TO TIE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in its former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate of $3.50 for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of its issues and the mo-
Nervousness of it's results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life of free government is on trial,
and it will be q sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try tho issue, pronounce a verdict of
self-condemnation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitality interested in
the progress of tho battle, and cannot
afford to be without sound and reliable
newspaper.
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as vehicle of ge-
moral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A largo
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filled with the contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
Of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view Of the
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora-
ton OF just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
scnding it to acquaintan ces and friends in
the Northern States.

Apropos of the great deal that is
being said about the motives of the
seven Republicans Senators in. voting
against impeachment, it is not unworthy
of remark, says Mack - that a great
deal of the legislation of Congress is en-
glneered and pushed forward by men,
bers and senators who are personally
and pecdniarily interested in its success.
This is notably tie case in regard to
that vast amount of legislation which
takes place every year in the interest
of the Pacific Railroad A great work
this railroad is, no doubt, but it's imYor-

GRANTS LETTER.-The DAYS when
old soldiers could palm off sixth rate
letters on cultivated and intelligent
people, as containing profoundly of
thought and embryo craftsmanship, are
past and gone. Minerals bird is no fit
cconsort for the proud, progressive Amer
lean eagle. Grant may be silent as an
owl, but the mantle of wisdom does not
rest upon his epauletted shoulders, and
the fact stands patent to all beholders.
The machinery of our Government has
become too complicated to trust in the
hands of men of ordinary caliber.

cils.-[ South Western.

A writer in a late magazine tells a
story which he had from the late Major
Noah, to the effect that when James
Gordon Bennett first applied for work
at the office of the old Courier and En-
qulrer, he was in such distress that the
kInd-hearted Noah gave him quarter
OF @ dollar to get dinner with before be-
ginning to talk with him about future
occupation. After Mr.. Bennett had sat,
lshed his hunger, he made a bargain
with Major Noah and went to work. His
duties included sweeping out the office
in the morning, in addition to his more
literary avocations:

THE CHASE PLATFoRM.-The follow
ing are the points, in BRIEF of Judge
Chase's platform, as inferred from the
statement in the New York Herald:
1. The States alone have the right of
fixing the terms of suffrage.
2. Congress has no power to keep
the rebel States out of the Union, and
its doing so is usurpation.
8. Universal manhood suffrage, and
universal amnesty and restoration to
political rights of all engaged in the re-
bellion, are now Indispensable.
4. Speedy resumption of specie paw
ments, so that greenbacks will be EQUIV
alent to gold.
8. No military trials in time of peace.
3, a proper proportion of Southern
ers in the Cabinet
= The judiciary to be independent
of Congress.
8. The President has full power to
pardon rebels and restore them to polit-.
zeal rights. Congressional restriction of
this power is usurpation.

RADICAL DECEIT ABOUT THE ARMY
ExPENsEs.-Th estimate for the War
Department. for tho coming year are
some $30,000,000, and the monthly ex-
penditures are not less than SIC, 900, 900.
The dominant party consider it necessa-
ry to hoodwink the nation, pending the
Presidential election, with the idea that
the army is not costing hundred thou
sand day, when really it is maintained
at an expense of not less than three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars per
day. Hence the anxiety to keep in
Stanton, and cook up at the next session
OF Congress a deficiency bill SURPRISING

The Sparta Rural Times says ex-Lieut.
Gov. b. w. Pearce has abandoned the
idea OF emigrating to British Honduras,
and he's "set about reconstructing his
impaired fortune, etc." We are pleased
to learn this. Now is the time we need
the help and encouragement of every
individual, and should rather invite emf
grafton to our shores, than leave our
friends in the darkest hours of trouble.
We do not admire the lack of patriotism
and moral courage in those who desert
their country when their services are
most needed, leaving their former friends
and comrades to their fate. And We
would not be surprised that, in a few
years when this country shall be happily
restored to prosperity and quietude,
these same untrustworthy individuals
Will be slipping back, seeking office at
the hands of the 'dear people, as re-
turned exiles Let all such be given the
'cold shoulder None but traits desert
a sinking ship" The true patriot will
stand upon the deck of the noble craft
valiantly battling as long as there is a
single ray of hope, and as 'slong as there
is life there is hope" 1t is adversity that
tests devotion and fidelity; in prosperity
when least neutrality-suspicious. and
friendship are superabundant.
