a yum, erous Father,

! Here is the worst case on record :
Col. Stanford Dowd, living in the
vicinity of Dowd's Station. on the X.
Il ID. NJ. II. r., isa sprightly young
fellow of seyenty-four. In the few
and evil daysthat have composed the
days OF his pilgrimage he has been
the unhappy subject ofthree mothers
in-law. He has proved himself mod
erately active in his matrimonial con-
tracts. and his first wife presented
him with five children. His second
alliance was more fruitful. and result
ed in an addition OF eleven to the
population of this glorious Republic.
He can't be blufled, even by himself,
and the third time he was married he
saw the eleven and went three better.
lie is thus the father of only thirty
children, the Youngest being three
months old. The Government APP
pointed linn a Colonel during the war
and gave him command of his own
family. The old man thinks he can
raise it to forty if the Centennial lasts

The request and advice given to his
heirs, by the Late David Snow, Presi-
dent Of the Bank Of the Republic, at
Boston, are the very embodiment Of
business philosophy. After enumer-
ating his various bequcsts to public
institutions, heirs, etc, he closes with
these excellent suggestions: ~, =
ut is my earnest desire and request
that alliny heirs (this, of course, is
more especially directed to Tie malcs)
should invest their means in some safe
way and pnrsnc some steady, per-
mancnt, legitimate business or en-
ployment with great perseverance
and industry, and success is sure to
crown their efforts i'm due time. This
course is not only an honorable one.
but is almost always the most success
full and satisfactory in the long run !;
whereas dealing in stocks and engage
ing in uncertain and rash speculations
l regard as a species of gambling at
best, a mere lottery, and although
sometimes pleasing and exciting when
the luck is good, still in the main such
a course is generally very injurious
and dcmoralizing, and often ends in
ruin, both pec,niarily and morally.
II is my hope and ardent desire that
my heirs will everjbc honest, liberal,
steady, industrious, kind to the needy,
and attend regularly some church.

|. TIE Burlington Gazette is stirred
to the extent Of a column editorial
upon our action i'll making record of
the number of cx-rebel military Off
GERS in the present Congress of the
United States. Out of this long list
we showed that only two of these ex-
rebel officers were Republicans, and
the balance Democratic, and then left
it without a single comment. This
simple unvarnishcd showing, howcv-
er, sent the blood of our Gazette
friends coursing through their veins
at Fever heat, and straiglitway a long
vit,,perative editorial appears, in
which the chief point made against us
is that the COURIER man is an Office
holder. The Gazette goes over the
whole ground since the rebellion to,
fish up all the persons. who having
once been rebels. have in ten years
past. sometime or another, been Re
publicans. III the ten or fifteen names
cited, the Gazette is correct in some,
and fearfnily in error in others. But
the charge Of the Gazette is that il is
Democratic rebels only that we refer
TO. Directly the reverse was the char
acter of our article. We especially
pointed out the two who We're Repub-
licans. in the list we published. But,
since the Gazette refers to this matter,
We will say that we do think it makes
IA vast difference whether ex-rebcls
are yet Dclnocrats, who think this
nation is no milton; whether they
claim that Andersonyillc had no hor--
rors that were not egualled in the
North at Elmi,a and Camp Douglass:
whether they claim that Republicans
in saving this Union. committed a
crime and violated the Constitution.
We say it does makea wide difference
whether they are such kind of DEM
ocrats. or, whether. they, as Republic
ans. believe the rebellion was wrong,
and firmly stand by the country as a
nation. and not siinplyla collfedera-
ton of States. And, by the way, we
think a great deal less ola party that
has such Democrats as leaders in il ON
the floor Of Congress. So little do we
think Of such party that We, would
consider il ,nlpatriotie and wrong 10
trustit with power. Finally. we can
not help bnt add that We lack much

ciated with such ex-rebel Democrats,

Warrington Correspondent Of Cincinnati Gazette
1T is not wonderful that there should
be some uneasiness among the Dem.
ocrats over the discovery that the
clerk selected for the leading House
Committee is a man who some years
since boosted that he had named his
child after the assassin of Mr.. Lin
coin. 1t is not strange that indignant
dcnials have been circulated, for this
is the only way of escape. But these
dcnials are false, il. men of standing
here can be believed. "A native South
ern official, of high standing. is iau-
thority for the statement that some
years since lIalnbleton, this clerk
boasted to him that he had just named
a son after Wilkes Booth, having
been led to this upon hearing that a
family in his neighborhood had
named child after, Mr.. Lincoln. The
word of this gentleman would never
be questioned anywhere. And this is
the man who to-day holds the most
important committee clerkship in the
National House of Representatives.
and so long as he holds it the Nation
is insulted and scandalizcd.
A man who would SO name child
is a Booth at heart, and would need
only the opportunity or the courage
to be Booth in practice. But South
ern men are not responsible for this.
The appointment was made by a
Northern Chairman, who was a
Union officer, and himself made
Chairman by Northern Speaker. 1t
is doubtful whether the fact was
known when the sclectioniof clerk
was made, but it was ascertaincd soon
after, and the only movement has
been an apparent attempt to deceive
the people of the country in regard
to it by n denial. 3t 5..-.
