Senator Trumbull appeared as member
Of the delegation Of the First Congressional

Trumbull replied that he did not wish to

the comp lexion Of the Senate should be
thereby changed so that Senators could
speak and act with independently, and
thereby contribute to the advancement Of

bull's) action was to be dictated and con-
tyclled by carpct-baggers from Florida and
Texas, acting in secret caucns, he did not
wish to be returned TO the Senate He
would much prefer to return to private
life. As to the Governorship, he could
not 20 before the people, and ask their
votes for that Office, and then use it as a
stepping stone and a convenience to some
other office. If elected as Governor, he
should feel obliged to serve out the term
He could not 20 before the people on false
Ireten-es. For these reasons he begged
that his name might not be presented to

"ANYRoDY BUT GRANT. "

1t is possible that some of our
readers may suppose that the alb
horence we have expressed of Mr..
Grant is to some extent affected.
They are mistaken. We are quite
in earnest; and SO far from present
ing an over-colored picture, it does
comport with our self-respects to
color it enough. We know all about
Grant, and we repeat that he has not
one single element of gentleman,
statesman or soldier.
Well, the Liberal Republicans said
to us, if you believe this, you will
vote for even Horace Greeley to beat
Grant We said yes, and if you have
any more tests of our sincerity,
bring them on. SO they offered
Charles Sumner for Governor of
Massachusetts,. We don't live in
Massachusetts,, but if we did, we
would work for Charles Sumner with
all our might, and never ask for n
better reason than that he is opposed
to Grant. We say to our Liberal
friends, if you have got anybody
else in reserve, to be used as tests of
our sincerity, George Francis Train,
Mrs. Woodruff or even the ire
pressible niger, bring them out, and
We are for them if they are against
Grant. Grant is the smallest possible
man. Yet, his position and sur
rodndings make him the embodie-
nent of all the perils which threat
en- the Republic. With him will go
all the heresiesand crimes which have
made his administration SO infamous.
and there is no fear that either Gree
ley or Sumner will introduce any
thing worse.
We have accepted Mr. Greeley. in
good faith, and with the platform up-
on which he stands, we do not feel
that we have surrendered any thing
sill vital; nay. we hope that we shall

THE BEST LEGACY.
Dye fathers and mothers, who have
sons and daughters growing ND around

0 We fathers and mothers, who have
sons and daughters growing up around
you, do ye ever think of your respon-
sibiliiy in this regard-your response
bility for keeping alive the home SEN
tinaent in the hearts of your children
Within the limit of your means, re-
member that the obligation rests upon
you to make their home the pleasant
est place upon this rolling earth, to
make the word "home" I'd them the
synonym for "happiness." l would
not have you import the voices of the
outside world into your homes for
any purpose; but l would have you
60 to the utmost verge of what is
moral to provide at home those things
which entice young and growing per-
sons away from home. And let me
assure you, that you had better spend
your money in doing this, than in os-
tentation or luxury, and far, far better
tune for children to squander in the
future. And not only as regards
amusements but also comfort and re-
finement-for children have a keen
appreciation of these things-this is
much the best policy. Don't send
your boy to school in ill-ftting
clothes collars chatting his neck, but
tons missing, and shoes down at the
heel. Don't make a warehouse or
clothes press of his bed room. Don't
feed him on sour bread and tough
meat and burnt coffee. Don't let
noise and disscnsion and misruie spoil
the hours he spends at home. Don't
do any of these things Ii you can pos
sibly avoid it; especially don't do
them for the purpose of laying up
money for his future use. The rich
est legacy you can leave him, is life
long unextlnguishable and fragrant re-
collection of his home, when time and
death have ever dissolved the enchalit
ment. Give him that, and he will, in
the strength of it, make his own way
in the world; but let the recollections
of home be repulsive, and the fortune

sation for the loss of that tenderness
of heart and purity of life, which not
only pleasant home, but the very
aaemo,y of one, would have secured.
Remember this, too, that while he
will never feel grateful for your
money when once you are under
ground, he will go to your green
grave and bless your very ashes, for
that sanctuary of quiet, comfort and
refinement, into which yon may, if
you possess the means, transform your
homes.

PROFESSION AND PRACTICE.

The Radical party can beat the
world in making professions. It
processes in its platforms to believe
that the civil power ought to be above
the military power. If the civil pow
er Is above the military power, what
do these professions amount to, and
what are they made for? If the civil
power is subordinate to tae military
power. why does not that party, and
why has it not righted the wrong?
Why is it always harping about cer-
tain evils, and. having the power.
refuse to apply the remedy? The
truth is, the military was never above
the civil power until radicalism placed
it there, first by usirpation, and,
second by an acs of Congress in
March, 1868. The act removes from
the civil courts in all the states the
power to try any person in the mill
tary service of the United States, in
any capacity whatever, not excepting
murder. This Is the laW of the land
today. No law can be framed which
will make the military more supreme
over the civil power than the Act Of
March, 1868. Gen. Grant has said
as muck by his acts rs to say, "I
want to be reelected. If you will
elect me peaceably, all right, If net
Congress has given me the power to
elect myself, and I will do t. T Iwill
COME another Louis Napolead coup'
de eat" And he can do it under
this very act of congress. The Law
was undoubtedly enacted for the
express purpose of perpetuating the
radicals in power, and will be taken
advantage of before they will relin-
quish hold on the government. They
have expressed themselves to this
effect. Wendell Philips says, "Arm. :,

save much that is valuable, which
Grant will certainly destroy. We
could not support Mr.. Sumner with
the same cordiality, for the same
position; but as link in the chain
of means which are to defeat Mr..
Grant, the action OF the Massachus-
etts Conventions was probably wise
and sagacious. Liberal Republicans
certainly can no longer be asked to
distrust the sincerity of their allies
in the great work ia which they are
engaged. This nomination will
strengthen them everywhere, and it
is out firm belief that they have only
to go to work with something Of the
eclat the cause should inspire, to
make such inroads in the Grant party
as none Of them have yet dared
hope for. :. ANYBODY BUT
