Temperate Words and CounseI..

The NeU York Journal of Commerce says,
with truth, that now is the time to bear ir
mind that words are things as substantial
and palpable in their effects as though they
could be weighed and measured" When
the passions OF men are infiamed, exasper-
ating epithets applied towards masses of
of men are like sparks scattered through
the air over magazines of gunpowder.
The late war was hurried on by the war of
words which ragged between the mouth
pieces of the two sections, and yet, with
this impressive admonition that abusive
language may lead to a breach of the peace
among communities as well as individuals,
we find the organs of opposing factions
daily engaged in hurling about firebrands,
arrows and death, in the shape of the most
sweeping and insulting denunciation, and
even talking as glibly of an appeal to arms
as if it were a mere holiday pastime, and
as If there were not already bereaved
households and bloody graves enough in
the land. Now, if ever. ought every one
interested in peace, either for his country
or his own household, to remember
that "self-control is incumbent up
on citizen in his relations to the
whole nation as much as in his
relations to his immediate neighbors.-
1t is the inevitable tendency OF hard words
to bring about hard blows" If masses of
men cannot differ in this country politi-
cally without being stigmatized as enemies
of liberty, or traitors, what intelligent con-
ception of liberty does the party that talks
thus, exhibit? The freedom that one pHr-
ty claims for the expression of its own
opinions it must accord to those who diff
fer from it, and there is no more propriety
or sense in abusive words on account of
political differences than there is in en-
! ploying the same instrumentalities in dis
cussing any other subject on which man.
kind do not agree. If we could but i'm
press these facts upon the Radical press,
these discussions would be confined to
principle-the hard words would be given
in the shape of the solid arguments by
which either party supported his position.
But this we fear cannot be the case. AS if
the whole argument by which their re-
cons truction and other schemes are SUP
ported, was ''copperhead," "butternut,"
s.traitor," these terms are used by men,
who seek to have the world believe them
gentlemen, yet who show, by their intem-
perate language, their resort to offensive
epithets, and by charges of the high crime
| of fealty and love to the Union and fidelity
to the Constitution, against men whose
whole lives have been one continued scene
of unfaltering, answering devotion to both
that they lack argument to support their
positions or else brains to comprehend
| them

GALVESTON, in Texas, has recently been

AT SEBAsToPoL, the English burial
grounds of soldiers that fell during the
Crimean war extend over forty miles of
country, and are 40 in number, but are
falling into decay. The graveyards are
said to be so overrun with weeds and
brambles that many tombs are no longer
visible. They are under the superinten-

there is a general demand in the British
papers that they shall be better taken care

THE Tennessee RAIDS, much 'against the
grain" have been compelled to bow to the
negro elephant. The darkies, after the
defeat of the negro Napier for the
place of door-keeper, demanded that
James Summer, another of their race,
should be elected to the place of
assistant door-keeper, or there would be
trouble. Finding there was no help for it,
they accordingly elected Mr.. Summer, over
two white men, and that sable gentleman
is 'sin clover"

but the Secretary of War has been pre-

IT is pleasing to know that the votes
taken on railroad trains in Ohio several
days ago, looked highly favorable to the
election of Gen. Hayes. So says the De-
troit Tribune. A careful examination of
the election returns convinces us that the
Republicans of the State were mostly on
railroad trains, and that they got too far
away from home to return in time to vote.
We thank them, however, for their mani
festation of interest.-Toledo Blade.

the Democracy are always beat. That is
