3 A PERFECT SuocEss.-The Radicals say
that reconstruction is a success. Here is
one instance. The present police board are
Radicals. In carrying out the reconstruction
scheme they have appointed two negroes to
one white man on the force. But the time
comes when the city is in an uproar, and the
services of policemen are needed. Then
these Radicals-these representatives of the
party whose doctrine is that loyal negro is
In every way the superior of an honorable
white man who had the bravery TO fight for
his principles-these disciples of the creed
that the loyal blacks ought to be above the
Southern whites, and are able to take that
position-these men at once discharge every
colored man from the force, and put in. their
places the very men whom they have
declared to be unfit to govern themselves
when everything at once quiets down. And
reconstruction is success.

The Republican says that in the face OF
the certain election of Gen. Grant, it is use
less to talk of the 'so-called government OF
Louisiana Then the Republican means
that the election of Gen. Grant is equivalent
to the reduction of Louisiana to state Of
provincial vassalage-to the re-establishment
of military supremacy as the only means OF
supporting the existing State authorities.
What can be more complete justification of
the assertion that the actual government is
not the government of the people of Louisi-
ana, but thing entirely separate and apart,
except so far as it may be endowed with the
power to domineer over them? Such gov
eminent is usurpation. Such government
is "so-called government, and nothing
else. We call things by their right names,
whether Gen. Grant likes it or not.

PURCHASE OF CHURCH.-The Boston
Pilot says: We are glad to learn that New
Hampshire is not behind the other otates
of the Union in the progress of our holy
religion. We have heard with pleasure
that a splendid stone church has been lately
bought from the Professionals of New Market,
by the Rev. Canon Walsh, pastor of Exeter,
n. II. The church formerly belonged to
the Congregational denomination, and is in
an excellent state of preservation. The
pcws are all we'll painted, and several of
them are covered with comfortable hair
cushions. 1t is situated on q very forty
position, and supplies want long felt by
also glad to learn that Canon Walsh is
building fine, substantial wooden church
for the good and devout congregation OF
Rochester, N. H., which lac expects to have
completed by Christmas Day. When we
add to the above improvements the many
temperance and religious societies estab'
lished throughout his extensive mission
we must conclude that his spiritual charge
is in a most fourishing condition.

A FABLE.-A young man picked up u
sovereign lying in the road. Ever after
wards as he walked along, he kept his eyes
steadfastly on the ground, in hopes of find
ing another. And, in the course of a long
life, he did pick up, at different times, a
good amount of gold and silver. But all
these days, as he was looking for them, he
saw not that heaven was bright above him,
and nature beautiful around. He never
once allowed his eyes to look up from the
mud and filth in which he sought the
treasure; and when he died, rich old man,
he only knewthis fair earth of ours as dir
ty road to pick up money as you walk along.

host, who had followed me, that l should


visit him on my return.
Having completed my business in Quinn

across to the old castle which had 80 inter-

bras-as the castle is called caught thet
clear tones of bell that rang out distinctly
through the morning air. The distant for
est was hidden with fog, the dew shimmered
on the highway, and the stones and grass
at either side; but the walls and battle,
ments, lighted by the morning sun, stood
out in relief against the sky. The bell
ceased as I reached the spot. The old host
came forward and said, with friendly
greeting:

too late He has gone to his everlasting

elbow was it that death overlook him SO
suddenly - Interrupted.
"On the very first day that he came here,
the day you saw him, he complained OF

slight indisposition, but in the same night
Claudine knocked at my door and begged
me to go over, as he continued to grow
worse! Claudine is the youngest OF the

them, he raised himself up on the couch
like a ghost-I shall never forget the
ight-spasmodically stretched his arm in
the direction whence came the voice, and
then sank back upon the bed. What
occurred afterward did not witness; but
Claudine told me, under promise of Sc
crecy, that it was her father who, moved
by jealousy, had, with two other men, since
dead, attacked the count, and put out hit
eyes. Claudine's father threw himself
moaning, on the pilgrims couch, and

