\ Clear Ringing Note.

Tho following article from the Mans
field Reporter is Il ssccnter shot, at
some office holding Democrats we wot
of:
1t ocurs to us that the political out
look in our State is growing more dis
couraging daily. Two years ago we
were decidedly more hopeful of the tri-
umph sof the Democracy at the last
election than we now are Of a Demo-
cratic victory next year. Two years
ago the party i'll power did not have as
strong hold rs it now has; and the
white people were more united and
more determined in their opposition to
itndscaiism then than now. The R.ldi-
cal party has now q strong foot-hold
throughout the State, and every menu
Der of it, noAnattcr where he resides,
is so situated that he can render the
party some service. And instead OF
being firm and determined in the en-
deavor to hurl from place and power
the vcnal and corrupt men who fill our
offices Of trust and profit, many Of our
white citizens-men to the manor born
for the sake of office or from IL desire
to make money, have gone over body
and soul to the Radical party or have
so far compromised themselves that,
lItStcstu pl DattllitS ZOE our purity anu
the good of the State and of society, are
dead weight to us and actually do us
harm. In order to achieve their own
selfish end they have taken shelter he
meath the colors of what is denomina-
ted through policy conservatism"
They are neither Radicals nor Demo-
'crats; they are making something out
of the Radical party and they dare not
speak or work against it. In this way
they do nothing for Democracy, and
aid Radicalism by decreasing the num-
Der of its opponents, and their influence
for good is lost to our party. They say
to the Radical party, give us Il chance
to make money and we will not oppose
you. We can not join your party, but
we will be conservative"
This class OF men has already injured
our cause, and it is from such that we
will suffer in the next canvass. Out
upon them! In the language of Holy
Writ, 'shc that is not for us is against
u.s. and nnhlic Opinion should froyN=
at those mon who, unde, ,a.o guisc Of
conservatism, are winking at our
misfortuncs and are n party to our de-
StructiOn.

Sumner on the Alert.

The attempt of Mr.. Sumner to inter-
duCc - resolution in the Senate, de-
nanuing, i'll the name of justice and in
ternational law, that the President
should order his ship-of-war off tho
coast OF san Domingo, shows that he is
determined to fight out the differences
between himself and the President to
the. bitter end. Tho discourteous op-
position which his resolution met and
the evident determination Of senators
to suucnch it, also discloscs the intract-
ablc animus of the quarrel. Mr.. Sum
.,,nr is undoubtedly right in demanding
u. It the government withdraw the
menace ofits fleet from Dominican wa
ters, nor longer range its guns upon the
feeble uefcnscs OF IIayti. He regards
it rs n species Of intimidation unworthy
of any great power, and denounces the
President for authorizing it; u point so
tender that it touched the sensibilitics
of Mr.. Conkling and others of the Pres
ident's ring, to the very quick. Yet it
would be surprising indeed, if outside
of this charmed circle the position OF
Mr.. Sumner is not generally indorscd
as correct, and the dignity of the gov
crnmcnt considered compromised by
his unbecOming treatment in the Sem
ate. Tho Massachusetts senator has
not the clements of Il popular leader,
nor are his antcccdcnts, nor even his
present views upon various other lines
of policy, such as to command popular
Endorsement, but i'll his rcsolutc antag-
onisn to the administration upon this
question he will have the sympathics
of thousands of al parties, otherwise
wholly out of accord with his opinions.
His detection is the most important in
its probable consequences of any that
has yet occurred, from the fact that it
is in no sense Il merely personal one.
It is not because he has been disap-
pointed in Presidential faVors, nor is it
to be presumed that he hopes for polit-
cal prefcrmcnt though his reputation
OF Grant, for he is one of the last men
in the country to whom the Democracy
can be recOnciled; but there is Il Sinceri-
ty apparent in his course, and an un-
questioned honesty of motive, that
wicld- a moral power in his party in
the presence of which the buster and
bull-ragging of the executive faction
sink into contempt. His separation
from the fortunes and misfortuncs OF
Grant will prove the splitting wedge OF
the Republican organizatiOn.-4T Lou-

A Strange Pnir.---Thc Spotted Boy and his
Serpent Brother.

