1t is pity that so many able jour

their readers patience, tllreshing tie
Fair. Here is one, insisting that the
Democratic party must be straight
way revived in its integrity. Here ID
another, declaring that the union Of
the Liberal Republicans and the Dem
Ocrats is q marriage for better or
worse, till death do them part. Here
is a third, clamorous for free trade, or
at the very least, revenue reform, as
the great focal idea, about which is
to begin a new party capitalization.
Would it not be as well to remember
that parties are not manufactured, by
politicians out of employment, but
growsfrom the wants Of the day I e.5..
And the want of to-day is quiet
The public mind is not unnaturally
weary Of incessant demands for reform
and exposures Of corruption. No good
is going to come Of forcing further
discussion out Of season. It will come
up i'll season soon enough-only too
soon, we fear, unless the approaching
session Of Congress proves an excep-
ton to all that Of late years preceded
it. But just now, the politician who
insists. on demanding Of wearied
public, which, satisfied or disgusted,
has acquiesced in the popular decision,
fresh attention to new lines of politi-
cal attack, mistakes the time and the
popular temper, and hinders the cause
he would help. Gen. Grant has just
received new lease of power. Let
him have time to show what he is
going to do with it. When he goes
wrongs, attack him. While he does
right, sustain the President of forty
millions. II he places more unfit men.
in Office, give him the same censure
with which of late he has been justly
visited. II the Caseys and Cramers
should get no further countenance,
the men who have censured him
ought to be 1irst-if they have the
good Of the country rather than par
tisan advantage at heart-to recog
ilize and encourage the reform.
The grievances which the CINCINNATI
Convention recited were real griev-i
ances. One of them, the refusal of
was largely remedied, al
most befole the delegates reached
their homes. Others the Philadelphia
Convention literally promised to re-'
form; and since the election, we have
seen willingness to make the prom
Use good in at least one instance, in;
the civil service. To the Liberal Re-:
publican movement both gains may
fairly he credited. So long as the,
leaders of that movement conteDted
themselves with protests, little seemed;
to come of it. When they organized
open opposition, the Administration
men hastened to confer Amnesty, and
to reproduce in their promises the es-I
sential demands OF the Cincinnati
platform. If these promises are kept,
we shall be the last to complain that
has succeeded in extorting4
what support an appeal could not
win. We welcomed adoption of our
principles, and Abandonment Of the.
of the old hostility to the results Of
the war, by the. Democracy. With
equal gladDess, we shall welcome any
step which the Administration may
take in the way Of effecting the re-
forms we have demanded. i

The late census shows that the NUM-
Der of horses in the country is nearly
nine millions, or about double whit
it was in 1850. They are estimated to
be worth $659, ,797 ,9l6, the average
price Of each animal being set down
ut about seventy-three dollars. The
mules in the United States are said
to number ,276, 800, Which are valued
ut S3,242, ,2i9. From these figures an
idea Of the present epizootic calamity
may be formed.-NatcheS NcW South.

been pointed out to me as Mr.. Cole, q
leading politician Of the country.
BY and by l observed the old gen
tieman pause and look at Mr.. Cole
very closely. Mr.. Cole raised his
mild blue eye, and gazed dreamily at
the old gentleman. Presently the lat

"I've been there frequently"
"Ha, ha, hal" laughed the old
gentleman. "Thats's very good. But
really, 1 think I've met you some
where or other before tonight"
1t is not improbable" was Mr..
Coles reply. " AT all events" he con-
tinued, with a twinkle in his blue
eyes, there's no reason why we
shouldn't know each other now.''

man, s'here's my hand" 32-t 60
Mr.. Cole took the hand very care
fully into his, worked it up and down
once or twice, and then restored it to
the old gentleman. This seemed to
introduce them, and they got to talk
ing. As I had nothing else to do, I
smoked my cigar and watched them.
Presently, after walking up aud down
the passage, they came and stood so
near to where I was that could not
but overhear all that passed.

gentleman, Strengthening himself up,
and putting his cane under his arm
with flourish. s.... .-4..u. ~r
Mr.. Cole looked at him as he de-

his head on one side. @

swered, after having apparently con-
sidered him attentively for a few mo-
ments.
"Over sixty, sir" the old gentle
man said, cutting it up into syllables,
and placing his right forcfinger some
where on Mr.. Coles waistcoat. "And
what do You thinki" he added.
Mr.. Cole threw himself into a
thoughtful attitude, but said nothing.
" What do you think, sir?" the
venerable man went on, Z" I was mar

The venerable gentleman seized Mr..
Coles hand, and shook it like a
small earthquake. How remark

both married on last Tuesday," And
he kept on squeezing Mr.. Coles hand
and shaking it with the energy of an
early friend. Then they went up to
