Nursing Troubles.

The true remedy for troubles is
faith in God, and those who stay
their minds on him will have peace
even amid the cares and anxieties
of life. Such will suffer no trouble
to increase the natural selfishness
of the heart, which unsanctified
affliction always does. Says
"Blind Amos"
Some people are as careful OF
their troubles as mothers are OF
their babies; they cuddle them,
and rock them, and hug them, and
cry over them, and fly into pas
sion with you If you try to take
them away from them; they want
you to fret with them, and to help
them believe that they have been
worse treated than anybody else.
If they could they would have a
picture of their grief in a gold
frame hung over the mantle shelf
for everybody to look at. And
their grief makes them ordinarily
selfsh--they think more of their
dear little grief in the basket and
in the cradle than they do Of al
the world besides; and they say
you are hardhearted If you say
"don't fret" "Ah you can't en-
ter into my trials !"

senator Ieobcrison's Interview

Senator Robertson has been inter
viewed by reporter efthc Daily Ncws,
and Courier and what he has said is
said advisclly, and with dcliberation.
The Senator has Just come from Wash
instor, ana from a personal interview
with General Grant on tthc situation Of
affairs in our State
In this matter. it is un1 ucstioncd
that Senator Robertson is the mouth.
piece Of President Grant, aud spe ks to
the people Of this State rs one having
authority The words of President
Grant arc especially important, not only
because oil the tremcn lous and i'm pcrial
power which he has cxcried upon the
political dcstin;es Of several of the
Southern States, but because they are
undoubted and decisive decrces of the
uational .Rcpublicau organization,
which represents the naton,l s.ntim,nt
of the American people at this time up
on our political affairs.
Now, what is the sense and force Of
these words, ms Interpreted by this in-
tcrvicw with General Grant?
1t must be understood, too, that Scna
tor Robertson stands by his own irrcvo
cable purpose in the light Of distin.
guished witness, inasmuch rs hc dis
tinctly declares that lie "could not con
sent to run under any circumstances. ;"
Therefore, we take it that Senator Rob
estson is only interested in accomplish
ing genuine reform.
In the first place, Grant says that
tho troops are here simply "to enforce
the laws Of the United State. One of
those laws is to protect the State against
domestic violence and revolution, where
the constituted authorities are unabl
to preserve the peace. Another of
those laws is that the right of suFra &c
is inviolatc, Dor shall any voter b. in
timidatcd in tho exercise of his right
Therefore, we do not think that the
Democrats have any right to take unto
themselves any consolation that they
will be encouraged in any force, violence
or intimidation in the coming campaign.
In the second place, President Gran
says, as plainly as words can say, that
he will not support th, re. election Of
Governor Moses, and that che would

This is an exceedingly strong position
for the President TO take. How is he
going to turn the State over into tho
hands OF the Democrats Easy enough
If the convention nominates the present
Governor, then the Democrats will
nominate some man, and, on the ground
that tho c lection is fraudulently con-
ducted, will contest 1.-The election aud
