wardrobe behind that he started on
foot, intending to take the stage at the
crossroads.
These answers were given in an off
hand, impatient way, but good-naturedly
enough ; but when some of the more
tedious and pertinacious repeated ques-
tions, in various forms, regarding Rut.
gers sudden leave, Godfrey would start
and stammer, grow uneasy !; and at last,
with an oath, would tell the persevering
inquirers that was all he knew about it,
and there was no accounting for the
freaks of drunken fools, or the obsti.
macy of inquisitive ones, and that when
Rutgers came back he would tell all
about the matter.
Months passed, and there was no word
from Rutgers, nor information of him
from any n else.
Godfrey, meantime, by his genial
manners, had won the good will of his
neighbors /; and, as they saw that he was
irritated by inquiries concerning Rut
gers, they forebore to press the subject.
One wag, it is true, celebrated for his
conceit and his high appreciation of his
own shrewdness, came one day to the
miller, and said that he had seen Rut
gers half an hour ago, and that he said
he intended to stop Mt the mill in the
course of the morning. The effect Of
this announcement on Godfrey was pc
c~uliarly strange. He started back as i
bitten by a snake, leaned against the
mill as if %paralyzed, grew pale, and
trembled as if afflicted with ague !; theI
recovering himself in n moment, he
rushed at the young man, seized him by
the collar, and exclaiming, "In teach
you to play tricks on me I'll make you
as helpless as Rutgers before I've done
with you'll" pummelled the jester till he
howled alternately for help and mercy.
This little episode effectually stopped
the mouths of impudent inquircrs
None after that day approached the sub
ject except in a cautious manner, ant

The gratifying result in Maine, where
in Il largely increased total vote the Adj
ministration majority has been cut down
more than one-half, was not brought about
without earnest and untiring work. The
part taken by the Democratic press OF the
State has been greatly to its credit, con-
tributing not little to the success OF the
campaign against Grantism. The Port

Standard, of Augusta. the Republican
Journal, OF Belfast, and, indeed, every
Democratic and Liberal newspaper in the
State, showed u vigor and life that gave
the canvas an impulse such as has not
been known for years The organization
of the party was also creditable to the
gentlemen having that matter in charge,
under whose management the campaign
was conducted though quietly. OF the

True Reform.

The opportunity of the Democratic party
is in Offering TO the country evidences that
reform will follow the success of the
party. The best pledge of this that can
be given in advance will he
in the choice OF men put for
ward rs standard bearers and caudi-
dates for positions of trust and RESPONSE
bility. Party platforms are proper and
right, but these convention resolutions will
accomplish little II men are not placed In
power who will be guided by them,
and seek really to serve tho people
rather than themselves. AS general
thing, man who tbrusts himself
forward and claims Office or consid-
Grafton on the ground of his psrtizan SER
vices will prove failure In the end. They
become the barnscles that finally weigh a
party down and procure its defeat
and destruction. At time like
the present the Democracy should
exercise calm elaboration, and lay
down the principle that there should be
more OF selection in determining who shall
be candidates for Office. This principle
especially should guide the party In selecting
men for the most prominent Offices. II the
character of these be spotless, IL their ability
and integrity be unquestioned, these will be
points in their favor that will weigh strongly
against party prejudice, and secure victory
often by gathering up votes from even those
sontimentally opposed to tho party.
II, on the contrary, the demagogue, the
time server, the political hangers on, are suf-
Tered to usurp the leadership of the party
and command its patronage, success with
such Is hardly to be desired. The country
needs and demands reform. 1t needs a bet
ter man tor president. 1t needs ADLER
and better cabinet officers. 1t needs
honester men In the Senate. 1t
the eighty thousand Office holders, q
higher responsibility and more unques-
toned integrity. 1t wants men above sus-
piclon. 1t tires of rings. 1t is sick OF inves-
LEGATIONS. 1t is nausested with the con-
tlnued development of frauds. 1t is dis
gusted with incompetence and medi-
ocracy. 1t would escape from the
devouring cormorants that are en-.
richins themselves from the treasury of
the country. The sense of the people cries
out all over the land tor better men,
and the party that promises this and grants
this will secure the appreciation OF the vast
majority of the people. No sham declsra-
tions will do. Men with wise heads, clean
hands, and honest hearts are the men with
which the Democracy will succeed in
gaining and retaining power-and without
them they ought not to succeed.

The speakership.

The important duty of electing the speake r
of the House OF Representatives Will devolve
upon the Democracy on the assembling of
congress this winter. 1t is needless to say
hat it is an important duty, and the judi
cious performance of which will, to a very
great extent, indicate the purposes of the
party in its future policy. The Office OF
speaker Is not merely place of honor for
some man, 10 is a position of influence, OF
power, and responsibility, and as such should
be filed by a man who will use his inhu.
ence and power thus conferred in a
manner that will reflect honor upon the
party that selects him. The Democracy
have, on the several occasions when
speakers were to be elected, since the Re =
publican party came into power, generally
selected good men for whom to cast their
complimentary vote. Now that the vote is
to be given for the man who will be elected,
still greater care should be exercised, in or
der that the country may see that this first
exercise OF power by the Democracy is
wisely exerted.
Sectionslism should have little to do
with the matter. Neither an Eastern man
nor southern man nor western man Is
wanted, but a national man, one whose
reputation as a legislator has been that of
compromising the wants of the whole
country. and whose record in legislation
Will prove this.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that in making
a selection il will be done without those
complications and promises that tie the
hands of the speaker in advance, so that in
the constitution of committees the whole
policy of legislation is determined before
hand. No man who would make such
promises or pledges oft for the place. He
should be man free from ring influences,
whose record is so good that no suspicion OF
corruption attaches to his name. If such
a man is secured 1t will be pledge to the
country that the Democracy do mean re-
form when they promise it to the people.

