WHAT THE BOURBONs DID.

As our readers know the Bourbon
Democracy, calling themselves the
"straightouts," met in convention last
Tuesday at Louisville, for the purpose of
nominating candidate for President and
Vice President Of the United States.
After much blowing, putting and adver-
Using, in which they we're ably seconded
and materially aided by the Radical
party all over the country, about three
hundred of them met to show how great
an ass each could make of himself The
whole affair was concocted and carried
out by the Grant party, for the purpose
if possible, of gripping the ground
swilp which has so abundantly mani
tested itself in favor Of Greeley for the
E<z~-;ng their own party so
]rally and fecrfully dismembered, The
sadicals determined to leave no stone
unturned to accomplish ths end they so
greatly longed and hoped for. Radical
I. Congressmen freely gave the use of their,
inks tn circulate the Bourbon doc6-
meats, which of itself il a base fraud
upon the Government snda species of
deception an6-d6wnrieht rascality, and
.s,ght 10 be sufficient to damn any
party and to show the spirit of the
Grantites. Radical postmasters took
great pains to distribute mail matter
which had hue of Bourbonism on the
outside wrapper, and have shown won
1erful skin and kindness in posting in
conspicuous places any and everything
which had tendency to draw public
attention to the Bourbon conclave at
Louisville. But then we know they
were commanded to do so, and they
dared not refuse to obey the behests Of
their lords and masters.
Well the Bourbons met--and did
whstl Nominated a man who positively
declines to accept the doubtful honor,
-rr-lsa-telegraphed the respondent mem
bers Of the Grant side-show. And thus
ends one OF the tamest, most insignificant
political farces this great country has
ever witnessed. Before adjournment,
however. they determined that in the
even, of the death of Mr.. O'Connor, or
his refusal to accept, the Committee Of
their party should have power and full
authority to fill the vacancy by their
own appointment, Now that Charles
0'Connor has declined, ii is almost GER
tain that said committee will put in the
fed Mr.. John Quincy Adams, of Mas
saahusetts, for President, and a Mr..
Lygus, from somewhere, as Nice-Presi- !
dent. If they fIil to accept, then we
presume the yigilant and determined
committee will keep on hunting until
they find some two men who will accept, |
simply from a willingness and desire to
foe their names handed down 10 future
genestions NJ candidates for the two
highest Offices IN the gift of the American
people.

Paying Tribute.

Some of the ancient kings and tyrants
of the world, in other ages, raised the
greater part of their revenues by exact
ing tribute from their subjects. To
such an extent was this nefarious law
carried, that the subject was compellet
to pay tribute upon almost everything he
bought, sold, used or gave away. Our
own revenue Jaws are nearer approach
to this ancient tyrannical law than any
.aing else; but it is not Of this kind Of
"tribute" we wish now to speak. The
custom still prevails in many countries
beside our own, but not to such bur
densome degree. 1t is "of and concern
ing" private individuals we wish to make
mention.
There are petty tyrants among ordin-
airy civilians-men as exacting as ever
Nero or Cligula was. These men demand
that tribute be paid to them. They ex-
act it at the hands Of their fellow-men; and
the only passport to their kingly affect
ions, is found in an abject ard absolute
obedience to their demands for ''trib-
ute."
True, it is not a money tribute which
they require; but homage, hattery-a
looking-up-to must be given them, else
one is "cut off" from their list of
friends" Such men desire to lead in
their particular calling They will not
be lead. All men within the radius of
their influence must bow before them in
solemn reverence.
They demand that you look to them
for advice, for counsel, for everything
which has tendency to ameliorate your
suiierings, or promote your welfare.
If you stoop to this, you are at once
taken into full fellowship. You are by
them esteemed friend and worthy sub
jec,.
Then your liking" will not, for mo-
ment, brook the slightest rebellion against
his powerful J,,d; for if you exhibit any
thing like rebellion, at once you are cut
off from the kings revenues, the kings
affections, and are out-iSwed, go far as
his high prerogative can accomplish that
object.
These "tribute" people are in every
community, and among all classes aud
trades and callings and professions.
Even the sacred pulpit contains them.
The arts, sciences and learned professions
have them. Every intelligent man and
woman can call to mind some one or
more persons whose pictures we have
attempted TO draw.

