LETTER FROM VICE PRESIDENT

The Springfield Republican of Tuesday morning
contained the following letter on the political sit

States;
WASHINGTON, Jan. l6, 1875.
Ny dear Mr.. Boseles:
find in your journal statement that agree
with you that the republican party is dead. Ibeg

the contrary believe that the Republican party
has it in its power TO what it has lost and
to elect the next President. In saying that am
not unmindfu Of the grave questions at issue, and
which arc pressing for solution; of the disasters
that have fallen upon 1t, OF the hopes expect

party whose strength and power have never nm.

The grand work of liberty and patriotism il has

Republican party, and more than thirteen months
since warned my political friends Of the danger
of losing the next House Of Representatives. The
party has made mistakes, and is now paying the
penalty Of these mistakes; but its ideas, principles
and genersl policies have not been condemned. II

Vice President Wilson has written let
ter upon the political situation which we
publish. 1t is very hopeful letter, con-
tanning suggestions worthy of considera-
ton. Considerable stress is laid upon the
necessity of conciliating the liberal repub-
licans. We apprehend the door Of the
republican party is wide open for their re-
turn, but ii rests with them and not with
the republican party to decide what their
course will be. We have no doubt all re-
publicans would welcome them cordially
back to the republican fold, and let the
dead past be buried in the grave oil forget
fuiness.

The Washington Chronicle says 1.-The
selection by the New York Legislature OF
the Hon. Francis Herman as the successor
to Senator Fenton is very fair indication
that the Democracy are faithful TO the old
doctrines of the party, and that when an
opportunity offers they pnt in position per-
sons about whose political opinion there
can be no question. Mr. Herman was a
member of the New York Legislature at
the beginning of the war, and when the
bill was under consideration appropriating
$1,000. 900 to enable the State to respond
10 the call of President Lincoln, and fur
nish the quota of the $4,000 troops asked
for, he denounced it as an act Of usurpa-
ton on the part of the President, and
pointed out that there were no existing
acts of Congress. comforting any such au-
thority. He warned his Democratic friends
not to engage in any movement that con-
templated violation of the Constitution
and warned the President not to 90 too far
with the bayonet. He is of coarse very
severe now in his denunciation of Presi-
dent Grant for seeking to put down the
new rebellion attempted 10 be inaugurated
by the banditti OF New Orleans"

A petition has been presented in Con-

A petition has been presented in Con-
gress, numerously signed by colored men
of the South, asking Congress to set aside
some portion of the Southern States or
Southwestern Territories for Their exclu-
sive use, and afford it the same protection
as is now provided by law for Choctaw'
Cherokee and Seminole Indians. The
petitioners represent that neither them
selves nor children have an equal chance
in life while living in the midst of the
dominant race. And yet Senator Gordon
and the conservatives of Louisiana say
they are the friends Of the negroes. II
they are why should the negroes desire to

OF the Senator widely disagree.

The Chicago I.2bune says a prom

known to his intimate friends as
"Hhe Wolf" He earned the SOB
riquet by curious adventure in Wis
cousin. Many years ago he was trav.
cling a lonely road in the southern
portion of the state on horseback.
A branch came athwart his face, and
knocked off his spectacles. Without
his spectacIes the Judge was as bliud
as a bat. He could not think Of pro-
ceeding on his journey until he had
found them. Accordingly he slipped
from his horse, and, holding the
birdie in one hand, began searching
for the lost "eyes" on "allfours." !"
The horse was restive; and without
spectacles the Judge could see no
spectacles. The search was long and
anxions. Finally in the distance was
beard the bowling Of prairie wolves
The horse plunged and snorted; the
spectacles remained hidden: the law
yer was in. despair. Finally, as the
wolves were almost at his heels, he
leaped upon his horse, gave a free
rein, and was soon riding blindly
away to safety. When the danger
was passed he reached forward tu
sooth and caress his frightened horse,
and tangled in the name he found
what he had long sought and mourn
ed because he found them not-the
spectacles. His friends heard of the
narrow escape, and to this day he has
remained s',The Wolf" in private and
confidential intercourse.

EooIish Habits.

sometimes as dangerous as they are
foolish. Walking along the streets

not only no appetite, but decided
aversion to food. TO take a glass Of
soda on summer day under the. be-

glass of water. To persuade yourself
that you are destroying one unpleas-

Honesty.

Dr. J. G. Holland, In scribner's for November
We have somehow learned to make
a difference between those obligations
which we owe to the government and
corporations. These ideas are not a
whit more prevalent among office.
holders and directors than they are
among voters and stockholders. Men
are not materially changed by being
clothed with Office and power. The
radically honest, man is just as honest
in office as he is out of it.
Corrupt men are the offsprings ofa
corrupt society. We all need
Strengthening up. The lines of our
morality need to be drawn tighter.
There is not a man VIII, is willing to
smuggle, and see cnstom officers
betray their trnst while ne does il;
willing to receive the results Of the
sharp practice of directors Of corpor-
at,ons in which he has an interest;
willing to receive the patronage Of
the government IN the execution Of
schemes not based in absolute ne
cesity; willing to take exorbltant
price for piece of property sold to
the government or to corporation
who is fit to be trusted with Office
When we have said this we have
given the explanation of our public
and corporate corruption, and shown
why it is SO difficult to get any great
trust managed honestly. All this
official corruption is based on popular
corruption = loose ideas of honesty
as they are held by the popular mind;
and we can hope for no reform until
we are better based as a people in
the everlasting principles Of equity
and right doing. If we would have
the stream clear we must cleanse tie
