per Sc, but being detected at them is what
grieves it's heart. 1t fears that the
charges of corruption and extravaganza
against the late Ohio Democratic Legisla-
ture can be substantiated," and that I" the
unterrifed, while in power in that State,
have not kept themselves free from taint."
1t adds:
IS Inasmuch as the Democrats obtained control
of the Legislature by pledges Of an honest and
future success would depend largely upon the re-
demption of those pledges"
AS they redeemed none of these pledges,
but deliberately violated all of them and
robbed the taxpayers without mercy or
compunction, their chances of future sue
cess for long time to come are slim In
deed. We fully coincide with this Dem
ocratic paper when it says:
ssThere is one point connected with the ar
raignment of the late Legislature OF Ohio which
is Of the greatest interest and Importance to the

try will be affected by the manner In when Dem

And it is because of the irrepressible
tendency of the Democratic leaders to
plunder and rob the people and be guilty
of all manner of corruption and rascality
that the people so seldom entrust them
with the discharge of official duties, and
so rarely re-elect them. The misconduct
of the Ohio Copperheads will be warn
ing to the people of the surrounding
States for several years. For the
past sixteen years the people have
not, in any Northern State,
with the single exception of New Jersey,
voted twice in succession for the Demo
cratic ticket One experience generally
suffices for half score or more years.
Ohio has gone Democratic but twice in
sixteen years; and there is little probabili-
ty of its being again under the rule of that
party while tie memory of the infamous
and corrupt doings of the last Legislature
remains in the minds of the people. CHI

A Strange Accumulation,

THOMAS DICK puts the boarding of
wealth in this striking way:
ad Suppose a man could lay up a stock OF
clothes and provisions sufficient to last
him for 300 years, what would it avail
him, since he canlive at most but from 10
to 100 years Suppose he had laid up in
a store house 10, 600 pairs of shoes, to what
end would it serve, if he could make use,
during his whole life, of only the one
hundreth part of them? He would be in
the same condition as man who had
hundred dishes placed before him at din
ner, but who could only take one; or of a
person who had hundred mansions pur-
chased for mis- residence, buS who could
occupy only one. How ridiculous 1t
would appear if all that could be said of
a man while he lived was simply this
thsG his whole life was occupied in collect
ing and laying up in store house 10000
mahogany chairs which were never in
tended to be used for the furniture of
apartments, or $4,000 pairs of trowsers
which were never intended to be worm
And where is the difference, in point of
nationality and utility, between such alb
surd practices, and boarding thousands of
guineas and bank notes which are never
brought forth for the benefit of mankind
There is no conduct connected with the
pursuits of human beings that appears
more absurd and wicked than such prac.
tices however common), if examined by
the dictates of reason and the word of
God. 3e = s9s.i edj ~ ,eiFD 81 q9fIt II

Sleep for Brain. Workers.

In late number of the College OourSnt
is an article on sleep by DR.. G. w. Beard,
from which we make the following ex-
tract. - p
!. "Students who are really faithful labo-
rious brain workers need all the sleep they
can get, whether at night or in the day
time. The night is the most appropriate
season for sleep, and yet we should never
hesitate to take nap in the daytime when
ever we find it necessary. Amid the cares
and responsibilities of our modern civili-
zation, there are unnumbered Interrupt
tions and contingencies that make it prac-
tically impossible for us to obtain our full
amount of sleep in the hours that are usu-
ally devoted to that purpose. Nowhere
is no law 30 imperative onsman as the law
that requires us to sleep If we deny our
selves of it; if we get behind and, to use
the expression of the street, fall into debt
to nature in this respect, we must improve
the first opportunity to make ourselves
good, else we shall ultimately fail. A brain
worker who religiously enjoys liberal
amount of sleep may preserve his health
and elasticity, even though he violates
every other law of hygiene. On the con,
trary, he who faithfully observes all the
rules of diet, of exercise, and of labor, yet
denies himself of sleep, is really guilty of
all, and can by no means escape unpun-
ished. There is noappeal from this law
There is no virtue that can redeem its vic
lation. 1t tadmits Of no atonement. To sleep
is the one great hygienic commandment
1t is the Alpha and the Omega, the begin
ming and the end, the first and last Of the
great laws of mental hygiene. He who
understands and obeys this law really un
derstands and obeys the whole hygieniC
decalogue, for no one can long sleep well
who persistently disregards the other laws
of health. Sleep is one of the best of oul
thermometers of health. BY the quantity
and quality of sleep that our patients car
take, we can best judge of their daily con
dition and of their progress toward recov
cry. We always feel assured that what
ever improves the sleep of the exhausted
invalid to that degree helps him toward
recovery, and that whatever disturbs the
sleep, to that degree, brings on relapse
and disease. Sleeplessness is one of the
earliest and most constant symptoms of in
sanity, of hydrochondria and of all the
nsmeless forms of nervous arrangement
Whenever, therefore, we find that we are
! not sleeping as well as we are wont, wher

