NOTES.

er portion of the people Of this country,
then, we fail to see it. Never, in all our
history has ticket been presented to the
people that gave better promise of ulti-
mate good. We say ultimate good, but
are not like some unhappy people who
never see anything good except that
which emanates from their own brain.
The advantages gained by the election of
such o ticket as is found at the head Of
our columns, are already upon u.s. The
country is to-day in an unprecedented
prosperous condition, and, under an able
government, there are Infinite possibili
ties in store. Grant and Wilson are the
men to preside over such government
There are some minds that don't believe
this; nevertheless, ITS a 5dct
THE amount of abuse heaped upon Sen,
ator Wilson since his nomination for
Viee- President IS truly astonishing. Is
there anything at which we should won
der nowadays? Here is one of the best
and purest of men slandered and insalted
because he is the candidate of the Repub-
lican party for Vice President! It shou III
bring to the face Of every disconnected
republican, and conniVing democrat in
the country, blush of shame. But, how
can they blush? The heart has nothing
to do with their political actions, and so
refuses to inscribe the mark Of modesty
upon the indelicate cheek. The present
campaign will be notorious for exceeding
dishonesty, consummate distortion of
facts, and the use of unchaste means to
gain promotion.
DURING the proceedings Of Congress
one day last week, bill was passed for
the relief of a woman aged II years, Civ
ing her $4,000, the amount Of seven years
half pay due to her father, who served as
an officer under Paul Jones in the Bon
homme Richard. twenty-five years had
been spent by her in prosecuting the
claim! She was in the gallery when the
announcement of the passage of the bill
was made by the Speaker, and waved her
handkerchief with an air Of triumph.
This was followed by general clapping
of hands by members of the house. The
woman, overcome by her feelings, burst
into tears, and then fell upon her knees
in prayer. Many hearts were made glad
by her success.
AN important decision of the Supreme
Court was published last Saturday. It is
held that in respect to unoccupied or
wild land, sold and conveyed for the non
payment of taxes, the constructive pos
session thereof remains in the original |
deed takes actual possession thereof, or
pays taxes thereon for five years, and a
plaintiff claiming under tax deed, who
failed to bring his action within three
years after it was recorded, and who had
not been in possession for three years,
nor paid taxes for five years, was proper
ly non-suited az the statute of limitations
had expired.
THE people are sometimes found ahead
of recognized leaders. There is plat
form upon which the people stand, and
from it they see the prospect Of affairs
and make their conclusions and this too
while the Statesman is nervously investi-
eating and using unwarrantable means
to avert the calamity of being over.shad-
owed The leaders lag behind, but the
people march on. 1t il the people that
preserve the truth the statesman is often
given to personal aggrandizement al u
sac rifce Of all other interests.
| THE ocean steamers leaving New York
for Europe are, almost without an excep-
ton, crowded with passengers. Some of
the travellers are business people, but a
greater proportion are pleasure seekers
and persons who go abroad as matter of
economy. Il is now generally conceded
that comfortable living is more cheaply
purchased abroad than in the same social
sphere at home. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars will, during the season, be
spent on the continent, which amount has
heretofore been taken to our own sum
