men, of all parties and of all sec
tions, feel sure of justice and fair
dealing at his hands. The modera-
ton of his temperate tolerant
spirit which marks all his acts and
opinions-his profound respect for
and Difference to the will of tho Peo-
,Iple as the only rule and guide for
the conduct of the Government, and
his freedom from all ambition but
that of harmonizing the sentiments
and promoting the peace of the
whole country, give the great mass
of the people the most absolute as
surance of the justice, wisdom and
patriotism of his Administration
These are the qualities which give
him so strong hold on the conf
aence Of the country. They ex-
plain why it is that men Of the most
opposite political opinions concur
in their willingness to trust the ad
ministration Of the Government to
his hands. And they will give him
support at the ballot box which
will far transcend the limits of the
party which had the good fortune to
make him its candidate 1t is not a
platform, nor a party. which the peo-
pie desire for President; it is Man,
and his name is GRANr.-N. Y.

''Free speech was one of the
earliest demands of the Republican
party. 1t did not exist, when that
party was formed, in any slave State.
nor in any Territory of the United
States where the spirit Of slavery
had sway. 1t was especially denied
in Kansas, while lynch law speedily
interposed to crush any attempt to
exercise it in any Of the Southern
States. Slavery has been abolished
but speech is no more free now in
the south than it was ten years ago
The recent bloody afray at Camilla
Ca grew out of an attempt to sup
press and prevent it. The apollo
gists for that slaughter concede
that the only offence committed by
the negroes, was their attempt to
hold a Republican meeting. Repnp-
lican meetings are prohibited il
Georgia. The spirit and pride Of
the white race" will not tolerate
them. Yet slavery is abolished
what worse than this was done while
slavery was in the ascendant? T? The
work of the Republican Party will
not be finished till the people car
peaceably assemble and express theil
opinions on political questions il
any part Of the country.-M. Y

Proclamation by the President.

Proclamation by the President.
BY the President of the United
States of America:
A PROCLAMATION 4-sr5
In the year which is now drawing
to an end, the art, the skill, and the
labor Of the people of the United
States have been employed with
greater diligence and vigor and on
broader fields than ever before, and
the fruits of the earth have been
gathered into the granary and the
storehouse in marvellous abundance.
Our highways have been heightened,
and new and prolific regions have
been occupied, We are permitted
to hope that long protracted politi-
cal and sectional discussion are, at
no distant day, to give place to re-
turning harmony and >fraternal af-
fection throughout the Republic.
Many foreign States have entered
into liberal agreements with US.
while nations, which are far off, and
which heretofore have beeu unsocial
and exclusive, have become our
friends. The annual period of rest
which we have reached in health
and tranquility, and which is crown
ed with so many blessings, is, by
universal consent, a convenient and
suitable one for cultivating personal
piety and practicing public devotion.
I, therefore, recommend that Thurs
day, the twenty sixth day of No
vember next, be set apart and OBJ
served by all the people of the Uni
ted States as day for public praise,
thanksgiving and prayer to the Al
mighty Creator and Divine Ruler of
the universe, by whose ever watch
full, merciful and gracious provi-
dence alone States and nations, no
less than families and individual
men, do live and move and have
their being. -.-.
In witness whereof, have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington,
this twelfth day of October, in the
year of our Lord one thousand
j eight hundred and sixty eight, and
of the Independence of the United
States the ninety third.

Written for the Pioneer
Thoughts of Home.

Within my mind there come, to-night,
Thoughts of home.
And there seems pictured in colors bright,
The scenes of home.
On earth we find no place so dear,
Tho humble to others it may appear.
Yet in our minds 'tis ever dear
t.-.. That dear old home.
Around the fireside's cheerful light.
At home, sweet home.
see picture fair and bright,
Fond hearts at home.
A fathers voice falls on my ear,
A mothers tone so sweet and dear,
A sisters voice SO full of cheer,
Sweet sounds from home.
The labors of the day are done,
at home, sweet home,
And the parting rays of setting sun,
Falls bright on home.
a prayer to Heaven doth now ascend.
And the Father doth a kind ear lend,
Whilst holy angels round tn, m bend,
Loved ones at home.
In that dear prayer, hear my name,
AT home, sweet home;
And voices dear, seem just the same,
AT home, sweet home.
'Tis but the words ''God bless my child,''
And may no evil eer betide,
But ever round and bout her bide,
And bring her back to home.

The New Ruler of SDain.

