The sea is joval comradc,

His mcrriInent shines the dimplng lines
That wrinkle his hale repose
lie lays himself down the feet Of the sun,
Aud shakes all with Sloe, lshore,
and the broad-backed billows fall faint OF the
In the mrth of the mighty sea
But the wind is snd and restless,
And cursed with an inward pain
You may bark you will, by valley or hill,
But you hear him still complain
He walls on the barren mountains,
And shrieks the wintry
He sobs in the cedar, and means in the pine,
And shudders all the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices,
And know not which is best
The laughter that slips from the oceans lips,
Or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's pang in all rejoicing,
A JOY in the heart of pain,
And the wind that saddens, the that gladdens,
Arc singing the self-same strain.

SIMPLE, BUT PUzzLINa.-Two men
arriving at the same time at window

What relationship was he of the picture

Another: Two persons meeting in the
street one addressed the other as ssmy
son." to which the person addressed re-
sponded: off I am your son, you are
not my father" Again, what was the
relationship?
For the benefit of those of our readers
who have not been to guessing school, we
will state that the answer to the first is

THE ELECTION MONDAY.

Once more We ask our friends to give
the election on Monday next the atten-
tion its importance demands for it.
We must, throughout the county in
every locality, counterfeit the influence
of official patronage, corruption and
bribery. The democratic party is now
in a most hopeful condition, and if
democrats are true to t selves and
their principles, we eau how lay the
foundation for that success which will
free the country from the thralldom of
radicalism. The issue is made up and
every voter is sustaining or opposing
negro-suffrage. Let us do our whole
duty. By this means only can We hope
for general ultimate success. We
should not be satisfied By simply ma
jority, but should make it majority
Of which We may justly be proud.
Give one good, hearty effort more
for the preservation, or restoration, of
a constitutional government

afloat, and one nearly completed. In
all, there are about 400 vessels aAoat

In point of numbers and sea-goine
qualities, the British feet is a good
deal stronger than ours, when we con-
slider how little coast Great Britain ha;
to defend, compared with ours, and
how much larger proportion of the
British navy could be spared for often
sive operations that there could be Of
the American navy. As war with
Great Britain would be largely one Of
the sea, we do not think the Alabama
matter should be pushed to extremes
until we have corrected few Of the
ten thousand blunders of Isherwood

half as strong as that of Great Britain

ONLY three or four days ago the
A." moral idea" newspapers were filled
with indignation and apprehension, and
sorrow, because of an alleged coalition
between Gould, Fisk and Lane Of Erie
railroad fame, and the Tammany club,
of New York. The influence of Tam
many was magni6ed, and the power of
Erie was exalted, and the capacity and
disposition Of the new firm for mischief
was portrayed in such vivid colors that
"loyaP' men gazed thereon and wept.
The conclusion was that Tammauy
would rule Fri e, and Erie would rule
New York, and New York would rule
the country. The evidence presented
to prove the coalition was of a loose
disjointed character, and not calculated
to gain credence.
Now comes the announcement that
Erie has been fishing, not in demo.
cratic, but republican waters. 1t bait
ed hook with $4,000 and threw
it to Senator Fenton when he
was governor of New York. He bit,
and Gould, Fisk, and Lane landed him
on top of a railroad bill just where they
wanted him. The proof of this is the
sworn testimony of witnesses before an
investigating committee of the New
York legislature.
Those who we're alarmed by the re.
port that Tammauy and Erie had coal
esce6, will now feel easier.-7imes.

WANTON CRUELTY.

The jeer's and gibes which are every
where visited upon the poor !uckless Of
fee seekers, is cruel. Is it not enough
that they have laid aside, all manhood
and groyeled in the dust. Let them
alone Can you who have bread to
eat, that is earned by manly labor, or
careful thought, behold man who is
forced by very hunger to crawl at the
feet of the men in honor, to ask, seek,
yes beg for crumb of official patron
age, and have the heart to jeer the
abject beings.
1t has become law that he who
would have any Office worth the having,
must lay aside all manly independence
and seek office. He must seek nomi-
nation, must visit and solicit aid of men
who pull wires, must spend money and
otherwise render himself servicable to
king caucus and his subjects. No mar
can be nominated to office, who does
not do this work. Then why abuse
men for doing what YOU force them to
do. If the people would cease TO be
influenced by this work, the work
would cease to be done, but while you
suffer yourselves to be controlled by
the scheming manipulation, don't blame
him for being manipulator.-V idettc

