THE RADICAL IDEA OF A NATIoN.-The
North, the old Free States, alone represent
National will, and alone have right to
dictate the National policy. The twice-con-
quered slave States have no more right to a
voice In their local affairs or IN National
affairs than have the convicts in the peniten-
tiary to control their prisons or the States
in which they are located. Let it never be
forgotten that rebellion is conquered terri
tory, and that its inhabitants are prisoners
of war on parole. This is the doctrine of
glorified Zach Chandler, as held by Grant,
and as unfinchingly promulgated by the
Sentinel. Trimmers, time-servers and dough
faces may not like this open, undisguised
proclamation Of these ultimate and naked
truths, but they are true all the same, and
the. only logical outcome Of the present po-
litical situation.-Lemars Sentinel

residence in this city was extended to meet
the requirements of this, for him, new depar-
ture. magnificent salon and dining-room
were added, and the entire building was sub
Jecled 70 most elaborate renovation in the
way OF decorations and works of art This
was accomplished, and the residence of the
venerable ex-Goyernor Of Maryland was re-
garded as one Of the most elegant mansions in
the city. The season Of entertainment began.
and their residence was often the scene OF a
brilliant assemblage of the most distin-
guished people at the Capital
No reason has been assigned for the separa-
ton other than that ex-G Gov. Swami was on
posed 10 this style of living, and had entered
serious objections to it. This check did not
please her ladyship, and il was soon discover
ed that GOODNESS existed between them which
the ftieads and relations of the Ex-Governor
took no steps TO interfere with, simply main
tanning a neutral position, and allowing mat
tiers to take their course. Subsequently Mrs.
Swami took departure for Princeton and the
Ex-Governor left for Baltimore with Mrs. DR..
Carter and her husbapd gentleman of fine
presence aud elegant style, and the accom-
plished widow Of his only son. Last summer,
instead OF going to Newport, they spent the
summer with DR.. Coates at bis country resi-
dence in Maryland. The Ex-Governor has
now returned TO this city, and is again seen
with his elegant turnout, bowling along the
avenues aud drives of the Capital, while his
wife remains domiciled at her residence In
Princeton. Mrs. Dr. Carter and young Mrs,
Swami will dispense the elegant hospitality
of the ex-Govepnor's home during the coming
winter in manner more in consonance with
the aged statesman's wishes than was the case
last season.

DEATHS

4
DIED, on November the 18th, in Hyatts-
town, in this county, JOHN GARDNER,
in the Nth year Of his age.
Our dear father now sleeps in Jesus, blessed
sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep;
The prison walls are broken down,
The angels bid him swiftly come,
And shouting on their wings he flies
And gains his rest in Paradise.
RAG.
DIED, on the 22nd inst, at the residence
of her mother, in this county, Miss EMMA
S. LOEFFLER, aged 1S years, 2 months
and days.
"The child of earth is numbered with the
dead"
A mothers heart is overwhelmed with
grief as she sees her loving and beloved
child, the light and blessing Of her home and
heart, so cold and silent in death. Friend
ship, love and maternal fondness reached
forth their hand to save, but in vain Emma
died. With loving farewell upon her lips,
the angel of Gods mercy bore her ransomed
spirit, through the glittering portals to the
Golden City," while the blood washed
throng shout a glad welcome to "Beulah
Land.'
Loving hearts cease your mourning
Your loss is her eternal gain" Her suffer
ings were protracted, and during the last few
weeks were intense, but her Father released
her from her pain, and now she awaits to
welcome you to the land of the blest, where
sin never enters, and sorrow and partings
are no more.
The deceased was a gentle, affectionate
girl and sincere friend. Her excellent quail
ties were appreciated by large circle Of ac-
ouaintances A genial sunny dianosition
and many virtues won for her love and
admiration that time cannot obliterate.
Cheerful and patient under affection,
welcome smile greeted all. Her image will
be gratefully cherished in tender memories
of the past.
Enrobed in loveliness, not born of earth,
she sank, like weary child, to rest. May
| she rest in peace"
A train Of loving friends followed her to
the cemetery where they tenderly and tear
fully laid her to await the resurrection of
the JUST
Ardent affection will inger long and
fondly around that mound, but let all feel
and know that it is a Heavenly Father that
chasteneth.
The bereft family have the sympathies of
the community, and especially is the stricken
mother to be condoled in her sorrow. We
pray that this darkness on her path may
soon be bright with the CLEAN of hope and
faith
"Yes all we know must die,
Since none can tell the exact appointed
hour,
Why need it cost the virtuous heart sigh,
Whether death doth crush the oak, or nip
the opening flower ?"
FRIEND.

