INDIVIDUALS die, but prlnc:-
Piles live forever A party
may bury a host of leaders,
yet if it adheres to principle
it's strength remains unimpair-
ed. The principles OF justice
underlie the Republican party.
They forced it into being; they
sustained il through unequal
conflict; they upheld it in the
hour of supreme trial. The
people endorsed it because it
proclaimed freedom as the
birth-right of man, and because
they saw in it the only power
that could overthrow the des-
potism of human slavery and
the corrupt party that stood
between it and outraged liber-
ty. 1t accomplished what it
set out to do. The institution
OF slavery is no more. The
chattels of yesterday have
been transformed into the
freemen of to-day. The Dem
ocratic party exists only IN
tho tradiaono of tho pact. A
new era has dawned upon
American civilization. This
glorious work has Eeen the
work OF the people. They
have recognized and followed
leaders as long as those lead
ers showed devotion to the
principles of the party. They
abandoned them when they
found them untrue to the trust
confided in them. The lead
ers of the past are not the
leaders of the present. A few
have survived the temptations
and trials. of years, but the
many have either fallen in
honorable service, or beer lett
behind because they were
found unworthy TO lead the
advance. Still the party lives,
because its principles are as
pure and strong as ever. That
bad men bave crept into its
ranks and worn its honors can
not be denied; but when dis
covered they have been driven
from power as unworth If
trust. We have an abiding
faith in the Republican party.
AS long as the people Of the
nation endorse the principles
of justice, the party will live
and exert a controlling lnau-
ence on natio nal affairs.
From time to time we shall
hear of official corruption, but
in the future, as in the past,
the Republican party will
neither justify nor defend 1t.
1t has already given abundant
evidence of its intention to
ferret out and punish raScaIity
wherever found. The party
that keeps a vigilant eye upon
its own members, that is quick
to expose the short comings of
It's own leaders, that had set
its face against corruption in
whatever form 1t appears, is a
safe party TO trust. 1t is too
early to begin another cam
paign, but we warn our Dem
ocratic friends not to take
much stock in the Liberal
machine that is being con-
structed to smash the glorious
old party OF freedom.-W Wash
ington Republic.

the Complaints Of the COIored voters.

A colored citizen of the NintA Ward, member
OF the Republican party, takes exception TO the
course of the party. He objects to the colored
voters wasting their votes upon party that ex
cludes them from fair share of the Offices
But what cares the leaders of that party for such
objections or those who raise them, when in the
face thereof, squads of 1lfy and sixty negro
voters can be supplied to take the place OF SO
many of such voters at any time and place by
timely arrangement, asHppears to have been done
in the Ninth Ward at the late city election. The
negro voter is mere toy in the hands of such
gentlemen Us arranged them 10 vote in the cleo
ton here last week. These Republican masters
of the negroes can vote them as they please and
no Republican can be elected TO office unless they
first get the support Of the men who control the
negro vote and then the vote Of the negroes
themselves. To such condition has the Repub-
lican party fallen.

oUR Radical neiGhbors are very much e!ated
with tho success of their party at the lato city
election, as they undoubtedly have a right to be.
Through the Indifference of the Democrats and
white people generally the negroes put in enough
votes to carry the election. But the inference
that the State and county will be carrisd by that
party in 1874 is too hasty entirely Our neigh
bOrs must remember that the negroes from the
country who voted here last week cannot vote In
both places. As the negro Republican vote is in
creased here it is decreased in the neighbOrhoodl
or hundreds from which they come. 1.-THE Dem
ocrats have the mettle of their fathers the State
will be preserved long time yet from negro
supremacy.

RICH PENSIONERS AND A STARVING Pc
T1TToNER.-1n New York city the name of
Daniel Drew, the railway millionaire, has been
added to the roll Of pensioners Of the war of
1872 by Pension Agent butcher Mr.. Drew,
served as private soldier under Winfield
Scott, and q short time ago he made applIca-
ton to be put on the list The eight dollars
q month that he Is entitled to from the Gov
ernment he intends TO give away. In this re-
sPect he will fellow the example of ThurlOW
Weed and Governor Dix. Mr. Drew will not
get his first payment until his return from
Europe. In this connection it may be stated
that the Washington Chronicle says "a vet
eran Of the war of 1872, residing in baltimore
writes to Treasurer Spinner that he is in a
starving condition; that he has been applying
to the commissioner Of pensions for the last
thirty OF forty years for back pay, but has
failed to receive it. He now desires to be as
sisted out OF the conscience fund, or il that
cannot be done, he is satisfied that the back
pay OF some timid Congressman, who has stu
pidly turned it into the Treasury, would make
him comfortable the remainder Of his days.

