The JackaIs Of Politics.

This name is applied by the St. Lou.
is Dispatch to that class who since tile
end of tie war make ofice-hnnting a
business, and rob and plumber the
Southern States: ''"
They enter politics just as better
men enter commerce, or professions, or
trades, with an eye steadily fixed On
profits and emoluments. and a hand
skillfully extended t o receive til Q
same. They adopt the manners and
addresses Of gentlemen and feign the
Wisdom Of statesmen with all the as
sur,ance of Monsieur Jour.lain in Mol
iere's play, and, being always under
the spnr:of interest, manage to infilse
a push and vim into their st, le aid
manners Of action highly calculated TO
pass for ability and genius With the
superficial multitude. They keep
close observation IF all political ''pro-
liabilities" for they are their guide in
action; and they wire pull and manib-
nlate and pack meetings, stuff ballot
boxes, and bny influence and beg office
till they line their pulses with i'll got
ten gains, and hang themselves, like
sloths, upon the richest laden offices,
from whice it takes perfect storm to
shake them. .'.' ~
Since tie war, with its corrnpting
and bloody lessons, Infused its own
recklestness into almost every depart
mept Of political life, these gentry
have marvelously increased in number.
They swarm in political gatherings.
They hunt their prey in public sta

These. men, are the curse Of our pol

b. A CASE, FOR THE HORSE DoCToRs.-
jackson McGpwn, of South Union, tells
us of a rather singular case Of the '.ep-
iz"otic." Some time ago q fine mule
belonging to the Shakers becamea vic
tia to the disease, but, in the coursetbt
time, seemed to recover. and was then
attacked with 4 swelling, which began
in the animals feet. The swelling,
which was very hard. gradually passed
up the limbs of the mule, took posses
sien Of his. body, and then concent,a-
ted in his bead, whirh assumed very
large proportions. As a consequence
both eyes Of the mule popped out in
succession from the head, and he died.
During all the time his swelling was
in progress the mule eat heartily; and
now his remains have been resting in
an open fiId tor three weeks in a state
of perfect preservation The case is
certainly a singular one, and we com
mend it to the attention of the horse
misunderstanding G'een tKy.) Dem
