General Grant refuses to coquet with the
Democracy, and the Democracy are already
aware of his settled purpose and have declar-
ed war upon him through their leading or
gans. All their tentative movements have
proved complete failures. In 1855 they prompt
ly repaired to the White House-Copperheads,
Rebels, Blairs and Conservatives-and imme-
diately got the Presidential ear and won the
Presidential heart of A. j. 1t is only recent
ly that they have learned that Gen. Grant,
though man of cautious and not too radical
temperament, has fidelity to principle and in
tegrity enough to keep him safe from their
wiles.
The inaugural address, recommending the
adoption of the constitutional amendment,
gave the death blow to their hopes. This was
followed next day by what confirmed their
worst apprehensions. A thoroughly radical
Cabinet was appointed. Washburne, Cres-
well and Hoar are men whom no President
having the most attenuated thread of sympa-
thy connecting him with the Conservatives
would call to his aid. Stewart Borie, Soho
field and Cox are in as good standing with the
Republican party as Summer, Wilson and
Wade. On the same day Sheridan was re-
plaCcu az NcW Orl0aus, Nuu tuS mliithFy COlu-
manders in the late insurrectionaly districts
were SO disposed as to prevent the recurrence
hereafter of any effort to thwart whatever
schemes for the completion of the work of re-
construction Congress may in its wisdom see
at TO adopts
So we shall have hereafter the President
and Congress united against the reactionists,
and the latter must inevitably fight hopeless
battle in every case-so hopeless, indeed, that
they will probably intermit their efforts to OBJ
struct the work of republicanizing our institu
lions, and devote themselves to the task of
bringing about reorganization of parties ON
new issues
The Radical element now having the whole
field to itself should speedily close up the great
work that began to be accomplished at the COM
msncement of Lincoln's administration. The
new constitutional amendment is not wide
enough in its scope; several states remain I'M
reconstructed; in several so called reconstruct
ed States the purposes of Congress and the
people have not been fulfilled. There are
many things yet to be done before the full
rights of American citizens in every part of
the United States are adequately secured.
1s. the good work 60 on. Radicalism is the
watohword Of the hour.

HOLLIS ELEcmoN-SAD ACCIDENT TO HON.
JOSHUA DuNE.-At the municipal election
holden in Hollis on Monday, the Republicans
elected their full board of Selectmen by ma
lority of ten. They also elected all other town
ofhcers, for the first time for six years.
The occasion was made sad by lamentable
accident happening to our worthy citizen,
Hon. Joshua Dunn, who had his leg badly
broken just above the ankle, by the breaking
of bench on which he was sitting. The room
was densely packed at the time, when some
disturbance was created near the desk by TWO
men whose courage is of that kind that dsvel-
epss itself in crowd when there Is no possible
chance for the eombatants to get at each other.
Everybody climbed to the highest point, anx-
ious to see the fun il there was any. Some
twenty or thirty collected on the seat where
Mr.. Dunn and another gentlemen were sitting.
when it gave away and the whole weight came
down upon Mr.. DIS leg. badly breaking it as
before stated. Mr.. Dunn, accompanied by
Bradbury and Sweat, was conveyed to the
house Of Mr.. Moses Dunn, Salmon Falls, whore
the limb was set. During the process, and
when in much pain, the hero of Chatages
broke out with the following remark: ooh,
how that thing aches! But we beat them
though" The patient is getting along As well
as could be expected under the circumstances,
and is in excellent spirits.

HOPKINS CHoIcE.-By some means it hap
pened that the City Council elected George g.
Hopkins, Esq, young Democratic lawyer.
who has resided here but short time, to be
City Clerk No better choice could possibly
be made. Mr.. Hopkins is young man of far
more than average ability, and is in every re-
spsct we'll qualified to fill the place. But the
older Democratic patriots are agonizing over
his election in the most pitiful manner. These
disintsrested gentlemen cannot possibly see
the reasonableness of putting in man that is
fit for the place, instead Of one of the old war
horses who has worked for the party" Their
grief knows no bounds-neither does their
supply of laundering oft reiterated expletives.
But this is only one phase Of Democratic un-
happiness The election by the City Council
of few Republican officials has penetrated
the breasts of the war horse party like the
keenest sword. Nothing but the voice Of
weeping is heard. The scene would move the
stoutest heart. Gentlemen, remember Angus
ia! You can't afford to quarrel in this way.
You are the reform" party, you know-the
party of economy" and "retrenchmsnt." You
don't really care anything about these Offices.
You are "the party of great moral ideas"

it is so dangerous. We must beware
1T is syren's song, alluring only to

it! Did the sting come at the be-

and herein lies the danger of looking

But at the last, it poisons and

AT the last il prodsces sorrow and

AT the first it is an affair of good

AT the last it gives redness to the
eyes, and bloat and deformity to the

AT the first it may quicken the in

impart captivating brilliancy to the
conversation.
At the last it emasculates the mind
Of every element of strength, and de-
grades the conversation to the low
est idiocy.
At the first it may stimulate the
body to unnatural vigor.
AT the last it breaks down the
strongest body, ard sends weakness
into the limbs, and trembling into
the flesh.
At the first there may be health to
resist the pernicious tendency of in
toxication, so that with all of the
pleasures there are few of the pains
