with n Chicago "Love Bureaa."
We clip the following recital Of mar
ried infelicity attending a Chicago hus-
band, from the Dewitt Towa) 0bserrer
of the oath ult.: ,Ese
If is a fact not generally known; per-
haps, but it is said to be fact, never
theless, thai there is sort OF center
prise" carried on by set of bawdy
character in Chicago, the ostensible OBJ,
iect of which is to tell fortunes, and
furnish men and women with life part
ners for and in consideration of a stipu-
lated sum. This branch of business is
carried on under the suggestive title OF
"Love Bureau" and by compliance with
directions. and advancing the requisite
sum of money, a man may soon be en-
shriDed in the affections of blushing
bride, and have loving one to lessen
his cares, and share his SORROWS through
life-or, at least, the Bureau" Will
furnish the other half, and that should
secure to him all the rest. Well, a
gentleman of our town became ac-
Quainted with this labor-saving aud
time-shortening process of securing. a
helpmate, and being thus minded, he
forthwith forwarded fifty dollars, had
his fortune told, was informed that at q
particular time he was providentially
to meet in the city of Chicago, at
stated place, woman bearing the de-
scriptiOn then given, and, we believe,
a picture of the would-be bride was also
sent. Upon the approach OF the time
designated, the buoyant gent dropped
his tools-for be is an honest, indus
trious German stone-masOn and plaster
er of our town-and went hither to the
predestined meeting of his blooming
from. Arriving at the place named, he
found the woman answering the de-
scriptionin every particular, and but
short time elapsed, and they were wrap
ped in silken cords of love and spliced
in hymenial pledges. The two being
made one, came together to Dewitt, ar
irving on last Monday nights train,
and all won't on swimmingly and in
good style for time, but when Friday
night came, there came with it sense
of loneliness to poor Hans; but, suppos-
ing his wife was being legitimately de-
tanned from his side, he retired to his
lonely but virtuOus couch, and only
learned in the morning the true reason
of her absence. She had taken the
evening train and gone back to Chica-
go, probably having ali engagement for
another spouse about that time, taking
a large number of things that she had
received at the hands of her husband,
and greatly improved i'll her dress.

Weakness Of the Radical Policy

There arc few well-informed persons
who have perfect confidence in the final
success of The Radical policy of recon-
Struction. II is apparently devoid OF
any fixed principles; it has no possible
connection with Republican govern
ment: It's only object is Radical success.
Guarantee this, and Radicalism will en-
franchise every rebel in the South; i'm
peril its welfare, and Radicalism will
disfranchise the most loyal" in order
20 make success certain.
The Nashville correspondent of the
Cincinnati commercial, referring to the
recent Tennessee election, says:
The best Union men in the State,
those, TOO. who had been loyal through
the whole long night of the rebellion,
were denied registration certificates,
while Swarus of the most rampant
rebels that ever disgraced the nation,
or murdered UniOr men in cold blood,
were made voters on condition of cast
ing their ballots for BrOwnlow.
q is this sacrifice of principle to ex-
pcdiency, this readiness to shake hands
with treason and ostracise ''loyalty"
in order to triumph that makes Radi-
.alism weak and Enthusiastically.
Aside from its willingness to sacrifice
honor, consistency, truth, everything
upon the altar of expediency, there are
other elements of weakness in Southern
Radicalism, which must ultimately
destroy it. The Horld thus enumsrates
them:
The reasons why it cannot succeed
are obvilu 1t will, first, be a govern
ment of ignorance, and the success of
republican institutions rests upon edu-
cation and intelligence. 1t win, sec
oudly, be the government of minority,
and the prepOnderance of physical
strength being on the side of the beaten
party, the new State governments will
never DO able to stand alone. 1t will
be, thirdly, government founded on
the domination of race over race, the
weaker and less capable race over the
stronger, and will therefore deepen and
intensity the prejudices of race. and
keep up constantly accumulating fund
of mutual animosity

The Lesson OF Tennessee.

