The Campaign of SANDER.

Perhaps there was never in the history
of the government before Presidential
campaign founded so entirely upon SANDER
and Misrepresentation as the present one.
And what is the most odious as we'll as
most singular is the source from which
this wholesale Misrepresentation and vitu-
peration proceeds, and the men who lead
in it. Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull and
Greeley's Tribune may be considered the
leaders in this reign Of vituperation and
abuse, and their charges against tho Presi-
dent are mainly for executing honestly and
fairly laws which they originated and were
mainly instrumental in passing. The
military despotism exercised by the
President over the South is a leading count
in their indictment. This military des-
potism" consists in suspending the writ
of habeas corpus in two or three counties
in South Carolina where the Ku-klux had
completely over rode the civil authorities,
and created state of perfect lawlessness,
and in arresting some Of the guilty parties
and bringing them before a civil court
where they were tried, with the ablest coun-
sci in the country to defend them. That
this was done in the interest of justice none
will deny; but more than this, it was done
under the mandate of law passed by Con-
gress and originated, advocated and car
ried through Congress by Sumner, Schurz,
Trumbull, the influence of the Tribune
advocacy, and other lea ding, at present
"Liberal' slanderers. Had Greeley or Sum-
ner, or Schurz, or any of the leading lights
of the liberal conspirators been President,
could they have done less than obey the
law of their own creation, as Grant did
We do not propose to condemn the Ku-
klux laws, for we believe in common with
every friend Of humanity and order that
those laws were just and necessary, but
we refer to it in order to point out the
odious course these men are persuing t.
defeat Grant and the Republican party for
purely selfish motives. While they :re
careful not to attack the law, they heap
abuses on the President for acts which
were a necessity and unavoidable ir carry
ing out the law. Was ever device
so shallow and at the same time so
mean and dishonorable, before resorted
to, to blacken the character Of faith
full public servant, by men who pre-
sumo to stand in the pla &c of the most
exalted statesmen Of the country? That
Democrats should echo these ISLANDERS and
condemn the acts of the Administration is
but natural and consistent right or wrong
they have always done SO, but when we
find men condemning their own measure in
the attempt to manufacture political cap
ital against their own principles. it is safe
to conclude that their motives are dshon-
est If the whole catalogue of this abuse
is traced through it will be found as falla-
cious and dishonerable as the part above
pointed out. A desperate game for power
and political preference under the thread
bare garb of Reform is being played by
these ambitious politicians, with the beat
en- and demoralized Democratic party at
their backs, playing the role of pack Of
Jackals, hoping to share the prey, or the
plumber of their securing.

Horace Greeley.
"May it be written on my grave that I
never was follower of the Democratic
party, and lived and died, in nothing its
debtor.' Horace Greeley.
Reader, do you suppose the Democrats
forgive the author of the above epigrams
so easily as they pretende We do not.
They not only profess to forgive him but
have made him their candidate for Presi-
dent. The whole thing is too preposter-
Gus to deceive any person with grain of
common sense. 1t is deep laid scheme to
cheat American people by putting forward
their implacable enemy, and by pretending
to follow him steal their way to power
Once in possession of the Government, if
Greeley refused to do their bidding, he
could be as easily put out Of the way as
former Presidents have been who stood in
the way of party leaders ambition.

The Worst of the Lot.

In the early part of the reign of Louis
XVI, a German prince travelling through
France, visited the arsenal at Toulon,
where the galleys were kept. The COM
mandant, as q compliment to his rank, said
he was welcome to set free any one galley
slave whom he should choose to select.
The prince willing to make the best use
of the privilege, spoke to many of them in
in succession, inquiring why they were
condemned to the galleys Injustice, op-
preston, false accusations, were assigned by
one after the another as the causes of their
being there. In fact they were all injured
and ill-treated persons.
At last he came to one, when, asked the
same question: answered TO this effect
Your highest, have no reason to COM
plain, have been very wicked desperate
wretch. have deserved to be broken
alive on the wheel. account it a great
mercy that l am here" The prince fixed
his eyes upon him and said, You wicked
wretch 1t is a pity you should be placed
among so many honest men by your own
confession you are bad enough to corrupt
them all but you shall not stay with them
another day." Then turning to the officer,
he said, "This is the man whom l wish to
be released
Was not this wise decisionP Must not
all who hear the story allow that the man
who was sensible of his guilt, and so
submissive to his punishment, was, in all
probability, the most worthy of pardon,
and the most likely not to abuse itP
Sense of sin is the first step towards for
giveness. There is hope of man who
confesses his guilt, and feels that punish
ment is his desert. And the deeper the
conviction of sin, the more hopeful often is
the condition.

s uNDAy READING.
The Art of Not Hearing.

