Too Much Sense.

1t WOtllO De Il very wise act, III
deed, for the American people to
elevate a party to power which is
sos'unstable i'll all it's ways as to
be unable to determine, for any con-
secutive six months, or less, just
what its principles are, on what line
Of policy it ought to pursue! How
long would a sensible farmer enter
tain the proposition of employing
man to oversee his farm, whose repu-
tation is that of being double-mind-
ed, unsettled in his opinions and
ways, vacillating i'll his theories
and actions? Not long, we opine.
The Democratic party in this
country is very anxious to be ele-
waited to power. 1t wants position
it wants office; it wants to feed at
the public crib; it wants to supplant
the Republican party, in all the of.
tices and positions throughout the
land held by it, and entirely
"squelch' it. But what is the char
acter of this Democratic party? Is
it reliable? Does it adhere to any
fixed, firmly established principles ?
Has it a uniform system of princi-
pies or policy in this State, or any
other? 1t is consistent in but one
thing, and that is its vacillating, un-
stable, unrelible course. Before the
war it was pro-slavery. After the
amendments were passed, it prevari-
Gated, divided-part accepting the
situation, and others warning against
it. Negro suffrage was an awful
bitter pill to swallow, but it must
either do that or remain in obscure,
unintiuential imbecility. The party,
as a whole, could not nerve itself
with sufficient fortitude to swallow
it. 1t tried, but, although some of
the brain was willing, most of the
stomach was weak. The writings,
twistings and gaggings were terrific.
1t would hold its nose, shut its bulg-
ing eyes, and down would gulp the
pill; but the stomach and intestines
OF the party would get up such
stir as to spew it up again.
The party then unjointed itself,
like snake. One fragment gets
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments down. They lay qui-
city ON the stomach. The Pennsyl-
vania Democracy felt fine in having
the 'snew departure" secure in its
paunch. But, alas! the California
aud other State elections transpire,
and the "new Departure sours on
Ter stomach, and up it comes. 9th
r fragments, in other States, are
till holding the departure down,
while still others are greasing the
know nothing pill preparatory to
taking that.
The fact is, the Democratic party
is utterly conscienceless, as well as
destitute of good judgment. And
this could not be otherwise, so long
as her leaders are so inferior in point
of brains and SO corrupt in morals.
Now, we ask, would it not be the
height of folly and madness, on the
part of the American people, to ele-
vate this old, decrepit, vacillating,
double-minded, conscienceless, fool
ish party to power? The American
people are gifted with too much
good, horse sense to do that.

Josh Billings, in expatiating on
Free Love, among other things,
says:
All the free love have witnessed
thus far has existed between a viii
lanious fletcher ON one side, and lu-
natic virtue ON the other side, that
has been deodorized out of it's truth,
and had lost aul Of its modesty and
shame, in hunting after condishun
where sin ceased to be a crime.
The fust free lover we have emmy
akount ov was the devil.

THE plan Of renting houses by auction
has been adopted bv some of the real estate
and house agents in Chicago, and the re-
suits thus far, it is said, have been very
satisfactory to both landlords and tenants ;
but whether they will continue to be sutf-
ciently so to make this n permanent method
of rental remains to he seen. The mode
pursued is this: The owner states the
lowest price ut which he will rent 4 partic-
ular house 10 an approved tenant Per-
sons desiring to rent it are then expected
to bid the amount Of advance, or premium,
they will give, over and above the minimum
price stated. As tenants are brought into
more immediate competition by this plan,
the tendency would be TO make higher
rents. The tenant of house. who desired
to rent it tor another year at reasonable
rate, might find himself in competition
with another bidder, who, though he might
bid the most, might not meet the approval
of the landlord. His family might be larger
than the landlord felt disposed to have in
hishouse, or there might be other objections
of even more Importance. Bidders OF this
kind would, however, help to run up the
premium on the rent.

A well-known job-printer, Mr.. Harpel.
has been arrested in Cincinnati for "play'
ing the trick game" or paving for meals
with counterfeit tickets. He had been
boarding at a saloon during the absence OF
his family. and the swindle had been car
ried on for some time before being discov-
cred. Meal tickets were sold at the saloon
in packages, and he is alleged to have
printed and passed counterfets. 1t is said
that he was before arrested for similar
offence, having issued and disposed OF
car tickets but although indicted, the case
was finally dropped, there being no law
comprehensive enough to cover the case.
a law has, however, been passed since,
covering such operations, and the offender
will likely be made to suffer.
