There are some persons in every community
who are never satisfied with their own condition
or the state of affairs. BE the country prosper
Gus or stricken with oppression it is all the same,
they will not be satisfied. In times like the
present, it is not to be wondered at that such
persons are inconsolable We all felt the blow
recently afflicted most heavily, and could not at
once become cheerful; but how much better it is
to exhibit the elasticity which properly belongs
to the estate of man and summonng all our for
titude, calling to our aid the most fixed deter
mination, assuming our manly strength and again
placing ourselves under the guidance of hope,
rush forward with undauntcd front and eager
zest to encounter life as it comes, resolved to
attain that which we desire and equally prepared
for the reception of reverses. This idea of man
ly determination and cheertulness captivates our
senses, and We would rather die in such efforts
than live to drag out a long existence a-grum-
bier lVilmington Journal
The Journal is right Some people are de-
termined not to be cheerful and they don't like
anybody that talks encouragingly-they prefer
to see everybody in misery like themselves.
Unhappy people are those whose digestive organs
are out of order.

There is a great change of opinion as to the
result of the trial going on here. Parties
who early this week unhesitatingly admitted that
Mr. johnson would be convicted, now think he
will be acquitted, and the best informed gen
orally believe he will not be removed
The nomination of General Schofeld to be
Secretary of War caused great deal of specula-
,lon as to the Presidents motive or expectation of
effect upon the Senate. The object was to get
before the Senate the name of one against whom
no objection could be urged on political grounds
The objection that Mr. Ewing was opposed to
the Radicals had been made, and as the Presi-
dent desired to fully and squarely test the sim
eerity OF professions of senators who have said
they would like to get rid of Stanton, Mr. John
son nominated Schofeld who is not a politician.
and cannot consistently be objected to by the
Radicals on political grounds. 1t Is understood
that Schofeld will not decline the nomination.
Every county, but one, in Michigan, voted
against negro suffrage.
Vino. Rives, former T. s. Minister to France,
and at one time Senator from Virginia, died on

Gov. Sharkey and other Mississippians now in

is the prediction that that State will reject the