Read what an intelligent observer says
on this subject:-" The art of not hearing
is as fully important to domestic happiness
as a cultivated ear, for which so much time
and money is expended. There are SO
many things which are SO painful to hear,
many of which, if heard, will disturb the
temper and detract from contentment and
happiness, that every one should be edu-
Gated to take in or shut out sounds at will.
If man falls into n violent passion, and
calls me all manner of names, the first
words shut my ears and hear no more.
If in my quiet voyage of life am caught
in one of these domestic whirlwinds of
scolding, l shut my ears, as sailor would
furl his sail, and making all tight, scud
before the gale. If hot and restless man
begins to enflame my feelings, consider
what mischief these sparks might do in the
magazine below where my temper is kept,
and instantly close the door. Does a
gadding, misunderstanding fellow begin to
inform me what people are saying about
me, down drops the portcullis of my ear,
and he cant get in any further Some
people feel SO very anxious to hear every
thing that will vex and annoy them, they
set about searching and find it out. If all
the petty things said of one by the needless
or ill-natured idlers were to be brought
home to him; he would become mere
walking pin-cushion, stuck full of sharp
remarks. l should as soon thank man
for emptying on my head bushel of
nettles, or setting loose swarm of musqui-
toes in my chamber, or raising pungent in
my house generally, as to bring upon me all
the tattle of spiteful people. If you would
be happy, when among good men open
your ears; when among bad, shut them
1t is not worth while to hear what your
servants say when they have slammed the
door; what begger says whose petition
you have rejected; what your neighbors
say about your children what your rivals
say about your business or dress. I have
noticed that well-bred person never hears
an impertinent remark. A kind of discreet
deafness saves one from not little appa-
rent connivance in dishonerable CONVEX
sation."

Unlucky J0hn.

On the 28th of November, 1870, Jason
McCord, wealthy gentleman of Chicago
departed this life. Before his death he
made no will, and, it was left for the courts
to say who should inherit his riches An
appraisal of his real and personal property
showed that he had died worth upwards Of
100000 Costly buildings in the southern
and western parts Of the city; blocks of
city land and acres of country farms; rail-
way, insurance and bank shares; live stock
and steamboats, were scheduled to vast
amount, while those who made out the pa
pers wished they were his next kin. ,
Outside of Chicago, some eighteen m lies
or more, there has lived for many years a
poor hard-working farmer named John
McCord. Despite his toiling and his con-
slant tilling of the soil, " Unlucky John, :"
as his neighbors called him, grew poorer
and poorer as he grew old in years. The
only thing in which he prospered was in
raising of large family. Horses and cat
tie and hogs sickened and died, but children
to the number of ten lusty boys and girls
were born beneath their fathers lucky star.
When the boys were big enough they too
worked on the farm-only it was hard to
raise enough for 80 many.
A few weeks since, the court decided that
John McCord, brother Of the deceased, and
his only living relative, was heir to all his
possessions. And the farmer, who is no
longer I" Unlucky John" but ''Luchy Mis-
ter McCord," 4" is often seen dressed in fine
suit of clothes, in the County Clerks Office,
waiting until the last entry Is made in the
title books, TO take full possession.

A Little Boys Prayer.

More than thirty years ago a goodly
minister, illustrating the efficacy of prayer,
related the case of little boy with sore
hand, which had become SO bad that the
physician decided that IT must be ampu-
tated to save the boys life. The day was
fixed for the operation.
On hearing this, the little boy went to a
retired spot in the garden, fell on his knees,
and begged God for Jesus sake to save his
little hand.
The next day the physician came and ex-
amined the hand, when to the astonishment
of all it was found to be so much better
that amputation was unnecessary.
The hand got quite well again, and the
little boy grew up to be man, "and,
continued the minister, holding up his
hand: "this unworthy hand can now be
shown to you as . monument of prayer
answered through divine grace.

The New York boardOf police have granted the
Orangemen permission to commemorate the bat
tie OF the Boyne by the usual procession through
he public streets on the 18th OF July; and not
only that, but have promised them an escort.
1t remains to be seen whether their protection
will be sufficient, il it will be requisite to call
the military to the aid OF the police, as was the
case last year. An effort Is being made to settle
the difficulties between the Orangemen and
Roman Catholics. Several prominent leaders
Of the orange and the green held An informal
conference the other evening, and both sides
were fsvorably impressed with q project for a
union Of the two parties in the coming process
