dignified shape, without having sent
any corpse down from the window.
"Why, I simply kicked him down
stairs--that's what's the matter" re-
sponded the boyish voice of Darrell
at the top; "and if he comes up here
again l won't let him off so easy
DO not be afraid of him; l took oil
his weapons from him."
Wolf struggled to his feet, rub.
bing his head, and presenting such a
ludicrous appearance that he was
greeted with loud jeers and bursts of
laughter So completely had he
tumbled from his lofty eminence in
the eyes of those who either admired
or fes red bold murderer, that they
who an hour before would have
dreaded to offend him by word or
look, now regarded him only with
contempt-laughed at and derided
him.
Never before had the rough crowd
seen man with an established repu.
tation like Mr. Wolf thus suddenly
fall to such depth Of degradation
All his name, fame, prestige, melted
away like mist, and he was no long
er feared-no longer respected by the
low thieves and cutthroats around
bim-only despised. Yes, despised
by the meanest of creatures, whom he
had often bullied as though they had
been hounds.
The dread which had surrounded
his name seemed to vanish like mist

BROWNS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
THE DELAY EXPLAINED.

ST.. LOUIS, August 10.-A letter
from b. Gratz Brown, accepting the
nomination by the Baltimore Con-
vention, as Vice-President, is pub
lished this evening. It is dated Au-
gust 9Th. After acknowledging the
receipt of the letter of notification, he
expresses his qualification for the dis
tinction conferred, and his determi-
nation, if elected, to discharge the
duties of Office with fidelity to the
trust, devotion to Republican inter-
ests, and an infexible resolution to
prove not unworthy of their choice.
He reposes also upon the declaration
of the principles affirmed by the
Liberal Republicans at Cincinnati,
and proclaimed without amendment
by the Democratic party at Balti-
more. He gives assurance that in
this combined expression there is
sought only q deliyerance of the
nation from present great peril to
its peace and its liberties; and con-
cludes:
"'To that end all minor consider
ations have been subordinated. An
illustration is presented to the
country of the unselfsh patriotism
rather than any sticking partisan
advantage, which should convince all
OF the perfect sincerity of this move
ment. 1t has involved no surrender
by either party of any former connec-
tions; it has not been negotiated or
bargained; its origin was from the
people. Though differing in the past
on some issues of great magnitude,
yet now that they are settled by the
party who have since ratified your
action with such singular unanimity,
say to them that in accepting this,
their nomination, I do so believing
their is nothing in honor or in con-
science that should prevent most
cordial cooperation henceforth in
behalf of the policy presented. In
concluding, it is proper to state that
severe illness has interyened since
the reception of your communication,
which has delayed this reply until
my recovery and return home.
With very great respect,
yours truly,
B. GRATZ BROWN"

the prisoners to Charleston. These
helpless men were handcuffed in
pairs, taken down to the depot,
locked up in box car like cattle,
bnt unlike cattle they did not have
free use Of their limbs.
The United States Grand jury
met and soon returned q verdict OF
murder. OF course not one of the
jury had the remotest idea that any
OF the prisoners had ever even
thought of numbering anybody, yet,
as it was q part of the programme,
they had it to do. And now the
strangest thing occurs that has ever
been heard Of, either in civil or mill
tary law. After all this display Of
force, the refusal of bail, the free use
OF bars, bolts, and manacles to pre-
vent the escape of prisoners deemed
30 terrible, and after the Grand jury
had rendered verdict of guilty OF
murder, these outraged American
citizens were discharged from jail,
upon their own recognizance, and
allowed to go home.
One OF the most glaring ontrages
committed by Grants Marshals was
on the 23d Of June last. James
Malloney, an Assistant United States
Marshal, accompanied by Oscar Can
non, a colored penitentiary convict,
Willis johnson and Peter Simmons,
coiored Dien, went to the store of
Thomas W. Blease, at the cross
roads near this place, and two Of the
Grant ruffians seized Blease's son,
while Maloney stood in front of him
with a pistol swearing that he inten-
ded to shoot him. After the boy had
been held in this position several
minutes he was released. Maloney
and the negroes then went 10 Blease' s
house. Mr.. Bleese, John J. Barre,
ID. NJ. Ward and T. r. Perry were
sitting on the piazza, and Maleney
and his companions fired on them
without any warning. Barre received
a severe wound, and several attempts
were made to shoot Ward. Mrs.
Blease was lying dangerously i'll in
the house, and was so much affected
by the shooting that her condition
become hopeless. Having emptied
their pistols. Maloney explained 10
the unresisting and unharmed men
who were still on the piazza, that he
had warrants for Ward and Barre.
He permitted Barre TO remain at the
house, as the man was bleeding to
death. As Mallory was leaving
Blease told his son to go for q ply
sician, at which one of the Grant
gang turned and said: "If you leave
the house l will shoot YOU" Blease
has never taken any part in politics
having all his life pursued the peace.