[From tho Louisville Courer-JournafI
There is on exhibition in this city a
most remarkable freak of nature. To
those who delight in cccentricities of
this character the history of the boy
snake couple, found two or three years
since in the wilds OF Africa, would be
exceedingly interesting. When seven
years of age he was captured in COM
pany with boa constructor, which is
supposed to have charmed the young
specimen of the genus homo from the
parental hearthstone. There is II re-
markable likeness between the boy and
the snake in respect Of color, each bear
ing the same flesh marks, and the affec-
ton which made them companions in
their native jungles continues to this
! time. BY their keeper they are said to
be inscparnblc. The alternate nut brown
and cream spots which mark the one
are identical to the other. The larynX
in the boy, as in the snake, is wanting,
and consequently each is as dumb as an
oyster; at least they remain to this day
as reticcnt of their origin as the most
polite President in the United States
could wish.
The nine stroke of our evening town
clocks conSignS them to the same couch,
and, winding their young and tender
forms about each other they go to sleep
to dream of mother and home, far from
the land in which their young infancy
was rocked.
The boy is as impartial compromise
, between the pure Caucasian and the
genuine African as n congressional re-
construction committee could wish, and
the singularity of his appearance in
, creascS the interest excited by his mys
, terious origin and the outer nature o
, his social atfinities.

What we predicted two years ago has
been more than fulfilled. An Organiza-
ton of the honest citizens, without re-
gard to political or other distinctions,
against the corrupt, the vcnal and plum
dcring, is that which our situation inn
i,cratively demands. It is now ialpa-
blc to all rejecting citizens that disputes
and divisions, with reference to party
lines and political principles and doc
trincs, are ill-timch, frivolous and mis-
chicvous. This State and people have
become the prey of the most audacious
plundcrcrs that ever soughtt to lay waste

When we read these lines, we said
mentally to OurSclf: GLOW much Il

Has the Times come to the cOnclu-
sion that u man can embrace Radical
ism and remain honest? That nc can
freely mix with corruption and still be
incorruptibic" There is IL right party
and a wrong party; one is essentially
dishonest and the other honest. When

New Hampshire at the White House

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer relates tho follow
ing:
The news from New Hampshire Gro
ated CONSERVATION at the Presidential
mansion yesterday morning. 1t seemed
as though the hour had come, so graph
ically described by the historian of
France, who says that "Whcn the morn
ing sun arose there was no King in
France" His EXcellcncy the prcsi-
dent, who sleeps very sOundly, was up
bright and early, and the discouraging
intelligence settled like IL blight upon
his spirits. Strange as it may seem, il
happened that Senator Patterson had
made an engagement to call upon the
President that very morning to lay be-
fore him tho claims OF Il young man
named Eli Burgers, of Concord, who
was desirous of being appointed Assist
ant Secretary of the Berlin Legation.
The Now Hampshire Senator was
promptly on hand, and, after passing
the Dent ordeal, reached the room S:.
cred to Ulysses. As soon as Ulysses
saw him he seemed to fill with rage
With n voice still husky with the matn
tinal cocktail, he said: "Wcll, Senator
you Yankees up in New Hampshire
arc cutting IL nice figure. I admire tho
quality of your Rcpublicanism. 1t i,
very encouraging, indeed. l think w
had better not bother much about Tho
distribution of patronage in that Stat,
to-day. You had better speak to Sum
ncr. Damn me, if haven't half n no
! ton to ask Butler to introduce Il bill il

New Hampshire took his departure
not altogether satisfied in his mind tina
he would call again.

reason tell us that udcious stimulation is required
To resort to violent purgation in such is alb

done every day Yes this stupid and unphilosophcal
practice is continued in the teeth of the great fact
that physical weakness with all the disturb
ances that accompany it is certainly and rapidly
relieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than by any
other medicine at present known. 1t is true that
general debility is often attended with torpdty or
irregularity of the bowels and that this symptom
must not be overlooked. But while the discharge of
the waste matter of the system Is expedited or regu
lated its vigor must be recruited. The Bitters do

removing distractions from the bowels they tone and

circulation regulated the blood reinforced with
accession of the alimentary principle, the nerves

A Will and a Way.

A boy raised one hundred cucumbers,
which he sold for pickles, and gave the
proceeds for missions. A young man
planted one potato on land that his
aunt allowed for the purpose. it yield
ed peck for second planting. These
yielded seven and half bushels, which
sold for enough to make what was re-
garded generous donation. A lady in
Pennsylvania had a missionary hen
which supplied her with an annual con-
tribution. A man who could not think
of anything else he could spare, conse-
Grated gooseberry- bush for missions.
This could be put in fence corner, and
was clear gain all around. A poor col
ored sister wanted to help send the
gospel to tell the poor heather about
Jesus, who lived and died for us as well
as for her. What can me do p
Where there is will there is way.
Before getting to her cabin, the way was
found. She had a few chickens, which
she called her own. Taking one Of the
fattest and finest of the flock, she tied
a piece of red flannel to its leg, and
gave it to the Lord. "Sissy," she said
to the chicken, "dis is the missionary
mark. Now you's a missionary chick

dey's missionary. All of your pullets
dey's missionary too. Now, go bout
your business"
