Democratic Sentiment.

The La Crosse Democrat has a
larger circulation than any Democrats
paper in the United States. This fact
proves that very large proportion OF
those whocall themselves Democrats ap-
prove its sentiments. Here is one Of Its
latest expressions 1t appeared in that
paper on the 10Th Of April last:
Do you blame us when we say that
God was Just in sending John Wilkes
Booth, on that dark Good Friday night,
three years ago-the darkest and gloomi-
est in American history-to strike the
traitor down, anu liberate the white free
men of America from the yoke of a des-
pot? God is just. He struck the tyrant
Lincoln from existence at an hour when
the country could no longer bear the
burden Of him; and God, in his wisdom,
cannot let the free pesple of America,
whom he has so protected and prcspered,
long remain chafing under the rule OF
any despot.
A club of subscribers for this filthy
paper has just been made up at this P.
o. and the leading Democrats of the
town and County are among the sub
scribers.

The Democratic Key Note.

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier writes:
Some of the Democratic politicians,
despdiring of the araitdbiit5f> cUen OF
General Hancock or PcnoietOn, are now
earnestly urging Senator Hendricks, of
Indiana, upon the attention of the party
as asuitable candidate for the Presidency.
Mr.. Hendricks as the nominee for the
first, and Governor English or Mayer
Hoffman for the second Office, will com
mand very strong support, but it can
not be denied that Mr.. Pendleton has
struck the political key to which the achote
West respond. Reputation and paper
money are the demands of the Vest
Mr.. PendletOn had the sagacity to see
this condition of the public mind year
in advance of the Republican leaders,
and promptly availed himself of it,. OF
course he abjured all the old Fprinciples
of the Democratic party for the sake OF
new and more popular issues. The abo-
lition of Slavery was never more popular
in the West than is now the reputation
of the public debt in the same section OF
country. The $1,000, 900, 900 in slave pro-
perty have been destroyed, and an equal
amount in Government securities rep
resents the cost of slavery extinction
The West assisted in contracting the
debt, but refuses to pay it, Mr.. Pendle-
ton is, however, consistentin in his position
for he was opposed to the war, and to the
abolition of slavery, and to the contrac-
tion of the war debt.

A Good Invention.

Mr.. James Miller, of Allegheny city,
has invented an apparatus for distilling
petroleum, for which letters patent have
been granted, numbered 1000. The APP
paratus consists of two vacuum stills,
from which the air is extracted by means
of an air pump, one of which is used for
heating the oil and draining off its more
volatile ingredients, and the other for
carrying or a continuous distilation by
feeding them the heated oil from the
former still through a room, with opera
tions at the bottom of the still. BY keep
ing a uniform quantity of oil in the dis
tilling tank it is claimed that the discol-
grafton from the tar and other matter
which accumulates and is burned on the
bottom ofthe stillby the ordinary meth
cd is prevented. The invention has sew
eral other advantages over the present
method of distilling, which readily pre-
sent themselves upon examination of the
apparatus, one of which is the very low
degree of heat required, and the use of
the gases and condensed vapers as fuel
for running the still. 1t is certainly a
great invention, and If successful is des-
tined to work revolution in the oil
trade, as it is claimed that it will reduce
the expense of distilling at least one dol
lar per barrel. 1t is certainly worthy OF
the attention of oil men, Pitts. Gaz.

Just the difference Q.

The Chicago Tribune states the dis
tinction between the Republican and
Democratic tickets in Illinois-a distinc-
ton which relates to the two parties. 1t
is as follows:
In addition to General Palmer, the
Convention selected and nominated from
the ranks of the soldiers of Illinois,
General Charles T.. Lippincott for Au-
tiitor, General G.. M. Bates for Treasurer,
and General John A. Logan for Con-
gresham at large. While one of these
men-General Bates-was lying in pris-
OH at Andersonville, starving for food
and undergoing martyrdom from his un-
dressed wounds, and his colleagues were
at the front, fighting for their country,
John r. Eden and Bill O'Brien, and
others on the Democratic ticket, were at
home making speeches against any fur
ther offensive" prosecution Of the war,
which they declared was failure. The
two parties now present representative
men; the Republicans put forward Pal
mer, Logan, Bates and Lippincott, !all
soldiers of the Unien, who are opposed
by Eden, O'Brien, Shannon and other
opponents of the war, and sneaking
allies of the rebellion.

The N.wYorh organ out OF Tune.

The New York World, of Wednesday,
in an able article on Ho,O the National
Banks Impede Specie payments, holes
the following language:
We must not be understood to advo-
cate the unconditional suppression of
bank notes under all circumstances
Let notes be issued by all the banks
which will redeem them in specie on
demand but let the privilege of issuing
notes be suspended until they will COM
ply with this condition. Bat so long as
we submit to the curse of an irredeema-
BILE paper currency, let us have the Off
sets and compensations (such as they are)
of this mischievous infliction.
And again.
OF the two ways of reaching specie
payments we believe that the gradual
and steady withdrawal of the greenbacks
would have been the better. The reas-
on is, that when the greenbacks were so
diminished ia quantity as to bring gold
down to a premium of about five per
cent. we should have the substantial
advantages of redeemable bank circu-
lation with more stable financial con-
dition than would be Immediately pos
sible in an outright resumption of specie
payments. There would be no danger
of run upon the banks to get green
backs for expectation and when exempt
from this source of disturbance; the cur
rency would be nearlJ as healthy for
internal purposes as If redeemable in the
precious metals. If the banks had to
redeem in something nearly as valuable
as gold, redemption would be no longer
sham and as soon as our industries
supplied exports enough to bring the
foreign balances 10 our favor, it would
be short step on firm ground to specie
payments.

ers, and is likely long to suffer, in con-
sequence of Western fallacies in finan-
ces." Is the World Democratic pa

THE fact is stated that the Conserva-
tive Senators, Immediately after announ-
cling their intention to so vote as to ac-
quit the President, went in body to
dine with the Chief Justice. This op-
perfume display of fraternity tends to
confirm the late statement OF Mr.. Tilton
that Mr.. Chase is no longer in sympathy
with the Republican party. Mr. Chase
used the friendly offices Of Mr.. Pike
through the New York Tribune, to deny
the accuracy of this representation, but
we now apprehcnd-against our former
charitable conclusion-that events will
prove Mr.. Tilton was not far, If Al alis
out of the way.
We wish the projected new party joy
of their prospects. A handful OF traltoIs,
who, for their own good names, had het-
ter have been in their graves before they
achieved such measueless infamy, are
not the stuff out of which living and

will he blasted, their expectations will
be Dead Sea apples, their future lives
will be made miserable by the Indignant