AN EDITORS LIFE.

To what use some people would
put an editor. They would have
him say nothing but what is whis-
pered into his ear in the way of
friendly advice. They would not,
for the world, be thought to dictate
the course he should take. They
would distill their own spleen and
malice through his brain. Other
people may have liberty, indepen-
dence of thought or action, but the
editor must please all; and in trying
to do SO he pleases no one. One in
dividual entertained grudge against
another and lie wanted an article
aimed at him. For the ladies there
is not enough about the fashions.
For some men there is too much po-
litical, and not enough for others.
You don't come out strong enough
for some, and rice versa for others.
There is piece of scandal afioat,
and the scandal mongers think it
ought TO be mentioned. Bad poetry
is rejected; and the would-be poets
are mad. Every feeling and passion
is represented. and oil cry for re-
dress. You may have rendered a
great service in various ways; it is all
forgotten in the desire to be gratifed
again. You may be as fond of quiet
as they are but they demand the ex-
citement that you can and must give
them in q paper. Your indepen-
dence they make slavery. Your
brains are for them so much raw ma
terial from which articles for their
consumption are to be hammered
out as long as they will last; and
when incessant labor, by night as
well as by day. has worn you out,
body and mind, you are to be laid
aside, like some old machine, and
another found to supply your place,
Such is the life of the editor of O
daily paper, only the one-tenth part
has not been told. But there is q
remedy for oil these evils. He car
deny himself to all the grumblers
and burn, without reading, the epis
ties unworthy of consideration
"Stop my paper!' is the vengeance
inflicted by angry subscribers. The
editor has only to smile at this and
he is safe.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

Senator Fenton, one of the Finance
Committee of the Senate, has knock
ed the last prop from under the Radi-
cal Administration. The apologists
and white washers have boasted like
veritable Gascons of how their chief
has been paying off the National
Debt. The King, says Senator Fen
ton, 'founds the city, the King builds
the temple, Justinian and Napoleon
gave codes of laws, and Grant pays
off The National Debt" He then
goes on TO show by former speech
OF Boutwells that during the Admin
istration of the desIised Andrew
johnson, the debt was actually re-
dnced in greater proportion than dur
ing this. The Radicals claim a re-
duction of one hundred millions a
year under Grant. But it turns out
that under Johnson, according to
Boutwell,, the reduction was at the
rate of sl45,0 5,000,0U0 per annum, or
nearly 33 per cent. greater. This re-
duction of the public debt has moth
ing to do with the merits of either
Grant or johnson, but when analyzed
simply proves the enormous taxes to
which the people have been subjected.
There are but three courses for the
custodian of the public funds, when a
surplus product accrues in his hands
he may pay it on the National indebt.
edness, hoard it in the Treasury, or
steal it or allow it to be stolen. To
claim credit for either of the former
courses is as absurd as it would be to
claim credit for taking the latter
The public officers are the servants
and agents of the people, and not
their masters. If portion of the
public debt has been paid. the credit
for it is due the people who furnished
the funds, often.at a sacrifice which
deprived women and children of many
highly taxed necessities of life, and
not to President, bloated with pride
of place, luxuriating at Long Branch
in round nf pleasures, and "sellins
his offices for gold. ."-,Soaonsa Demo

THE OLD, OLD HOME.

