WE desire to call special attention to the
resolutions adopted by the Eighth Ward
Republican Club which appear in another
part of this paper. They are well con-
sidered, and wise and just as to principles
and policy. That resolution which adyo-
Gates the recognition OF both the white and
black races in distributing the honors and
benefits of party relation is in accordance
with the principles of equity and justice,
and must meet the approval Of every fair
minded Republican.

IT is not probable that the Republicans
even of the State of Ohio are to sit passively
with folded hands and permit the Federal
officials to carry off the cakes without pro-
test and perhaps a contest. Time will tell
how the people view such things.

THE New York Commercials Adrertiser al
leges that the Custom House party OF that
city sis now moving Heaven and earth to
"secure delegates for SHERMAN" 1t does
not seem possible that such things can he
under the Civil.Service policy of the Adj
ministration, and what renders it all the
more doubtful is the fact that GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS has not sounded the
tocsin of alarm. If Federal official should
be even suspected of such violation OF
civil service he certainly would be heard
making the air vocal with his hideous out
cries of warning.

THE Detroit Eceaing Ne,os has great in

of turning the care of the Indians over to
the tender mercies ofthe Agricultural Depart

him on that account, it looks rs If the

GENERAL GRANT IN MASSACHUSETTS

GENERAL GRANT IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Ex-Governor boutwell, is very active
and outspoken in his advocacy of General
GRANTS nomination. He insists that the
patriotism of the country, the rank and file
of the Republican party, the churches and
the business of the country all demand
GRANTS nomination. He characterizes
those who are opposing GRANTS nomina-
ton rs handful of dilcttani who want TO
dictate to the party the terms on which
they will stay in it, Let them CO." he said,
" if they let the great majority of the party
shape its course" He declares that he
would rather be beaten with GRANT at the
election than to submit to the dctation of
scratchers, boilers and Germans. He be-
lieves that if we lose the next election by
these elements sloughing off, we shall have
strong, healthy party that will grow up to
power in four years by its own strength and
by the general cussedness" of the Demo-
Gratis.

best interests of the whole. They are not
the safest repositories of power, where the
destinies of the party are subjected to their
behests. 1t should be borne i'm mind at all
times that men in their individuality are
not the party, aud have no bnding-power
to control its interests. The true motto is,
principles not men, for "men change,
principles never and hence, that party
which iorgets its principles and bows at the
shrine of men undermines the real strength
Of its own power and sooner or later en-
counters defeat under the disorganizing in
fluenccs of faction.
We do not mean in this to deny to any in

the action of his party when it makes its
nominations, and to assert his personal
preferences up to that time. To denounce
and revile man because he is an office
holder is puerile and ridiculous. 1t is the
duty of the Republican party of this Dis
trict, therefore, to set its face against all
such nonsense, and to carefully guard It's
interests against those influences which led
those dependent Republicans in 1872 to join
the Democratic party i'll an effort to over
throw Republicanism, and hand the Gov
eminent over into the hands of its enemies.
Detection must be rebuked or it will ripen
into treason. With united front, when
the people of the District are repossessed Vi
the right of suffrage, as they must be
sooner or later, the Republican party will
be in unity and harmony with itself, and
prepared for both battle and victory.

A good deal of merriment was occasioned
just here by the entrance of the giraffe with a

''Necks, gentlemen shouted monkey

The giraffe said he didn't want any monkey

he was one of the missing lynx, which remark
gave offense to an animal whose lynx eye had
been watching the proceedings in fur-tive
way. He showed his contempt for the Joke,
however, as only lynx-skin.
The president reminded them that they had
entirely lost sight of the object of the meeting.
If they kept ON that way folks would think it
was an assembly OF newspaper photographers in
stead of dignifed body of animals consider
ing the subject of dress. After some further
discussion it was resolved that each animal
continue to wear what suited it best, and the
convention adjourned.

Man and His Hat.

The hat makes the man, says Berthelier a
popular French humorist. A man without a
hat, or hat without man, is an unfinished
piilar-a lid without jar. When you see a
man running in the street without hat, saws
Berthelier, you take him for a lunatic or a
thief; and if you find hat by itself OF the
banks OF liver, or on the corner of drawing
room table, you instantly guess at suicide, or
that man is hiding somewhere. Man and his
hat are two elements that-apart-rep
folly and chaos, and together make up an in
dividual. Show me your hat, cries Berthelier,
and can tell you who and what you are. He
describes the hat of the Spanish priest which
leaves the ears so free that the priest may hear
everything, but which throws the face into
deep shade; the hat of the das hing .mousquetaire
raised boldly and bra vely from the face, and
making no attempt at hiding; the famous
cooked hat OF Napoleon; the French kept, etc. i,
and III the course of his descriptions he makes
some admirable observat ons. Men always re-
tain, he says, the habit of style of hat they
nave worn Tor long when young. Some men
wear their hat on one side to their last day;
others tiit IL forward; the louis ram their hats
down over their eyes, while the men OF genius
are often compelled he says, to wear their hats
somewhat ON the back of their heads. because
OF the pumps that represent all the noble quail
tiles that rise up on the forehead and prevent
the hat being pushed on. The man of inteli.
gence IS forced by his bumps to wear his hat
on the back Of his head the man whose intel
ilgence is overpowered by his animal qualities,
Is forced to wear it forwar Ii a mans char

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 49, 1865
My Dear Sir,-Your favor of the 18th in
slant has just been received am much
obliged to you for information given and for
your flattering advocacy of my name in con-
nection with presidential honors. know there
was widespread effort last year to make my
name prominent in that connection. 1 think
the matter more spontaneous than directed.
How deep it may &be, will be told better
in the future. 1t has arisen, no doubt, from
the fact that Gen. Grant is to be apparently
the candidate of the radicals, and probably my
action as commander of Southern military
district may have had its share. am anxious
that the conservative element should triumph
over radicalism. l nave no ambition to be
President. l shall be gratifed if some one else
who can win, be nominated My future, should
l be in question, would be a mat er of serious
embarrassment as 1 have no profession but
that of arms, which would have been thrown
aside, ana possessing no riches. However, if It
be thought that L can win, and ct iers not, L

Mail Time at the Village Postoffice

Half an hour before the arrival OF the daily
mail they begin 10 come in--the merchant who
expects letter-the bla cksmth who thinks
he may possibly get one, the carpenter who
hasn't had one for year, but who still lives in
hopes, the laborer who hasn't the slghtes,
idea that he will ever get an, thing more inter
estine4ban circular advising him to insure
his life before it is too late, the farmer who has
friends out West or down East, and who can
confidently count his weekly paper any
how. As the mail boy arrives at the door
there is a ripple of excitement which extends
even to the barefooted boy who has been sent
down with the three big coppers to malta let
ter directed in cramped, old fashioned hand
Ohe can see by the way he looks at the jars
OF candy in front of the store that he is calcu-
lating on the risks of dropping the missive into
the river and investing the money where il
will do Uncle Sam no good.
There IS hush while the mail is being dis
trlhuted. The pampered aristocrat who can
afford t. pay box rent at the rate of forty cents
year keeps his eye on his particular box,
while the down trodden citizen who is COM

more chance he has of being favored. Just
