Obituary.

We hardly know whether pleasantly
or pathos predominates in this clever
iea Fesprit, from the Nashville Ga
cite: ...e '# A.-
DIEp.-In Washington City District of Co
lumbia on Monday, May 13, 1867, Of paralysis,
Columbia Liberty, after a severe and protracted
illness of seven tedious years. r-
The deceased was born in ITO of a
poor but respectable couple-Honesty
and Patriotism. The first seven years
of her life were struggle with misery,
even as were the closing seven. But
she grew up beautiful lass, and made
her entree into society in 1877, winning
the admiration of friends and the jeal-
ousy of rivals. At an early age she
| formed a tender attachment for Princi-
pie. A happy union followed, and In
the course OF events numerous Off
spring rose up to bless her. The duties
of maternity, however, did not detract
! from her beauty, and Us she advanced
in wears she seemed to increase in lowell
ness. Devoting herself exclusively to
the care of her numerous family, and
sure of the ever-enduring love OF hor
spouse, the future lay before her bright
as the vision of beatitude.
But alas for human frailty. In an evil
hour, elderly matron though she was,
she listened to the honeyed words of an
unprincipled young fellow named Radi-
calism, not vet out of his teens. She re-
sisted his advances for while, but in
November, 1860, lost to all sense Of wo-
manly dignity. she abandoned the part
ner of her youth, and took up 9TH this
Young scape-grace. This. .fdur pas Great
ed n lamentable disturbance in her PIE
viously happy family. Eleven of her
most loving children refused to live
with their young step-iather, and
sought for themselves other homes. For
this piece of contumacy the wicked
step-father disinherited ten OF them,
and dragging the eleventh back to the
old homestead, he inflicted on her un-
told barbarities and outrages. The
door old mother, heart-broken by the
disgrace of her household, was struck
with paralysis, and fas been bedridden
for several years. The physicians VII
attended her were chosen by her unprin-
cipled husband; and the public opinion
is, that they were employed to kill in
stead of cure, as the old lady was all
obstacle to his ambitious designs on her
property and that of the children. Last
Monday. after unheard of suffering and
anguish, she breathed her last.

laws; nevertheless they legislate for
our government. We find the Governor
of the State sharing the proceeds of an
act by which the treasury is plnndered,
and using his place for the commission
of unnumbered deeds of wrong; never
theless he is tolerated. So long as such
men are not compelled by the force of
public opinion to retire to the privacy
they deserve, their immunity will
tempt Others to crime. If scoundrels
are allowed to disgrace our public
places, their example will be felt upon
those in private life. If too charita-
BILE public sentiment palliates OF excuses
vice because of the station OF talent of
the vicious, the effect will be to increase
the rascals and multiply their rascal
tiles.

hood of his crime. Bysom was inform
ed of his presence and started at once in
pursuit. He came upon the betrayer OF
his sisters honor at blacksmith shop,
where he was having his horse shod.
The unfortunate, but guilty man was
about mounting, when Bysom fired six
successive shots from a Colts navy,

body, lifted it to the forge,and but for

and was recalled by the firing, would

ever, without interference, no one but

being present, and rode away, since
which time he has not been heard of.

A COOPERATIVE HOUsEBUILDING
SOCIETY IN ST. LOUISA Working
mems Cooperative Building Society
was formed in st, Louis IN 1859, but
the war caused a temporary abandon
-ment of the enterprise. Recently a
new company have taken it up, pro-
cured some advantageous notifications
Of the charter, and viii soon be ready
to begin work. The plan Is simple.
Each of the five hundred stockholders
pays ten dollars down and ten dollars
a month until the object of the assocI-
alton Is fully attained, which will be,
it Is thought, in about eight years. In
return each stOckholder will receive a
fee-simpIe to a house and lot worth
two thousand dollars or more, IN pro-
portion to the number Of shares be
owns. After getting possession of his
house the stockhOlder pays the com
pauy ten per cent on its cost, and con-
tinues to pay his monthly instalment
of ten dollars until each stockholdeI
is similarly supplied. The principle
of 81 first come, first served will be i'm
partially applied. Each stoekholdeT'
wishes with regard TO the situation OF
his lot and the arrangement of his
house viii be followed as far as posi-
ble After all the stockholders are
housed there viii be a balance in the
treasury. This will be divided among
them according to the number Of
shares held by each.

