Good heavens, think Of it! Democrats

him Colonel, and speaking about his high char
acter and qualifications! We are lost in amaze
ment! Now let the yesty waves confound and
swallow navigation up, the heavens fall, or Ben
Butler reform! We are ready for anything!
Tom Bouton, what but death is left for high
toned Democrats now? Let Us become desper-
ate and reform. Let ua pay railroad fare and
hotel bills, and dead-head no more! Niggers for
Office! Recommended by Democratic members
Of Congress! Order out tho hearae !-Cairo
Tho Philadelphia Press advocates the ex-

that this must be done sooner or later, and that
now is the time to do it, since it
interferes with nobody's claims, and comes in
collision with nobodys ambition. We are in
chned to believe that the minds Of the great
mass Of the American people are gradually grow
ing in favor of the limitation advocated BY the
Press. It certainly would tend very much to
prevent many OF the evils now complained Of.
Besides, it would promote greater Independence
on the part Of the President. He would then
be free from all temptation to sacrifice his own
honest convictions with view Of securing re-
election--AAoa Telegraph.
