THE HON. SCHUYLER coLFAx.

SCHUYLER CoLFAX, the popular candidate of the
National Union Republican party for the office of
Vice President. is a native OF New-York City. He
was born in North Moore-st., March %, 1923, his
father having died but short time previous. With
but limited means, his widowed mother could afford
TO Keep him at school but short time, and at the
age of 10 he was placed in mercantile establishment
where he remained for three years. contributing mate
rally from his small salary to the support of both
himself and mother. In 1886, he and his mother, in
company with Others left their homo in this city and
settled in St. Joseph County, Indiana. Shortly after
his arrival in the West, he was appointed Deputy
County Auditor for st. Joseph County, and employed
his leisure hours in the study of State law in which
he is said soon to have become an acknowledged ex-
FOUNDER. He read law. pretty thoroughly during
these leisure hOurs but not with view TO adopting
il a. a profession. He had but little idea oil
what great benefit the information he was then
gaining would provo TO him in after years.
IN 1916 he started weekly Journal at South Bend,
the county seat of st. Joseph County called The 81

The Paris Moniteur which IS geneTaiy wei
informed about the war in Paraguay STATES
that according to its latest dispatches PreSl-
dent Lopez was determined to dispute every
inch of the road to the Capital. To that end
he had strongly fortified the mouth OF the
Tibicuary and made this river his new line OF
defense. The Tbicuary is the first important
river north of the Parana, which constitutes
the frontier between Paraguay and Brazil, and
which has so long arrested the advance OF the
Allies The distance between the Ilbicuary
and the Parana is about 80 miles, or one-third
of the distance between the southern frontier
of Paraguay and the Capital. If the Mon'teWS
dispatches are correct, the end of the war may
still be far off. In the Argentine Republic the
sympathy with Paraguay seems to be on the
increase, and from number of places 1t is
reported that the new cOnscripts have mutinied
and gone home. The representatives OF the
United States in the bellgerent States continue
to offer mediation, though the report that our
Minister in Brazil had threatened the Emperor
with an armed intervention Of the United
States is undoubtedly untrue.

That was IN admirable resolution adopted
by the Chicago Convention yesterday, on the
motion of Carl Schurz, commenting the mag
"nanimity of the reconstructed Rebels who
"now support the Government, and favoring
"the removal of the restrictions and disabili-
"tics imposed upon them just as rapidly as
"their loyalty justiies it," speedy restora-
ton of the Southern States to their old places
in the Union, and a generous forgiveness OF
the conquered brethren who repent, are the
chief features in the Republican policy, and
but for the obstinacy of Andrew johnson we
should long ago have carried it into effect.
But soon, with Grant and Colfax for our lead
ers, and the Administration united and loyal,
we shall tramplc upon all distractions and
bring back our country to order and happiness.

The project for 4 National Telegraph line
between New-York and Washington, TO be
owned and controlled by the Government, does
not commend itself to ON favor. We do not
see what the Government has to do with en-
tcrprises of this sort, nor has Its success IN
carrying the mails been such rs to encourage
it to attempt any more labor of the same char
actcr. All such work had better be left to
private corporations, who will do it more
cheaply, promptly, and honestly than we can
hope ever to have it done by public officials.
If the Government is TO carry messages and
letters, why should it not carry other things
Why should not the Secretary of tho Interior
control all the railway lines, and the Metro

The Rebel Dead. J.

i il
From Chg Springfield AEass Rapubiican.,
We utterly full to sympathi1e With
the sentimeht Of those who m0iild fora
bid that the rebel dead should be
buried side BY side with our own.
When the great debt Is paid aureIy
it cancels all our petty claims. When
a man gives up life bravely ID the
front Of battle, no matter in how bad
a Uatise, if not admiration, at least
forgiveness and pity are the natural
hibute Of all generous hearts. These
remarks are suggested, orrather com
PEELED, by observing that Rush G.

