~ The New, York Post, radical is con-
strained to confess that the loss ofConnecti-
cut to the republicans by thousand MAORI
ty is the result of republican "apathy" and
the direct desertion of the party by many of
Them" The Post assigns several reasons for
the apathy of its party friends in Connec.
ticut, but none whatever for the desertion of
theparty." The omission is easily supplied
in the fact of the extraordinary haste with
which the fifteenth amendment was de-
elared ratified by Grant and congress to
aid the radicals in Connecticut, but which
proved to be petard by which the radi-
cal engineers were themselves hoist. The
Post, however, credits the radical apathy
to "the national conduct of the republican
party" and adds:
"The unjust revenue laws, for which the
republican majority in congress are held
responsible, and the want of any broad and
definite financial policy which secures the
confidence of the country, have weakened
the party, not in Connecticut only. but
throughout the union"
A true bill.

A Snowman On the Woodchuck.

Reported verbatim from a showman's
speech at menagerie in England. 1t was
particularly edifying to the auditors, and
may be to our readers -
"This, ladies and gentlemen, is the dis
tinguished mammal which is known as the
Hamerican Voodchuck, first discovered by
General Christopher Columbus, in his voy-
age to the woods of Hamerky. Christie
pher saw him quietly seated upon bank
of clover. viewing the setting sun, and
wondering vot would become of it. This
ERE is one of the descendants of that wood
chuck, as may be easily seen by his general
happearance, vich is beautiful and striking.
He is solitary creecher, and is called
yoodehuck because he lives in the woods,
and the boys chuck stones at him. He has
hair upon his back, and his tail is much
the same His eyes are at the opposite
ends of his body, and assist him in the
amusing occupation of seeing, vich he can
see in the dark as veil as in the light, helse
he wouldn't live in 'oles hunder the ground.
Like most hanimated things, he is fond of
enjoying himself, vich he does in a very
nmiable and interesting way. He 'obbles
along the ground, ven nobody is looking,
watches the birds in the trees, and tries to
sing like them, vieh he never succeeded in
doing; but this is not his fault because he
hasn't got any feathers. The yoodchuck
lives good vile, howing to the quiet
life vich the voodchuck enjoys. | ave

enough in it for Snowman, though can

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT,

We discover from our western exchanges
that the Fifteenth Amendment is not working
exactly as its Radical authors would wish
Illinois papers furnish us with the following:
THE 10TH AMENDMENT IN QUINCY AND
BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS.
The democracy of Quincy gained glori-
GUS victory at the municipal election in that
city on Misunderstanding Maj. Rowland, the
democratic candidate for mayor by hand
some majority. and all the alderman by in
creased majorities. The radicals made des-
perate struggle, and some 200 negroes voted
solid with them. The democratic ticket was
run upon square issue as the "white mans"
ticket, and the result is significant. Last
year, radical mayor was elected by an
overwhelming majority. The democracy, of
course, were jubilant and fired their guns
and played their bands Justify ON Monday
night. The defeat for the poor radicals is q
Illuminating one under the circumstances, but
theyhave the 10Th amendment to thank for il.
The news from Bloomington is not less
cheering. At the municipal election in that
their radical friends and the democracy car
ried tile day !-electing their ticket by an
unprecedented majority.
Nine cheers and tiger for Quincy, Bloom
ington and the fifteenth amendment!
Fifteenth amendment straws are being
tossed about on the April winds at lively
rate. The signal triumph of the democra-
cy OF Springfield, Illinois, Notwithstanding
two hundred and fifty negro votes were
added to the radical strength is signif-
cant commentary on the value of the fif-
teenth amendment to the radical organiza-
ton.
The result in Palmyra, Mo-, on Tuesday,
the 18th inst, is not less significant
Quite number of the colored people of
that city then voted for the first time, and
voted in solid body for the radical tick
ct; yet for the first time in the history of
the town, the democrats made clean
sweep, electing all their candidates by
handsome majorities.

Of the medical profession feel when the poisoned cha

lips in other words when the visitor becomes the vis

Just change he tie, the person and the place,
And be ,ou,sclf the "interesting CASE"

In future practice, it may your turn.

Try them, and, bless you don't you think they bitter
You raise blister for the smallest cause
And be yourself the great sublime it draws;
And trust my statement you will not deny,
The worst of draughtsmen is your Spanishfy.

New Trades-This year thirty three new trades
have been added to the London Directory. The
London Times says it would seem that We are rap
idly approaching, by the division of labor, very
near to the acme Of refinement and civilization.
According to recent return it seems that there
are twenty-three Roman Catholic peers in the
British House of Lords. Six of these are recent
converts to that faith. The number of Roman
Catholic members OF Parliament is thirty-six.
The year 1869 was marked by high rate of NOR
tally in the ranks of the British peerage. Thirty
two lords, spiritual and temporal, died. Two Of
them, an earl and bishop, exceeded 80 years Of
age. Three baronies became extinct.
