IF the argus valued its space it would not
have taken two-thirds of column on
Wednesday to correct an error OF the PRESS
made on Monday and corrected by itself on
Tuesday. We refer to the river and harbor
appropriation bill. The argus then proceeds
to quote reported remark OF Senator Ferry
of Michigan to the effect that the House ap.
preparation bill for rivers and harbors is
$1,00O,O00 less than than the appropriations
for the same purpose last year. With the
figures before him, Mr.. Ferry should have
seen that in 1875 this appropriation bill
amounted to $5,991, 200 or $I26,350 more
than the bill of the present House. The
same Republican House, however, appropri-
ated $5,2SS,000 in 1874, the year correspond
ing with that in which the Democrats appro-
priated $5,S72, $50. That is, a Democratic
Congress its first year appropriated 1854,
$50 more than the last Republican House
did for its first year. Yet the Arqus in
wrestling with this appropriation a few
weeks since declared that it was sample of
Democratic economy!

A DEMOCRAT was heard to say yesterday
that he was opposed to these soldiers of the
late war getting together and marching about
the streets and recalling the "strife. the Bit
terness and hatred of the late unhappy con-
hict." 1t is bad. Suppose the present Con-
federate Congress pass resolution express
ing their dislavor thereat. Our Democratic
friend should remember that the Union SOL
dier harbors no feelings of bitterness toward
his Southern brethren. That is an impress
sion which the old Bourbon should get rid OF
even if lie does object to seeing the ''boys" in
line again-after the expiration of eleven
years.

The Model Democrat.

1t is safe to presume that Mr.. Lewis Stew
art, Greenback and Democratic candidate
for Governor of Illinois, will now be notified
OF his nomination by the latter organization.
Officially speaking Mr.. Stewart is still in ig-
norance that the Democracy of Illinois have
chosen him to lead the van of raform and all
that sort of thing. When asked the other
day if he had been notified of his nomina-
ton, he said, "No, l amt. Nor I don't
suppose I'd better be until after Tilden ha.
written that letter of his'n. 1t wouldn't
comport very well with my weil.known char
acter for modesty TO formally accept the nom
ination on that platform until the candidate
for President has, nor until he construes the
platform" Now that Tilden has written
that letter of his'n it will be safe and emf
nently proper to notify Mr.. Stewart that he
has been selected to bear aloft the palladium
and so forth in the great prairie late of the
West. And now that the platform has been
construed Mr.. Stewart doubtless holds to the
necessity of reservoir of coin, and has in
distinct views as to the International bal
ohNOos I1ClCbOlOiC AC LIDS utiu tudL money
is crystallized labor" and that a greenback
is the governments certificate emitting the
holder to certain amount of labor. His
new theory falls little behind the old one in
lucidity, and has the merit of being "con-
straed' by the leader of his party. Mr..
Stewart has not found it necessary to de-
cline the greenback nomination, and appar-
emily finds no difficulty in endorsing both the
views of Peter Cooper and of Samuel j. Til
den upon the finances.
The Democracy of Illinois are to be con-
graduated upon their nominee, for he is a
man who has solved the problem which has
been perpexiDg their party leaders for the
last two years, and who possesses a brain so
capacious that he can entertains at the same
moment the financial dogmas of Parke God.
win and Tom Ewing and heartily believe in
both. Had he been known before the st.
Louis Convention the Democrats all over the
land would now be shouting for Stewart and
Reform. He is the model Democrat, the
ideal leader, troubled with no opinions of
his own, aid ready to believe all that the
platform makers set down for him. Some
Democrats who once stood high in the conf
dence of their associates have estranged their
party by holding ideas in advance of conven-
tions. Though they have afterwards recant-
ed they have found it an awkward thing to
do and by their rashness have alienated their
fellows. But here is man who absolutely
refuses to have any ideas at all until the par
ty platform has been ''construed' by undis-
puted authority, and who then finds no DIFF
ficulty in holding opinions Numerically op-
posed. Under the lead of such statesman
dissensions would be utterly impossible, an
tagonsms could not be aroused, sectional an
imosity would have no chance for existence,
for his great brain is capacous enough to
hold all opinions. The Democrats made a
great mistake in neglecting to nominate him
for President, mistake calculated to cast a
gloom over their whole canvass.

H.R STEVENS:
Dear Sir-From exposure took sick about nine

became badly affected, and | suffered excruciating
pain in the small OF my back with great difficulty in
passing my urine.
One physician said was diseased all through my
