The REPUBLICAN PARTY.-For some time
past, the San Francisco Flag has strongly
urged the name of republican and the crea-
ton of a party under that distinctive title.


The name Republican is dear to us from
old associations. We are glad now to think
that we were among the first, who trained
under its banner more than ten years ago.
amid the SCOTS and .ieers of the rabble, and
we are happier still to have lived to see its
principles honored, respected and in the
main triumphant. The Republican party
was based upon the broad ground of univer-
sal liberty. That party entertained new
ideas, believed in progress, in the principles
of Justice, in the morals politics, and that
liberty was something more than name.


whats in a name ?'' :" Republican" is
pleasant to US, but the principles of repub-
iicanism are dearer still, and we are con-
tent to labor for the Advancement of any par
ty which is imbued with the spirit of social
order and good government.-D -Doionieoitte
Messenger.


The Flag copies the above with the evi-
dent intention of proving by it that the
Flags policy of organizing third party, to
be known as the Republican, is endorsed by
one Union Journal in the State. We cannot
see it as the Flag sees it. The last sentence
in the paragraph reads just as the Flag
should write, and Just as every true Union
journal throughout the land does write.

THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL DIsTRIoT.-We invite the
attention of our readers to the card of Judge
George P Deweese, which will be found in another
column. The judge expected to have been ap-
pointed by the President to preside over the U. s.
courts of the western district of Louisiana, and
was not, only because Congressional legislation
made but one U. S.Gjudicial district of the whole
State, and Judge Durell, already appointed to the
eastern district, had the former western district
merged into his jurisdiction. Such an opinion as
this manifestation of appreciation and confidence
on the.part of President Johnson must show, would
be an ample guarantee of Judge Deweese's qualif-
cations but besides this, we hear him highly spo-
ken of by old Louisianians, and we have no doubt
he will do full justice to any law business that may
be entrusted to him.

DEMOCRATIC PURPOSES AND PobECY,a


4 And let us inquire what measures the
Democratic party are for affirmatiyely.--
1t is and has been opposed to whatever the
Union party is in favor Of but it has also, a
positive and affirmative policy, which it's
important that the people should under
stand. The great and leading measure ,oi
its policy is the immediate and uhcondi-
tional admission of a full representation in
both Houses of Congress from the rebel
States; that the test oath shall be repealed
that there shall be no political or civil dis
abilities imposed upon any man who has
been engaged in the rebellion; that there
shall be no amendment TO the GoHstitu-
ton to m axe it conform to the changed
circumstances of the nation; that there
shall be no legislation to prevent the reOc-
currence of future rebellions; bat that
Union men and rebels, Union soldiers and
rebel soldiers, shall-be put upon perfect
equality before the law, and that no hon
ors or reward shall be extended TO the one
which are not equally bestowed upon the
other In proof Of this last position, lei

One night at late hour Dr. Bentley
was disturbed at his studies by a rafting
sound among some wood, which, sawed
and split, had been left by the teamster,
the afternoon previous, too late TO be
properly housed. He arose, went eau
tiously to the window, and saw a
woman filling her. apron with wood,
which she hastily carried away. He
resumed his seat and commenced his
study. Shortly after the same noise oc-
Cured; and on looking out second
time, he saw similar operation, the
woman filling her great apron to the
utmost limits of its capacity. When
she had gone, he returned to his book
with tender pity in his heart for des-
iitution which sought relief in this
lonely, dreary, not to say sinful manner.


By and by he was startled by heavy
crash of falling wood, and, hurrying up
to the window, beheld the poor woman
casting the very dust of the wood from
her apron He remained, motionless,
his gentle heart filled with commissera-
ton. She swiftly departed, and soon
returned heavily laden with the wood
which she threw on the pile as if it were
the accursed thing.


The doctor compassion and curiosity
were now intensely excited. He fol-
lowed her retreating figure till he dis
covered her residence, and thus ascer-
tanned who she was What she was, was
no mystery TO him. The last hour had
shown him her virtues lofty hight He
called early the next morning ou Mr.
B, the wood dealer, and directed
him to send half cord of his best
wood, sawed and split to Mrs. -, but
by no means 10 let her know from whom
it came which was readily promised.
Mr.. BIS teamster, who happened TO
be within ear-shot, though out Of sight,
was not so bound, and, when he tipped
the wood into the poor widow yard, re-
piled to her eager inquiry, who had sent
it, by relating the conversation he had
overheard.


The conscience stricken mother, feel
ing that her sin and repentance in the
lonely darkness of that midnight hour,
were known and understood by another
heart beside her own, FASTENED to the
house Of the benevolent man, to express
her gratitude and her sorrow, and with
deep humility and bitterness, told him
the temptation TO which her extreme
poverty had reduced her, of breaking the
eighth commandment


Though my house was dark and cold,
though my heart was wrung with anguish
at the sight of my poor, shivering little
ones, could not keep it; my conscience
would not let me"


Say no more, my dear madam" said
the good man. Il saw you conquer the
devil in two fair fights.

1t is with great pleasure that we notice
disposition on the part of a large number of
our property holders to improve their pre-
misses. Messrs Webb 4 Weisiger have made
the square opposite the town common by far
the most beautiful one In town. Lower down
on Hull street, Mr. Abbott has built Il very
commodious house, and Il great many others
are painting and building. We are inclined
to believe that ere long Manchester will be-
come one of the most picturesque and convent
ent towns in the State.


