THE Richmond editors have proved to

Is it not somewhat humiliating that,

Gen. Runyon has been repeatedly asked in
the press of the State whether he is in favor
of the Constitutional Amendment, but as
yet he has maintained sturdy silence. The
question is an important one; one in which
the people of the State have deep concern;
and they earnestly desire an answer from the
man who so confidently solicits their suf-
frages. We repeat, therefore. the en-, ,Iuiry :
Gen. Runyon are you for tn. Constitutional
Amendment, or against it? Are you in favor
Of perpetuating the evil which has filled the
land with bloodshed and mourning, or do
you desire its abolition We beg to say to
you. General, that you have got to meet this
question. You can't shirk it, as you did
rebel bullets at Bull Run, by skulking in the
rear. This is the great living question of
the times; and you must be on one side or
the other. If you decline to avow your con-
victions, then you will be set down as
against this great measure of constitutional
reform-this proposition to obliterate the
curse and shame of American life and Amer
ican history.


Unlimber your batteries, General, and let
us know in what direction you propose to
shoot-whether into the ranks of loyal men,
or into those of slave-holding rebels

| Our Monmouth County Agricultural Fair,
which closed on the 2lst inst, was visited
| by more persons than were ever present at
any other time since its establishment. The
products Of the county that were exhibited,
testified to the rich fertility of our land,
while implements of husbandry and hand
some carriages spoke equally well for our
mechanical arts


The ladies' display of all kinds, and de-
scriptions Of plain and fancy needle work,
called forth the highest encorniums from
those competent to judge, and we are told
that it is often very difficult in this, as it is
also in the fine arts department, to bestow
special praise in the awarding of premiums,
since so many perfect and beautiful speci-
mems are exhibited


Not altogether an insignificant part in tn
entertainments of the Fair were the crack
Monmouth teams and single in harness."
as good many good people know, and those
who have the least taste for the "ribbons,"
or are at all interested in our superior stock
of horses, enjoy beyond measure the pleasant
excitement Of the course. At these Annual
Fairs thousands of people congregate, and
every part Of the county, and we may say
that every county in the State, sends its re-
presentatives, so that one desirous of seeing
his friends, and having hearty shake of the
hand and good word once a year, can 60 to

The campaign has opened most auspiciously
for the triumph of the Union party in New
Jersey. If it is CARED or with as much vigor
and energy as is now evinced, Marcus L. Ward
will be the next Governor of New Jersey and
the constitutional amendment will be ratified
But our friends must organize thoroughly and
without delay in all the wards and townships
of the State. There must be work done by
every individual in his own locality, and the
canvass must be made of the voters. If the
State and County Committees are ever so eff
fcient and active, that alone will not elect our
ticket. There are multitudes of honest men,
who have heretofore acted with thedemocratic
party, who are heartily ashamed of the compa-
ny of the copperheads, and tho leadership of
such men as Runy0n. Jack Rogers, and G,
Chauncey Burr. They should be visited, rea-
soned with, enlightened and brought into active
cooperation with us. In unity of action there
is strengh-in thorough organization lies the
secret of political success. Organize, Unionsts-

On Friday night last about IL o'clock, .
fire broke out in the upper part of the store
occupied by Messrs. Davis & Burtis, in this
village. Its timely discovery prevented "a
disastrous confagration. The close prox-
unity of other buildings, and the late hour
at which the fire took place, added to the
great scarcity Of water, were all favorable to
a sweeping fire. The loss was very light,
and fully insured. brs .f~


The fire was the work of an incendiary.
A reward Of $500 has been offereffor the
apprehension of the parties who set fire to
the building


And this brings the matter home to US in
regard to our condition in case Of large
fire. We think it about time that there was
some kind of fire organization and appara-
tus in our village. A fire engine probably
could be bought just now at low figure, As
many of the engines of the old fire depart
ment in New York are being sold. Who
will move in the matter?


The subscribers take this method Of return
inc their most sincere and heartfelt thanks to
their friends who SO promptly and earnestly
rendered them such invaluable assistance in
subduing the fire which broke out in their store
on Friday night last and shall ever feel that it
is owing entirely to their exertions that their
property was saved from total destruction.

