THE RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were pre-
pared jointly by Generals Faulkner and
Mcmahon, and submitted in an open
air meeting of soldiers on Illinois
street. They were cordially and unani
mously indorsed:
Resolued, That we denounce as
infamous the attempt Of partisans to
make the soldiers of the war the allies
of corruption.
Resoloed, That we denounce as
traitors the attempt of the republicans
to use our devotion to an undivided
country as a means of exciting civil
discord in our land.
Resoloed, That when General Grant,
after prolonged tour of the South in
1865, reported our victory complete
and the loyalty of the South restored
to the Federal Union, we believed him,
and we denounce the party which,
abandoning the spirit of Lincoln express
ed in memorable words, with "Charity
to all and malice toward none,'' has
inaugurated crusade of hate against a
section of our country.
ReSolued, That claiming no right
superior to that of other citizens because
of our services in the war, we deprecate
all attempts to engender feelings of
partisan animosity among those who
fought for the Union regardless of
political differences.
Resoloe1, That we thank the House
of Representatives for impeaching a
Secretary of War charged with specu-
lating for gain in the purchase of head
stones to mark the last resting place of
our dead comrades.
Resolued. That as we fought against
the foes of the government in the field,
we are equally determined in our
opposition to the processes of corruption
by which the republican administration
Of the government is being undermined
and destroyed, and we ask the people
of the country to make pure and safe
by the election of Samuel J. Tildcu to
the presidency and Thomas A. Hendricks
to the vice-presidency of the govern
ment we have made SO many sacrifices
to preserve.

Political Briefs.

The next President of the United
States will bo named June II, 1875, at
Cincinnati, OhiO. '..'....
! Did the Democrats really Intend to run
Jeif. Davis for President, that they were
so anxious to get his disabilities removed i?
An odd spectacle for patriots-to SEQ
the Democratic Confederate leaders con-
trolling the National House Of Rcpres,
entatlves, and arraigning the Federal
Government for Its conduct of tho war.
Thosc Democrats who stood before
BIaine's gun in the late amnesty dcbste,
after blowing the powder out Of their
eyes, conclude that it must have kicked.
Who told EN- so?
Wocld any one believe that such things
colld have occurred in tn years after
the Coufedera;cs were beaten in the Aid?
Is Confederate rule in the House, and ia
this shape, the sort Of thing that patriotic
men desire to see! Another step of the
Democracy toward power will plant The
feet of the rebels on the ncckI of the
loyal masses -Krnacj.c Jouraal.
That Hill has therein spoken the soa>
timcnts of the leading. the active and az
sressiy' Democracy, there is, unfortu-
nateIy,a superablndauco of evidence, 1t
only remains to be seen what will be tho
verdict of the country in the case. We
do not blame Hill for having spoken cut
of the falluess Of his heart; on the con-
trary, we thank HIM for letting US under
stond what the issue is.
The Republican party is not opposed 10
amnesty. Several amnesty bills have
passed, and each OF them with a Rcpubli-
can majority in Congress. 1t has extended
amnesty to all except those who aided
the crime of perjury to that Of treason
and who number about seven hundred
and City, all told. 1t is now ready 10
extend amnesty to all of these EXCEPT
one, and that ono JEFF Davis. Indeed.
all they ask is privilege of vote on
him. If the Democrats want to make
the issue right there, they are welcome
70 it. '. NF.f
Hill has succeeded in getting it put on
record that the Confederate platform is
just this, as Blaine put it in his speech
"lf the South can come back and rule
this country with the Northern DEMOS
racy, they are in favor of the Union; but
1.-THE Republican party is to have power
he is for war;" lie justified the rebel
lion because the election of Liucoln was
ayiolation Of the Constitution. '.+

Of interest is the marriage of youth about
seventeen years Of age to widow about
fifty years old. She has some grand.
children and, think, is nearly old enough
to be his grandma. The young man or
boy drove to Recaturville to get his
papers. On arriving there, he went with
gentleman who seemed deeply inter
ested in hhm and was ready to give him
any information he desired. The youth
asked what "a pair Of license" would
cost him, and, on being informed that
they would cost two dollar, he said it was
very cheap, and wanted to know where
they kept them for sale. After finding
the place he had been seeking, he began
to narratc his business, and the polite
clerk asked him the name of the LADY.
lie said he did not like to tell, but he
could soon bring her in aad let him see
for himself who she Was. After much
loss of time and perplexity, the poor boy
got his papers. Then he fastened to tie

as possible, lie got there late in the
evening, and there being no person or
justice near, he thought it best to wait

soon settled things to their satisfaction.

An Internal Machine in the
Auditors Office.

Quite an excitement was created in the
olxth Auditors office, day or two since
Oy the receipt of small box by:express,
addressed to Auditor McGrew. That
gentleman fearing the package nigh. be
an internal machine, filed with nitro
g'ycerins, giant powder or dynamite.
cautiously turned it over to Chief Mes.
senger Lambie. Lambie called Tom
Lamb to his assistance, aud the twain
repaired to the basement of the Post
Office Department to open the mysterious
box. After removing portion Of the
outer wrapper, they discovered strisg
protrudiDg from small hole in one end
of the box. and this string was attached
to kind of wooden piston in the inte>
rior. II was quite natural for the gentle.
men to imagine that the moving of this
piston would ignite percussion fuse or
something Of the Kind, and cause an ex.
ploslon. Accordingly they placed it on
the ground, and attached long piece of
twlne to the string before mention, and
after piling load or two of bricks around
1t TO keepit to its place, they went out
and took a look at the national debt, and
upon returning paycd ost about two huns
dred feet of twine, and got into safe
place around the corner of one Of the
basement corridors. Lambie stood ON
tl?'toe, shut his eyes,and thrust his finger
in his ears, and awaited the denou.m,ut

times around his dexter hand and holdipp

let go his hold and ran away. Silence
followed. Lambie then gave the twine
Jew gentle surgcs, like chap bobbin for
eels, and growing bolder by the unbroken
silence, he gave a furious jerk which broke
the string An fears in regard to the
explosive quality Of the box now being
diss'pated, they boldly opened it, and
what it was, has not been determined -
The general opinion is, however, that it is
a model intended for the Commissone,

Oldest Couple in the World.

According to the Danville (Ill.) Times
it is probable that the Oldest couple in
the world lives in Montgomery county,
Indiana. That paper says: .| 20 SO
DR.. Watkins, of Fairmount, recently
visited man and woman in Mout,E
gomery county, Indiana, whose ages ar.
respectively ll3 and ia years, and who
lived together in this married state eighty.
five years. The name of this ancient
couple is Fruits, and they aro the parents
of Mrs. Thomas Williams, of Catin
Township, The old man stands up as
an ramrod, and does quite good deal Of
work every day. He has always been
moderate liver, and uses no tobacco
which is an argument against tobacco
users. But his wife has been steady
smoker siStyssars, which is an argument
in favor of tobacco. lTde old lady il
afflicted with cancer which made its op,
pearance upon her forehead forty wears
ago, and which she now is doctorinr with
seal oil. At one time in her life she
weighed 225 pounds, but gradually shrank
away till she now tips the beam at 1926.
