THE GREAT QUESTION OF THE CANVASS.
, vi. y IFrom theN.Y. Hera'd-l
The personal accounts Of Mr.. Sumner, schurx
and others against Grant will go for nothing in
upon which it will be determined is this; Will
the general interests OF the country be safer un-
der the administration of General Grant for the
next four years than in the hands Of new par
", OF Of the old democratic party on new de-
parture?
This is the real issue before the country, and
il cannot bedeniedit that General Grant came out
Of the crucible Of the late session OF Congress
a. before his trial by.these investigating commit
tees. Nothing has been disclosed by them and
nothing has been done by Congress to weaken
him. ia E8ass
MAINTAINING THE RESULTS OF THE WAR
From the n. Y. Times.l
The American people do not want any pacih-
cation Of the South, gained by ignoring the past
on one side, and by merely nominal acceptance
Of the present on the other. They know that such
a reconciliation would be illusory, and would be
more dangerous than the confessed existence Of
il-feeling, What is wanted is perfect estab-
lishment of the principles the war was waged
for. This can only Re secured by the Repubh-
can party The party originated those princi-
| Piles. 1t sustained them during all the trials OF
the war. 1t has never compromised betrayed,
| or threatened them. On the other hand. it has
promptly and cordially acknowledged whatever
| the South haze done indicating real acceptance
| Of them.
THE AMERICAN woRKMES AND STRIKES.
From the N. Y Tines.l
According to our observation, the thorough
/ bred American artisan is not prone TO strike. He
looks sharply enough after his own interests, and
likes to get the full price of his labor, Just a.
after he is paid he likes to get the full worth OF
his dollar. But generally he is not inclined 70
attain his object by striking. He seeks his ends
by other means, appealing to the reason. the
/ sense OF justice. aud even the interests OF hi;
employer. He knows that he may generally re
| ly upon these to secure for him fair remuner
alton for his labor and he is intelligent enough
and generally well informed enough to apprsci
ate rightly his employers position as well as hi
| own.

aRKKLKYs DOMINATION GIVES DELLA
WARE TO GRANT AND WILSON "A FAV-
ORABLR YKAR FOR REPUBLICAN, CANDI-

DATES. shA
The Democratic organization is going down
the throat Of the Cincinnati movement, like an
unfortunate rat caught in the fangs of boa
constructor, and as its tail disappears, we hear
but single feeble sqneAk, uttered by little Del
aware. 1t is evident that Greeley will be nom
mated or at least endorsed at Baltimore, and
though such result is enough to startle the
solar system from its propriety, it's of no use to
feel establishments At any conduct on the part OF
q crowd Of Thoroughbred politicians What
they can't do in the way Of ground and lofty
tambling, the Japanese troupe Of jugglers need
not attempt. u5..
1t therefore behooyes the Republicans Of Del
aware to simply accept the prospect Of the flu
ture and lay hold Of the chances which Balti
more offers. Greeleys nomination as the DEM
ocratic candidate gives this State to Grant, pro
vided the Republican machine 10 managed with
the most moderate shAra OF prudence, fairness,
and common-ssnse The fact lie admitted by
dozens of Democrats, throughout the State, and
their party, already demorahzed, can be run
clear out of the field, next November, If the con-
ductors Of the Republican campaign are wise
enough to eschew all mere cliqueism, such as
disguised and Angered one-hAlf the New Castle
County delegates at the Dover Republican Con-
vention. That sort of thing will throw away all
the chances, and President Grants cause de-
serves better treatment
This glorious show for the Republicans will
rouse Thorn from their slumberi like an army
summoned to the field by the certain assurance
of success. We ought to have plenty OF candi-
dates for Congress. Our nominee two years
ago, Mr.. Head, had no chance at all, but if
Greeley completes his swallowing OF the Democ-
rAcy, the show this time will be first-rAte, and
Mr.. II. could give Major Bggs a splendid race
from the Brandywine blue rocks down to the
shadowy lAgoons Of the Cypress swamps. We
do not insist on this or that candidate but we
simply suggest that there's a very good shoN
for some Of our ambitious and fit friends, and il
they don't 60 in with their little sickles, wher
the crop is ripe it will be their own fault, Ant
not ours. It is the business of a newspaper t.
tell the truth and keep the public posted; il
the public doesn't put its information to good
use, it is not the newspapers fault.
Besides Mr.. Head, there is also Mr.. Bird, Of
this city, who has made several thousands NOR
out Of his Office as Register Of the bankrupt PEG
pie, than he would at Washington, the latte
city being a far more extravagant place t
live in than our own good honest industrou
city. Then there is Major Lohand, Of Ke1
county, whose nomination will suit his friend

