WHY lie BECAME A SENATOR.


And when any senator charges that
the political course on this floor of
another senator would bo controlled
by the consideration of tho question
Of his reelection, it is an aspersion
upon his integrity rs senator, and
an implication that he will violate his
oath us such. When a senator allows
his official senatorial conduct here to
be governed by such motives as those,
it is better that his place should be
filled by another man; and let mo say
that do not hold the seat l occupy
here because I would have sought the
place which do hold, nor would I
have held it or have been q candidate
for it, but for the fact that I desired
to keep out others who were even
less fit to be hero than myself and
that could select in my State many
men at that timo who, if it had not
been for these very disabilities impos-
cd by the Fifteenth amendment,
would have stood on this floor much
ADLER advocates Of the principles of
tho Republican party, much stronger
men for the State of South Carolina,
and for tho United States, than l can
ever hope to be.


PRESCRIPTION PLAYED OUT.


But Mr.. President, 1 did not rise
to speak at any length on this bill. I
believe, as said when I began, that
the speech of the senator from Con-
necticut but re-echoes the sentiments
of the vast majority of the people of
the Republican party; and 1 believe
that the acutcness of the senator from
Indiana has in this instance failed
him, and that he has not sufficiently
studied the sentiment of the party Of
which he is SO distinguished On orna-
mont. [ think that when the people
speak on this subject, he will find that
he represents not that majority which
might have tho right to read minor
ity out of it's ranks, but that he stands
in minority which may rather ask
to be admitted to the orthodox plat
form of the party.

The following little paragraph con-
tains whole volume of truth and sug-
gestion, and if well studied and acted
upon, would prevent much unhappiness
in this world, and prove most effectu-
al remedy for. much that now exists:
sit is the easiest thing in the world to
be happy, if men and women would only
think SO. Happiness is another name
tor love, for where love exists in
household there happiness must exist,
even though it has poverty for a close
companion. Where love exists not,
even though it be in palace, happiness
can never come. He was a cold and
selfish being who originated the saying
that when poverty comes in the door,
love flies out the window and his asser-
ton proves conclusively that he had no
knowledge of love, for, unquestionably
the reverse Of the axiom quoted is more
than ever inclined to tarry and to bat
tie with the enemy. Let those who inn
agine themselves miserable before they
find fault with their surroundings, search
their own hearts for the true cause. a
few kind words, or little forbearance,
will often open the way TO Hood OF
sunshine in a house darkened by a
cloud of discord and unamiability.

FREEDOM OF THE PREsS.-A late issue OF


the Salt Lake Herald contains an article on


the Freedom of the Press" from which it


appears that the animadversions of that jour-


nal upon the character and qualifications of
one Judge Hawley have become exceedingly
distasteful to the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Utah Territory. From the article in
question it appears that that judicial function
ary has directed the Grand Jury peremptorily
to iudict the editors of the Herald. We are
not aware of the name of this learned Judge
in Utah, this "second Daniel come to iudg
ment," but would infer. from his pursuing such
a course, that he makes up in the length of his
ears what he lacks in the knowledge of the
law. We have fellow occupying the same po-
sitlon in Idaho who would make good match
for this Utah Solon, but the ermine did not
shield him from attacks through the public
press. If our Utah friends are burdened

| WHAT NEWSPAPERS Do FOR NOTHING


The New Orleans Picayune well remarks:
The best of all the work of the journalist is


that which he does for nothing. If any useful
public enterprise is projected, whether origin


ating with him or the fruit of some speculative


undertaking, the aid of newspapers is straight


way solicited. All incpient Joint stock prof.


ects, whether for building hotels, or establish


ing banks, or inaugurating universities, or or


ganlzlng insurance companies, or founding asy-
lums, or constructing railways, usually mani
fest their birth through the unpaid columns of
newspapers, and are by them fostered, fed and
stimulated until capable of self-sustenance.


