Love on the Mississippi.

Early last summer young lady, the
daughter of prominent citizen Of the
finest town on the Galena and Chicago
Union Railroad, came to Davenport on
visit to some friends. After couple
of weeks had passed, the visitor and
visited concluded to take an up-river
trip. So on one fine Saturday morning
in July the party went aboard the steam
or Minnesota, to be carried northward.
The clerk of the packet was that pleasant
gentleman, VIM. w. Van Dyke. As he
gave the young lady his hand Gin the
usual way" to assist her up the STAGE"
he looked into her beautiful face, lost
his equanimity, and fell flat-in love |!
He had but one stats-room in the ladies
cabin vacant, and it had been engaged
for party at Savanna. Nevertheless,
he assigned the apartment to that young
lady. Whereat her friends wondered
Thus had her grace ofmanner and beauty
Of form and feature smitten Van Dykes
heart and procured for herself and two
of her companions in travel the best the
packet had in the way Of state-rooms.
Van and the young lady became we'll
acquainted. The comfortable chair in
the Office, right at the front door, where
the delicious brcexes would cool the
atmosphere for her, was always at her
disposal. He sat many an hour with
her in the pilot house, between landings.
And when st Paul was reached she
loved him ssmore'n hundred houses
Billy Van Dyke was deliciously miser-
able mortal on the downward trip He
half believed that the young woman was
in love with him, and that was the time
when deliciousness came in; again he
would half believe she wasn't, and that
was the time when miserableness served
him. The Minnesota returned to St.
Paul after eight days absence, and, oh
joy ! the young lady came aboard again.
La how she and Billy did shake hands
though. Now We come to the point.
On the way down he popped the question
and she said yes! And last week they
! were married, the governor, being
agreeable. And is the Minnesota to
lose her pleasant, handsome clerk Nay
we trow not! Or at least, it is limited
that Billy is to occupy the Office Of one
Of the new splendid steamers that are to
come out next spring. And that's how
the thing is, as told by one who knows.

Why Father Hyacinthe Came Here.

During the summer of 1867, Boston
gentleman, together with his wife and
widowed sister, were in Paris Ofcourse
they, among other wonders of the French
capital went to hear Pere Hyaacinthe.
The widow, who is young, has but one
child, and is quite wealthy, fell in love
with the Pere. Finally meetings were
brought about, at which she expressed
SO much joy that the feeling became
mutual. Although the Carmelite had
begun to express himself freely in pub
lie regarding religious matters, he did
not 60 far enough to suit his female
adorer, who had more extended views,
both religious and political, regarding
matters in monarchcial country, where
Church and State are closely allied.
Under the tutelage of the Boston lady
the priest become more and more out
spoken in his views, and finally events
eliminated in his retirement from his
monastic orders, and it was supposed he
had gone to Passy to keep qniet. 1t
was not known for some time in France
that he had gone to America; but he,
as every body now knows, came here,
and after remaining in this city some
weeks, so as to get rid of all faint ofsus-
picion, went to Boston, where he met
the lady who had drawn him hither. 1t
is with the intention of settling private
affairs in France that he returned but
before long, as has been limited, he will
return to America and probably marry
the lady who has drawn him away from
fatherland and mother church.-New

and six steamers, all intended for nav

Mr.. Samuda's steel steamers have been

A Record Of Crime.


To read the messages of scalawag Gov
ernors of Southern States in which the
horrors of the Ku Klux organizations are
dwelt upon evidently with JUNCTION in
order to crafty the depraved tastes of
fanatics elsewhere, one would suppose
that these communities are monopolizing
the pastime of murder and its kindred
crimes in the United States. They
would scarcely believe that ten murders
are committed in the Northern States to
one in the South. And yet in commu-
mites having equal population, it is I'M
deniably true, judging from the reports
which are made in the newspapers of the
day. In single number of Northern
daily, the following startling array of
crime is published
TERRE HAUTE IND, May pa horrible
murder was committed at Brazil, l6 miles
from this city, this evening at 80. Two
men, named Hawk and Miller, got into a
dispute near the depot, in regard to the
settlement of a claim of seventy-five cents,
when Miller stabbed Hawk in the neck with

man leaves a wife and six children in desti-
tute circumstances.

n County Office Good Enough for
Fisher.

awhile Capt. Fisher, Is no doubt, not the
man best adapted to carry out the mission
of this paper in the future, he is neverthe-
less highly qualified for the duties OF a
county Office. The appointment of the gen.
tleman TO an office commensurate with his
service VIII be an act of the wise policy OF
justice. 1t will under the peculiar eircum-
stances of his removal from the Pilot, be an
act of also the wise policy af Cancellation"
Pilot.
This is either reflection on Fisher, or
an afront to the profession. Has it come
to pass that journalist in performing the
duties of place which in its relations to
to the public, is intrinsically higher and
more important than almost any other,
is simply qualifying himself for the ''du-
ties of a county Officer" 1t seems that it
was TO meet this ungracious imputation
that veteran journalist, no less noted
than j. w. Forney, in a letter of the
30th ult., made the following just obser-
vations in regard to the qualifications and
public services of editors, and of the
manner of their requital
Take the editors of the United States as

