We know nothing of the gentlemen. who

In conversation, recently with a distinguished
American, whose three score and ten years of
service in behalf of his fellow citizens and coun-
try have silvered his hair, and heapcd honors
upon his name, we took occasion to dcprecate in
some degree the nexperiences OF youth Our
friend checked us, and said he had noticed that
the greatest acts OF their life, by which soldiers
and statesmen establish their reputation, were
performed while still young, say less than forty.
How many Instances history furnishes of this.
II is true not only OF men Of action, but with
iurists philosophers, orators, men Of study,
thought, and research
Looking nj the great lawyers of the country,
pursued our friend, there is scarcely an cxcep-
ton to the rule, Jay and Marshall, in their late
years, did little more than circle round like q
horse in u bark mill. The distinguished services
upon which man must depend for permanent
fame, he must perform In his early manhood.
| If the remaining years Of life sustain the rcputa-
ton already earned, and neither suy ii nor per-
nit its decline, he should be satisfied.
| The point under discussion was . question OF
public policy and the principles of law and gov
ernment why, sir," said our friend, 9 have
"no new ideas on this subject. The same prn
"ciples which advocate now, urged just as
warmly thirty years ago, then discerned

EUROPE


NRw York, Oct. 20.-The steamship Russia
brings European dates to the twentieth inst. The
London Times contains a glorious account Of the
visit oi the civic, military and naval authorities
OF Portsmouth to Farragut
The affair throughout was one of the most i'm
posing ever witnessed In those waters. The
Mayor Of Portsmouth invited the Admiral to a
banquet. He was Obliged to deciiue owing to his
intended departure.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have return
ed to England the latter greatly improved in
health.
The King Of Prussia had narrow escape from
losing his life by collision on railroad, he be-
Ing passenger in one OF the ears.
In the North German Parliament Count Bis
mark spoke against clause to the army bill con-
ierring the right upon the COMMANDMENT Chief
to Increase the army as far us necessary, but it
was nevertheless adopted by n large majority.
Count Bismarks point was that snch action on
the part of the Commander would always have a
tendency to disturb the peace not only of Ger
many but of all Europe.

PERNICIOUS .STORLE.S.

We find the following story going the
rounds of the newspapers.
Mrs Lincoln, one day drove up to the
door OF Genin's Store, under the St. Nicholas |
Hotel, New York, and beokoned to one of |
the clerks, who was speaking to friend at I
the door, to come to her The clerk knew
her but pretended to take no notice, though
she beckoned again and again. A lady who
was in the carriage then stepped out and
walking UP to the clerk asked him if he
knew who that lady was. He replied, some.
what indfferently, that he 9 did not care.
Why said she, bridling up, that is Mrs
Lincoln and she wants YOU to w,t on her.
:" l don't know any difference between Mrs.
Lincoln and the wife OF mechanic said
the clerk, " if she will come into the store,
| will attend to her, but am not employed
to wait on people in the street
We do not care whether this story il true
or not. We simply give it as fair sample
OF its class, for the purpose Of protesting
against the publication Of such stories by re-
spectacle newspapers, with an air of glec
and approval, as though such exhibitions of
impolteness in the part Of any young man
could render him more manly. From the

The BALTIMORE GAZETTE, asserts with I'M
blushing positiveness that :" Mr.. Francis
"Thomas knows, and each individual mem
''ber of Judiciary Subcommittee knows
THAT the Constitution of Maryland is more
republican in form to-day than it ever has
sheen since the State was settled, and that
sit is just as much republican government
''as is the government of any north Of the
'Potomac."
OF course this is not true. Maryland,
like Delaware, succumbed TO the influence
of the slave-driving aristocracy, and disfian-
chised her colored citizens, since 1887; while
the unequal representation in the State Lc-
gislature, by which the scattering white
chivalry on the Eastern Shore counties,
WELD the whole power of the State, is not
paralelled in any State ''North Of the Poto-
mac" or elsewhere, except Delaware. No
such outrageous system exists in any North
ern State, and gentlemen from other por.
tions Of the country are astonshed at the
evidences of oppressive and unequal power
shown to the Judiciary Committee. II
Pennsylvania, the Legislature is carefully re-
apportioned every seven years, in order tc
give perfect equality of representation,