Few germs of enterprise fructify in success


unless the busy hand of the journalist FIRST strs
up the ground of public opinion in which they
spring. He does more gratuitous work than
men of any other vocation. He is the servant
of the public and must bend his shoulders to
any load. He is the ally of all who engage in
public schemes, and must give his services
without pay, without rations, and generally
without thanks or appreciation.


1t is we'll enough for the public to be re-
minded OF these things from time to tme that
they may not forget the work which the Jour
nalst does without money and without price.
If we, as class, were to claim from public
institutions our full share in them according to
the work of hand and head which we have ex-
pended to build them up, it would be found to
be something more than the value of the little
reciprocity that Is generally conceded One
fourth part of the stock of all the railroads i'm
the country would be no disproportionate alot-
ment to the press for its agency in building
them. Many other schemes would never have
survived the pulling and sickly term of Infancy
except for the wise and watchful nursing of
the printer. Either to the tolerance or the
favor of the press many great fortunes of COM
panes or individuals are due. These services
claim need of gratitude which the spirit of
fair dealing should not ignore. Don't "muzzle
The OK" which has trOdden out your corn.

WEAKENING OF PARTY LINEs.-If it be true
that the Young Democracy of New York con-
template nominating Horace Greely for Cover
nor, the fact represents curious breaking down
OF party lines. This wing of the Democracy, if
the WOrld fairly represents it, aims to reform


local government as well as party management,
the latter being essential to the former object,
and the Republicans, who are powerless alone in
the city, may unite with them in municipal af-
fairs at least 1t would not be strange to see all
over the country, before the next Presidential
election, general breaking down of party lines,
and coalescug of the more honest and en-
lightened elements in both the existing organiz-
ations. This will happen unless the Republican
party, which is Unidentified with patriotic ideas
and the triumph of great principles, shall be re-
lieved, by movement within its ranks, of the
domineering of mere adventures and plumber
mongers, and shall everywhere exact a higher
standard of characters in its nominations So
many abuses have grown up that nothing but
over mastering considerations of patronism kept
it from severe defeats within two years past


The Democracy have been as bad when in power


and everywhere have been strangely obstinate in
adhering to exploded ideas.-San Fran. Bulletin

Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who'vc patscd to the other side,
The CLEAN OF their snowy robes ! see,
But their vaices are lost in the dashing tide.
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold.
Aud eyes the reflection of heavens own blue


He crossed in the twilight grey and cold,
And tbe pale mist hid him from mortal view,
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates of the City we could not see


Over the River, over the River,
My brother stands ready to welcome me.


Over the River the Boatman pale,
Carried anothcr-the household pet;


Her bright curls waved in the gentle gale I;
Darling Minnie, sec her yeti


She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark;


We watched il glide from the silver sands,
Aud all our sunshine grew strangely dark.


We know that she Is safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;





Ny childhood's idols are waiting for me.


For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the bOatnan cold and pale;


We hear the dip of the golden oars,
We catch a CLEAN of the snowy sail,


And 10 they have passed from our heart
They cross the stream and are gone for aye


We cannot sunder the vail apart,
That hides from our vision the gates Of day:


We only know that their bark no more
Shall sail with ours on life's stormy sea,


Yet somehow | hope on the unseen shore
They watch and beckon and wait for me.


And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,


shall one day stand BY the water cold,
And list to the sound Of the bOatman's oar;


] shall watch for the CLEAN of the Tapping z
shall hear the boat as il gains the strand, [saii


shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore Of the spirit land;


shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet shall the meeting be-,


When over the River, the peaceful River,
The angels of death shall carry mel

leisure in great plenty will do well to

Leisure is but a sauce of life, which
helps to make work more palatable
and digcstable-the one apart from the
other soon becomes disgusting. Men
Of leisure, as they are called, are most
commonly restless, 6dgety, and unhappy
men. The kindest thing which can be
done to them is to deprive them, ifpos
slble, by hook or crook, of the greater
part of their leisure. At first sight it
does not seen so, but very short cx
perience will prove that it is so. Much
leisure infers the absence of purpose
and life without purpose is a per.
petual burden.
