The LEGISLATURE.

That copperhead papers should origi-
nate all kinds of charges against republi-
can legislatures is not a matter of surprise,
as it is part of their vocation, but that
republican editors should persist in ridic-
ulous assumptions because, fOrsooth. then
could not accomplish all they wanted. is
going a little too far and saying too much.
we have never known legislature that
pleased everybody in its acts, and we can
not find one-tenth as muclr fault either in
the present or preceding assembly as some
OF our contemporaries. On the contrary a
large number of wise and iudicious laws
have been passed-the taxpayers relieved
from heavy burdens of State taxation
ana most liberal provisions made for SOL
ulers' orphan children. Less monopoIies
nave also been created than ia former
years temperance obtained a boon il had
In vain sought from former legislatures
py giving discretionary power 10 iudgeo
over licenses, and a disposition was man
liested III many other things To nrefar
right to wrong. All the stories got up
about increasing their pay, about bribery
and many other charges at which -aisan-
pointed politicians and copperheads snap
ike hungry dogs at a bone, even if if is
putrid, are either totally false or pervert-
ed to suit the appetites of those who would
worship JEFF Davis as readily as Heistar
Clymer or Andrew Johnson to secnre op

Though our tears fell fast and faster,
Yet we would not call her back;
We are glad her feet no longer,
Tread life's rough and thorny track.
We are glad our heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure;
We are glad he did not leave her
All life's troubles to endure.
We are glad, and yet the tear drop
Falleth, for, alas, we know
That our fireside will be lonely,
We shall miss our darling so.

The New York Commercial reports a

The New York Commercial reports q
marked Improvement in the trade Of
that city during the past week. Mer-
chandise generally is in more demand,
and jobbers who had anticipated hsv-
ing to carry over a heavy balance Of
their seasons stocks are now again free
BUYERS from the commission houses. One
prominent cause of this improvement is
doubtless the heavy decline in prices,
which removes one of the greatest OBJ
stacles to buying operations during the
early part of the season. Goods are now
SO far cheapened that retailers can buy
with the expectation of being able to in
duce purchases by the low prices ut
which they can offer their goods.
The handsome returns to the farming
population from the sales of their large
crops at high prices must also have an
important effect In inducing demand
from that class of consumers, while the
cessation of yellow fever in the South
is bringing into the market many bny-
ers from that section, who have hitherto
been kept at home by the sickness.
Upon the whole, there is reason for hop
ing that the year viii close with a
healthier business than has been gener-
ally anticipated. : 5iSallz t51.

A GIRL, aged about eighteen years, of
of rather more than ordinary good looks,
was brought into the station house, in
Buffalo, Saturday night, while suffering
from terrible attack of delirium tire
mems. A physician was called in and
morphine administered to the unfortu
nate creature throughout the entire
night. Sunday morning hopes were en-
tertained that she would recover.
She is said to have been raised at or
near Dauville, and losing her parents,
came to Buffalo about six months since
on a canal boat. Being beguiled from
the path of virtue, she was arrested for
disorderly conduct and sent to the
work house for three months by the po-
lice justice.
Having served out her time at the
work house on Friday. the 1st inst, and
having no friends or home to go to, she
resumed her abode in one of the dens OF
the city, where, making too free use OF
the poison sold in that locality for
whisky, to drown her sorrows, she was
brought to the station rs stated above, a
ravihg maniac.

Radical Catch words.

The day of Radical catchwor1s is
about over. The late elections have
shown their inability 20 divert popular
attention from the vital issues Of the
times Heretofore in order to carry an
election in any State, the Radicals had
only to cry rebel" or TRAITOR" or
"butternut," and Immediately the gate
ways Of success opened at the magic
word. OF late these words have lost
their power. HAssAURAK proposed to
carry Ohio 10y fifty thousandl majority
simply by shouting "PENDLEToN, THUR
MAN aud VALLANDIGHAM." The shout
Ing was done but somehow the majority
failed TO respond.
So in other States where principles
were ignored, and treason and Ere
bellion" were made the rallying cry.
While the Radicals talked "rebel" the
Democrats talked niger and taxes, and
the people preferred live issues to dead
ones. The Radical record being placed
before them they, for the first time, ex-
amined it and when their verdict was an
nounced, il was found that they pre-
ferred "rebel rule" as it was called, to
Radical robbery and ruin.
STbe Cincinnati Commercial understood
the case and advised the Radical cham
pions that a little less bluster and q
little more common sense would have q
salutary effect. But they needed none
of its counsels. BEN. WADE continued
TO howl. LOGAN persisted in his war
dance and scalping knife oratory.
Other speakers and journals of the same
stripe re-echoed their anathemas against
the cOpperheads, and the butternuts
and all that sort of clap-trap, so that
The people were fully posted upon the
alleged wickedness and crimes of their
opponents. Unhappily for Radicalism,
they heard but failed to feel. War talk
didn't suit peace times, and the people
turned from the party of the past to
join hands with the party of the present.
If the experience of one State could
teach wisdom TO the people of another,
one would think that West Virginia
Radicals ought to learn from Ohio. But
1t is not so. 1t is said that among the
greatest fools are khsse Who learn moth
Ing from the experience of their neigh
bors. Certainly West Virginia Radicals
are establishing their right to rank with
this class. After all their eyes have
seen and their ears heard, they
adhere to their old catehword policy
with the tenaciLy Of the historic stu
pidity that learns nothing and forgets
nothing. All over the State they are
grinding out the same old strains, as il
universal disaster had not proclaimed
that "old things have passed away
The are singing the songs that belong
to the carnival of passion, while the oc-
ession demands the calmer notes Of an
era of peace. While We almost pity
their folly We cannot help enjoying the
fun.

wednesday Morning.. November 30.
Thanksgiving Dny.

