THE PARTY OF THE CoxsrIrurrox.-
The Democratic party is the party Of con-

tendency OF the Federal Government since
1860. And adherence to that fidelity
will be maintained by the Democratic
party il it shall keep it out of power for a
century TO come.

the reach Of a bribe. and who can neither
be coaxed, fattered nor intimidated into
ong-doing.

The news from Chicago yesterday, of the
termination Of the suit Of General Buckner
for property amounting in the aggregate to
over million of dollars, created much in
terest and excitement in the city. The par
ticulars Of this somewhat romantic case,
which we published some time ago, win be
remembered. About the commencement Of
the war the wife Of General Buckner made
over to her brother, who was on the federal
side, large amount of property. He after
ward married, and was killed at Antietam.
A child was the issue OF the marriage, and
its family, in its name, laid claim to the
property, and the suit which has lust ter
minated in General Buckners favor was
the result. The decision provides that the
back rents Of the property, amounting to
about $4,000, which is in the hands Of
the court, be turned over to the
plaintiff. and also the interest on the money
in question. The particulars received yes
terday were very meager, and are in sub
stance Of the above import. C}f

Up to the present writing we hear of no
more caves in the river banks since our last
report. For the matter of that we care not
if we never hear of them again. They are
entirely useless to us, and not particularly
advantageous to the river that We know Of.

cidedly consoling in these times Of general
poverty and pecunisry tightness. and In
