Good Testimony.


Ina recent speech of Senator Buck
ingham. the following was said In
reference to President Grants person-
al habits, which should be satisfactory
on that subject, he being President Of
the State Temperance Union, and an
officer in the Congressional Temper
ance Society. and not likely to be a
superficial observer on that point:
A deal has been said about the
habits of President Grant. twill not
be possible for me to prove a negative,
therefore | can't say; can't prove
that the President has been under the
influence of Intoxicating drinks. but
will say this, that have seen him and
been with him on various occasions,
public and private. at his house and
mine, and | have known something of
his habits of life. | was with him on
| the Fourth Of July two years ago. l
entertained him at my table. | went
with him to the city OF New London,
and there we sat at the public table,
where there was wine. | don't know
that he drank a drop; ifhe had drank
anything Of consequence | should have
known it. After dinner lie was sut-
fering very severely with headache,
and 1t was difficult for him to meet
his friends; and yet he stood for over
an hour to receive their congratula-
tions. went with him to the steam
boat, and atterward to the hotel,
where, when he retired, he was still
suffering. Now, | say this. that he
had one of those periodical headaches
which he has at times, when he can
not entertain men. and that it is in
consequence of this that the people
have gone away and reported that be-
cause Of his habits he was unable to do
business. | will say further, that |
have never seen him when he has been
any more under the influence OF ardent
spirits than our chairman is now.
| Applause | will say of the men
who are acquaiutedwith him, that |
never saw one or heard one say that
4 lie had ever seen him under the intlu-
ence of Intoxicating drinks. | say
that these reports in regard to his hab-
its are, in my judgement, the reports
of enemies. Loud applause. They
are base slanders. Renewed applause.
There is nothing in his habits or char
actcr which robs me of my confidence
in him. know that he is a man Of
great integrity. and | don't believe
that there is any reward you or any
one can bestow that will make him
swerve from the course which Is toI
the best interests of this Republic.
will say further, that | have never
known Il public man who appeared to
be governed less by personal ambition
than Ulysses s. Grant. [Applause.

him in private and in public, and you
will have to be with him more than

Laura ID. Fair.

The trial of Laura d. Fair, of San
Francisco. for the murder of Crltten-
den. has at last terminated in her ac-
quittal. She was previously tried for
this crime, found guilty and sentenced
to be hung; but through the skillful
management Of her eminent counsel,
she was granted new trial. 1t took
some eight days to secure a jury who
had not formed any opinion OF her
case; but this. having been done. and
the testimony having been psesented
to them, and the comments ofthe coun-
sci upon it, they reverse the decision
of the former jury, and restore her to
freedom. From this may be seen the
imperfeetion and unreliability of hui
man arbitration, as administered
through juries.

The Relation OF Fnrty Leaders to
tl.G People.

The theory ofour government lodges
the supreme power in representatives
elected by the people. These repre-
e4,ntatiyes so selected become tie
agents of the people to carry into effect
their wishes, as expressed in their
platforms. Hence they are not mas
tiers. but servants; and if they adopt,
or endeavor to carry out any line of
policy not recognized in the platform,
the principles of which they are
pledged to support, they in effect re-
verse the order of relation, taking up
ON themselves the authority and digni-
ty which is wholly NE province of the
people. There may have been times
in the history of the Republic when
this could have been done by some cm-
inent leaders with sucCess-especially
might this have been the case in the
early history Of the country. while the
Influences Of Royalty were yet unneu-
tralized by years of progressive en-
Iigh.enment and experience; but to
the glory of the great masses of the
American people may it be said, that
that day no longer exists. The great
party in power, constituting SO large a
numerical majority Of the citizen ele-
ment of the country, will tolerate no
public servant for a moment, who pre-
sumes to depart from its clearly defin-
Ell line Of principle and policy, as en-
bodied in its platform. The people
have grown in intelligence and virtue,
and can no longer be influenced in
their political acton by the mere in
fluence Of name. They have become
capable of discriminating between the
man and the principles which he adj
vocateS; and hence apublic servant is
now held in favorable regard in pro-
portion to tie ability and consistency
and earnestness with which he advo-
Gates and defends the principles of the
party. Charles Sumner, and Trum-
bull, aud Schurz. failed to comprehend
the true character of the people be-
longing to the Republican party. their
Intelligence and relation to them,
when they endeavored to estange
them from their principles, by turning
them into new channel Of political
policy. To-day they, and the rest of
the renegades from the party, the
would-be leaders of the Republican
hosts into Chappaquack pastures, stand
ont before the American people. for
saken by their old-time friends, exam
pies of vanity and egotism, sacrificed
,rpon the altar Of their own pertidy.
They thought to flourish in their
schemes of selfish glorifcation. but

for this purpose, have left them to the
remorse and chagrln of political sui
cides. Let the people continue to

Why hasn't Gen. Banks made that
speech in New York city OH the sub
iect of the national finances? 1t was
announced that he was going to, and
no speech on that theme has as yet
eminated from this hero Of Red river.
We guess the reason why he has not
done so, is because he has discovered
that the financial minds Of New York
have no more confidence in his finan-
cial ability, than army men have in
his military ability, or honest men
have in his integrity. He is q politi-
clan that needs to 60 to soak.

1t is announced IN the dispatches of
the 9th ult., that Peter CaltN right,
the famous Methodist pioneer preacher
is no more. lie died at his residence
in Pleasant Plains, ILL.,, September
25th, aged 81 years. His long service
in the itinerancy. extensive travels and
many peculiar adventures growing
out of his eccentric character, have
rendered his name a household word
in multitudes of families, East and
South. as we'll as West. He was en-
dowed with unconquerable determina-
tion, tremendous energy and sterling
integrity; and though like many Of
the early itinerants, he received but
little intellectual culture from the
schools of his day, yet by the untiring
application of his own unassisted ener-
gy, he succeeded in becominga most
eloquent and powerful advocate ofthe
truth, and thousands in his day were
influenced to choose life of piety by
his ministerial labors. Though his
mission was one of peace, yet he did
not hesitate, in extreme cases, where
moral influences seemed to fail, to re-
sort to personal physical force, with
which nature had amply endowed him,
and some instances are narrated in his
history of where rowdyish men at
eampmeetings were brought to their
knees and prayer, by the vigor of his
blows. He has been the only minis
ter, we believe. in the United States,
connected with the N. f. Church, who
occupied conSeeutively the office of
Presiding Elder for fifty years. We
join with multitpdes of Others through
ont tile country, whom the announce
ment of his death will reach, in drop
ping a tear to his memory.
