A NEW SONG.

The Democratic press of the country
have already begun course of fuisome,
nauseating adultation of the President
elect. The man who, but the other day,
was ''brutal butcher" q "miserable
drunkard,'' s'contemptible liar mis-
cegenationist,' a 'scoundrel,' and many
other things neither elegant nor desira-
bic, has suddenly become a man of libe-
ra'views and generous sentiments He
is, moreover, possessed of "a sincere de-
sire. for peace and national unity and
he has the most splendid opportunity 'to
make reputation as a civilian more en-
during than his military renown,'
The Indianapolis Sentinel sings the
above dulcet notes, following the lead of
Vallsndigham, and is happy to call to
mind that q year ago General GRANT
could just a. well have been the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency, as
he subsequently became the Republi-
can" The same paper is consoled to
remember that "GRANT's antecedents are
Democratic. His political education and
sympathies were with the old school
Democracy" And if he will only sssteer
clear from party t.emmels''-by which the
Saxt'lak means, if he will only follow the
example of John Ty Ter and A. johnson
-''the Democratic party will give him
as generous support as the party whose
votes elected him, but whose candidate
he was from necessity, not from choice"
What boundless generosity! But sup
posing General GRANT should not ..steer
clear of party trammels," but should ad-
here to the principles 'of the party whose
votes elected him. what then? What
do you propose to do abou. it? We i'm
agine you will be obliged to submit to
the powers that be, for we have made
assurance doubly sure, and taken a
bond of fate. by electinga Vice Plesi.
dent whom no Democratic Booth will be
induced to promote to the Presidency.
II the Democratic party wants peace,
it can have it on easy terms. It will,
however, be required to drop its popular
amusement of numbering Southern Un-
ionists, white and black, and must learn
that the rights of citizens will be pro-.
tected on every part of American soil
if the lives Of every Democratic rebel in
the Union have to be sacrificed in secur-
ing this result. Nothing less than this.

party by whose uotes he Was elected

Work for Congress!

The Republican Congress has much
to do at the approaching session. 1t
must neither trife nor dawdle-sitting
an hour and half day for three or four
days in a week, taking two weeks va
cation at the holidays, and doing moth
ing except in the hurry of the last
twenty-four hours. 1t must meet it's re-
sponsibilities in prompt and manly
way. It has no end of serious and pres
sing work.
The financial condition of the country
must be fairly looked in the face, and
treated in statesmanlike spirit. All
that is neeful to finish up the work of
reconstruction at the South must be
promptly and fairly done. Our system
Of taxation must be revised, and es-
pecially the organization for executing
the internal revenue laws. A thoroughly
rotten, inefficient, needlessly expensive
Indian Department must be completely
remoleled and purified. Wasteful leak
ages must be stopped, and worthless
officials got rid Of. A brave and perse-
vering spirit Of reform must be awak-
ened in every branch of the Government
The duties of governing, in a word, can
not any longer be safely shirked'
but must be ergetically undertaken.
These, in our Judgment, are the les
sone that should be m os deeply impress
sed upon the minds of the successful
party, even in these hours Of rejoicing
We fear that, of all others. they are the
ones which are most likely to be post
poned and finally forgotten, unless again
and again forced upon the attention of
those whose position enables them either
to destroy or to perpetuate the sway of
the Republican party.
There will be no division of responsi
bility with Democratic executive. With
the Legislative and Executive branches
Of the Government working harmo
niously, both bent on reducing public
expenses to the lowest point, we may
confidently look for important reforms
in the civil service of the General Gov
ernment.
With peace throughout the land, based
on absolute justice and freedom. finan
cial prosperity based on national honor.
and the practice Of economy in the va
rious departments of the Government.
the nation has now entered upon a new
and glorious career. Never WAS the tri
umph of the right more signal. and the
promise Of benefcent consequences more
certain than in the present instance.

making their policy the overthrowing of
all the achievements OF the war, and the
relieving OF the Confederates from all
the conditions that were imposed for the
settlement Of peace. A division or re-
organization Of parties on affairs of ad
ministration was not possible under the
pressure of this great issue of peace and
war; Otherwise there might have been
disintegration that would have greatly
changed the faces of parties; for the Re
publican party has not been perfect Il
has committed blunders in revenue mat
ters; it has lacked positive ideas on Fl
nance, currency and taxes, and it has
failed ta-institute the radical system of
retrenchment and reform that the public
emergency demanded.
This is no afterthought to US, for our
practice is to deal unsparingly with tho
faults af Our friends in Congress, while
in session. And so sharply did we re-
count the short comings Of the Republi-
can majority when they talked Of al
journing Immediately after ent,
leaving the pressing necessities of re-
trenchment and reform of corruption
unacted upon, that the democratic organ
Of this city was shocked at such style
of criticising ones own party, and re-
buked US for our freedom. But the
Democratic managers have allowed us
no alternative save to support Repubi-
cans, for they determined shat the issue
should be either government by the Re-
publican party, or destruction Of gov
ernment by the Democratic.
And in matters Of finance and irren-
cy, the schemes Of the Democracy were
only devices to carry out their original
determination to repudiate all obliga-
tions incurred in subduing the rebellion.
The Democratic leaders merely changed
their reputation of the bonded debt
20 q scheme to transfer it to currency
while the loss to the country by this wild
imitation and then sinking of values
would be vastly more than the amount
Of the debt The Democratic rebellion
burdens and grave difficulties, reaching
into every department Of administration.
Unity of opinion is not to be expected,
but if the Democratic party will now
come up in good faith to the work of es-
tablishing such financial measures as
will keep the public faith and best dis
tribute the burden; such currency meas
ures as will best relieve the people from
the evils of a shifting standard of value;
will CO operate in the work of radical
retrenchment Of the public expenses,
and Of roofing out the corruption that
threatens the very life of the nation, they
will bring in the era of political good
feeling. and then the political millennium
will dawn.-Cin Gaz.