Vermont EIecllon.

The recent election in the State OF
Vermont, has resulted in the usual Rad
ical majority. Local causes had much
TO do with the matter, and the best in
formed politicians assert that Greeley
and Brown will receive a much larger
vote than the Liberal Democratic ticket
received, on the recent occasion.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.


Connecticut is safe for Greeley by
about 10000 majority as things now
stand.
The Liberal Republicans and Demo
Gratis Of Michigan have nominated Hon.
Austin Blair for Governor.
Blanton Duncan called DR.. Kellar, Of
Louisville liar the other day and the
Doctor put a small head on him in
return.
The Democrats and Liberals Of Mis-
souri, nominated Hon. Silas Woodson,
Democrat, of Buchanan county, for
Governor.
President Grant is holding up the
Russian mission as a prize to be contended
for BY abitious Radical aspirants in the
Presidential campaign.
"Brick Pomeroy," B. u. Convention
er, who has engaged 40 rooms at the
Gait House. was sold cut by the sheriff
week or two since at La Crosse.
Senator Sumner says: "From all i
can learn, and my correspondence covers
a good deal of country. am disposed to
conclude that Greeley and Brown will
be elected by an overwhelmingly large
majority
A delegate from Arkansas to the b.
ID. side show was arrested upon his ar
rival in Louisville on a charge of OBJ
tanning goods under false pretences.
Blanton generously paid the bill Of sl2O,
in order to have quorum.
Albert Pixies letter charging that
Henry Wilson was a Know-Nothing,
and as such attended the Philadelphia
Convention in 1855 remains unchal-
lenged. A letter is going the rounds
purporting to have been written by VIII
son lately to some German in Brooklyn,
denying the fact, but Wilson pronounces
it forgery So the Republican candid
ate for the Vice-Presidency dares not
deny that he was member of a Know
Nothing lodge. Put that in your pipe,
Pat!
Senator Trumbull, who has just re-
turned from Maine, says the election
which will be held on the 9th inst. will
be very close. The Grant party are
making most desperate efforts to insure
success, and have sent on their best
speakers and have furnished all necessary
funds to further any project suggested
by their State Committee. Many of the
leaders claim that they will carry the
State by an increased majority, while
Others admit that the majority will be
reduced.

NJ. II. B., the sprightly lady correspondent
of the Missouri Republican, has been taking
Turkish bath in New York, and don't like
it. Here's what she says of it:
We were ,divested of every stitch of our
clothing, our rings and bracelets locked up,
our back hair taken off, our own special
possession of seventy-five or a hundred hairs
made into little hirsute pill and impaled
with hair pin. That was the only token o
civilization we boasted. The procession
formed. AT the door we were handed mini
ature sheet and little bit of sponge wet with
cold water. Through passage to a room,
where we dropped our sheet and entered a
vapor that clothed us decently. L wonder
the Illustrated Police Gazette or the Days
Doings haven't hit on that business for illus
tration. Well, in this steam l thouoht 1
should suflocate. 1t poured out and in and
down through holes till it was dreadful.
The use of the sponge, here ascertained,
was to put on the top of your head to prevent
''cOup de steam," or some snch dire COM
plant. They wouldn't let me out and the
temperature got worse and worse, and / be-
gen to think of my mother and an obituary
notice in the Republican, when we were pro-
nounced cooked enough, and let out into a
room in which was mighty tank of cold wa
ter, through which you could wade or swim
as you could. Caesars ghost L flew through
it. My anatomy and physiology were
heated to boiling point. This water seem
ed like ice. 1t sent the blood rushing to my
hollow head Pm convinced have no
brains), and my heart came kerhop up and
went kerchunk down. / made up my mind
this was the worst of it, and tried to be re-
signed. l had been soaped and scrubbed in
the vapor room till / was scarified. / stood
ON the brink and watched my companions
splashing through the Internal tank. One of
'em, to expedite her own release, caught at
my ankle; away went my soapy slippery feet
from under me, and in went for second
time. How very near an end was the hap
py connection between NJ. ii. b. and the st.
Louis Republican.
At the next stage of this truly awful ex-
perience we received the "shewer." l had
now become convinced that l should never
see home or friends again. In a calm des-
pair walked under a solid column of water
that nearly broke my back, and just here 1
got mad. That fat attentant hasn't yet re-
covered sufficiently to make q complaint, and
when the thin woman went before Judge
Bowling, that gentleman said it was a con-
spiracy; that no one woman of my size, un-
aided, could do such damage. He told the
woman to go home and say nothing about it,
for she'd evidently been dreadfully drunk and
undertaken to walk through acarpet-cleaning
machine. And that's the first and last Rus
sian bath take.

