Judge Trimble-the immortal Trimble--


who is in the habit of making tour of obser-


vation prior to each annual election to hunt


up the Democratic party, has recently been


down the Des Moines and up the Mississippi,
| in company with some other notables of the
same persuasion to take the soandings. They


met with considerable encouragement at Ken-
| kuk, ana were SO flattered with the prospect


that before they left the city they determined d
Upon the success of certain contingency
TO organize. They saw over one hundred ne
groes in the corporation to operate against
and concluded to operate-provided they
could get the military to take the lead. They
| felt the pulse of some half dozen soldiers, and


regarded the symptoms favorable. Feeling
deeply concerned however, for the public


interest they were disposed to extend their
field of operation, and went up the river to
Davenport. Here they were further encour-
aged by the sight of more negroes. They
also felt the pulse of few more soldiers, and
determined to organize at once. A grand
Convention has therefore been called Of all
persons opposed to the negro becoming a
member Of the body polite, to nominate State
officers. The plan is for the old hunkers who
have heretofore led the party, to take back


seats and make no display, excepting as they
can do it without being known through GER
tain soldiers that they expect to make cats
paws of, who are to be placed in the front.


These old bankrupt partizans are very desir-
GUS to be pulled out of the mud, and to get
rid Of the odium that attaches TO them on ac-
count of their opposition to the Adminis:ra-
ton and the war, and If they can by deception
and fraud get q sufficient number Of the brave
boys to work for them, they have an idea that


their sins, in measure, can be covered up

BRIGHAM YOUNG is a man of about
medium height, with an immense
chest, giving assurance of tremendous
vital energy. His head is large,
forehead high, round and broad, his
hair and whiskers incline to auburn,
and though he is ca years Of age,
scarcely a gray hair can be seen, and
not wrinkle detected upon his red
expressive face. His nose resembles
the hawks bill, and his lips, firmly
closing, with bis blue and at times
flashing eyes, betoken the great force
and indomitable energy which he has
always manifested. As some one said
OF Napoleon, "he is one Of the favored
few born to command" He is also

Young's heart is forever still. In the

room for quarrels and law suits potent

BRYANT, STRAaToN & CoRBlNs BRIDGEPoRT BUSINESS CoLLEaE-Ihe Principals of the Bridgeport Business College take pleasure in announcing tu the public the success that has attended their school since it passed into their control. Owing to the large number of Students the rooms have recently been enlarged to af- ford accommodation for si1 Hundred Students. Many of our Students are already filling impor- tant positions of trust at lucrative salaries And now that peace is so near at hand, the call for young men. thoroughly trained tofill positions Tn the business world, must be greater than ever. All the southern channelsof trade which the war has closed for four years past are to be opened anew and resources developed which heretofore have lain idle, this will call for business talent which the young men ot the north must supply.

 Our institution is thoroughly National in it's character, and its efforts in behalf of education are designed to be widespread. It is our wish that the advantages of our College may be as widely known as possible, and to this end we propose to distribute Monthly devot to the interest of the College to all who may desire it.

 To any person who will send us the names and address of forty or more young men who would be likely to desire course of instruction at our College. we will send in return an e;i- graved poster containing elegant specimens of Pc nmanship from the hand of F. K. Spencer. The College Monthly will be sent free to such names as we receive.

IT seems to us that the lower house of
the Episcopal General Convention ut
Philadelphia must be ina rather un-
grateful frame ofmind, ifthey cannot
find it in their hearts to thank God, for
the re-establishment of the national
authority, and for the removal of the
great occasion of our national dissen-
sions and estrangement. At least it
would seem that resolution of this
character need not so deeply move SO
reverend and learned a body, as to lead
to scenes of disorder and tumult. Ii
would be difficult to express this just

GENTLEMEN: Your letter of yesterday,

what body or organization you represent, or
to give me the instructions or resolutions
committing the subject to you. This acci-
dental omission would be of no consequence,
since know you, both to be members of the
Union party of this State, and, though We
have scarce seen each other for some years.
have believed you to be personal friends of

currcnco in the principles which you and
the other loyal people of Ohio adopted in

the basis of united political action in the
coming State election, shall not be sufficient
to secure your votes.


Political organizations, like every other,
are founded upon mutual waving of some
articles of personal belief for the sake of
securing united and effective action upon
others which are avowsd as the common
creed; and the bond of union can hardly be
said to be kept in good faith when individ-

them, aud the time had not come when, in

Oh, have you still, through veal and woe

Mid cloud and sunshine, light and gloom,


Proved faithful to that memory?
You're roaming through the past tonight,
God grant that no reproaehfuI truth
Shall tell you that you've gone astray


From all that blest you in your youth!
If in the past sad memories lay,


That you would gladly now evade,