our dreams are peculiarly dark, and ugly,
and distressing, and leave unsightly scars
in the memory, when we roll, and toss. and
worry through the watch Of the night,
anxiously waiting for the day, when we
awake long before our accustomed hour
of rising, and find no pleasure in the
morning nap, then may we suspect that
our bark is nearing the quickssnds and
shadows, and then, without delay, should
we examine our charts, revise our calcula-
tions, and, according to our best Judgment,
return to the channel from which we have
suffered ourselves to be driven.

OR NEW CONSTITUTION.

The Reformed Constitution of the State of
votes of the people at our coming cleo
ton. Its enemies have succeeded in having
it chartered for such vote, hoping thus
to defeat it by disgusting the people with
the labor and annoyance of so voting.
Let no friend of Reform be thus deferred
from voting for the Amended Constitution
and against the Property Qualification for
Colored men. AS to the two remaining propO-
sitons we are less tenacious, but we are in
uniform rule for the assessment and taxation
of Real and Personal property. Why not
But, whatever you may decide as to these
questions, do not fail to vote for the Amended
Constitution and against the Property Qualif-
cation for Colored voters. And we appeal to
Republican Committees to see that the ballots
are provided, and to lovers of liberty and
justice to devote themselves earnestly and
actively to their distribution in households as
well as at the polls.
Do not say, at will do no good" If Impair
tial Suffrage should be voted down, every vote
in its favor will yet do great good. 1t is true
that if the Democratic managers choose to poll
the fun vote of their party against Impartial
Suffrage, they can vote it down. But will they
do itf Can they afford toi They want to
elect President in 1872. and to do SO they
must carry States which not only allow Blacks
to vote but run Blacks for high Office on
Conservative" tickets. 1t will prove a detri-
ment and an embarrassment to the Democratic
leaders if they now put forth their party
strength against Impartial Suffrage; wherefore
we conclude that they will not. They must
make show of opposing it in order to satisfy
the lower order of their hackers; but they
cannot really want it reported throughout the
South that the Democrats of New-York have
once more imposed Property Qualification on
the Blacks. Their interest lies the other way.
At all events, champions of Justice and Free
doml your path lies plain before you. The
time for Impartial Suffrage has fully come.
See that your efforts be not wanting to assure
it glorious triumph! f'

There are good many Republicans in this
State who dislike the Editor of THE TRIBUNE,
and would like to hit him a good lick if they
only knew how. We beg leave to advise them
that they can only feed fat their grudge by
voting and bringing up others to vote the
Republican State ticket with his name scratched
off. Staying away from the polls will not
answer the purpose, as no one can tell that the
blow was not aimed at Gen. Sigel or some
other candidate but going to the polls and
voting the ticket with the obnoxious name
erased from it will do the business. Where
candidate falls behind his ticket, every one can
see what is meant and who is aimed at, and
candidates who run behind are not likely to be
nominated again. AS some of these anti-Greeley
Republicans are not very bright, and do not
take the papers, we hope our readers will take
pains to suggest to them the course above in
dicated, and show them how to follow it. Let
us all enjoy the utmost freedom of choice, and
vote exactly as we mean.

BAD EGGS.