TIE CoTToS MILLs.-We regret TO learn that
a total suspension of the Manchester Cotton
and Woolen Mill, known as the "Old Mill,
is in contemplation. We trust, however, they
may be able to continue i'll operation, as great
many deserving people are dependent on their
employment for their daily bread At the
James River Manufacturing Company New
Mild the hands are only working two thirds
of the time but we hope that ut no distant
day they may be able TO resume their old syS-
TEN of work. Should the mills be compelled
to suspend totally, there is no calculating the
amount of distress that must inevitably fol-
low And we heartily wish that such II
calamity may yet be avoided.


THE ELECTION OF TRUSTEES In view of the
near approach of the election for Trustees,
every man is advised to pay his town taxes.
The amount is small, and the right TO vote
NAV be ques toned when they are not paid.
There will be obstacles enough in the way of
the working without this, and no excuse msst
be allowed for the rejection of Il single vote
There is some talk of 4 large importation Of
outside voters but we believe that if the men
of Manchester will only be true to themselves
and to each other they can carry the town i'll
spite of all outside influence. But by all
means pay the taxes, not only to increase the
revenue OF the town, but to qualify yourselves
to rcbuke those who would ride rough-shod
over You.

TgE SANITARY COHDITIoS or THE ClTY.-A'
the last meeting of the City Council the
monthly report of the Board of Health was
presented, AS was also memorial from the
Richmond Academy of Medicine in relation 10
the sanitary condition of the city. Both aocu-
meuts express the same views ana make the
same recommends tions, and 1t Is gratifying 10
find that the Board of Health express the same
opinions as those emanatng from the collcctl'e
wisdom of the Medical Academy. Frequent
domiciliary visits, the liberal use of dlsih-


fectants, and the constant inspection OF drains
and sinks, are strongly advocated, with the
single difference that the Board of Health pro-
pose that the inspections be made by the pohce'
while the Medical College advise that they be
made by regularly appointed health officers
I l is probable that the latter plan Is the best,
as the police have already duties enough to
fulfil; but whichever plan may be adopted, 1t
IL certain that all our citizens will do every
thing in their power to carry out the wishes OF
those who have the sanitary condition OF the
city In their charge. There will be no jealousy
or souabblins-ws are all working 70 accom-

plish the same purpose: and whatever health
ordinance may be passed n the next meeting
OF the Council, it is certain that all the profes
sional and non professional men in the com
munity will exert themselves to make its pro-
visions beneficial and efilcacious. There can
be no objection to an increase In the number of
the members of the Board of Health but
every man must, to 4 great extent, be the
health officer for his own family, and if each
one of us will keep his own house in order, we
can afford to meet the coming cholera without
fear or panic.


We also notice that DR.. Hancock, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Health, advertises for
thirty carts, teams, and drivers, and thir-
ty-five laborers, to be used in cleaning the
streets and alleys of the city.

RAISING THE WRECK OF THE PATRICK HENRY.
On yesterday we noticed the United States
Government wrecking steamer Jean Sands
making preparations to raise the wreck of the
steamer Patrick Henry, which was blown mp
and sunk at the lower wharf at Rockets on
the Sd of April, 1863 The steamer has every
facility for raising the largest kind OF wrecks,
and commenced with the lk-inch iron cable,
connected with the wreck. She has also a
diving man regularly employed, and on yes
terday we had the pleasure of seeing him with
his armor on, consisting of a helmet, or head
piece like n smoke stack, with breast and back
plates of lead, and thick, heavy lead bottom
shoes, make descent under the water, where
he remained for some ten minutes TO find ont
at what point the cable was attached to the
wreck, which he did with perfect accuracy.
The performance was witnessed by large
crowd, who were no doubt startled al the idea
of man walking about ut the bottom of the
river. AS it will take some days TO raise the
wreck, persons will no doubt avail themselves
Of the opportunity to witness the great curl
osity of q diving man."

The New York EUening Post pays the
following high compliment to the untiring
vigilance Of the Government in its pursuit
and capture Of SURRArT:


"The story Of the wanderings and final
capture Of John Surratt, Of which we print
the details elsewhere, is strangely interesting.
The wretch, though not captured until nearly
twenty months after the commission of his
crime, spas scarcely ever, during all that time,
out Of The sight Of Justice.


"An obscure person, known to few, and
those for the most part likely to keep his Sc
cret; supplied with money as now appears,
both in this country and in England by secret
friends, or more probably by persons who
were privy to the assassination plot, and
whose own safety made it important that
Surratt, the chief agent in their plot, should
be put safely out Of the reach Of justice; hid
den away, finally, in the least likely place in
the world, as private in the Pope's army,
he was yet totally unable to conceal himself
from the sioto but sure pursuit of Justice,
aOhich follot0ed him tcith the relentless eyes Of
aJate"


In the following paragraph the Post is mis-,
taken:


How came he to select the Roman army
as his place Of concealment? II is scarcely
probable that he, an ignorant person, knew
that we have no extradition treaty with the
Papal Government"


The Post is mistaken in supposing that
SuRRArr is an ignorant person." He was q
graduate of Georgetown College, is quite in
telligent, and knew better than any other
person just where to go and for other reasons
than the fact that we have no extradition
treaty with the Papal Government" 1t is
sufficient for the present for us to know that
he aoas allo,ced TO escape The Papal author
itteS and that we are not under any obliga-
tion to that Government for his capture. To
Gen. KING and the Telegraph are due all
the praise
