The defeat of the GRANT party in

The defeat of the GRANT party in
VERMONT is really more gratifying to
Democrats than any victory we
have won during the presant year.
For VERMONT was the Radical Naza-
feth out of which, it was believed,
nothing good could possibly come.
Not only was POLAND, the Credit Mo-
bilier white. washer and champion of
the press gag law. vary badly beaten.
but the Democratic State ticket came
very near being successful. The Dem
ocrats have elected fifty-six members
OF the house, while they had only
twenty-five last year, and we are now
told that at least fifty of the so-called
Republicans elected have more SYM
pathy for the Democrats than for the
GRANTEES. All the principal towns,
including Montpelier. Rutland, Bur-
lington, Mortified, Bellows Falls,
bradford, Lyndon, Brandon, and
Swanton, which contain the most in
telligence, ifnot the greatest number
of votes, have elected Democrats.
VERMONT was the chief Radical sinner
needing repentance. Now that she
has manifested a desire to repent and
do better, should we not rejoice over
her at least as much as we have over
those that needed no repentance ? Let
US give the Green Mountain State
hearty greeting She has rendered
her verdict against the corrupt Ad-
ministration, and by the time 1876
comes round she may be so far re-
formed as to join the old Hard-Money
party, and help the Democracy in its
efforts to restore a simple, wise, and
efficient Federal Governments World.

THIS is the way in which the Radi-
Gals have exhibited their love for the
the poor negroes. The prayers of the
pluDdered fellows should be, ''save us
from our friends"
''The failure of the National Freed
mems Savings bank has cost the col
ored people heavily. They lose in
Nashville $85 600; in Augusta, $780,
600, and in Richmond over 100000,
in sums ranging from dollar 10 sew
eral hundred. These are the EARNINGS
of hard working negroes during the
past two or three years, and numerous
pitiable cases of personal suffering in
these cities arc described, which may
be taken as fair samples of the ruin
which the failure of this bank and its
branches has wrought. OF all the
crimes perpetrated by the District of
Columbia ring, none can excel this
one in meanness and treachery. The
blow has fallen upon the innocent and
poor, and they haye no means of re-
dress.

ruE FRIcE OF a eLAss or vArEn.


Near the close Of a long, hot summer day,
Away worn traveller, meath southern skies,
Saw-ss he plodded on bis weary way
The tall steepies of a qniet village rise.
1t seemed gem nesting among the hills.
with It's quaint old fashioned roofs and gables
Its smooth flower patched yards. its dusty mills
And near the open doors, the white spread
tables.
Buesnddeniy he stopped-like one dazed,-
Then lifted latch and sauntered in,
As though If on those goodly sights he gazed'
'Twere surely not a fault or heavy sim
To those who sat and saw within the door.
He seemed a amendicant or Lazarone;
And the good master thought the matter o'er.
Aud qneried if he bid him not begone.
But faint something in his manner babe
Them hear what this traVel-stained m; n
should say.
He spoke: III glass of water had.
1 then would go my dreary, lonely way"
So small boon the traveller craved,
None but a boor could speak him nay;
And yet such vile scorners had he brayed
Fun many time that hot and weary day.
A daughter of the host-so blithe and fair
Springing away with Hghtsome tread,
To the pure erystal.fount did soon repair.
And then returning. to the stranger said:
.sWeary pilgrim, thirsty and trayel-stained.
In God's name take this freely offered glass;
And when thy long journeys end is gained,
Forget thee not the little village LASS
His hot parched lips embraced the cup,
lie quickly drained the fun goblet dry;
God bless thee maiden fair'' then looking up,
MY heartfelt thanks are due to Him on high.''
With that he journeyed on his dusty way,
And soon was gone from sight, and gone from
mind;
But many sweltering sunny day,
He sought another fair and gentle maid TO find.
This man, so poor, became so rich and great
In after years, that his was boundless wealth;
But still he lived as one with no estate.
And labored on with parsimonious stealt tn.
But soon the busy place knew him no more;
His boarded wealth, and he himself was gone
He quickly sought well-remembered shore
And reached at last, dewy mornings
dawn
The little town quaint of years ago.
Where he. a weary traveller strayed,
With weak, unsteady tread, and footsteps slow.
And his burning, fiery thirst allayed
And on the morrow he gave out the word,
That all within the goodly town might hear,
How nightly within him stirred
The wish, to give them water pure and clear,
So the cunning workmen soon were called,
And the giant aqueduct was planned;
And o'er its fine arches, high and walled,
The cooling water came at his command.
When all was done a free. fair gifthe made.
of this to all the people of the town;
To use it none were e'er to be afraid
From high grandee. or loyal noble down.
Then sought he her whose girlhood ease and
grace,
Had ripened into woman brave and free,
And said: II honor thus thy native place.
For the pure love bear my God-and thee.'
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1874-10-01

