A Used UP Man.

There is something of poetic jus
tice in the fate of Blaine At the
opening OF the present Congress, his
advantage over all competitors for
the Republican nomination for the
presidency was so generally admired
that, had he been content to trust.
the quiet course of his fortune, he
would undoubtedly have been the
Cincinnati nominee. But his ambi-
ton o'erleaped itself He thought
to make assurance doubly sure, by
launching forth an untimely and
most atrocious TRADE against the
people of the southern States, and
especially those OF them who had
been prominently engaged in the
late war. A more wicked and cold
blooded assault, for the accomplish
ment Of a personal end, was never
witnessed on the floor of Congress.
But the final effects have been far
different from those contemplated
by the great bond operator. His
rivals were aroused, Investigation
reached him ere he was aware of it.,
and for the past two weeks, instead
of insolentiy taunting his superiors
in the House of Representa- he
has been struggling wish almost
fatal desperation against the ae-
eumulating discoveries of his own
venality. He met his Waterloo
yesterday.
Whatever Blaine may have been
heretofore. as a leader ef his party
he is now, in homely phrase, "a
used up man." His Presidentia
hopes are extinguished, and Of the

Another one of the "dead and dy-
ing" over whose political remains
but few honest tears will be shed,
is the late Oliver P. Morton. For
years he has Haunted his chosen
banner-the bloody shirt-and call,
ed together his followers, at regu-
lar intervals, to sup on southern
horrors. ButO. P's political corpse
is now as far beyond salvation as
his physical one. The Outrage
mlll'' will no longer grind out de-
licious music to his ear, and we
very much question if the "atroci-
ties' in Mississippi do pot soon
lose all their wondrOus charms.
Morton is another of those who
''sowed the wind and reaped the
whirlwind." We congratulate him
upon his harvest and trust he has
gathered a full crop.-KnosUitt

samanthy's Elopement.

Yes, said the old lady, as she
wiped her eyes and proceeded to
tell the sympathizing neighbor
about the elopement of her daugh-
ter; yes, Mrs. Blobbs, you may well
say it ar a dreadful stroke Iain't
had such another shock sense that
last spell o. rheumatic. To think
that darter of mine would do such
a disgraceful thing after all the care
an affection me an her father have
ravished or her from her infancy
up. 1 couldn't bear up under the
afiictiOn nohow, but for the conser-
lation of religion. Religion is pow
erful enervating in such trials as
these.
Did you not suspicion that they
were contemplating such a move?
asked the neighbor.
No, we never suspicioned nary
contemplation. After I'd run the
conceited upstart of the premises
with the mop, didn't think he'd
have the insurance to speak to Sa-
manthy agin. An she seemed to
appear so consigned that 1 never
respected her of having any under

time-so I've heerd sense-they
used to meet clandestinely, when l
thought SGmanthy was at meeting,
an decoct their plans to run off an
elope. Well, Samanthy has made
her bed, an she'll have to lay on it
l wash my hands of the ungrateful
girl from this day Forthwith.
Did you make any effort to inter-
cept them?
No, you see we didn't know it, or
else we would a intercepted 'em
within an inch O. their lives.
I mean did you mean to try to
have them stopped when you found
they were gone?
Yes, indeed, father telescoped to
five or six town, an give their pre-
scription-cost him lots of money,
too: but he said he would not mind
spendin' the price of the cow to get
Samanthy back. But we never
hecrd nothing from them, and /
told her father to let them alone
and they'd come back after awhile
with five or six children behind
them. But 1 tell you, Mrs. Blobbs,
they shant set a foot in this house

and set out with his wife
and children tor upper Arkansas,
where he knew of the existence of a
band Of desperadoes whose members
he had reason to believe would pro-
tect him. He was overtaken at
Conway Courthouse, and halting
his wagon and admonishiEg his
wife and children to keep their pla
ces, he stepped forth in the face of
his pursaers and in a few eloquent
words told them why he quit North
Carolina, and at the same time as
suring them that he would not be ia
ken alive. The gallantry of the ae-
ton operated in his favor, and the
pursuit was abandoned. Constant
pursuit had already made him mo-
rose and quarrelsome, and he began
to drink heavily and resort, to the
gambling table as 3 means of sup
port, One day in September, Is45,
while seated at breakfast he told his
wife that he had a premonition of
death, felt that he should be killed
that day before sunset. Calling his
son William bright boy of four
teen. he made him promise that he
would kin the man who killed his ia
ther.
The Circuit Court of Pope coun-
ty being in session, he attended it
with young man named Howard,
who was engaged to his eldest
daughter. As soon as they reached
the village, Hill began to drink and
exhibit an unusual disposition to
quarrel. He insulted every one he
met and finally threatened to clean
out the court house; he dashed into
the courtroom, to the CONSERVATION
of judge, jury and lawyers. Young
Howard tried to restrain him, but
glaring like a tiger, he turned upon
the youth and felled him to the
floor, at the same time drawing a
pistol he exclaimed; "Kill me or III
kill you" the man in a moment oi
extreme anguish, drew knife and
buried i in the bowels of Hill. He
! died soon after.
Howard quit Arkansas and sew.
eral years later was heard of in Sar
Antonio, Texas, where he Joined

