and no objections were raised by the
people, when the Judge took charge OF

TILDEN held that "the advance OF
Union soldiers across the Southern soil
was trespass, and that every soldier
made himself liable as trespassar."
No veteran with any self-respect can
vote for him, or for any candidate who

was nominated. as Lawrence does.

8 A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Tribune says of the Republican candi-
date for Secretary of State: The truth
about Col. Barnes is that he is gentle
man of unimpeachable integrity, and
the efforts of the Democrats to assail
him on side issues that have no bearing
upon the canvass is the best proof that
they have failed to detect any flaw in
his armor rofuprightness and honesty,
and that he ought to be elected.

decidedly in favor of the Republicans.
Republican gains are reported from al
most every town where elections were

and indicate that the popular mind is
awakening to the danger that threatens
the country.

1.-THE ENQUIRER AND ODD FELLOW
SHIP.

"Last Saturdays Daily Enquirer has
good deal to say about Mr.. Barnes,
the Republican candidate for Secretary
of State, and his connection with a res
olution he is said to have introduced
into the Ohio Legislature, some years
ago, to the effect that Masons and Odd
Fellows be not allowed to serve on
juries. The Enquirer, on the author
ity of the Dayton Journal, asserts that
Mr.. Barnes is now high Odd Fellow,
whatever that may mean.
"This is not the first time that the
Enquirer has been guilty of seeking to
arouse Odd Fellows against men offer
ing themselves for public offices, and
while we do not set ourselves up as the
champion of Mr.. Barnes, nor defend
his action in the past, yet we can not
permit this opportunity to pass of say
ing to the Enquirer and all other pa
pers that do likewise, that they insult
forty-six thousand members of the
Order in Ohio when they seek to drag
US into political fight.
1--WE do not know whether Mr..
Barnes is an Odd Fellow or not, nor do
we care. His being an Odd Fellow or
being opposed to the Order would not
make the least particle of difference so
far as our own vote is concerned, and
indeed we have not unfrequentIy dis
criminated against memb bers of our own
craft when satisfiud that they were try
ing to use their connection with the
Order to lift themselves to political po-
tions. No member is allowed to dis
cuss politics in the Lodge-room, and
when newspaper so far forgets its
calling as to be continually trying to
arouse the prejudices of our memb bers
against politicians, it must indeed be
hard run for arguments.
"We think we can say for the Odd
Fellows of Ohio, that as class they do
their own thinking and their own vot.
ing. This they will probably continue
to do regardless OF the insults of the
Enquirer"

LEAN UPON THE ROCK
BY MRS. SARA woLvERroN.

Through the thorn-road and none othel
Must widows footsteps tread,
Whilst the sad-bells vet are ringing
Requiems o'er he rhonored dead.
One by one must cares cucumber,
One by one the days come round,
And the presents call TO action
Deaden many softer sound.
Friends may whisper words of comfort
Press the lips, and clasp the hand;
Still alone, and in the darkness,
She must in her trial stand.
Alone! All, no! her God is with her
Tho the clouds may lie between,
And His smile of love, so brilliant,
Be by mortal sight unseen.
On His word so close relying,
She must bear her cross all through ;
And the work He sets before her,
Strive with cheerful will to do.
Tho her hopes may lie all withered,
Plans like dew-drops waste away
She must weave, and she must gather,
just the same, each day by day.
Though the wounds press deep, and
deeper,
And her woman's feet be weak,
God will give her strength as needed
He does not at random speak.

Sober Words.

Speaking of the Democratic inves-
LEGATIONS at Washington, cores
pondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial says:
The difficulty with the Democrats
seems to be that they rely more upon
the corruption of the Republican
party to restore their bankrupt for
tunes than they do in the effect that
would be produced if they were to
demonstrate their own superior wis
dom and patriotism. They seem to
think if they prove that the Republi-
cans have stolen the public funds and
outraged the trusts confided to them,
that that ought to persuade the peo-
pie of the necessity Of turning over
to them (the Democrats the admin
istration of affairs. They have in
this made the mistake, l apprehend,
of measuring the American people
with too short yard stick. The Re
publican party has committed lts
crimes and made its mistakes, but
the Democratic party has also graveiy
offended. and is also in disgrace. And
the offenses of the Democratic party
are far more serious than those OF the
Republican party. 1t is as well to
meet the question fairly. Under the
administration and encouragement Of
the Democratic party, a rebellion and
attempt to dissolve the Union and de-
stroy the Republic was made possible.
The doctrine Of State Rights, as
taught by the dangerous school OF
which jefferson was the founder and
head, was made the cover and ex-
cuse for treason. The Democratic
party of the South made bold and
manly fight for its opinions and in
defense of its doctrines, and the
Democratic party of the North gave
them a sneaking encouragement. This
one crime for the Democratic party
outweighs all the petty thieyery and
roguery of which the Republican
party has been guilty.

Three Hundred and Fifty Live
Alligators.
From the Memphis Avalanche, April

From the Memphis Avalanche, April 80.
A nice lot of playthings in the
form of $50 live alligators passed up
the river yesterday, on their way to
the National Centennial at Philadel-
phia. The hideous-l looking reptiles
embraced all sizes, from the little
tiny thing six inches long. just out
of its shell, to one 131 feet in length,
named BILLY" The latter, vener-
BILE rascal, with rather repulsive
countenance, is supposed to be near
ly $50 years old, judging BY marks
he carries, as set forth by Audubon
and other naturalists. These alliga-
tors were captured by Mr.. Thomas
L. Bond in the vicinity of Pearl river,
Louisiana, and near its entrance into
Lake Ponchartrain. In the collec-
tiOn is small, mean-looking cuss
named Ned. who has learned to stand
on his hind legs, dance "iuba," and
play tricks. Ned is about three years
old, and if this precocious plaything
keeps on he will be likely to ride an
act in circus before great while.
While the steamer Robert Mitchell,
on which they are, lay at the levee
yesterday, large number of curious
people crowded around the wooden
tanks or boxes in which the alliga-
tors sported. At one time Mr.. Bond
felt uneasy, and he called comrade
to watch his pets, to keep people from
carrying off half dozen of them TO
eat. Mr.. Bond feeds the alligators
on fish. At present they are healthy,
and some of the amphibious and fe-
rocious brutes look as if they would
eat hog in u minute, or q man
either.
