"YOuP Candidate | Cannot Be-"

The Democracy Of Winterset by
way of a joke, nd for the purpose,
as they thought, Of boring, the Repub-
licans, voted for Toby Edwards, a
colored citizen of that place, for JUS
tice of the Peace They elected him.
They had no idea that suffrage would
carry in the State. They thought it
capital Joke on the Republicans.
They laughed in regular Democratic
glee. When the returns came in,
suffrage carried and the Winterset
Democracy were in for it. Their
candidate was entitled to the Office.
They were in more than peck of
trouble, bat Toby Edwards himself
has come TO their relief. Ho pub
fishes the following, address
To the Democratic Party of Madison
County Totoa:
GENTLEMEN I am compelled to
decline accepting the trust which you
have, BY your votes, desired me to
receive,
A proper regard for my own char
acter prevents me from becoming an
ptfice,holder in the Democratic party.
| am poor man !; my reputation is
all l possess, and l cannot afford to
Gipg it away by accepting an official
position at your hands.
Ny education, also, is defective,
and although | will probably cable to
read and write sooner than majority
Of the Democracy, still, as ignorance
is the only Democratic qualification
for office which | possess, l cannot
think it quite fair togive me the only
place at your disposal, to the exclu-
sion of SO many members ofthe party
who possess that qualification to a
greater extent than I do myself.
Again, the unfortunate color Of my
skin will prevent my acquiring a
Democratic nose, and thus destroy all
hope of q denomination.
Adding to the above, my natural
repugnanee to association with slow
white trash, and you have the causes
which compel me to exclaim, in the
language of the late Horatio Sey.
mour, "Your candidate / cannot bo,"

States south of us. Until quite re.
Gently, pretence of promptly adjust
ing all losses has been very successful
ly maintained. By employing young
men who had served in the Confeder-
ate army, and who were popular in
the neighboihoods where they resided
the public was easily induced to be-
lieve that the institution was u
thoroughly home affair. 1t 10 now
fully demonstrated that the agents
thus employed were also the dupes of
the svindlers who employed them;
that they had no suspicion whatever
that the company" for which they
We're canvassing was not sound and
reliable in every sense Of the term.
Jno. r. Berry, who iS charged in
the bill, with being the originator Of
the swindle, was arrested yesterday
evening, and will be brought before
Justice Cassetty for examination this
morning His property was attached,
even to his trunk.

A Mysterious Tin Box, and What
IL GnntAlnpl.

Several months after the close OF
the war a tin box was given to Gen.
Spinner, Treasurer Of the United
States, by Mr. Stanton, then Seere-
tary of war, for safe keeping. The
box was said to contain about $50, 900
in gold, and Mr.. Spinner carefully
locked it away in the vaults Of the
Treasury. About year ago certain
national bank suspended, with a
heavy Indebtedness to the Govern
ment. A United States quartermas-
ter who had got into trouble in his
official capacity was indebted to this
bank in the sum of 100000, and the
box deposited with Spinner was said
To contain that amount Of money be-
longing to said qdartermaster. The
bank engaged the services of an emf
nent lawyer Of New York city as its
attorney, and he Immediately began
proceedings 10 have the box opened,
and the money taken out and paid
over to the Government, to liquidate
Ii part of the banks Indebtedness. The
attorney has been striving for more
than a year TO accomplish his object,
but it was not until to-day that sue
cess attended his efforts He had
been to Secretary McCulloch, who re-
ferred him to Gen. Grant. Gen. Grant
had not the authority, but thought
Stanton was the person. Mr. Stanton
referred him back to Mr.. MCCulloth,
who asked time to consider. Several
months thus passed, and Mr.. McCul-
loeh laid the case before the Presi-
dent, and he thought it a At subject
for Cabinet consultation. 1t was
accordingly discussed in Cabinet meet.

reached the impeachment compliea.
tion occurred, aud changes were
made in. the Cabinet. 1t was then
found necessary to bring the subject
before the Cabinet again, with its new
members. This was done, and it was
decided that the power TO open the
box lay with the Secretary of war.
To day the War Secretary detailed
General Hardee. ofh staff, to accom-
paay the bank attorney and have the
contents o. the box examined They
found that the rules OF the Treasury
Department required law officer Of
the United States to be a witness,
and Assistant District Attorney Viii
son was sent for. Gen. Spinner then
summoned several of bis confidential
clerks as additional witnesses, and
the whole party, headed By the hope
ful and triumphant attorney, went TO
the vaults. The box was brought out
from dusty corner, for inspection.
II was locked and sealed, but there
was no key. After some delay
loeksmith was secured, and the box
was opened, and found 10 contain an

Would my little daughter know
Where the peaceful waters hOw,
Whore tho sweetest flowers grow
Along the path Of lifeY
Where the meadows are more green,
Where the brightest birds are seen,
Where the skiBs are all seronS,
And where there is no strife
Yondsr Is the "Golden Gats,n
All around the angelo wait,
There the narrow path IL straight;
MY daughtsr entor In.
Here the shepherd FOeds his sheep,
Here the lambs Heotrrly sleep,
Here's a fountain pure and aeop,
To wash away our slh.
Near thero 10 broader way,
Where the th0Hghtless and the gay
Throw thsir priceless souls away,
Forgetful OF theiF God.
There tho gate Is opened wido,
Aud the tempter stands beside,
Lurlng on the thoughlless tids.
Adowh the dreadful road,
Daughter, turn not 10 the right,
Nor the left; but IN the light,

Where the angels gently walt,
Where the narrow path Is straight;
