his wise counscls, through his long
years of faithful public service, have
been manifest; and with voice and
pen, whenever an opportunity has Of
fcred, his efforts for the advancement
of those principles have been ever
ready and most efficient. During the
trying times Of the rebellion, his pat
riotism never faltered. his faith never
wavered that this government Of the
people, by the people, for the people,
would not perish from the face Of the
earth, but that these United States
would yet gloriously achieve their
destiny, the rule of America. Our
national legislation bears the impress
of his ripe judgment, and upon that
Judgment our martyred President, iii
days most critical to the nation, had
frequent occasion to rely, and never
in vain.
The communication hold is itself
the evidence of his strong devotion to
the political principles we profess and
love. At no mime during his extend.
cd political career, when any act of
his could contribute to the success Of
those principles, has he hcsitated in
his action. And in this paper his
earnest, nnselfish desire for the HARM
ony, the pcrpctuation, the success of
the party is most clearly evident.

GOVERNOR KlRKwo0D's inaugura
address has the clear ring through
out. In the plainest and most point.
ed manner, he sets forth the necessity
of return to specie basis, which ID
one of the absorbing questions of the
day. The Governor is sound on this
question. and his commonplace, hon
est. but direct way Of reasoning, car
ries conviction to the general reader.
On the question of railway control,
the Governors remarks will be COM
nended by the whole people Of
the Northwest. He makes some cx-
ccllcnt suggestions in regard to
to the criminal law. The
Governor is eminently right when he
says that 1t is a very grave question
we are now about TO solve i'm this
centennial year, viz: whether those
ncn shall retain control of the gov
who were its friends during
he great struggle for national exist
nee, or whether its enemies shall OBJ
ain that control. The inaugural is

tain was on deck by this time, and un-
derstanding that cries for help had
been heard from the water, ordered
boats to be lowered. thinking that
perhaps some sailors had been ut

The ship itself sailed off as if nothing
had happened, and after keeping the
steamer hove 10 about three hours
without finding anything. ordered
the bells to ring to go ahead. Subsc-

the steamer backed a mile or two.
Boats were lowered and as they were
rowed away the lights ofthc strange
