There is complaint from Jackson that
the Conservative members of the Legisla-
tire are too often absent from their places
The Republicans of course, are glad of his,
and take advantage ofthe leaves of absence
which the Democrats are so thoughtless as
to accept, to rush through their Ubiquitous
schemes to rob and Cypress the State.
Democratic constituencies should look to
this, and demand that they are not lett un-
represented at a time when it requires the
united strength and vigilance of their men,
bers to protect them, and to watch the I'M
scrupulOGs enemy.

A New Thing for the Boys.

Worse than the Ku-Klux South are the
boys of Brooklyn. They can invent more
devilment in a night than their patron him
self. The New York Post says they have a
new mode of torture for the sick and ner-
vous people. 1t consists of tin-can with
a waxed cord running through a hole in
one end of it. This cord is drawn quickly
through the hand, and the result is a noise
resembling. i'm some cases. dog undergoin g
tortures. and in others the scream of an en-
ragged elephant. One small boy in good
health has been known to keep several
children crying in neighborhood for hours.
When three or four of these Internal ma
chimes are kept going at the same time the
effect is indescribable.
The Detroit Post received the following
gem, which causes it to remark that there
is undiscovered literary talent in the land ::

FORTY YEARS AGO.

Forty years ago, literature meant
learning, and was supported by common
sense. Refined nonsense mad no advo-
Gates, and was pretty generally kicked
ou, of doors,
Forty years ago there were but few
merchants in the country, or insovent
debtors and they rarely imprison for
debt.
Forty years ago young ladies Of the
first respectabiliIy learned music-bul
it was the music of the spinning wheel
and learned the necessary steps of dane
ing in following it Their piauo forte
was loom, their parasol broom, and
their novels biole.
Forty years ago the young gentlemen
hoed corn, chopped wood at the door,
and went to school in the winter to learn
reading, writing aud arithmetic,
Forty years ago, there were no such
thing as ball, iu the summer, and few in
the winter, except snow balls,
Forty years ago, if mechanic pro-
posed to do your work, you might de-
pend on his word it would be donc.
Forty years ago, when mechanic
finished his work, he was paid for it.
Forty years ago printers were paid
and were therefore enabled to pay their
debts. What q falling off!

GEN. SHERMAN'S SPEECH AT NEW
ORLEANS.

l believe this government will keep
on growing until it spreads itself over
the entire American contiueut; but 10
order to gain this much desired end, aud
to maintain ourselves as free and In'
dependent republic, we have got TO show
more charity toward each other. 1t has
been remarked by some gentleman who
has preceded me, that it was generally
conceded by the soldiers of buth armies
at the close of the late civil war, that if
all matters of difference between the
North and South were left to the armies
they would have been settled at once,
and everything to have become quiet
and orderly. so believed, and before
signing the agreement with Gen. Joe
johnson l called together all the gener
ais under my command, and without a
dissenting voice they agreed with me.
believe they surrendered in good faith

Bits of meats are thrown out which
would make hashed meat.
The flour is sifted in a wastetul man
ner, and the bread pan left with the
bread sticking to it. Pie crust is laid

can be steamed fer the next day
Dish cloths are thrown down where
mice can destroy them.
Vegetables are thrown away that
would warm for breakfast nicely.
The scrubbjng brush is left in the

letter of the agreement, and, in my
opinion, if there had been no reconsiruc.

lious of difference between the different

have at once become quiet and peaceable.

