THE SHAM DEMOCRACY.

Between Judge Chase and the sham
Democracy there is not the slightest
affinity. The Democracy of he for
mer is Jgfs,soaiaa, that Of the hitter
.Jac1soaiaa. The difference is rs wide
as the poles. They are no more alike
than pure gold and its base counterfeit.
The one is for loyal government by
loyal men-the other is for disloysl
government by disloyal men. Why
then it may be asked did any portion of
the sham democracy propose to nomi-
nate him for the Presidency. We an
swer simply because it was their last
and only chance of success. They had
repeatedly nominated men of their own
stripe, and been beaten at the polls
They saw no better chance of success
in the present campaign, by repeating
the same blunder. Hence the wiser
heads of the party conceived the idea
of nominating one whose democracy
was pure and no sham. This was the
feast to which their rebel allies were in
vited Judge Chase for President and
some trusty rebel for Vice President. =
If successful it would be as easy to dis
pose of President Chase rs it was of
President Lincoln and in the same way
Once in possession OF the key OF the
Treasury and the immense resources of
the country, it would be an easy matter
to get control also oil the executive pa
tronage of the government, adding one
more to the long list assassinations,
which already crimson the party. But
there was one little matter which up
set the whole scheme. If nominated ut
all it must be on Mr.. Chase's platform,
which was very different thing from
that of the sham democracy. Wade
Hampton, Pendleton d Vallandigham,
were not to be thus sponged mp by rad
icalism, and hence the nomination of
Seymour and Blair The Chase men
were very sanguine that they carry the
people with them, and we must confess
that there was danger of it, but we are
inclined to the belief that the rebels
have saved Mr.. Chase the modification
of entering the retired list of defeated
and left him in IL better
condition for future canvass.

Courage is a great thing. 1t lifts a
man above his circumstance. As that's
one OF the definitions of true demo
cracy, it follows that courage is demo-
cratic For this reason it is. probably,
that the Democratic party now have SO
much OF it. 1t is wonderful, too, to
see how they keep it up. Though every
man of sense knows that they are al
ready beaten beyond redemption, they
vet go through the duties of the hour
with as much life and elasticity as if
they were sure Of victory on Tuesday
next. We never saw a body OF men
so well fitted to meet adversely and
contend with disaster, This is well,
for il they were not thus gifted their
situation would he hard indeed. Luck
ily for them, and for MS all, the agony
will soon be over After Grant is cleo
ted, we shall have peace and an era OF
universal good feeling. Meanwhile,
let our Democratic friends keep their
watch fires brightly burning and their
sentinels all wide awake. New York

Tie vivid intensity of the portraitures in this story
may suggest doubt of their accuracy, but we have
the assurance of the author that almost every is
copied from life and that the leading figures the
canvas are deneatons of originals within the Gil Gle
of her acquaintance. Her ardent imagination has
doubtless thrown a glow around the objects of her
memory. and her impetuous yehemence Of feeling
has quickened her indignation at their wrongs to
more than white heat. But it needs sympathy
with her convictions TO recognize the power of her
genius. She combines clearness Of intellect with
depth of emotion in a manner which furnishes album
dant promise Of noble in literature as well
~ on the stormy of pnblic debate. The present
work certainly, shows marks of immatGrity, of i'm
perfect enlture of the absence of familiar literary
associations and Of the habitual use oanguage vita
ted by frequent unauthorized colloqualsus bnt these
defects are lost sight of in the presence of the COM
manding qualities that are inherent in the authors
nature. and which are of incOmparably more value
than the fastidious renements of art Conscious of
high intellectual gifts and of still higher moral per-
ceptions she has only TO parsne her way 10 hon
orable rcnown, with no womanly senstiyeness to
salutary criticism.

Ten years ago Maggie Mitchell was the
bright particular star throughout all the
Western States. At that time she was moi
generally known in the East. Her spright-
illness on the stage gained her the admira-
ton of young America and half the youth
ful bloods OF Chicago, st. Louis and other
cities We're visibly "struck" with her
charms. Upon her going to New YORK.
about FIVE years ago she became the favor
ite there, and is still an object OF admira-
ton in the Eastern States. Probably two
thirds of those who are attracted by her
style are fascinated by her youth as much
as anything else, and this is where the Joke
comes in, as it shows how deceptive the
shades of the tootlights are. Maggie was not
particularly youthful ten years ago; to-day
she can look back upon her maidenhood,
at time when most of the young men who
are struck after her were born. She is
about forty-three years old Just think of
that? Emerson said once that man
might eat shoe strings and marry his grand
mother, or words to that effect but ina

LIcenlious FashIons,

IT is a remarkable fact that the most over
dressed epochs of civilization have been
the most licentious. The question forces
itself upon the mind of the observing man
as he passes along the principal promen-
AIDES, says the New York Times: :" Is not
this an epoch of the overdressed, and is il
notlicentious" Modesty has given way to
meretricious display, and pride of appear
ance has degenerated into conspicuous for
mallties which once were confined to he
courtesan. The stranger would not believe
that our money is less than par value. or
that the industrious are without employ-
ment. The prevailing weakness is DISPLAY.
from the matron and maid to the common
est servant. If the costly and rare goods
can not be had, thtr is profusion Of tbe
imitation, which, to the unedncated eve
affords eqnal satisfaction. How all THIS
show Is maintained is question for the
leisure of moralsts and economists. ii
centiousness has to do some Of it. no donbt
Ii so, is there limit beyond which it NAV
not gel
Well, we beg leave 70 ask, what is the
remedy We have become worried with
the iacessant growing at the paerle stu
pidties and the destructive fooleries of the
fashionable. What is the use of irettipp
about it2 If there is a remedy, out with it,
adopt it, and be done with it.
II Is pleasant for journals of pecuuious
designs TO pander to a morbid passion for
such kind Of platitudes as we are all the
time hearing and reading about the gem
tility OF our large cities, but what does it
all amount 10 il there be no help for it,!
We gave the other day an account of a
Womens' Convention at Stuttgart, Ger
many, for the purpose of adopting such
styles of dress as are most convenient and
holding on to them as long as the material
will last-but we venture TO say that nine
tenths OF the ladies who are interested in
that movement are too impecunious 10 az
ford the richness and the eternal changes
prescribed by that French demon known
as the Goddess Of Fashion.
Is there remedy or is there notg If
not we might as well hush up and lei
the thing run its round of splendid
and fatal dissipation. As the dead flies
make the honey stink, so does the putridity
Of rotten liVers, hearts and lungs produced
by this genteel and exclusively respectable
life cause the deepest disgust in every right
minded person Cinclmati Times,
