One or the other has always been y neces-
sary passport to office among the old slave
olgarchs of the South. 1t is true there was
no strict scrutiny of blood. It was enough
If 1t could be traced for one generution of
white ancestors who had been respectable
slave holders. 1t was no objection if the
ancestor in the first degree had been Il negro
driver and oversecr, who had swindled his
employer out of his plantation and slaves
while absent ut fashionable watering places
or bucking against the tiger. Blood, then,
was an essential condition. In the old days,
descent from slave holding ancestors meant
money. Such descent no longer retains
the same Specification. But the diIapidated
old slave aristocracy clings with wonder
ful tcnacity to old forms. It is made Sc
rious objection to Republican officers elect
that some of them do not pay as much tax as
some of the rebel Conservatives. This they
think is perfectly natural, because the loyal
Union men were forced into the army, while
rich secessionists staid at home and specula-
ted, and plundered and stole. But if We
take the Republican and the Rebel tickets
all round and compare them, we think that
measured even by that meanest of all tests,
money, the Republican ticket will run even
further ahead of the other concern than it
did in the late election. Even our colored
delegates are better off than majority of
their men. The former, at least, have no
debts, while the latter are not only bank
rupt in reputation aud in future prospects,
but are in utter peruniary ruin, and will
never be able to pay their honest debts
Republicans have enough energy and brains
to get along In fact, the worst off people
that we know of are tine poor old broken
down aristocracy who are too lazy to come
down to hard work. There is another class
who are suffering, and these are poor color
ed citizens who have been turned out of
doors to starve for voting che Republican
ticket by the high toned Southern chival-
ry,".who are indebted to their former slaves
for everything they have, or ever had in the
world.

A nation saved weeps DER the brave,
Who, faithful to its life and laws,
Mid march, and siege, and suffering, gave
Themselves unto its holy Cause.
II.
On rugged mount, in sylvan shade,
By murmuring stream and sounding deep
Meath soil their valor classic made,
The Heroes of the Union sleep.
To future Times remotest verge
Let vOtive offerings deck each grave,
And sacred eulogy and dirge
Lament them, bravest of the brave!
The flag still scars towards the sun:
The Union fears no traitor now:
Freedom for all at last is won,
And Glory crowns the nations brow.
Half mast the flag THE minute gun
Roll forth its heavy note of woe!
Their fame is safe,-the work is done
pf those who calmly sleep below.
War may again his havoc make,
New actors fill their allotted part,
Yet still these memories, fresh, shall wake
Their echoes in the nations heart.
