Our neighbor, of the Union, published a
very sensible article on the liquor question,
on the 10th inst, in which he said "a Ii
cense is granted for the purpose OF restrain
ing and correcting great social wrong
and vet he don't seem to believe his own
doctrine, for every day or two he has some
squib censuring the city council for reducing
saloon licenses to $l0o year; from all of
which we Judge that he thinks licenses are
granted for the purpose of getting all the
money we can out of the liquor dealers. The
object in granting licenses to sell liquor is
to place the traffic under restraint and con.
troll. The revenue derived is secondary
object, and the amount charged for license
should be governed somewhat by the profits
of the business. One hundred dollars year
is double what is paid in Chicago, and in
the present hard times for business, is all
the dealers can afford to pay.

From the Cleveland Herald, Rad)


One Of the most reprehensible features Of
party politics is that wherein Legislatures
call upon United States Senators 10 resign,
for the reason that such Senators are not
perfectly in present political accord with
such Legislatures. This misehievous prac-
tice came from the old jackson party. x Il
It was an every session occurrence, when
the regency reigned in the Democratic
party, for State Legislatures to instruct
United States Senator'S on some party
matter, and on failure to follow such in
structions, to order them to resign, and we
regret to see the Republican Legislatures of
some of the States following so vicious an
example.


1t strikes at the foundation of all indi-
yidual independence, makes a Senator
mere puppet of whatever Legislature may,
for the time being, be in power, and
absolutely renders nugatory the law that
declares a Senator shall hold his Office for
fixed period. In many of the States six
Legislatures are chosen during the term of
4 Senator, and in Others three Legislatures
are so chosen. What a mere farce would
the election of a Senator be, if each new
Legislature should compel a resignation
and hold new election.


The fixing of the Senatorial term at six
years meant something. Ii was intended
to remove that body from the dangers and
complications arising from Bhims, caprice,
or party preiudices of Legislatures II was
intended to give Senators such lease of po-
litical life as that they might in their action
safely look beyond the passions and excite
ments of the hour, trusting the sober second
thought for justification of their course.


Because some Senators unquestionably
m isrepresent their States, have Swung
around the circle" since they were chosenA
does not destroy the principles for which
we contend. To request resignation in
one case is to open the door to its utmost
limit, and there is no safety, even in the
hagrant case of disregard of the opinion of
the State represented, but to allow the re-
cusant Senator to serve out his term, and
to apply the remedy at the regular consti-
tutionai time for an election.

Social evils once submitted to, with stubborn
apathy as sort of fated inheritance, have been
found to be radicable, and have been removed
accordingly; and systems of oppression and
wrong, for which the authority Of Holy Writ
itself had for ages been pleaded, have fallen
before the advance of Truth in these modern
days. Human Slavery, once defended as Di-
vine institution, is tottering to its fall; and
horrid war; which men have been taught to
look upon as the result of the immutable laws
of nature, must eventually disappear before the
hrmanizing influences now at work in society.
IL may bc long time before this consumma-
ton is reached; but men who are neither
Missionaries nor enthusiasts believe that it must
come sooner or later. The sooner the better;

Whenever he has any news he gives

should follow the example. That agent has


done the President invaluable service. AT

Vet Vet What does it mean,


Upon yon soldiers faded coat2


His hand is hard and rough and brown,
see a scar along his throat;
His eyes seem looking far off still;


His close-shut mouth is firm and grim;
Mother, what means that little word,
Upon a sleeve so worn and dim?


1t means my child that rugged hand
Has welded musket long and well;


Has sent the iron thunder home,
And tuned the song of schreecning shell.
1t means that steady, staunch and true.
He fully won that ragged scar
While you and sat safe at home,
Aud read the news about the war.
What wonder if the mouth is grim,
That said so many swift ''good byesr'


Lifes comm on words are idle breath,
Beside those earnest battle cries.
What wonder if the gaze is dim,


And yonder stranger fingers yet?


The eye that has looked straight at death,
His image may not soon forget.


And that is what il means TO earn
The title Veteran on a coat;


To march through flood and field, or lie
Where rebel rifles swept the most;


To serve the guns in ride-pits;
To sleep beneath the silent sky;
To dream of home and wake to war;
To see eomrade drop and die.
| To hear and heed the fearful song
Which whistling minnie bullets sing;


To faint and fall, and longing lie


For one cool draught from rocky spring,


And this, my child is what it says,
That little word of letters three;


Go clasp his hand ahd give him thanks,
| For battles Won for you and me,

The st. Joseph (Mo. Herald has
the following relative to a former
citizen Of Ohio:


