POlIHTENESS All ARONKE.

The truly polite person is polite
! everywhere. Ho does not reserve
his good breeding for great occa-
sions, or put it on whom he puts
on his dress coat. At home, as we'll
us abroad, he PRACTICES the rules of
politenoss, which he has taken care
to render habitual.
Toward all the members Of ones
own family, ono should habitually
be governed by law of civilty not
less precise than those which gov
ern the intercourse of general So
ciety but modified by a degree of
tenderness mingled with respect,
which can not be claimed by COM
mon acquaintance.
TO your father you should show
q degree of respectful Difference, to
which no other person is entitled.
His opinions should be received
with submission, and his advice
with gratitude and attention. His
foibles, if perceived, should be con-
cealcd more carefully than your
own. His comfort and convenience
should be studied on every occasion
and your own should be chcorfuIly
,sacriticed to promote them, Your
Mother may perhaps be treated with
moro freedom, but with moro tender
ness. Happy is the mother to whom
her children render the umreservod
homage of the heart. Other rcla-
tions, as ulcles, aunts, brothers,
sisters, and cousins, claim attention
and respect in proportion to the
dignity and worth of their characters
or the nearness Of their relationship.
They should always receive prefer
encc over common acquaintance
in respect to visits, invitations, and
other attentions of tho same kind
This is the law Of nature and how
ever it's violation may be seemingly
passed over, the world never forgivcs
a man for sighting those connected
with him by ties of consanguini
ty.
The politcncss which should gov
crn the conduct Of married people
toward each other is ono of the
most important elements of conju
gal felicity. Men who lay aside
all the civility which they practiced
before marriage, MS soon as the nup
tial knot is tied, and substitute fol
it tho most unlimited freedom OF
behavior, will soon find that famili,
arity breeds contempt and leads to
dissension. A certain degree Of
respect is consistent with, and in.
deed essential to, q we'll regulated
affection, and a man should prove
by his attention to the laws of DO.
likeness in the presence Of his wife
that he understands the truth OF
the observation, Che who is O. gen.
tleman at all, is a gentleman ut all
times"

ARKANSAS.

1t looks as if Brooks may succeed in his
com d'etat in Selling the GovernoIship OF
Arkansas. That he has no more legal claim
to the Office than Kellogg had to the govern
orship of Louisiana is as plain as day. The
legislature, in Arkansas as well as in Louisi-
ana, is the only body that can legally canvass
and pass upon the election returns and pro-
nounce who is elected Governor, and in both
the case OF Kellogg and Brooks the decision
was against them, but both got Il corrupt
Judge to interfere and reverse the tecision of
the legislature. There was, in the lightning,
however, this difference: In Louiiana Kcl-
logg was the administration candidte, while
in Arkansas Brooks was the anti-aGinstra-
ton candidate. The case of Broos, there
fore, was hopeless, until within thtast few
months Gov Baxter had wcakenedtowardsI
the administration and Brooks suddnly flop
ped around and became its ardent apporter.
This he doubtless did designedly, nd now,
having seized the govcInorship all ousted
Baxter, he finds Grant his friend jut as Kel
logg found him, and in spite of Baxtes urgent
and pathetic appeals to the Presidet, Grant
makes the same plea as inthc case of luisiana
that, while he can interfere so far aso keep
the peace-that is proven, Baxter Inn re.
gaining possession of the Office by iol,,-he
cannot interfere with the decisions { the
courts, But Baxter is cunning. Nding
Grant lmpracticablc on one tack, he tri him
on another. He proposes to call togetr the
legislature to decide between him and boks,
and asks Grant to keep the peace untihen.
This Grant perforcc must consent to, I'd as
the legislature is all for Baxter, he wihave
an easy victory in that body. But vibrant
let him Gust Brooks by force after the tisla'
turc decides in his (Baxter's) favor?

VETOED!

Very much to the surprise of everybody
President Grant on Wednesday sent TO con
gress his veto of the senate bill for the issue
of $44,OO0,000 more greenbacks and OF
S46,0OO,OO0 more national bank currency
The veto message is short, but emphat
ically to the point The President thinks
there is room to doubt whether practically
the bin would have the effect OF initiating the
currency, but whether it has or not such would
be theoretically its effect and to that extent
its purpose demoralzing and vicious The
effect of diuting the present paper issue can
only be to drive more coin out of the country
and put off further the day of resumption.
There can be no substantial addition to the
currency of tina country until our own paper
is placed on par with gold. cat present"
saws MIR. Grant, "the duties on imports being
required in coin, creates IA limited demand for
gold and about enough to satisfy that de-
mand remains in the country" The rest is
exported, like any other article of commerce
We can never get back to sound currency
until we again bring our paper to par with
gold and silver, and thus take coin out of the
list as an article of commerce and make it a
part of the ordinary circulation; and until
that is done, there can be no real addition to
the currency.
Nothing can be sounder than these views
of the President They are indeed axloms
that no intelligent political economist dis.
putes any more than an axiom in Euclid.
But under the hullabalo that has been raised
at Washington for cheap and deprecated
currency, the President deserves all common
dation for his manlness IN taking firm
stand for honest redemption of the govern
ment's solemn promises to pay, in opposition
