THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

Ehe Hillsdale Dem ocrat, speaking
o4Athe probable action of the Demo
cratic National Convent ton, In refer
ence to the adoption of the Cincin-
natl ticket, says: "Should that Con-
vention decide that Democrats must
select between Grant and Greeley
both Republicans aud protecfsonists
lit will not be difficult to say that
between Grant, the violater of the
Constitution, the hard drinker, the
sporting man, the receiver of pres
ents. the feeder of relations at the
public crib, the protector of the
Leets, Murphys, Longstreets, and
Caseys, the candidate of Morton,
Chandler, Harlan, Conkling, aud
carpet-baggers; and Greeley, the
honest man, the believer in the Pres
idents leading a respectable life, the
refuser of presents while in Office,
the bestower of Office upon the peo-
pie and not upon relations, the foe
to corruption and carpet-baggers, q
believer in the reserved rights of the
States, the friend of amnesty, the
candidate of Trumbull, Palmer,
Schurz, Fenton and Tipton--the
Democrats will support Greeley. If
the Democrats will make no Eomina-
ton, and the choice is between Gree
ley and Grant, the majority Of the
Democrats will support Greeley"

THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY

What Missourian said of his del
egation at Cincinnati, says the
Washington Patriot, may be said of
the Southern Democracy: "You
may trade them off, but you cannot
deliver them" General Imboden
has been promising them TO Greeley.
Colonel Mosby has been bargaining
for them with Grant, and there seems
to be general impression, in certain
quarters, that these people, because
their necessities are great and their
suff. n3s have been long, can be
driven like turkeys and led like
sheep. Those who hold this notion
are counting without their host
The Southern Democracy are not TO
be hoodwinked. They are not to be
frightened by handful of beans in
dried bladder. They aie not to be
split asunder by any wedge, howso-
ever well CREASED and howsoever
deftly inserted it may be. When
the hour for action arrives, the De-
mocracy of the South will be unit,
aud unit guided and controlled by
the decision the National Convention
may come to. There will be great
deal of outcry from the Southern
country, in all probability, during
the next few weeks. and good many
self-elected and psuedo "leaders of
the people" may raise their voices
to the pitch of familiar tunes. But
it will be just as well for those who
are chiefly interested to observe that
the real leaders of the South have
not spoken yet; nor will the real
leaders of the South speak authori-
lively aud finally until the action of
the National Convention is consum-
mated, and they have license to speak
to the point. What the Southern
Democracy is doing is to look about
with care and judgement, to call
over the roll of its best, noblest,
most capable, and most conservative
citizens, in order to make choice from
them of fitting delegates to send to
Baltimore. Its whole hearteis beat
ing in quick sympathy with the Ma
tional Democracy, confident that the
wisdom, patriotism, and nnselfsh-
ness of those who are soon to meet
at Baltimore will most surely provide
The way-if any way can be provided
by which they may escape from
their present Environments. .-Sono-
ma (Cal. Democrat.

A party of men animatedly en-
gagged in discussing politics before q
country store, attracted the attention
of an aged agriculturist. There's
sumthin' the matter here" he OBJ
served to his wife; and, drawing in
his team, he lightly shouted to. a
consumptive individual on the out
skirts, What's afoot?'' "Twelve
inches" was the sardon;c reply.
The aged agricnltnrist' swore some
and drove on.

A GOOD ONE Os BUTLER.