kept at their legitimate duties, there are
enough good and true meu in all the

GENERALIZATION,

The last act of the radical party the
passage of the enforcement bill empow-
ering the President to suspend at will
the writ of habeuS corpus is another
stride in the policy of Capitalization pur-
sued by this party since the war. This
infamous bill, framed for the ostensible
purpose Of suppressing outrages against
the persons and property of southern
loyalists and negroes, was passed in the
face of the most emphatic denials from
the representatives of large number Of
the Southern States that any disturban'
ces of = political character exist in theil
States. The Southern States are as
peaceful to-day as any States of the
Union. A Northern man is as secure
from personal dangerin the South as he
is in Massachusetts or Vermont, not
withstanding the villaiuous stories cir.
culated by the wretches who are feast
ing like cormorants upon the Southern
people, and who claim to represent the
loyalty of the South. God save us from
such loyalty! These measures of Con
gress to ''protect Southern loyalists" are
not gotten up because the leaders of the
radical party believe the Southern 10y
alists" need protection, That party is
intent only in perpetuating its own pow
er, and it clutches at these alleged dis
orders in the South with the insane
hope that its real object will be con
cealed from the masses North and West
The powers they are assuming to them
selves to cure the South of her politica
disorders are intended equally for ust
North and West when the necessity
arises for them to be used in those quar-
ters, They are to be used as instru
ments to crush the sentiments of the
people North as well as South, and tt
perpetuate the power of the Radica
party. The second revolution has com
menced. The rulers of the American
Republic are sowing the wind ere long
they will begin to reap the whirlwind

The KU KLUx BILL.-The statute
violates the letter Of the Constitution
by declaring that to be rebellion
against the United States which is moth
ing more than violence to individuals,
and by permitting the writ of habeus
corpus to be suspended in time of peace
by authorizing the President to employ
the military forces in repressing opposi
ton to State laws without any applica-
ton from State authorities by extend.
ing the prohibitions of the Fourteenth
Amendment to cases Of private wrong
and by clothing the national courts
with jurisdiction over ordinary crimes
and with the function of ordinary police
repression. 1t violates the entire spirit
of the Constitution by comforting upon
the President in time of peace military
discretion which belongs to him only as
Commander-in Chief in time of actual
war; and by destroying the separate -

spheres, which was firmly established
in the Constitution as an essential tea

SIoss.--We don't 60 much on sign
but the following are so clearly signs
that we give them for the benefit Of
our readers:
When you see the sun rising before
you rise in the morning, it is sign
that you'd not do for farmer.
When you see a man trying 10
convince a lamp post that il is impo-
lite to get in gentleman's way, it is
q sign that he has been drinking some
thing-lemonade, perhaps.
When you see boy throwing
stones in the streets and speaking i'm
pudcntly to old people, it is sign that
his parents don't care much for him.
When you see "6dgetty girl"
throwing kisses and winks at the boys
across the street, it is the sign that
she is too young to be out of sight Of
her "n,aternal relative"

The Cincinnati Commercial, q Radi.
cal journal, gives the following sensi
bic advice in reference to tho next
platform of the Republican party:
"Tbe main thing is 10 affirm appro.
baton of tho last and the next war
to praise the President for paying off
tho national debt out Of his own pock.
ct to approve of Long Branch as q
temporary seat of government; de.
nounco the ku klux, JEFF Davis and
Bob Tombs; sympathize with the be-
loved Baez, Of San Domingo, and also
with the much esteemed Babcock I;
condolc with Billy MGarrahan, and
insist upon keeping his claim alive, as
it represents large bonded indebted
ness; and congratulate the Covington
postmaster upon the ability with
which be has administered the affairs
of the general government in that por.
ton of his department known rs
Ohio. This will be sufficient, without
any botheration about tariff laws,
amnesty for rebels, or other inmate
rial matters. Perhaps a few words
about the enlightened policy pursued
toward the noble red man, and an cx-
preston of content with the humilia-
ton of the British lion, would not be
absolutely wasted but further than
that ii would be imprudent to 60"

READ THIS TO YOUR DAUGHTERS
The character of community depends
much on the young women. If the
latter are cultivated, intelligent, &C.
complished, the young men feel the
requirement that they themselves,
should be upright, gentlemanly, and
refined but if their female friends are
frivolous and silly, the young men
will be found TO be jissipated and
worthless, But remember always
that q sister is the best guardian of u
brothers integrity. As daughter
she is the true light of home. The
pride of the father oftener is centered
in his sons, but affection is expended
on his daughter. She should there.
fore be the sun and centre of all.
