he invokes pardon for I'll the wrong he has

proving that there was no method in it.
The harmless man never accused the Presi-
dent in public of being concerned in the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln but he has re-
peatedy said in private conversation that he
was convinced oft. He never publicly al
luded to his belief that Harrison and TAYLOR
were foully taken off; but privately he has
spread his conviction to the same effect all
over the country. He has not dragged into

Irish and Dutch Stuff.

The stuff that democratic voters are made
of is arriving by ship loads at New York.
Every day or two we read in the telegraphic
dispatches some such paragraph as this:
1.-TWO thousand seven hundred and seventy
five emigrants arrived yesterday"
1t is impossible to say how many of these
will have their naturalization papers made
out free of charge, and to be used to propel
democratic ballots at the coming election
Jackson Citizen.
We remember, during the late war, when
the cowardly radicals were anxiously search
ing for $500 substitutes to take their places
in the army, that this same Dutch and Irish
stuff was welcomed to our shores with
open arms. Indeed these same radical COW
ards were so anxious to secure substitutes,
that in Boston, New York and other places,
they formed associations, contributed money,
and sent special agents to Europe to recruit
and bring over for their use, this same ''Dutch
and Irish stuff" Things have changed since
then. Having no further use for their bodies,
and knowing they cannot control their minds,
they now Indignantly spurn them aside, and
appeal to the negro for a little longer lease
of power whereby they can continue to rob
that government which, under democratic
rule, has ever been the asylum for oppressed

Israelitish Soldiers Cemetery a. Chattanooga

"The Israelites of Chattanooga have pur-
chased grounds for a cemetery in fine loca
ton at that place, and" says the Occident
Jewish monthly magazine, published in
Philadelphia, shave resolved to disinter the
bodies of Israelitish soldiers who fell during
the fearful struggles around that place on
both sides in the late deplorable civil war"
The magazine, with mournful significance,
adds, in relation to the dead, what ought
to pertain as well to the differentiation and
tenderness of the survivors of that terrible
contest political prejudices, We are glad to
observe" says the editor, ''are entirely ignor.
ed, and those who we're not personal enc
mics, but merely driven to slaughter each
other by the folly and madness of rulers, will
sleep side by side in undisturbed rest, await
ing the resurrection" The living soldiers,
as they pass to their last long resting place,
will doubtless sleep in like peace, however
the madness of designing wicked men may
foster and not assuage among them, while
living, the engendered animoities which rea-
son and our benign religion alike condemn.
