Tho following leaves from a daily Journal were found by our reverter ujon the banks of tho canal a few nights since, together with a pair of fine boots that had circular openings cut in tho leather over tho spot where tho toes wtHild naturally come when the boots .were worn. The fragments of a diary, .and the mutilated boots, contain a histtory of human agony, both mental and jphysical, that, though not rare, seldom rinds its way into print, and for that reason we give the portions of the diary publicity, trusting that they will thrill :st responsive chord in some anguishracked heart now suilering in silence. As to the mystery which surrounds the author of the journal, and this former wearer of the boots, who shall attempt to fathom it? He sleeps pin-chance beneath the waters of the canal, unmindful of the wealth-laden galleons of trade that pass and repass over him. lie heeds not tbo proud ship laden with -.hoop poles as she careens before the gale that strikes her in the stern and lorces her ahead ; nor the curses of her commander at the mule for allowing slack rope to accumulate oh his heels.

Went home and found four gentlemanly looking men reaicd in the parlor, w ho has called "on business of tue utmost importance," as they said, aod Angoline had invited them to dinner, supposing them to be acquaintances of mine. Alter dinner each one called me aside at different times, and asked me if my lire was insured, at the asmit time stuffing my pockets full of circulars, paraph letc and figures relating to their respective comjianies. 1 smiled at their eigernes and said 1 would see them again. Thoy pressed my hand warmly and said, " I doubtless would unless death intervened." 1 muti insure though, and oao company is just as good t another.

with ber satchel anil its contents strewn around her. I slammed the door, ran and jumped into the bed s suddenly that my wife, who hud dropped oil to sleep after the first alarm, awoke and joined her screams to those outside. 1 finally quieted her by si tiffing a pillow in her mouth, but tlio children hero set in with their yells, a two hundred pound policeman broke the t'ront door in, and, and but why continue the tale of my woe. Everything has ben more quiet today, and I. would Ih perfectly happy if those boobs I am trying to break in were two sizes larger ; but then Longfellow says " Into each Ufa. some rain must fall." Angeline says sho found the cards of six sewing machine 'agents shoved in under tho front door upon .her return from a neighbors to day. I hipe these industrious members of society do not contemplate a raid on mo. at present. I have promised Angeline

a hrst-cuns machine its soon as I can gel around to it, but that will not be for a month yet. If things keen on in this way I shall

be compelled to leave Cleveland and move out into the wilderness. The people are too sociable and business men too energetic for mo. The four insurance agents, a patent fence and w;nh tub man, and six Ijditning rod men, called at the store to-day to see about insuring, fencing, wash tubbing and rodding mo into a state of happiness and comfort. Mr. Grinder, my employer, said to me, '' You must not have your friends visit you during business hours, Jones," which made rue so vexed, I said To-day everything ran like clockwork until I arrived at home, when 1 found a team of dashing horses hitched to a couple of dwarf pear trees in tho front yard, and a bright red wagon tilled with ladders find things sitood in the middle of a bed of fuchlas and geraniums, a bull dog of the yellow variety and with teeth like a cross-cut saw, smiled at me from the door step, while two men upon the roof were busy tearing off shingles and driving hooks into the chimney. I mafic a careful detour and entered roy house to find , a black whiskered chap, smelling strongly of patchouly, leaning lovingly over Angel ina's shoulder, while she was engaged in practicing on a sewing machine. " What in tho name of all that is cheeky does this mean ? ' said 1. " Ah J'' replied old Patchouly, with a leer at my wire, " your husband, I presume.

Teace exists in our household once more. 1 have pacified Angelina on the sewing machine question, and we have formed an allegiance for offensive purposes against all enemies to our peaceful home and its happiness. A "small pox" sign kept the "agents" away for two days, but the milkman ana postman also forsook us, and we were forced to take it down. S nee then, by keeping the doors doubly locked and using a system of countersigns and raps when membere of the fi -mily desired ingress or ogress, the obtrusive visitors were kept at bay. How little I thought, ns I finished the entry in my journal yesterday, that instead of seeing the last of my troubles, they had not fairly commenced. Upon arising yesterday nuornini I found a benevolent-looking middle-aged gentlemn sitting in my library chair reading my morning paper. " How did you get in this house ?" I exclaimed. " Exctt'O me," he replied, " I borrowed a ladder ami ascended to your chamber window at daylight this morning, so as to bo on band and show to you one of the most perfect lightning rods ever mado."

