THE NAME.

!. I wroto my name in the golden sand,
On the shore Of \ beautiful river;
Bat dark wave rolling along the strand
Soon swept it from sight forever.
From the faithless sand saw it fade,
Thsn turned to rock of granite,
Around whose base the waters played,
And carved the name upon it.
Though the foaming waves around it roar,
When the storm il on the river,
II still remains as in days Of yore,
Plain and bright ~ ever.
And thuson the shores of the river Time,
IAwriting many mortal;
Leaving his name in right or crime,
Ere entering 1t death portal.
And some are writing with careless hand
On the brink Of that rolling river;
Bat the next dark wave that sweeps the
strand,
Shall hide their names forever.
But now and then, in the molly throng,
One carves bis name on granite;
And tho waves Of time, with their current
strong,
Shall beat in vain upon it.
II is deeply cut, and wrought with care,
Twill remain undiMned forever.
Tho the honest hand that placed it there,
Nay have crossed that rolling river.

understand the combining
causes which have led to the
present political revolution
and endeavor to give each its
due share in the result. This
work Of analysis applies rather
ito the North, as the causes
which have arrayed the South
against a sectional party are
obvious enough-namely Fed
eral oppression and ATTEMPTED
negroes levelism. In the
North, we believe the question
of Civil Rights was hardly an
issue, either directly or indi-
rectly. Indeed, if that had
been the sole question, we fear
us much that Pnritanism would
have triumphed. But other
matters, more pertinent to that
section, overshadowed it, and
with the decline of Massachu>
setts' ascendency the abortion
must die.
Neither does the question of
finance and currency seem to
have been the leading cause
for the. great change. New
York and Pennsylvania, with
a hard money Democracy side
with Indiana and Ohio preech-
ing imitation. Evidently Fl.
nance has not come to the
frount yet as a pivotal issue
The popular majority were, no
doubt, affected to some extent
by memories Of last years
panic and dissatisfaction with
Radical legislation in the past
but plans for the future have
not yet crystalized into shape.
The same may be said of the
tariff, notwithstanding its thor
ough ventilation through the
Grange and the press. In
proof, we may site the agri>
cultural States of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas,
adheriDg to the high tariff
party while New York, project
ed Pennsylvania, and even
Massachusetts, elect Congress
sional majorities against that
party.
This comparative ignoring Of
u y
two such direct questions as
finance and tariff, bearing on
the pockets of the millions,
indicate the overpowering pres
ence Of some more potent and
pressing issue. What was that
issuea Nothing more ncr
less than the ineffable corrup>
ton which has fastened on
every department of govern
ment. Radicalism has died of
it's rottenness. The Northern
people determined to cleanse
the Washington stables. Such
seems to us the supreme issue
that overruled all others in
every section. 1t indicates an
awaking of the national sense
Of honesty, and will be follow
ed by important results in
other directions. Rid of the
glamour of Radicalism, the
North will see many other sub
jects in 9 better light.
Secondary and subsidiary to|
their determination to rebuke|
the regnant rottenness, was an
ignoring Of sectionalism. The
North could not be diverted

ATTY OF southern "OuCrageS.
They refused to shape theil
own politics any longer by the
supposed temper Of the South
or the fate of the negro. They
brushed aside Attorney Wil>
liams' cock-and-bull stories,
because they had resolved to
brush away Williams himself
and all such landaulet heroes.
They concluded that, whether
the South be loyal or disloyal,
the National Government was
unuttnrably corrupt, and need
ed a sweeping reformation.
Therefore, they ignored all
sectional appeals, like every>
thing else that stood in the
way of their purpose. Tues
days elections were not per-
haps SO much a rebuke of Fed
eral nsurpations in the South
as of the attempt to hide Raids
cal rottenness behind a cloud
of Ku-Klux. The fact is none
the less. gratifying, however,
that Northern politics have
risen above the dead level of
sectional hate, where it rested
so long.
In regard to centralism, we
doubt that the North has ever
realized its danger from the
progressive usurpations of late
years. Strong in its own
strength, it has had no fears
that the Washington junta
would even dare to attempt in
that section what has been
done here. Two years ago,
Massachusetts herself gave
evidence that open rebellion
would there follow a tithe of
the outrages in which Louisi>
ana Packard revels. This view
makes the North selfish as we'll
as strong in self-ccnidence.
Now that sectional animosity
has disappeared, we may look
for resumption Of sympathy,
and the manifestation of more
concern hereafter for the rights
of sister States.
Among minor causes, we
should perhaps class Grants
ill-disguised asperation for a
third term. Gradually the fact
that has dawned upon their
minds that to continue the Re-
publican party in Office, was to
give Grant another lease of
power. Certainly, that party
has no other aspirant who
could possibly pull it through,
and he could do so by dra~
gooming the South. The Ad~
ministration has SO adroitly
arranged matters that the Re-
publican party must take up
Grant or nobody. IF the Gen,
eral who saved the Union can>
not save the Republican party,
it is all over with them. But
the Northern people have con-
cluded to dispense with Grant
and his whole corrupt crew.
Their first supreme demand is
honest government. The gla-
mour Of military renown can
no more dazzle them than
Ku-Klux ghosts can scare.
Honesty in high places is what
they seek and will have. This
temper is auspicious for q per-
a n

that cannot be diverted by any
political clap-trap. All the
Democracy need do, to per>
petuate our free institutions,
and repair the breaches made
by Radicalism, is to present
men of nnquestionable integri-
ty for all offices up to the Pres
idency itself.
