Keep Cool,

We are in the midst of the dog days,
and politics bid fair to grow warmer
as tue weather becomes cooler. 1t is
not worth while for men of either party
to lose their senses or their tempers
over the canvass, important AS the con
test is, nor is it worth while, we sub
nit, to indulge in those personalities
which are sure to intlame the minds of
the people, and especially of those
falsely accused, Differences of opinion
in politics as in religion ought to be
tolerated, and personal abuse and Ii
bells no 0 provoked o INDUCED
in in the one case than in the other.
Provocation by false accusation is sure
to beget retaliation, and is therefore
the first offence to be avoided. The
politics Of 1872 show simply q reyolu-
ton, and men not welded to partisan,
ought to rejoice when they see
Did enemies made friends, old issues,
which were the cause Of quarrel in the
past, dead and gone, and old sectional
platforms broken in pieces because the
foundations upon which they rested
IRE put out of sight. The Democrats,
n supporting Mr.. Greeley, have shown
tolerance and forbearance, a patriot
sm and patience. a love Of principle
Ibove men or party, that ought to COM
mend them to all not welded to party,
|
md sincerely looking to the best inter
of the country. In ~vindicating
'ur W policy as to what is right, we
10 not expect to provoke attacks, and
mean to repel them in the best spirit
We can. We hope to be able to pre-
something like the courtcsies be.

This is u very small majority, and not

or curse the Democratic candidate
for Governor will contest the election,
The Legislature is adverse to the Rad,
calls by about Is majority on joint bal,
lot, and when the frauds shall be OK
posed, Mr.. Merriman, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, will be placed
in his mcritcd position.
Upon the whole, the result Of the
North Carolina election is evidence Of
the waning power OF Grant. A large
majority has been nearly overcome,
in spite Of the llands practiccd and the
money spent, by the Administration in
the hope to make political capital.
The feeling Of the people has been
manifested in tic fact that the Demo
Gratis have elected five out OF eight
Congressman to be elected, and have
a majority Of eighteen in the LegisIa-
laturc. In view Of al this--or the
frauds and bayonets used to bring
about a Radical triumph, the Home
Journal must say Well done, thou Old
North State.

conclusive, and must exercise 4 ire

a correspondent Of the New York
Express writes n lively letter from IIa-
vana, and we make the following cx-
tract, which possesses interest especial.
ly to ladies':
"The weather has, since the 18th,
been remarkably pleasant, and, after
sunset, the Grand Plaza is crowded
with u galaxy Of beauty. 1t is at that
particular place the youth and beauty
ofHavana resort, and ladies Of darkest
hue to the lightcst blonde OF the North
are seated in their "volantes," listen.
ing to the beautiful music by the Ma
rine Band, which discourscs sweet mu-
sic every evening, or chatting with
some young gent, or, perhaps, prone.
nading on the plaza with n lady friend,
followed closely by her parents or
brother, Speaking Of this anti-Ameri-
can custom reminds me Of the Circas-
sian mode of treatment to females, and
| fancy that if Susan B. Anthony and
her satellites, or the Sorosis Club, had
a taste OF Cuban life, their tongues
would be forever sealed as TO their
privileges in the States. Ladies are
absolutely prisoners here. To appear
on the street without an escort, even in
the daytime, is sure to bring the misses
Of a crowd, and perhaps an insult, The
ladies Of Havana, therefore, have to
conform TO Custom-cithCr stay in
doors or employ Il carriage to take
them, if only y few blocks distant, and
when attending II party, picnic or
ball, always be accompanied by their
mothers. This close system Of watch
ing females is not productive Of good,
and the result is that they are not as
healthy and robust as they might be,
and by close confinement their OIL
spring are pnny and sickly, and in q
moral point Of view it is equally disas-
trous. If it was not for the healthy,
robust Spanish ladies that cmigrate
here, this race would in a century or
two become extinct. One may see
here a cOnglOmeration Of nearly all IA
ces known. The Chinese aud African,
the African and Spanish, the Cuban
and African, and, in fact. every con
cciyabIe form Of marriage is INDUCED
in, the result of which | leave you to
draw your own conclusion"

FIX Secretary Of the Navy, Gideon
Wclles, has written q letter to y friend
in Boston, the main points Of which
are as follows:
at would have been diniculs to have
found a more disagreeab!e, ohjccticna
bic candidate to three fourths of the
men who must vote for him, if he is to
be elected, than Horace Greeley. But,
while | have for a lifetime been CD.
posed to Greeley on most subjects, |
think him infinitely preferable to
Graft. The question is not n personal
one, and ought not to be 50 considered
The Republican party has performed
its mission, It's organization is kept
up and prolonged, not to promote es-
scntial principles, not for the interests
Of the country, hut TO subservc the sell
fish purpose Oi Il few individuals who
have their own ends to accomplish.
Under these circumstances, Il change
Of administration is absolutely neces-
sary. We must get rid Of Grant,
Grantism, and the hateful policy which
Tor several years has been pursued, or
our federal system of United States
will be entirely subverted. Let the
Government become consolidated and
disruption will soon follow. We shall

factions. Grant has evidently no com
prehension Of our governmental sys
tenn nor does he care much for 1t.
10 command and obey are his IDEAS Of
government. He knows nothing of
constitutional restraint. The place he
occupies lie considers his right-a per-
qnisite he has earned. We must get
rid of this man and his evil surround
ings. Greeley is not the man | would
have selected, but his election would
advance, an Improvement on the pres.
,nt state Of things. A crooked stick
nay be made available to beat a mad
log. 1t is necessary that we should
dismiss minor differences and concen-
rate on one candidate. If we cannot
ave our first choice, let us have the
we can get. If we can elect a new
magistrate we can elect n new

The burning Of Chicago involved the

TO real estate in Cook county, and last
winter Il law was passed by the Illinois
Legislature for the relief Of property
holders, which provided for the pur
chase at q fair price Of certain books
and abstracts Of title which were pre-
served from the flames, and are the
property Of private parties. These
books comprise in all about two hun,
drcd volumes, and belong to three
firms, who act as onc party in their

appears that n fair price for these
