"DOCTOR JOHN." "A doctor's life is a strange onol" muttered, Dr.' John fiessman, as he jumped "into bJh carriage, takiag the reins from the hands of the grinning Ethiopian who, for the last tweaty minutes, bad been cherishing the fond delusion that he was to accompany his mastern srotd of professional in- , "Not this2 time, Ebony," said the doctor, with a good-natured shrug of his broad shoulders. " You shall come to-morrow, noting the look of disappointment in the boy's face. Br. John was more tender of his servants than some are of their wives. "Oh, never mind, mass a, never mind V replied Ebony, like the average human, quite forgetful of his anBoyance when the subject of consideration was distasteful. ,lI knows what 'tis. I- jhst knows what 'tis," added Ebony, as he watched the carriage out of sight. "He's got one of his spells, and wants to talk to hisself; I knows him of old. If 'twas anybody but Dr. John I should say, 'Ebony, ths.t man has got softening of the skiUL' but no such nonsense can behddi on him." Dr?JlnJid want to3be Jone, or as much alone as a man could "lie in the streets of a crowded city, and he djd want to talk to himself. fllSst men who are in the habit of communing with their own souls, do it in audible langonger so in this respect, whatever he might be in others.

stone mansion, where one of his best

(pecuniarily speaking) ,sid moat fash

ionable patients resided. Here Dr.

John was employed by the year; and

aunouga me position was uo sinecure,

on account ot the amount of patience required to battle with the nervous fancies of the principal invalid of the es

tablishment, stall, Dr. Jtobn, to use his own .telling vernacular, considered it

-'an exceedingly soft thing " and, soft

it, was, in more senses toon one. Dr. John walked right up into the

invaiicrs ensmoer.

" Oh, good morning, doctor. A little late, aren't you ? Seems to me I have

been . waiting an unnsual length of

time,' drawled the lady from her luxu rious couth.

"About the usual hour," replied Dr.

John, wrtn no special show of defer

ence. "What eems to be the matter this mcffing? '4' " Now, really, doctor, thin is too cruel.

Matter this morning I Do you remem

ber what was the matter yesterday?

Flense don't be so blunt. You shock

my nerves terribly."

"Let me see," said the doctor.

" Yesterday, according to your own admission, vou were tagged out wHh s

fashionable psrty and a late supper, That, of course, cannot be the case to

dav.' j

" I know I shouk1 not have attempt

ed it in my weak state, doctor. I know

just what yon will think of it," sighed the fashionable woman, from her

downy bed. "But then you men never Will understand what society demands of us women. Dear Esfcdle (dear Etelle wm h tavftiid's (UMUjhUr) had

quite set her heart on going to Mrs. Donk's reception. Of crurse I could not allow the dear child to go unat tended, and, bless your heart, Dr. Ilessman, the girl's father would not accompany her to a party if she fell dead in consequence. Oh, Lord, such a time as I did have about it, trying to induce Mr. Waters to escort her. I really believe that scene had more to do with my suffering than the party had. Dear me, tuch a set man as Mr. Waters ie I I toli him says I, William, this may result in my death 1' Say hr, ' When a woman sets to be forty year old, and

wajaQn't knovr enough to take care of hr

awn health, ana tne neartn oi ner cuudren, it is lime she died ;' and then, doctor, he lit his cigar and puffed out of the house. I tell you this because 1 want you to know what has so unnerved me, and that you may not li.y it all to the party. Estelle is qui ill, too, doctor, and when you have written out my prescription, 1 wish you would walk into the next room and see her." Dr. John knew that something must bo administered or his professional reputation be irretrievably ruined, so, with a quiet smile playing around his large mouth (Dr. John's mouth was really very large, and truth compels us to state that he had an underjaw to match, though the rows of unexec-p-tionally white and even teeth, and the silken chin-covering, glossy and soft as a woman's hair, entirely redeemed the lower part of his face from ugliness), the physician wrate the few necessary Latin words, among which aqua seemed really the most conspicuous, and then passed into the other room. The doctor knew what awaited him. This little game had been tried more than once before. "Good morning, Miss Estelle," siid Dr. John, approaching the sofa where the languid beauty reclined. " Your mother tells me you are ill." liiss Estelle, with an almost impatient gesture, brushed away the floating hair from her temples, carelessly, and reaily unintentionally, it would seem, baring by the motion one of the most beautiful ai ms that sculptor ever taved about, and replied :' "Your manner sterns to say, 'Miss Estelle, you are always ill.' Why don't you behave yourself ?" "Oh. how hannvJ should be, Dr.