raised himself up for an instant, laid hi

I followed the host into the old, crum

THE FALSE AND THE TRUE.-Perverted
as are most of the views of the New York
Independent upon religion and politics, it
sometimes has glimpses of the truth, as
will be seen by the following remarks on
some phases of Episcopalianism:
=, When we become 80 credulous as to be-
lieve that any mortal man has power to
forgive an immortal soul its sins, and when,
seeking dissolution, we conclude to betake
our way to priest, we shall g i've our pref
erence to the old fashioned, genuine, auric-
ular confession of the Roman Catholic
Church, rather than to the new-fangled,
apish confessional which has just been in
troduced into certain Episcopal churches of
this city.
The writer then largely quotes from an
article in the Catholic World, which he
cllls "able," showing /" that there is quite a
party IN tie Episcopal Ch"rch rhich upholds
the practice of amicular con fession and seeks
to extend it," and concludes by saying:
So, by all means, if we are to have abso-
| luton from any mortal man, let us haVe 1T
from the Pope Plus, rather than from
Bishop Potter. We are in the habit OF
regarding both these gentlemen/as very
| like the same miserable sinners with our
selves; but, if we are to be- cajoled by
either, let it be by the more renowned,
| antique, ana venerable OF the Two iuheVion
aries.
Accordingly, we find ourselves entirely
agreeing with the good-tempered and genial
writer whom we have been quoting, in a
passage which we hereto append as if it
were our own:
In what/w we have said, we make no &C
,, cusations/ against the good intentions OF
these Protestant confessors, for whom we

Seymour.

Far be it from our desire to insult a
fallen man; but we cannot forbear to
say that, in the defeat Of Horatio Sey-
mOur, the people of the United States
have done a greater act of justice than
they intended. Their objections to him
were in his friends and his policy.
They did not generally know that the
man himself is a sniVeler, q hypocrite, a
coward and q trimmer, whom to cell a
patriot or a statesman is to do him hon.
or he never deserved. A "ChristiRn
Democrat - whose Oblmse moral sense
could never be disturbed by the system
ofslavery he that defended;a Union man
who would have accepted the Mont
gomery constitution as the basis of sec
ttonal harmony; a loyal man, ever in
readiness to apologize for dtsloyaltyi q
self constituted champion Of the Re
public'a financial honor, who sold out
to those who would dishonor the Re-
public: a friend of Chase until he was
paid by q nomination to betray that
friendship; the prOfessed advocate OF
peace until his interest impelled him TO
make common cause with those who
are for another war; q phrase maker by
trade, with rare power of instnuating q
lie that he dhres not tell in terms;
politician by choice, using only a poll
ticianis arts and contemning the high
er instruments oftruth and reason;
statesman who Is a special pleader aud
nothing more; cold, bloodless, clam-
my man of no conscience, but with inor-
dinate ambition, submitting to be the
instrument of others to do those things
which he has not the courage to do upon
his own impulsion-what an escape the
country has had in his disgraceful de-
feat. The steadfastness Of Grant, his
truth, his singleness Of purpose, his few
but weighty words, his unquestionable
fidelity to his cause and his friends, his
lofty patriotism illustrated by his brill
liant deeds-how they are illuminated
by the contrast which Seymour affords.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WAsHINGTolS, Nov. 6, 1868.
M Dear Grant:
After the 4th of next March shall be
an humble individual. I coaxed Sey-
mour to 90 out on that trip, feeling
sure that his journey would give you a
larger majority in each Of those States.
I took a trip myself IN 1866, and know
what came of it. There is nothing to
help a vote better than this swinging
round the circle business. L have stood
by the Constitution and Union. Icom-
nit to your hands the Constitution and
the flag with thirty-six stars. My
sands of life have nearly run out.
have been Alderman of my native VII
lage, Member of Congress, Governor Of
the State, Senator, Vice President and
President. / ask nothing for myself,
but there are few honest men COM
mend to your attention. Mr.. Perry
Fuller, in New Orleans, should by all
means be kept in his place. Mr.. .HenryA.
Smythe, in New York, would make a
good Secretary of the Treasury. ] espe-
Cially beg that you will not disturb Mr..
Fessenden's relatives who now hold Of
fee, nor interfere with the contracts of
Mr.. Ross and Mr.. Hend erson. You
see, Grant, old fellow that we Presi-
dents have got to keep our bargains
and il would be mighty rough on a
man when he goes back to Tennessee to
find his successor going back on him.
Yours A-w IN.
