A correspondent Of the Gardiner (MIaine)

sensible remarks relating to the present "mttle-
trap" known as the White House They will
find a hearty response in the mind of every
American citizen who is well informed and
who believes in the progress Of the age:

THERE are in prospect two vacancies on
the bench of the United States courts-that
occasioned by the retirement of Supreme
Court Justice WARD HUNT and that by the
resignation of Judge OLIN, of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia. The
eonundrum that now most perplexes the
people is whether or not both of these
places will be filed from the State of Ohio.
IL is rumored that Senator STANLEY MAT
THEws is strongly pointing for Justice
HUNTS place, and that another Cincinnati
applicant is within the possibilities for that
made vacant by the resignation of Judge
OLIN. 1t would not be unpleasant to the
people of the Union at large if the Presi-
dent could lift his vision from the State of
Ohio when there is an Office to he filled and
q candidate to be found. We admire his
love for his STATE but it should not be SO
strong as to becloud every other prospect
and interest in the country.

The TrammeIed Ballot in the South.

The TrnnmeIed Ballot in the South.
Tho Boston Herald Qnd. Dem.) speaks out
in meeting, us it were, regarding the Southern
situation, as follows:
That there were grave and grievous wrongs
committed in tho last elections in some of the
Southern States--notably in South Carolina and
Louisana-is too well established to admit of
controversy. And they were wrongs for
which no parallels can be found anywhere in
the North. Legal voters were killed for no
other reason than that they were active in
politics. Others were driven from their homes
by threats and warnings, or allowed to remain
ON conditions which robbed them of their
rights as freomen. In some sections such q
reign of terror was established that the voters
of one party were frightened into general
abstinence from voting. These are facts sOr-
rowfully acknowledged by prominent South
ern statesmen and we cannot understand why
the free. untrammcled Democrats Of the
North should pass them over without protest.
Are Democrats any less interested in maintain
ing the purity of the ballot than Republicans
Are they so shOrt-sighted that they cannot
understand the bearings of this question Th e
main body of tho Democratic party of the
North is largely made up OF workingmcn. Do
they think they can gain any permanent nd
vantage by taking sides against the working
men Of the South?
Tho true policy for the Democrats in Con-
gress Is to keep at least abreast of the Rcpub-
licans in every measure TO defend the purity
of the ballot, not only because it is temporarily
expedient but because il is right, and there
fore expedient in tho highest and most perma-
nent sense.

THE Pittsburg Post has elevated itself
upon the highest altitude of its elongated
Democratic auricular organ. From that
sublime height it admonishes President
HAYES in the following Style
If HAYES undertakes to anticipate Demo-
cratic Senate by sending in nominations to the
present one of officials whose commissions do
not expire for two years, he will find himself
confronted with an extra session. or suspended
appropriation bills. The Democracy of the
country has submitted to this kind of nonsense
for the last time. They will have the fruits of
their victory or down goes the house.

SWEET SOLITUDE.

SWEET SOLITG DE.
1t is not all Of solitude
To sit alone in evenings hour.
And watch the suns departing rays,
That linger ere they go TO Kiss
The tiny flower goodnight which rears
Its slender form TO meet the smile
OF days decline that plays in soft
And quiet sadness in the Tales.
On hills. and distant mOuntain-tops.
Nor yet, nor yet. is t all, by far.
OfsoIitude 10 roam amidst
The silent groves where every bird
Has hnshsd tic notes Of sweetest joy;
Or wander lonely in the woods,
Where there is no kind human face
To meet us OF our weary way;
Nor even a vocal sonnd 20 cheer
Our hearts, and break the silent spell
That throws its gloomy mantle Ger
Our souls. and waves its sacred wand
OE self-inspiring dreams across
The path that winds mysteriously
Among the flowers and thorns that grow
Alternately in fancv's realm.
Oh. no these are not all that make
Us feel the power Of loneliness,
For often in the gathering crowd.
Where friend meets friend, in joyous glee.
Whose hearts will beat unison
Our souls. as strangers, cannot know
We'll, after O or our spirit steals
The sense ofdeepest solitude,
In every heart methinks there is
A cord that never wakes in tones
OF Joy, but to the touch Of love
That is its own. And when we sec
The smiles that are not ours. and hear
The tones Of friendships voice for all
Around, and catch no echo for ourselves,
We can but feel alone.
And often midst the Gayest scenes
We Join the festal ranks, and smile
The smile Of seeming JOY and mirth,
And yet.our souls are far away,
Dreaming the dream Of other days,
And we are wont to sigh behind
The mocking smile chat VIC assume.
And yet I've thought that solitude
Had many charms-I've thouget twas sweet
To live sometimes IN ones own thought;
To ra nble ali alone in realms
Too sacred for another's foot
To tread To me its kind embrace
Is sweet It's silent waters oft
] love 70 sip. and battle my soul
Within its waters pure when dark
Realities Of life be II hard
Upon the way my feet nay tread.

The San Frsaciseo Bulletin has caught the Gbrpaiele owners in Q very lOw dissy piece of work. A Chronicle carrier offered a bribe of $50 tO boy employed i'd the BulIe- tn oi6ce, and hoped under 1t to get sn accurate list of the lstter's sub seribers. The boy informed his em- ployels and soon all the spare time of tue clerks and employees was talk en up in preparing bogus lists to sat- isfy the enterprising De Youngs. There were long lists made ready, Bith names, the lke of which had been seen before, and the residences and post towns as given, extended east, vest, north an5 south, over all the world. There were jaW-breaking Russian and Polish names. of counts and accounts, and names parted in the middle. seemingly connected with high arisocratic families. The Chronicle people were no doubt de lighted wiTh their success, and paid the $50 dollars, as is alleged in the belief, that the investment vas good one, but nov when they discov- CT that they were neatly sold they would be delighted if the whole shameless proceedings to rob neigh boring publishers could be plotted out of existance. The Chronicle mail ing clerks were engaged for weeks in addressing specimen copies of that paper to the Bulletin subscribers, as shown by the prepared lists, and hun dreds of dollars were paid out for postage. On inquiry it has been found that scores of POstoffices alt over the country have been deluged with Chronicles addressed tO persons who never had any existence in these places and tae smart '' unprincipled De YOungs are being laughed at, as they deserve to be. Grand rascaIs require to be endowed with Fast abil tics, and must at all times be ex- sremaly cautious or they are sure at times to be trapped up by those they are trying to rob-
