Clap-Trap.

FROM tue Ottumwa Democrat
Among other dangers to which the new
party is exposed, is that of clap trap
There are always set of fellows who at
tach themselves to any apparently success
full party who make it their business to in
vent clap-trap. The Republican party was
inflicted with this class to a great degree and
it is to them that the party was indebted
for such canting phrases as the best gov
ernment the world ever saw, loyal cop
perhead,' that dear old flag &c, &c
Now this class of clap-trap inventors
turns up in tie new patty, and we bear of
'Hayseed, The Plow holders Ticket.
The Farmers party, and all such non
sense.
Now stuff like this cannot be endured
by men of brains. The dose is too nause,
ating ''Haysecd" is good in its place,
which is in the ground The pillow hold
ers' are very worthy class of commu
nifty but they do not constitute all of it
while if we believed the new party to be
exclusively. farmer party, we woulC
spit upon its platform and denounce it il
every respect.
The new party is not farmers party
exclusively, neither is it mechanic
party! 1t is founded upon principle,
which, if carried out, will give equal an,
exact justice to all classes, without regar,
to occupations, religion or color. and h
who attempts to pervert the marty to hi
own selfish purposes by raising clap ira
cries, or uttering catch penny phrases, i
! no true friend to anti monopoly or tn
principles npon which the new party i
founded.

THEIR REPUTATION is ESTABLISHED.
Thousands OF Testimonials have been received,
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles in curing cases of long standing, many OF
them considered hopeless.
THERE is No RISK IN TAKING THEM.
They contain nothing injurious, and. therefore
cause none OF the lingering diseases so often the
result OF the many nostrums of the day. Physicians
recommended them as superior to Quinine or any
other known remedy, for they leave the system in
healthy ate and the patient beyond the probable
ity OF a relapse.

N. PIGEON, whose speech at Nice we published on
Wednesday is likely to get into serious trouble
through that indiscretol. It is proposed to expel
him from the Assembly for his alleged dsloya utter
ances. He has written an unsatisfactory explana-
tion, in which he merely bames the newspapers
which printed his post-prandial eloquence Tho
interest in relation to the status of Nice and Savoy
as provinces Of France, is further heightened by n
question Of veracity between The london Times and
the King Of Italy in reference to the same matter
An article recently published in that paper stated
that on the occasion of King Victor Emanuels visit
to Berlin. Prince Bismarck suggested to him the
propnety OF repossessng himself of the Province of
Savoy. Tho Italian Embassy in London gives n
categorical denial to tho story. There are in fact
several improbabilites in it, There ia no reason at
TINS moment why Prussia should wish TO embrol
France and Italy. In the case of another war
savoy might servo an excellent purpose TO seduco
tho Italian King withal and il would be useless to

leaders have lost their heads and the party
has gone wild, while their opponents, QUICK 10
feel the popular pulse and ready to make
omond. for mistakes, have shifted their course TO
the changed wind, and regained popular con-
fidence almost before the echoes of the reveiry
of the Democrats in the conquered camps had
died. Time after time has this been repeated.
II is the simple, brief history of all the po-
litical changes of the period. The reaction
that was coming never came, for the reason
that victory demoraized the Democrats ana
defeat chastened and made wise their oppO-
nents.
The consciousness Of this state of facts, and
n certain timidity lest it may be repeated, are
very readily detected in the addresses OF the
more thoughtful and discreet at last nights
gathering. Ex-Gov. Randolph of New-Jersey,
in bis letter of reply to the invitation to be
present, reminded them of Mr.. Greeleys re-
mark that Gen. Grant did not owe his hrst
election to the Presidency half so much TO
Republican strength as he did to Democratic
blindness and approved it as just and true.
Thousands OF Democrats who could not unuer-
stand it then, appreciate its force to-day.
There have been victories in New-iamp5hire
and Connecticut, and these gentlemen nave
the right to rejoice over them. But they
should remember-and experience has perhaps
taught them to remember-tha success brings
great responsibilities. They have not won
their victories alone. They have succeeded
because great numbers of honest citizens are
dsgusted with the party in power and have
no course open but to act with the Democrats.
They want change and have so voted. IL IS
an experiment; that is ALL The Manhattan
Club and the Democratic party will make an
other great mistake if they do not so consider
it. The party is on trial IN the two
States it has carried. 1t may act
discrectly and hold the position 1t
has gained or it can very easily frittcr away
its advantage by assuming that the people
have recalled it to power, and treating what
il has been intrusted with as the spOils of par
tisan success. 1t is mach more important from
a merely partisan point of view that
the party, flushed with these small successes,
90 forward carefully and prudently, than that
they should exchange congratulations and
manufacture enthusiasm over what has been
gained
New-York tribune., 1874-05-08
DEMOCRATIC REJOICINGS.

The gentlemen of the Manhattan Club at
their "Reunon" last night, congratulated
themselves with enthusiastic fervor upon the
prospect which the recent victories in New
Hampshire and Connecticut open to the Demo-
cratic party of a speedy return to power. In
these congratulations some of the distinguished
guests Joined heartily, and there was what
might be called "an era of good feeling.n The
particular object of the gathering-if there was
any above that of congratulation and rejoicing
didnot appear from the speeches. There was an
undertone of anxiety, however in the ad-
dresses which is somewhat significant of the
wisdom that comes of adversely; recognition
of the responsibility which success brings with
it that has not hitherto characterized Demo
cratic rejoicings. SO much has certainly been
gained by the experiences of the past fifteen
years of recurring disaster and defeat.
The history of these fifteen years is not
lacking in just such incidents or accidents as
were made the occasion Of mutual cOngratu-
lat0n at the Manhattan Club last night. More
than oncel the Democratic party has been in
spired with what seemed to be the
tokens of certain victory in the near
future. More than once have they made
desperate struggles and rescued from their
opponents Congressional districts and States
enough to give what to the hopeful natures
of its leaders, seemed the certain signs of the
great reaction, the rehuent wave that was to
restore them to power. Each time the party

is, therefore, some reason to hope that this
important measure will eventually receive the
serious consideration of Congress. So far
however, Senators who think more OF party
spoils than they do Of the commercial interests
of the country, have fought shy of everything
that looks like an attempt to deliver commerce
from the grip of official plunderers. Whatever

The resignation of District ct-Attorney Rod
man of Brooklyn will not surprise those who
knew of his physical infrmity, and were aware
that he accepted the Office with great reluc-
tance on the removal of Mr.. Britton. Gov.
Dix, with whom the appointment of sue
cessor lies, is doubtless familiar with the con-
dition of Brooklyn affairs, and knows the need
of an honest, conscientious, and fearless man
in the vacant place.
