c. G. Burr, who stumped New
Hampshire, and is to stump Con-
necticut for the Democracy, talks
in this wise in the Old Guard: "a
hundred men of the pluck and pa
triotism of Wilkes Booth, at the
start of these terrible despotisms,
would have saved our country.
The moment any man begins to
play the despot, he forfeits his
right to life. Just as many days
as these infamous tyrants (Grant,
Sherman, Schofield and the Radi-
cal members of Congress, have
lived since they began their despot-
ism, have they lived too long.
When the Burr Democracy came
into power the first thing they will
do will be to erect monument to
Booth, 1t should be borne in
mind that this Burr is. one of the
most acceptable stump speakers the
party sends out, and, like Brick
Pomeroy's paper, he appears to be
in extensive demand.

The defeat of the proposition OF
Senator Grimes, of Iowa, to reduce
the tariff on inportations ten per
cent. as an amendment to the bill
exempting our manufactures from
the FIVE per cent. tax, is important.
The vote stood twelve for and thir
ty-two against. and it may te ac-
cepted as proof that the United
States Senate is not yet prepared
to go very far in support of the free
trade doctrine In the interest of
which Mr.. Grimes proposition was
made. Its adoption would have
completely neutralized the tax ex-
emption SO far as American manu-
facturers are concerned, and amoun-
ted to measure for the benefit of
foreisn manufacturers. The action
of the Senate on this proposition is
one of many indications of the
conviction that revenue can be OBJ
tanned only by stimulating home in
dustry, and by giving it the first
chance in our own markets.

TAILS OUr.-A gentleman who has
travelled through Kansas tells some
funny stories, aud this is one of them:
A couple Of travellers who were looking
for land, CHANGED to lay Y at a
farm house in a sparsely settled district.
The house had only one room, and the
accommodations were of tho most prim-
eval character. When bed time APP
preached, a piece Of blanket was hung
across the room, the travellers took
their moiety of tho apartment, and
darkness and silence reigned through
the dwelling. It appeared that the
chickens, for the want Of n better place,
roasted on the -four barrel; and when it
was supposed that natures sweet ro-
.torer" had got hold Of the guests, the
good wife thus addressed her licge lord:
az say, John, il you arc going to keep
hotel you must mako different arrange
ments." why, Sarah Jane p softly
returned her sleepy husband. Be-
cause I'm not going to get up in this Fix
to turn the tails Of them chickens !"

Gold Hill, May sd, 1865.
The item evidently referred to by the
above note appeared in Saturdays
News, and read as follows:
Who STOLE TIE HALYARps THURSDAY
evening, at the time when the glorious news
arrived at Gold Hin Of the nomination Of
Grant and Colfax, General John B. Winters,
Superintendent Of the Yellow Jacket Mining
Company, like other loyal citizens, ordered
the stars and stripes to be raised on the flag
staff, over the new works Of the mine, but It
was then discovered that the halyards had
been stolen. Charley Booth, foreman OF the
carpenter shop, at once went to work n took
down the staff, which was on the cupola OF
the building. rove new halyards, and in less
IMAM an nOuE nuu ~ oiu hah hy'sh'
had been offered that the flag would not be
raised over those works, but 1t was.
Our authority for the item was Gen.
cral John d. Winters himself. We
wrote it out at the time, but owing TO
press of other matter it laid over until
Saturdays issue. While all other good
citizens were running up their flags on
the occasion, General Winters did not
wish to be misunderstood in the matter,
therefore we merely published his state
ncut rs II simple matter of justice to
him. He was under the impression at
the time that the ~halynrds wero stolen,
and so stated, therefore the item was
written accordingly, no imputation be-
ing cast upon any person Of whatever
nationality, color, or politics. General
Winters subsequently addressed us a
note relative to the halyards being
found, which is simply corroboratod by
Mr.. Shehan's note above. AS no charge
had been made by him, or us, against
anybody, it is evident to every one after
reading the item in question, that cer-
tain parties have been altogether too
sensitive in the matter. We cheerfully
insert Mr.. Shehan's explanatory note,
however, and accord it all duo bearing
in the matter.

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN KEN |
letter to the New York |
Tribune, from SimpSonville, KY, has
the following account of the charac-
ter of the political victory in that
State, over which the Democrats of
the North are just now so very ex-
ultant:
aft the Northern Democracy are
rejoicing over the Kentucky election,
it would he well tor the people of
the country at large to know the char
acter of the victory. Those who can
rejoice at the political triumph achlev-
ed August 3, 1868, in Kentucky,
would also rejoice at any success in
arms gained by Robert E. Lee or
Stonewall jackson. The demonstra
ton OF this assertion is found in the
character Of those who are elected.
1t is the very hight of impudence for
the Democracy to deny their svm-
pathy with the rebellion and close con-
nection with it. In our judicial Dis
trict have Just been elected Judge
OF the Circuit Court, Il w. Bruce of
Louisville, formerly a member of the
Confederate Congress; Comm n
wealth's Attorney, Phillip Lee, Colo
mel OF a rebel regiment during the
war; Clerk of the Circuit Court
Shelby county, R. I. Owen, a return.
ed rebel soldier; Sheriff of the same
county, John Foster Davis, Commits.
sary in the rebel army during the
whole war. This is fair sample of
the entire Democracy of this State,
Is it possible that the enlightened cit
liens Of the Empire State will so far
forget the late great struggle as tc
cast their votes for that party whose
wicked rule would turn the wheels of
advancing civilization half century
backward? God forbid that the
American people should so far forgut
The duty they owe to the memories vi
their fallen heroes, to the cause Of
justice, humanity and right; as to
embrace the present so-called Dem
ocracy."
