From the London Spectator ]
ARTEMUS WARD.

Is he gone 10 land of no Laughter,
his man that made lnirth for US all
Proves death but-a silence hereafter
From the sounds that delight or appalI!
Once closed, have the lips no more duty,
No more pleasure the exquisite ears?
Has the heart done o'erfiowing with beauty,
AS the eyes have with tears%
Nay, if aught be sure, what can be surcr
Than that Earth's good decays not with earth? ?
And Ofall the hearts springs nOneare purer
Than the springs of the fountains Of Mirth.
He that sounds them has pierced the hearts
hollows,
The places where tears are and sleep;
For the foam flakes that dance in litc's shadows
Arewrung from LIES deep.
He came with heart full of gladpess
From the glad hearted world of the West
w on our laughter but not with mere madness
SPake and jOked with US, not in mere Jest;
For the Man in our heart fingered after,
When the merriment died from our cars,
And those that were loudcst in laughter
Arc silent in tears.

GEN GR NJ

Gen. Grants acceptance of the appoint
ment of Secretary of War, al interim,
has caused many loyal men who have
heretofore been his friends and admirers
to regard him with distrust- They argue
that If he had not been IN favor of the Pres
ident's reconstruction policy he would not
have accepted the appointment-that there
was no compulsion in the casc,--that be-
ing a civil-o.iice the President had no pow
er OF right 10 order him to discharge its
duties, and that if he had refused to ac-
cept the appointment Stanton could have
successfully deiied the President. We
hope Gen. Grant will come out all right
vet, hut if he has turned his back upon
The party that upheld him and stood by
him during the war, and joined himself to
his old enemies and traducers, and who
still despise him for subduing fhe rebels,
he has only committed political suicide. as
Mcclellan did, that's al. No man, Gen.
Grant nor any one else, can be elected
President on the Copperhead ticket during
the present generati11.

johnson has removed General Sheridan,
the bold, fearless and true-heartcd com

appointed General George III. Thomas in
hisstead. We were in hopes Johnson
would keep his hands off Sheridan and al
low him to remain in the command where
he had done such good work and gained
the respect and confidence of all except
the most Tirulent and unreasonable rebels,
north and south; but if he had to be Teme-
we'd, no better, purer or more incompatible
patriot than Gen. Thomas could have been
found to succeed him. He will prove a
worthy successor of the gallant hero of the

been assigned tofhe Department of the

but that was when the Rebel massacre in
New Orleans and President Johnson $
harangues while swinging round the cir

people can generally read. Since theE-
the Republicans of Ohio have taken a de-
cided step forward by proclaiming them,
selves advocates of Equal Rights and I'm
partial Manhood Suffrage irrespective OF
Color. Eminently right as this is, it must
like all advance movements, cost No
party and no man ever docs noble or

not be noble and brave IL it did not And
we presume this step forward will cost the
Republicans Of Ohio several thousands OF

For that State was largely peoplcd from
yirginia, from Maryland, and Kentucky,-
States whose blood the virus of Slavery
long since tainted beyond the hope OF
speedy eradication. The counties along
the Ohio, and so far west as GAINESVILLE and

phobia; while several that were settled
years ago by school-hating, -rum-loving

But, on the other lIand, tlie Radicals and
their cadidate for Governor, Gen. Hayes

THE
UNION PACIFIC
RAIL ROAD CO.
Their First Mortgage Bonds
AS Az INVESTMENT.

! The rapid progress OF the Union Pacific Railroad
now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, ans
forming, with its western connections, an unbrokeI
line across the continent, attracts attention an,
value OF the First Mortgage Bonds which the Gem
pany now offer to the public. The first question
asked by prudent investors is, Are these bonds se-
cure?' Next, Are they n profitable investmontg'
| To reply in brief:
lat. The early completion OF the whole great lin,
to the Pacific is as certain as any future busines,
event can be. The Government grant over twenty
million Of land and fifty million dollars in 1t,
own sonds practically guarantees it. One fourth o
the work is already done, and the track continues
BE- laid at the rate of two miles day.
| I'd. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued
upon what promises to be of the most proitabl,
lines Of railroad IN tho country. For mary years il
must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and
! the Pacific; and being without competition, it can
maintain remHnerativo rates.
Sd. i2j miles Of this read finished, and fully
equipped with Gepots, locomotives cars &C. and two
| trains daily running each way. The materials
for the remaining % miles to The eastern base oflh
Rocky Mountains on hand, and it is under con-
tract to be done in September.
4th. The net earnings Of the sections already fin
ished sererl times greater than the gold interest
upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections
and if not another mile Of the road were built the
part already completed would not only pay inter
and expenses, but be profitable to the Company.
9th. The Union Pacific Railroad Bonds can be is
suod only the road progresses and therefore can
never be in the market unless they representa- iona
fde property.
9th. Their amount is strictly limited 10y law to a
sum equal to what is granted by the U. 5. Govern
ment and for which il takes a second lien its sccu-
rity. This amour Mt upon the first SIT miles west
from Omaha is only $4,000 per mile.
7th. The fact that the L. 5. Government considers
a second lien up,n the road good invesrm a.l
that some OF the shr AL est railroad builders Of tie
country have already paid in five million dollars uI
on the stock (Which is to them third licn), may
well inspire confidence in a first lien.
sth Although it is not claimed that there n be
any better securities than Governments, there are
parties who consider a first mortgage upon ouch
property this the very best security in the world
aud who sell their Governments to re-invest in these
bonds-thus securing a greater interest.
9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are Of
fered for the present at 90 cents the dollar and
accrued interest they the cheapest security in the
market, being than Is yer cent. less than L. s.
Stocks.
