WHAT LOYAL SoUTHERNER THINKs.-John NJ.
Bolts has written letter to friend in Washing
ton in regard to the couse of the recusant Sena-
tors in which he says -" have just risen from
the perusal of the Baltimore American and Wash
ngton Chronicle, and conclude that the game is
up and treason is triumphant not the treason
OF secession for which there was remedy in
the stalwart arms of an indignant and injured
people, who Dared their breasts to the storm
and beat back and overwhelmed the traitors of
: 81 but what remedy have we for the ten thou
sand times accursed traitors of '68, who, when
trusted most have most villainously betrayed
nation of patriots? | can not comprehend the
honesty of such votes as we are led to believe
are about to be given and the heart-sck loath-
ing, the withering scorn the unutterable contempt
in which | hold these over-sensitive, double
refined, old-wOmen politicians, whose feet
covered all over with political corns, you may
conceive, but | cannot describe. If all men
looked upon them as do, no decent Republican,
white or black, would ever recognize one of them
as worthy of being associated with, or of being
spoken to again"

THRILLING WoRDs.-Ex-Governor Hawley, of
Connecticut, on assuming his position as Presi-
dent of the Chicago Urion Republican Conven-
tion, said -" Passing by all personal and tenn
porary controversies, working in perfect conf
dence that the American people mean to do right,
and will do it in the end, we may feel sure of
triumph. The power of a nation of forty millions
must be behind the just claims of the poorest
working man, of whatever race, to recover even
and just wages. Its majesty must be felt where
ever the humblest loyal man appeals against per-
sonal violence and oppression. Every dollar o.
the national debt the blood of soldier is pledged
for. Every bond, in letter and in spirit, must be
as sacred soldiers grave. We must win,
gentlemen, and we shall win. 1t is the old fight
for liberty, equality and fraternity, against OPP
preston, caste and aristocracy. 1t is the old
fight to make the world better with malice
toward none, and charity for all.

The Old Canoe.

"hsre the rocks are gray and the shore is steep,
ana ana the waters below look dark and deep,
where the rugged pine in its lonely pride
Leans gloomily over the murky tide:
Mhere the reeds and rushes are tall and rank
vh here M .he reeds grow thick on the winding bank.
mhere the shadow is heavy the whole day through,
Lies at its moorings the old canoe
The useless paddles are idly dropped
Like sea birds wings that the storm hath stopped,
AND crossed on the railing, one Ger one
Like folded hands when the work is done;
hile busily back and forth between
Inc spider stretches his silver screen
And the solemn owl with his dull 81 too whoo,
Nesties down on the side of the old
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave
Rots slowly away in its hidden grave
And the green moss creeps Ger its dull decay
Hiding the mouldering past away.
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb flower,
Or the ivy that mantes a falling tower;
While many blossom of liveliest hue
Springs up DER the stern of the old canoe
The currentless waves are dead and STILL
But the light winds play with the boat at will,
And lazily in and out again
1t floats the length OF its rusty chain,
Like the weary march of the hands of time,
That meet and part at the noontde chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turn
By the dipping bow of the old canoe.
Oh many time, with a careless hand,
have pushed it away from the pebbly strand
And padded it down where the stream ran quick
When the whirs were wild and the storm was thick
And laughed as leaned on the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide.
To that the faces and boats two,
That were mirrsred back from the old canoe.
But now, as lean the crumbling side
And lock below in the sluggish tide,
Rhe face that see Is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear has a sober tone,
And the hand that leant to the light skiff wings,
Has grown familiar with serner things
But love to think of the hours that flew
As rocked where the whirls their wild spray sew
Ere the blossoms moved or the green grass grew
Ger the moUldering stern of the old canoe.

