NO MORE NEW DEPARTURES.
TFrom the Charleston Mercury.l


We do not regard it animpeachment
TO be called an old fogy when the term
is applied to modern party progress.
Progress now means a surrender of
principles 1t is cOwardly retreat
from old strongholds under the flag of
policy. Progress means the sealing of
ones lips lest they testify to the truth
1t is bending of the knee in subserv-
iency to some freshly Matched scheme
which has nothing to indorse it but
tickle popular sentiment. Progress
fashions its idol, and to-day would
crown it king, and tomorrow cry,
away with it, cruelty il" 1t clamors
for departure from old established prin-
ciples, cuts loose from ancient moorings
and gives itself to the chances and
changes of the times. Rather give us
the old principles, which, though some
what out of date, have a history inlaid
with the most precious and enduring
memories of the past.
We regret to see the symptoms of
restlessness already manifested in the
Democratic party. They have as yet
no great breadth of existence, nor have
assumed any very definite shape, yet
the forces for some kind Of a new
movement are being mustered here and
there. One at least of the most popu-
lar and trusted journals of Kentucky
is becoming plant, and talks Democ-
racy in a less pronounced tone than
heretofore. 1t has not yet displayed
the full front of its designs. 1t is
rather by hints paving the way for the
introduction of its new creation. In
Allen county, Ohio, the same symptom
has come out IN distinct, full-fedged
form. 1t is nothing less than an aban-
donment of the Democratic party and
the consolidation into one form of all
the opposition to the two parties as
they now exist. Some of the ideas
promulg gated are goOd-such as 3enun-
citation of corruption in high places,
the salary steal, etc, but these ideas
are Democratic and should be urged
and battled for inside the party. In
deed, we can discover nothing the par
~ can gain by recedrng an inch from
the original principles on which true
Democracy was planted. What the
country most needs is fresh and ear
nest enunciation of these principles.
The miserable failure in the attempt to
elect Greeley by a vast amalgamation
at the sacrifice of sound Democracy
was the last departure, and its fate
should prove a warning to the men
who are now busy in constructing a
huge political Joseph's coat, thereby
hoping to win. Better far be defeated
in devotion to principle than be sue
cessful in its betrayal. Better far let
Grant be reelected until he is as old
as Methuselah than defeat him by a
hollow truce with combinations, which
while inimical to Grant, are hostile to
genuine Democracy.

GRANT AND MosBY.-And now the
the guerrilla Mosby is brought to the
front once more, for the purpose of
enabling his friends to authorize the
publication of the assertion that he
will support the Conservative candidate
for Governor, whoever he meav be, in the
ensuing political canvass in Virginia.
1t is denied that he has misled the
President into the belief that he
(Mosby) is Republican, and it is as
serted that he only supported and voted
for Grant last fall as the least of two
evils, and that his so-called success in
walking into the affections of the
President to the extent of few dozen
Federal appointments is a mystery only
to be accounted for on the suppose
ton that Grant believes implicitly in
the law of compensation Cincinnati

A GHosTLY VISITATION.


The Davenport Gay Gazette vouehes
for the absolute truth of the following,
though from obvious reasons all names
are suppressed:
Zone Of the leading citizens of North
Davenport had an only daughter who
was betrothed to a young man of fair
promise, clerk in a leading CONNER

His visits to that city were regular,
and arrangements had been made for
an immediate union, when the BRIDE
elect was stricken down by typhoid
fever, and in spite of all which skill
and care could do, died. The Gazette
reporter SAYS: I'VE saw her in her
coffin dressed for the bridal of death,
not for the consummation of all earthly
love. We witnessed the agony of her
lover as he bent in speechless, tear
less abstraction over the lined
case"
After the melancholy Journey to
Oakdale the young man returned to
Dubuque. Nervous fever set in, and
a peculiar hallucination seized him
that. his lost one was present in the
room, draped in the same garb which
had enveloped her clay. All remon-
