Hon. George II. Pendleton was on
the floor of the House in Washing
ton on Monday, and Washington
letter writer informs US that con-
siderable comment was excited over
the fact that during Mr.. Pendleton's
stay on the floor Senator Sehurz
came over from the Senate and was
engaged in confidential conversation
with the leading Democratic MEM
bers in the cloak room Immediately

as a consequences, much speculation

Reform Demanded.

Mr.. Leonard SWEET, prominent
Republican of Illinois, recently
wrote letter on the national can
vass, which has been extensively
published throughout the country.
Mr.. SWEET was formerly an intimate
friend of Mr.. Lincoln's. He oppos-
ses General Grants reelection, and
favors the organization of a new re-
form party at Cincinnati. The let
ter was addresse to another Repub-
lican, Mr.. Jesse w. Fell, of Bloom
ington, to whom he says:
You and l became Republicans at
the same meeting-the first in the
State. Although for many years re-
tired members, l presume neither
of us have ever voted out of line
Another Presidential election is now
upon US, and we must decide, again,
whether we win cling to the party,
sitting our convictions and hoping
for reform, or whether we VIII
break ranks and go TO Cincinntti.
If we stay, when will reform
come have been watching for II
for seven years, but the star of pro-
mise has not yet appeared. A
change of parties may not bring II;
but to continue in power one that
covers up and eonceals, necessarily
perpetuates those evils from which
the country seeks release. Parties
like individuals, may be chastenec
and purified by affliction, but neith
er Tammany nor the Republicans
will be regenerated by success
though their rule be chartered unit
doomsday. The disintegration o
one dissolves the other. l, therefore
most sincerely hope the Cincinnati
Convention viii produce a new ma
tional organization, founded upol
the principles of amnesty, and liber
ty, and reform; and that through 1t
agency the bitterness of the pas
may be forgotten, national friend
ship revived, and the blessings Q
free government dispensed to a
people in the land.

THE GERIAN REPUBLIcANs.

1t is easier and infinitely more
just to build railways by corporate,
county and city, than by individual
subscriptions. Notes and sub
scriptions of individuals cannot be
used as a basis OF loans, and of one
hundred thousand dollars subscrib-
ed by corporations, and an equal
sum subscribed by individuals, the
corporate subscription is worth
most and will produce most. The

GOLDEN WoRDs.-Without any
regard TO Presidential combina-
tions, Judge David Davis deserves
well of his country for the utter
ance of these golden words from the
bench of the Supreme Court, in the
Milligan case:
S"Ths Constitution of the United
States is law for rulers and peO-
pie equally in war and in peace, and
covers with the shield of its prOtee-
ton all classes of men, at all times
and under all circumstances. Nc
doctrine involving more perniciOus
consequences was ever invented by
the wit of man than that any of its
provisions can be suspended during
any of the exigencles of the Govern
ment. Such a doctrine leads di
rectly to anarchy and despotism
| but the theory of necessity on which
it is based is false, for the govern
| ment within the Constitution hai
all the powers granted to it which
are necessary to preserve its exis
tence, as has been happily provided
by the result of the great effort t
throw off its just authority"

ARrLEss SISIPLICITY.-One OF
the sweetest incidents which we
have noticed for many q day-and
one which shows the effect Of early
training, assisted by pure and un-
defiled imagination-has just fallen
under our observation. 1t is thus
related:
A lady visited New York city,
and saw on the sidewalk a ragged,
cold and hungry little girl, gazing
wistfully at some of the cakes in \
shop window. She stopped, and
taking the little one by the hand,
led her into the store. Though she
was aware that bread might be bet
ter for the cold child than cake, yet
desiring TO crafty the shivering and
forlorn one, she bought and gave
her the cake she wanted. She then
took her to another place, where
she procured her q shawl and other
/ articles of comfort. The grateful
little creature looked the benevo,
lent lady up full in the face, and
with artless simplicity said: "Ars
YOU Gods wife?" Did the most el
oquent speaker ever employ wordl

SEEsIBLE.-Lorenzo Dow was
once travelling in the west, and hav-
ing occasion to stop over night at q
public house somewhere on the Mis-
sissippi, he was greatly annoyed by
the loud and bOastful conversation
of a lot of river men and desperate
characters who had assembled in
the bar-room. Each one was noisy
in praise of some favorite weapon
of defense and offense and their dis
mute was divided between revolvers
and bowie knives, when one turned

weapon do you carryT" Common
sense, and mind my own business,
repIied Dow, and from that moment
his reputation was established.

