A SWEET young girl went into a
Cedar Rapids music store and asked
the clerk, inquiringly, if he had "A
Heart that Loves Me Only?" No."
he said, "but here's Health to Thee
Mary. !" That wouldn't do, but
before she turned to go she asked,
Have you One Sweet Kiss Before
We Part!' That Cedar Rapids clerk
looked up aud down the store; the
book-keeper was out; the boss was up
stairs trying to sell Granger wheezy
old melodeon, and so he leaned over
the counter, and turned out about half
a dozen of thebest and most artisticaly
finished articles that the astonished
young lady bad ever seen offered in
job lot. She didn't say much, but she
went out of the store in O step and a
half. and rubbed her cheek thought

THE MARrPOsA BLACKSMITH.

The Eureka Sentinel and Virginia
Enterprise are quarrelling about the
politics of j. W. Wilcox. the Mariposa
Blacksmith, who assaulted the cores
pendent of the San Francisco Chron-
icle in the California Senate Chamber.
The Sentinel says Wilcox was nom-
mated at least twice by the Republicans
of Mariposa county, for the Assembly,
and was once defeated, and at another
time elected on that ticket. He was
also, the Sentinel alleges, candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Congress, and sold out to Timothy
Guy Phelps, who was defeated by
Axtell, the Democratic nominee. a
man who is guilty of such ruffianiy
conduct az Wilcox, is not much credit
to the party to which he claims allie
glance, aud both would do we'll in
eleoting him to stay at home in the
future. His course is condemned by
respectable men of both parties, aid
it is hoped for the honor of the Golden
State that neither will endorse his
brutality by again nominating him for
any Office 10 the gift of the people.

LET the Alliance Revie,U and the othe,
Grant organs Of Stark county tell theil
readers one fdct-juSt one; amid the stream
OF stutf and trash that they weaky issue
namely, that SAMUEL j. TILDEN has ma.
JGrity over Mr.. HAYES of quarter of a
million and more.
This expresses the verdict of The Amer
lean People. The scoundrels who "rebel'
against that fixed decree of the People
are the Grant officeholders. They are
the "rebels"-they the TRAITORS" to the
Constitution and the People. They are
drunk with power and would continue
their revelry and feast. Like Belshazzar
of old they disregard the decree. Let
them remember that Truth and the Peo.
pie are mighty, and must prevail
Horace Greeley once said he could not
imagine why God in his providence put
on our people such infections as the ave-
rage and general Republican journals
These virulent sheets approve the con-
splracy of Morton, Chandler, Sherman,
Grant, Wells &c. Some of their poor fol-
lowers swallow their stuff, shout hosan.
mas of joy, and fire cannon over Hayes's
election!
These organs of Grantism too talk
about the Democracy plotting for war,
and organizing in secret. We take pleas.
ure in assuring these gentlemen that the
American People, by large majority, are
ready to maintain and Defend open not
In secret, the Constitution and the
Union. The Democracy do not work in
secret-do not favor secret political ar.
rangements, and with an overwhelming
majority ofthe People on their side pro-
pose that open, free and public discussion
shall continue, and as in the past, will
continue to be the strength of our power
with the People.
But, he is bad American citizen who
harbors an idea of and encourages civil
war. After an election has been peacea-
bly, held as was that Of Nov. 9Th, and the
result no wise in doubt, all good citizens
acquiesce and submit. Weare, therefore,
to see the conspirators at Wash
ngton have such following. True, their
hereabouts consists of the noisy
members of the party gen,
'rally. We know of many honest Rep
lblicans who admit Tilden's election, and
he ablest and leading journals of their
'arty say the same.
The fact is there is only one side to this
question Tilden has large majority
ver Hayes of the popular vote, and on
he face of the Electoral returns, he has
majority of one.

A RULE THAT WORKS BOTH WA Us

If the Democrats insist upon inquiring
into the proceedings of the Louisiana Re,
turning Board they cannot prevent the
Republicans from inquiring into the pro,
ceedings of the Oregon Governor. On
the other hand, if the Republicans insist
that the authentic action of the State is
conclusive in Louisiana they must insist
that it is conclusive in Oregon. Upon
the State therof any alleged wrong in the
appointment of electors must be right in
the State. In respect to the Oregon case
the facts in the law are yet to be officially
ascertained. Ifa wrong has been done
in the appointment of electors there ought
to be some way of righting it in the
state. but we are prepared to say that
that there is any. In South Corolina the
Democrats have suggested precedent
6y calling upon the Supreme Court of |
the State for relief. But if there is no
remedy for such wrong with a State. is
here remedy anywhere else, upon the
,heory that appointment OF electors is a
state matter3-A Y Post, (Rsb.) |

Louis Globe Dem
Even if elected Tilden never shall be
inaugurated.-Bob Hger8oH,
The above extracts are only few of
what we might give to show the spirit of
laWless violence that animated the Rep
ublican leaders before the election. Since
the election, as before, the intimations of
violence in settling the Presidential ques-
ton have come from the Republican side
entirely. The Dem ocratic party contem-
plate no appeal to force, military or 9TH
erwise. Our faith is in the strong will of
the People and the law, The practice of
force is the Republican style as we see in
South Carolina and Florida where they
resist the DEGREES of the Supreme Courts
ofthose states lin the former state using
military force for that purpose. In fact,
the Republican managers rely upon law
less force to give them what the people
have denied them, namely, the govern
ment of the country.
The ictons about secret armed Demo.
cratic associations, freely circulated by
Republican journals is only stratagem
to Justify their use of military force. 1t
is the old fable of the wolf accusing the
lamb ofriling the water, when the latter
was up stream.
The voice of the people is omnipotent
in crises of imminent danger to public
safety, and, when the critical hour shall
come, the People, the mighty PEOPLE, will
assemble in grand conventions in eyery
state, and will command peace, harmony,
union, the preservation of the Constitu-
ton and the supremacy of law,
