Teach Your Boys a Trade.

Of 1896 prisoners in the peniten,
~tiaries of thirty States in 1867, accord
ing to the report of the Prison Assc-
citation just issued, u per cent, more
than three quarters, has not learned a
trade. Here is a text from which DIR.
Franklin could have preached a forci-
BILE sermon to parents.
A man who has a good trade has
an independence. He has need only
to be honest and diligent to secure a
competence. Bread and butter are
sure for him wherever he is. He is
sure always of higher wages than he
who has no trade, and if his genius
and enterprise lead him into some 9TH
er calling, it is always n satisfaction to
know that in case of misfortune he can
return to his trade-He has that at
any rate; failure in business can not
deprive him of it his speculations
may break down, but he has an an
Choir to leeward, as the sailor says; his
subsistence and that of his family are
sure.
The time was when it was notthou9ht
reputable for parents to leave their
children without trades-unless they
belonged to the class of gentry. In
France, before the revolution, this pro-
Pvident sentiment or instinct was so
strong that even the children of the
mobiles were in some cases taught some
light handicraft, and when the storm
came, and they were expelled from
their homes and deprived of their for
tunes, many of them subsisted by the
trades they had amused themselves
with in more prosperous days.
In this country, where fortunes,
quickly gained, are also quickly lost,
it is still more necessary and prudent
that every young man should learn a
useful trade, and learn it thoroughly.
No mans future is so secure here, but
that he would do wisely to have his
boys-and girls, too, for that matter
taught a trade.
But. instead of that, even the chill
dren of mechanics and shopkeepers are
very seldom ''put to a trade" as the
phrase used to be. They are made
errand boys in offices, than which no
more hopeless employment could be
found for a boy Or they become
clerks, shopmen, or statesmen; or, If
they must go TO work, they change
about from one trade to another, and
become jacks at. ALI trades, and mas

The Radicals are vox;no

The Radicals are waxing into a
condition of mournful alarm over the
prospects of the campaign in Tennes-
see. The New York Tribune bewails
the Siamese-twin candidacy OF the Re
publican party and says:
car intelligent correspondent at
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, writes The di-
vision in the Republican party open
up a prospect for the Democrats. If
both Senter and Stokes run to the
end, the Democrats will be found, af-
ter the votes are counted next August,
to have elected Andrew johnson Gov
ernor of Tennessee Such an event
will require the presence of a large
Union army in the State, or the quiet
exodus of the loyal whites and their
colored friends"
We say to the Radicals, not only of
Tennessee but of every other State, as
the late lamented Lincoln said to
Montgomery Blair-their time has
come. Their race is run. They may
think it s'bad for the Union" but tits
nevertheless true, that the Democrats
intend to carry all the elections here
after
The States and Union. [volume] (Ashland, Ohio) 1868-1872, 1869-06-23

The radicals are still carrying on
the war in the South. Attorney Gen
-eral Hoar has just approved of the
sentence of a man named Weaver,
who was convicted in 1868 by q Mill
tary Commission in Texas, of n muir
der committed in 1867. Mr.. Hoar
decides that the act OF Congress OF
March 2, 1866, establishing military
commissions in the South is "a legis-
lative declaration that in Texas the
war which sprang from the rebellion
is not to all ihtents and purposes end
ed" When the democrats insist that
the radicaIiparty are still engaged i'll
making war on the people of the
South, the &C cusation is sturdily deni
ed. But we have now the authorita-
tive opinion of The law Office of the
government that Congress considered
the war in existence in 1867, and for
the purpose of hanging a man in Tex
as, who was tried by military court
for murder, the Attorney General of
Grant decides that the war is still 60
ing on in the year of our Lord, 1869.
When shall a radical administration
gives us peace !? When will they re-
store trial by jury. and abolish their
military tribunals