A rather amusing story is in circu-
lation at the expense of the eminent
gentleman from Massachusetts COM
monty called "Old Strabismus." At
the Presidents levee the other night.
which was denseIy crowded, an old
lady from the interior, somewhere,
in q fainting condition, requested
her husband to get n,ice.
Cant be did" )" responded "hub, /"
in some irritation; There amt no
freshments here"
Don't believe it. Didn't we get
lots at Be1knap's the other nigbt?"
the good woman said aDgrily. "Now
go and get me an ice and some lem
onade."
II tell you don't be a fool; there
amt no freshments, and everybody
says 30, !" grunted the lord and mas
ter.
"You are quite mistaken, SIR"
said the Hon. S. S. Cox, who hap
pened to be near, and who never
loses an opportunity to put in joke.
1.-The President always provides sub
stantially. There is his butler whose
business it is to show the ladies to
the supper room" and the Hon. jest
er pointed TO Butler. you'll find
him little stuck up, and cross, but
you must not mind that. Tell h1m
yoD want terrapins."
This was said 50 gravely that the
two struggled through the crowd to
where the general stood talking to
some young ladies.
81 say, mister, are you butler"
said the man.
I'm General Butler" replied old
Strabismus, pleasantly, thinking the
two country people were filed with
admiration of his greatness.
81 don't care whether you are a
general or not, but my wife wants
some of your terrapins and iced lem
onade."
"Sir 2" snorted old B. in amaze
ment.
"Oh, don't take on airs, old cock.
Come, now, hurry up with them ter
rapins.
"You must be drunk, sir you
must be drunk
"No he amt" screamed the wife;
"be's Knight Templar; he amt
drunk, but I guess you are"
Roars of laughter greeted this,
and in which Mr.. Cox was forced to
join. Gen. Butler redeemed in the
face, and began putting his cheek out
In a most violent manner.
81 don't understand this most yio-
lent conduct. What do you want,
sir-what do you want?"
"Terrapins, I tell you."
"What do you take me for, you
d-n fool?" roared Ben.
"You call me a d-n fool and I'll
hit you On the snout," screamed the
old man.
At this juncture an officer of the
police seized the belligerent husband
and led him away mid much laugh
ter. Butler. turning suddenly, saw
the mischief-maker.
"Cox, did you do that?"
We'll, yes, I'm afraid I did"
"Well, 1 owe you the terrapins,
and I'll pay you, mind that-I'll pay
you."
And the two walked lovingly away
together.

A SPECIMEN.

On Monday morning. the dry of
election, Ben. Holladay published
the following in his personal organ
in this city;
"Govenor Grover on Saturday
pardoned out thirteen eonvicts from
the State Penitentiary. Among the
number are Matt. Bledsoe, sentenced
for life by Judge Shattuck, of this
city, for murder; Charley Starr, who
four years ago committed q murder
GUS assault in this city, and subse-
quently killed man named Seeley
in Douglas county; Jack Hughes,
who killed a man in Union county;
Mcintyre. who killed Marshall Keeler
at the Dalles; and Hackeney and
Cassidy, sent for robbery from this
county two years ago. The names
of the others our informant does not
know. These convicts are TO rote for.
the Grorer Legislative ticket as a con-.
dition of their pardon. This is no
"electioneering lie.'' It is the truth,
and we challenge denial of it. The
Herald knew ii yesterday, but did
not publish the fact. Why? Did
it fear that when the people knew of
it the Dolly Warden ticket would suf-
fer?'
Now what estimate Wilt the public
form of the character of this man
when we tell them that not man
has been pardoned out of the Peni-
tentiary since the 14th of March last?
We have the official information,
from the executive Office, that mo
body has been pardoned out of
the Penitentiary since the 18th of
March, 1872
The falsehood above noted, which
is put forth as "the truth" with the
assurance that it is no "electioneering
lie,n was published in y hand-bill
and sent up to the Dalles. where it
was posted on Monday. The man
who could thus deliberately practice
such wanton deception on the pub
lie, and thus fabricate what purports
to be an official act of the Governor
of the State, has the hardihood to
talk about morality, decency and
TRUTH If justice were done him he
would be sent to occupy cell in the
penitentiary himself. He is guilty
Of moral, if not legal, forgery.-Her-
aid.
Woolen gatherings light between. j

FROM FATHER TO sos.

One day a young man entered q
merchants Office IN Boston, and
with pale and careworn face, said,
.eSir I am in need of help. Ihave
been unable to meet certain pay
ments, because certain parties have
not done as they agreed by me, and