The people of California and Chicago are
seriously dubious of Grants sanity. This is
needless. The old theory shat only mind
can be dethroned' controverts any evidence
from the conduct on the part of Grant that
allows speculation. Grant never had any
brain only 10 equal the instinct of the lower
class Of animals. On this subject the Chi.
cago Times says; "A paragraph copied into
the Times day or two ago, from San Fran
cisco paper, in which grave speculations
were INDUCED as 10 Gen. Grants sanity, has
attracted very general attention and led 10
deal OF discussion In this city. The average
reader no doubt took Il for granted that the
paragraph was written in sheer wantonness,
for the sole purpose OF creating sensation,
In view Of the importance Of the subject
in the estimation Of the public. Strangely
enough, however, some OF those who have
seen most OF the distinguished parsonage
during the reception week just closed are
least inclined TO treat the matter as a silly
or a cruel joke, and the state OF Gen. Grants
mlnd-now that weakening Is mooied--is
discussed, even among his most enthusiastic
admirers, with gravity that would indicate
feeling Of serious apprehension. Al the
hotels, and also at the clubs and public re-
'orts generally, Gen. Grants mental condi-
ion has. during tbs past two days, been a |
requent topic Of conversation and discus
Ion.

Gen. Hancock denies that he favored the
execution of Mrs. Surratt and says that
President johnson suspended the writ of
habeas corpus and gave it to him to return to
Judge Andrew Wylie with the order of sus-
pension. Not one of the crew who assisted
at the execution Of this poor, innocent old
woman, have had the moral courage to ac-
knowledge their guilt in that infamous and
cold-blooded murder. If the public did not
know the christian victim it would be led to
believe she had committed suicide.

pect to erect Bismarckian despotism, and

The cable announces the death of the
widow Of Charles Dickens. Her fate had
been like that of so many other wives Of
Englishmen of letters that ii would seem
that in England poetry and the domestic af-
fections do not thrive. Shakespeare, Shelley,
Byron and others did more or less as
Dickens did--ran away from their wives
Even the transcendent genius of such men
did not save them from public censure and
Byron and Shelley were both driven out of
English society and even from England,
never TO return. Dickens was very much
blamed for the domestic unhappiness that
divided his household. The public, without
stopping to inquire very closely into the
facts, took sides with the wife. Ii was as
sumed that the intimacy between the novel;
ist and the younger sister of his wife was an
unlawful one and no denial was credited
Mrs. Dickens objected violently TO their COM
panionship and put upon Il construction
that the public accepted. Il may be that
she was right and il may be that she was
mistaken.

The Captain of Calcutta steamer reports
that the Gulf-stream whose velocity is three
or four knots an hour was running at only
one knot an hour, and also, rapid fall in
temperature. This mysterious.stream is the
heater of the eastern side of our continent,
and gives England and Ireland their vernal
bloom and luxuriance. If this statement
should be really correct 1t would materially
affect the temperature Of our own climate as
well as those countries Of Europe dependent
upon it for genial or modified winter tenn
perature. 1t would, in fact, be attended by
the most disastrous consequences.

Much has been printed of late as to Grants
strength in the South. The Washington
Post contained an expression from many Of
the Democratic Representatives from the
South upon this question, this week, as they
came in fresh from the people able TO speak
their sentiments. The average conclusion of
those who have been interviewed is that the
South is for the Democratic presidential
nominee, and that she has no particular
choice, but that there are few disaffected
ones in the party-some disheartened, and
Others disorganizers. The loudest noise in
this direction comes from the old Republi-
can supporters, with an endeavor to disrupt
the Democratic party so FAR as to carry one
or two States and maintain power