The returns from recent elections in VAR
ious quarters added TO the magnificent vic
tory in Virginia, show that the Republicans
spirit only needs little rousing to sweep
away the temporary Democratic success like
chaff
In Dakota, the election took place 0cto-
Der Sth, and resulted in favor of the Repub-
licans, who elected majority of the Terri
torial Legislature. Last year the Democrats
carried the Territorial Legislature. Dakota
elects two Delegates to Congress, as the
people about Fort Laramie want a new Ter
ritorial Government.
Every county in Nebraska, so far as heard
from, has been carried by the Republicans
Douglas, Otoe, Platte, Cumming and Dako-
tn. The Democrats last year had majoritics
in every one.
Returns from 81 Counties in Iowa,
show Republican majority of 2G,92o fol
Governor. There are about dozen thinly
peopled Counties to hear from, which will
somewhat increase these figures. The Re
publican majority for Governor, two year.
ago was only 1928, showing an increase OF
about eleven thousand

The fine weather of autumn is over Now
let us begin to growl.
The y. Y. Tribune suggests that Pollard be
engaged to write the customary campaign life
of the next Democratic candidate for the Prcsi-

view of the success of his former history of

Last June,a correspondent Of the COMMERCIAL,
nominated for President, General Grant, and for
Vice President, Hon. Vim. d. Kelley, Of Penn
sylvania In referring to the latter, it was said
that Judge Kelley stands as the champion of true
Republican Theories, Protection to American
Workmcu, The Dignity Of Labor, Rcgeneraed
South, and that he is the most popular Republic
can in AL the rcconstructing States.
response to these suggestions already comes
from the South. Mr.. Kuifer, Chairman OF the
Republican State Convention of Alabama, reports
that there is strong feeling among the Repub-
licans OF the Gulf States in behalf Of Judge Kel-
ley, for Vice President, and it is highly probable
that their wishes will have no little influence in
moulding the result The Judge will be equally
popular in Pennsylvania, and With many Of tho
Western people. No more earnest and true
Republican can be found than he.

THERE IS GOOD DEAL of complaint from
various journalistic sources that the great
Mogul OF Republican newspapers, the n. Y.
tribune, interferes and plays mischief in
the politics of other States than its own
There is particular bitterness in Pennsyl-
vania over an article which the tribune
printed before the election, in reference to
Sharswood and Williams, and which they
charge demoralized the Republican ranks to
the advantage of the enemy. Connecticut
complained last Spring, and we observe a
Baltimore paper decidedly severe in its
charges that the Tribune is unjust to the
Republicans of Maryland. Some weeks ago,
the Trenton and Newark papers were cx-
ceedingly angry over full report in the
same journal OF the proceedings, discussions,
&C, OF private meeting of the New Jersey
State Committee.
All tins only points to one conclusion. The
fact is that some of the Tribune editors. who
attempt to discuss the political situation in
other States, are not sufficiently well m
formed, for the work. AS for the Border
States, very few Northern newspapers seem
to comprehend us, or our politics, at all, and
ifthey attempt discussion of either, perform
1t in style which thoroughly exposes theil
ignorance They describe Maryland or Ken.
lucky as they would Borriobhoola Cha, and
know as much OF one as the other.
We are not going to pitch into the Tri-
Dune; we shall leave that for our more irate
neighbors, But we do suggest to all news
papers of its class, occupying leading posi-
tion,to be exceedingly careful how they give
authoritative decisions on the duties of other
people, and to be sure that they know what
they are talking about, when they ATTEMPT
to discuss politics outside of New York CITY.
Conceit is always unpleasant, but conceited
ignorance especially SO.

Virginia.

In Virginia, the rcgistries, when compile
ted, showed White majority of 10000 le-
gal voters so that the Whites had abso-
lutte power TO vote down CGnyentien had
they seen fit. II has been objected that the
districts in WHICH the Black voters were a
majority were entitled to 6lect a majority of
the Convention but this could not we'll be
helped, because considerable number of
Counties have eight or nine Whites to one
Black, leaving two-t thirds OF the State almost
equally divided between Whites and Blacks,
so that the Acknowledgement Of five or six
thousand leading Rebels left the Blacks in a
majority The facts that the Whites might
have defeated Convention by 2O,000 ma
ior,ty, and may still defeat the Constitution
when presented for ratification, cannot be
disputed.
The election has been held. No register
ed White has been in any manner prevent

Jrowbeaten because he saw fit TO vote
against the Blacks. In a very few instan