He joined the French army anC
served throughout the Franco-Prus
sian war, but was subject to fits o

Hon. Jacob Thompson.

This distinguished gentleman is
citizen of Memphis, and all are
proud of him since he rushed TO
Washington when his good name
was assailed. To break the force Of
public Indignation at the exposures
of Radical corruption something
had to be done, and a periured vii
lian was hired to swear away the
character of Speaker Kerr The
effort was a disgraeefal failure
Then Hon, Jacob Thompson was
selected as victim. Old Zach
Chandler proclaimed on the streets
of Washington, that if the senate
should decide to take jurisdiction
of the Belknap case, it ought next
to call up one Of his predecessors in
the interior department, Jacob
Thompson, and punish him for
stealing seven hundred thousand
dollars worth of Indian trust bonds.
Mr.. Thompson with great alaclity
appeared at Washington and de-
manded investigation. He made no
plea to the senate's Jurisdiction
All he asked was that some COM
mittee shall take up his case and 60
over it and him, The committee
may be entirely composed of Repub-
licans for all Mr.. Thompson cares i,
tits the investigation that he wants.
Smarting under Mr.. Thompson's
appearance at Washington, and his
indignant defiance, ,Chandlerchanges
his programme and institutes a civil
suit against President Buehanan's 3
official. II is useless for us to say
that Mr., Thompson will come out
Of the fire triumphantly. He ap-
pears above suspicion or reproach
in the present as he ever has done
in the past. We congratulate him
uEon the possession of a character
that defes detraction, and q name
which time will vindicate from the
faspersions Of the most deprave6
wretch that a period fruitful in such
creatures has produced.--APpeal,

And rule with bayonet.

Now reek with infamy!
All. where honor was, dishonor is;
The Nation is disgraeed;
The old lan.i marks of honesty
Have nearly been eifaeed;
And every honest citizen
Now bows his head in shame.
And sighs to think of native land,
And it's dishonored name.
But lisst What sound is that we hear,
Borne on the Northern breezef
It is the rallying cry Of men
Who tire Of timf like these.
To us they cry to rally round
The standard OF Reform.
And save the good old Shin of State,
From the impending storm.
And now, in this Centennial Year,
Let honest men combine
To rescue the Republic
From the depths its decline;
And let our watchword, raised on high,
Be seen all o'er the land;
Reform, and honest government,
Is what we now demand.

Who Hayes is.

hayes IS little plddling OHIO
politician. Here is what Col. Nc
Clure has to say OF him;
"Expedieney has come again,
with medioelity as its handmade,
to extricate the once proud Repnb-
lican party of the nation, and Ruth
erford B. Hayes is its candidate for
the most important and responsible |
trustof the civilized world. The |
party that, of all others, was the
offspring of patriotic conviction,
that commanded the first intellects
OF. the country as its championship
that has achievements to point to in
mans noblest struggles for man,
which are IS rich jewels in the dia-
dem of enlightened liberty, has just
groped and crawled through eight
years of stubborn incompetency,
and now makes the confession that
it's highest councils must take ref
uge in Httleness again, to save it
from itself. That Governor Hays
is a respectable citizen, of average
attainments among the politicians
and rulers of the day, as are tens of
thousands of others in the republic,
is the simple truth and the whole
truth respecting him. He was a
brave soldier, a faithful congress-
man, who left little else than the
record of his votes and receipts on
the pay roll to tell that he had been
a representative, and has thrice
been chosen to the eubernatorial
chair of his State-an' office that in
Ohio is shorn of all control of Leg
islation and of patronage, and is
purely ornamental position, without
other than routine authority. Not
a man in the convention could have
given reason, addressed to the
fragments of the delegates, why he
should be nominated, and even ex-
Governor Noyes one of the most
magnetic of popular orators, failed
in his address presenting the name
of Hayes, for want of some sem
blance of foundation on which to
fashion an inspiring speech. And
yet he was nominated. And why?
His State did not want him, for
Ben. Wade led the vital partisan
element of the delegation for the
partisan leader of Maine, and those
of the Ohio delegation who aimed
at better destiny for Republican
ism were bargaining for Bristow.
But 10 the conflicts of nation, me-
diocrity was the open door to which
each disappointment turned, and a
State was held to the support of its
own nominal candidate, because the
accident of hopeless ENHANCEMENT
among the leading competitors
promised success to the one of re-
spectacle position, who was near
est without a record, and that man
was Rutherford B. Hayes. Hart
ranft was an equally gallant soldier,
and much more successful one, and
he had hard-earncd victories of
peace in great national conflicts to
commend him, while Hayes was
, barely saved in his last contest, by
} a nominal majority, when his party
commanded thirty thousand on q
full poll Of its strength. Nor did
: he then save himself, for he was lost
and forgotten in a struggle for
which he was wholly unequal, and
the tribute of intellect and treasure
had to be paid from half the States
z of the Union to. give him victory.