When the XXXIVth Congress first con-
vened, early in December, 1855, the organiza-
ton of the House was impeded for two months
or over by inability to unite a majority OF Its
members upon any candidate for Speaker. A
majority had been elected distinctly as OPP
ponents of Slavery Extension, and by the votes
of constituencies very decidedly opposed 10 the
policy which had triumphed in the preceding
Congress by the passage of the Kansas Nebraska
bill but good many of these were members
of the secret order popularity designated Know
Nothings, and at least dozen of them would
unite on no candidate for whom sincere Re
publicans could vote. OF these were Messrs.
George G. Dunn of Indiana, William w. Walk
and John Williams of New York, Jacob Broome
and Henry M. Fuller of Pennsylvania but the
nucleus of the trouble was in Ohio, where
Messrs. John Scott Harrison, Lewis ID. Camp
bell "a veteran Free Soiler). Oscar +. Moore,
and Edward Ball, were conspicuousy balky.
Lew. Campbell and Ball generally voted with
the straight Republicans for Banks; but they
were deem in every plot to defeat his election;
Scott Harrison and Moore went after strange
gods throughout
Scott Harrison has died since. as have Dunn,
Walk, Broome, Fuller, and perhaps Moore ;
and now Lew. Campbell turns up Democratic
Senator in Ohio with Ed Ball ditto Repre-
sentative; he having played like role in the
last House. Ball turned out some years ago !;
Campbell sank gradually through the miro OF
Johnsonism into the pit which now enslimes
him. Considering his AntiSlavery professions
in the past Lew. is probably the most aban-
doned shameless renegade since Benedict
Arnold.
Having anxiously watched these men day by
day through that long struggle for the Speaker
ship wherein Slavery suffered its first defeat,
we now find them exactly where we should
have looked for them. Each of them has gone
to his own place.

that the lecturers are the best that can be had.

We inquired the other day whether the
Governor of Havana (Roberts) might not have
been implicated in the recent fraud of ten
million dollars in the Havana Custom House.
We had more than one reason for making the
inquiry 1t is matter of criminal record
written in SpaDsh) that once upon time he
appropriated" five thousand dollars, which he
attempted to run away with; but, being
caught at the railroad depot, he was taken to
jail, tried, and sentenced to the chain gang
where he was not sent, through the influence
of Marshal 0'Donnell.

Father Hyacinthe is in NewYOrk, and
already he prays for peace. The Evangelists,
who, with BOston-like audacity, have proposed
to give him public reception, will at once
take notice. In one of the few conversations
which the eloquent monk has had with Amer
leans, he yesterday informed our representative
cautiously and frankly on such main
questions as tho great body of the pub
lie will be curious to have answered. He
still esteems himself Roman Catholic; he
does not despair of his Church. and still hopes
that the Council of Rome will give such YER
dict, in accord with progress and the Cos
pei as will leave none of her children out
cast. Of American institutions, the reverend
stranger speaks with cordial curiosity and
admiration. The man who has grown
mp in cloister. whose pulpit has been in a
French cathedral, who once said that he had
found only germs of intelligence and atoms of
understanding, and who met but abOrtive
saints in the cloister may find something to
study here,

A pertinent question for New-York Republic
cans to consider is whether they shall suffer
themselves to be put to shame by the action
of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The successes in
those States were achieved by persistent and
devoted efforts, in the face Of obstacles which
do not exist in our own case. In Pennsylvania
the Republicans had to contend against the
power of enormous wealth; in Ohio, against
tho prestige of unbounded personal popularity !;
and in both States they were confronted by
the undivided strength of their opponents.
Here in New-York the only influences we have
to fear are fraud and corruption, and these,
for obvious reasons, are neither likely to be so
lavishly employed nor to operate so success
fully as in the elections of the past two years.
The serious discussions in the Democratic
ranks, moreover, give US an advantage we
have not been accustomed to enjoy. Nothing
is needed to secure Republican triumph on
the I'd of November but the substitution, for
once, of hearty, spirited, and united action
for the suPinoness and apathy into which. on
off-years,' the party is too often suffered to
fall

There have recently been some disturbances
in the upper part of the State of Alabama,
particularly in Marshall County, and petition,
signed by large number of the residents of
that locality, was lately sent to Gen. Crawford,
who commands the United States troops there,
asking for military protection and for his
assistance in the suppression of Outrages. The
request was complied with by Gen. Crawford.
As the Democrats hereabouts are very fond of
repeating the falsehoOd that our troops in the
Southern States are used only in the interest
Of Radicals" and negroes" it gives us
pleasure to inform them of fact connected
with the present case which may save them
some rancOrous feeling. The signers of the
petition to Gen. Crawford, asking that mill
tary force be sent to Marshall County, were all

these people had the right to ask that troops
might be sent to their county for the preserva-
ton Of the peace; but why should the Demo
cratic organs here always misrepresent the
facts in cases of this kind2 In his reply to
these Democratic petitioners, Gen. Crawford
goes 50 far as to ask them TO cooperate with
"the troops" in restoring order and quiet; and
he expresses his qualification that the people Of
Alabama now realize that the troops of the
United States are intended a. cOnservators
