THE

Notwithstanding the determined stand
which many leading Republicans have ia
ken in opposition to General Grant as the
Candidate Of the Republican party for the
next Presidency, his prospects for renomi
nation by the Philadelphia Convention
are, daily Frightening.
The ordinary small talk of opposition
newspapers has exhausted itself in repeat
ing for the thousanth time the many foolish
: stories set on foot by the Democracy about
his love for horses. his fondness for cigars,
and his affection for his wifes relatives &c.
for viii oh the great mass of the American
people care not Que straw. The Democracy
having despaired of electing one of their
ownparty now seek to defeat Co. Grant
by splitting the Republican party and
~ADminating what they call a liberal Re-
publican who is to receive the support OF
the Democratic party. In our opinion
they have a deeper design in dividing the
Republicaa party than that of e%lecting an
anti Grant Republican. 4 large majority
of the Southern wing of the Democratic
party would sooner support a Camanchee
Indian than q Republican of any sort.
Their design is when the disruption in
the Republican party has reached its eli
max to bring out a third man who will be
q simon pure Democrat and proper repre-
sentative of the lost cause and who will be
the real candidate Of the Democratic par
ty. This passive policy is the most traAs-
parent piece of deception that was ever |
attempted by any party. 1t is a scheme
to defeat the party that put down the Re-
bellion and again sieze the reins of Gov
eminent.
But it will not succeed. They cannot
drive the great mass of intelligent, read
ing men which comprise the Republican
party away from the support of General
Grant by such foolish clap-trap as has
been going the rounds of the opposition
press. On the contrary they will look to
the general policy ofths administr,t: zion and
sec whether or not it has been successful.
They will ask nave the laws of the land
been enforced? Have people of all class |
es regardless Of race color or previous con-
dition been protect d in the exercise of
Of their rights as American citizens? Are
taxes being reduced? Is the National
debt being paid? These are the questions
that will agItate the minds of sensible
men when they come to look about for a
suitable candidate and upon an Affirmative
answer to these questions will hang Gen
eral Grants nomination. and reelection.
That the policy of the present admins
tration will stand the test of the most rigid
scrutiny so far az these great questions
sre concerned there can be no room for

Sentence Of General stokes.

We take the following in reference to
the sentence of General w. B. Stokes,
from the Associate Press dispatches, as we
find them in the Philadelphia Press of
Saturday:
In the Criminal Court, Judge Carter,
this morning. MI. William B. Stokes, con-
victed of having received moneys for pros
ecuting claims against the Government
while he was a Representative in Congress,
appeared on the opening of the Court with
his counsel, who stated that General
Stokes had come into Court to subject
himself to such penalty as the Court saw
tit to impose. Judge Carter said !; Cen
eral Stokes the Court has come to the
conclusion to impose on you a penalty of
$1,000 and costs of the prosecution. L
have been governed in my action by sew
eral considerations, among them your uni
form good character, your advanced age,
and the request of men of all parties in
your State that your punishment should
be light. 1t is unnecessary to a person
of your intelligence to say more. Mr..
Stokes thereupon paid the mount and de-
parted. A wrong impression seems to
nave gone forth that the recent conviction
in the Criminal Court was under the in
dictment charging conspiracy to defrand
the Government Mr.. Stokes was tried
under the act of 1855. charging him with
having received money, while a Repre-
sentative in Congress for prosecuting a
against the Government, and the
jury failed to agree. The second trial
was under the same Indictment, and he.
been convicted and paid the pen
atty, this series of cases are ended. the

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans of Tennessee are in
a minority, but that minority should not
be considered so hopeless as to forestall a
movement having in view the organization
of the party. Let us muster our forces
and keep the flag in the forefront, though
under the necessity of acknowledging our
numerical weakness. Times are changing
and the masses are changing with them.
The people are beginning to understand
the animus of the last Legislature and its
subsequent body. They. long ago, have
seen the glimmerings of light. the action
of those two bodies have thrown upon the
politics of the State. The intelligent
men:ofthe State. at least have not been de-
ceived by a publication in a Nashville'paper
in a regard to the rebel organism of the
Legislature, put forth to deceive and parry
the blows made by a pure and incorrupti-
BILE man, whose manifesto cannot be an
swered or gainsaid, although the whole
rebel press of the State essayed the i'll
considered venture.
Let Republicans come into the impend-
ing contest without fear. The enemy is

