1t is very evident that the st. Louis
Republican has not that confidence in
the usefulness and vivacity of its old
party which is professed by its contem-
poraries. 1t calls the Democratic party
a bauble which has "become the mere
plaything of its enemies" and adds !:
"Whenever it is about to sink out of
sight they lend it helping hand, lift
it TO the surface and cheer it up with
words of encouragement. Whenever
it seems to be making too much head
way against the stream, they adroitly
have Tammany round its neck and
sink 1T again to the requisite level.
Whether it sink or swim is q question
for them to decide. The recollection
of the Tammany frauds is one of the
livest parts ofthe party, and no amount
OF talk about Credit Mobilier matters
aud the salary grab can create an OBJ
livion of the thirty millions robbery
which Tammany is held to be response
BILE for"

1t has happened that two incidents
have occurred that tend to show what
became of the $12G0 check marked S.
c., which Ames, in one stage of the
controversy, said he had paid to Mr.
Colfax. About two months before his
death, Mr.. Ames admitted to General
Clinton B. Fisk, of st. Louis, with
whom he had long been in close busi-
ness relationship, that he believed the
check was paid to himself; that Dillon,
the cashier, was correct in his state
ment, and he further said that Mr..
Colfax had been greatly wronged in
the matter. In other words, according
to General Fisk's statement, which we
are authorized to use, Ames himself
was at last convinced the $1,000 check
was never seen or heard of by Mr..
Colfax. No one, therefore, can any
longer entertain thepreposterous charge
| when even its author had abandoned it;
and the admitted testimony of Mr..
Drew, who saw Ames draw a $1,000
check on the Odd of June, and pay the
money to stranger, receives confirm
alton from the statement of General
Fisk. Weshould scarcely have thought
this unfounded accusation deserving of
another notice, so wholly unworthy is
it of belief, had not these somewhat re-
markable incidents tended to throw
new light upon the whole transaction.
The honor of our public men, too, is
dear to the people. Mr.. Colfax has
been deeply wronged, and we believe
the country will rejoice to see his un-
tainted reputation saved from the NAL
ice of his enemies, and will do full
Justice to his eminent public services
and the unselfish devotion. with which
he has given his life to the support OF
pure Republicanism.

RaIIroad Grants.

The fossil convention at Columbus
had the effrontery to declare in its plat
form that the Democratic party had
always denounced and opposed gifts OF
lands to build railroads. The wind
that breathed upon those dry bones
must have been a lying spirit. The
first Gift of lands to railroad company
and the richest and most oppressive in
respect to the value of the lands and
the high prices the railroad corporations
put on them, was the grant to the H.
linois Central Railroad coporation.-
The father of the measure was Stephen
A. Douglass, and it was enacted by a
Democratic Congress. 1t was the pre-
cedent for all the land grants to rail-
roads. Not one of them had worse
features than this father of them all.
In other cases, notably in the two
railroads to the Pacific, it might be said
that the lands granted were inacces-
sible and worthless without the road.
This could not be said of the Illinois
lands, which were near to navigable
waters, and which, in the natural way
of settlement, would create basis to
build railroads on. The aggravating
part of it was that after the Democratic
party had for a generation refused rea-
sonable appropriations to improve nav
igable waters, and had subdued our
Ohio and Indiana delegations into CIV
ing private corporation the power to
levy an oppressive tribute on the navi-
CATION of the Ohio, on account of this
pretended sacred democratic principle,
it gave, in the lump, many millions OF
dollars in the richest of the public lands
to an inchoate railroad corporation.
This heavy burden upon the COM
merce of the Ohio River, which has
inflicted incalculable injury on Cincin-
natl, stands to this day monument of
that Democratic trick of principle,
and of the meek swallowing of it by
successive Democratic Representatives
and Senators from Ohio. And that
Douglas Democratic land grant to the
Illinois Central Railroad corporation
stands as q monument of the way they
allowed themselves, and their city, and
State to be duped.
Furthermore the Democratic Nation
al Convention that nominated Buch-
anan resolved in favor of building a
railroad to the Pacific. How did it
mean to do it? 1t had declared against
the power of the government to give
money to make internal Improvements.
1t had set a precedent by giving lands.
1t meant to give lands for this road

The Cincinnati Enquirer, which is
supposed to be as much responsible as
any other paper for the "stright-out"
Democratic movement at Columbus,
says:
"We do not think that the Demo-
cratic platform is as precise and ex-
plicit as it ought to be on the tariff ques-
tion. The Democracy are for making
as gradual an approach to the free trade
as the circumstances of the revenue
aud the conditions of the country will
admit, without injuring the one or
shocking the other. t would have
been more in unison with the senti-
ments of our organization and of the
people generally to make bolder and
more pronounced declaration"

REMEMBRANCE.

'Tis hope deferred that maketh
The heart faint, though its true,
And have felt its full meaning
Often, dear friend, for You,
You surely have not forgotten
Your promise to your friend,
That you would write to me often,
That friendship must not end.
I know You still must remember
The happy days We spent,
" hen oft we sLrayed in gladness,
In joys that summer lert,
Those halycon days OF =. inner
Have gone, as goes the rail-,
And though the days may be as bright;
Our youth comes moi again.
But life will bring its joy and grief,
Wherever we may go,
The days are not all gloomy, dark,
The sun must shine, you know.
Sometimes our hearts are sad, It's true,
We feel that all is loss.
That none will care whate'er We do.
To live were but cross.
But then be sure there's brighter days
viii come, and like ethe sun
Will chase away the clouds and rain,
And bid the brightness come,
So let Us do the best each day,
That we may know, the rest
We surely need not fear to trust
To Him that knoweth best.

MusIins, and How they are Made.


1t is frequently said that English and
French ,nuslins now produced by ma
chlnery rival in fineness OF texture and
beauty of finish those woven in the
East. But it is not true. A native wo-
man with her fingers and spindle alone
and a native man with his toes and
bamboo loom alone will spin thread
and finish piece of muslin which can
not, by the application of the most del
icate machinery, be produced outside
of India. There is one quality of Decca
muslin, for example, which is termed
"woven air." 1t is made only for
kings daughter. So short is the staple
of the raw material, and so brittle his
fibers, that it must be spun by wo-
man under twenty-five, and before the
dew has left the grass in the morning.
As substitute for natural moisture,
the evaporation OF water from shall
low pan is sometimes used, but the
quality of the work in that case is in
lSiiOA. <Aho yCtf itOot uCi-
icate and finest of fabrics, piece four
yards in length by one yard in width
weighing less than one ounce avoirdu-
pois often, it is exceedingly durable,
and will wash. Since the disappear
ance of many of the native rulers of
India, this "evening dew," as it is also
called, is not largely made; butas there
are those who will pay ten and twelve
dollars a yard for it, the art is not like
ly to be lost. The professional story
tellers of the East, swaying their bod
les to the cadences of their voice, will
tell you in rythnical Hindtstanee Of
the anger OF Aurungzebe with his
daughter because her arms could be
seen through the seven jahmas she had
on; and Of tho weaver who was banish-
ed from Decca because his COW, unable
from its tineness to see the piece of
Abrovan which was spread upon the
herbage, ate up six yards.
