The Monroe Enquirer says: Since
the notice in the Enquirer of the gold
found on Mr.. James McCollum's place,
four miles from here, some weeks ago,
several other pieces have been found
on the same field. Mr.. McCollum
showed rs the other day, one piece
weighing four and another weighing
twenty pennyweight, of very fine gold,
which had just been found. This is a
cultivated field, and for several ears
pieces Of gold have been picked up on
it by persons ct work, generally just
after heavy rains. There surely must
be rich vein of gold in the hill.

HIeldinE The Sabre Of HIS Father.
Fred Grant, like n good son, is
proud OF his father and of the many
substantial proofs that have been given
of his popularity in the shape of ele-
giant gifts. The girls were just little
bored by his incessant mention of his
father, and when Fred spoke of q
magnificent sword, and actually went
to his room and reappeared with his
sword strapped at his side, young
lady few to the piano and commenced
singing the song from LA Grande

Pere." OF course Fred was much cha
grined, and left the room. while the
girls joined in the chorus. -.Sprinyfeld

THE DEHoCnACY NURSES no RE


IL
First among the fruits Of victory are
foods Of advice for the Democracy
advice unsolicited-advice from frank
foes--frum fresh friends-from every
body. Most dogmatic among these
self-constituted mentors, are some
whose advice 20 the Democracy, but a
little while ago, was that 1t should COM
NIT hari-kari at the behest of the Great
Tycoon, in the established Japanese
style. By what criterion we may
Judge whether theadviee of such ccun-
sellers be more safe ans wise now than
It was then, we do not know. But we
must bear our honors meekly, and one
fact ought to be understood of allmen,
and proclaimed aloft--the Democracy
harbors no revengesl It's advent
means the overthrow Of hate, the
restoration Of perfect peace. 1t win
not turn on Radicalism the engines of
oppression Constructed by that party,
1t will brush them all away, restoring
that impariaiity and perfect equality
which Rsdicalism destroyed on the very
plea Of equality. As we have seen in
the State, SO In the nation, there will
be no attempt to avenge past disfran-
chisement by connter-disfranchisement,
and no attempt to overawe with force
and fraud any Republican States that
may remain after 1876. The Democ-
racy is a4aational party, whileits prede-
cessor has been a sectional one. We
hope this is understood now, when Hi
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and even Massachusetts vote side
byside with Texas, Louisiana, Alabama,
Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Looking to the interests of all, and
seeking to reconcile capital and labor,
manufactures and agriculture, as they
must all contribute their due share to
the general good, in any well regulated
autonomy. the Democracy cannot stoop
to petty spites or revenges for the past.
Its policy viii necessarily be as broad
as the States supporting it-wise, mag
unanimous, and, In the best sense of the
word, national. Its victory does not
mean victory of the South or of the
West over the East, but a return to
the equilibrium between them which
has been disturbed so long. 1t means
the genuine restoration of the Union.
For these reasons, we may anticipate
from the newly-elected party a course
characterized by prudence. modera-
ton, magnanimity, and justice be-
tween the several sections. The sur
misses of Radical politicians at Wash
ington, concerning the coming Demo
cratic House, are based on the fallacy
that the peoples determination to up
root rottenness has failed, and that
they have only elected a new set of
rogues. The expectation that Dem
ocratic House will seat their own can
didates, from every contested district,
supposes that they viii initiate Rad
icalism. This is exactly what they will
most studiously avoid, endeavoring to
present before the country as great a
contrast as possible 20 the principles
and practices of Radicalism. The day
Of petty partisanship has happily
passed. In the future now dawning,
we may look for repetition of the
glorious past, when broad, comprehend
sive craftsmanship presided over the
destinies of a growing and prosperous

EVEN Wilson kicks at him. While
bsing interviewed the day after the
election, the Vice President remarked:
"Well, Butler is buried beneath the
ruins. He has been killed by being
too ambitious of power. He wanted to
have his own way, and did have it to
such an extent that the people of all
parties grew disguised and determined
to give him a season Of rest. Butler
has indeed gone under. His machina-
tions are over. He has run the Presi-
dent, giving very lad advice to the Elk
ecusive, and by political intrigue foist-
ing men into Office who were eminently
unfit for the positions they occupy,
simply to reward the men whom he had
found useful or to give power TO men
whom he hoped to use. Amid the gen.
eral gloom of defeat there shoot up
scintiIlations of Joy that the reign of
one man-too much politician and too
little statesman-is over"

ACCORDING to the affidavit of James
McNulty, a private in Company B, 3rd
United States Infantry, the Infamous
Lieut.. Hodgson told his soldiers guard
ing the citizen prisoners in Lincoln
parish, La, that if any offered them
money to get away, they should take
the money and knock the prisoner
down. He further told them to ''take
all they could get and he would uphold
them" This was a direct invitation
for the soldiers to hold out false hopes
to the prisoners with the view of get
ting their money. Alas for the uni
form Of the old regular army, to what
base uses has it come at last

To VIM. Wallace the Democrats are
largely indebted for their success in
this county. He worked like a Trojan
on the colored element, with glorious
results. The negroes are deserving
the Radical party by platoons. Some

CHARLES p. THOMPSON, the man
who has made himself immortal by
defeating Butler, seems to be most
desirable kind of man to have in
Congress. He made speech at ju-
bilation meeting in Gloucester on
Wednesday night, and in it uttered
these Enthusiastically sound ideas:
/ stand now as no partisan. l am
not the servant Of the Democratic
party; l am not the servant Of the Re
publican party. l shall advocate those
measures, andonly those measures, that
/ believe to be for the common good.
shall never advocate principle upon
party grounds. shall be unworthy of
the confidence that has been placed in
me, if 1 understand what the Dem
ocratic party meant when they put me
in nomination, which was that / should
carry out those principles which / be-
ieve to be right-that / should serve
my country first, and by serving my
country l know l can best serve my
party. In this canvass there are some
important questions One of them is
the financial question. l know that
my Republican friends who voted for
me did so because l was sound upon
that question. You may ask me if /
am in favor of the colorea man. an
swer, Yes, / am In favor of the white
man and the colored man. / believe

THE Boston Post, in a leading article
on the Democratic position, says:
Owing what It does to the Liberal
Republicans in Massachusetts,, this is
the proper time to make the acknowl-
edgment that shall place the Demo
cratic party in its true light. The SEN
timent of independence so distinctly
announced by Mr.. Thompson has been
as unequivecally declared by Tarbox
and Warren, Chaplin and Banks; and
the Democrats of Massachusetts ac-
cepted it in all its length and breadth,
and made It sincerely their own. The
bipartisan feeling by which alone the
result of the elections receives ITS true
Interpretation is also generously ac-
knowledged by the Democratic leaders
and statesmen in other parts of the
Union.
