TIE Copperheads have called "Conserya-
live" Soldiers and Sailors National Conven-
ton to meet at New Y York on the 4th ofJuly, to
take action on the nomination Of "Conserva-
tive, candidates for President and Vice
President. ''Conservaiive" Soldiers men
whose hearts during the war were on the
RebIe sidel 1t was precisely this class of
''soldiers" to which the Rebs. we're mainly
indebted for every victory they achieved.
THE California Farmer afirms that the
Golden State "can beat all the other States,
and the world, in silk culture, and China aud
Japan besides The bugbear about the cost
Of labor is nothing, for our expense in
feeding is only one-quarter or one-ffth of
any other place iu the world, and we need no
material cost or care for sheltering the worms
from storms or damps. Everything is in our
favor, and in less than FIVE years we will ex-
port from this State to our friends East such
manufactured products as shall astonish then.
We can and will succeed in this great en-
terprse."
WHITTIER TO coLF4X.
Colfax well chosen to preside
Ger Freedoms Congress, and to guide,
As one who holds the reins of fate,
The current of its great debate;
Prompted by one too wise and good,
And fair, withal, to be withstood,
Here, from our Northern river banks,
| send to thee my hearty thanks
For all the patience which has borne
The weary toot of Bunkum's horn,
The kissing Of the Copperhead,
And folly dropping words Of lead
Still wisely ready when the scale
Hangs poised TO make the right PREVAIL
Still foremost, though Secession's head
Be crushed, with scornful heel to tread
The life out from its writhing tail
as wise, firm, faithful to the end
God help thee, prays thy sincere friend,
JoHN G. WHITTIER.
MARRIED WOMEN, are those of them rather,
who own property in their own right, seem
to be perpetual source of trouble to the
courts Of Pennsylvania. Every term they do
something which calls for fresh Judicial inter-
position, and ten years Of heavy labor have
not enabled our judges to explain to a woman
what she can do and what she may not. 1t
has just been decided that a married woman
may not sell stock without her husband S
consent, although his signature as a witness
on the certificate Of transfer has been ruled
to as evidence Of assent. This ruling shuts
the doors of the exchange and gold board to
the sex,
The Dayton Ledger, YaIland CHAM organ,
thus disposes of the claims of several as
piranes to the Democratic nominations
"'Dooli!tle' is spoken of a Democratic
candidate for the Presidency! Doolittle!
Rah for Doolittle! No. For all such can
didates we should do-IittIe, in fact we could
do-Iittle, if we we're to try. Why not Van
Wrinkle? We think we might ran loinkle a
little, if hard run. At least we could rip
Or any other ofthe seven traitors seeing
that we are traitor ourself. Andy johnson
and Frank Blair, too, are spoken Of! Who
next? Who next? No, gentlemen, excuse
US. If so hard pressed for material as TO be
forced outside Of the Democratic party for a
candidate, we are for Chase If there is to
be bargain let there be a consideration
If there is to be q sale let US have value
received, even if paid in 'greenbacks.' If
fer lack Of brains we arecompelIed to fall back
on an outsider, let us see to it that we get
brains
