nomination of Gen. McCandlcss

dicrs, furnishes loyal newspaper men
and stumpers with plenty of stock in
trade. They draw heavy on "the in
fernal regions" for success. Hate,
malice and revenge, the food fdevils

which "loyal" editorials and stump
speeches are manufactured TO satiate
tho ungodly appetite engendered by
the war Although their particular
pet Grant-signed a treaty of peace

at Washington re echoed the same
sentiment two years ago, when he
exclaimed "let us have Peace" still

wonder how much blood and how
many skulls it would take TO slake
the thirst and appcase the stomachs
of those "loyal millions who never
smclled powder or saw battle field.
What u peculiar religion and patri-
otism that must be which constantly
feasts upon hate, malice and-revenge.
And yet, we can scarcely open Re
publican newspaper in which the ed
itor does not base major portion OF
his articles on these corner stones OF
hell "Peaco on earth and good will

modern Radical faith. 1t appears to
have been superseded by ku Klux

A party held together by such tics
will certainly come 10 griefyery soon,
or our country must undergo the tor
lures of Paris, This may not be very
cousoling to those who "pin their
faith to the cold fogy' sentiment cx.
pressed above, but we hope it will
open the eyes of the partially blind to
tho fact that ambition instead of pa.
triodsm is now the controlling ele.

sible conflict" will be tho result.
Slavery viii not be the objective point
in the next crusade. 1t will be be-
tween liberty and despotism, State

wnys that are DARK.

Tic people living on the Mcrrimac
river In Massachusetts have been
highly delighted with the liberality of
Congress in appropriating $4,000, In
addition to the 100000 voted last year,
for improving the navigation of that
stream, as the judicious expenditure
Of that amount, 1t was thought would
render it navigable at any time OF tide
to Haverhill, the head Of navigation,
for vessels not drawing over ten feet.
Their delight on hearing of the APP
preparation, however, was not to be
compared to their surprise when they
learned that the Government surveyor
and large party of workmen bad
commenced operations at Metbuen,
S,houe Havcrhill, picking stones from
the bed oir ..h.e river and carrying them
ashore, while the ledge at Mi,chclrs
Falls, just below them, which rGns
entirely across the river could not be
removed so as TO allow vessels TO pass
up the locality where they are now
operating for less than quarter of a
million OF dollars.
Their astonishment moderated,
though, when they learned that the
Hon. Major-General Benjamin F. But
Ter has recently purcbased-a large
tract of land in Melhuen bordering on
the river, where these improvements
in navigation are progressing. IL is
stated in the Boston Herald that Gen
eral Butler has been informed by com.
petent engineers that he has stall enough
TO carry as many spindlos as either
Lawrence or Lowell, and the people
in that region look upon it as a singu-
lar coincidence that the Government
should be clearing out the river just
where the General would want his
mill pond should he undertake TO build
mills, while the stones taken ashore
would furnish a good part of the ma
terial necessary to build e dam

FRANCE. The Philadelphia Age
says: In estimating the position of
leading men in France in regard to
choosing form of government for the
future, Gen. MacMahon is usually set
down as an lmperialist, friend of
the Napoleonic dynasty. This is q
mistake. General MacMahon never
wasa personal favoritc of the Emperor.
He was never pet at the Imperial
Court When the late war began. he
was in retirement. Bazaine, La Bnnr,
Frossard and his other rivals had full
sway around tho Emperor They
were politicians and courtiers, as Mac.
Mahon never was and never could be
with hls notions and opinions. Gen.
MacMahon is not an Imperialist, nor
will his voice or sword be used 10
curse his country with return to tho
old order of things.

MoNUMENTs.-Speaking Of the aban-
donment of the enterprise to raise a
sufficient sum of money to build a
monument to the memory of cx. Pres.
dent Harrison, an exchange says
il is far better to abandon the at.
tempt to raise the money than to
raise tho money and then abandon the
attempt to raise the monument. With
n recollection Of one or two cases of
the latter kind abiding freshly with
us, we would beg to coincide. Again
our advice TO the Radical leaders on
tho monument subject is this Never
undertake anything which will take
years TO complete, because you fail to
adhere to any well defined principle,
unless it is to rob the people. Your
name and fame are both temporary,
and not worthy Of being commamora.

CRAZY OFF1CIALs.-Anothor heavy
defalcntion has occurred in tho Post
Office Department at Washington,
where all hold loyal commissions and
are moved and controlled by "grand
moral ideas" +. A. Mccartney. the
superintendent Of the post Office build
ing and disburring agent for the dc.
partment, is defauller to the amount
Of $4,000 The cause which led TO
the deialcation is as yet unknown,
except to post Office officials, who
seem anxious 10 have the matter
kept quiet. In consequence Of these
troubles Mr.. Mccartney is said to be
insane, and on yesterday was sent to
tho government insane asylum. A
singular fatality seems 20 be connected
with tac Office held by Mr. Mccartney.
His predecessor, Mr.. Olmstead, was
also defaultcr TO the amount Of
$4,000, and when the deialcation was
discovered hc, like Mr.. Mccartney. was
pronounced insane, and sent to the
government asylum, and afterwards
Congress made an appropriation to
cover the amount Of defalcation

SUsoUrHANNA SHAD An old river
man who has fshcd 10 the Susque.
hanna for forty years, sets mp new
and plausible theory concerning saad.
He says that before the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railrond
was built, thirty.two years ago, the
shad came up in immense numbers,
and herring was so plentiful that they
were used to enrich the soil. After
the completion of the road steam.
boat was placed at the mouth of the
Susquchanna at lIavrc de grace, which
conveyed the cars across the river,
here about milein width. This boat
as the traffic increased, was almost in
constant motion, day and night,
ploughing back and forward, and the
commotion IL created in the water
had the effect, it is believed, of driving
the fish back into the bay TO seek
other and Quieter spawning grounds.
About four years since tho boat was
superseded by the magnificent bridge
which now spans the river at that
point, and from that time the number
Of shad coming up has yearly inercas-
ed. Tho past season has been ono Of
the most successiul known in many
years on the Susqucharna. The
yield az Columbia alone has been az
high rs 3,00G to 1000 in twenty.iour
consecutive hours

from Washington inform us that Mrs
Paight, cousin of Schenck, gave
farewell reception to the Misses
Schcnck, who accompany their father
to England; that Schenck himself has
received his credentials, procured his
cooked hat, velvet coat, knee breechos,
silk stockings and small sword and
wind, weather and tide permitting,
and no carbuncle or other obstacles
arising meanwhile, the whole SchenclS
family, bag and baggage, will be out

pleasant voyage, and that his Excel,

Minister Plcnipotentary, willpreserve
his official equanimily even under tho
fearful qualms Of sea sickness. And
we know chat what ever else he throws
mp, he will not throw up bis commits
sion-that article he will cling to as
long as the present administration IS
in power and his salary is not cut
down. Indeed, the salary business
has seemed to trouble Schenck more
than anything else. He procured the
passage Of Till which gave him full

been in London; and now crosses the
