COOP old English words are fast getting
into disuse. Acknowledge the corn"
used TO be favorite expression The Md
ern translation, Tupper-ized, is, "admit
the maize" This is vastly more eloquent
and not half so offensive to delicately con-
stituted tympanums. A Washington COR
respondent of the Detroit Tribune, in a
letter to that paper informs US what the
correct thing is supposed to be in speaking
of man who is " drunk"
In tie case of Hon. Dick Yates, U. S.
senator from Illinois, the word " drunk, y
is translated as starting " out nobly in the
good cause temperance and not endu-
ring unto the end" In speaking of SEN
ator Salisbury he used the word in its
primitive meaning. lie describes him as
h aying lately INDUCED in ga terrible
drunk" A little further on he gets OBJ
scure again. He says: "There are other
senators who are not al'cays sober" He
puts it in another light iu speaking of Bill
ly Seward, who twas so exhilirated at
senator Morgan's party the other night.
that he grossly insulted a member Of con-
gress who was present" But when he
comes to speak Of Grant it is abs olutely
refreshing. Grant was not drunk =" on
Iy visibly affected BY something he had
been taking" As the jovial Squeers
would say, :" there's richness"
The difference between tweedle-dum
and tweedle-dee is presented by this radi
cal correspondent, in very graphic man
ner. Salisbury having almost had hi:
day, and amounting to nothing in politi-
cal point of view, is let down with the
simple expression,-"a terrible drunk
For the same offence. however, Grant j.
treated in very different manner Re-
publcans need him and cannot afford Il
snub him like they do poor devil ia Sal
lsbury's position, SO they gently say, in
tones melIinuously bland, that he was &c on
ly visibly affected by something he hac
been taking"

BELOW we copy the resolutions adopted
by the republican convention of this coun-
ty on the 25th ult. They are tame
enough to suit all the milk-and-watel
b.ack-and-tans in this section and if they
we're gotten up to whitewash Colfax, they
are probably the best that could have beer
adopted. The last resolution, coming SC
coon after the tremendous drubbiug giver
the radicals in this county last fall, when
there was nothing but county affairs be-
fore the people, is peculiarly rich. Our
readers will doubtless be very much in
strueted by the lucid manner in which e.
nances are touched upon:
Resolyed, That, IN the language of oul
worthy representative, Schuyler Colfax,
Loyal meE should rule the states that
loyal sacrifices saved; and that traitors
should have no place in the councils of the
nation"
2. That we have full faith and conf
dence in the integrity and patriotism OF
congress, and fully endorse all its acts
looking towards the immediate reconstruc
ton of the southern states upon sound
and healthy union basis, and which vii
give US sufficient guarantees of the future
good behavior.
8. That Schuyler Colfax is our choic,
for president, fully believing that will
him at the helm, the people would be uni
ted in restoring peace and prosperity tina
is only to be found by carryi ng out thu
principles of justice.
4. That we are in favor of dischargins
oil the obligations of the government ac
cording to the law under which they were
contracted. with the fidelity becoming
honest men.
5. That we have full confidence that GU
loyal representatives in congress will con
tinue to discharge their duty as the las
making power of the government with
view to the protection of the America,
citizen native and adopted) in all hi:
rights. both as to person and property.
6. That we owe to the gallant defend
ers of the country in the late terrible strug
gle for national life, aud their widow
and orphans, debt of everlasting graft
tude. and that we do not propose to repu
diate that debt either directly or indirect
~.
Z. That every interest Of the people re
quires the strictest economy in every de
partment of our state and national gov
ernments, and we, as republicans, adop
the principle of economy in the expense
OF the government as being one OF on
cardinal doctrines
8. That the administration Of the pull
lie affairs of Marshall county, as conducte
by our county ffcials for the last fou
years, meets with no parallel in extrav;
gance and misdirectie n of the people
money, and calls loudly for change of r,
lers.

An important conflict has arisen be
tween the military officials in the enforce
ment of the reconstruction laws. BY vIr-
tue of the act of congress of July last,
Gen Grant has taken stand regarding
the approval of an order issued by Gen.
Hancock reorganizing the city councils
of New Orleans. He yesterday tele-
graphed to Gen. Hancock to revoke mis- or
der relating to the councils. Gen. Han
cock replies, by telegraph, that if Gen
Grant insists on his order of revocation
he Hancock respectfully asks to be re-
lievel of the command of the fifth militia
ry district. Gen. Grants reply is no,
known, but it is believed that he viii
maintain his disapproval of Gen. Han
cock s order. The whole matter has been
telegraphed back to the president, who
will doubtless decline to relieve Gen. Han
cock.

The Chicago ministerial union, which
some time ago had such hard nut to
crack, in the application of Rev. Mr.. Hub
bard, the Swedenborgian minister, to be
allowed to join their body, have at length
platform of twenty-ons rules or articles
of faith, and any minister subscribing to
these may belong to the Union. The
term evangelical" which they before
deemed sufficient, was found susceptible Of
too loose an application, hence this volu-
minous definition of what " evagelical -

find least difficulty in endorsing this plat
form, but other denominations will find
little difficulty in modifying the spirit SO
as to follow the letter thereof.
The police investigation is now going on
with open doors and some of it's develop

Hickey, but the rest Of the party depart

That's right, Uncle; break it by de-

know. Send it by installments, every
sixty or ninety days, and We can possibly
stomach it. 1t has all to be paid OF
course, but then the delightful uncertain

eminent purposes, incidentals, and "sich. y

to a few of the elect in keeping UP

don't cost much, my boy, and the people
want to "invest" their money. Vel
