IT MUsT SToP-Wc have been cred.
IDLY informed that for a number of
years our "loil" neighbors of Gulich
township have been in the habit OF
placing party on the election board
who is not entitled to the elective
franchise. We are the last one to
advocate the exclusion of white mon
from the ballot box, but if half is true
in reference 20 the conduct of the
'loilists' in Gulich, we will have the
matter properly investigated and the
offenders prosecuted. This township
has no right to persist in electing
aliens as election officers.

That mo prefix or aflix" Democrat
John W. Gcary-has reminded the
public that he wants to be governor
for another term. He got one of his
friends to write him a puff as candi-
date for United States Senator, ooh,
Glory !! so that he could decline that
and announce himself as a candidate
for re-elcction-ail in good time. 1t
was a nice little trick, but so very
transparent and small as to excite only
mirth and ridicule among his party
friends. Johns prospects are not so
good as they were, and the probabili.
ties are quito strong that he will have
to give up living in the style of Louis
the Fourteenth, in palace gotten up
a la Pompadour Good bye, John, in
prospective.-B Beiletonte Wdtchmdn.

Tho Republican party promises

Tres are not TO be depended on. II
seems 20 be a point Ia the tactics o
that party never TO tell % truth when
I IFS uttcmnco would initiate against
| les interest The papers of The party
arc filed, from day 10 day, with th,
most grouudlcss assertions, stories Of
/ Democratic atrocities without any
foundation 70 rest upon, aud yet they
have the audacity TO call themselves
a moral party, when the course they
follow violates every moral principle,
and is directly antagonislic to every
law that the Supreme Ruler of the
Universe, or the Saviour Of mankind
is believed TO have given.
In the case of the woman caught in
the act Of adultery, when she was
brought before Christ, and his iudg-
mcnt demanded, instead of replying,
he stopped and wrote in the sand ;
and when they still insisted for iudg
ment, his reply was, ole that is with
out sin among you, let him cast the
first stone at her."
The rebuke was deserved, and, as
we learn from John, cb. 8, V. 8, was
felt by all those who had brought be-
fore him the woman for condemna-
tion, as they left the temple without
casting stone, and the woman and
the Saviour were left in the temple
together.
Then Jesus, lifting himself up from
hisstooping posture, inquired, "Where
are those thine accusers Hath no
man condemned thee 2"
And when she had answered: "No
man, Lord" he replied, "Neither do
| condemn thee; go, and sin no
more"
Here is lesson for that proiessedly
intelligent, civilized and christianized
party, which iholds to this day the
whole South, except Kentucky, Mary
land and Delaware, in military and
Bureaucratic subjection.
Here is lesson for all men, of all
parties.
The South sinned. Admit it. Is the
sin never to be forgiven Or before il
is forgiven, are her people to be
forced, by the bayonet, into the adop-
tion of principles and practices which
their consciences aud judgments alike
condemn?
This seems to be the doctrine of the
Radical party, and a more atrocious
doctrine could not well be conceived
Or praoticed.
1t is so contrary to sound judgment,
TO elevated craftsmanship, TO humani-
ty and christianity, that the mind and
heart revolt IRON it, and the imagina-
tion tries in vain TO discover a single
reason why sane people should con-
tinue in power party so irrational,
arbitrary and uncharitable.
There is not a man among them
who can, conscientiously, throw the
first stone aU the South, and yet they
refuse to leave the temple, aud keep
up cruel warfare against her, from
the lowest and most detestable mo-
tivcs, and against the dictates of rea.
son and justice.
Under Radical rule our Government |
is, at this day, the most arbitrary on
the face of the civilized and christian
lied world, and we are rapidly rush
ing into o future which no man can
forotell.
We are fast tending toward events
that may not only convulsel a CONT
nont, but world, and what theresult
will be is only known to that omnis-
cient eye that traverses the whole
universe aud secs the future as clearly |
as the present-HariSbTg Patriot |

ture with natural attractions. Her
complexion is, if not ruined by paint
and powder, fair and delicate, her
hair abundant and lustrous, and her
form the very perfection Of grace and
loveliness. Woman's chief ornament
is her hair. No mater how regular
the contour Of the features may be-
how lustrous the eyc--how sweet the
voice or graceful the form, if the hair
be not soft, glossy and beautiful, the
chief attraction is wanting. A lady
remarkable for the beauty of her hair

talents, high character, and admitted
political position, is fitted TO be the

Of State That is always the figure.
head of q new Administration, and if
it should be that of small or ordinary
man, the Government will commence
with woful lack Of popular prestige
and confidence. When one looks over
the Republican party he really sees
but one man who seems qualified, by
his learning and antecedents, to be the
Premier of the new Administration.
That man, as we have already stated,
is Charles Francis Adams, OF Massa.
chusetts, late Minister to England.
II General Grant does not appoint
him, he will be driven either into
placing some political nobody, literary
snob, or disagreeable fanatic in that
position.
Up to this time the Secretary of
State has been the best filed office in

talent that comprises the greatest