The President of the United States
has set apart Thursday, 2Sth inst, as q
day of general Thanksgiving. Many of
,ba Governors of the different States
have ioined with him in recommending
the Observance of that day. We are
Glad TO see that our illustrious "Chief
Magistrate" does not deem the occa-
sion unworthy the respect of our people.
Men of his class are generally alike in
their politics and their religion, totally
regardless of everything that does not
specially advance their partisan inter-
ests. 1t is gratifying to note that not
withstanding the Affections which have
lstsly been visited upon him and his,
he is not disposed to be spiteful.
Mr.. FOREMAN is understood TO hold
that the Republican party have had lit
tie to be grateful for during the present
wear. He determines, however, to fol-
low the Democratic precedent and
thank God that things are no verse.
He prefers not TO make an open issue
with Providence, and withhold all
gratitude until the late elections arc
satisfactorily explained.
Hereafter, however, lie will expect
things to be ordered differently. Gov
egnor PiERPoIST has iInpiously an
annnccd that "the Saviour OF mankind
was d Radical" and Radical authorities
will certainly expect the Deity to walk
the path of their prescribing. To no
purpose does the pulpit preach stump
speeches ut Providence if Democratic
victories are to occur right in the face of
Heaven. The Governors enumeration
of blessings for which we are to give
thanks is quite limited as compared
with similar deliverances in years of
greater Radical prosperity. Hisprocla-
nation inay fairly he taken as hint
that next year must be an improve
mpnt on the present. FOREMAN clearly
expects an 9tOnement for recent
Radical disasters, and unless his
wishes are respected, may insist upon
his displeasure with the
divine economy that rules the move
meuts of this neither world.

English Childran.

An English seaside correspondent Of
the New York Times, says: The glory of
this seaside gathering, as of all that |
have seen in England, is the children
the children and the girls. The large
boys are mostly at school. Their sisters
come down to the sea. The feminine
element preponderates in the ratio OF
five to one. Saturday nights train brings
down a certain number Of husbands,
brothers and so on, who come to spend
Sunday, with return ticket for
Monday morning. But the fine young
misses who bravely bathe every
morning, and fling the wondrous wealth
of their back hair to the breezes to
be dried, have the beach to themselves
during the week; and very brave and
beautiful they are, with the clear open
eyes Of innocence, aud the full round
forms of glowing health. Never was seen
so little of coquetry. There ia simple
unconsciousness of honesty in British
girls delightful to behold The girl of
eighteen is only the happy expansion of
her sister of nine, and the robust, gleeful,
infantile children are perfect JOY to
see. Neither the children nor the young
ladies have, but very rarely, the delicate
and exquisite beauty so common in
America They are Of a more robust
type. They can walk ten or twenty miles
OF morning, and have limbs made for
such exercises. They live in the open
air the year round. They are not afraid
of cold or wet. They have, however, the
beauty of well formed, active, simple
hearted, brave girls, who will make good
wives and mothers, and whose looks and
actions show that they have no nonsense
about them. And whatever may be
thought of Englishmen or Englishwomen,
in their full expansion Of maturity, there
can be no doubt of the beauty of their
children. None admire them more than
our American visitors. They are never
tired of looking at the groups of four or
six children, with their mothers and
nurses, digging for dear life in the sands,
sailing their little boats in every puddle,
or covering each other in the pebhly
banks of flint thrown into winrows by
the recent tides.

Doctors Of Laws.

The New York Nation is severe on
the existing system of conierrlng col
legiate degrees, and cites some very
interesting modern instances of NAL
practice in that relation. 1t says:
Two years ago General Grant, on his
way to Canada, happened to take com
mencement dinEer in town down east,
and came away LII D. General Meade,
on his return from a wedding, visited
Cambridge, and bore away the same
Diploma. General Howard left the
FreedmeAs Bureau to visit his home,
and the nearest college christened him
Doctor of Laws. General Terry, on the
other hand, came out Il simple Master OF
Arts at New Haven, on the principle
that a prophet is not without honor, save
in his own country. A few years before
professor of Greek found himself pro-
claimed, at Cambridge, a Doctor of Di-
vinity, when he had not even been or
dained as Minister Bismarck is an
nounced as having just been made Doc
tor of Philosophy in one Of the German
universities. Geo. Peabody is Doctor of
Civil Law at Oxford. The newly arrived
Greoian Minister has turned up LII. D.
at New Haven. How many of the cor
poration could tell his name2 So it
goes, year after year. Take the lists Of
any respectable college, and see whom
they have honored aud whom they have
not. One hours scrutiny would be suf-
fieient to show that the whole system, as
at present maintained, is full of fraud
toward the public, unfairness toward
men OF letters, and dishonor to the name
Of learning and the though of aca demie
hOnor
