FALSE CHARGES.

The Radicals of Michigan, in recent con-
vention, have taken occasion to reiteratc
the charges, which have become hackney
ed, and which have always been false, that
the Democrats dragged the country into
civil war.
Now we desire to PROFOUND few queS-
tons, which, lest they should not be re-
piled to, we will also answer. What was
the first State that declared she
would withdraw from the Union
if certain matters allowed by the Con-
stitution were not changed to suit her
ideas? Massachusetts,, the mother and
propagation of RadicaliSm. WhowaS the
first man to insult the ''old flag by call
ing it "a Haunting lie?" HoRACEGREELEY
in his organ, then the leading Radical
one in the Union, the New York Tri-
bune. Who was the first to to declare
the Constitution of The Greatest Gov
eminent the world ever saw II "league
with death and a covenant with hell?'
Ditto, ditto. Who WAS the first person
to declare war? Hon. W. II. SEWARD, an
other apostle of Radicalism, when he,
many years ago, proclaimed an ''irrc-
pressible conflict between the North
and the South. No,C who dragged the
country into civil war? We will let
our Republican friends answer that.

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

= 1t has been preached, and with show
ofgood reason, that the next Presidential
election will have to be decided in Con-
grcss.
The army of office holders, and it is
vast. will be unanimous in supporting
Mr.. GRANT for third term. This Is
natural, for they must keep II sharp look
out for their bread and butter. A great
faction OF the Radical party will
violently oppose him, as is shown by the
recent Conventions in Pennsylvania and
Kansas. The Democrats and ConServa-
tives of the country, who are heartily sick
and tired OF the misrule which has so
long predominated, will unite cordially
upon some honest man like Governor
ALLEN, of Ohio.
Thus there will be, in all probability,
three candidates in the field, each sup
ported by a numerous body of friends.
Under these circumstances, it certainly is
the duty of all men opposed to Radical
ism to see that the majority in the next
House of Representatives is of the right
stamp. This is another cogent reason why
we should be up and doing.

ATelescopic View Of the Moon.

Bv means of good telescope a very
distinct view may be obtained of the
moon. With power of 1000 we are,
as it were, brought to within 239 miles
of its surface, and on very favorable
occasions a power even higher than
this has been applied. With the highest
power, however, vet employed, no trace
of any inhabitants has been discovered,
though any large town must have been
seen, did such exist on the visible side.
Even to the naked eye the moon presents
the appearance of rugged and uneven
surface, and telescope observation con-
firms this opinion. We find that in many
parts of its surface very high mountains
exist. and the elevation Of many of these
have been measured by observing
the shadows cast by them when the sun
shines obliquely. Atthe time of full moon
these shadows, that have hitherto been so
conspicuous, disappear, as the sun then
shines vertically upon Them Very ac-
curate maps have now been drawn of the
moons surface on large scale, and the
principal mountains have received names,
usually those of celebrated astronomers.
One peak, named Newton, is found to
have an elevation of nearly 24,OO0 feet,
and several others are very lofty.

A CONTEMPORARY offers few words OF
advice to persons contemplating suicide.
In the first place-don't. In the second
place, if you insist upon it, take yourself
off with as little display and as much re-
gard for other peoples feelings as posi-
Bile. Don't write cruel or mawkish let
tiers which can only wiring the hearts OF
those YOU leave behind you. Remember
that it is not at all an honorable
or heroic thing to take your own life,
and that while it may require
certain degree of animal courage, it is
courage of the baser sort. Dismiss from
your mind all anticipation OF the sensa-
ton YOUR exit is to create and the talk
there will be about il in the newspapers.
You will not be here to witness the COM
motion you make, if there is any, and IN
the place where you stand an excellent
chance of going there are no newspapers,
or if there are any, there is a Poland law
perpetually in force. If you persist IN
going about, tired Of life and
complaining that nobody loves
YOU, YOUR best way of managing the final
catastrophe will he to make it appear
that somebody got desperate at your
nonsense and drowned you in selt-de-
Tense, or disposed of you in some way
with any convenient fre-arm. If you
are sincere in your wish to ford the Styx,
this will accomplish your purpose, and
the effect on the public mind will be
much healthier than if you had paid
cpistolary farewells to all the world and
shnffled off after the stereOtyped fashion.

BRIGHAM,s TROUBLES.

Who is sufficiently hsrd-hearted not to
sympathize with our esteemed friend
BRIGHAM You've in his present matri-
monial difficulties? ANN ELIZA, his
last and would be dearest, wife, has sued
for divorce and demands n settlement
upon her from BRIGHAMs estate, OF $lOO
a month. BRIGHAM objects. He says
that in the first place it was
only a celestial marriage" and he doesn't
feel ut all inclined to enter into such II
substantially terrestrial proceeding, as
giving her that amount of hard cash.
Moreover he has quite large family;
numbering sixty-three persons, depend
ent upon his means for support. Pos
itively it would be cruel for man who
has presented that number of fellow
citizens to his country, to be made suffer.
Ann Eliza ought to be more consider

THE MISSOURI DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic party ofthis State has
also been assembled in Convention to
make nominations for the fall elections.
Their platform is, in the main, similar to
that of the party in other States, and, in
brief, arraigns the Republican party for
its many misdccds; dcnounccs the Pom
AND gag bill and the civil rights bill;
favors education for all classes and races,
but wishes the latter educated separately;
opposes national interference in State
matters, and especially denounces it as it
has been practiccd in South Carolina and
Louisiana. The act Of Congress of March
Is, 1869, for paying the $40 bonds in
coin instead of grcenbaCks. is denounced.
and the abolition of the present National
bank system, and payment of customs
duties in greenbackS advocated. Corpo-
rate monopolies and cxactions are op-
posed, and tariff for revenue only is
wanted. The resolutions conclude with
a declaration that men Of honesty and
capacity only should be entrusted with
official responsibilities, and pledge the
party to support only such.

THE progress of Bcssemer steel manu-
facture in this country is very favorable,
as mechanical experience, better materi-
ais and other advantages are secured. In
1868 an output of 500 tons of ingots per
month was the extent at the best works.
In 1870 this had reached to LOO tons.
In February, 1874, the Troy work
made fifty heats in twenty-four hours,
yielding POI tons of ingots-the most re-
markable run on record The week end
ing April 4, they made 1875 heats, yielding
972 tons of ingots-the largest week 5
work. In January they made 1899 tons
of ingots, and in April, the North Chica-
go works made 1926 tons-which is the
largest months work.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

A majority OF the committee of the
House Of Representatives to whom was
referred the petition of the taxpayers of
South Carolina, have reported against
the prayer of the petition, and recon-
mended that it be denied. A Washing
ton letter says:
Messrs. Tremaine and White, Repub.
lican members of the subcommittee APP
pointed by the House Judiciary Commit
tee to examine the case of South Caro-
lima, have reported adversely to the Pc
tition of the taxpayers. Mr.. Eldridge
will make minority report. The ma
jority report does not deny that gross
abuses exist, but it rejects the right of
Congress to intervene, and assumes that
matters in South Carolina will right
themselves il let alone.
Yes, Time rights most wrongs, but in
many cases the remedy is too slow to be
of any avail to the victims. Time also
does other things besides shifting the
evil-doer: it shows some remarkable
changes in the views Of political parti-
sans, who shift nimbly as the circum-
stances Of the hour require. 1t is not
but two or three years since the Republi-
can party was for putting the Federal
spoon into every mans dish. 1t was de-
sirous Of regulating and reconstructing
States, not by constitutional au-
thority, which it scorned, but by
the strong arm. 1t not only desired