The Journal of this morning again
slurs at Mr.. Grant. What does this mean9
Is third termism on the rise, and does Nor
ton really fear the effect of that Des Moines
speech? The Journal, rejecting the spirit of
Mr.. Morton, can not bear a word said OF
friendly relations with the Southern people.
If just about this time Mr.. Grant should ap-
point Longstreet, Mosby, a Kellogg, a
Beauregard, Settle, or an Alderman to Of
flee, what a mournful howl would be
raised by the Journal. 1t may be that its
spite at Mr.. Grant now has some reference
to these past acts of Mr.. Grant In ap-
pointing old confederate officers to places in
his administration.

Zinc Change Near at nand. .

How very near Morton is to a complete
flop over on the resumption bill may be
seen in an article in the commercial columns
of his organ on the silver feature of the re-
sumption bill. 1t quotes, as if approvingly,
from the New York Bulletin touching the
vast accumulation of silver in the treasury.
1t will be remembered that the resumption
bill, which Mr.. Morton says he had some
thing to do in framing. directed the treas
urer to sell bonds and purchase and coin sill
yer with which to replace the fractional cur
rency. Bot the plan does not work, and
vast amounts Of silver have been accumu-

Republican Investigators.

When in the future this country shall
have purged its official service of NAL
feasance and corruption, the Republican
party of Investigations. In the light of his
tory its pretentious inquisitions and their
insignificant results must appear supremely
ridiculous. Reform within the party Is the
specious and fsllscious doctrine of Mr.
Morton, by which he psches his FESTIVE fol-
lowers when, disguised with glazing abuses,
they threaten detection. He makes his
disciples believe that such a thing is easy to
be done, that 1t IL intended to be done and
that It will be done. But what steps have
ever been taken to sustain such promises or
hopes? Down to the latest burlesque of the
administr tion on attempts at reform, the
manifestations are worse and worse. De-
lsuo, after long and impudent delay to
comply with the demand of the people and
the president, at last gets out of the
way; and who is put in his place
to inspire confidence in reform
of the iniquities charged to his administrs-
ton? Chandler, man whose personal
character is an affront to the cabinet and q
disgrace 10 the nation, whose public record
iustifies the belief that no scruple will stand
in his way for the aggrandizement OF him
self and his friends. From the most re-
spectacle authority grave charges of high
handed fraud come against the management
of the Indian sgencies, compelling the form
of another of the characteristic investigs-
tions. What has it accomplished? That for
which it was designed, the exculpation of
nearly all the delinquents who have been
getting rich by stealing from the govern
ment and robbing the Indians. The inves-
tigation is in full character to correspond
with those which have preceded it, con-
demning tina sins but protecting the sinners.
It Is claimed that the head OF the depart
ment has no direct communication with its
officers and can not be answerable for the
conduct of his subordinates. Yet, in
spite of the determination to vindi-

horton on the Resumption Bill.

If there had been a Republican triumph
in Ohio, say twenty or thirty thousand ma
joTity was thought here when the Jour-
nal was purchased in the Morton interest,
that paper would doubtless have adhered
to the force bill and taken no steps
backward. Morton said in his Urbana
speech" had something to do with the
preparation OF this BILL voted for it in good
faith, and intended to stand by It, until ex-
perience has demonstrated that il is i'm
practicable or needs amendment" When he
got home and heard the first new
of a victory of twenty thousand majority
the organ was at once purchased. But the
doleful tidings came that the vote was
close, and that defeat was only saved by a
change of seven thousand votes in Cuyshoga
county, which Mr.. Morton himself can not
believe was an honest vote, in a county
only giving a ballot OF twenty thousand,
then the virtual defeat of the force bill issue
suddenly caused his organ to change his
tune. The Sentinel gave II week to
change, but In view of Morton's recent
fatherlng of the resumption bill,
which we had overlooked, 1t may
take longer than week. 1t took him little
longer to flop over on the negro suffrage
question. He pouted a good while over
Grants veto, and now we think that 1t may
be few weeks before he lets the Journal
come out against that bill, and play a new
tune. The crushing blow of the result in
Ohio caused him to mount the fence, to sur
veg the situation, and there he sits-ready
to turn the crank backward or for
ward as the case may be. He
may wait till the news comes from Ohio,
when the way will doubtless be clear
enough to enable him to see the inexpedi-
ency of the bill. The silence of theIournal
now shows conclusive that he is yet unde-
termined on which side of the fence he will
get down. In monse, at fsrthest, he will
doubtless dsown his baDtling and admit
that it is an impracticsble barren ideality.