Like angel troops they come,
III fold my arms to ponder
On the old, old home.
Inc heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle Is sacred
10 the thoughts OF old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered
Like rose-buds from the blast,
Where girihood's brief elysiufn
In jOyousDess was passed,
To that sweet spot forever,
As TO some bailowed dome.
LIES pilgrim bends her VISION
'Tis her old, old home.
A father sat, how proudly,
BY that hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
OF his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beaming,
From child to child twould roam
Thus u mother counts her treasures.
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn
tSome dear one who was swelling IL
Is with the SeraphirnI.
The fond good nights" at bedtime,
How quiet sleep would come,
And fold US all together
In the old, old horne.
Like wreath Of scented flowers
Close Intertwined each heart;
But time and change i'm concert
Have blown the wreath apart.
But dear and sainted memories
Like angels ever come,
III fOId my arms and ponder
On the old, old home.

DIAMONDS.

Rumors have been in circulation
for some time of the discovery of
valuable diamond and ruby mine
somewhere within thousand miles
Of San Francisco. One of the stock
journals is responsible for the follow
ing information concerning the same,
which we would caution our readers
cum grano sails. although the gentle
men mentioned as being connected
Herewith are all well-known citizens.

We are authorized to make public

which has excited O warm interest
among q particular circle of San
Francisco capitalists for short term
past. A few months ago q small lot
Of diamonds and rubies were brought
to the notice of some gentlemen we'll
known in the mining world. With
the information that the precious
stones had been obtained at o point
designated, not far from one of the
boundary lines of
THE TERRITORY OF NEW MEXICO,
These gentlemen-among whom
we may mention George d. Roberts,
A. Harpending, WIN. M. Lent and
General Dodge-authorized Henry
Janin, the mining engineer. well
known in our financial circles, to
organize an armed party aud proceed
to the ground and report. That
gentleman did SO, aud returned with
q considerable collection Of both
diamonds and rubies. The rubies,
while of the valuable tints, were
small. The value of the collection
of stones brought in by Mr.. Janin
was stated to be fully 500, 900
Messrs. Roberts and Harpending
took prompt and energetic measures
to secure the title to the ground on
which these important discoveries
were made, and have already received
from the United States Government
its patent to the claim. Mr.. Janin
was also instructed to organize q
second and larger expedition and
proceed to the ground in prosecution
of
FURTHER OPERATIONS.
Some of the stones brought in By
Mr.. Janin's first expedition, both cut
and in the rough, are now in Sar
Francisco. It may interest the Gu
riosity of the scientific to know that
the ground in which the New Mexico
| stones are fOund ia neither a sand
like that of Brazil, nor mari, like
the matrix of the new Cape-of Good
Hope diamond fields.
1t is stated by one of the gentle
men interested that company ha
already been formed with Genera
George B. Mcclellan and one of tn,
editors of the New York Tribune al
directors, to develop this wondrou
discovery. Articles of incorporation
have been drafted and will soon b
put in force.

PEN PICTURE OF JEFFERSON
Jefferson was stripping of seven
teen, tall, raw-boned, freckled and
sandy haired, when, in ITO, he came
to Williamsburg from the Far West
of Virginia, to enter the college of
William and Mary. With his large
feet and hands, his thick wrists, and
prominent cheek bones and chin,
he could not have been accounted
either handsome or graceful. He is
described, however, as fresh, bright,
healthy-looking youth, as straight as
a gun barrel, sinewy and strong, with
that alertness of movement that comes
of early familiarity with saddle, gun,
canoe, minuet and country dance
that sure, elastic tread and ease OF
bearing which we still observe in the
country-bred lads who have been ex-
empt from the ruder tolls of agricul.
ture, while enjoying in full measure
the freedom and sports of the coun-
try. His teeth, too, were perfect
which alone redeem a countenance
destitute of other charms; his eyes
which were of hazel gray, were beam,
ing and expressive; and his demeanol
gave assurance of kind and gentle
heart, and sympathetic, inquisitive
mind. Such lads, eager and uniform
ed, still come to college from honest
country homes, regions where agri
culture is carried on upon scale thai
allows some leisure to the farmers
family, some liberality of expenditure
books, music, tincture of arts
and hospitable habits. How wei
come, how dear to instructors worthy
of them, are such unhackneyed minds
in bodies unimpaired. = Atla,ati'

It is said that womanly despair for
the loss of love endures three

summer; the second month a lady

she hears of her former lovers mar
riage, and wonders show she could
have loved a man with a red mus