THEY are likely to have some fine
legal quibbling in a murder case at
Cincinnati. A deaf mute recently
murdered a policeman in cold blood,
and it is doubtful if he can ever be
brought to trial, as the thirty-first sec
ton of the Ohio crimes AT provides
that s'if any person indicted for any
offense whatever, on being arraigned
on such indictment, shall stand mute,
jury shall forthwith be impanneled
to try and say whether such a person
stands obstinately y mute and on purpose
or by the act of God and if they return
their verdict that such person stands
mute by the act of God, the Court
shall remand the prisoner to Jail, and
shall not proceed against him or her
until he or she shall have recovered
thercfrom." The balance of the sec
ton provides for an entry of s'not
guilty." and trial in case the jury find
a pretended muteness. This is one
of the provisions of the old English
Common law, engrafted upon the
Ohio Criminal Code. We believe the
same applies in Pennsylvania. The
Judge, presiding at the trial of a case
of the kind, might cut the Gordian
knot by ruling that the prisoners
muteness was neither from the act of
God or the result of contumacy, and
so order the trial to proceed.-Cochoc-
ton Democrat.

room, in the case that am using for
illustration. was floored, and had a
window containing six eight by ten
panes Of glass In the east wall. Below
the window was q plain wood table,
not too much secured to preserve the
grain of the wood, and upon it heap
of dried fish. A plate of barley cakes
not quito as tough as pine chips
| 1buckwheat cakes as bad have been
seen)--a bottle of liqnor which looked
as If it would be good stuff to load a
bombshell with-a saucer of grease
believed to go by an Icelandic name
which, if freely rendered into English
would be butter-and in striking con-
trast with all the rest, a mug that
would hold three pints. filed with
milk. The mug was clean and the
milk was good. This apartment boast-
ed of ornamental furniture, which was
in the form of four wooden chests,
large, light in color, and adorned with
paintings of vines, showing abundant
green leaves. 1t was quite clear that
these gay chests were not for travel
ing purposes, except in cases of emil
grafton that there is little encourage
ment TO contemplate. They are such
articles as baggage smashers would
rejoice over. While we enjoyed the
milk aud contemplated tt e dried fish
and the butter and bread and bottle,
the proprietor, who was, we are in
formed, a very well-to-do young man,
sat on box, with his everlasting Ice
landic slippers ofraw hide patting the
floor, towering shock of neglected
hair, and dirty nose. The Icelandic
luxury that seems most popular among
the men is snuff
The new Constitution will not do
much for IceIand's prosperity. In
deed, it is more likely to produce a
troublesome moral agitation than
material Development. The Danes
are not likely to allow the Icelanders
the reality of home rule, while the
passion for larger liberty that the
proclamation Of the Constitution must
produce is not in the nature of an
overwhelming anxiety for the peace
and perfect quiet. So Iceland is in
the way of having her long calm dis
tRrbed without assurances that the
happiest consequences will ensae.-
Still something of agitation will be
helpful rather than hurtful to her, for
there is no stronger definition of
death than everlasting stagn alton.

ENOUGH OF POLITICS.

Albert j. Brown, ofMississippi. was
brigadier- general of militia at nineteen
in the Legislature at twenty-five, and
in Congress at tWenty-six. He was
Circuit Judge at tWenty-eight, Cover
nor at thirty, and was afterwards SEN
ator. lie was never defeated when a
candidate for Office. In recent letter
Mr.. Brown says that it would have
been better for him if he had followed
the occupation of his father, which
was that of farmer. His greatest
regret is that he ever made a political
speech or held an Office. He adds,
''to be blacksmith, carpenter or an
artisan of any sort is no discredit to
any man. Better that than be a jack
legged lawyer, quack doctor, coun-
ter hopper, or worse still, wretched
seeker after Office"

In the north western corner of the
Territory of Wyoming, says an ex-
change, is located one of the most
beautiful lakes on this continent, if
not in the world. Adjacent to it are
sources of four majestic rivers-the
Yellowstone, flowing into the Missou-
ri. at distance of 1,300 miles; the
Missouri itself, which finds its way 10
the Gulf through the Father of Wa
ters the Columbia. which leads to the
Pacific, and the Colorado, which, pas
sing through the most remarkable
canyon in the world, discharges its
waters into tho Gulf of California.
Grouped around this lake, and in the
midst of this water shed, is perhaps
the grandest display of cataracts, hot
springs, geysers, mud volcanoes, and
natural architectural beauties any
whore to be found on the face of the
globe.
