OF the past. According to the London
Times, the two and half shilling piece
has ceased to be coined ut tho British

proposed modification of the English
currency has, it is stated, revived the
proposition TINT n terpennY piece, cor
responding in value to the French franc,

these new coins would be equal to the ex-
listing half crown, and five would he equal
to the American dollar. But the British

fondness for the time. honored crown a nd

Pastoral Address of tie Archbishops and Bishops
Of Ireland.

The following arc extracts from this
most important pastoral, which was pub
lished in the London Tablet of the 4.h of
November:
Dearly Belored Brethren,-As pastors of
YOUR souls, for which "when the Prince of
Pastors shall appear" we must render a
strict account, we deem it our duty to ad-
dress you at present on subject in which
your eternal interests and those of your
children and your children's children are
deeply involved. We have done SO on
many occasions but never in circumstan-
ces more critical than the present. Assured
of the love with which you cherish the
ancient faith of Ireland, and of your desire
to hand it down to your sons, pure and un-
| sullied, and knowing the union of minds
and hearts which has always subsisted be-
tween you and your Bishops, we confident,
ly address to you words of instruction and
advice on the important subject of the
education of your children. Whilst every
where throughout Christianity the greatest
efforts are being made to Danish religion
from the school, and thus to estrange youth
from God and His Church, it is incumben
on us to use renewed vigilance, and OF
you, dearly beloved brethren, to lister
with even greater attention than usual t.

HRRSnNE.
Over bridge of thirty years
Twolives havo safely passed,
Standing to. day in the golden glow,
By Loves effuleence cast.
Hand in hand and heart to heart
They have walked His bridge of years.
Giving each other only their smiles,
Offering to God their tears!
And now they pause on this bridge Of time
To think of the long ago,
And gaze on the future stretching on
Whittier their footsteps go.
Over this bridge of thirty years
Dark Sorrows clouds have come,
Beuding their heads to its bitter touch,
And dimming the joys OF home:
Bpt Faiths sweet sunshine soon dispened
The gloom left by his wings
Who darkens at the Master word
Earth. brightest. hottest things.
Around this bridge of thirty y ears
Misfortune's waves have rolled;
rrhev could not daunt the faithful hearts
By mutual love made bold
Far of this bridge of thirty years
Two younger lives have passd
Up to that brighter Home Of Love
Whers joys forever last:
And two, in robes Of brida white'
On newer paths have trod,
While one within o clustered home
Gives all her heart to God!
Beyond this bridge Of thirty years
We trust Future leads
Along an equal length of days.
As bright with noble deeds.
May all the joys that cheered the past
Re.ghd the yeara-to come,
And all of grief be banished far
From out their hearts and home,
he still the future path as fair
AS that their feet have trod
while hand in hand and heart to heart
They journey on to God.
Be now the pledge in glowing "ine'
Which all of us must pay
..Mavth Bride and Groo OF thirty years
See their Golden WedoipS.day!

A RADICAL UNITED STATES SENA-
TOR ON TRIAL. -


The United States Circuit Court for Ar
kansas met at L tile Rock on the 9th inst,
and the case of United States Senator Clay
ton, for the violation of the Congressional
enforcement act, was called. Clayton's
counsel demurred to the indictment on the
ground: first, that the nineteenth, twentieth
and twenty-first sections of the act are I'M
constitutional; second, that the United
States Court has no jurisdiction over the
Governor of State; third, that the Gov
ernor is not an election officer within the
meaning Of the act. 1t will be noted, says
the st. Louis Republican, that Clayton does
not boldly plead notguilty Of the frauds charg-
ed on him, and demand proof; he clutches at
technicalties, and endeavors to get rid
of the case before il reaches trial
of the facts. This is rather
pitiable spectacle for a Senator Of the
United States and trusted member of the
administration party to be in. he does
not deny that he committed the election
frauds charged against him, and by means
of which he is believed to have reached the
Senate; but he denies the constitutionality
of the law which his own party passed; and
he seeks shelter behind the dogma of State
rights by pleading that the Governor Of a
State is not amenable to a law of Congress.
The public will watch the progress of this
case with some interest. Twenty other
cases of election frauds, all committed by
Clayton's friends, are to come before the
court.

