dattsry and demonstrations Of affection, they
got the old mans money. But from tha. timo
they began 70 show Indifference for him, and
at last wholly neglected him. The good old
man was very wretched and what was worse
very poor. One day his youngest daughter
wen. to see him. IN the course Of The conver-
sation, che suggested to him that he might gain
the good will OF hor and her sisters husbands
BY pretending TO be still rich. The old man
seeing the idea good one, resolved at once 20
act on 1t. He went 10 friend OF his, bank
or, and obtained an advance of money and the

The next day he invited his eons-in-aws 70

vice OF plate on the table, and still moro So
when the servant brought tho old man letter

The sons-in-lsw were confoundei, and each,

the old man 20 20 and live with him, promis-
Ing that he should receive overy attention and
everything be could possibly wish for. But

Controlling tho Elections.

The Presidents henchmon in Congress could
only carry the election project in modified
form. Two inspectors are to be appointed
ono Of each party. In regard to President
Grants purposes, the Washington Patriot
concludes an able article as follows:
lie is preparing, SO far as 1t is in his pow
er to mako such preparation, to dictate bis own
reelection, If extreme and arbitrary means can
accomplish his purpose, whether the American
people prefer linn as their Chief Magistrate or
not. In this schemoof force, based on the
idea that not tho people, but intriguing Off
cials, are practically supreme. his foremost
champions and defenders arc with him.
''Ihe whole aspect Of affairs, as presented by
the position and aims Of the dominant party is
such as TO rouse the dominant party, is
such as to rouse the country to profound con-
sciousness of the steps that have been taken
away from a: once the form and spirit Of dem
ocratic government, and of the true condition
of affairs. There are two vital truths which it
is imperatvoy demanded should be taught
anew 10 the Radical party, now grown inso-
lent aud overbearing from long-continued con-
troll and to all ether parties The first is, that
the President aud all others in authority, arc
not above accountability: the second is, that
the people are supreme

Der of visitors were on the floor, when Dr.
Mary L. Walker ascended the steps to the
Clerks desk, and began a speech in behalf Of
an appropriation for nurses in the army
Warming up she soon mounted chair, threw
off her hat and began her speech in earnest
One Of the officers Of the House went to her
aud told her she could not make speech there.
To this she replied, "Very well, I will take
The Speakers stand" which she did, and re-
sumed her speech. Mr. Buxton here entered
the hall and gave positive orders to put her
out which order was obeyed Immediately,
the doctor exclaiming as she made her exit,
" Gentlemen, this will be disgrace to you as
long as you live The women have sent me
here and you have refused TO hear me-" Her
attempt TO thus gain hearing in tho House
created much amusment.- Washington Star,

Rising Of the People.

Some of the Democratic members of Con-
gress are unwilling says the Maryland RepuJ-
liccnD that the National Convention shall nomi-
nate Greeley and Brown; but insist that a
straight Democratic ticket shall be put before
the people to-be defeated We decline to ex-
press our sentiments in regard to the motives
that actuste representatives in Congress-
Thei. intentions may bo pure-in fact, we are
bound to suppose SO. But we object to the
manifest ofieTts made BY them TO dictate to the
millions Of independent Democratic voters,
who have exhibited an exalted and patriotic
desire to destroy the corruption that permeates
every fiber of our national government. To
accomplish this end, the people are rising in
their might and majesty, and are determined
nothing shall hinder their resolve. They are
even willing 20 lay aside, :or a time, the grand
shib bo!eth Of party, and TO place in The lead
of the army Of Reform, men whom they have
these many years opposed politically. In fact,
il is safe 20 say that the Democracy Is willing to
make any honorable sacrifice that gives fair
promises Of the country's release from its pres
ont intolorant th.aldom. Aud we trus. our

tions and their prejudiccs until the great fight

Tho Case Stated.

Tho Cincinnati Commercial thus briefly To-
dicatcs the policy that should govern the Demo
cratic party in the present crisis, remarking:
alt does not need an essay to show why tho
Democrats should nominate Greeley. They
approve the principles Of the platform on
which he sands, and shey can sec for them
selves that the ratification Of his nomination
by their National Convention consolidates the
opposition to Grant, whose policy they con-
demn, and makes defeat certain A few ultra
free-traders and Democratic Bourbons, trou-
bled with great principles for which tho coun-
try has no immediate use, may stand out, but
their numbers are 50 few that they will not
count In November The Democrats with
Greeley, can beat the Grant Radicals; without
him, it cannot be done. And that is the whole