Ho said that I bad known all the whilo that during tho tirat month of tho war ho mado brief publication of bin views, in which he said that " horopardod t the duty of citixons torospoct and maintain tho national authority and givo it an honcBt i.nd oarnsst support during tho continuation" of the war, until in tbo providonco of Ood it might bo brought to t.n honorable cim.ilntsion. lie did not undertake to quote a sontonco : rom this document, or tell whoro il: could bo ;'ourd, norgivo ODy description of it by which anyliedy could hunt it np. I must confess ibatlhavono knowledge of it, and am surjriHud to hoar of its existence. If ho pubinh.xl sr.ch a son timont during the war it has uscfiped everybody's recollection, and was lot opoatod by tiim at any subsequent timo durnn tho war, or lor years afterwards. Mr. Hendricks mado many speeches during tic war, and, so far as known, ho did not. in anr ono of thom advocate tho protwention of the war, suppression of the rebellion and nainteiianoo of the I'nion by force of arms. On tlio contrary, his speeches wore dovotod to ;he condemnation of the Government and critijism of evory w ar measure, and It must ho cii'l tbnt he spared bo argument that could possibly contribute to make volunteering unpopular and inscription necossary. And when conscription camo he denouncod it as unconstitutional, tyrannical and wicked. When Hi. Ilotidricks iainie that ho nan a War f)omncrat ho trilleo with public intelligence aud tho roco'loctioin- of men and contradicts tho ramrdod evidence of hisopii ions and astonishes hi a most intimate friends. Ho owed his election to tho United Btatet.

Ho says, ag an cvidonco that ho snpported tho war in 18GS. bo voted for the army appropriation bill. In, rogard to this I can say that at that time his vo.o for it in tho Senate was not n jcossary, ane'l it would ha vo required more political courage than Mr. Hendricks gtmcrally has credit for to havo jriven a vote In Cvngross against any appropriation for the arniv, and I t'iiink his friends and mine will agroe with me that this is the first time they ever hoard of that veto, and that ho has nover boasted of it boforo several T.eekn ago. Mr. Hendricks, in accepting his third nomination for (lover nor. aniiouncod that ho had turned his back upon the past for over, and looked only to tho future; but he seomed now :o bo not satisfied with turning bis back upon tho past, but ho is attempting to revorso the past, to oblitonite lr.s anti-war record, and appoar in the iiiterostiug;characterof a .War Democrat whoso labors woro crowned with success in the suppression of tho rebellion, all of which will bo received with snrpiso and perhaps indignation by his old friends, tho Sons of Liliorty. Another statement in his speech must havo sove-roly taxed credulity and recollection of his audimico, and for fear I idiall be suspected of miHreprosenting him I will quote tho passage. Bpcaking of myself, ho said : In a more recent apeoch ho has called my sincerity in question, in that-1 said I had turned

my bad! upon tlio past : wo stand in tne present, and only look to the f.iture. No fairminded ni.vi liiidotstaiids this language as a desertion of convictions of right, or an abandonment of eeeontial principle. This I may illustrate. I opposed thn amondments to the Constitution, for I thought thon as I boliovo now that during a civil war, and until passions excited thereby havo cooled, the public mind is not in pioj r condition safoly to change the foundations and framework of the Government."

Mr. Hondrfcks ;avo tho conntrv to under

stand that ho opposed tho twelfth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments only bocanso ho thought it was a bad timo to attempt to amend the C!onfr;itntion during civil war. and while passions wero excited, not that he bad ar.y objection to tho amendments fhomsolvos. This pretention is iiko other attempts to appear in

tlio character or a war Democrat It is perfectly notorious that Mr. Hendricks voted against and opposed the thirteenth amendment becauso ho was in opposition to tho abolition of slaves, not because of tho timo when tho amendment was brought forward. It is perfectly notorious that to voted against and

fought at every step tho adaption of the fourteenth aaioiiilmonl, bitterly denouncing ovorv provision of It as sttbvoreivo of tho spirit and genius of onr institutions. It is also notorious that he voted agaiimt tho ill ..eentli amondmont, denouncing negro euffrago and political equality in their consequences as humoral and deBtructivo of tmr institutions. It was because of

tho honor he entertained of dreadful conse

quences that ho advised t'10 Democratic members of the legislature of Indiana to resign in order to provont a ratification of tho amendment. I havo no objection to Mr. Hendricks ch.n -inghis opinions in regard to tho war aud

amendments and everything else, and tnrning his back upon tho past : but when he under

takes to reverse tho history of tho times aud

appear in a character whioh belongs to others, bo places those with whom ho was then in contact in a false position He and I woro in a poiitier.l conflict during the war, and if ho was in favtr of its prosecution I must have been agaiiist it, and tho next step for him to take logically will be to assert that I was opposed to the war and doing all in my powor to make tho robolUon a success, while he was in favor of it, and his efforts were linally crowned will,

