IT is not enough that Il Judge should
be honest, and able to properly dis
charge the duties of his Office. He
should have the confidence of the peo-
pie. His life should be such as to in
spire belief that he will not act as q
demagogue, or be influenced by rank
and power, or be accessible to bribery
when on the bench. 1t is due to all
suitors in our civil courts that they
have every assurance which can be Civ
en- that their cause will be fairly adj, udg-
ed.
There is wide difference of opinion
as to the character and qualifications of
ex-Secretarv Stanton. There are so
many men in the country who believe
him to be thoroughly bad man, that,
for this reason alone, he should not be
nominated as justice of supreme
court of the United States. He was
insolent, cruel. and tyrannods as secre-
tary of war, and there is proof OF con-
vincine character that in more than
once instance he was trcacherous aud
per6dious to those for whom he profess
ed the warmest friendship. A secretary
of war who will play the bully with a
military court, and instruct it that it is
ordered to try and organized to con-
Wet" is not the man who should be
clothed with judicial power.

4 HAPPY OCCAsION.-Last evening
the marriage of Mr.. Budd Reeve to
Miss H. Eliza Tanner Of this city, took
place at their new residence on Eighth
street, and was one of the most pleasant
and ENJOYABLE wedding occasions of the
season. The whole house was thrown
open, and its attractive and cosy rooms
were comfortably filed with invited
guests. The ceremony took place at
about half past S o'clock, in the front
parlor 1t was conducted by the Rev.
ID. B. Knickerbacker assisted by the
Rev. f A. Bradley, and was very beauti-
ful and impressive. After the ceremony
the friends of the bride and groom
gathered around, and showered upon
them their congratulations and best
wishes, and all proceeded to enjoy the
kind hospitality of the host and hostess.
and the evening passed away most
agreeably. y splendid repast was served.
and after some time spent in social In
tcrcourse, the guests withdrew, leaving
the happy couple in full possession of
their new and cheerful home

Business Talk.

We have lately presented bills to such
of our subscribers as were within our
reach, for amounts due on subscription
20 the DEMOCRAT at the commencement
of the present volume and also for vol
ume Is. which is now about one third
published. Some have declined to paw
for the present volume because it has
not all been published. We adopt this
method of disabusing the minds of all
our subscribers of the idea that their
subscriptions are not payable in advance.
While so many newspapers are enforcing
the strictly advance pay system, and are
refusing to send to those who do net
comply with their terms, it is certainly
not asking two much that our best pay

evils of permitting newspaper accounts

have, in, that they frequently think they

were last credited, and the consequence
is, that when a settlement is made, if
ever, either the subscriber or the publish

KILLED-The train boy fell from the
cars on the passenger train going south
Wednesday, about three miles south of
Rochester. He was injured 50 much
that his death occurred Mt II p. m. the
same day. Mr.. John d. Brown, of
this place, discovered him alongside the
track, and saw that he was properly
cared for until his death. 1t seems that
no one on board witnessed the accident
and that he was not missed until the
arrival of the train at Peru. His name
was Lewis Herring, bat he was COM
monty known by the name of Clouse,
Mr. John l.. Clouse being his foster
father-Hoehester Spy.

GEORGIA.

SO far as congress has taken action
on the subject, it seems the intention Of
that body to act oa GRANTS suggestion
and again reconstruct the state OF
Georgia; i. c: TO again take military pos
session Of the state, and compel the cit
liens to take such action as may be
deeme.. necessary for the welfare of
the corrupt and rapidly decaying rad
ical party The pretext for this action
is the fact that the members of the
Georgia legislature presumed to decide
on the eligibility of persons claiming
seats in that body, and, in SO deciding,
excluded Z number Of "col0red" men,
bers. The facts are, that without the
vote Of Georgia the fifteenth amendment
cannot become part of the Constitu
ton, aud unless "niggers," (and we use
the term as freely as we did before an
effort was made to make them the equals,
In all respects, and superiors in many,
of the poor Caucasians) vote, radical
ism has no hope and no vitality.
The presumption is, that Georgia will
be compelled (as was Virginia, Texas
and Mississippi to adopt the fifteenth
amendment in order to escape militia
ry tyranny worse than the most absolute
despotism of the east, and that, through
thatscompulsion, the Congos of Indiana
will vote at the next election, and pos
sibly hold the balance of power in this
state.
The indianapolis Journal claims that
MoRToN's determination and industry
will bring about this result, and insists
that our unhealthy senator shall have
all the credit therefor. We grant it,
and only ask in return that he shall
hereafter assume. before the people of
Indiana, the responsibility of defying all
law, of outraging all decency, and of
nsurping all the powers of the states,
the people and the courts. We say let
him have the credit, aud when the
Judgment day comes, (and we do not re-
fer to the final judgment, which he hsa
so much cause to fear, but the judgment
day Of the radical party, which is rapid
IL approaching) let him receive the
reward which the Journal claims for
him. Much as We abhor lis wicked
and corruption, We anticipate the day,
in the near future; when we shall pity
the poor debauchee
No honest man can claim that con-
gress has the right to place a sovereign
state under the control of a military
satrap, whose only duty IS to please his
master; and if this last feather" does
not break the radical camels back, then
"the best government the sun ever
shone upon" IS hardly Sorth mention

The other evening as we sat by our
ingleside listening to the cold wintry
winds of December as they came howl
ing mournfully around our domicil, the
chimes Of distant bells could now be
heard We listened attentively. What
could it be. The sound of the horn
could be easily distinguished from the
tin pans, horse fddles, hurdy gurdys,
&c. wv hat is the cause Of all this con-
fusion we inquired, "and why are
these jackanapes not at their homes, as
they should be?' The cause was cx-
planned, and our benighted understand
ing is now clear. James McCrum and
Mrs. Rhodes, George lIupp and Mary
Sharlcy, had been and gone and got
married, for better, for worse, and the
compliments Of the city were being ex-
tended to them. We extend to these
newly married couples our heartfelt
sympathy, and can only hope that their
future dreams of connubial bliss may
not too soon be married with
! Boys and riils with whooping cough and measles
And such other trnndie-bed diseases.
We conclude, therefore, with an origin

-Four souls with but single thought.
Four hearts that thunp as one.
