The Buffalo Courier says: Il seems
TO be indispensable to. the veal ofthc
republican party that one Orother Of
the late confederate leaders shouldbe
kept pcspetually on exhibition before
the people, in the act Of breathing
forth threatenings and Slaughter
against the government and the
north. Ashort time ago JEFF: Davis
was credited With a bloody and fool
ISL speech which never passed his
lips. and about the same time the
White House organ at Washington
reported that General Forrest, Of reb-
Ell fame. had delivered himself at
siuldon, Tennessee, declaring that
,.he believed there would be another
war, and his policy would be to raise
the black flag with the skull and
cross-bones on it, ard not leave a re-
publican, white or black alive in the
state" In answer to a letter OF in
quiry on the subject, General Forrest
now writes that he has not said any
thing of the kind, either in public or
in private, and has not even thought,
Of such a thing. lie has made no
speech anywhere for two years; IS
taking no part in politics, ard had
never heard of such place as Null
don, Tenn. He greatly deplores the
efforts that are made by some persons
in the north aa1 in the south to en-
gendcranimosities between the races,
andto prejudice the president against
the southern people; and he only de-
Sizes that peace may be preserved,
good feeling restored, and the consti-
tuition and the laws respected and
upheld all over the land.
Such, of course, is the sentiment Of
everybody at The south who is any
body, and Of none more cmphatically
than of those who took an active part
in the war against the Union. The
time cannot he far distant when this
will be understood at the north, and
it will be useless for the loyal press
to publish lies to the contrary. In
the meantime, however, these lies
serve a useful purpose for the party
of all the morality, and the harvest
of them will rot fail.

The six thousand Mennonites who
have come to this country are to be
largely increased by immigration in
the spring, and they will be welcom-
ed. The people derive their name
from Memo Simon, who was born in
Germany, in the year 1905, and was
a man Of eminent piety. They are
like the Baptists in denying infant
baptism, but unlike them in pouring
instead ofimmersion, like the Friends
in being opposed to war and oaths;
and, as all good Christians ought to
be, they are strict in discipline, and
aim 10 cultivate practical religion
A large community of them, which
has had q settlement near the Black
Sea for nearly a hundredycars, have
recently been forced by the Russian
Government TO the alternative Of
bearing arms or emigratins, has de-
cided to come to this country in the
spring.

In adopting the resolution Of Mr..
Anthony, approvingofthe Presidents
course in Louisiana, the UnitedStates
Senate hascompletely stultifed Itself,
and verified Mr.. Chlistiancy's ideas
that this question is entirely circular,
ending where it began, and not adj
vancing one step. In the first place,
the Senate would not seat Pinchback,
thus declaring as plainly as possible
that it did not believe the Garnt-Kel-
logg government was legal. Next,
in debates on the resolution, both in
caucus and the Senate, it was uni
versally decided that the legality Of
the yice-royalty in Louisiana would
not be recognized, and yet they de-
liberately, in the face Of this, voted
to approve the course Of the Prcsi-
dent in unfolding his own acts,
which had been openly pronounced
illegal. So IS presented the anomaly
Of body of men voting to approve
that which they declared they disap-
proved. If this is not a muddle; a
confusion worse confounded," 4
much ado about nothing, and a gen
uine swinging round the circle 1t
is hard to say what is. And yet a
Radical majority in the United States
Senate is guilty Of such action.-EE.

to have received considerable benefit, but while
walking in his room was attacked with dizziness,

aid was summoned Immediately, and every effort
made to restore him to consciousness, but without
success, and he gu ietly passed away.

The violent attack of the republican party

nomination by the democratic convention
~ candidate for Governor, and the bel
lowing and dolorous sounds of his friends
on account Of the severe lashing given him
BY Col. Smith of the Portland Press on his
war record. is well illustrated by the fol.
lowing:
A farmers boy was crossing field where a very
ferocious bull was allowed to roam at large
When the boy had about reached the centre of the
field he suddenly saw the bull with head lowered,
rushing furiously at him. Being accustomed to
managing cattle, he was in no way disconnected,
but ran to . tree near by and commenced running
around 1t, with the bull after him; then, present
" he caught the bull by the tail and commenced
belaboring him numerically with stick. The
bull finding that "tail' was turned, started off at
. iun, the boy swinging to him, but the faster he
ran. the more the boy belabored him until. finally
he commenced believing. "Oh" says the boy
increasing his blows, "you may below, but ia

cannot lose it, it believes, without great
loss of prestige, nor can they gain it but
at the expense OF a great internal feud
which will expose their national conven-
ton of 1876 to the same perils as those
which in 1868 made shipwreck of the
party. The smaller OF the two evils, in
the Herald's opinion, is defeat this year

at really matters little" says the East
mort Sentinel, $50 far as our State cleo
ton is concerned, what the democracy, in
convention assembled, said or did, or how
much their candidate may slop over; they
were sure of defeat. but the position of
Gen. Roberts upon temperance will add
largely to his defeat. 1t can no longer be
said that there is really no difference be-
tween the parties in the State. One rep
resents the advanced sentiment of the
active, consistent and persistent temper
ance men the other proclaims free rum
as its motto, through the mouth of its can
didate for governor.
Exception will Of course be taken to
characterizing opposition to prohibition as
advocating free rum, but it will be hard
task to show the difference. One fact is
evident, that every rumseller and every
rum sympathizer is an ardent opponent
of prohibition while nine-tenths of the
friends of temperance, the world over, are
advocates of prohibition.
The elections last fall have misled Gen.
Roberts. He thinks the tidal wave serious
ly weakened the principle of prohibition.
He grievously errs. One year of license
will disgust many men who were willing
to give it trial. The temperance cause
is the cause of humanity. and it must 60
on. Temporary reverses it will meet, but
it will recover from them and push on and
on. The aim of the democracy is to
make the rum traffic an honorable pur
