/ once knew q man who was a Grip
tple. In childhood he had become par
alyzed, to some extent, from his Ups
down, and he had to crawl upon his
hands and drag his legs after him.
His body and his arms were we'll de-
veloped. He did a great deal of hard
work. have seen him cutting cord
wood at the furnaces. He had a low
stool, and he would crawl to tree,
dragging his ak and stool after him.
He would sit upon his stool and cut a
tree down. Then he would sit by the
side of the log and cutit of. He bought
eighty acres of land, and became one
of the thrifty farmers of Jefferson town
ship. While stout, healthy men were
as poor as Lazarus, James earns was
in measure independent.
l have known boys to be sent to the
best schools, academies and colleges,
until they were twenty one years of
age, and then 60 into the world igno-
rant, worthless drones; while the boy
who had to labor, and only got time to
study at night, and on rainy days, be-
| came the successful business man, And
so on.
The cause Of all this is, that the boy
or man who knows that he possesses
health, wealth and means, rests con-
tented, while he who sees the difficult
ties in his path, makes determined eff
fort to surmount them.
What is true of individuals is true Of
parties; for parties are only aggregations
of individuals Whenever party set
ties down in the belief that it is certain
of success, it is in the greatest danger
of defeat. Did you ever read the fable
of the tortoise and the hare7 They
agreed upon a race. Both started,
The hare bounded forward for a short
time, leaving the poor tortoise far be-
hind, slowly crawling along The hare
thought that it was useless to make
much effort, and concluded to stop and
take rest and a short sleep. The tor
toise kept crawling along, passed the
hare while it slept, and when the hare
awoke and ran to the end of the race it
found the tortoise already there.
Nearly every Republican with whom
l talk upon the subject of the coming
campaign, is certain of success. | fear
this feeling will be the cause of our de-
feat. Tickets do not elect themselves.
1t takes work. Let every Republican
act as though he knew we lacked one
vote Of majority, and the securing Of
that individual vote depended upon
him alone, and let him go to work to
secure that one vote from the Democ-
racy. Then will our victory be a sure
and glorious one. D. M.

eEWe have entered upon the ex-
citement of another electoral cam
paign for the next Presidency. One
of thegreat political parties has pre-
sented its candidates to the country,
and it is admitted on all sides, by op-
ponents no less than by friends, that it
is an uncommonly strong ticket. The
name of Grant is endeaFed to all who
during the war desired the restoration
of the Union, and it will be difficult for
the opposition to find man who will
command as enthusiastic support from
his party as is given by the Republi-
cans to Grant. 1t is remarkable that
papers of influence, like the New York
Herald and World, should seriously
recommend to the opposition Chief
Justice Chase as fit candidate. The
acceptance of Mr.. Chase and his prin-
ciples by the Democratic party would
be the abandonment Of all old issues. -

NO DaYid D. Exnna,

In answer to your question, whether the am
davit filed against you in bastardy constitutes
you guilty in the eye of the law until the allie
cation is disproved, we can only say Tha. an
affidavit in bastardy is the first step in proceed
ings to test the guilt of the party accused, by
issuing warrant and giving the defendant his
day in trial. If he is not arrested and thus put
on his defense, the presumption would be in his,
favor instead of against him thai she presump-
tion of The law is, that a person is innocent nm
til convicted. Therefore you have no means Of
making a defense against such thing, and can
Cauce whatever - -

a thorough organization of the county,
and until the County Convention is

can have no thorough organization.
These are our reasons for calling the
Convention early While the Demo
Gratis are wrangling among themselves
about Presidential candidate, deliber-
ating whether they had better nominate
q Republican or a Democrat, let us put
the machinery in order by thoroughly
organizing for the election of our en-
tire ticket.
We hope the primary meetings will

in st. Louis Co. Mo-, so he will have

Bro. MACKLEY's New IIEAD.-Wc
do not mean by this heading that the
Editor of the Jackson STANDARD has a
new head or even needs one. On the
contrary he has shown that he has that
article pretty we'll established, but his
paper comes to us greatly improved
with new one, and is a handsomely
printed as we'll as a we'll edited paper
The STANDARD is "very peculiar" in
many respects. 1t shows the idiosyn-
cracies of its editor more than any
other of our exchanges. He is in favor
of all the reform movements of the day,
such as anti-smokiDg, anti-drinking,
woman's rights,-&c.->Y Yet bis articles
are all written with force and in excel
lent temper. Mr.. Mackley is evidently
a man of brain and backbone, who
"knowing his rights dares maintain
them," having been tried on several
occasions and not found wanting in
moral courage. The STANDARD is truly
an independent newspaper, run on a
plan peculiar to its editor, yet it is in
teresting and influential. We would
like to drop a word softly into the Ed
itor's ear, and we hope he will take it
kindly we fear he has not yet learned
the meaning of that slang but express
i've phrase, that: "Bis is Bis."--Chilh-
cOthe Gazette
We do not understand the conclu-
ding portion of the above. Of course
we would stake it tkindly" if we under
stood iti but being entirely ignorant Of
the use of slang expressions, we have
no idea in the world what the editor is
driving at.

Times Changes.

A few months ago we were urging
the nomination of Salmon p. Chase as
the Republican candidate for President
of the United States. Many of our CO.
temporaries of the Republican persua-
sion were urging Gen. Grant. We
were opposed to Gen. Grant mainly be-
cause we were not sure that he was rad
ical enough to suit us. Another rea-
son was, because many Democratic
papers were urging him as the Demo-
cratic candidate, We thought this
looked suspicious. We remember par
ticularly that the Pomeroy Banner, a
Democratic paper, had the name of
Gen. Grant at the head of its editorigl
columns as Democratic candidate for
President.
Well, times have changed, and men
have changed with them. The last
number of the Banner has an editorial,
in answer to what we said, flavor of
the honesty of Gen. Grant, land fasrs
thatif elected, he may bed pe hili-
tary despot The Banner tgets that
Gen. Grant has pledged b hself, both
by words and deeds, to d Rs the peo-
pie desire him to do. Thh II true De-
mocraCy The idea that Ihe people will
become their own opp ssors is most
ridiculous. The man who submits to
the will of the people is Always a safe
man. tits your man who sets up a
policy, or will Of his own who is dan
gerous.
The Banner now opposes Gen. Grant,
and from an editorial, indorslng an ex-
tract from another paper, we are led to
believe that it favors Chase. And so
we have changed candidates. We are
satisfied if the Banner is. We have no
reason to doubt the political honesty Of
Gen. Grant Who believes that Mr..
Chase is to be trusted politically hereaf-
ter, since he has gone back upon bis
consistent record of the past thirty
years.
