HOW THE DEMOCRATS PUT DOWN
 THE REBELLION.

HOW THE DEMOCRATS PUT DOWN THE REBELLION. The Democratic leaders, writers and speech
 makers are just now so busy putting down the rebellion in the ranks of their own party that we do not hear as much as formerly about the heroic efficiency of the Democratic party in putting down the rebellion which l threatened to disrupt this country in 1860- '65. Still, as we have not heard that the claim that that party is entitled to special and unlimited credit for saving the Union has been abandoned, we call attention to some
 facts collected by the Washington Nationa
 Republican, which show what the Democrats | in Congress did during the war of the rebel 1 lion to strengthen and encourage those who were fighting the secessionists. On February II, 1861, a bill for construct ing war vessels passed the Senate-30 yeas, IS nays, all Democrats. In the House all but twelve Temocrats voted nay. February IA, 1861, General Scott ordered the public property resolution was of fered in the House condemning Scott's &C.,
 tion, and on motion to lay on the table only thirteen Democrats said yes. All the rest condemned General Scott.
 February 21 Mir. Dawes offered reso- lution in condemnation of the Secretary of the Navy for sending away from the coun- try so many of the war ships, and only one Democrat voted for it, with ffty-siz against it.
 few days after the battle of Bull Run Sunset Cox presented resolution to meet the rebels in convention instead of on the battlefield, and forty-one Democrats voted for it, with only two against it. August ?, 1861, on a proposition to seize the property of those in rebellion, forty eight Democrats said no to two ayes. August 5, 1861, on a bill to 1egalize the action of the President in calling out the militia, three Democrats voted for it, and all the rest who voted at all voted against nineteen of them.
 February G, 1862, proposition to raisf money to put down rebellion by issuing lega tender notes; only six Democrats said yes. May 12, 1862, a bill to prohibit slavery ir l the territories got only one Democratic vote June 9, 1862, bill to allow person claimed
 as fugitive slave trial by jury only two Democrats answered yea
 July II, 1862, bill to suppress rebellion and punish treason; Democratic yeas, o. July 16, bill to employ colored men in the ! army; Democratic yeas, f.

RE CAREFUL.

The Courd71t calls attention to an impor- tant matter, and that is the duty of taking every possible precaution against technical errors in the coming election. There is 6 chance for one in Connecticut. The name o1 one of the Republican candidates for elector is Erastus Brainerd. In the ''Repu6lican Hand- 6ooh'' it is printed Brainard, as it is in the tickets two newspapers have at the head of their editorial columns. Of course the off, cial State ticket will be rightly printed, but there are always some people who prefer either to cut the tickets they vote from the newspapers or to write them for themselves. These will do well to be sure that the names are spelled correctly.

This is where they show their good sense.
 The Democratic papers of this city are try ing to make out that Democratic success would not hurt the public credit. When Maine went Democratic government bonds depreciated $2O, OO0, GOO. If the whole coun- try should go Democratic the depreciation would be much greater.
 The New York World, as soon as the cleo tion is over, proposes to print for permanent use and reference list of ''all merchants, manufacturers, bankers and other employers who for partisan purposes are now forming g leagues for the purpose of preventing their employees and workingmen from casting free and untramme1led ballots. The World will not have to leave out advertisements to print the names of Republicans engaged in this business.
 Mrs. Chisholm, whose husband and chil- dren were murdered by Mississippi Demo- crats, has received a letter from friend in Mississippi, who writes ''You must give me moment of your attention while tell you of my amusement just now in looking on the Democracy. Since the apparent disaster to the Republicans in Maine the Democrats here have been vexy buoyant and confident, anticipating victory positive ly in Indiana, and very probably in Ohio; but since the election in those States they look forlorn indeed. They have no further hope now in the presidential con- test, and really, think they see the sword hanging over the head of the Democratic Congress. Their appearance is that of com plete despondency. One of them, the presi- dent of a Hancock club, remarked in reply to my question as to how he liked Indiana : little hope now, and if we are beaten this time there will never be another Democratic nomination. Really, I believe that this is rather prevailing apprehension. They are getting ready as their appearance indicates, for the winding sheet. I can discover with 8 large proportion of the less pretentious Democrats an inward rejoicing at the pros pect. Many such men, passive men, have been long held in the party by cohesive pow CT of Democratic bulldozing, and they will be glad to be finally clear of it." This agrees with what General Grant said in his speech at Warren, Ohio, as follows: ''They want to break away from slavery which binds them to a party. When this is started the solid South will go down as ku-kluxism did When this break comes you will be astonished to find how many of our southern friends have for a long time been in favor of it.'' General Grant also said: 'sThis desirable condition can only be obtained by the continued defeat of the Democratic party"

The Golos, of St. Petersburg,
relates the following tragic incident:
A peasant of the village of Olshany,
province of Kharkof1, on his return
from the market, while counting bis
money, was called out of the room,
leaving some bank notes On the ia
BILE. His little son, four years old,
began to play with the pretty pic
lures, and when the father returned
he found only small pieces left. In
his rage he threw the boy violently
uron the floor. At this moment his
| wife entered the room with her baby
in her arms; letting the babe fall
snatched the boy and fed from thu
house with him, but found no trac,
of life In him. In despair she re
turned to the house and beheld
new horror; her babe was lifeles
lcorpsc, floating in the tub of waite
where it had fallen from her arm:
Overwhelmed by misery, the fathe
committed suicide by hanging hin
self"

The trembling dew drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers; like souls
at rest
The stars shine gloriously; and all
Save me are blest.
Mother, love thy grave!
The violet, with its blossoms blue
and mild
Waves over thy head; when shall it
wave
Above thy child?
sTis sweet flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to the coming tenn
pest bow,
Dear mother, tits thine emblem; dust
Is Oh thy brow.
And could love to die;
TO leave untasted life's dark, bitter
Bv thee, as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And l must linger here,
10 stain the plumage OF my slnless
years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood
dear
With bitter tears.
Ay, must linger here,
A lonely branch upon withere'
tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untimely sere
Went down with thee!
Oft. from life's withered bower,
In still communion with the past,
turn,
And mnse or thee, the only flower
In memory's urn.
And, when the evening pale
Bows, like mourner, on the din
blue wave,
I stay to hear the night-winds vail
Around thy grave.
here is thy spirit down?
gaze above-thy look is image
there;
I listen-and thy gentle tone
Is OH the air.
E 0, come, while here I press
My brow upon thy grave; and, i
those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child!
Yes, bless your weeping chill;
, And DER thine urn-religion's hol

: o. give his spirit, nndrtiled,
TO blend with thine.
