The Chicago Post makes the follow
ing point on Greeley's argument in ia
vor Of the one term principle:
Admitting all this to be true, for the
sake Of the argument, it seems to ua
that Grant and Greeley occupy precise.
" the same attitude during the pend
ing campaign. If Greeley shall be cho.
sen he will not be a candidate for re-
election in 1876. If Grant shall be
chosen lie will not be candidate 70: re-
election in 1876. So each twill have
no interest to conciliate, no chief of a
powerful clan to attach to his personal
fortunes" Each will be equally indie
pendent, and "Civil Service Reform
will be no longer difficult" to either.
They will be above the hope of future
favor. Wherein, then will Greeley
have an advantage over Grant? "The
main source Of corruption" will be
equally abolished in the case Of both ;
because both are going in for one term
only. They may have retrospective Oh.
legations to discharge; but they are
practically alike in that particular, and
both Of them will be released from the
pressure of that gratitude which con
sists in . "lively sense Of favors ex
pected."

Marrying TiDplers.

A word Of warming to young ladies
on this subject is not inappropriate
How many young women by uniting
their destinies with tipplers, or men OF
confirmed Incorporate habits have in
volved themselves in lives of sorrow,
and often shame. "Yet, in spite Of all
the Indebtedness Of drunkards' wives"
says Mr.. Cuyler. "young women are
continually willing to marry men who
ure IN the habit Of INDUCING in the 50.
cial class. Ladies often refuse the
marriage offers Of young men because
they arc 100 poor, or Of too humble a
family, or too plain in person or man
uers. But only now and then one has
good sense enough to refuse to unite
herself with man who will not pledge
himself to total abstinence. A rich aud
fashionable young man has commonly
no trouble TO get a wife, though he is
hardly sober long enough to pronounce
the marriage VOW. But tcctolar in
coarse raiment might be snubbed as a
vulgar fellow, who has never seen So
ciety. Ladies! before You begin to
s,old at me for this iu'pious thing, just
look around and sec if it is not truo.
Ladies, this is an Important subject,
and We should consider it we'll. It in.
wolves your happiness and respectable.
ity in this world, ahd perhaps your SAL
walton in the next. You should reject
the hand Of any man who INDUCES in
the Intoxicating cup. What is riches

Leroy Correspondence.
LERoY, August 9TH, 1872.


Editor Mo~er County Transcript:
T Subtitle people Of I.elsoy were
not little amused at tho announce
mcnt made in the Register last week as
follows:
strength Of Greeley and Grant, in LEROY, rs
sent US by u prominent Republican, Of thst
town: Greeley. 146; Grant, ~"
The facts are these; Greelcyitc
WHOM we take to be tho "prominent
Republican," took pains to get the
names Of all the Grcclcyites in the four
adjoining towns, and said nothing to
those whom he supposed to be straight
Republicans.
A few days ago, the Same "promi-
nent Republican" stated that there were
but two business men in LcRoy,in favor
OF Grant. a canvass Of the village
shows % business men for Grant, and
8 for Greeley. In tho township there
is not ono farmer in ten for Greeley.
There arc $1,000 here to bet with tho
" prominent Republican," or any Of
his friends, that Leroy will give Grant
a large majority in November.
We find tho "organs" are equally
as extravagant in their calculations, in
other places, but We arc sorry to sec
such wilful misrepresentation Of our
town, and the vote here next Noyem-
Der will show how prominent man the
" prominent Republican," is.

M1efortune..

Some two months ago, the Hon. j.
Q. Farmer was nominated by the Aus
tin Register, for the Office Of District
Judge. That teas his mis- fortune. Be-
fore the sitting Of the District Conveu-
ton, he published his withdrawal. Mr..
Page was nominated.
Subsequently, the Grecleyites in Fill
moro county solicited Of Mr.. Farmer per.
mission to use bic name upon their
ticket, i. O., to make him the candidate
ofthe Democrats and sore heads. While
he is considering what he had bette,
do, the Register makes second thrust
at him:-places his name in the candi.
dates column, and declares Mr.. Far.
mer to be the almost unanimous choice
Of those who: are opposed to Mr.. Page
No man can stand against such an &C
cumulation of fatalities! Whateve,
may have been his chances Of success
they arc swept completely away. What
ever may have been Mr.. Farmers am
bition, his humiliation is now complete
and, alas f! all this has been done in tn
name Of friendship! Surely = ma,
may defend himself against his enc
mics, but from his friends ~ lie need
divine deliverance.