sources. the destinies of the people. There
is hardly a county town IN America north
or south in which the editor is not worth to

matter how You consider them. And vet
how rarely he is thought Of Nole and then
he is propitidfed By a little county Office. but
when high honorS are to be distributed
some voluble lawyer and housing lneapa-
bility wins the prize, &C., &c.
But to the superior claims of Fisher who
was equal to the conduct of the Radical
organ in winning the fight, but fell be-
low it when it came to dividing the spoils
were added his services as Chairman of
the Committee of Sixteen which involved
an Incredible amount of hard swearing
and diabolic invention.
We have no tears to shed over Fisher.
The mills of the gods have ground his
''turn7 of retributive justice little soon
er than that of the rest of his accomplices.
They will all come to their fate by and
by. But we do object to the Judgment
that having been an editor, he is simply
qualified for the duties of q county of
fee"

The opinion of THE CLARION, which
is shared by all impartial, observant men,
that the Radical party is Fastening to its
doom in consequence Of its crimes, is not
a mere surmise, but is based upon popu-
lar elections in which the issue was distinct
.ly joined upon the merits Of its policy.
Thus, in Connecticut, on that issue the
guage of battle was rendered and accep-
ted /; and in New York, the Radicals
made it an especial point 10 stake the pop
uIarity of the Grant Administration, on
the verdict, which was rendered to the
tune of ninety thousand against them. To
say nothing of the signs which have been
given forth by innumerable local elections
in the North and West.
1t is true saying that revolutions new
err 60 backward and we may reasonably
infer that this popular reaction against
the Radical party which has burthened
industry with debt and filed the land
with mourning, will not stop until its
mission is accomplished. The elements
of opposition to it, are comprised Of the
best material of all former parties and
unless the statesmen who are charged
with the responsibility of moulding these
elements into one solid, compact mas,
and leading them to victory, are struck
with blindness, the result is scarcely
problematical.
To show that the signs are not thus
interpreted by Conservatives alone, let
ms reproduce the comments Of Col. Don
Piatt, of the Cincinnati Commercial, one
of the leading Republican papers of the
| West:
There Is no denial Of the fact that the late
| election in New York has had a somewhat
depressing effect upon the Government peo-
pie here, who, up to that event, counted
their two-thirds majority in Congress, aud
| swung on as IL there were no constituencies
taking note of their shortcomings. The
| result in the rural districts fills our friends
with dismay. 10 is he handwriting on he
,odH, and means death.
And yet, judging from the talk Of Rcpub-
lican officials heretofore, one would gather
that the defeat of the Republicans, Ia "A tri-
umph of the Democracy, was an event 70 be
expected. and, whether pleasant or not. one
to be regarded with philosophical indiiler-
ence. But death, hOtceDer long anticipated
can not be made familiar.
The mass OF there's and SiciRdlers that hare
croicded upon the Republican crdft, until Il "a
fairly stamped, for ue first time Begin 20 realize
that their days are nunlbered--tlteir doom seated
What with this iniquitous protective tariff
that grinds down the multitude that "A few
may prosper ; what with the hard time,
and the thousand and one gigantic legisla-
tive swindles for a few monopolists, tn,
people are sick and cry out for a change.
And here is what the st. Louis Demo
crat, another influential Radical paper
mildly, but distinctly says:
The Republican party, If It Is to win IN
1872, must by very different party from
that which conquered I'm 1868, la measures

We have said that in the Revenue
(Plunder) Bill TO increase the taxes Of
this State to fill the pockets of the place
men who were put into Office by federal
intervention-in the enormous and I'M
paralleled expenses Of the Legislature
in the Executive Mansion and Secret
Service appropriations-th extravaganza
which the Radicals have practiced in the
other reconstructed" communities, have
been reproduced here. In Tennessee
during their reign, the expenses Of the
State government were five times greater
than before the war; and it has just come
to light by the investigation of a Legisla-
tive Committee that the Vampires actual
ly stole $500, 900 Of the School Fund.
The Advertiser of Montgomery, Ala,
commenting upon these facts says that
that State furnishes another pitiable ex-
ample of misrule as attested by thousands
of acres of land advertised for sale by the
tax-collectors. And so in South Carolina.
The Charleston News publishes the fol-
lowing statement:
The taxes levied upon the people Of the
State last year were as follows:

The State and county tax last year was
more than one per cent upon the assessed
value of all the real and personal property
in the State.
Ten years ago the entire State taxation
was 1857 900. This year the taxation Il more

In this connection it may be proper to
say, and though it may injure the stand
ing of Mr.. Langford with some of the
people who voted for him for THE CLAIR
ON to state it-but it is due to justice that
it should be said-that his conduct as a
member of the Legislature has left little
for the great mass of the intelligent por-
ton of his constituency to complain of.
His vote against the Plumber Cniiss-called
"Revenue") bill is especially worthy of
commentator.
As for Mr.. Maxey, talented, vigilant,
sagacious and prompt-his people have
reason to be proud of him.