John, if you would once in your life be

kind to me. I do really think some

thing is the' matte with my heart. What if I sfduld die?" No picture of Watteau's could ever have ben mere witching, more charmingly colored than the little form before him. Every accessory of toilet had been brought to bear upon the citadel of his heart ; and to a handsome woman no dress is so becoming as the negligee of her boudoir with its lace and fantastic embreidery, slippered feet, and graceful posture. Then the vases filled with flowers, the mirrors, aud jewels, and enticing lolling chairs. Ileigho I many a strong man has bowed to such a shrine, and made it fool of himself for life, when in the glare and glitter of the drawing room no BUijh nonsensu would have been thought of. Dr. John acknowledged the beauty of this picture, it was dainty, piquant, dangerous. It had been dished up to hjm on several pre vious occasions, but never so much to his mind as now. The beauty 's manner waB earnest, and almost supplicating. What man could fail to be appreciative under such circumstances? Remember too that Dr. John was praying to be loved bad that morning almost prayed that heaven would send him a little bundle of comfort in the shape of a good wife, and it will not be strange that, notwithstanding the efforts previously made to entrap him, be should think only of the present loveliness. "What are you rending, Miss Eatelle?" asked Dr. John, fetter s. moment of ap

preciative scrutiny. "Wilson's Essays, eh?" and the doctor's face showed all

the surprise and pleasure felt by its

owner. "Ana upon my word, it here

isn't Emerson, ft, at is healthy food

rather heavy, though, I should think,

for a sick girll"

Hiss iiatelle drew a long breath. i or

the first time in the twelve months of

trial had she received one word of com

pliment or condemnation from the man whom her mother had determined she

should marry.

"And as true as .1 live, another book

under the pillow. Really, I have some curiosity to know the title of that volume, also," continued the doctor, al

most caressingly.

"Oh, it is notnmi?," replied the would

be invalid, languidly, "but a stupid cookery book that I got from the library. Mother depends upon me, you see, for our desserts, and I can tell you

thftt sometimes my ingenuity is sorely tested."

One little hand tucked the volume

further under tha pillow, while the other, unconsciously, of course, dropped

upon the doctor's with the white, jew.

eiea nngers lying or. nis, lbs lair, dazzling face upturned, ihe words which would have doomed him to mhery all

the days of his life, were spoken,

How wonderfully and providentially

little things sometimes appear to Bave

trcm desolation ana death! The hand with which she hs.d striven to bide the partially-consealecl volume had, strangely enough, lifted the frill of the pillow,

ana disclosed ootn title and author,

one of the most mischievous and reck

lessly. written books ever translated into

the bngluh language.

ror a moment the doctor sat silent

with horror and s.stoaishment. No. so

much that the young woman before

him bad developed a taste tor such lit

erature, but that she could so unblush ingly lie to him.

"I do not thiisk," said he, at hist, "that you need a ay medicine. So you

have my permission to study the cook- I

book under your pillow as diligently as you may feel disposed. It is pleasant to know that fashionable young ladies are possessed of euch domestic und literary tastes. Good morning, Miss Waters." Dr. John passed out of that abode sick at heart. "I came very near lo.;ing myself in that trap. What confounded fools men are!" The thought was rather humiliating, and Dr. John was unable to shake it off during the day; and, when he turned his horse's head homeward, it was with a feeling of diagust and loneliness never before experienced. "Pretty much all alike, I'm afraid," he continued softly, to himself. Just then a little figure in the middle of the street attracted his attention. A child, to all appearance, not a day over live years, with uplifted arms stood, heedless of danger, looking into his face. Quicker than I can tell Dr. John had jumped from his oarriftgpf seised