wants true man for its next President
"A man Of character, dignity and
statesmanship, and true beyond s per-
adventure or the shadow Of doubt to
the great underlying principles Of our
government 1t wants q man in whose
hands the great Executive power Of this
nation can be placed with the utmost
confidence that it viii not be used to
barter away. sacrifice or compromise in
the least degree the great results Of the
war.
To give the nation such n President is
the special mission Of the Republican
party. By all its previous declarations
by all the experience Of the past and
all the hopes of the future it stands
charged before the world with the
sacred dU1y Of seeing 70 il, 50 far as in
its power, that the next President is
pledged beyond doubt both TO the theory
and practice Of the great fundamental
principle Of Republican liberty that
".AU men are created equal, that they

these are life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness that to secure these rights
governments are instituted among men

our candidate should stand firmly and
unequivOcally upon the great doctrine
Of equal rights for all, and the security
Of the results OF the war by the appli-
cation of that principle in the exeeu-
tive administration Of the government.

TIE USES OF PARTK.


We are not among those who regard
party as an end. We consider it only
a means. For mere party triumph we
do not care a piokayune. When party
degeuerates into machine devoted to
the pitiabIe uses of scrambIing for
place, it becomes the personal property
ofoandidates, with which we have little
concern.
What then makes party organization
worth preserving and party triumph
worth fighting for? We answer, p7-ial-
cipye and principle alone. This is the
end; party is only the means. And
when it ceases to be a means conducting
to such an end, when it ceases to strug-
gle for the great interests OF humanity,
when it degenerates into a means of
mere personal aggrandizement it is no
longer worthy of consideration. A par
ty which has accomplished its mission
is of no more value than last years
I birds nest, and one which abandons it
is simply contemplate.
It may be readily inferred that we
/ are not in favor of selling out the prin-
/ ciples Of the Republican party for mere
/ Iexpediency or any other consideration.
| So far as expedienoy means the heemphat-
/ ic choice and preference of large mass
/ of the people we believe it should al
way be attentively considered in a
choice Of candidates OF the same politi-
cal faith. But to make principles sim
| ply TO suit candidates and cater to
| availability is a gigantic wrong, and
any party that perpetrates it deserves

AS to our personal choice Of eandi-
date for the Presidency, it Is not Of suf-
fcieut Importance to be made known.
Nor is any mans mere personal claims
for the nomination Of sufficient weight
to be a moment considered. The nation

The government Of New tOEk City is
shining example OF the honesty and
economy Of Democratic administration.
A short time since the fact was exposed
that the City Chamberlain cheated the
corporation out of the slight sum Of
s2O0. 600 PEI annum. We say the fact
was exposed Though not with the hope
indemnifying the city, but only, as one
of the city journals remarked, in the
hone that the other sharks might be put
on track of the swindler with a view Of
making him divide the spoils. The
Citizens Association have now develop
ed the fact that Mr.. O'Gorman, the cor
poration counsel, has drawn for his de-
partment during 20 months, Sl52.9T4
from the public treasury. OF this O'GOr-
man poeketed for his own services S33,-

fessi6naI brethren for "extra counsel
fees and clerk hire,'' and used up s., $50,
for "other purposes" During O'Gor-
mans term of office Judgements have
been obtained agojaSt the city amount
ing to S474. $50, of which judgements the
Citizen's Association af1rms that200,0 600
were obtained in defiance Of law and
should have been reversed on appeal,
