after the latter word, are omitted. There is no

these words, in the genuine, begin each line of
the direction" The counterfeit Ia ell is q
brighter scarlet, and the engraving inferior The
wax at the top is dull and of poor quality In

me TO my bed for about thirty six TO forty hours,

These parties were stripped and whipped

George t. Benedict, assistant superin-

presenting the company, was arraigned to
lswer the above charge. The facts as
.oven were that on Sunday last, toward
ask, train cars connected with the
ew Orleans road crossed the track of the
oyal stl'et railroad, going at a speed of
ON twenty TO thirty miles per hour; that
e whistle was not blown until within
bout fifty yards of the crossing, and had
nything occurred to the Royal street cars
delay 1t on the crossing, it would have
cen inz&ssible for the New Orleans road
, have checked up in time to prevent
;'rious accident. The witnesses were all on
car returning from Frascati, which was
'owded with passengers. Mr.. Benedict
iated that orders had recently been given
the engineers and conductors on all
aims to reduce their rate of speed to five
: SIX miles per hour, and that particular
IRE would be taken that no occurrence
Ike that described shall again take place.
IN this condition the case was dismissed.

THE LESSON OF OUR TRIUMPHs.

The result of the elections in Connect
cut and the various cities of the country
show that the Republican party is one of
Intelligence, and made up of men whose
votes are governed by their convictions on
great principles. They cannot be swerved
from the discharge of their duty, or be
made to espouse principles repugnant to
their convictions, simply because the lead
ers of their party are not personally on
friendly terms, or have each other by the
ears. The deposition of Mr.. Sun,uer or the
quarrels of Messrs. Blaine and Butler are
Insignificant events in the history of a
party supported everywhere by men of
reason and judgment. We have the ut
most confidence in the continued success
of Republieanism so long as it continues
to be the party favorable to integrity in the
administration of the Government, and
the champion of the rights of the citizen
to protection in his person, property and
privileges of citizenship in South Carolina
and Kentucky as well as in Iowa or Mas
sachusetts; or so long as the Democracy
perseveres in its attempt to force the Amer
lean people to stultify themselves by sur
rendering now every guarantee of peace
and every security for the preservation of
the Republic which they won through the
anXieties, tribulations and bitter sacrifices
of the war. The victories in Connecticut.
Ohio and elsewhere satisfy us that the Re
publican party will survive all its present
discussions, and continue the party of re-
form, progressiand ascendancy in the gov
eminent of the country. -.- IS
The victory of the Democracy in New
Hampshire, secured through the apathy
and indifference of the Republicans of that
State, gave the former an opportunity for
indulging in extravagant congratulations
and predictions. We were told the politi-
cal millennium had come-that the "Radi-
Gals" were "to be swept from power"
&C., &c. but we have no doubt their halo
is now dispelled and dreams already un-
realized. ttt - y "
But the lesson of these victories, as we
read them, ought not to be UNDECIDED at
Washington. We cannot afford to en-
courage further dissensions. Personal ami
mosities should be buried, and for the
good of the country all patriots should
band together to keep its institutions free
from the control of the Democratic party,
through whose treason corruption and in
fidelity the nation owes the bitter expert
enceS of the past ten years .. b. .....-
