Without any process being served upon
him, a verdict was obtained, under The
statutes then existing, OF more than $780,

sold by the Marshal, and purchased by
the railroad company, who paid for IL by
giving Gen. Buckner q credit on their
judgement. The personal property was
also sold, and The proceeds paid to The
railroad. By his parole Gen. Buckner,

centrate the dissatisfied and scatter
ing" and thereby contribute toward a
clearer hope of success. 1t is very
simple thing to talk about, bnt y most
difficult task to perform. Making
bricks without straw is easy work COM
pared to creating political candidates
without men. Can it be that it has the
material in abnn lance, bnto such mod
est retiring demeanor that the the. fame
thereof is confined to Tammnny Hall
or Vallandigham's bosom? Possibly,
tho we beg to be excused for entertain
ing contrary opinion. We havet how
ever, given the matter some attention,
and beg leave to suggest the name of
harmless old gentleman from Kentucky;
who has of late years been accorded the
pri ,ilege of contributing largely toward
filling the Congressional Globe. and
with equal success of enptying the
Senate Chamber at the same time. 1t
lis hardly necessary after this allusion to
mention the Hon. GarrettDav Then,
too, there is his excellency, the Presi-
dent, toward whom the party he has
served so faithfully exhibits a most
shameful ingratitude. The time was
when by the persuasive eloquence of its,
voice and the alluring sweetness of the
smile this Democratic party might have
tempted even our discreet Chief Justice
to pick up the gauntlet which Chicago
threw down. But we do not think him
the man to consent in the eleventh hour
to head the '.Lost Cause" nor to fly
in the face of the recent elections and
and invite defeat. We can heartily
sympathize with our opponents in view
of the double affection of being unable
to get rid of their present candidates,
and of having no suitable ones to fill
their places, should they yield to the
strong pressure and resign-which they |
probably won't. But, as with the man
whose mind is slightly confused with
liquor, the prevailing idea is, that ''it's
all right" so we recommend our friends /
to exercise faith no less sublime, and
submit to a philosophy which seems
just now to be imperative.

POLITICAL COURTESY.

When we commenced the issue of the
sMonitor" we distinctly stated that on
our part this political contest should he
conducted with the courtesy OF gentle
men. that in no case should our col
umns be disgraced with personal abuse
of the candidates OF the opposite party
or of those who are conducting their
canvass. To this rule we have rigidly
adhered, no instance can be shown OF u
departure from it, and we hope none
will to the end of the campaign. We
are proud to say our neighbor OF the
Journal has followed the same conrse,
a gentleman, an editor and politician
could not do otherwise. In contrast
with this has been the daily and weekly
issues of the Democratic organ of this
city, the Union County Herald Not a
day has passed that its columns have
not teemed with the lowest personal
abuse of our candidates, especially Sen
ator Clark not content with discussing
political differences, which are fair le-
gitimate subjects of newspaper com
ment, the Herald has persistently ridi-
culed and personally insulted gentle
man who has shown himself far more
than "Aayf man in the good he has
done in this community, and the bene-
fit he has been to this city. But more
than this, last Saturday the Herald
made step still lower in degradation,
naming personally and Extensively gen
tlemen who are highly esteemed in this
community by men of all parties, who
seek no office, but who are conscien-
tiously laboring in this political con
test. because they feel the best interests
of the country will be subserved by the
success of the Republican party and
the defeat of Southern rebels and their
Northern sympathizers and allies. To
name personally and Extensively such
men is meanness now hardly expected
of the Herald, and one not sympathized
with by the respectable class of its
readers, as we know from personal as
surances. If the editor is determined
to utterly and entirely forfeit the char
acter of gentlemen in the community
he need only go in this course and his
success is sure. We shall discuss mea-
sures and men, so long as respectable
men are nominated for office, and shall
not, as we fear he will, be ashamed to
look gentleman in the face when the
is over.

aeA,, Our neighbor, the Herald, with
characteristic perspicuty and elegance,
cheers it readers with an assurance of
prospects Of a more brighter" (sic)
kind, and by way of explaining away
the Democratic defeat in Pennsylvania,
gives despatch from Philadelphia, to
the effect that 200 Radicals, from this
your city, were there, voting early
and often and all that sort of thing.
We regret that our neighbor did not
give the names of those 200 Radicals,
that they might be held up to the scorn
and punishment they so richly deserve.
If he will furnish the names, we will
engage to put them through vigorous
courseof sprouts in double quick time.

STRAWS.

1t seems q little odd that the New
York World should intimate such a
thing as change OF candidates at this
late hour. 1t indicates painful regret
that the Tammany Hall convention
should have allowed itself to be engi
neered by the most bitter and unrepent-
ant of rebels; that it should have sub
mitted to the arbitrary dictation OF the
South as of old the Democratic party
was wont to do. and thus have forfeited
all its chances of success. 1t is q tacit
confession of weakness, wherein all
hope seems to fade, and the prestige of
other days to be shorn of its power.
But it at least has the virtue OF origi-
nality, for we believe that in all our po-
litical history this suggestion of the
Manhattan Club philosophers 1--WE mean
the editor OF the World has no prece-
dent-at all events it was never deemed
wise enough to adopt. 1t was at first
limited at very vaguely and very timidly
but there was an underlying suspic-
ion of can1or, and the idea gained cur
rency that there was more earnestness
in the thought than the surface reveal
ed. But we are not so much puzzled at
the abstract proposition as we are to
discover its pertinency at this time.
Forlom hopes are often necessary, but
are only resorted to in a great and final
emergency Even then they exhibit
only folly unless in some brave, true
heart they recognize n leader and follow
him. But in our greatest charity for a
weaker foe, and with the most generous
disposition to give him the benefit of
all doubts on the subject we cannot in
Justice to our conscience think other
wise than that the Democratic party is
reduced to Il most humiliating poverty
of men and brain capable of leading it.
We cannot recall a single name around
which it can rally with any encouraging
omens, that is in the Northern States.
Those old leaders who were its strong
est supporters before the war. and our
fiercest enemies during the war, now
take the reins as naturally as if from
birth they inherited the right to guide
its destinies Its Northern branch Ia
sort of brevet Ku Klux Klan) finds Sey
mour like Apollo
with hair aud harpstlings Of gold,
A bitter god to follow, beautiful god
to behold"
In voting for him they reach the mar
Gin Of their endurance. and we cannot
suppose therefore that genuine South
elner would be even as available as he,
/ We have no doubt that as the case now
i stands, many Democrats who would
vote the straight ticket on strictly parti
IAN issues, intend quietly to support
Grant for the Presidency. OF course
then il is natural to infer that for al
Improvement of their ticket Northern
man must be sought out who can con