How Republican Newspaper
Organs are Kept Alive.

The way some newspapers ars
run-organs we might call them,
is we'll illustrated by the recent
Congressional Investigations in New
Orleans. The committee, in the
course OF its Investigations, looked
into the circumstances connected
with the establishments and main-
tcnance of the National RspuQicasl,
a defunct newspaper that was start
ed in New Orleans in 1871 as an
organ of Grants Administration
sud the Custom house Ring, as the
National Repu5lioan, printed in Wash
ington, is the recognized organ of
Grant personally, and of the Dis
trict of Columbia Ring. Il was
shown that the receipts of the Re
px5lican for advertising and the sale
of papers were not more than $500
per week, while the expenditures
amounted to $1,000 or more; that
TIE names OF It's editors were car
ried on the rolls of the Custom
house as Government officials; that
employees in the Custom. house were
assessed one dollar per month for
the support of the paper; that some
of them were compelled TO subscribe
for stock in the concern on pain Of
dismissal from office; and that when
funds ran short, payments OF 81, 600
and 81, 200 at time were made in
the Custom-house to supply def
ciences. And yet the poor thing
died, Notwithstanding the import
ance of baving a Grant organ in
| New Orleans.

A Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago
there was not single white man in
what is now Kentucky, Ohio, Indi-
ana or Illinois. Then what is now
the most fourishing part of the Uni
ted States, was as little known as the
country 10 the heart of Africa itself.
1t was not till 1879 that Boone
left his home in North Carolina, to
become the first settler in Kentucky.
And the first pioneer OF Ohio did
not settle till twenty years later
still. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged to France, and Washington
was a modest Virginia Colonel, and
the United States was a loyal part
of the British Empire, and scarcely
speck on the political horizon in
dicated the struggle that in few
years was to lay the foundation of
the greatest Republic in the world.
A hundred years ago there were
but four small papers in America;
steam engines had not been imag-
insd, and locomotives, and steam
hoats, and railroads, and telegraphs,
and postal cards, friction matches,
percussion caps, and breech-loading
guns, and stoves, and furnaces, and
gas for dwellings, and India-rubber
shoes, and Spalding's glue, and sew
ing machines, and anthracite coal,
and photographs, and chrome print
ing, and kerosene oil, and the safety
lamp, ard the compound blow pipe,
and free schools, and spring mat
ressess, and wood engravings, and
brussels carpet, and lever watches,
and greenbacks, and cotton and
wooden factories, in anything like
the present meaning of these terms,
were utterly unknown.
A hundred years ago the spin
ming wheel was in almost every fam
lily, and clothing was spun and WOW
en- and made up in the household
and the printing press was a cum
brous machine worked by hand
andA nail, or brick, or knife, OF
a pair Of scissors or shears, or "a.
~zor, or q woven pair of stockings
or an ak, or hoe, or shovel, or {
lock, or a key, or glass Of any size
was not made in what is now the
United States. Even in 1890 there
were only IS post-ofices in thi
county, and The whole extent ofou
post Office route did not excee,
: nineteen hundred miles. Cheal
postage was unheard of, and ha'
any suggested the transmission o
messages with lightning speed, h
! would have been regarded as utter
ly insane.
/, The microscope on one hand an
G the telescope on the other, were /
q their infancy as instruments of sc
! ence, and geology and chemistr
g were almost unknown. In a wori

Governor Hayes is a war repub-
lican, served with moderate dis
tinction in the armies of the Union,
and is considered by his party
friends a safe man of mediocre abil
ity. His principal distinction is in
the fact that he beat Old Bill Allen,
year ago, for the governorship of
Ohio. He is the hardest of hard
mOnied men, and is understood as
favoring a resumption of specie pay
ments, at even an earlier day than
that already fixed by law.
