The Tribune says in reference to the
nomination Of Judge Chase for the Pres
idency by the Democrats: Lions have
been known to lie down with lambs, and
Tammany has seen in the happy FAINT
ly at Barnum's Museum how animals
appointed by nature to hate each other
to the end, have, by little policy,
been brought to the most cddifying
and pathetic attachment. Having gone
thus far, they must have seen the neces-
sity Of a reform in the Democratic par
ty. When nation Of canibals invites
clergyman to become its king, its first
atep, of course, must be to give up
man eating; and, if the Democrats really
desire Mr.. Chase, they are certainly
ready to take the negro to their arms
and 60 in for the payment of the debt.
By the extent of such a sacrifice, we
may know the value they place upon the
Chief Justice. They can only get him
for their candidate by giving up the
worst, and therefore the most import
ant articles of their creed.

4 New WAY TO Grow PoTAToEs.-
The Louisville Democrat has made q
most important agricultural discovery
which we give as follows:
Irish potatoes in great quantities can
be grown by any one having four by
eight feet of spare ground in their back
yard. The process is simple: Procure
crate, such as china-ware is imported
in, and place in the bottom about six
inches of straw, then drop potatoes on
this surface, say six inches apart; then
sick inches of straw, and then more po-
totoes, and so on, until the crate is full.
Wet the contents of the crate thorough
ly, and every evening afterward throw
a bucket full of water ever the top sur
face. The potatoes will grow and pro-
duce abundantly. When they are large
enough to be eaten they can be easily
drawn out and will be found to be per-
fectly white with q very thin skin. The
writer of this article has seen them cul-
tivaled successfully on board an ocean
steamer. -.5
Articles of association have been filed
in the Office of Secretary Of State for
the Incorporation of the American Cen
trail Railroad Company, with capital
stock of $4,000. 0eO, in shares of $50
each. The proposed road is to. run
from Fort Wayne to Lacon, Marshall
County, Illinois, and will pass into or
through! the counties OF Allen. Whitley,
Kosciusko, Fulton, Pulaski. Jasper, and
Newton in Indiana. The length OF the

Lot S. Bayless, Pleny Hoag.and Philo
Rumsey, Sol. D. Bayless, Robert G.
Fleming and William Fleming of Fort

The Indianapolis Journal says it is
stated that the report of the special

been spirited away, and that not sim

WIRE IN AND WIRE OUT"

The Democracy wind in and out sc
often that ii is hard to keep pace with
or exactly locate their principles or pol
icy. They were for paying the bonds
with greenbacks and making the green
backs to pay the bonds. This would
have increased the volume of the cur
rency from four hundred millions OF
dollars to twenty five hundred millions,
and would have brought ruin upon all
the greas interests Of trade and com
MERGE and upon the laboring people.
This proposition was aptly called "sugar
coating Reputation" The coating was
SO thin that the people turned from the
scheme with horror and disgust. The
policy was then modified to pay in law
full money, keeping in the back ground
the policy of starting the printing ma
chimes, making greenbacka enough to
pay tie bonds and the operatives for
running the machines" But even this
modification of the original Pendleton
scheme does not seem to work well.
The party in the Eastern States, headed
by Mr.. Belmont and Mr.. Horatio Sey-
mour, will have none of it, and insist
upon having candidate unconnected
with the Pendlcton swindle. During
this change in the policy the Democrats
denounced bondho,ders as the ''aristoc-
racy," and as commentary upon this
they nominated two bondholders for
the highest offices in The state of Indi-
ana, and resolve to hold their National
Convention under the shadow of Wall
street.
The organization known as the
Grand Army Of the Republic, has been
bitterly denounced by the Democrats
and their press. There is 10 vile name
known which has not been freely APP
piled to the G. a. r. The vocabularies
of slang have been ransacked to furnish
vituperative abuse. The members have
been denounced as "sneaks' ''pot-
hounds,' hospital rangers" and 'cow
ards," convening in secret for anything
and everything mean and vile. 1t
seems as if the Democracy have been
as consistent in regard to the G. A. r.
as TO the sbond aristocracy." They
nominated Gen. Reuben e. Kise for an
important State office, member of the
Grand Army of the Republic in good
standing. The quartermaster Of the
post at Lebanon. in comm unication
published in the Lebanon Patriot, states
was nominated By the Democrats. The
candidate for Governor of the $50
called" is a bondholder and barker.
The candidate for Lieutenant 6 Governor
is bondholder, and the candidate for
Secretary of State is member Of the
G. A.-Madison Courier.

How to Judge a Man.

A mans guagc can generally be told by his treatment of, and opinions con- corning women. If it is kindly, res pcctful and dignitied, he is sure to be a decent, good, chivalrous man, and may be depended upon in word and deed. If he treats her with all manner of sights, in islander of the sex, or listens quietly while others utter it; if his mouth is always full of depreciating remarks, then he is unmistakably rot ten somewheres, in this matter, is like ly to be so everywhere in time and most likely the time will be short. Women have their faults; as sex they have their exceptionally bad members {; they are even sometimes weak and wicked; but as whole thing are cmi- nently worthy the idolatry the best men have extended to them, and who- SO taketh any other view do not SO much injure women as themselves. The meanest specimen of animated creation is man who improves as is often heard every occasion to abuse, falsify, and malign women. He is both knave and fool,

What Congress Is Responsible fOr.

