an incident related by the Lockport IN. Y.) linton

kindly-meaning, well-intentioned man.
But as leader heis far from a success. He
is the victim of his impulses, and lacks the
coolness of a safe guide. MIR. Hill deprecates
investigation into the alleged election frauds
in New York and elsewhere. This displays
his weakness in marked degree. 1t argues
that he is intimidated, and by staying the
course of fearless right and truth would
placate the mercy of the victois. No, no,
Mr.. Hill. Let the investigation I've deep and

THE subject of our existing treaties with
Germany is attracting much attention. The
American, apparently well informed on this
subject, says:
1t is reported by cable that the German Government
has decided the provisions of the Naturalization treaty
made between the United States and tho North Ger
man Confederation, tNord-demscher Bund, do not
apply to the conquered provinces Elsass and Iohrin-
gen. This Is rational conclusion to to, and Is

German merican citizens viii of suffer by
this decision. That Is, however, nothing new. The
disgraceful papers passed between this country and
several OF the old German States, and which called
'treates, have worked nothing but Injury to our
interests. They We're aptly characterized by Ger
man scholar some years ago. who said "the treaties
''were evidently drawn up at dinner, q clause was
agreed to after each course and finally the plenipo-
90 'tentiaries rolled under the table AMI signed the
documents amid the scattered crumbs and discarded
"corks." 1t would indeed seem SO, for the treaty
with Bavara-which Is the most elaborate and most
Insulting to the credit OF this country-bnds Amer.-
citizens to obey laws not yet passed. That is all
military laws passed after the treaty WAS signed, were
agreed to beforehand binding upon American cit-
zens. And the Interpretation Of any 0ense against

the work Of representative, Mr.. Bancroft. Five
treaties were made by him on behalf of the United
States; with Prussia, (Nord-deutscher Bund, with
the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Kingdom OF Wurtem-
burg, with the Grand Duchy Of Baden, and with the
kingdom OF Bavaria. The first Of these was
signed early I'm the spring OF 1858, each OF the

IT is easy enough for those who read be-
tween the lines to see that the talk about in
vestigating the electoral vote of New York is
n stock gambling dodge. The same crowd
that bulled stocks after the Indiana election
began bear movement early this month,
and the charge made by the Democrats
that they were overwhelmed by fraudulent
votes in New York affords them an opportu-
nifty to milk the market. That great frauds
were perpetrated by the Republicans we
know, because they had control of the vast
sums of money which are needed to carry
out frauds OH an extensive scale. That
Democrats should seek to expose means by
which the popular will has been defeated is
only natural and proper. But no one seri-
ously proposes to contest the result of the
election upon such grounds. General Han
cock would refuse to lend himself to such a
proceeding, if it were seriously thought of,
which it certainly is not. Having wasted
their splendid opportunities in 1876 and
1880. the only thing for those opposed to Re.
publican dogmas and Republican methods is
to wait patiently for such opportunities as
future years and coming events may afford

A SONG FOR OLD THINGS.

In vain men tell ms that time can alter
Old loves or make old memories falter.
That with the old year the old years life
closes,
The old dew still falls on the old sweet flowers
The old sun reviyes the lew hedsed hours.
The old summer resrs the newborn roses,
Much more muse that bears upon her
Raimeut and wreath and flower of honor,
Gathered long since and long since woven
Fades not or fails ss fal the vernal
Blossoms that bear no fruit eternal
BY summer or winter chsrred or cloven.
No time cast down. no time uprises,
such love such memories aud such praises,
As need no gface OF sun or shower,
No saving screen from frost or thunGer
To, tend the house around or snder,
The impershable and peerless flower.
Old thanks old thoughts. old aspirations.
Outive mems lives and lives OF nations.
Dead, but for one thing which survives
The inalienabie aud unpriced treasure.
The old Joy OF power, the old pride of pea sure
That lives Ia the light above mems lives.