GRANT DRUNK.-The Napa Register, recently,
speaking of the Democratic charge that Grant is
inordnatey addicted to drinking, says =" 1t
must have been fighting whisky we sup
pose, that the General made use Of, and not the
miserable 'tangle-leg' used by the rebels. If
the General never gets any drunker than he was
at Fort Donelson, Vicksburg and Richmond, we
shall feel perfectly safe in voting for him for the
Presidency. When he gets into the Executive
chair, we want him to keep just so drunk, till he
has cleaned out the rebels and traitors that are
the pest of the country in time of peace, as eff
fectually he did their brethren and co-laborers
on the field of battle If Grant do such
glorious things for his country and for his own
fame when drunk, we don't any particular
necessity for his ever getting sober"

MORE THAN DoUBTFUL.-The Great Republic,
published at Washington, talks in this naughty
manner 1.-THE Chicago Times then goes on to
say it will be one of the efforts of the Democracy.
in the approaching Presidential campaign, to
"purify the social character of the country -
Its crusades will be against vulgarity, and -
adds the Times, 90 it will attempt to fumigate
both Congress and the Presidential mansion
That the White House needs fumigating no one
will deny, but that the political stencil within its
desecrated walls would be materially mitigated
by such odors as Copperhead Democrats of the
Times stripe accustomed to exhale, is more
than doubtful

Our Democratic contemporaries seem to be
s'after the soldiers with extraordinary ferocity
1t is evident that they will never forgive Grant
OF Sherman for their services in suppressing the
rebellion. The New York World and Express
are proving to their readers that every one of
Lees rebels was equal to four or five Of Grant S
men and the Examiner, not to be outdone in
expressions of malice, is advertising General
Butler as a thief ana General Sherman as some
thing even worse. 1t doubts if q in the whole
history of warfare-savage or civilized-a more
damning and infamous record was ever made"
than that made by Sherman in his march from
Atlanta to Savannah.-OaklandN News.

AFRICAN WoMEN.-M Chaillu, in his work on
the gorilla, thus writes of the African women :
" | shall never forget the kindness of those wo-
men to me while was sick Poor souls they
are sadly abused by their task-masters They
are the merest slaves. They have to do all the
drudgery. They receive blows and ill-usage.
And yet, at the sight of suffering their hearts
soften, just as women's hearts soften in our more
civilized lands. No sooner did sickness attack
me than these kind souls came to nurse and take
care of me- They sat by me 20 fan me they
brought more mats for my bed they bathed my
burning head with cold water they got me re-
freshiag fruits from the woods At night, W. her

PHYSICAL ExERcIsE.-The Westminster Gazette
discams against too much physical exercise,
and expresses the opinion that physical develop
ment is liable to be carried too far. 1t says -
Of course it is a very good thing to be able to
maintain ones rights against half dozen coal
heavers or to figure as the champion of inJ ured
responsibility against insOlent blackguardism, as
Sir Robert Clinton did little time back in the
public streets. But these are exceptional cases,
and few men can be pointed out who are distin-
guished both as pugilists and scholars. But the
greatest and most dangerous abuse, and one that
ought most sedulousy to be discouraged among
Young men, is what is technically termed as
1" training" Who cannot appreciate the indig-
nart periods of the ancients when they decry
the insane discipline of over enthusiastic ath-
letes? Then, as now, they studied to bring
their bodies to premature perfection, at the
expense of both mind and body for the remainder
of their lives. Those who have gone through
the severest training become in the end dull, list
less and stupid subject to numerous diseases
and in many instances the victims of gluttony
and drunkenness. Their unnatural vigor seldom
lasts more than FIVE years. 1t was especially re-
marked by the Greeks that no one who in bow
hood won the prizes at the olympic games ever
distinguished himself afterward. The three year
Immediately proceeding II are years are of great
mental Development and nature cannot at the
same time endure any severe taxing of the phy.
sical constitution. Prudence, therefore, espe
cially at this period of life, must ever 20 hand
finland with vigor, for the evils of excess out
weigh by far the evils of deficiency. But, a.
long as due bounds are preserved, athletic sports
may ever be hailed as the best friend both O
mind and body.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1868-06-27

The Chicago Republican, in an article on the
acquittal of Johnson, thus speaks of the recreant
Republican Senators who voted for acquittal =
" Traitors to the cause of Justice, whose names
should be held in everlasting adherence by the
loyal people of the United States, and to be
transmitted to their posterity as heritage of
scorn and detestation. Each of them is polit-
cal Judas who has shown himself INSCRIPTIONS
and monstrous enough to hand the fate of his
country over to the most inquitous influences"