OUR LITTLE GHOST.
From Merry's Museum for November.

From Merry's Museum for November.
OFT, in the silence of the night,
When the lonely moon rides high,
When the wintery winds are whistling,
And we hear the OWLS shrill cry,
In the quiet, dusky chamber,
By the Pickering freight.
Rising up between two sleepers,
Comes . spirit all in white.
A winsome little ghost it il,
Rosey checked and bright of eye;
With yellow curles all breaking loose
From the small cap pushed awry.
Up it climbs among the pillows,
For the ''big dark" brings no dread,
And . baby's boundless fancy
Makes . kingdom of bed.
A fearless little ghost it 10;
Safe the night seems as the day;
The moon is but gentle face,
And the signing winds are gay;
The solitude is full Of friends,
And the hour brings no regrets;
For in this happy little soul
Shines sun that never sets.
A merry little ghost it is,
Dancing gaily by itself,
On the fowery counterpane,
Like . tricksy household elf;
Nodding to the ftful shadows,
As they flicker on the wall;
Talking to familiar pictures,
Mimicking the OWLS shrill call.
A thoughtful little ghost it is;
And when lonely gambols tire,
With chubby hands on chubby knees.
lists winking at the fire.
Fanciss innocent and lovely
Shine bef re those baby eyes,
Endless fields of dandelions,
Brooks and birds, and butterflies.
A loving little ghost it is:
When crept into its nest,
lts hand on fathers shoulder laid,
Its head on mother sbresst,
Il watches each familiar face,
With . tranquil, trusting eye;
And, like = sleepy little bird,
Sings its own soft lullaby.
Then those who feigned to sleep before,
Lest baby play till dawn,
Wake and atch their folded flower
Little rose without thorn.
And, in the silence Of the night,
The hearts that love it most
Pray tenderly above its sleep,
"God bless our little ghost!''
L. N. ALoorf.

lars.
At about two O'Clock yesterday morning nre
broke out in the steam planning and saw mill on
the north side of 12sth street. between Second and
Third avenues, owned by M. Doughty. The COM
bustibes in the mill caused rapid spread OF
the fire. and in a very short time the whole build
ing was enveoped in flames. The upper part OF
the building was occupied by David Brown, sash and
blind manufacturer. The entire property was de-
stroyed The names also soon communicated to row
of Ave two story frame dwellings on 129th street and
to q five story brick tenement, all OF which were
totally destroyed, the occupants only having sufficient
time to remove part OF their household enects.
The frame buildings were owned by Mr.. Brown,
whose loss will be $4,000; insured for $4,000 only.
Mr.. Browns loss on stock and machinery in his
factory will he about $4,000; no insurance. The
value Of the mill building and the machinery was
$4,000; insured for $6500 in out Of town and city
insurance companies.
The brick tenement Is owned by B. Richardson:
loss $1,000; partly insured. three story brick
dwelling house, owned and occupied by William
Weed, was damaged to the extent OF S. 900; insured
for $4,000 in the Citizens Relief and Rutgers lnsur-
ance Companies. The lire is supposed to have been
accustomed by accident.
The New York herald., 1868-04-02

to which the writer comes is that the financial
and political credit Of France has fallen lowo
than In 1859; that the "internal condition OF
the country is characterized by general EN-
barrassment which is turning to misery" and
that "there remains for France no choice be-
tween reform and bankruptcy"
If such be the actual condition of France
and we have no reason to doubt that it is-it is
not difficult to discover sufficient and satisfac-
tory reasons for the appearance at this parti-
cular juncture Of the Napoleon pamphlet The
elections are rapidly approaching. In spite
Of the Emperor's reforms France is suffer-
ing and dissatisfied from one end to the
other. The new army bill is everywhere
most reluctantly submitted to. Bread
riots always alarming in France, are only
kept down by military force. The Emperor,
growing old and feeble in health, trembles, not
without reason, for the future of his dynasty
With France in such condition as she now is
an Empress Regent and sickly boy would be
feeble guardians of throne. The throne is,
no doubt, safe enough 80 long as the Emperor
remains to protect it, but all his skill, and
more than all his skill, will, we fear, be needed
to transmit it safe to his son and heir. His
pamphlet is not ill-timed; but while it is GER
tain to bring him trouble, it is doubtful whether
it will accomplish all he intended.
