SPEAKING of a distinguished Confede-
rate officer lately deceased, the Chicago
News says: eve would willingly draw
the vail over his unpatriotic and trea-
sonable conduct, but cannot do so il
others proudly faunt it in the eyes of the
whole world" To this the Courier-Jour-
nal replies: "such vail would hardly
cost more than seventy-6ve cents, but
we must nevertheless accept the excuse
of the News, as it doesn't look like
newspaper whose income would justify
the expense"

THERE IS HOPE YET.

Political affairs just now present quite
different aspects, and describe two ex-
tremes. Was there ever before in our
political history time when parties had
gone so far apart that it become neces-
sary, TO preserve the fundamental prin'
ciples of liberty, that one should lay
down its arms and trust to a possible
division of its adyersaries to bring about
the relief requiredP And herein is our
hone. When the Democratic party shows
TO the world that it is willing to abandon
the field as a party and unite with a
mere fraction of its antagonist to &C
complish a great end, it rises to sub
timber hight than any it has hitherto
achieved. The simple fact is an answer
to. aud refutation Of, every dis
creditable charge that can be brought
against it by its enemies. And when the
best men in the Radical party become
so disguised with it, that they slough of
and begin upon it 6ercer war than the
Democracy ever waged, it must be ad-
mitted that all hope Of restoring the true
principles of the Government is not yet
extinct. By policy of non-action IN
the preliminary stages of the canvass,
the Democracy announce that they do
not exnect TO control the Government
during the next four years, or hold an
Office, or pluck dime from the treasury
of the nation. Under this state Of facts,
with what face or grace can the Radi-
Gals question their motives or as
sail their patriotism2 The party
will stand before the country
as few other parties ever stood-its hands
all clean, its conscience all pure, and its
escutcheon without a stain. The Lab
eral Republicans, whether they avow 1t
or not, look to the Democracy to go with
them in a body. They presume upon
this, and the presumption carries with 1t
the highest compliment it is possible to
bestow. Why may not the Liberal Re
publicans suppose that the Democ-
racy will be as apt to go with
Grant as with themselves And
right here comes in the compile
ment They know the doctrines Of
the Democracy-that they never yet
pandered to tyrant, nor violated a
principle of private or public right, nor,
while depressing the people at home,
ever brought the Government into con-
tempt abroad. They know that it is i'm
possible for Democrats to support Grant
or approve his administration. They
have cut loose from the Radical party
when they might have remained, shared
the honors of office and grown rich
from thousand springs of patron
age. Such a fact is irrefutable
proof that they are patriotic. They
leave their party, it is true, with many
regrets, but they could remain no longer
They we're stunk out of it; and thus we
see two elements heretofore antagonistic
assimilating and forming combination
to defeat an element that is offensive to
both. There is hope yet; there is al
ways hope when men rise above party
and proclaim for the country. The LIB
erals have burned their bridges behind
them and can never again act with
the Radicals. That is noble. The Dem
ocracy stand ready to flock to their sup
port That is nobler

DURING a recent litigation at San

was any one present who could show how
cold deck was "rung in" in game
of poker. Two-thirds of the audience
rushed for the witness stand, including
an officer of the court, who had cold

formation appeared to be SO widely dis
seminated in that locality that any testl'
mony was considered needless, and not

growing strength Of the liberal move
ment, are changing their bullying tone
TO one Of more humility, and roar you as
gently as the sucking dove. One Of

taking, and says: Those opposed to
the present administration do not seem

question Of policy, but chiefly attack the
