'E In politics, as in war, remarks
the albany Journal, it is always well to
know when you are beaten. The con-
test was 80 decisive that Republicans
are quite conscious of their defeat, and
admit without bubble. The causes
are scarcely less palpable than the de-
feat itself, and will Of course, be talked
about hereafter. They can, however,
all be summed up in the single remark,
that the people, with marvellous una
nimity, deemed it q good time to make
the experiment of change. Having
acted I" in haste" we hope they may not
have occasion " to repent at leisure"

such unfriendly criticisms, until, with
the beginning of the new year, we feel
like scattering a few seed, even though
they may fall upon stony ground, in the
hope that some may terminate and
produce . new growth of ideas, more
in consonance with reason and common
sense. The publishers are not beggars,
nor do they desire the patronage OF
those who, after due deliberation, do
not believe they receive, directly or in
directly, full value for their money. All
they ask is a fair appreciation of their
efforts, and an impartial verdict after a
full consideration Of the subject.

The HANDWRITING ON THE WAIL.-The

The HANDWRITING ON THE WAIL.-The
Dalles Mountaineer O staunch Republi-
can journal, INDUCED in these repin-
ings, before the result of the November
elections was known: The great Re-
publican political party is about to fall
to pieces. The cause of this appears to
be owing to the determination of the
250, 900 Office holders to nominate Pres
ident Grant for third term. This is
obnoxious to the people of the old Re-
publican party, and they don't propose
to stand it. The result will be, new
partyIwill be formed and those who were
Democrats before the war will return to
their Il" first love" and thus-if they are
not allowed voice in the National Con-
vention that dominates the candidates
of their own party they will join some
other that will. It is fact that can
not be denied, that the present Repub-
lican party is entirely controlled by Of
fee holders. They manage the entire
political machinery from the primary
meeting in the precinct, through all the
different grades until it reaches the Ma
tional Convention. The people are get
ting tired of this sort of thing, and we
feel satisfied that the elections that came
off on Monday and Tuesday Of this week
in twenty-five States, we'll prove this to
be fact, and the result will be Presi-
dent Grant will speak out and inform
the people that he is not candidate for
a third term"

THE NEW YEAR.

dren Father Time now lies smiling in
the lap of Destiny. It will he, in some
degree, what we make it, JOY or
curse, well-spring OF happiness or
stagnant pool of bitterness and woe.
The FIRST day of the year has been
from time immemorial, season of good
resolves and virtuous intentions. Then
is when our ancestors, and our aunt's
sisters, and our great gand fathers, like
Rip Van Wrinkle, schwore off" small
vices, to assume larger ones before the
close of the year. 1t is the hallowed
season when we forgive our enemies,
and magnanimously consent to be for
given, and ratify the restoration of am
ity and friendship by imbibing generous
bumpers Of sweet cider and lemonade.
It is the peculiar notch in the wheel
which reminds us that
Zone by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall"
Youth regards the Future with hap
Ply longings. 1t is book unread, a
land unexplored, full of excitement and
mystery. The years seem long, and
the intervals between the holiday sea-
sons are stretched out as desert wastes,
frightened by on occasional oasis.
Those who have past the meridian of life,
note with peculiar sadness the passage
of the fleet-winged messenger who re-
cords our deeds and measures the slen-
der thread which binds us to the earth.
Experience has taught them that disap-
pointment attends every step in life.
Hope leads on step by step until old
age creeps on unawares, and cuts them
down just as they reach forth to grasp
the coveted prize.
It is, we believe, common for the hui
man race to take less note of time as
they grow older. The years seem
shorter, and we celebrate each recur-
ring birthday with less fervor than that
which preceded it. Sometimes they
are not counted at all for several years,
and are never added up when the exact
age is given. Hence maiden ladies sell
dom pass out of the twenties and I'M
married bachelors never grow old.
Even the STANDARD has assumed odd
maidish" airs, and actually failed to
chronicle its fifteenth birthday, few
weeks ago. In its infancy it awaited i'm
patiently to cackle whenever volume
was closed and new one began. It
may soon. however. passinto its dotage,
and it will then find some consolation
in becoming respectable fossil.
The gist of our philosophy is, that
Contentment isthe true source of earth
ly happiness. No matter what our lot
may be, we have the means within our
grasp, to a great extent at least, for
creating rainbows and peopling the
earth with the creatures Of fairy-land.
Let us strive to partake Of that "con-
tinual FEAST" and make others happy,
and in the effort we will find that we
have struck the true philosophers stone
and found the secret Of all earthly hap
piness. e.. -~s

No Republican Government in Louisiana.

Mr. Curtis contends that Louisiana has not
been deprived Of republican form OF govern
1nent because its written constitution Is Still IN
existence. We answer, it exists, not as constl-
tuition, but certain pages OF written or printed
paper The State has neither an Executive nor
q Legislature whose title is supported by that
instrument. MIR. Curtis admits this, but still
maintains that the paper Constitution is repub-
lcan form of government. Now, it is too evident
that government must exist before it can have
a form. unless we erect into political doctrine
that grotesque fancy of Hudibras, in which he
ridicnles an idea of the schoolmen that matter
may exist without form. :,
MIR. Curtis seems to put on the word form
the emphasis which belongs to the word gov
eminent, Louisiana has a government, but Its
form is not republican. The Kellogg usurpatlon
does not conform to the Constitution, ana there
II no government in the State which does.
government republican in form-not the mere
draft of form, without any governm ent-ls what
the Federal Constitution guarantees TO each
State. Mr.. Curtis thinks State would still nave
a republican form of government II every state
office were vacant.
But in that ease it would have no government,
either of the republican form or any other form.
There would be nobody who could legally hold an
election, count returns administer oaths; receive
and certify official bonds, CT do any lega! act 70
ward the formation Of government, we "ouIu
gladly be informed how State can have gov
ernment republican in form when It has no gov,
eminent at all. One might as well contend
that the human form can exist apart from any
object that bears it.-N. Y. Herald, sha.