WOODEN RAlL ROADS.

There is now hundred mills Of wooden rail-
roads in operation in Canada.
In level country like Delaware, il is sal such
roads could be constructed very easily and very
cheaply. We take the following paragraphs from
plan for building them from a canada maya
zine:
TRACK.
The track is formed OF heavy lOga, hewed on
the upper side to the width Of 8 in, and ON the
inside at right angles, sufficiently deep to form a
straight edge for the AAngs, These logs arerbu-
Ted that the top, rail surface 10 almost level
with the road surface, resting on stout sIs a. the
ends and middle, to which th0y are secured BY
wedged treenais. The rails therefore, are sOlidly
bedded, and are not likely to warp OF twist.
Twenty feet would be a convenient le0gth on
curves, but on straight lines longer pieces could
be used, the tics being 10 #. apart. The grading
OF sufficient width q side hill with gentle
slopes, would cost about 800 per mile for e.
gauge but OF course, the cost Of graduation Will
vary greatly with the locality. RaVines and small
water-courses would in general be crossed with
rough trestles or timber cribs. IleWing the tim
Der would cost about 5000 per mile. In wooded
country, where timber eau DO obtained along the
line OF the road where no large bridges are re-
qnired, and no rock tO be excavated, the cost of
such . wooden railroad should be covered by from
$500 TO 81, 900 per mile, depending upon the
amount of earth-work.
CARS.
The cars proposed for such wooden railroads
are simple frames placed on wheels, without
springs, and covered with q aobr of plank. The
wheels are of wood, built up OF pieces cut from
2-in plank In the torn of regular sectors, about
IN. at the wide end. Four thieknesses of plank
will build wheel with tread of in. cores
pOnding WitE,the face of the rail. cast iron
hub is inserted in the center, through which an
iron axle passes, and q cast-iron hange is bolted
on the inside. The timber should be Of hard
wood, we'll seasoned, the sectors laid 90 as 10
break joints and well bolted. DiSmeter Of wheels
about 30 in. Such cars, II used with horses, will
cost about $40 or 500 or about Onethird the price
OF a farm wagon; rhey will carry tonsp and can
be made by any rough hand who can use carpen-
ter tools If designed for use with locomotives in
trains, draw bars and springs must be used, and
the cost per car increased.
MOTIVE PowKH.
Horse power can be used but if the tonage is
considerable, It will be preferable to adopt light
engine Of 6 or tons, with wide driving wheels,
covered with Vulcanized rubber tire. Such en-
gines can be manufactured al the Baldwin Loco
motive Works for about 81 600. Passengers could
be carried in the proposed roads with such en-
gines at speed Of 10 or IL miles y hour. which
would make great improvement. n he stage
coach.
Such roads would rot out long before they would
wear out, and the answer TO the objection that
they are not durIble Is simply .eat they will last
Just as long as the crosstisS or hn ordinary rail-
road, and it will cost less to renew them. Post
oak tics in the South last from ten to fifteen years.

THE PANIC.

The worst of the panic seems over.
Aside from the great misfortune of the
failure of Fisk & Hatch, following hard
upon that of Jay Cooke & Co., it has
been not at all commercial, but purely
a fancy stock crash. Not mercantile
house is affected. Not a savings bank
is troubled General business in New
York has rarely been better, and there
is little or no alarm outside of specula-
tive circles. But holders of third rate
railroad stocks have suffered and are de-
stined to suffer. For many concern
not yet reached, there is, through the
approaching winter, bad outlook. Fan
cy prices have been broken, the public
disposition to invest in fancy stocks is
gone, even meritorious railroad enter
prises will be viewed with distrust, and
shaky houses may expect to spend the
rest Of the season in diligent underpin-
ming.

kYELLOW FEVER In MEMPHIS.

MEMPHIS. Sept. 19.-In obedience to
the mayors proclamation to-day was
observed generally as day of fasting
and prayer, religious services being held
in most of the churches, and business
generally suspended. The cool weather
of last night has increased the mortal
ity, which numbers twenty -four, six
teen being from yellow fever. The
Howard association report six new cases.
Fifteen additional nurses will arrive to-
night from Mobile. Among the deaths
to-day were Anderson Belts, sergeant
alarms, and John Newsom, city trea-
surer. DIR. Willitts. a prominent physi.
clan, was attacked with fever to-day.