ANGELINA GUsHINGToN's THOUGHTS ON
MEN AND THINGS.
This is reprint Of a clever little English
book, apparently written by young lady ''of
the PERIOD" who tells us in the preface that
she is a little goose, and then proceeds to give
us her views on various subjects. Croquet
and dancing she is quite at home in-as to
ga Woman's Work. her ideas are a little
vague, and when she writes on Philosophy
her language is so very nebulous as to lead
the unrefective mind to believe that Miss
Angelina is a first-class metaphyscian. The
scenes and manners, described with lively
sense of humor and keen but pleasant satire
are of course thoroughly English, but the
interesting matter and lively style will recon-
mend the book to readers on this side of the
Atlantic. Published by G.. w. Carleton G

Musical.

''Gelmina," the new opera by Prince Pom
iatowski has been performed in London,
Nine. Adelina Patti in the title role. The
London Orchestra is disposed to be severe
upon both libretto and score. The heroine is
described as ga Donizetti coquette in the first
act and a Verdan victim in the last" The
hero who murders Gelmina in mistake for the
the villain of the play-verdict insanity-is
graphically designated by the vivacious Orches-
ira as. "three-fourths fool even in his lucid in
tervals." The Count, who ought to have been
killed, but by the aforementioned little er-
ror of mistaken identity, wasn't, is of the
Count di Luna-tic pattern. rejoicing in very
high-top boots and very low bass notes. The
plot is most incOnsequent one, the reason
for anything said or done not being apparent
to the ordinary understanding. The musical
composition of the work is mixture of the
styles of Mozart, Bellini, Verdi and Donizet-
ii. The opera was saved from being .fascO
by the exquisite acting and singing of Nine.
Patti, in the last scene incomparably touch
ing and throughout the performance brilliant
and satisfactory. The tenor and bass did
their best with ungracious roles. Prince Pom
iatowski has written twelve operas, a mass in
ID and other works. His opera bafd 'Don
Desiderio' was very successful in Paris, in
1859, eliciting praise from Rossini and Carafa.
The Prince has been long known in Paris as
an appreciative and liberal patron of art.
He formed society for the performance of
sacred music, and introduced in Florence the
symphonies of Beethoven. The fall of the
Empire exiled him from France, and the
granddaughter and representative of Stanis-
laus, the last king of Poland, earns his live
lihood by teaching music in London.
The New York Weekly says that Mr.
Strakosch has engaged for the season Of 1873,
Nine. Adelina Patti, Miss Annie Louise
Cary, and the new tenor, Sig. Italo Campan-
inl, whose debut in London was so eminently
successful. He is young, only twenty-three,
with the finished style of the mature artist.
Nine. PATHS and Miss Cary's triumphs ON
the lyric stage are so well known as to need
no special mention here. The combination
will make an exceedingly attractive concert
troupe.
The London Orchestra says that NJ. Goun-
cd is coming out as a singer. He will make
his debut in this capacity at Albert Hall on
the 18th inst. He will sing one of his own
compositions, the ''Maid of Athens" Great
interest will no doubt be felt In the appear
ance of the talented composer of Faust, in
such a new role. A chorus of thousand
select voices will assist in the performance of
the programme.
The French journals announce the death
of the celebrated organist, NJ. Michel Engal-
bert, at the age of 92 years. He presided at
the organ of Notre Dame at the coronation OF
Napoleon the First.

Anna. She fairly divided the honors of the
evening with Nine. Vatti who was the Ter