The "Fat Contributor id writing
to the Cincinnati Times, tells the fol-
lowing:
At the time when / was in Colum-
bus, Pennsylvania, the community
was being startled or amused, accord
ding to the mental makeup of COM
munities' constituent parts, bv the
story of a haunted locomotive. An
engineer and fireman on the middle
division assert that while running
a night express one night last week,
the devil stepped on board the loco
motive and proceeded to run it with
out the aid of fireman or engineer,
those worthless falling back in not
very good order on the tender, where
they sat trembling observing the op-
erations of his Satanic majesty.
They aver that he not only opened
the furnace door and put his head in
to see how the fire was burning, out
that he actually. crawled in, and thew
could distinctly see him in the glar-
ing light industriously stirring up
the fire with his tail! This seems
Incredible, l admit, but both enei.
neer and fireman say they will swear
to it. Then emerging from the fur.
mace without hair being scorchaS
he proceeded to handle the levers as
though he had run a locomotive ali
his life, humming some diabolical
tune meanWbiila. He did mot crowd
on all she steam, as they expected he
would do, and run the train with. its
passengers to destruction at g devel
Of rate; but, on the other hand, he
used the accustomed caution, slack
ing up around the curves, and be-
having altogether like a careful, tenn
perate engineer, who recognized his
responsibilities. Once only did he
notice the two terror-stricken men
on the tender, and then he made an
imperious motion to the fireman to
fire up, and when he hesitated the
devil fired up himself so Internally
the fireman made haste to comply
with the command. It seems
strange that he didn't take advan-
tage Of his opportunity 70 run the
train to destruction, but he was
probably satisfied with the pace at
which the passengers were going to
the devil, anyhow, and accordingly
held his hand. Arriving at bridge
crossing a deep stream, he suddenly
waved them an adieu, and leaped of
the engine over the bridge and dis
appeared. The men say a blue fame
followed him, and they could hear q
great sputtering of the Sater when
he struck.
It's declared in Columbia to be q
fact, that when the train reached
the next station these men told the
above story, and actually refused to
run any further on chat engine, so
that it became necessary to substi-
tute other men for them in order for
the train to proceed. 1 give you the
story as it is current in Columbia.
It is q strange enough story at the
first blush, but Judging from the di-
abolical accidents that frequently oc-
cur on our roads, one might think it
was not so very rare a thing, after all,
for the devil to run trains.

that" said Mr.. Young. "That is
some of SamuePs business"
"Eh? What some Of Sam"
The old man stopped short and
gazed at his son. He was beWilder-
ed. 1t could not be that his son
his idle sOn-was the inventor fthe
great power loom that had taken all
the manufacturers by surprise.
"What do you mean2" he at
length inquired.
"It is simply this, father, that the
loom is mine," returned Samuel,
with conscious pride. "I have in
vented it and taken a patent right,
and have already been offered ten
thousand dollars for the patent right
in two adjoining States. Don't you
remember that clap-trap you crushed
with your foot six years ago?'
"Yes,'' replied the old man, whose
eyes were bent on the floor, ond over
whose mind a new light seemed
beaming.
"Well," continued Samuel, "that
was almost a pattern, though Of
course l have made alterations and
Improvements, and there is room for
more"
"And that was what you were
studying when you used to stand
and see me weave, and then tumble
about my loom so much" said Mrs.
Winthrop.
"You are right, mother. Even
then I had conceived the idea which
l have since carried out"
-"And that is why you could not
understand my mathematical prob
lem," uttered Mr. Winthrop, as be
started from his chair and took the
youth by the hand. samuel, my
son, forgive me for the harshness 1
have used towards you. l have
been blinded, and now sec how
have misunderstood you. While
have thought you needless and care
less, you were solving a philosoph-
1cal problem 1 could never have com
pretended. Forgive me, Samuel
meant well enough, but lacked judg-
iment and discrimination"
! Of course the old man had long
before been forgiven for his harsh
ness, and his mind was opened to a
new lesson in human nature. 1t was
simply this; Different minds have
different capacities, and no mind can
be driven to love that for which he
has no taste. First seek to under
stand the natural abilities and dis
position of children, and then in
your management of their education
for after life, govern yourself accord
, ingly. Geo. Combe, the greatest
/, moral philosopher of his day, could
hardly reckon in simple addition,
and Colburn, the mathematician,
could not write out a common place
address.

THE SUM OF HUMAN LIFE.


The things that have been and shall be no
more,
The things that are and that hereafter shall be,
The things that might have been, and yet were
not,
The fading twilight of great joys departed,
The day-break of great truths as yet unrisen,
The intuition aud the expectation
OF something which, when come, is not the
sama,
But only like its forecast in mems dreams,
The longing, the delay, and the delight,
Sweeter for the delay; youth, hope, love, death,
And disappointment, which is also death,
All these make up the sum of human life;
A dream within dream, wind at night
Howling across the desert in despair,
Seeking for something lost it cannot find,
Fate or foreseeing, or whatever name
Men call it, matters not: what is to be
Hath been fore-written in the thoughts DiYine
From the beginning, none can hide from it
But it will find him out; nor run from it
But it will overtake him! The Lord hath
said .-LoHgfeIlo,0'S Divi,se Tragedy.