Marshall Espartero, Duke of Wit
tolia who has just been called to
the presidency Of revolutionized
Spain, is a veteran whose career has
been remarkably eventful. He was
born insGranatula in 1892, SO that
now he is seventy-six years of age.
His delicate constitution prevented
his following the trade OF. his father
who was a carpenter, and so he was
educated for the church. In 1903
at the time of the French invasion,
he volunteered in company with a
body of students, and liked military
life so well that he presently enter
ed military school and remained
here until his twenty third year.
when he was commissioned sub-lieu
tenant. When Napoleon was ex-
PEELED from Spain, Eipartero's love
of. adventure led him to join Gener-
al Morillo in his South American
campaign, whore he distinguished
himself so greatly that he was sent
back to Spain 1924 on q diplomat
icsmission. When.he returned Boil
var was triumphant, and he was inn
prisoned, but escaped. when back
to Madrid, won fortp Thousand dol
lars by gambling, and gained the
hand ofan accomplished woman.
On the death of Ferdinand, in
1888, the question of succession pro
duced a general confusion: the con-
testants being Don Carlos, who
claimed under the Salic law, and
Maria Christina, who maintained
the right of her daughter Isabella.
Espartero joined the latter party
and in the desperate contests which
| followed was one of Isahella's most
powerful supporters, finally defeat
ing Zamalacaregi and the ablest Car
list officers, and placing Isabella on
the throne in 1910, the Queen moth.
er resigned her regency, and its du-
ties were transferred to Espartero
but in 1943, when the majority of
Isabella was declared by the Junta
Of Barcelona, he was desposed and
fed to England, taking refuge in an
English Man-of war He remained
in retire ment until 1847, when he
was made senator and recalled. He
kept out ofactive political life, how
ever, until the retirement of Chris
tina and Narvaez from the country
he was again sent for by Queen Is
/ abella, much against her will. and
placed in charge of the Supreme
Council, in coiunction with General
O'Donnell, his former rival but the
joint administration was weekend
by the opposition of the clergy, the
Vaccinations of the Caalists, the cor
ruption of the court and other
) causes.
/ AT length crisis was reached. in
/ 1856, when Espartero was dismissed
; and Instructions broke out in Mad
rid, Barcelona Saragossa. In these
disturbances. he took no part, and
in 1857, resigning his position as
Senator, retired to private life where
he has remained until about two
; months ago, he was recalled to Mad
rid by Queen Isabella, and entrust-
ed with formation of a cabinet.
He was then either unable or unwil
ling to unite conflicting elements
. with he had to deal. He is said TO
be man Of determined will, and to
be devoted to the cause of liberty
and progress.--N. Y. Poet.

XTSc To IMPRoyE TIE AcrIoN OF Quick.
slLvEn.-R. d'Heurcusc, in a letter to
the Mining and Scientific Press, dated San
Francisco, May I, 1868, makes tho fol-
lowing statement
It seems not to be generally known that
zinc with quicksilycr-about ono ounce or
less to ten pounds Of observation-disclosures
the rctentivc efficiency Of the quicksilver for
gold and silver to q remarkable degree.
This may be attributed to the rough and
barbcd edges peculiar to the fracture Of cast
or scmi.auid zinc; similar to the state in
which it appears in the amalgam.
Some similar action is effected by sodium
amalgam, BY the use Of gritty silver for
amalgamation OF battery aprons, and finally
by the use Of amalgam, rich in gold, in aras-
ira, batteries and pans. In either case the
effect is superior to that Of plain quicksilver,
the surface Of which, by its s~moothne;s,
offers less resistance. Zinc, Of all metals,
exhibits the strongest inclination to this Pc
culiar barb-like capitalization. Even IN the
melted condition, the passage between tho
particles is far from smooth; but rather, as
il were, bristled with innumerable barbcd
hooks, which graphic the gold and silver, in
stantly taking il up from any substance pass
ing through t; and to this popularity may
be traced the extraordinary rctcntive faculty
of the melted zinc, for gold and silver, far
surprising that Of any other substance in cx-
istencc. Millmcn will find It Of great advan.
tagc to use zinc with their quicksilver. The
use OF it in this manner is not patented, but
has been employed in Mexican mines, and is
therefore free to all. It requires only to be
known to be appreciated. One dollars worth
Of zinc saves pounds Of gold and silver.
It should be remarked that il docs not in
juriously affect the bullion, for in melting
this into bars the zinc is yolatilized.

A HsraE Washington dispatch says
General Buel states that General Grant
has written Il letter which will be hand
ed in due time to the President Of the
Chicago Convention, declining the nomi-
nation for President. In the letter GEN
eral Grant states that the only motive
which could induce him to accept the
position would be his anxiety for the
complete restoration Of the Union, aud
rs the Executive he could aid in promo
ting that end; but as the object is now
almost accomplished and soou will be
wholly completed, he would rather re-
tain the position he holds. He hopes
the wisdom Of the Convention may uaite
on n candidate who will do honor to the
party and the good Of the country.

leave Of absence was granted to Grimes

II was uncomfortable that Senators could
be so lost to shame as to permit these
Senators to vote on Impeachment in

to take up the bill, and adjourned till
the 18th. Buckalew, speaking to q
question Of privilege, resented the at
tempt Of tho House to protect the dig

defended the conduct Of the House.
