THE New York DAY-BooK enters upon the
threshold Of 1867 scuh a larger circuIa tion
thon that of any Democratic paper published in
ths toorM and that circulation is steadily in
creasing and extending in every direction
1t has never been the organ Of mere party
Democracy, but rather the exponent of
those liberal principles Of human Govern
ment which our fOrefathers wrung, with
bloody sweat from the tyrants of l77s.-
Standing on the foundation Of the Declara-
tion Of Independence, that "all (,Ohite) men
are created equal" and therefore entitled to
equal rights, it is opposed to.all forms and
degrees Of special legislation that con9ic
With this grand Central TRUTH Of Democra-
cy, and over all, and above all, does 1t COM
bat that uonstroas treason to American
liberty, which, thrusting the negro element
into our political system, must Of necessity
wreck the whole mighty fabric lett US by our
fathers. God has created white men superb
or, and negroes inferior, and therefore all the
efforts Of the past five years to abolish dis
work, and equalize with ,negrOes-eVery law
violated, every State Constitution over
thrown, every life sacrificed, and every dol
lar extended, are necessarily just so many
steps toward national suicide /; and the sim
pie and awful problem now upon US is just
'this-shall we recover our reason and re-
trace our steps, or march on to MOngrelism:
social anarchy, and the total ruin Of our
country ~
THE DAY.BooK, therefore demands the

Bile under heaven for g&ving the grand ideas
Of l716, the fundamental principles of Amer

During the sitting Of a court in
Connecticut, not long ago, on n very
cold evening, a crowd of lawyers col
lcctcd round the open fire that blazcd
chccrfully on the hearth in the bar
room, when a traveller entered be-
numbcd with cold but no one NOV
ed to give him room to warm his
shins, SO he leaned against the wall
in the back part of the room.
Presently a smart limb of the law
addressed him, and the following d.
alogue took place:
"You look like n traveller"
"Wall, suppose ! am; ] came al
the way from Wisconsin aioot at an,

"From Wisconsin? What dis

A Coop DAY FOR KILLING
Shreveport, Louisiana, must be a
great place to live in. The South
mesien, a paper published there,
under the head Of a Good Day for
Killing" says:
Last Thursday was a good day for
"shuflling OH this mortal coil' in
this city. Early in the morning
worthy young man, clerking in a
store at MugginsviIle, accidentally
dropped his revolver, which caused
il to go of, shooting him through the
body, causing instant death. Later
in the day a freedman and his son
got into a quarrel about a mule,
which resulted in the son shooting
his father through the head, killing
him instantly. Late that night a
gambler, called Banco, stabbed to the
heart man named Turner, at a ball
given by the nymphs du pare on the
corner Of Edward and Texas streets
Turner fingered a day or two and
expired.

A traveller once arrived at a vii
lagc inn after hard days travel,
and being very tired, requested a
room to sleep in, but the landlord
said they were entirely full, and that
il was utterly impossible to accom-
modate him; that his wife had to
sleep ON the sofa and himself on the
floor; but he would see what his wife
could do for him. The woman, on
being applied to, said there was a
room he might occupy provided he
would agree to the conditions, to-wit I;
to enter the room late in the dark,
aud leave il early in the morning, to
prevent scandal, as the rom was oc-
cupicd by lady. This he agreed TO.
About two o'clock in the morning an
awful noise was heard in the house,
and our friend the traveller, was heard
tumbling down stairs. The land
lord, on arriving at the spot, inquir-

Music in every shape is thus elo-

regard music as combining in
happiest proportions instruction aud
pleasure as standing at the head of
the home evening ejoyments. What
a never-failing resource have those
homes which God has blessed with
the gift? How many pleasant fairy
circles gather nightly about the
piano! How many home is vocal
with the voice of song or psalm! In
other times the fathers violled the
domestic harmony, and sons, with
clarionet or flute, or manly voice.
