Grant. "Let US have peace, echoes
the patriotic, peaee-loving, business and
labOring majority of people.
The manner of reconstruction may
have been such as to leave much to be
wished otherwise. But, one must take
into the account the great difficulties
attending the giant task; its newness,
the hostility aud baseness of the Presi-
dent the violence of Southern rowdy-
ism, the hatred of race, and numerous
other disturbing elements with which
Congress had to contend. Now, when
at last a solution of the question in
spite of It's difficulties has been arrived
at the so far completed work should
not be undone.
. All that the South needs is peace,
order and security. Grants election
will be a guaranty of peace. The
Democratic party does not want peace,
however. 1t desires to undo what the
reconstruction laws have done, regard
them as nuIl and void, and caIl upon
the country to renew that storm through
which it has but just passed. What
business man, what laborer who re-
CARDS his own interests, viii contribute
his influence to such cansumation
The evil spirit that rules in the Dem
OcratiC party admits of no amehoration.
Instead of putting, aside the old mis-
chief-makers, such as Vallandigham,
Forrest, Wade Hampton, Seymour, and
others it has placed them anew on its
escuteheon as its leaders. Instead Of
lighting the pipe of peace it has light
ed the torch of war, Instead of bury
ing the tomahawk, it proposes a arenew-
al of strife. Iustead of striking out on
a new path, it is again propagating
those fallacies that have so often
brought a curse upon the people. No
wonder, then, that hundreds aud thou
sands of we'll meaning and honorable
Democrats will, in this contest, turn
away from their party, because it re-
fuses peace to the South aud rest TO the
nation. -f

RemarkaBIe Adventure Of a

A family of this city had avery aged
cat, diseased and blind, which had been
for fifteen years or more member of
their household. The creature had
become dirty and offensive, and most
of the family desired to be rid of her,
and yet none liked to order the destruc-
ton of so venerable aud faithful re-
taiuer. Finally a servant girl determin-
ed to dispose of the animal, as she
supposed IN an etfeetual way. She tied
its legs together, and then -inclosiDg
it in bag, she tied the mouth Of the
bag up, and dropped it into a car Of
an empty coal train going west on the
Erie Railway, wh,ch runs by the house.
An interval of ten days elapsed, when
behold, early one morning the cat ap-
peared in her usual place. Of course
no one can tell how far she travelled,
how she WAS released, or what adven-
lures befsl her on her way. But
from the time that elapsed between her
banishment aud return, 1t is reasonable
to suppose that she must have been
carried long distance, probably huns
dreds of miles, possibly entirely to the
coal region and back. The instinct
is truly wonderful that could guide this
aged, feeble and blind creature back
to her old home, over such a distance,
and after such long time. For the
absolute truth of this story we can

Whenever you hear a Democrat de-
nouncing the Reconstruction laws and
charging that the Republicans have
fastened "negro supremacy on the
South, Just ask him whether the white
ex-rebels are not eDfranchised and en-
joy all the rights and privileges Of citi-
zsnship. Ask him how there can be
negro supremacy in the South when
the whites are IN the majority in thir-
teen of the fifteen Southern States, and
outnumber the eolored people two to
one. Ask him If he thinks Il would
be right to disfrancnise the black men
in the South who fought for the Union,
and confer a monopoly of the franchise
on those who fought against the Union.
Ask him if he is in favor of comforting
double political power on the rebels and
stripping the colored citizens Of their
right to yote-for they have that right
and now exercise il If he replies that
he would disfranchise the blacks be-
cause they are supposed to be generally
Ignorant just inquire Of the gentleman
whether he is willing to apply the same
rule to white men who are equally
ignorant. If lack of learning is q
good reason for depriving a black man
of his vote, why isNit not equally ap-
plicable to an ignorant white mani

A Deaf TeIegraph Operator.

A Deaf Telegraph Operator.
s. J. Hoffman, telegraph operator
in st. Louis, is curiosity. He lost
his hearing some years ago, and then
learned the art of tslegrsphy, in which
he has become a remarkable adept
His method of receiving a report is
exceedingly interesting. Good opera
tore receive by the ear, the elickings of
the instrument being to them like audi
bic reading, each letter and word being
ticked off as distinctly as though spell
ed out by the human voice. Not
hearing a single sound, he places his
knee against the operating table, by
which his peculiar and sensitive nerves
feels every vibration so distinctly that he
is able to surpass ordinary receivers in
the accuracy of bis reports. He hears
nothing about him is never disturbed,
and consequently works in silent
world of his own. In this condition
his memory has become wonderfully
retentive, and, as a consequence, his
manuscript is exceedingly correct
while his chirogrsphy is excellent
Mr.. Hoffman can speak, and answers
questions put to him audibly. The
mode of communication the telegraph
boys have with him is to tick of, as
an instrument upon his hand, or the
back of his neck, such things as they
desire to say to him. This is by no
means tedious, as the process is quite
as fast as an ordinary drum beat To

'ONE CURRENCY FOR ALL.'
Democracy Responsible for Our Not
Having It.

The Democracy are scattering broad
cast through the State documents, the
purport of which is that the United
States bondholder gets the interest on
his bond in gold. Hon. Edward
Mop Clerk of the House of
Representatives, has taken the trouble
to examine the record to ascertain by
whose votes in Congress the policy of
paying the interest in gold was estab-
lished. The result of his examination
he gives in the Gettysburg Star and
Sentinel, as follows:
February 8, 1852, the House of
Representatives, at Washington, passed
a bill authorising $l5O,OoO,OO0 of
Treasury notes and making them a
illegal tender" for al debts and demands
die to the United States for all salaries,
de-, due from tie United States, and
for oil debts, public and PriUGts 1sithin
the United States. This bill passed
yeas, 93, nays SO. But sic Demo-
Gratis voted aye, the rest nay. Had
the bill became a law in that shape
there would hare been bit one currency
for all
The bill went 10 the Senate where it
was amended so as to make these notes
a legal tender for all demands due to,
and from the United States, sexcept
for interest upon bonds and notes which
shall be paid IN con"
February 90, the House voted on
concurring in this amendment making
interest payable IN coin, aud it was con
Cured in, yeas So, nays 55,, But two.
Democrats voted nay, Joseph Bailey,
of Pennsylvania, and Thomas E.
NOEL, of Missouri both Of whom were
war men. Every other Democrat pres
ent vOted to concur IN thei Sspate's
amendment, and to make the interest
payable IN com. (See House Journal,
I'd sess, 37th Cong. page 1927
The Pennsylvania Democrats who SO
voted were, 1cona of Berks. Biddle Of
Philadelphia, johnson of Northhamp-
ton, Lehman of Philadelphia, and
Wright of Luzerne. I'd
Among the Democrats of other
States, who voted to make the interest
payable in coin, were English, of Con
necticut; Holman, LdlO and V0orhiss,
of Indiana; Cor, Noble Nuqer, Pen
dleton and Vallandighans of Ohio;
and Knapp aud Robinson, of Illinois.
There were As affirmative Democrat
ic and 43 Republican votes. There
were IS Republican negative votes.
The majority was but SO. Had the
Democracy divided or nearly so, the
proposition would have been defeated,
and the opposite policy adopted. But
they went solid, for the gold interest
and it prevailed.
Now, their party is raising cry