Although in the recent special cleo
ctions in Indiana, the radicals allowed
the result to generally 60 by default,
they made in one senatorial district
(and only one) square fight on the
negro-suffrage issue. The result Of
that fight is of the highest significance.
The district is new one, "put up"
in the apportionment act two years ago
as sure thing for the radicals. 1t is
composed of the counties of Grant,
Blackford, and Jay, which gave last
fall majority of 3S2 for Baker over
Hendricks. Huey, the democratic
senator who resigned, was elected in
1866, from the old district, composed
of Blackford, Jay, and Wells. The
radical leaders felt confident Of their
ability to defeat Huey, and thus hoped
to boast a victory for negro suffrage.
1O mdhc dSSuIduCc mUEc SuEc tuC(
brought forward their strongest man,
Col. AsburY Steel, aud thereupon
threw down the Ethiopian gauntlet.
Well, in that radical district, where
the radical candidate for governor OBJ
tanned 3S2 majority against the strong
est democrat in the sta of Indiana,
the democratic senator was returned to
the legislature by six hundred majority.
This is what the people of Indiana
think of negro suffrage. This is the
way they intend to ratify the Infamous
political fraud that would take from
every state in the union its right to
regulate and manage its own political
affairs.

Don Piatt writes from Washington
L" Buffers voice is fair indication Of
the character of Butler. 1t is harsh,
broken, and exceedingly unpleasant.
This matter of vocal organs is not suf-
fciently considered by students of hu-
man nature. In the animal kingdom
the cry of wild beast is the carefully
prepared utterance of the nature of the
beast. Prom the hiss of the snake to
the roar of the lion, we have in clear,
unmistakablc language, the sort Of an
imal we encounter. AS we ascend in
the scale, and approach the innocent,
harmonious natures, the utterances be-
come sweet. The voice of woman, as
a general thing, is soft and pleasant,
and, as one loses the feminine charac-
ter, her voice becomes coarse and dis
cordant. Physicians tell us that the
first indications of insanity are to be
found in the changes Of the voice that
are like sweet bells tangled out of
tune, and harsh And one can we'll
suppose that the MOI al insanity, now SO
much discussed, is accompanied with a
like loss of harmonious utterance.
Be that as it may, Buffers voice is q
combination Of the growl of a tiger and
the hiss of the snake. A timid, scnsi.
tive nature would shrink and shudd Ell
to hear the roll of malignant, angry ut.
terances of this man. And his ap.
pearance, when speaking, carries out
the impression. His retire ating fore
head disappears in the animal devel
opments, that are large, and appear
more prominent from being bald, Will,
his shaggy, gray eyebrows, throw il
deeper shadow the cavernous recesse
! from which his distorted eyes CLEAN il
wrath. His cheeks are fabby, an,
fall over chin that lacks the squar
prominence that indicates frmness an,
consistency. In word, his head j
the head of cat, and, when arouse'
to anger, he seems to growl and spi
: until one can almost see the CLEAN Q

An Ugly Move:

ID. P, the Washington correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
don't hava a very high opinion of the
influence of "Smiler" Colfax in the
senate of the United States. He says
The senate to-day threw Defrees, of
Indiana, out of his position as public
printer, and at the same time elected a
gentleman by the name Of French,
over that gallant soldier and true gen.
tleman, General Wolcott, of Columbus,
sergeant alarms. 1t was bargain
1 am told, between the carpet-beggers
and the New Workers. In Defrees
the public loses an able and honest
agent. After eight years hard work
in its service, he goes out poor man
He was noted for the care and economy
with which he conducted the business,
and while saving millions in that time
to the government, has made nothing
for himself.
This is not happy sign; nor is ii a
happy sign for the vice president,
whose fast friend Defrees has been.
The vice president bad not influence
enough to save the ma who, from his
childhood to the time he wrought out
his nomination, at Chicago, for the
place he now holds, has given life
time ofservicc,. Perhaps the christian
statesman had no longer need of the
services of his honest and quiet friend I,
and perhaps he could not help it..
Either conclusion in bad for for the
statesman.
