Where shall we find our aristocrats T?
Twenty years ago this one made candles
that one sold candles and butter, another
butchered, fourth carried on distil-
lery, another was contractor on canals,
others were merchants and mechanics.
They are acquainted with both ends of
society, as their children will be after
them, though it will not do to say so out
loud. For often you find these tOiling
worms hatch butterflies-and they live
about year. Death brings division of
property, and it brings new financiers.
The old gentleman is discharged, and the
young gentleman takes revenues and be-
gins to travel-toward poverty, which
he reaches before death, or his children
do, if he does not, so that, in fact, there
is sort of moneyed rank; it is not
hereditary; it is accessible to all. The
father grubs and grows rich; his chill
dren strut and use the money. The
children i'll turn inherit pride and go
shiftless to poverty. Next their chill
dren, re-invigorated by fresh plebeian
blood and by the smell of the clOd, come
up again. Thus society, like tree,
draws its sap from the earth.

Deserfers.

The party which refused to vote a man
or dollar for the defense Of the Ma
tional Union has nominated in Ohio two
soldiers of the Union army. The party
which tried to starye the Union army in
the field has put up as its political nom-
inees two of the soldiers it tried to
starve. The party whose leaders deliv-
cred traitorous harangues to dissuade
volunteering to recruit the Union ar
mics, and to instigate desertion, now
puts up two Union soldiers as decoy
ducks to draw the votes of loyal soldiers.
The party which sent greeting to the
secession bands and proclaimed that the
Northern States must return to their
constitutional duty before they could
judge the right or wrong of secession
which called the Union volunteers Lin
coins hirelings; which proclaimed that
Union troops would have to march over
Democratic dead bodies to invade the
South; which was jubilant at every re-
pulse Of the Union armies, and cast
down at every Union victory; which
proclaimed to the rebel armies that the
war for the Union was failure, has
now set up two Union soldiers as stool
pigeons to delude the .disbanded volun-
teers to vote these old enemies into
power.
Who has changed? Not these Demo
cratic leaders. Not Thurman, Pendleton
and the rest. They make no pretense OF
change of views of the war, or of their
hatred for those who volunteered their
lives to save the National Union. These
have not changed. But somebody has
changed, when Union soldiers become
candidates of this party, to carry out its
hostility to the war and its results
These candidates have changed. They

Mr.. BEN. HILL, the leading orator in
the Democratic party to-day, the man
who can attract more hearers than any
other man in the party, was the author
of the following proposition in the Con-
federate Senate: "ResOlved, That every
person pretending to be soldier or
officer of the United States, who shall be
captured on the soil of the Confederate
States after the first day of January, 1878,
shall be presumed to have entered the
territory of the Confederate States with
intent to incite insurrection and to abet
murder; and unless satisfactory proof is
issued to the contrary before which trial
is to be had, he shall suffer death, and
this section shall continue in force until
the proclamation issued by Abraham
Lincoln, dated Washington, September
~, 1862, shall be rescinded." Generals
Eice and Ewing, who have made them
selves the allies and accomplices of the
man who could propose such villainy,
now stand as lures to entice other Union
soldiers to vote for class of men of
which this person. is the accepted chief.
Messrs. Rice and Ewing would decoy
soldiers to support men who proposed to
put every one Of them to shameful
death as fast as captured. Is it likely
that anybody is going to be deceived by
so transparent sham as the candidacy
of such men ?-tle covering of such past
wrong and future danger by so slight a
vail ?-IToledo Blade.

Ohio's Pivotal Business.

Boston Traveller.
The whole pivotal business is being
oyerdone in Ohio, and is growing to be
ridiculous The attitude of her tOO-am-
bilious statesmen reminds us of Corpo-
raj McQuinn's story of Gen. Burnside:
"He was foine gineral," said the cor
poral; "and wheniver the inemy fired his
first shot he always slipt up to me and
seq he, Corporal McQuidn, are you hurt p
No, yer honor Thin says the giner-
al, let the battle go on"
Ohio believes herself to be the Corpo-
raj McQuinn of American politics, and
when the smoke of the first shot next
October clears away she expects the ma
tional generals on both sides to step up
ane inquire if she is hurt? If not, then
the battle will go on. And if so, it will
go on just the same.

as a gentleman would wear. Lamar
then left his seat and moved uneasily
to the other side of the Chamber, follow
ed by several of his colleagues. Conk-
ling rose in his seat and asked what bus
mess was pending in the Senate. Cock
rell, of Missouri, was in the chair, and
said it was motion to lay an appeal
from the pecision of the Chair upon the
table, and the Senate proceeded to vote
by yeas and nays.
Carpenter moved his chair over and
sat down by Conkling, and Lamar was
surrounded by Garland, Vance. Gordon
and other ex-Confederates. The cOnfu-
sion which had been so great during the
evening entirely ceased, and an unnat-
ural quiet pervaded the Chamber. COnk-
ling was soon after approached by Con-
gresham Morton and McCook of New
York, Aldrich of Rhode Island, Davis
of Illinois, and others, who shook hands
with him warmly. Old Senators say
that no such scene as that between
COnkling and Lamar ever took place be-
fore in the Senate. 1t was the first time
that one Senator ever called another a
liar direct, as Lamar did Conkling, and
no Senator ever before heard the epithets
of blackguard, coward and liar ever ap-
piled by one Senator to another.

ONE of the latest gems from the Oko-
Iona Southern States is this: "Aye, aye,
Messrs. Blaine s. Co, the Democratic
party is the knight and defender of
state sovereignty. as you say. 1t be-
lieves that the general government sho'd
be newer of wood and carrier of Wa
ter for the queen commonwealth of the
Union, as you say. 1t believes in seceS-
sion, as you say. 1t fought or sympa-
thlsed with the South, as you say. 1t
believes that the ballot is polluted by
the touch of a freedman, as you say, 1t
proposes to get up revolution on its
own hook in 1881, and repeal the last
clause, syllable and letter of your wal
legislation, as you say. We glOat and
glory in making these admissions. Con-
ciliation has been knocked Inward and
crooked"

THE New York Sun, after reviewing
the field, concludes that Mr.. Tilden still
has an excellent prospect of being NOM
mated again, although SO many of his
old friends are now opposed to him. He
is anything but that shrewd and uner-
ring political manipulation that he is so
often represented to be" but he is de-
claped to have the sentiment eff the peO-
pie on his side Only few months since
the Sun believed that Tilden ought to be
killed off because of his aptness in cipher