A false prophet has lately been
unearthed in our midst, with a his
tory replete in thrilling interest.
J. N. McHenry came to Ridgely,
Platt county, about year ago, from
Iowa. It is supposed that lie is
originally from Ohio, but his early
career is unknown. At Ridgely he
started a school, and met with sue
cess; he was at the head of all re-
forms, and particularly interested in
the subject of temperance he form
ed a large temperance society, and
by his own individual efforts had q
law passed by the authorities of the
town prohibiting the sale Of alco-
holic drinks within it's limits. From
the first he was constant attendant
on divine service. and in a few
months he became a communicate
Of the North Methodist Church; his
zeal was unbounded and his advance
mcnt rapid; soon he was appointed
the pastor OF the flock, and was
looked upon by all as the very per-
sonification of virtue and holiness.
AS a matter of course this pious


man was admitted into the first cir
cles of society; in fact friendly


rivalry for l.is favor sprang up in
the community. To one. house,
however, was his visits especially
directed, to the residence of a much
respected and comfortably provided


for widow lady, who lived in nretire-
ment with her only daughter-a
young girl just budding into woman
hood His suit was warm one and
his attentions were received with
satisfaction; her love was soon
gained, and her mother was but too
happy to confde the future OF her
daughter to the care of ber beloved
pastor; the marriage was forthwith
censummated and the newly welded
pair took up their residence with
their mother. 'l3 tan liiH vf
During the honeymoon, ,DIcienry
brought his bride to this CITY en- a
visit to her relatives; while here his
hypocrisy and wiclzedness we're first
manifested. He deserted his wife
aad sought the society of publicansl
and sinners; he was found by the
police in the company of harlots, and
in a state Of extreme intoxication


His wife was mortified and grieyed
beyond measure at this exposition
of the true character of her liegeI
lord, and contemplated an. immedi-
ate separation. The husband, how
ever, professed the most deep re
pentance, plead that it was his first
offence, and was pardoned.


Satiated with his triumph at
Ridgely, he painted for new field
Of action. Under a plea that he,
being known as a Union soldier, was
obnoxious to the rebels of Platte,
he persuaded his wife and mother
in-law to so with him to Wathena,
Kansas. There he established
fiourishing school, and his wife soon
regained her confidence in his
worth.


During the latter part of Septem-
Der last he borrowed all the money
in the possession of his wife and her
mother, and left home, as he stated.

wing it made mistakes on tie slavery
question, and lost the advantage CT
leadership. In its attempts to pre-
vent opinion advancing too fast it
fell behind, and there could not be a
more fatal blunder at present than
an attempt to carry the public opin-
ion Of the country back to the
point where it stood when, to
save the train from destruction in
moving down declivity, the Demo
cratic party went from the engine to
the brakes


It is SIMPLY too late. The de-
bauchee ofsixty, ,sha aking with ruined
nerves, and tortured with the hor-
rors, locks back to his youth, and
sighs that if he could only be rid Of
his nerves. and purged Of his deliri-
um, and if his veins were once more
filled with healthy young blood, he
might be q well man. The Wo,ZI
forgets that the best men of its
party left it when it fell behind and
became the tool Of the slave inter
est; that from that moment the
Democratic party has existed firstas
pander to slavery, and second as
paralysis of the loyal war. The
earnest, vigorous youth Of the coun-
try, inspired by the great idea of
liberty, have justly learned to asso-
ciate the name Of the Democratic
party with all that is reactionary and
anti-American. They saw that no
man could openly and heartily de-
nounce human slavery and remain 4
Democrat. When the war came they
saw that no man could wholly sup
port it as a hopeful movement for
human liberty as well as the Union
with out being discarded by the Dem
ocratic party. They read in the


World apologies for treason and
traitors rebelling to save slavery,
and incessant sneers at the President
and the Government, which, to save
the Union, sacrificed slavery. They
saw the Democratic opposition to
the draft, to taxation, to all vigorous
efforts for National safety. They
saw the Democratic party .in the
East nominating Thomas and Hora-
ito Seymour, and in the West VAL
landigham; and finally heard it
shout with eXultation at Chicago
that the war had failed. This was
the Democratic party before and dur
ing the war, deserted by the older
men, who had given it conscience
and a true popular sympathy, and
despised by the younger, whose po-
litical life began with the campaign
OF 1860.


And what do we now see? The
Chairman Of the Democratic Nation
al Committee is August Belmont
one of the most notorious of Cop
perheads during the war; the man
who rebuked a young Union officer
for his natural wrath with an English
nobleman who wore a rebel badge
in NJ Belmont's house--the facts of
which were made public at the time.
In the State of Ohio the political
campaign just ended was conducted
for the Democrats by Vallandigham
and Pendleton, and Judge Thurman
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor was Copperhead Of the same
school. The Chicago Times, a rebel
sheet through the war, and of un-
changeable malignity, is the chief
Democratic organ in the Northwest.