The Republican newspapers affect to
see great deal of significance in the
recent Tennessee election. They point
TO it as the first Radical triumph in the
lately rebellious States, and talk good
deal about "progress" and all that sort
of thing. Some of them make ostenta-
lions comparisons between present po-
litical results in Tennessee aud the
state of affairs that prevailed before
and during the war, and make the con-
trast source of vast comfort and con-
graduation to Rsdicalism.
We are not prompted by partisan
feeling to say that the election ol
BRowNLow argues nothing as to the
spread of Radical principles. Such re-
suits can always be attained if the
proper means be adopted. Disfranchise
one side, and the other will carry the
election, at least such has been our ex-
perience in West Virginia.
The New York Times says: g
"The triumph of the Brownlow fac
tion proves only the success with which

New YORK, August 6.-The Tribune's
cable special from Florence, August s.
says Garibaldi has come to the conclu,
sion that, considering all circumstances
it is best to abandon for the present the
movement against Rome.
Volunteers, which had began to col
lect from all parts of Italy, and which
had already invaded the papal territory
at various places, will disperse, but the
movement will be pursued with great
activity. Garibaldi himself expressed
firm belief in the success Of the next
movement. ,.' -*aN r73

MILITARY ORDERs.-Tbe Cincinnati
Gazette thus indirectly assails General
Grant:
"The Office Of Secretary Of War is n
civil Office. The acting President has no
more power 20 order an officer of the army
TO take it than he has to order him to take
the Office of Secretary of the Treasury, or
to fill vacancy on the bench of the Su-
preme Court An officer of the army mar
consent to hold tie office of Secretary of
War, although there " ,uld be an impropri-
ETY. in his continuing long to hold two Of
fees and Its emoluments; but he is not
obliged to obey an order to take such an
Office. His duty as a military subordinate
is 20 obey legal orders within the line Of
military duty. An order from the COM
mandcr in chief to the General Of the ar
my to take the Office of Secretary of War,
would be just as illegal as an order to him
to take the office of Postmaster General or
the Pension Bureau. Nor would an order
to a military officer to accompany the act
ing President on stumping tour be legal
or binding. Mr. johnson would not be so
fool sh as to subject himself to the chance
of rebuff upon such illegal orders, and
he has not issued them. These personal
Offices are wholly voluntary.

affect the next elections" In the New
York Heralc's recently published account
of long interview with Thad. Stevens at
Lancaster, the latter, in explaining why he
was finally induced to accept the Sherman
reconstruction bill, is quoted as follows:
"Some men had their wives at Washing
ton and their women at home, and other
men had their women at Washington and
their wives at home, and it was impossible
to keep them together. The bill was not
all we wanted, but it was all we could get,
and SO We passed it,
Mack, the we'll known correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, boldly makes
the following charges, which he stands
ready to substantate
at can be shown that members of Con-
gress own stock in the street railroads Of
Washington for which they never paid a
cent or rendered any other return than
than their votes for the acts of incorpora-
ton, and their subsequent acts to author
ize the increase of fare from five to seven
cents.
at can be shown that the two Houses
have been, time and again, Influenced by
the paltry consideration of free passes, in
their votes upon matters affecting the great
est railroad monopolies in the country.
at eau be proven that members of Con-
gress have appeared in their seats as the
attorneys for railroad corporations.
at can be proven that members OF the
two Houses were directly bribcd for their
votes on the whisky tax two years ago.
''It can be proven that Senators positive
ly agreed to confirm Mr. Cowan as Minis
ter to Austria last winter, if he would get
Mr.. johnson to appoint their relatives to
Office
"All these things and a hundred more,
can be proven to the satisfaction, if not OF
Congress, at least of the country, if the
opportunity is but presented"
The man who makes these charges is a
Republican, and the paper which print.
them is Republican. The men charged
with corruption are the immaculate patri
OTIS who sacrifice themselves upon the altar
Of their country by consenting to serve in
Congress that the government may be kept
out of the hands Of "copperheads, and
propose to turn the President out of office
