~It is only natural that Butler should
attack Daw es,and the honesty with which
he acknowledges his motives for the at
tack il very commendable. 1t is not
that Dawes is wrong in his estimates, OF
in serving the people by demanding
economy and retrcnchment on such ex-
cellent grounds but it is because Dawes
policy is going to divide the radical par.
ty and weaken the administration, that
Butler attacks him. The radical party
and administration are, in Buffers mind
paramount to the interests Of the country,
Justice, national prosperity, aud to every
thing except Butler himself.

Young MatroHS.

The presence OF young married ladies
lat entertainments adds charm to the
evening Of peculiar dignity. The cour-
|tesies extended to them by their gentle
men friends do not clash with the at
tentions paid to the unmarried ones. a
young person of either sex cannot have
ia better guide, philosopher, and friend,
in social emergency, than Il married la
|dy. Their interest is one being purely
plantonic, and not obscure or biased by
the clalnor OF the tender PASSION, they
are always able to give advice on tender
questions involving the use of consum-
mate tact and discretion, and without
which, a laundering man would simply
make dreadful mess OF his AFFAIRS
Then again, there is reposc and scren-
lily about the manner OF tie young ma
ltron which renders conversation with
her at once free from possible embarass-
ment. The giddiness, frivolity, and To-
lquacity of "swect SIXTEEN" while al
though temporarily charming is apt to
become fatiguing, lacking the culture and
SAVIOR FRAIE years bring. Marriage.
however, has the effect Of settling all
these sediments in the female character
more or less, and as the current Of life
runs smoother with them, at least for u
time, they can talk Of some other sub
jects than the everlasting one Of sweet
hearts, bcaux and matrimony. There is
a subdued sOftness OF dcmeanor. too, ia
the young matron which the belle of the
season does not have. The exhilaration
and excitement incident to successful
career as young girl. which eliminates
in what is termed the "insolencc OF
beauty" is not visible in the belle re-
tired from business the young matron.
The more charming married ladies dis
pei the gloom incident 10 a dreary will
derness Of unmarried ones by "going
out" the more delightful society will
be.

IIssfern R6pubIionniSnl.

In Missouri the Republican party is
divided into two factions, upon the
question OF the removal OF disiran.
chisemrnl from white men. The Rad
ical wing insists that the disfranchise.
ment OF the whites shall remain, while
the Republican wing demand, that as
the negroes have been enfranchiscd
the disiranchised whites shall be en-.
franchised also But this is not all OF
the trouble. The platform to which
both of these factions agreed contain.
cd a resolution on the tariff, declar-
ing for tariff for revenue, and against
"any system of taxation which will
tend TO the creation Of mOnopolies,
and benefit one industry at tho ex.
pense Of another" This is regarded
as opposed to tariff whose principal
is protection. But this was adopted
without dissenting voice as the pos.
ition OF the Radico Republican party
of Missouri on the tariff question, and
is in direct antagonism with princi.
pies of the "loyal' Republicans Of the
East. Commenting upon this the
Cincinnati Gazette says. "lf any Eas.
tern prohibitionist is inclined to chal.
lenge il, he may as well begin to re.
sign himself to, the fact that such res
olution could not be voted down in
any Republican Convention West Of
the mountains"
Now, what will the loyal High Tar.
ia Republicans OF New England say
to thisg Here is test of loyalty
which touches to the quick New Eng.
land loyalty. We have very great
faith that the Republican party Of the
West will, ere long, rise to tho mag.
nanimiiy' Of making the white man,
in political rights, equal with the ne.
gro. flhe bold assertion which the
GdSettc 1aunts in the face of Eastern
allies is confirmed by the general re.
cognition of the principal relating to
the Tariff rs contained IN the Missouri
platform, we shall begin to think that
the West and the South will very soon
find themselves in that very happy
condition OF harmony, such as led Mr..
Jefferson, on q certain occasion TO de-
clare that, eve are all Republicans,
all Democrats"

THE WIcKEDEsr MAN DEAD.-John
Allen, noted two years ago as the
"Wickedest Man in New York." died
on the 10th Of last month, at West
Perth, in that State, where his father
resides. John, it may be remembered,
kept dance house and drinking sa-
loon in Water street, and turned bis
establishment into place Of daily
prayer, under the influence Of several
gentlemen connected with the How
ard Mission. More than year ago,
ho moved into large brick building
which he had erected at Roosevelt and
Batavia streets, and kept u grocery
on the ground floor The upper he
rented to families. At first he attend
ed to business, and prospered; but af,
ter the death of his wife, his old habit
OF drinking ovcrcamo him. Ho lived
in idlencss for six months previous to
his death. and his store was without
goods. In August, he went TO his
fathers farm, remained there until his
dccease. lie leaves over 100000
earned chiefly by his nefarious Water
street pursuit. While residing in
Roosevelt street, he frequently visited
the Howard Mission in his sober
moments, and proicssed religion.