Let it not be forgotten that General Runyon,
the copperhead candidate for Governor, said
in his speeches at Somerville, in Jersey City
and elsewhere last fall, when he was stumping
for McClelan


"No minion who wears the livery of Abe Lin
coin ought to be allowed to apprc ach within
one mi e of the polls on election day"


And he said this while the brave soldiers of
the Union were fighting rebels around Rich
mond and all the way from Chattanooga to the
sea- and while Abraham Lincoln was devoting
his most earnest labors to save the Union, for
whose sake he was finally murdered by disci-
Pile Of the secession, state rights school. II
Runyon had never uttered any other infamous
sentiment but this, he would have said enough
TO render him unworthy to receive the vote Of

bly, wore the livery of the Union the army and

AN UNCONDITIONAL PARDON. The n Y. Alba
ny Argus, speaking Of the surrender of Lees ar
my, and the consequences of such action on its
members, forcibly says:


The parole extended to the Confederate Off
GERS and troops is complete amnesty in its
terms, for political well as military offences.
"Each officer and man will be allowed to return
to their homes, and not to be disturbed by the
United States authority so long as they observe
their parole and the laws in force where they
may reside" With this guaranty Lee and his
associates Of his army are protected against any
trial for treason or any proceeding for confsca-
ton, though doubtless the civil and political
authorities may question the power Of the Lieu
tenant-General to grant such an amnesty. Mar
shall Ney claimed protection under the terms Of
the capitulaton of Paris, but was prescribed by
the Bourbons tried by the military commission,
and shot in the gardens of the Luxembourg
But this act was denounced throughout Europe
as an assassination and the guilt of it hung upon
and weighed down the returning dynasty through
allits reign.

Upon the shore
OF evermore
We sport like children at their play;
And gather shells
Where sinks and swells
The mighty sea from tar away.
Upon that beach,
Nor voice nor speech
Doth things intelligibly say;
But through our souls
whisper rolls
That comes to us from far away.
Into our ears


The voice of years
Comes deeper, deeper, day by day;
We stoop to hear,
As it draws near,
Its awfulness from far away,
At whatittells


We drop the shells,
We were so full of yesterday,
And pick no more
Upon that shore,
But dream of brighter far away.
And DER that tide
Far out and wide,
The yearnings of our souls do stray;
We long to 60


We do not know
Where it may be, but far away.
The mighty deep
Doth slowly creep
Upon the shore where we did play
The very sand


Where we did stand
moment since, swept far away.
Our playmates all,
Beyond our call,
Are passing hence as we too may,
Unto that shore
Of evermore,
Beyond the boundless far away.
Well trust the wave,
And Him to save,
Beneath whose feet as marble lay
The rolling deep,
For he can keep
Our souls in that dim far away.

THE DAUGHTERS OF CHNA.-The daughters
whom they condescend to rear, have sad and
isolated lot They remain shut up in the paren-
tai mansion, solely occupied with sewing and
housewifery. Wealthy parents give them assslight
education, but in general their educationi is con-
fined to their needlework. No public schools
are open for girls When they are old enough
to marry, their parents think much less about
their future happiness than Of their own private
interests, and solely endeavor to conclude a sort
Of bargain by selling themto the highest bidder.
Their father and mother-or, in default of them,
their nearest relaUons-e1ercise an absolute au-
thorty over the marriage Of the children; young
people are allowed to have no will in the matter.
Sometimes two friends bind themselves by an
oath to marry their unborn babes, if they turn
out Of different sexes The promise is sealed by
tearing their tunics, each giving the other the
portion rent off. Unions formed under such con-
dtions as these are scarcely likely to be of long
duration. Incompatibilities of temper soon de-
clare themselves, and the woman being the
weakest suffers the most, for the husband has
complete authority over her. He may ill-treat her
with impunity, and compel her 20 associate with
several secondary wives.

How TO FALL AsLEEP.-The great point to be

make it. venture to assure him that if he
makes it in good faith, in the manner described,
the promise of "a penny for his thoughts" i" or
for each of them while the operation is in pro-
gress, will add very little to his wealth. Such
being its effect, we cannot wonder that it should
bring sleep to a nervous and wakeful man at
night The philosophy of the matter is very
simple. A suspension of thought is to the mind
what suspension of travel or labor is to a wea-
ry body 1t enjoys the luxury of rest; the strain
upon its faculties removed, it falls asleep as nat.
urally as the farmer in his chair after toilng all

The N. Y. Herald says; President Johnson
is working most assduously and successfully in
the reconstruction of the south, and is bringing
back the late rebels to their constitutional al
legiance. He is working better in the south
than in the north in this labor, strange as it
may seem. The southern people are falling
into the loyal line with rapidity and cheer.
fulness never known under similar circumstan-
ces. The only obstruction to the presidents
wise and constitutional policy comes from the
yacobin element Of the north and his own Of.
6ceholders. Tho officials of the custom house
and internal revenue department are in league
with the Jacobin crew to throw obstacles in the
presidents way and raise row about negro
suffrage. The return of southern people to
their allegiance and their former prosperity
will be speedy and easy if the oficeholders and
Jacobins put no distractions in the way Of the
presidents plans as they seem 10 do.