ing, to attack 4 member Of tho club
who had expressed himselfiu favor of
q common burial Of the Union and
the Rebel dead. Such aman misrep-
resents in every sense the feeling Of
the granl army--We do not aIlude TO
a secret organization by that name.
1t should be left to Southern women
and Radical politicians to exhibit such
animosties. No northern father Ia-
menting his son need feel wronged to
know that a darling Of q Virginian
home lies by his side and If the two
soldiers, bravely as they contended in
life, should become conscious Of that
neighborhoOd, we have no fear that
their long rest would be disturbed,
Rather would they clasp their war.
ring hands, put face TO face and sleep
like brothers reconciled. Shame upon
such unmanly bitterness 4 No true
American win honor himself more
than by rebuking every manifestation
Of this hate, that descends into the
grave, and makes separation between
the bones Of gallant men. Out upon
the though the rank and file of The
Southern army were traitors and
criminalsl They fought honest ana
earnestly in bad cause, enduring in
many cases privations Of which our
own troops knew little, They marchr
ed barefoot when our boys we're well
shod. They went hungry when our
boys were well filed. They disputed
every inch of ground with desperate
valOr, and yielded to destiny last.
They proved themselves in life foes
men worthy of our steel, and their
mouldering bones may we'll rest in
peace by the side Of our brayest and
dearest.
Their differences with us were all
settled when they fell together with
ours on the field Of battle. ''All that
is left Of them now, >" is only human.
Vengeance need not follow them into
the grave. Pity may weep over them.
Patriotism may cover their failings,
remembering that they we're children
of one mother, and that their valor
sprang out of the same heroic stock.
Beauty may strew flowers upon the
green mounds that hide such courage
and high resolve.

the name Of Celestina was heard upon

Celestina trembled when she heard
him pronounce her name she was no
longer mistress of her transportj she
rose, and was on the point Of throw
ing herself into the arms Of her lover,
when the presence Of the gacler re-
strained her. She turned away her
eyes, and, stirling her sobs, desired
to be left alone with the prisoner. She
was obeyed. Suffering her tears of
joy to fow more freely, she now ap.

layers, she publicly declared her sex

Office and presenting Don Pedro to

Poor, but Healthy

Some of our newspapers are fond OF
placing before the public the origin of
rich men. We think the poor ones
should have chance; so we relate the
following brief facts for the encourage
ment of others:
John Smith was the son of his father.
He formerly resided in Stoke POgis, and
other places, but he has moved to the
penitentiary now.
William Smith was the son of his
mother. This party's grandmother is
deceased. She was n woman.
John Brown was the son of old Brown.
The body of the latter lies mouldering
in the grave. -,
Henry Jones was the son of sea-
cook.
William Cannon was the son of big
gun.
John Jones was q Son of Temper
ance.
In early life Gabriel Jones was actual
ly shoemaker. He is shoemaker
yet.
Previous to eighty-fve Caleb Jones
had never given any evidence of extraOr-
dinary ability. He has never given any
since.

Ne Retrenchmeut.

Congress proposes to reduce the taxes
by abolishing the tax on mall ufactares;
bat it refuses to reduce the expenses of
the Government by retrenching. 1t
abolishes no office, no foreign mission,
no sinecure created for the benefit of
Radical partisans.
A week ago the House veted $1,000 to
two men who had been cOntesting Ken
tueky seats, to which they had no more
claim than they had to seats in the
British Parliament. They had been
beaten by majorities of six and eight
Thousand respectively, but in spite of
this, they claimed the seats because
they were "loil," and the House COM
pounded with them at $500 each. Last
week bill was passed to continue the
Freedmen's Bureau-for the benefit of
indolent negroes who prefer to dabble
in politics rather than work like other
less favored people. There is no reduc-
tiOn of the army, and no reduction in
the navy. All these large items of ex-
penditures are continued, while the re-
ceipts of the Treasury are, dwindling
daily, and while Congress is striking
off sixty millions at one blow, by abol-
ishing the manufacturers tax.-St.
