Tho Louisville Courier is not at all san
guinc Of victory in the Presidential election.
After quoting the comments Of the Northern
journals on the late elections, it says:
The conclusion which we deduce from the
tone Of the papers, representing. different
shades Of political sentiments in the North,
may be stated briefly thus:
First-The Republican party will attempt
10 avail itself Of the reconstruction iniquity
to the extent Of counting the negro votes OF
the South in the Presidential election. AT
the same time It will make 4 show OF depos-
ing the more obnoxious extremists from party
leadership, and will nominate Grant III he
will accept, upon a platform rcpudiating
confscation, etc., and proclaiming equal,
civil and political rights to the swhitc rebels
and black loyalists Of the South" :.
Second-Thc Democratic party will assail
the whole reconstruction scheme as an effort
to strengthen a party by unconstitutional at
tempts to dictate the local laws Of States
which are in the Union. 1t will take the po-
sition that this has been and should continue
to be, q white mans government, one IN
which the negro should be, and will be, enti-
tied TO equal civil rights, and having these,
will not need, and should not be permitted to
exercise any political power whatever.
Under such an issue our Northern friends
could not enter the contest with any hopes oil
victory.
The Courier, therefore, urges Kentucky to
steal Republican thunder BY granting the
negroes the right Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

PASSING AwAY.-Our human life has been
compared by the poets and writer's, to what
ever is most in~substantial and feeting Of
.sublunary things. Calderon likens it to a
dream, or to that vague, uneasy, ha~lf-waking
motion Of thought which occurs between two
sleeps; Burns to the fall Of a snowflake
upon n rivera moment here and then
gone forever" Young, to a brook, which
rushing rapidly along meadowy banks and
by human habitations, is suddenly swallowed
up BY the al-whelming sea; and Thompson,
in accord with his great theme, to the swift
changes Of the seasons-frst, the Towering
Spring, then the ardent Summer; next sober
Autumn, fading into age, till "pale conclnd
ing Winter m at last and shuts the
scene" Or, as an old author sums /, up:
'Grass, smoke, q flower, u vapor. ,bads a ana,
Serve to illustrate this frsfl LIE Of man"
But OF all these emblems none has seemed
to US more apt and touching than that spoken
Of by Southey, in his Book Of the Church. a,
used BY an old man during a midnirh, assem-
bly, Of the aboriginal Briton,, summoned to
consider the propriety Of accepting Christi.
anity. During the debate a little bird few
into the room from an open window, and
passing quickly through the light, made its
exit By another open window on the other
hide. Like the flight Of tina. bird, said an
,u,d sneaker. is this our human life; n mo-
mentary hash in the midst Of two abysses Of
a.,kness; and he argued therefrom. tina.

A Proxramme.

The following Is believed to be the pro-
gramme Of scheming Democrats in the East
and the South for the next two years:
First-Carry the election Of q President
and House of Representatives, and then u N
der the power which each house has to Judge
the qualifications Of its own members, ex.
clude the members from the States which
shall have accepted the conditions Of recon.
struction, and been admitted to Congress.
Second-Ordcr a new election for member,
of the lower House, excluding from the SUI
frage all who were not voters prior to The acts
Of secession. and then to admit the members
so elected to Congress.
Third-Declare the Senate, as at present
constituted, an illegal body, as to the Sena-
tors from the reconstructed States cause
new Senators to BE- elected in the place Of
such Senators, and with these and the Con-
sentative and Democratic members Of that
body, form a Senate which will be recognized
by the House Of Representatives and the
President.
And, Fourth-Disperse any and all gather.
ings which may assume to represent the
States as Senators in Congress, except the
regularly recognized body, as aforesaid. How
fofcibly this programme recalls the recipe for
making rabbit pic. First, catch the rab'
bit" &c.

Irisall very well to say that party discipline
is the great necessity Of the Republican
party, and that the lack Of it il what has
caused our defeat at the late elections. This
may be true !; but is equally true that this
discipline cannot be enforced unless the
measures, policy and general conduct Of the
party meet the approval Of the great body Of
its members. A great deal is said about the
Leadership" Of parties, but anybody who
attempts to lead a party anywhere except
where the great mass Of its members wish to
20, will have his labor for his pains. There
are a good many energetic and talented poll.
ticians who try to lead parties BY debating to
them; but they rarely meet withvery brilliant
success. Their presumption is apt to meet
with rather sharp rebukes now and then.
The best leaders Of political parties have
been those who took pains and had the
sagacity to study and understand the senti'
mens and wishes Of the masses, and then
shaped their action accordingly. Discipline
then takes care Of itself.

USEFUL MES.-There are men in public
affair. who seemed to have been born for an
emergency. When a great crisis has arisen'
that calls at once for prudence and courage,
4. kind Providence brings forward men who
.eem to have been born for just that emer-
eency-men who comprehend it, and who
master i.-and yet it often happens that such
men subside with the occasion that called
them forth. Born Of the opportunity, and
for the opportunity, they die with it; the very
pressure that brought it out was needed to
give them further motive, and that being
withdrawn, they retire into the quietude Of
private life. There is another class OF men
more rare, men moulded AFTER what a dis
tinguishcd author, speaking of poetry, calls
the grand style, born Of an emergency Inc
for history, who, when the crisis is past, DO
not subside with THORN for humanity, for
history, for the ages.

Hon. AARON SHAW, an cx.Congressman,
and ex-Judge, OF Illinois, while attending
Court at Laurenceyille, challenged the Prose
cutting Attorney to o foot-race for 30 q side.
The challenge was accepted. the race run
and won by Judge Shaw. The Grand Jury
has found an indictment against both gentle
men for gambling.-Erchangc paper.
This puts us in mind of a story-as
Uncle Lincoln used to say. Mike Nc
Clusky was arrested last week by the
U. S. Marshal, on a warrant issued out
of Judge Bsldwin's Court at Carson,
charged with carrying on q melodeon
without o license, in Gold Hill. His
next friend, General Cash." volun-
teered to go down'to Carson, and to see
Judge Baldwin, and in open Court to
explain that no RAJ present when the
| Federal License Assessor remarked to
| Mike that no would call on him again
perhaps the next week.-Mrs. was three
months ago when the promise was
made)-and that he failed to come to
time; that Mixes show didn't pay, and
broke up in q row and that there has
| not been II show since. Cash went down
to Carson with Mike, and made all these
explanations; and even more, for he
asked the Court to take q drink on the
head of it, and seemed to be Mikes next
friend and legal adviser-although maxi
ing no prctensions to Coke or Black
stone. But no came near getting poor
Mike hung by his pettifogging explana-
tions-aud Mike was glad to get off by
paying costs Of Court. General Cash.
however, had "got his foot in" John
James, the Deputy U. s. Marshal, made
complaint and had Cash arrested for
practicing in the U. S. District Cour,
,ithout a license! Mr.. Riorden, Of the
Gold Hill Boiler Works, and one of the
city fathers of the corporation, bailed
him until the case can be heard-which
has been put off, so it is said, until Bill
Stewart is reelected q. 8. Senator
General Cash is safe. Tho last contin'
gent will save him from a heavy fine.
