20 seduce sx-so ldiers into Its fold but
has more use for them as hard work
ing patriots than as officers.
Quite different fate has awaited
soldier candidates Of the Republican
party. Probably not less than three
fourths of the Republican Governors
and other State officers, elected since
1863, have been meritorious soldiers,
and on all local tickets they have
been largely represented. 1t is not
an element of weakness in a Repub-
iican candidate that he is minus a leg
or an arm, shot off by rebel Demo-
Gratis, or that be has suffered torture
in the rebel prison pens of the South.
Republicans have taken a pride In
bestowing civil Offices upon men who
aud efficiently seryed their
country in the army. They have no
prejudices to conquer in casting their
votes for such candidates, and this
accounts for the opposite effect of
soldier nominations by the respective
parties. NN..r..t s..s r-,,r.
; There Is sill another cause why sol
diers do not run well as Democratic
candidates, and the Enquirer should
have taken that into account when
characterizing General McClellan's
nomination a weak and unfortunate
one. He was weighed down by the
the general disloyal attitude of his
party. All other soldier nominees of
the Enquirer party have suffered
from like causes. There has been so
much unadulterated apprehension
put on the ticket with them, that that
circumstance, in connection with the
public recollection of what Democra-
cy was during the war, has more than
counterbalanced the personal popu-
larity aud military services Of sol
diers who have been run as Demo-
rats.-Indidnypolis Journal

The Democracy and soldier NOmina-
- tfOns. - l. E

The Cincinnati Enquirer, Mr., Pen
dleton's home paper, has become
alarmed at the preference manifested
by the Southern and Eastern Demo
Gratis for General Hancock as, the
Democratic candidate for President.
Hoping to disa buse their minds OF the
idea that the Democratic party can
hope to ain anything by nominating
a soldier, it gives a resume of its mis-
fortunes with soldier cand idates, COM
mencing with General Mcclellan as
its eandidate for President in 1864,
and ending with the candidacy of
General Mahlou %. Manson for some
thing else, In Indiana, two years later.
After calling attention to the i'll for,
tune attending the nomination of sol
diers for national and State officers
by its party, the Enquire adds:
=. LOCALLY, we have also run many
military candidates-som all covered
over with honorable scars and wounds.

were adopted They declare that it
is the duty of the true friends of con-

principles Of Radicalism are incom-
patible with our free institutions;
that the late war originated in the
prevalence of extreme opinions and
disregard of the line of demarcation
between the Federal Constitution and
the reserved rights of the States and
people, and that to restore the Gov
ernment to the Democracy is the
proper way to secure a return to
the admirable syste of checks and
balances formerly existing; that the
Convention have confidence In the
NaIon1l Convention, to meet on the
Fourth of July, both as to candidates
and platform, and therefore express
no opinion as to either; that the Chi

gE- Gen. Butler is evidently prepar- ing the way for the leadership of the Southern negroes, to which he is said 10 aspire. Just before Congress ad- journed he got very much enraged with member who had spoken Of the ballot being taken from the blacks :; and, after saying that "all the powers of hell and death" could not take it away, he exclaimed that "whenever it was attempted, he wished his friends on the other side would go down and lead the army of nullification, and they would be welcomed in way that would make them understand that the negro had some of the attributes of men-to wit, the knowledge of their rights, courage to maintain them, and steadfastness never to yield them up. We deprecate this sort of clustering talk, as being as foolish and wicked in itself as it is damaging to the interests and welfare of the negroes. There are white demagogues in the Southern States who are constantly telling the blacks that in certain events they must fight. They must fight if this occurs, or if that does not occur-if the whites deny them any of their rights" or re- fuse to give them ashare of their lands, if the whites put forward any preten- sions to superiority, or fail to award the'negro all that he has been told pro- pcrly belongs to him. It is a shocking bad education for the blacks when we consider their antecedcnts, their char. acter and their necessary situation in the South.

Two Four Shoes.

Col. F., very irritable and impaz tient man, had occasion once, while passing on horseback through small town in the West, topatronize Dutch blacksmith. Id
 Are you the smith? he asked \. stout, black bearded, smoking dirtyl old man, who came out of the shop to look at the horses defective shoes.
 eYes. der smidt,' replied the Mein- heer, steadying his long pipe with his left hand, while he lifted one of the horses feet with his right. You wish to have de new shoesT
 No, sir said the Colonel in his quick way. Set the shoes of his fore feet, that's all.'
 Set de shoes on his four feet--yah, l ondcrstan. will hab him in von hour shoed.'
 The Colonel went away, and return ed at the appointed time, found the Dutch smith at work upon his horse. He was very wroth when he saw the state of affairs, but he went away again with the promise that fin von half hour longer the shoes would be set.
 After dinner, in no very mild humor, he made his appearcnce again at the shop, and asked what was to pay.
 -Four shillings,' was the reply.
 -Four Shillings! it's an imposition! !! tho farv Eolano1 q never paid over shilling for setting shoe in my lifel

 The Colonel replied stuttering worse than ever, the smith struck his fist and jabbered Dutch, his knowledge of English being exhausted :and they had 1t back and forth until mutual &C., quaintance came up and explained the matter. The Colonel paid the charge, laughing at the mistake, while Mein- heer smoked fiercely, cursing copious- ly the language that made four feet two feet, or two feet four feet, any way but the right way-doonder and blit- zen.

Always Beautiful.

At a festival party of old and young, the question was asked, Which sea- son of life is the most happy?" After being:freely discussed by the guests it was referred for answer to the host, upon whom was the burden of four score years, He asked if they noticed grove of trees before the dwelling, and said; When the spring comes, and in the soft air the birds are braking on the trees, and they are covered with blossoms, think--Iow beautiful is spring! And when the summer comes and covers the trees with its heavy foliage, and singing birds are all among the branches, think--How beautiful is summer! When autumn loads them with golden fruit, and their leaves bear that gorgeous tint of frost, I think-How beautiful is autumn l And when it dis sore winter, and there is neither foliage or fruit, then look up, and through the leaiiess branches, as I could never, until now, see the stars shining through.