My Dear Conservative Friend Hunker : Dear Sm : Your favor of tho 1st inst is just at hand, having boon forwardod to mo from tho ofllco of tho Now York Trilmne (an organ of which I am no longer organist), and was received by me whilo trimming trees (soo LetHe's of June 15), and I now hasten to reply from ttio top round of the ladder. As rogards planting tro3a for profit, and their management, I will say thore are sovoral choice kinds I would most roHpoctfullysnggost. First on my list is tho liuttonwood. From constant caro and study, I think I am competent to adviso yon intelligently concerning its culture. )ul tons, you know, aro a necessary articlo iu all well rognlatod families, performing a most important mission, and to cheapen thoir production has boon my chief aim m past years, Of the boat variety to plant, lot mo suggest the White l'oarl Ovoreoat variety. Thoy will bo in groat demand the coming yoar, especially thoso bearing tho monogram ' II. G." I can furnish yon grafte. Plant early. The man who told you thit thoy aro liable to got mppod by November frost ia a " villain aud a liar." Ironwood is a hardy growor, aud if our protection laws woro right (I mean to protect some industry -, soo Cincinnati aud ISaitiruoro platforms I am anchored on both), von might reap a rich harvest for tho manly perspiration that the cultivation of this brsuca of industry would necessitate. Plant out many of them. (Tho Froo-Trade plank in our platform is only "catch," you kuow.) A rich, loamy, limerock, bard-pan soil is best. Plant with roots down. The l'ig Iron variety I think most profitable Fruit the first yoar. When tho pigs aro sufficiently grown to roquiro no longer tho nourishment of the mother t ree, shako or club them off, ring thoir noses, and turn them Into your cornfield lato in the fall, whoro thoy will soon become exceedingly fioahy. No "trichina" in theue hogs, yon know. Rasswood is quite a faverito, but fish of any kind aro too ttuu. I have hoard "Boss ale" sookon of highly, but I know nothing about ale. A man who" had boon iu riy employ for years, and a vory trusty man, too, eaiu to nin, ' You'll know what will ' ail ' you after election," aud I told him this " civil sot-vice bureau" was insulted, and ho could take himself konco; and for thin doth ho now shout for Grant. Gratitude is indeed a lost virtue iu lam. Lot me spoak of Dogwood. This kind of timber has ocou profitable and annul varieties ruito popular. Iu certain high places tho bulI-dOK variety has boon much sought after, but onr deliverance fr m this " nepotic " dog end horo fancier who Iib held high carnival over our blending, prostrate forms, this vile man. whoso greatest pleasure is to drive a S::17Jf horso at Long Branch, whore honest men aro vainly seeking ofllco and cannot be iomfotd, men who hanker to show thoir couiitrfiSSn iwiw houost thoy are or would be in office, men who wanted to see him beforo the Baltimore Convention, that they might know who to vote for (if ho can't give them oflico). Countrymen, pause and reflect, but i.hank the honest yeomanry of our bleoding-at-ovory-poro country. tho Domi-Bepulihcaii. Tammany Hall, 'auada border, go out of thn Union quietly, on to ltichmord party.

HORACE UUEIiEI.

Tile Ttimuiany Candidate. From tho LanslnE (Mloh.) Ropublicnn.

Horace Greeley is now tho Democnitic

candidate for tho Presielency, anel is also

mo caniiutate ot lam many. As such lie

is to stand or fall, uml as such tho voters of this country, and especially that

class which has hitherto called them-

oi-iviai l.iueirai iiouone ins, nrc in a great measure to decide. Himself in tho past few years disgracefully connect with the, Tnnimtvny Ring, though Hank Smith and other Tninniiiny olliceholilMti, it i too iftj,i ta fimy tlml iu, js to all im .ins and purposes no longer a Republican or an exponent of Iteiiublican ideas. If he receives the voto of his own State, he receives it wholly through the Democratic party. If lie receive the vote, of any .Southern Suite whale er, he receives il through the exertion ot former slaveholders and rebel leaders. No better proof of this fact can lie given than that more than one hundred prominent rebel generals and notorious rebel leaders were delepates lo the late Democratic Convention at Baltimore. No stronger proof of this fact can bo given than the em pliatic declarations made by prominent colored delegates at the l'hihide'phii'. Convention that "it was enough for them to know that their former taskmakers and owners were in favor of the nominations at Cincinnati," now indorsed at Baltimore. They declurod there emphatically that "Gen. lirapt'v

little linger was more effectual in securing to them their civil and political rights throughout the N-mth than the

soul and body of any other innn could

be."

