The Mobile Register, speaking Of
the Northern Democratic attempts to
write down Jeff. Davis, says:
"Tbe stupidity of this abuse of Mr..
Davis is manifested III two ways: First,
1t is breach of faith in tie clearly
implied contract between Democrats
North and South, that the past was to
be forgotten, the tomahawk buried, and
especially, that dead issues were to be
ignored. You seem willing enough to
ignore as dead issues any breach that
Radicaiasm has made in the constitution
of the country but secession, Mr.. Da-
Wis, and the asperities of the war,
were to have been by cones, are live
pets which you fondly cherish, and you
do it from the most pusillanimous mo-
tiyes to wit, because the Republicans
have already saddled the Nor hern De-
mocracy with the sins Of secession, and
called the late rebels our (your) friends.
And so, to show that they are not your
friends, you are guilty of the unspeak
able cowardice of joining in the Radical
howl against the South leaders and
the South's principles and feelings,
and swell that howl to a higher key.
You villify your allies to make fair
weather with your and their enemies.
And this points the second instance Of
your. stupidity in policy. 1t excites
a suspicion of treacbery, and raises the
question whether or not you are friends
to be trusted. Ifyou would hang JEFF.
Davis now, how do we know that you
will not hang him when, by the help of
your votes. you get the power ? In all
this you fatter yourselves that you are
acting the part Of astute politicians.
Your astuteness amounts to this, that
you damn your character for fair deal
ing, upright department and gentleman
" feeling to placate few scattering,
weak kneed Republicans, and you risk
the contempt, disgust, and distrust of
the Democratic party IN ten entire
tales.

Mr.. Jacob Mueller, the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor of
Ohio, was born in Bavaria. He came
to the United States in 184S, and has
since lived in Cleveland, practicing law
and holding the Office Of President of
the German Life Insurance Company
of that city He has not taken an ac-
tive part IN the politics until, as he de-
clares, the late war in Germany con
WINGED him that tie Democrats Of the
country are not friendly to the Ger
mans. On his return lately from visit
to Europe, he declared that he should
hereafter support the Republican party.
In a speech at his home che other day
he said that his nomination was not
personal compliment, but an evidence
of the goodwill of the Republicans to-
wards the Germans ofthe United States.

4 SINGLE RAIL RAILWAY. = The
next decade promises to see great prog
ress in methods of railroad construction
aed ope alton, ard all attempts to lessen
the cost and increase proportionately
the advantages of these great thorough
fares are f interest About two years
age French civil engineer, II. Lar
manjat, introduced the system Of one
rail railway, which was adopted on a
road then being built between Raney
ands Montfermeil near Paris. Since its
construction, and up to the late troubles,
this road has been In constant and sue
cessful operation, and many believe
that the same plan may be introduced
with advantage on turnpike roads, with
the grades and curves that the common
highway usually has. The locomotives
used on this road have four wheels, two
being placed. one at the front and one
at the rear of the engine, bearing o.
the rail, which are doubly hanged, and
give the direction. The other pair of
I wheels are placed in a traverse plane,
passing on line in front of the fire box.
These run on mecadamized or plank
Dads, as the case may be, and are the
driving wheels. The locomotives are

OUR GUESTS.

The Lacrosse Leader Of June Goth,
under the above caption, has the fol
lowing to say of the Singers Festival,
recently held in that city:
The Singers Festival is a success.
The courte>ies Of the city have been
freely extended and cordially received,
La Crosse has honored her guests and
her guests have honored her. The
men who throng our city to day are
worthy the attention they receive.
They are enthusiasts il the service of
song-that divine art through which
deepest feeling, most sacred love and
Hottest patriotism finds fttest interpre-
tation and utterance most full and free.
But our guests are not alone masters
IN music and proicients in art; they
are representatives Of the best condi-
tons of social and business life. Many
of them are identified with extensive
business interests, and as class they
are among those who give stability aud
character to he communities in whic h
they dwell.
If any Of our readers have wondered
why the German element is so strong,
why it preserves It's peculiarities with
such tenacity and is aggressive rather
than yielding in its tenacity, they have
have but to study its spirit as manifest
ed in this and smaller similar gather
ings, and they will cease to wonder.
Such Astounding social enjoyment, such
cheerfulness, such fraternity, is not
easily to be exchanged for our colder
customs, cur more secluded and often
less rational social pleasures.
If to-day the voice of song and social
gladness CRATES harshly on an ear, and
if any feel that the interests of public
morality are endangered, we beg them
10 remember that Humanity is very
large, that education is varied, and duty
and devotion are variable terms, not al
ways expressing the same acts. The
fa cts of German history, German cal-
ture, and German growth, are the best
defense of German habits, German char
acter and German life. Our guests
are welcome and We only hope they are
as well pleased with us as we are with
them.

she would go with him to Madison that

She partially assented, but wished to

De SILVA.

DIR. Louis De Silva, alias Ca9doza,
noted bigamist, lecturer. and practi-
cal romancer, was Killed on the Both
of May at Fort S dgwick, about 400
miles west of Omaha. DeSilva was
an extraordinary character, but moth
ing is known of his early history ex-
cept what be chose to tell. He was
man of varied requirements, talked
huently in all modern languages, was
familiar with Latin and the writings OF
the Roman Catholic fathers, had tray.
elled in many countries, and was
reckless and uncons clonable rascal.
1t is said that he was once sentenced
to be garroted in Havana, and that he
was with MACMILLAN in Mexico it is
certain that he had deserted four times
from the Federal army, aud had mar
ried more wives than any man in
America except Brigham Young. Slut
up in cell, with no book within reach
bat german Bible, he has written for
the press column after column concern
ing his persona adventures with Gen
eral Prim in Spain and though the
whole story so far as he was concerned,
was probably pure fiction, every cir
cumstance connected with PRINTS
movements would be found to be his
torcally correct, even to the distances
given by De Silva between the differ
ent cities and places mentioned in his
narrative. In March he jumped from
train Of cars while heavily ironed,
and broke his leg only thirteen days
afterwards be escaped from Fort Sedg-
wick in his crippled condition, and was
subsequently found lying helpless on
the prairie, covered with snow, and
with both feet badly frozen. After
being taken back to the fort, aud hav
ing his feet properly dressed, he re-
manned tclerably quiet until, the Both
Of May, when he went under guard to
the suffers shop, became intoxicated,
got into quarrel, and was finally shot
by the soldier who had him in charge.
De Silva was well known In many parts
of the country By some he was
believed to be insane; but unless
total la ok of moral principle is insanity
there appears to have been no good
reason for such belief.

DEAR SIR !: In answer to your in
quiries as to the work done in the past
month BY the four Babeock Extinguish-
ers belonging to the Fire Department
Of this city, [ have to say that our
records show the following instances
where buildings were saved by the use
of SAID machines
AprH l9.-Dunlap's tobacco factory
and five houses saved by the Babcock
Fire ExtiDguishers.
-4prH 20.-Owsley DC Co.'S pork
house saved by the Babcock Fire Ex-
tinguishers.
Mqy 1S-At The burning of Henry
Koop & Co.'S furniture factory, not
less than five Or six houses were saved
by the Babcocks.
The machines have already saved
thousands of dollars to the property
owners Of this city-their use by the
Fire Department saves the city annu-
ally large amount in the wear and
tear of engines and hose-if they were
kept in or dwellings,, hotels, factories,
storehouses, etc., ready for immediate
use, nine-tenths of our fires would be
stopped in their beginnings and without
damage from water. i cannot, there
fore, too strongly recommend their
general use. Respectfully.
