Journey made by this Richmond party into

teen Years ago he had been one Of Il purity
that started TO Richmoud, and with every
prospect, they thought, OF quick and sue

their guns aloug, aud somewhere near lit

they got TO shooting AT each other, and
his party suddenly changed their programme,
gave out their southern trip, aud hurried back
to Washington a great deal faster than they
came. Hcattributed d the different result of the
TWO expeditions to the fact that these Rlch-

with thcm,and on meeting the Boston knights
they had the same password and the same

The late Vice President Brech-
inridge.

In our last issue we briefly amour
ced the death of Hon. John G. Brock
inridge, of Lexington, Ky, on the
18th inst. We find the following
obituary in an exchange, which we
transfer to our columns with melan-
choly pleasure -
John c. Breckenridge was born at
Lexington, Ky, in 30, so that he was
but So years of age at his death, His
father, who died when John was but
three years old, was very prominent
citizen Of Kentucky, and his mother
was granddaughter of DR.. John
Witherspoon Of revolutionary memory
and a lineal descendant of John Knox,
the great Scottish Reformer. He was
early cared for by his fathers mother
and sent to tie College of Danville
KY, where he graduated at the age of
seventeen years. He Immediately eli
tered upon the study Of the law, and
as soon as he attained his majority he
commenced the practice at Burlington,
Iowa. Remaining there but Il year OF
two he returned to Kentucky, married,
resumed practice in Scott county and
atterWard removed to Lexington,
where he resided at his death. He
was elected twice to the Legislature.
But Il telicitous speech, made at one
of the receptions of Henry Clay, at
tracted the favorable regards Of that
distinguished man, 50 that although
Democrat, on becoming candidate
for Congress-, Mr.. breckenridge was
elected in spite Of the large Wing ma
iority OF the Lexington district. lie
was reelected without difficulty. His
career in the House ofRepresenta'ives
was honorable to him, as he enjoyed
the reputation of being an industrious
and vigilant legislator, as we'll as an
able debater. His nomination to the
Vice Presidency in 1856 was said to
be unsolicited and we may well con-
cede that so young Il man could hard
ly fix his eye with much confidence
upon the attainment Of such high hon-

In the June atlantic Hon. Robert

In the June atlantic Hon. Robert
Dale Owen gives a chapter Of recent
political history which Is exceptionally
curious and interesting in the lost pos
sibilities which it suggests. 1t relates
to the establishment of the policy of
reconstruction by the Joint Committee
OF Congress early i'll the year 1866.
Mr.. Owen, having y knowledge of the
character and capacities Of the freed
men, prepared an amendment to the
Constitution by which civil rights
were to be Immediately granted to the
negroes, and full citizenship, with the
right of suffrage, was postponed until
July 4, 1876. Other sections forbade
the payment of the Confederate debt
and excluded negroes from being
counted in the basis of representation
until they should have the ballot.
With this was joined a resolution ex-
tending general amesty to all en-
gagged in the rebellion as soon as the
amendment should be ratified. Mr.
Stevens approved the plan, and it was
adopted in committee and ordered to
be reported. But, in courtesy to Sen
ator Fessenden, who was then i'll, the
report was delayed few days, during
which time the influence of Repub.
lican caucuses, anxious about the com.
ing election, effected its reconsidera
ton and the substitution of the Four
teenth amendment as it now stands.
1t will readily be seen that, with uni,
versal amnesty in 1866, the South re-
stored to the rule OF its able and eX-
perieuced citizens. and the freedmen
educated in the duties Of citizenship
and the responsibilities of their new
position for ten years longer, the con
dition of the country would have been
far different. The debauchery of car
pet-baggery, the usurpation through
military interference and the robbery
of States by ignorant Legislators woult
have never hlackened the pages of oul
history. Such is what might have
been. But it is more than doubtful
whether such an amendment conlt
have secured the support of that Con
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1875-05-26

Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas and Ne

the temperance Of the grasshoppers
thus early in the sea3o II, and the ap
prehension daily grows stronger that
these pests will again destroy the

A visit to Southwestern Missouri re-
yeals the fact that the young grass,
hoppers are devouring everything
green in that portion of the State, and
the people are all panic stricken. Cat,
tie and horses are dying by the hun

nothing to eat, not even buds or leaves
on the trees in the woods. In the
nelghborbood of St. Joseph, too, mil
lions of grasshoppers have ,Aade their
appearance, and are eating - every
thing. a reporter says thy are now
as large as a horsc-hy and quite spry.
In walking in the fields hundreds of
them rose before him, aud so thick
were they that by sweeping his hand
through the air he could get as many
as fifty at single grab. a young
lady writing from Western Kansas
says: Il spent the day at the farm
last Thursday, aud l never saw SO
many grasshoppers in my life. The
blanks around ou.' tlower.beds were
completely covered with them, and it
was impossible to walk without kill
inc them. Mammals rosebuds aud
all the plants were stripped Of every
leaf, and not blade of grass was
left" In Minnesota aud Nebraska
the pests have only just begun their
depredations, and the farmers are ex-
panding their ccrn-felds and dimin-
ishing their wheat, in the hope that
the later maturity Of the crop may
carry it beyond the reach of the de-
stroyers. On higher dry and sandy
soil the eggs are Matching in such

".Allen and Eaton"

Some of the Radical Democratic
papers name Gov. William Allen Of
Ohio, as the next Democratic candi-
date fol President, and Senator Will
liam 0. Eaton, of Connecticut, as
Vice President of the United States,
at the ensuing Presidential election.
No true Democrat will refuse to sup
port it, An exchange justly says of
this ticket, that "44llen and Eaton wiN
do to count on" The Jeffersonians of
the country are now studying up the
resources Of the party. Mere "availa-
bility" they trade in no longer They
have had quite enough of that element
for the past ten years, unless it has
changed its meaning to-day. Policy
men stand nc chance in 1876. Time
servers, trimmers, self seekers, dema.
gogues, there are scores of in the front
ranks Of the Democracy, we are sorry
to be obliged to say. Theirmere abil-
ity" is not questioned, but it is coupl-
ed with policy, and the masses have
had too much policy crammcd into
their threats. The election Of 1872
was a policy game, and the Jefferson
ian host will take no stock in such
schemes. craftsmanship, courage
and integrity" in the highest degree,
are what the Democratic masses are
now looking foi, and if conventions
seek to foist any lesser qualifications
upon the platform OF 1876 it will be
the farce of 1872 over again. Past
records will have great weight with
the people. No violently assumed
eleventh hour patriotism will avail.

in their respective charges to grand

too, that she has seen more bright
