As to questions of tariff. d

As to questions of tariff, paper
currency, national banks, &C., these
are not distinctive Republican meas
ures. There are Free-Trade Repub-
licans and Free Trade Democrats, but
neither the Republican nor the Demo
cratic party would dare to go to the
people on a free-trade platform pure
and simple, nor would either dare to
adopt an exclusive metallic currency
as q party principle, Or attempt to
substitute the old State bank system
in place of the present national banks.
There are, in fact, no really important
issues in which the whole people take
an interest that divide the two parties
to-day, except those growing out of
the late rebellion; and. if the Demo
cratic party adops the platform of
Vallandigham and Adams, the next
Presidential election will be contest
not for measures but for men, not for
principles bnt for spoils.-N z. Times,

= The Ashland States and Union,
one of the ablest rural Democratic pa

the ''new departure" and says:
''NoN that the war cloud has blown

storing harmony, it is proposed that
the party shall debase itself by decIar-
ing its purpose to acquiesce in the
fraudulent and pretended constitution

the country by intimidation and mill
tary dictation against the wishes of a
large majority of the American people
And this, that the consuming ambition
of a few slippery political tricksters
may be gratiied, and temporary place
and power reward their stulifcation.

An exchange pointedIy asks: Why
do the Democracy grumble at the acts
of congress which are enacted to pro-
tect the individual in his inherent
rights. while they contend so tena-
ciously for the old fugitive slave law
which used the powers of the Govern
ment to take away the liberties fman :?
Governments are instituted among men
for their benefit, and there can be no
usurpation of power in the protection
of their rights from merciless mob.

afford relief to the Buckeye

/ f the Democratic party takes the
field with such profession of faith as
Vallandigham prescribes, it will be
ridiculed out of existence. 1t has no
option but to stand upon its record,
its well proven animus, the spirit and
convictions and principles of it's lead
ers and adherents. These no platform
can make or unmake. BY these, and
by these only, in spite of any possible
amount of whitewashing and protes-
ting, the people win judge that party

= There was slight difference of
opinion between the Judge and jury in
the Topeka Life Insurance case. Ac-
fion was brought by the heirs of the
deceased to recover the amount of a
policy which the company refused to
pay, because the holder had committed
suicide. The Judge held, in his charge
that it was not true that suicide was
presumptive evidence of insanity that
insanity must be proved, otherwise
death would be considered the deliberate
act of the suicide, and such an one as
to relieve the company from resPon-
sibility. This construction of the law
IS more liberal toward the companies
than in any previous cases; neverthe
less the jury brought in judgement
for the plaintif.-[Times and Chroni-

Is the Brain q Galvanic Battery ? |
Among the supposed facts relied upon
to prove that the animal brain is a bat
terry, which can send currents of cleo
tricity through the nerves so as to act
upon the muscles, is an experiment
referred to by Mr. G. F. Varley, in
late article, which consists in connect |
ing the two terminals of a very sensl- |
tive galvanometer with separate basins |
of water. If hand be placed in each |
basin, and one be squeezed violently,
a positive current is said generally to
flow from that hand through the gal
vanometer to the other hand, which is
not compressed. Mr.. Varley, how
ever, after various experiments, has
come to the conclusion that the phen-
omenon is due to chemical action
alone, the act of squeezing the hand
violently forcing some of the perspira-
ton out Of the pores. This is proved
by the fact that, when both hands
were placed in the water, and little
acid was dropped on one of them, a
current was generated without any
muscular eXertiOn. Mr.. Varley found
nothing to show that electricity exists

of motive power or otherwise, and he
considers the feeble electricity OBJ
tanned from the muscles to be due to
the different chemical conditions of
different portions of the muscles them
selves. As the force transmitted by
the nerves is at rate ofabout 100000
times slower than an electric current,
he infers that it can not be an electric

Not 8 school need be closed or interrupted,
not teacher discharged, not contract vitiated

work right on without obstruction, but more
smoothly and with greater efficiency, because
of the greater simplicity and unity Of the new

shock, without confusion, almost without at
tracing observation, the change would be
wrought, and we should wake up some morning

more simple, and more efficient, though less e1-
