EXIT BGSGHAM-Oue of the most notable
signs of the times is the Reputation Of Judge
Bingham by the Republican voters of the Six
teenth Ohio District He has represented that
district 10 Congress since 1854, and all through
the war, and ever since the war, has given vent
to extreme opinions and has advocated extreme
measures. 1t was he whom Butler charged
with the murder of Mrs Surratt. and the smell
Of her blood is on his garments to this day
That such man, after eighteen years of service
and with all the influence and patronage OF the
Administrator enlisted in his support, should
fail to receive denomination from his old party
associates, is a remarkable proof OF the change
that has manifested itself SO strongly OF late 10
the public MUD, and of the growing disgust for
pure and unauthorized Radicalism Judge
Bingham politically speaking, died hard. So
Intense was the struggle. and so even the chances
it was not until the seventh ballot that he was
rejected. Buhtmore Gu=ctte.

THE OLD TINES. There is a strange pain in
coming suddenly upon some relic Of Que S lost
youth-some lock of golden hair, cut when your
hair, gentle lady, was golden which is so white
now--some portrait painted when life was young.
when lips red charm and the pride of the brow
were in their prime, when the skin was satin
which now is parchment. You feel it, too,
strong man though you are, aud your lip curls
half sorrowfully, half scorntully, under your
grizzled mouStache as you look at the face of the
boyish bloom which wandering artist painted a
quarter of century ago. Was that you-that
Young face, with the frank, fearless eyes which
no care had made dim, the tell-tale color, the
eager mouth? What were the ambitions of that
old time? How different they were, those day
dreams, from the sober schemes ofto-day! How
you hoped-bow you trusted with what sub
lime faith you looked on into the future! Now
you are old and the world is cold, and the rose
color of youth has faded into the sober gray of
middle age. This is better thing, you try to
think-you are wiser, you are strouger-but
there is a little pain, nevertheless, sigh of
longing for the something sweet which
Followed you with flying feet