The Cincinnati Gazette, Radical sheet, has the following:
 But, while financial charlatanism is thus tinkering the funds of the nation, the Republican party is held responsi- blc, by the people, for these courses and these results. It has to answer for not less than twenty-four millions os gold squandered, during the last three years, in interest on the unnecessary surplus, and in sacrifices to promote speculations on the gold market. Con- Treasury moneys and of the funds in hands which would break down any party. And what has it received for this trust? A new funding bill, with declaration that all its previous fund.- ing was cheat; construction of the obligation of the bonds now, which, last fall, the same great public finan- cier declared would be repudiation-a confession that the contraction of the currency which spread bankruptcy over the business of the country was a blunder, and brought us no nearer to specie payment, and that the true way is to inflate the currency again; and a plan for financial perpetual-motion, by which there shall be a constant ac- ton and reaction of bonds and legal tender notes, to the amount of two hundred and fifty millions.

The Negro Equality outrage.

An Englishman's house is his castle. Except in cases of felony, Majesty it. self pauses at the bolted door. Laws that governed a nation from the days of Runnymede-that have survived the wars and revolutions of two continents that arc as Inherent to tho Anglo Saxon as his life blood, and which he brought With him into the wilderness of America, are now threatened for the first time in history by the barbarian governments of the Southern States. The people of the South have yielded without murmur all the political rights and privileges demanded of themi they have accepted degradation, until at last their social Integrity Is ac- tually imperiled. No sane man, not a villain Or bigot will maintain that it is the province of political law to reg ulate anybody's social relations In fact, laws should be framed in strict obedience to them. The plot now un- der way, to be capped by the opprobi- otis and disgusting negro equality bill, is therefore ih plain and direct viola ton of the laws Of God, the rights of mankind, and the Constitution of our country. So cunnihgly has this scheme been worked that every resisting stay has been quietly torn from us. The militia bill, recently passed, gives legal authority to any military negro organ ization that may exist in the communi- ty. The police bill, rushed through with such unseemly haste, secures to them that branch of the public service, while both are auxiliary to that giant iniquity, the negro equality bill. If we judge the people of Louisiana aright; If we judge white human na- ture alright, the provisions of this bill can never be inforced. The prison does not standthat could hold s white man in its walls for defending his so- cial integrity. No human power ever invoked in this or any other age, can enforce obedience to such an infamy. Better flee the country like pestilence, and let the wolves howl in the market place-better seek the snows of Sibc- ria, or the trackless woods of some un- settled domain-than thus yield what nothing less than Deity has right to demand. Even the negroes, in their blind, foolhardy legislation, will soon find there is no rose without a thorn. They should pause ere they force every individual white man into a position where he will be obliged to shelter and protect his family and social rights in obedience to the instincts received from his Maker, and to whom only he is accountable for them. A quiet, firm resistance to this usurpation must be maintained for few short months, until the country is finally and fully redeemed through the agency adopted by the Democratic party. Grant claims to desire peace; if his negro and white supporters here carry mat ters to the dangerous extreme in which forbearancc ceases to be virtue, on them be the responsibility. Let the conservatives be cautious, yet firm ; conciliatory, yet consistently. o. sr;,noc

Forgot his Name.

A conceited fellow by name of Head, in making New Years calls in cer- tain city, made the acquaintance of a young lady upon whom he fattered himself he had effected a very decided impression. He felt that he was ire sistible to the sex, anyhow, but in this particular instance he was confident that he had accomplished complete conquest. Not to be too cruel to the damsel whom he imagined to be lan- gushing over his absence, he called upon her again after the new year was a week or so old. That he might feast upon the surprise and joy she would evince on discovering who her caller was, he reffaincd from giving his name to the servant who answered his ring, but instructed her to tell Miss-that a very particular friend desired an in- terview. He was ushcred into the parlor, and after a brief delay the young lady whom he supposed to be rapidly approaching dissolution on his account, entered.
 She paused on the threshold and looked embarrassed. He expected that, but contrary to his expectations, no blush of emotion or gleam of recog- milton, even, lighted her coontenance.
 Don't you remember mel" said he, putting on the smile which he imagin- ed had melted her young and suscepti- ble heart upon their first meeting. "Yoh know I called here last New Years with a party in four-horse sleigh?"
 "Oh, yes,' said the young lady, who didn't appear in the least crushed with the recollection, q remember. Your face did look familiar, but as for your name-"
 Don't you remember my name ?" in- quired the heart-pulvcrizer, with an air of deep chagrin.
 q have almost got it," said the lady, with apuzzled smile. "It isn't Brown ?"
 "No indeed. But really, madam, this is not very flattering to me, your forgetting my name. imagined that had made decided impression,'
 "So you did, so you did," the lady hastened to say. Strange that your name should have escaped me, though. was thinking of 1t just before you rang. Don't tell mo what it's. shall think of it in minute. Really, this Is quite mortifying; what has become of memory?" and she trotted her pretty little foot impatiently on the carpet. "But let me give you hint" said Mir. Head, whose modification was rapidly increasing.
 "Well, just give me little hint. I should think of it Tn Q minute anyhow just the least hint in the world will do."
 "Now, then, what do carry on my shoulders querried Head. A moments puzzled reelection, then her face brightening up, she advances toward him with outstretched hand, and cordially exclaims-