I'VE known some very mean men in my
Il time. There was Deacon Overreach,
now he was so mean that he always carried
a hen in his gig-box when he travelled, to
pick up the oats his horse wasted in the
manger, and lay an egg for his breakfast in
the morning. And then there was Hugo
Himmelman, who made his wife dig pota-
toes to pay for the marriage license. ]
must tell you that story of Hugo, for it's
not a bad one; and good stories, like good
potatoes, amt as plenty as they used to be
when was a boy. Hugo is a neighbor of
mine, though considerable older than be,
and a mean neighbor he is, too. Well,
when he was going to get married to Gretch-
EN- Kolp, he goes down to Parson Rogers, at
Digby, to get license.
"Parson," said he, whats the price of
a license 90
"Six dollars, said he.
"Six dollars" said Hugo, that's
dreadful sight of money. Couldn't you
take no less P''
me to the Secretary's Office at Halifax"
"Well, how much do you AK for publish
ing in church, then?''
"Nothing," says the parson.
"Well," says Hugo, "that's so cheap
can't expect you to give no change back.
think I'll be published d.--How long does
it take?"
"Two Sundays"
"Two Sundays" !" said Hugo, "wel
that's a long time, too. But two Sundays
only make fortnight after all; two for the
covers, and one for the inside like; and six
dollars is great sum of money for a poor
man to throw away. must wait
So off he went, jogging towards home
feeling as mean as new sheared sheep,
when all at once bright thought came in
to his head, and back he went as fast as
his horse could carry him.
"Parson," says he, "I've changed my
mind. Here's the six dollars; I'll tie the
knot tonight with my tongue, that can't
unite with my teeth"
"Why, what in 'natur' is the meanin'
of all this ?" says the parson.
"Why," says Hugo, "Ive been cipherin''
it out in my head, and it's cheaper than
publishin' bans after all. You see, sir, it's
potatoe diggin' time; if wait to be called
in church her father will have her work FOR
nothing; and as hands are scarce and wages
big, if marry her tonight, she can begin
to dig our own tomorrow, and that will
pay for the license, and just seven shillings
over; for there amt man in Clements
that can dig and carry as many bushels in a
day as Gretchen can.-And, besides, fresh
wives, like fresh servants, work like smoke
at first, but they get sarcy and lazy arter a
while,

Days thatare no More.

When many years have rolled away
When we no more are young;
When many voices may repeat
The songs that we have sung;
When all thy youthful beauty pales.
Which time will not restore,
Some tender thoughts may come again
OF days that are no more.
The soul but slumbers to awake
Alike to JOY and pain;
And every holy thought and dream
Are sure to come again;
The youthful heart, unmarried by care,
But dreams of days before;
The old heart lives on memories
OF days that are no more. .aEt
There is phantom world to come,
Whose gateway is the tomb,
Where voices will be heard again
Beyond the hidden gloom.
Where shapes and shadows of the past
Within the soul will stay
When human hearts and human plans
Have crumbled to decay.
And then when years haye rolled away,
And we no more are young;
When other voices may repeat
The songs that we have sung;
When heavenly sunshine on the soul
The beauty may restore,
some tender thoughts, perchance, will come
Of days that are no more.

young girl, my constant companion and

who seemed to have as much care of her
as myself, trying to make me call my pretty
playmate Mamma instead of "Rosie,"

OF my father nothing is clear.
Indeed, do not remember ever having

room one day, and lifted up to gaze on "my
father"
Very well, even now, long years as it has
been, can remember the feeling Of awe
and fright which possessed me when, as
they bade me, I pressed my lips ON that
pale, cold brow.

She was quiet and her voice was hushed.

entirely attributable TO the black garb.
But gradually the gloom wore away, and

and then only before the other boys OF

girl being my mother, could not under

My grandmother was with us. She was
the mother claimed. Iloyed her dearly
and was proud of her.
Her matronly beauty aud gentle dignity

her parents gave her TO my father who was
many, many years older than her.

pretty child, and SO they were well pleased
