Senator SchurZ and His Friends.

Democratic journals applaud Trum-
bull and Schurz, and other renegades
from Republicanism. From this the
people can see what it is those rene.
gades are about, and what they are
after. They are laboring to divide the
Republican party, and in that way to
restore the Democracy to power. The
Democracy were hopelessly beaten in
this years elections, and can make no
fight for themselves, by themselves,
next year; butt is possible for them to
regain all they recklessly threw away in
1860, if the Republicans should be so
enormously foolish as to quarrel, and go
subtract some thousands of votes in
few States, from the force of that party
which saved the Union and destroyed
slavery. Our national mode of election
is such that the withdrawal of no very
large number of voters from the right
side might give victory to the wrong
side, at the next Presidential contest |;
to the Democracy, to the men who de
liberately did the dirty work of the
shareholders, to the friends and patrons

Queer Suit Between Two Ancients.
From the Quincy (ll) Herald. Jan. 81.

From the Quincy (lll.) Herald Jan. Il.
A lively girl from the north part Of
the county, about seventy-one years of
age, accompanied by q man lately mar
ried. who has seen eighty birthdays
come and go, called on Major Holton
yesterday on business matters. The
Major was given to understand that
there was some disagreement between
the pair which they couldn't settle sat-
isfactorily and had agreed to refer to
him. The lady opened the case by in
forming the arbitrator that in the first
place her companion some time since
promised to marry her, but that he
went back on his word and joined his
fortunes with Missouri maiden, for
which breach of faith he was liable to
lawsuit for trihing with her affections.
Her next point was that he, whom she
promised to wed, was indebted to her in
a large sum of money, for dinners cooked
and clothes washed, for eggs and chick
ems, gone to satisfy his epicurean appe-
tite. She further informed the Major,
that for some time she had been living
upon the property of her companion,
which she had leased, that he had sold
the same for the purpose of settling
down with his bride over in Missouri,
and wanted her to get out, notwith-
standing the license of her lease.
1t appeared when both sides were
heard that two or three years ago the
lady rented the old mans property, and
that he boarded with her, that he had
seven chickens at the time and she three,
that he eat first all the eggs and then
the chickens, that she cooked, washed,
and waited on him, and that on account
of the promise of marriage the accounts
had been allowed to mix themselves up
and get into confusion. After consider
able consultation the arbitrator figured
out an Indebtedness to the woman, out
side of the breach of promise and lease,
of about 800. At this point the couple
consulted, and after much figuring
compromise was effected. The lady
agreed to take $3.50, leave the property,
and give the old man a receipt in full.
He paid over 500 and gave his note for
the balance. The parties thanked Major
Holton for his good offices and went
away happy.

Criminal Trials.

The cost of criminal trials is becoming
matter of very serious moment, of
which fact the Wharton case is a recent
and striking illustration. Before Mrs.
Wharton was accused of the murder of
Ketchum, she was in the enjoyment of
a competency to-day she is penniless,
and must depend on her own exertions
Tor the support of herself and daughter,
every cent of her small fortune having
been absorbed by the expenses incident
to her defence. Certainly if she is
innocent of the crime charged against
her. as we are bound to suppose that she
is from the verdict of the jury, this is
very great hardship and injustice. On
the other hand the expense of the State
was very considerable. There were
slxty.six witnesses summoned and fifty
six examined, ard for this and other
accounts, the total cost of the prosecu-
ton was $4,000. Justice is really one
OF the dearest commodities in the
market.

and allies Of the rebels, to those Mexi.
canized fellows who calmly brought civil
war upon the land, TO whom we owe the
loss of half million of the flower OF our
population, the existence OF our enor-
nous debt, our great and growing pen
sion list, our terrible taxation, and our
high prices. The men who are thus
laboring TO bring about Democratic
restoration are animated only by hatred
for President Grant. They would re-
move from the Presidential chair the
man who took Fort Donelson, and
Vicksburg, and Petersburg, and Rich
mond-the man who defeated the rebels
at Chattanooga, and who conquered
them in Virginia, and to whom Lee
surrendered-in order to place therein
some sympathizer with the rebels and
approver of rebellion, and who would
use the great powers of his office to pro-
mote the interests of the disunionists, as
the last Democratic President used those
powers to forward the cause Of disunion.
The Joy with which the Democrats be-
hold the labors of Trumoull, Schurz X
Co., and the hope which has returned
to their lately responding minds be-
cause of those labors, show what the
traitors are striving to do, and they
should warn the people to be on their
guard against fraud and deception, and
stimulate them to crush the Judases,
fellows who are working for the enemy,
as Benedict Arnold worked for another
enemy of the country, and whose mo-
tives of action are not in the least higher
than those that led Arnold.to forfeit his
fame and to become infamous-selfish-
ness and desire for revenge.-Boston

The President and Civil Service Reform.
From the New York Times


We have frequently pointed out that
structing civil service reform, and that
the insinuation of insinoerity on his
part INDUCED in by his enemies, is as
shallow as it is unfair. The opposition
to the reform will spring from the poll
ticians in Congress and out Of it, who
look on patronage as the ends and
means of political life and who feel that
their occupation will be gone when the
officers of the civil service will be sc.
lected without their intervention. This
is strikingly sustained by the speech of
Mr.. Carpenter, Of Wisconsin, in the
United States Senate, lately, and
by remarks that have fallen from the
lips OF that veteran politician, Mr..
Benjamin F. Butler The latter gentle
man regards civil service reform as a
humbug, and the former not only finds
it unconstitutional, but declares it the
fruit OF a passing popular clamor, which,
if carried out, would introduce species
Of arlstocracy INTO our loved land, by
giving all the offices to rich mems sons
who can afford to go to school, and
denying them to the sons of poor men
who went to the war.
We assure these gentlemen they are
making a very serious mistake. The
Reform is not a humbug, but practical
system to which they may as we'll con
form their plans first as last, and instead
of being a weak concession by the
President to a fieeting popular demand,
it is only an instance of the Chief
Magistrates clear understanding of and
complete harmony with the peoples
genuine and settled wish.
