GREELEY ON THE NIGHT PRowLERs.--
Horace Greeley thus pitches into that
purely beaeuolent" secret political organ
ization, the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie:
ga number of Office beggars and poll
ticians calling themselves the Grand Ar
myof the Republic, and meeting in out
Iof-the-Way places with grips and pass
words, are passing resolutions demanding
confscations and farms. This is either
knayery or madness. People who want
farms work for them. The only class we
know that takes other peoples property
because they want it, is largely represen-
ted in Sing Sing Penitentiary, (and in the
Black Republican party.-ED. SPIRIT }
The people Of this country do not want
Sing Sing and Mexican banditti principles
introduced into their statesmanship.n
The Grand Army can put that in its
pipo and smokeit. Grips and passwords
will go the better for it. How are you
bogus boys in blue? How are you rep
resentatives of Sing Sing apurely benev-
solent' principles?

National Banks.

. l-
No greater swindle was perhaps ever
invented than Chase's system of what
are termed aNational Banks" It is
simply systematic robbery, rascality and
fraud, and most barefaced imposition
upon the people. We will give an ILL.,
ustration in order that working men may
do their own figuring: First, wishing to
start bank we buy or borrow,say $780,
600 in bonds, these are deposited and
draw regular interest. On this $100, 600
ninety thousand dollars Of currency are
issued, so that we have at a single step
increased our capital to $3.50, 0,000-one
hundred thousand at interest, and ninety
thousand in currency to speculate upon.
Suppose that eighty thousand of this
currency is invested in bonds and they
deposited, we have then $180,00O at in
terest and $4,000 in currency, making
now our net capital at the second step
only S262,O00. Say we again invest
$50,000 in bonds and draw s45, 900 more
currency, this gives $23O,0OO in bonds at
interest, and $77, 1000 in currency. At
the third step, our capital has grown from
S100,000 to $307, 600. The interest re-
ceived on bonds then amounts to $13,3O0
lin gold. On the $4,000 currency we
make, say S7,7OO. We have then an in
come of more than twenty two thousand
dollars, on an original capital of only
$1Oc, 900; and suppose we continue in
creasing our capital in the same way,
where Wilt lead us? Let us inquire
now who pays the swindling shops the
interest on their inflated capital7 It is
paid by the laboring classesl Twenty
millions are thus annually wrung from
the toll and sweat of working men to fat
ten these bloated institutions of fraud
and oppression. Why not wipe them
out andsupplY the place of these issues
with legal tenders-this would not in
crease the volume of our currency, but
it would give us better currency and
relieve US of twenty millions of taxes
now thrown away. "Old Hickory"
squelched the old monopoly bank, and
democrats are bound to wipe out this
huge swindle.

Not satisfied with Protection.

There is good deal of human nature
in the protectionists; they like butter so
we'll that they must spread their bread
ON both sides. Thus the Chicago Trib-
Eune, the leading Radical journal Of the
Northwest, says:
The Hon. Oakes Ames, of Massachu-
sets, is.a high minded man. He makes
shovels for the American and Austrian
markets. He finds the tariff on steel
pinching him, and he, too, wants a bounty
80 enable him to furnish cheapshevels to
the Austrians. Mr.. Ames is ssprotected"
in the American market by duty Of
forty FIVE pc. cent. on his shoyels. The
proof that he does not need such pro-
lection is found in the fact that he ex-
ports shovels to foreign countries in COM
petition with English manufacturers
Nevertheless, his export trade is declin-
ing, and he is threatened with extinction
By reason Of the high tariff on steel. He
proposes, therefore, to get a law passed
to compel those who buy shoyels in this
country at forty-fye per cent. more than
they are worth, so that he may furnish
shovels to the Austrians at forty-fve per
cent. less than they cost the American.
farmer. The professional name for this
bounty is 'sdrawback." The word boun-
ty does not sound we'll If the reader
will bear in mind that drawback means
sum Of money taken from the treasury,
which has to be made good by taxes from
some .other source, it will aid in forming
correct conclusions as to how far draw
backs should be allowed.
This remarks the New York Post, is
simply contrivance to make American
farmers and workingmen buy the shovels
they need at about twice the price they
might buy them for without such iniq,
-uitous Interference, and at nearly double
what the same shovels are sold for to
foreigners. That is to say, it is made a
penal ofIcnse to be an American citizen.

BITTER.-We find the following bitter
passage in D'Israeli's novel, the Young
Duke:
s'It is bitter to leave our fathers hearth
for the first time: bitter is the eve of our
return, when thousand fears rise in our
haunted souls. Bitter are hope deferred,
and self-reproach, and power unrecog-
nized. Bitter is poverty; bitterer still is
debt. 1t is bitter to be neglected; it is
more bitter to be misunderstood.
cit is bitter to lose an only child. 1t
is bitter to look upon the land which once
was ours. Bitter is sisters woe, a
brothers scrape; bitter mothers tear,
and bitterer still fathers curse. Bitter
are brieAess bag, curate's bread, a d.
ploma that brings no fee. Bitter is half
payl
SIT is bitter to muse on vanished youth;
lit is bitter to lose an election, or suit.
Bitter are rage suppressed, vengeance un-
wreaked, and prize money kept back
Bitter are failing crop, glutted mar
ket. and shattering spec. Bitter are
rents in arrears, and tithes in kind. Bit
ter are salaries reduced, and perquisites
destroyed. Bitter is tax, particularly
if misapplied; rate, particularly if en-
bezzled. Bitter is a trade too full, and
bitterer still trade that has worn out.
Bitter is a bore! A
"Itis bitter to lose ones hair or teeth.
1t is bitter to find our annual charge ex.
ceed our income. It is bitter to hear Of
Others fame when we are boys. It is
bitter to resign the seals we fain would
keep. It is bitter to hear the winds blow
when we have ships or friends at sea-
Bitter are broken friendship and dy-
ing love. Bitter woman seorned, a man
betrayed
"Bitter is the secret woe which none
can share. Bitter are brutal husband
and a faithless wife, silly daughter, and
a sulky son. Bitter are losing eard, a
losing horse. Bitter the public hiss, the
private sneer. Bitter are old age with
out respect, manhood without wealth,
youth without fame. Bitter is the east
winds blast; bitter stepdame's kiss. It
is bitter to mark the woe which we cannot
relieve. It is bitter to die in foreign
land.
sBut bitterer far than this, than these,
than all, is waking from our first delu-
sionl-For then we first feel the moth
ingness of self-that hell Of sanguine
spirits. All is dreary, blank, and cold.
The sun of hope sets without a ray, and
the dim night of dark despair shadows
only phantoms. The spirits that guard
round us in our pride have gone. Fancy,
weeping, flies. Imagination droops Der
glittering pinions and sinks into the
earth. Courage has no heart, and love
seems traitor. A busy demon whispers
in or ear that all is vain and worthless,
and we among the vainest of a worthless

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovRsTEES
& Co., are deemed by all good judges to be The
Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others,
at the celebrated Werld's Fair. Il is but jus.
tice to say that the Judgment thus pronounced
has not been oyerruled By the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly,t as.er this, they ars entitled to the motto,
excelsior may29.
