THE Poor Heirs have recently increased
the yearly ferry rates to some democrats in
this city three times what they formerly
charged, while they have not increased them
to radicals, or doughface democrats who vote
for Ed. Spencer or sign their ferry petitions,
at ali. They first obtain charter on q
promise to pay astipnlated sum into the city
treasury; then refuse to keep their promise !;
and now, having awed the supervisors into
silence they use their franchise as q political
engine to punish their enemies and reward
their friends. Such unblushing corruption
as this is practiced by men who profess to

Where is Your Boy, at Night?

The practice of allowing boys to
spend their evenings in the streets is
one of the most ruinous, dangerous
and mischievous things possible.
Nothing so speedily and surely marks
their course downward. They &C
quire, under the cover of night, an
unhealthy state of mind, vulgar and
profane language, obscene practice,
criminal sentiments, and lawless, ri
otous bearing. Indeed, it is in the
streets, after nightfall, that boys gen.
orally acquire the education and the
capacity for becoming rowdy. disso-
lutte men. Parents, do you believe
it? Will you keep your children
home of nights, and see that their
home is made pleasant and profta-

Is There q God d?

How eloGuently does the Chatea-
BRAND reply to this inquiry:-There
is a God. The herd of the valley, the
cedars of the mountains bless him ;
the insects sport in the beams; the
elephants salute him with the rising
orb of the day; the birds sing of him
in the foliage; the thunder proclaims
him in the heavens the ocean de-
clares his immensely; man alone has
said, s'There is no God" Unite in
thought al the same instant is the
most beautiful object in nature; sup
pose you see at once all the hours of
the day and all the seasons of the
year; a morning of Spring and a
morning of Autumn anight bespan-
gled with stars and d night covered
with clouds; meadows enameled with
flowers and forests hoary with SHOWS /,
fields gilded by tints of autumn then
alone you have a just conception of
of the universe. While you are gaz
ing on that sun which is plunging
under the vault of the west, another
observer admirs him emerging from
the gildcd gates of the east. By
what inconceivable magic does that
aged star, which sinking, fatigued
and burning, in the shade of evening,
re-appear at the same instant. fresh
and humid with the dews Of morning?
At every instant Of the day the glori-
GUS orb is at once rising resplendent
at MONDAY, and setting in the west,
or rather our senses deceive us, and
and there is properly speaking no
east, west, north, OF south in the
world. Every thing reduces itself to
a single point, from whence the king
of the day sends forth a triple light
in one substance. The bright splen-
dor is perhaps that which nature can
present that is most beautiful; for
while it gives us an idea of the per-
petual masnifcenee and resistless
power of God, exhibits at the same
time a shining image OF the glorioue
Trinity.

Lord formerly Of Boston. He had
been q resident of this section fol
about six years. During the first
few years he was extensively en-
gagged in buying wool, ,-on one occa-

from a wasp nest, and coming up
exclaimed
well old hoss, what is it,

know where am. Can you tell
me?"
Eyes, you're on that hoss."
Mr.. Lord laughed at the boys wit
and handed him a dime. The boy
took the money, looking upon it with
feelings of delight and wonder said ::
81 reckon you have a power of
money"
"Why so ?''
"Cause you slather it away So"
"What's your fathers name ?" in
qulred Mr.. Lord.
"Bill Jinkins," was the reply.

The Democratic papers are gener-
ally following the New York World
by denouncing Gen. Grant as an in
capable commander. On the other
hand, Mr.. Vallandingham, in the

extreme folly to deny his military
ability. Shall we believe the World.
which as late as 1865 landed Grant

Gen. Halpine, editor of the New
York Citizen, but better known as
Miles O'Reilly, and Democrat,
scorns to follow the press of his par
ty in their vituperative abuse of Gen
eral Grant. In the following article
from the Citizen Mr.. Halpine gives
good advice and administers whole
some rebuke as we'll:
The platform is so worded that
even the Democrats can scarcely
take exception to it, and the candl-
dates are so moderate that even Dem
ocrats might vote for them if it were
not for the party they represent.
Grant and Colfax make a ticket
hard to beat. The wonderful mill
tary success of the one, and the
great political ability of the other,
cannot be written down or belittled
by newspaper editors and the at
tempt to do so is a folly only worthy
of the late management of the Dem
ocratic party. The hero of Douei-
son, Corinth, most wonderful of all,
of Vicksburg, and finally of Rich
mOnd, is not a third rate general,
and no literary scribe can make him
one. The gentleman who has work.
ed his way up to the Speakership of
the House of Representatives is not
a bad politician, and those who buy
him for one will not make a profit
able bargain. Probably there are no
two leading names stronger, individ-
ually or collectively, than the two
which have been put forward. And
if they do not receive the support of
the people, it will be from other than
personal reasons.
The convention was powerful, dra-
matte and harmonious, and has the
prestige of success, which will draw
many to its standard.

The Wool Market.

The Ohio Farmer says: "At pres
ent the wool trade is decidedly dull
there is enough of old wool in the
eastern citiesto supply the demand
unit the next clip come into market,
and then We look for prices to rule
low. But we have the best OF rea-
sons for believing that prices will be
better for wool and woOlen goods in
October than they will be in July
1t is a significant fact that sagacious
merchants are laying in their fall
stock of woolen goods off the spring
market, and that speculators are buy
ing up woolens to hold for rise
In view of all these facts, every man
must be his own judge as to the best
time for him to SELL"
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-06-19

The New York Citizen, edited by
Col. Halpine c'Miles O'Reilly")
which represents the loyal branch of
the Democratic party, is disgusted
with the attempts of its brothers OF
the Democratic press to advance their
cause by slandering and belittling
the Republican leader. 1t says:
1t is worse than foolish to belittle
the successes Of Grant. A nation
never willingly depreciates itself
Moreover, the most ignorant mind
can see that our forces had terrible
odds beside numbers to contend
against; and the Northern people
have sufficient self.confidence to be-
lieve that ten, thousand of their men
behind proper works could not he
defeated by one hundred Thousand OF
the best men that Lee ever brought
into the field.
The Citizen has also something to
say about another military man who
is a great fayorite with the Dsmocra-
cy, probably for the very reason Col.
Halpine gives for .dislikfng him-that
he did not hurtthe rebels much. The
Citizen says:
or Mcclellan it is sufficient to say
that he was failare--a failure mill
tarily, failure politically. His bat
ties would be simply ridiculous be-
side those of Grant. His son to
Richmond" would be but foil to the
closing scenes Of the war. No bet
ter candidates for Republican pur-
poses could be- found than the hero
of Chickahominy swamp as opposed
to the hero of Appomattox appletree
II we wish to be laughed out Of the
canvass let US set up q standard COW
cred with defeats against one embls-
zoned with successes let US take as
a leader mole to fight our battles
against a lion, let US bring out q
Digger Indian against Commanche
brave. Mcclellan is Christian gen.
tleman, but as soldier or civilian
he is not the man who can, by any
chance, be elected our next Presi-
dent. The respect and admiration
which the soldiers once felt for him
are tramped out beneath the feet of
Grants victorious hosts.
