That is what he will do.

THE Democrats in the u. S. Senate
had sharp joke sprung upon them on
last Thursday. A history Of the Dem
ocratic election frauds in Louisiana
was presented "for the information of
the Senate. 1t was presented in the
interest of Senator Kellogg. But few
Democratic Senators were in their
seats when the Vice President pre-
sented the document, and Senator
Hamlin moved to have it printed in
the Congressional Record, and perhaps
the Democratic party will be enabled
to read some choice bits of it's history
in the Congressional Record.

GEN. BoYNToN preferred charges
against Gen. Sherman, and asked that
Sherman be tried by Court-Martial,
for conduct unbecoming," etc. Boyn-

downfall of Sherman. But, as Sher-

Boynton wrote to the Secretary of
War, one day last week, inquiring
whether he (the Secretary had receiv-

said. The Secretary replied that he had

of the Constitution or laws of the
country, could committee of Con-
gress have right to interfere in the
matter OF a citizen, or number OF cit
izens, removing from one State to an
other. But Voorhees, had an object
in procuring this Investigation, and
that object was evidently to provide
the means for a lot of Democratic
bummers to visit Washington City, at
the expense Of the Government And
of course these bummers must come
from Voorhees, State-Indiana. This
scheme Of Voorhees, is Of q piece with
the work of the Democratic states
men, whenever and wherever they
have come into power
Coming home to State affairs, we
will only mention one instance,
under the outrageous and disgraceful
administration of Gov. Bishop-that
of the Athens Asylum for the Insane
1t would require an extensive volume
to contain record Of all the short
comings and misdemeanors connected
with the management of this institu-
ton. But we are speaking now Of
Nepotism.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette has been looking into the af-
fairs of Holden, the Superintendent
of the Asylum, and this is the picture
of Nepotism he presents: Holden re,
ceives $1,000 per year .as Superintend
ent, Mrs. Holden as Matron S40O pei
year, Mrs. Holden's sister, as house
keeper, S24O per year, Wesley Hold
e ell, son of the Superintendent, as al
attendant, $500 per year, James Hold
2 en-, another son, as Supervisor, S42t
per year, and three relatives of tn
Holden family, who receive each S15C
per year.
And this is the way the Democrat
ic statesmen practically demonstrat
the beauty Of avoiding all appearance
of NepOtism!

| would not live alway,
/ wish not to stay.

And bring the welcome day, &c.
We notice that these long-faced, lu-
gubrious pessimists rarely carry ont
their theories in practice. Occasion
ally one does so, like the fellow over
in Indiana recently, who got to believ-
ing the new-fangled holiness idiocy,
and then concluded that he was not
one Of them, but that he had commit
ted the ''uupardonable sin" (whatever
that may be,) and he put himself out
Of the way, at the end of a rope.
We have often heard these fanatics
talk about an objectionable sin, but
we never could get one of them to tell
just what he meant by it.
We were once very well acquainted
with neighbor-a very good man by
the way, but he had pessimism badly.
He was a preacher. He had a habit
Of groaning in meeting. We have
heard him utter the most agonizing G
groans-worse than the boy who want
ed the "beller ache" 1t is within the
bounds Of truth to say that this good
man could be heard at least one hun
dred yards when he groaned. Argue
with him that this world was not
what we conceive of heaven, yet it
was Gods world, and that we must
admit that the happiness of all His
creatures was the evident design and
desire of the Creator. The miserable
man would only groan louder, and de-
clare that man should never think of
happiness, or even of pleasure, in this
world; all that was sinful; man should
go mourning all his days, while in this
''vale of tears" on account of Adam S
great transgression.
We have thus very briefylcalled at
tention to one extreme, pessimism
next week we will refer to the other
extreme, optimism, and after that,
strike dividend, and see if there is
not common-sense medium, both in
worldly affairs-business matters, and
also in religious belief and action,
where greater good can be accomplish
ed than in taking these extreme views.

THAT was witty remark, made by
Congressman Speer, of. Georgia, on
last Thursday, in the debate on ''revi-
sion Of the rules" "Speer is an Indepen-
dent Democrat from Georgia, and one
of the youngest members of the House.
He favors ''clean appropriation bills"
or,in other words, is opposed to attach
ing political riders to appropriation
bills. Mcmahon, an Ohio Democrat,
undertook to crush Speer, by alluding
to him as my young friend from
Georgia" Mr.. Speer promptly retort-
ed that he hoped he was one whose
follies would cease with his youth. }"

crack the party lash over that partic-

THERE was a beautiful outburst Of
fanaticism, at Salt Lake City, Utah, a
few days ago. A man named Cain
was Jealous Mormon, during Brigham
Youngs reign. Young, it is said,
cheated Cain out of all. or nearly all of
his property. Cain died-so did Young.
Gains son sued for, and regained, con-
siderable of the property which belong
ed to his father.
Meantime, he became disgusted
with the workings of the Mormon
Church, and apostatized. The young
man was in the habit of drinking intox-
icating liquors. A short time ago he
died, and his mother, who had remain
ed a faithful adherent to the Mormon
faith, desired to have him buried by the
Church. John Taylor, President of
the Church, officiated at the funeral.
After few remarks fitting to the oc-
casion, Taylor said: He left the faith.
Did he die saint? No. He has gone
to hell, and there is WI ere he deserved
to 60" Taylor also mentioned that
the young man had been drunkard
The mother and sister Of the young
man each fell in a swoon, on hearing
the truly good mans remarks.

much like a sermon. OF course not.
We do not want to run in the ruts

might be as dull as they, and reduce
our congregation as low as theirs in
numbers, or, instead of eight thousand
live, wide-awalle hearers, we might be
reduced to dull, half-asleep congre-

mourning, and grieving, and lament

our ancestors, Adam and Eve-iust as
