Franklin S ife.
From Parsou's Lie Of Franklin

10 promote her husband interests, she
attended in his little shop, where she b0u t
rags, sevcd pamphlets: folded newspapers,
and sold the new articles IN which he dealt,
such as ink, papers, lamp black, blanks and
other stationery AT the same time. she was
an excellent housekeeper, and besides neing
economical herself, thought her somewhat
careless, disordcrIy husband to be econom-
zeal also. Sometimes, Franklin was clothed
from head to foot in garments which his
wife had bO1h woven and made and for a
long time she performed all the work OF
the house without the assistance of a
servant.
Nevertheless she knew how to be liberal
at proper times. Franklin tells US that for
some years after his marriage, his breakfast
was bread and milk, which they ate out of a
two penny earthen vessel, with a pewter
spoon but one morning, on going down to
breakfast, he found upon the table a beau
tiiul china bowl, from which lis bread and
milk was steaming with silver spoon by
It's side, which had cost sum equal in our
currency to ten dollars. While he express
ed his astonishmcnt at this unwonted splen-
dor, Mrs Franklin only remarked, that she
thought her husband deserved a silver
spoon and china bowl as much as any of his
neighbors.
Franklin prospered in his business until
he became the most famous editor and
most fourishipg printer in America, which
gave him the pleasure Of relieving his wife
from the cares of business, and enabled
him to provide for her a spacious and well
furnished abode She adorned high sta
ton as well as she had borne Lowry one,
and presided at her husband liberal table
as gracefully as when he ate his breakfast
OF bread and milk from a two-penny bowl.

ton. The Freedmen's Bureau has just
been extended another year by the in
fluence of. General Howard, who
first pretended to recommend
its abolition. The fact is the
best answer to the false statement
of the Tribune, and reveals the real sem
timent of the head of this corrupt polit-
ical machine, who has worked it only
for selfish and party purposes: There
is net the remotest intention OF closing
the Bureau now, and never has been.
The best proof Of it is the law recently
nassed by an undivided Radical vote in
both Houses of Congress. 1t forms IN
essential element of their programme
in the Presidential campaign, and was
renewed for that object expressly.
The proof is to be found IN
the Senate bill proposed by Mr.;
Howard, by which the President
is deprived of all supervising authority,
and 1.-THE present Commissioner (Gen.
Howard, is rendered independent of the
army regulations and of all proper ac-
countability, until the LIST Of January
next, thus covering the Presidential
election. That proposition reveals the
plot: while another introduced by Mr..
Pomeroy as a sequel, proposes to trans
fer the Indian Bureau to the Freedmen,s
Bureau, and thus fasten it permanently
On the Government. The Tribune is
well aware of these facts, and yet has
concealed them for party effect.

From PorI.au-prinCp.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE llerald's
special from Port-au Prince, via lla-
yana, 18th, says: We have the intelli-
gence that Salnave's troops had at
tackled the Cacos at Porte Rouge but
were repulsed with considerable loss.
General Faubert had cannonaded
Fort Bcsalton.
The rebel cruisers had captured 4
Haytien war schooner ut sea.
At Fort Liberte the officers who re-
manned faithful to Salnavc were in
speeted by the Cacos and their property
seized.
The Haytien man-of-war Sylvan had
returned from the Cape in convoy of q
Spanish merchant steamer from Havana,
which had S200,0 in specie aboard TO
pay the repairs necessary on the steamer
Galata, which had been detained while
on her way from New York.
The American Minister bad notified
all foreigners to quit the American
consulate within six days or else en-
bark aboard the American steamer for
New York. The French and English
representatives offer refuge to the
aforementioned foreigners, but it had
not been rs yet accepted.
The American man-Of.war Penobscot
had gone on u cruise.
The British man-Of-war Mullet is ut
POrt-au-Prince.

The Nominations.

The Philadelphia Ledger contrasts the
nominations Of the two parties, and
does it, in the main, fairly as we'll as
tersely, giving their respective merits
in few words. Of the candidates for
the Presidency tho Ledger says:
There is elsewhere in this mornings
issue brief sketch of the (Democratic)
nominee. 1t must be said to his credit,
as we'll as that of the Convention, that
he is a man of eminent ability, largely
informed upon the public affairs of this
country, experienced in official affairs,
and Of irreproachable integrity and
morality in his private life. Although
lawyer by early education, he has been
for many years dairy farmer on large
scale. He is credited with great tact
and Judgment in managing men and af-
fairs. II will thus be seen that the
choice of the people, so far as the Pres
idency is concerned, must be between a
Republican soldier of iirst-class rank,
fame and success, and Democratic
statesman of frst-class rank and ability.

surely be the most important to tins

The principal issues are now fairly de-

test is for the preservation Of whit Is

WASHINGTON and his eompatriotsi
against the insane fanatics and thieves
who have full possession eff the power
of the Federal and State Governments,
and who are using the places they &C.

must be boldly fought by the Conserv-
alive masses who would save the Coun

people, overwhelmed by taxation, and
already deprived of many Of the rights
they once enjoyed. To conduct this
contest intclligently and successfully
all must understand the issues and the
arguments, and to obtain them, all
must READ. Democratic papers must be
circulated everywhere. A Democratic
paper every week in the hands of every
voter in the Union, would insure n vic
