil
government His removal we are afraid
will be largely due to his success. We
do not believe that the President de-