1.-The UNION AND AMERICAN says that
the true policy of the Democratic party at
the present moment is to organize, if pos
sible more firmly. The vigorous mainte-
nance of the Democratic organization is
warmly recommended by that paper as the
'sureSt yea, only way of securing the sue
cess of its principles do not hesitate to
say in view of existing facts that this is pre-
cisely the surest mode of defeating its prin-
ciples." ..-- ... .a-r .r..
Thus writes one of the leaders of the new
movement party in the Bonner of yester-
day; one who unfortunately cannot dis
glise his style, one who at one time endors-
ed Gen. Grant; one Who says that the Or
ganization of the Democracy is the surest
mode Of defeating its principles. From this
the UNION AND AMERICAN does most EN-
phaticaly and distinctly dissent. Organiza-
ton is the life of the party. In no other
way can it have vitality Or exert influence
In the letter of Gen. Wade Hampton, from
which we quoted yesterday, he says:
The Northern Democracy will have to
bear the burden of the fight in the next
Presidential contest, and it is only right
that they should choose the field and select
the standard-bearers. When the
platform is announced and the candidates
selected, the Democracy of the South can
ratifv the action of the National COnven-
ton. and they can use every effort 10 secure
the success Of the party, for on its success
depends the existence of the Southern
States.
Commenting on this letter ofGen. Hamp-
ton, we said and repeat:
As to who shall be the candidate, and
how he shall be selected, are matters for
future consideration and determination.
Upon these points the events intervening
between this and the time for action may
throw some satisfactory light. But who
ever may be the candidate, and in whatever
manner he may be selected, there is no
earthly hope of his success without the uni
ted action of the Democrats of all the States.
Let us have, in the language of Gen. Hamp-
ton, "a good platform and as acceptable can
didates as possible" We may then win the
battle. We can at least preserve our South
ern States from the rlIinOus policy Of Radi-
cal legislation. UNITED WE STAND; DIv!-
DED WE FALL.
Let the Democracy remember that the
only sure means Of success is through thor
ough organization. The good sense and
sound discretion of the National DemOcra-
cy will wisely determine the course that we
should pursue. Let us not yet be running
after strange gods. The Millennium has
not yet arrived. The only national party
now in existence is the Democratic While
we maintain our organization, We viii pre-
serve our influence, and have power TO die
tate terms in any and every event. DEMO

THE RES1TLT OHIO.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is not dishelr-
tened at the result of the recent electionin
Ohio. That paper says that in considering
the result these facts should be borne in
mind: First, That with the single eXcap-
ton of 1862 the Republicans have carried
Ohio every year since 1858 on the popular
vote by maiorities usually ranging up in the
tens of thousands. Two years ago the ma
jority against Mr.. PendletOn for Governor
was in the neighborhoCd of 5000. Last
year, when some 1900 negro votes We're
added to the poll, the majority was about
1000. Second, In the canvass this wear.
we were unfortunately crippled hy the sick
ness of our candidate for Governor. whowas
unable to fulfill his appointments and Give
that personal atten ton to them. which !,
usually expected from him. The Admins
tration made the most extraordinary eyer-
ton in order 10 secure the reelection of sen
ator Sherman. 1t put its thousand of office
holders to work. 1t made its demand upon
the National banks and the manufacturing
corporations for subsidies, all of which
were literally answered. Its Cabinet of
icers patrolled the State, and every effort
which thorough organization, long vie
tOrious, could make, was resOrted to for
success. The Democracy had none of
these appliances, so important in securing
general attendance at the polls, in their
favor. They were without patronage.
and, 10 a very considerable extent, their
organization was defective. That We should
have failed to releem the State, can hardly
be a surprise but TO the most sanguine. 1t
is true, that we had the advantage on the
issues of principle and policy, but such Is

The New York Commercial Advertiser
(RadicaD tells the following anent the New
York Radical convention at Syracuse:
Waldo Hutchins thanked God that the
boiling delegation "had courage and manli-
ness enough to take their hats and leave the
convention" A Methodist delegate from

Hutchins had gone sleetle" too far, and
accordingly rebuked him for his profanity.
"You are right, returned Waldo, drawing
his 'tile" still further down the back of his
neck and blowing off in the gampuslike
manner peculiar to him. "You are right,

creditors from selling that portion Of the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad lying in
the State of Georgia or any of the rolling
stock belonging to the road, and appointing
