that the question wh0 Is 10 be the President is i
very insignificant one, compared with the question
whether the foundations of free institutions are

A few months ago an elegantly
dressed woman, the wife of rich
merchant, was 30 drunk in Bilti
more street that she could not stand,
and a policeman arrested her. Her
husband secured her release, and
the incident was kept a secret. She
promised never to drink Intoxicating

lying drunk in n gutter. and this
time the husband would do nothing
to hide her shame. She was publicly
fined in police court, and discard

APpLEToN's S. JOURNAL for January
.ontains several notable features. A
posthumous story by Mrs. Shelley,
.he author of the famous "Franken
stein" discovered among the papers
1f Leigh Hunt, will attract attention.
It is romance of somewhat old
'ashioned-type, but very powerfully
written, and full of striking incl
lents. An unusual feature is long
story in verse from an anonymous
,uthor, the title of which is 1.-Two
Women "a stirring and powerful
picture of an incident of the late war,
describing two women, effectuaily
contrasted in all particulars of charac-
ter, who are on their way to nurse a
lover wounded in battle. Whatever
one may at first think of poem of
this length in popular magazine,
no one can begin its perusal without
being carried breathlessly to the end.
There is an illuatrated paper on
Northwestern Waterfalls; an excellent
.rticle by Juuius Henri Browne on
Heinrich Heine; n good short story
by Albert Rhoades; the continuation
of Julian Hawthorn's "Out of Lon
lon;' very striking description of a
winter sledge ride over the frozen
takes of the Northwest; various
papers on subjects of current inter
est an off hand, rafting, sparkling
story of the Centennial. The editor
discusses scurrility in politics, An
tonelli, modesty in American wo
men, and other themes.

Highland County, Ohio Thursday, January H. 1877
a Rational Representative.

ltNSN huEh Iii 'uhC.
1t is extremely encouraging to get
from the South q calm and sensible
opinion OF the situation like that
which Mr.. Ben Hill of Georgia, has
inst given-an opinion which by its
judicial fairness puts to shame the
passionate and clreless character of
great dell of Democratic discus
sion. Mr.. Hill has his own idea of
the way in which all diff .ulties may
be adjusted. He has no relish for
the interference of the President
with the ultimate adjustment of TIE
controversy; and in many ways he
shows himself very cautious. But be
distinctly decl .res that in his opinion
there is neither necessity nor excuse
for trouble in the settlement Of the
Presidential question" "There can
be" he says, 'no possible apology
for breach of the peace, nor for
any physical collision, much less for
civil war"
Mr. Hill has no local prejudices what
ever against Gov. Hayes. He says
that lie regarded his nomination as a
victory over the ultraisms of the Re
publican party. He thinks him to
be an honest and fair man, and, as a
lawyer, with natural respect for
the Constitution and for civil meth
ods. As President his administra-
-tion "would be great gain and i'm
provement to the Southern people. y"
These, as the catholic views of Geor-
gia representative, are at once i'm
portant and encouraging. His great
fear is that Gen. Grant may use the
power of his Office to forward mere
" party designs. But if all men
will be as fair, as calm, and as ju-
dicial as Mr.. Hill, the President will
have little opportunity and DC
excuse for interposition. The vexed
question will be settled after due de-
liberation by Congress, in a way
which wi leave no opportunity for
fair complaint.
We deprecate quite as strongly as
SIr. Hill "a mere party triumph by
any means, fair or foul" We are
for having all matters decided equit-
ably and constitutionalIy, nor do VIZ
share those fears which Mr.. Hill ap-
pears to entertain that the Presi-
dent of the Senate will be permitted
to transct nd his legitimate cfficlal
power in declaring the vote. There
may be bluster and excitement in the
House of Representatives, but the
law will take its course, and there
will be an acqniescence in its decision.
Nor have we any cause to believe
that, whatever may be the event, Mr..
Hill will be found among the fac
tious.
1t may be said here frankly that it
is upon the honesty and good sense
of members, whether Democratic or
Republican. that the safety of the
country depen Is. This is no time for
following the lead of mere politicians
and brawlers. There may be ne
cessity for unpalatable acqnlescence
III decision constitutionally reached;
but if there should be any violence
Of word OF deed, We shall not expect
that sue men as Mr.. Hill will be
,mong the off nlers.

deck, and Col. Milford, the Com
missioner of Exchange, mounted an
onion barrel, and ma ie us a speech
about such remarks as would en-
tertain children. The men collected
around him and he began by saying,
"Boys, 1 have come down here to
take you home to your friends =
The boys jerked off their old caps
and threw them up in the air and
commenced cheering and jumping
up and down.

Water was prepared, and we were
required to wash. There was so
many of US it was impossible to fur
nish it very warm, and when the
cold water was applied, the water
and the chilly wind from the ocean
chilled US SO that we could not stand
alone. But that soon passed off, and
we were clothed in new, warm wool
en- clothes, and a warm blanket a
piece was furnished US.
While we were washing, our vessel
backed out from moorings and ran
out of the mouth Of the riverinto blue
water. She ran directly out from
shore as if she was going to cross the
Atlantic The men threw their old
clothes overheard, and in looking
back in the wake of the steamer 1

caps and blankets. riding up over

pants would strsddle billow, and I
consoled myself with the thought
that some of our Andersonville tor
mentors would find q watery grave in
the briny deep.
As soon as we were dressed in
Uncle Sans government blue, we
placed ourselves where we could be

The first thing that was ready to
issue was meat. There were SC
many of us that only one article
could be handled at a time. About a
three ounce piece of fat cooked side
meat was handed to me, with the re-
quest that would hold it until they
passed the crac kers. / held the meat
about ten minutes, expecting crackers

and so I took a taste of my meat.
That did the business. 1 lost all
control of my appetite, and the meat
was devoured in ''jiffy." 1 never
tasted such sweet peice of meat in
my life

coffee had shared the same fate as
the meat. Next came the staff OF
ife-as many crackers as we could
at. Men could be seen in every
quarter of the steamer, gnawing
,way at their crackers.

let us furnish th. m more mOdestly;
let us live less luxuriously; let Us
tune all our social and personal life

begun reform in public and eorpo-

to a reform in the civil serviee-a re-
form which will extinguish the trade
of politics that has done so much to
debaueh and impoverish the country
Let us see to it that this reform is
thoroughly effected. Our cobble-

and fortunes they have absorbed

besides everlasting work and worry.

for money are mainly for the supply
