Current Notes.

The Rochester Democrat thought there
would be some fearful defect discovered in the
New York Republican ticket, but was not pre-
pared for the horrible charge that the men
composing it are not evenly distributed over
the surf ce OF the State! 1t seems the con-
veniion did not know how t. make nomina-
tions They ought to have selected cand-
dates at even distances all around the edge
of the state and o. e from the middle.
The last charge against Grant may be
found in the Sun-that he was deeply inter-
ested in the abduction of Charles A. Dana.
Perhaps, however, Grant meant well enough.
He might have wanted to get Mr.. Dana in
Washington in order to oblige him to take an
office.
Power may do much to ease the working
out OF the result; it may do much towards re-
straining that senseless contagion of distrust
which is often worse than the cslamities APP
pretended it may do much by so managing its
ordinary business as to help the natural Efforts
OF the system in the process of recuperation:
but 1t may also do infinite mischief if it tam
per' merely. without looking to the real end.
Which Is the restoration Of health, and not
the alienation OF symptoms. Its one desire,
lts one effort, its one resolve should be not
paillation, but cure.-[N. Y. Post.
General Judson Fitzpatrick, ye whilom Lib
erals, now appears as the master of a o. ance.
The latest advices from all sol rces convey the
impression that there is net Liberal or a
Democrat in the whole land whose occupation
is other than that of an agriculturalist. The
unfortunate part, however, is that the dis
covery comes rather late.
A man hung himself lately in Cincinnati.
That is very prosy statement, but the
The Portland daily press., 1873-10-03

Gazette makes eloquence and poetry of it in
the manner following: "Alone and sently-so
silently that the officer reading in an adoin-
ing room heard nothing of it-this unhappy
man, by the slow aud painful process of
strangulation, stopped The wild current of a
wasted, useless life.''
That worthy body of warriors, the Arkansas
(pron ounced the last syllable ''saw'') militia,
has been disbanded by Governor Eaxter. Now
let these pious men SO home, beat their
swords into plough-shares, and enjoy a
practical realization Of Bakers Saints
Rest
The st. Louis Globe thinks the indications
are that Senator Casserly will be reelected to
his seat in the United States Senate from
California, notwithstanding the great popu
larity which Governor Booth is supposed to
have.
The nondescripts of Minnesota call them
selves the "Blue Mass Party" because they
think they're going to clean out the Reppbli-
cans. But the Republicans maintain their
excellent health, and will be apt to throw
blue mass or any other physic to the dogs.
'Faith aud Hope" observes the Toledo
Blade, '.are commercial virtues" True; but
Faith and Hope have been so badly abus
lately that many an unfortunate wretch will
have to rely upon Charity.

DisnelIina His Gloom.

Abroken-hearted young thing writes
to a weekly paper as follows:
"About three years ago l became
acquainted with young gentleman /;
and. although he never paid me any
particular attentions he would often
accompany me to aud from church,
etc. But lately I noticed a great
change In him. He avoids me as much
IA possible, and starts If | address him.
Can he have ceased to love me ?-for l
know he did, though lie never said 30.
If | thought he had, 1t would break my
heart" Perhaps we ought not to In
terfere,in this matter; but, as we know
exactly what should be done with the
young man. we feel as If we ought to
speak ont. Do not attempt to reason
with him, or cajole him, or paclfy him.
The next time he calls take a monkey
wrench, fasten 1t securely upon his
nose, lead him off to the dining-room,
and ask HIM what he means. II he
won't answer, twist the wrench three
or four times, aud butt his head up
against the stove or the mantle piece
until his gloom is dispelled. IL he
says he has ceased to love you, let
your fingers daily with his ringlets
lovingly for q few minutes, and then
suddenly lift out a couple Of handfnls
and have an Irlshman at hand to come
in and sit on him awhile and knock
out his teeth and jump up and down
| on him and be sociablc. Then let him
90. and commence your arrangements
to rope in u fresh man. You cannot
afford TO waste your young life upon
such a wretch rs this and where heart
will not throb to heart or soul respond
to soul. the best thing to do Is to
confuse the $ at once.

Lessons Of the October EIections-Ef-
feet Of the Salary Grab.

from tho Cleveland Herald (Rep.)]
We said-in speaking Of the lessons
Of election-that people forget every
thing and learn nothing /; that while
elections teach lessons, nobody Will
become the wiser for such lessons. On
that subject the New York Tribune has
a very sensible article, Inspired by the
lessons taught by the October cleo
tions. The Tribune thinks that the
party In power gathers wisdom, for a
short time, from the election lessons,
but even with that party the lessons
make but temporary impression. We
trust, in the present instance, the
party In power will learn a lesson or
wisdom, and even II such wisdom have
but temporary sojourn In the breasts
OF the party managers, such short stay
will be better than 10 stay. The Re-
publican party has not been careful
enough Of It's reputation. It has wax
ed fat and kicked, and In Ohio 1t has
kicked against the pricks. We might
90 into a dissertation upon the causes
Of the Republican setback In Ohio
for we are not disposed to call 1t q de-
feat-but knowing how transitory el-
ection lessons are, We are not disposed
to waste breath In a thankless effort.
But one cause. and we believe the
cause moro potent than all other
causes combined, was the thing known
as the "alary grab" We do not
rank the President who signed the
grab law with the Congressman who
enacted that law /; but any man who
knows Ohio sentiment IS to that law
knows that had President Grant Sign
ed that bill previous to the sitting Of
the National Convention that nomin.
ated him he could not have received
the votes Of the Ohio delegation. And
We have no doubt had President Grant
signed that bill after his nomination
and before the Presidential election
day, he would have lost the electoral
vote Of Ohio. Ten times enough good
Republicans to have made the election
a Republican victory stayed away
from the polls at u late election, dis
gusted that the party was In any meas
ure responsible for that law.

Mr.. Patton, who drives Sweeney's

dropped In last night to give us SOME
items from the new camp. lie says
the town Is growing rapidly, and PEG.
pie are gathering In from all directions.
Matters in general begin to e quite
a lively aspect. As showing the esteem
In which town property Il held, lot
jumping Is just now in order. A large
number Of lots have been jumped, and
those who own unimproved lots are
compelled to sleep upon them In, order
to retain possession. This state OF
affairs may lie accepted us pretty good
evidence that Cherry Creek Is looked
upon as the coming place. The mines
are said to'bc improving most satisfac-
toriIy, In exact ratio with the amount
of labor performed. There are a great
many Eurekans In the Cherry Creek
country, and most Of them think eX-
tremely well of the prospects. Swee.