Hie Democratic party is aided by a small fraction of il'-publicam whoso

leaders tire mainly men who have held oili.ial p'is '.lion and made fortunes through the votes and inflnence of Republicans, but who turn upon the party

necause tney are no longer nepi in oifice, or unworthy men who failed to obtain office because they were not fit.

With them Miey take honest Republi

cans who are acting without deliberation. These men now sit down side by side with those whom they formerly

hated, for tho purpose of destroying the Republican, party and trampling in the

uust the men to whose votes and intlu

ence lliey are indebted lor too jiower they have been able to exert in the past

or to promuMi now to the Democratic organization. This so-called " reform"

campaign, il successful, can be made

such only by tho promise of the spoils ofollicoto hose who have indorsed this movement at Baltimore; anel these are notoriously the most corrupt men that havo I. Ad leading political positions in the country for the last thirty years. The appeals will be made to the same men who in lHli.'l incited the fearful riot iii New York city, quelled alone by ;he power of government. The Democratic leaders whom Gree ley has stigmatized as ''criminals, thieves, tind liars," aro now the leader of this prori4sel movement for reform, in our judgnent the" top 'wave has already liei n l cached. The rank and file of the Republican party 'are not to be dragged frcm their anchorage to the support of lTien who now throw oil' the parly armor and atliliato with elements

which th ay have formerly fought andj

proif ;-ise looespise. i here is nolionejsty, no moral sentiment, no real patriotism in the stwno outers from the Republican party who i ro personally urging their Republican neighbors and friends to place theni-elves upon tho record in favor of the Tammany Ring candidates, Greeley and brown. If this campaign, through the position of men who have- been trusted ami honored but to i urn around at this late day, like tho vipor, to sting us if from this class of opponent' it shall becomo bitterly personal in its nature, the Repuhl ean P'rty and Republican principles arc to be held blameless. It is not in human nature, to endure in silence the calumny and reproaches which are already bein.; heaped upon tho Republican party by these deserter ; and whatever bn-teriieis mty enter into the campaign, fhey alone will be held responsible, for it. Let every individual Kepublicaii voter uuilei-staud from the start that this movement no longer has claims upon him as a Republican. Iti in tho hands of the great Detntieratic party; i.nci tho fraction of Republican who, without any gootl cause, inauguted : t lie movement nt Cincinnati, aro swallowed up and lost, and will bo felt in the campaign only by the influerieo tliwy will attempt to exert upon their lato ccmrades and political asso

ciates. Tliov do this with the oxoecta-

lion, hope, ,ud promise of reward. The Democracy are expected, as in the Union movement of KS62. to nominate

one or two Republican deserters upon

tneir Mat?, ticket, it he will accept it, ex-Hov. lilair is their choice for Governor. This question of expediency elepends of coarse upon thesalary. Whether the Democratic party will make up his salary to $-1,01 il we are not informed. Whether George If. House will accent the nomination of Secretary of State, he himself is as yet unprepared to decide. These, are two nominations that the Democratic party, or at least a portion of thorn, propose to make upon the State tiokc; for the purpose of wheedling Republicans intei the support of the I cmocral ic party. It is a hard tight we have before us, but one we shall make successful, and thrust our opponents back to the wall a wo did in 1862, when l!y ron G. Stout headed the column of Republican deserters to the ''Union" movement. That movement recoiletl upon the heads of those who had inaug urat"d it. And when this battle shallhave been fought and the victory won in November, the Democratic party which has hypocritically laid aside its principles lit oreler to secure tho spoils of ollice and Ihe promotion of men whom vre have formerly trusted, will alink away to be heard of no more. This movement which Carl Ccburz, in a letter the Illinois Sia'e ConveutioPp declared lo prorube little except to place matters in a new jmeition for a sjcccmIhI movement in 1876, will be del'eatotl, Wo have too much frith in Ihe Republican party, and especially in those men who have foughtih buttle for twelio years pasl, asking no pay in tlio shape of political pi emotion or anything else except Iho approval of their own conscience for having done good work not only for llieiti'-elves but also for tiie American people. We believe that they will not Im-seduced from their

ioilty and allegianro, to the mpport of

Horace lirteley and tbe success ol Jammany. And let every man remember that this content is not one of Grant or Greeley, but involves great moral ernestiotn wbic'i wore brought to the front
