"GATH" says it is agreed that the
political novel, "A FOOLS Errand.' was
written by Judge Tourgec, who went to
North Carolina after the war and lived
there twelve years. It was offered to the
Tribune for 81, 900 and declined. It has sold
10000 copies. Gath read the book through
and supposed it might be the work of
Daniel G. Chamberlain, late governor of
South Carolina, man of mental accom-
plishments and ambition and decidedly the
strongest of the carpet-baggers, except in
courage. This book shows that the
greatest novels-those which leave a per-
manent impression-are not intrinsically
literary productions but are the result of
personal experience. When Cervantes
gave the last blow to knight errantry he
was an obscure fellow and now New York
will erect statue of him.

How brooks rejoice ara glitter,

Printing Uuder Difficulties.

The WI Of The People is the title OF
the organ of the Nihilists in Russia. 1t
appears in the most extraordinary way
in unexpected corners, and when least
looked for. They say that it is con.
stantly to be found on the toilet table of
The emperor and under the pillows Of
statesmen and generals. The manner
in Which this curi)u3 organ is lrinted
Is described at length by the St. Peters
lnurg CORRESPONDENT # the Manchester
Guardian. The office is a gloomy,
misorablo room at the top Of house in
a poor locality. On the door is an an
hcuncement of some fictitious trade.
The room is occuFied by apoor wretch,
once a stuNent; it is w~retchedly fur
nishcd. The bed occupies prettynemly
the entire room. Everything is mean
and squalid. The owner of the apart
ment is editor, compositor, reporter,
printer and publisher. Under the mat
tress of the miserable bed The type is
hidden. Thence, when occasion offers,
it is transferred to the multituGinous
pockets of his great coat. He goes out
into the streets with diminutive note
book, hangs about public buildings,
flares at people in authority, whom he
would kill if glance could murder,
writes his "leaders" in a secluded corner
of a park, and rolls each page into a
pill TO be swallowed on the approach OF
II policeman. As soon as the work is
finished he steals home, locks and bar
the door, gets out his type and
sets up the paper, which he afterward,

was reported to tie cabinet by the secre-
tary of war to-day. 1t was decided that
the. policy already existing as to holding
hostiles as prisoness of war and confsca.iug
their stock, covered this case. The cabinet
devoted some time to discussing the adyisa.
bility of issuing proclamation removing
the discriminating charges with reference to
Chinese commerce. Secretary Sherman
favored such course, b. I, at the suggestion
of the attorney. general, who is also acting
secretary of state, action was postponed TO
allow him time to consider the matter. The

Parties and Parties.

There are Democrats and Democrats
There are Republicans and Republicans.
There are parties and parties. Democrats
who believe that to elect a Republican Pres
ident means the destruction of the republic,
and Republicans who believe that to elect a
Democr4tic president means the triumph Of
conspiracy against the union and the nation
al government, are morbid partissns, and if
numerous, may prove very dangerous ia
natics. Parties that are mostly, or wholly,
held together by the'cohesive.power ofpublic
plumber" are necessarily fruitful of political
corruption, and are essentially unworthy to
rule. But there are other Democrats, other
Republicans, other parties. At least we
must recognize this to be the case, or utterly
dispair of the country. If we are to cherish
a firm and living hope of the country, we
must rest that hope in the conviction that
the average American freeman, though the
adherant of one or another disntictly named
and visbly organized party, is first and last
an intelligent, conscientious, .true-hearted cit.
izen. Such citizen, whcth-r Democrat,
Republican, or Greenbacker, must belong
to the purest of all, the best Of all, the most
useful of all parties. This party is without
name, without an organization, without a
leadership, without a platform distinct from
the elements of natural justice, the funda.
mental ideas of republican government and
the dictates of supreme public expectancy.
Its members are under no etipulations to each
other. They are under no disc pline with
respect to poiititsl contests but the discipline
ofindividual conscience. They are under no
pledges to accept without question
and as conclusively obligatory the
platform or the nominations Of
any convention. They think for themselves,
observe for themselves, inquire for them.

The acknowledge the right of no poll ical
priesthood to prescribe for them as to ether

ments, no passionate preo'cupations, as par
tisans to blind them to their duties as citi
zens, they are not carried away wildly by
electioneering appeals, and on election day
they deliberately vote for the man or the
policy they deem best calculated to promote
the good of the commonwealth. The power
of this party, though always more or less ar
unknown quantity, is the terror Of selfish
and designing politicians. 1t is 9
shadowy but redoubtable presence that may
dash all the calculations OF the machine en-
gineers by vetoing caucus arrangements

some acceptable independent candidate

The Members OF Congress and the
Frauking Privilege.

Washington, Aug. PA rather singular
order has emanated from the post.ofiice de-
partment pertaining to the franking privilege
for members of congress. The labor O.
signing each package sent out through the
mails became long ago too troublesome fol
the average member, and so of late years
many members of both houses have used
stamps for Thanking, upon which were cut
fac SMILES Of their signatures. By this de-
vice Il clerk could frank thousand docu.
ments at very little expense either of time OF
labor. Now the postmaster-general has
decided that no matter can be franked unless
i, bears a genuine signature.