GOV. Palmer against Grant.

SPRINGFIELD, April 15.-The an
longer a candidate before the Re-
publican State convention of May
22d creates great CONSERVATION
among the followers of Gen. Grant.
1t has also transpired that Governor
Palmer, on the 18th inst, wrote
Senator Trumbull that he would
support the nominee of the Cincin-
natl convention, if that body Sc
lected for its candidate a statesman
whose political record and private
life have been such as can secure the
confidence of the country.
Gov. Palmer's well-earned militia
ry reputation, his adherence to the
written constitution and laws, and
his ability and standing throughout
the nation, and especially in the
great West, as a statesman and pa.
triot, has created the belief with
very many people that he is the pro-
per person to nominate for the Lib
eral Republican candidate for the
Presidency at Cincinnati.

Here are the ideas of a platform
recently adopted by the German
Liberal Republicans in San Francis
CO:
1. Election of United States Sena-
tors by popular vote.
2. One term principle for Presl-
dents.
8. Reservation of the public do
main for actual settlers.
4. Civil-service reform.
5. New international policy.
6. The amelioration of the coRdi-
ton of the workers.
6. General Amnesty.
8. Pledging candidates under OATH
and if they perjure themselves send
them to the penitenitiary.
9. Against future subsidies.
10. Abolition of protective tariffs

saws, as we believe, that the Ger
man Liberal Republicans of Califor'

way in platform-making, and II
would be difficult to conceive of any

TAKING CARE OF SOLDIERS
WIDOWS

One of the resolutions of the Philadel-
phia platform says: "The widows and or
phans of those who died for the country
are entitled to the care Of a generous and
grateful people," The New York Tribune
says a soldiers widow, who is postmistress
Of a small office in Massachusetts, was &C
cordingly somewhat surprised when she
received the following Communication, the
other day, from the Hon. and Rev. James
Harlan, Chairman Of the resident Grant
Committee at Washington:
believing that you feel a deep interest
in the success Of the Republican candidates
for President and Vice President, we take
the liberty TO inclose the Committees print
ed letter requesting contributions to aid in
publishing documents and dafraying other
necessary expenses of the campaign. If
you can conveniently forward as early as
practicable forty (S40) dollars, it will be
gratefully received and promptly acknOwl-
edged. Very respectfully,
"JAMES HARLAN, Cbm'n.n
The Tribune adds: "The whole business
of political assessments is a scandal and a
disgrace, but when it comes to taking forty
dollars from soldiers widow to help along
the scheme for keeping Grant in the White
House, the business is worse than scandal
Gus; it is mean beyond all expression"

THE FRANKING OUTRAGE.

The New York Tribune of the 9TH inst.
says:
Notwithstanding the discovery and ex-
posure of the felonious fraud, the whole
sale forgery of franks still goes on at Wash
ington, and the mails are burdened with
Grant and Wilson documents bearing the
name of this or that member Of Congress
in a great variety of handwriting. Here is
a gentleman in a neighboring State who
sends us seven envelopes received by him,
all purporting to be franked by J. II. Platt,
N. G. Now either Mr.. Platt never signs
his name twice alike or somebody has been
taken that name in vain. Has be IN de-
fianee of law authorized attorneys to do
this kind Of work for him, or has some
Grant Committeeman been doing it with
out authority"
We have in cur possession two envelopes
purpcrting to be franked by 81. II. Plat,
N. c." and the name is evidently written
by different persons. But what else could
be expected of a carpet-bagger, than that
he should, in defiance of Law, authorize
parties to frank documents in his name?
This fellow Plat represents the Petersburg
CFirginia) district in Congress, having set
tied there at the close of the war.