Talking.

We have profound respect for pco-
pic who talk scnsibly and wclI-pcople
who arc certain that they have some
thing to say, and then express them
selves in SO ready and brief a manner
as to excite our admiration and COM
mand our respect. But there seems to
be some difficulty in attaining proper
medium between Il fluency Of speech,
which is apt to lead to al excessive and
tiresomc copiousncss, or that lansuor
and difficulty Of expression which causes
those Of quick and busy ideas to shun,
Us they would tho plague, persons afflict-
ed Herewith. The former fault is
generally the accompaniment Of youth,
the latter, that of age. There is no
doubt that all peculiaritics are, in a
great measure, involuntary, depending
on the talents aud character Of individ-
uals aud that they are susceptible Of
corrcctio ion cannot he denied.
The gift Of speech IS one Of distin-
gushing endowmonts of man, and one
Of his most important duties is its repu-
lation. 10 man alone is given this
wonderful faculty. Yet, like every
other gilt, it is capable Of being mis-
used and when abused, it is oharac-
tcrized in scripture, as being in itself a
"world Of inquiry" Words" says
celebrated writer, "are the only things
that never perish-words endure while
kingdoms vanish and generations pass
away"
There is a great deal of vain Thought
less, useless conversation, yielding no
possible good to the speaker or hcarer,
and it is dangerous for us to accustom
ourselves to such conversation; for it
will certainly exert a very pernicious
influence on the mind. There is also a
great deal Of censorious talking, and
this is still worse example Of the
abuse Of speech. An evil speech
uttered against young man may
affect all his relations in life may de-
stroy friendships in which his affections
and his hopes were centered, and cool
the love Of the nearest and dearest he
has known on earth.
1t should be the aim of al, and espc-
cially Of the young to guard against
vain, thouyhtless, useless conversation i;
against SANDER and meddling with the
affairs Of others. We should endeavor
to make our conversation ut all times
cheerful, pleasant and profitable, and
to DO this we have only to deal in that
which St. Paul mentions as "Souad
speech that cannot be condemned" -

DIPLOMATIC etiquette is often On

DIPLOMATIC etiquette is often anu
sing, but it is seldom more so than in
the late instance in which the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and the Em-
pire Of Japan disputed, through their
representatives,, the important point
whether the Mikado should stand up
or sit down during the reception of q
British Charge d'Affaires. As the Mi
.kado has always been accu<t omed to re-
main sitting on such occasions, he deci
ded to do so in this case, and conse
quertly a sensation has been created in
diplomatic circles, tho British Lion has
been aroused, and it is urged that re-
taliatory steps be taken with the JAP
anese minister at the Court of St
James's.. There is no knowing how
far things may be carried in retaliation.

Autumn Leaves.
BY HELEN A. RAINS.

Emblcms Of honors departed forever,
Typo Of the glorics that twinc round their
way,
Scmblancc of joys that will never, no, never,
Rise up to bless US when once they decay.
Leaves Of the forest, though now 70 have er-
ishcd,
Volumes unfold MS you come to nv view;
Friends have trusted, the hopes have ch.r-
:ished,
Moulder in ashes as lowly a. you!
Rising or falling, or drifting before me,
Wow each motion with tear filing eye,
Thinking of dreams that were late in their
glory,
Scattered, like thee, in my pathway to lie.
Sport for the wind 10 its various fancies,
Here for to-day, by Tomorrow are gone;
How like the charms Of scene that entrances,
Brilliant an hour, ere another arc flown.
Thus with the treasures that life gathers round
US,
Seasons arc changing and friendships decay;
Hopes bud with promise, but ere they have
crowned US,
Fade in their glory to anish away.
Sleep, then, in ashes, no charm eau restore
thee
Ono of tho beauties twas thine to display;
Leaves have been withered, and scattered be-
fore thee,
Soon you'll bo lying as lowly as they.