the little creRture, and placed her on the seat beside him. "You were in great danger, my dear," said the doctor, looking down into the singularly sweet and intelligent face. "What made you stand in the middle of the crowded street?'' "Are you a doctor?" was the only leply vouchsafed. "By profession yes, little misB, and by name John Hessman. Have you any commands for his highness?'' "If you are a doctor I want you to go home with mc, and if you are not, please toll me vrhero I can find one. My sister Kate is sicii awful sick aud she talks and sings all the time; and I haven't got any money neither has she; but she will die if somebody don't come." "1 am a doctor, and will go home with you, little darling," said our friend, involuntarily drawing the sobbing child toward him. "Don't cty; I can help her if anybody can." Before hey arrived at the residence of the sick girl, Dr. John had discovered, by skillful questioning, that ttie child's name was Florence Britton the sister's, Kate Britton; that Kate wrote stories, and made reports, and sometimes had to be out late n.t night taking notes and preparing articles for the press; that she had not been well during the winter, and lor the last three weeks had been unable to attend to her literary duties, and was now suffering from brain fever. The room which the doctor entered was plainly snd neatly furnished, and bore unmistakable marks of refinement and taste. "Kate," said the little girl, climbing into the bed where her sister lay moaniDg with pain; "sister Kfite, I hf.ve l.Tought a doctor to see you. I found him in the street, and ho says he can make you well. Look at him, Kate he is very kind." "Cuddle right down beside me, Flory, darling. There, that's a good little girl. Go to sleep; don't mind sister Ko.to, she's only got a head ache. Say your prayers, Flory, say your prayers, murmured the girl, even in delirium thoughtful of her precious charge. H ere was a case to rouse Dr. John's energies a case which appealed to his sympathy and respect a case, so far as he was able to judge, of utter loneliness and destitution. So, like the good man he was, he sat himself to work in giod earnest.- A good nurse was procured, necessary articles were brought into the house, and over all he watched as tenderly as if the sufferer had been his own dister. The fourth day the invalid awoke to consciousness, and looked, at Dr. John straight in the face. "Where am 1?" sho asked, attempting to rise. "At home," he replied. "Please be very quiet." "Where is Flory?" "Asleep by your side. Don't ask any more questions." "Who are you?" she continued, apparently oblivious to the command. "John Hessman, at your service, and at present your self-constituted physician, who will be obeyedl Now, drink this beef tea take Flory's little hand in j ours, and go to sleep." With a sign cf relief, a smile, a momentary attempt to keep her eyes open a little longer, and the invalid was sleeping as quietly as nn infant. Four weeks from that day, Miss Kate Britton rode out in the doctor's carriage, almost as well as ever. Dr. John looked unutterable things as he jumped into his gig and took his seat beside her. Very like the day a month ago when he had something very particular to Bay to himself only aow he evidently had a communication to make to another. "It will be safe for mo to resume my writing to-morrow, will it net, doctor?" inquired Kate, the first to break the silence. "1 feel better and stronger today than I have for a year."

'JNo, little girl," repuen the doctor. It will not be safe lor you to resume

your writing in six months."

"Oh, doctor, you are only jolting now!

I know you are," said Kate, noting the look of amusement in his expresive

eyes.

"No, Kate, indeed I am not joking.

You shall never go back to that drudgery again, if I can help it."

the hot blood mounted clear to

Kate's temples.

"Dr. iiessman," she said, assuming

a busines3 like manner, "but for you I

should have been in my grave."

"What imperturbability," broke m

her companion, with more truth than modesty.

"Well," she continued, you saved my

life, kept my darling little sigter from starvation, and cared for us both as though we bad been your own kindred!

iJut can 1 never " "There child, stop just where you are. Never, if you hive any regard foi my feelings, allow that word to slip from your lips. I want to take you and Flory to my home, and make your happiness my only care. In short, Kate, 1 w int a wife and a sister. Will you bti the first? Perhaps you do not exactly leve me now( but 1 know I can make you." "But I do love you," said Kate, vinder her breath. "AH right, then, will you go?" Sho went. Dr. John scarcely ever talks to himself now.

An Extraordinary Tragedy. Our latest sensation in the criminal line :s the affair known as the Chelsea tragedy. Two young German gentlemen of respectable family in Berlin, "take $2,000 and go West," not to "buy land," but to visit London. Arrived here, they go to the Cremorne Gardens, make nco,uf intance with two of the frail nymphs who frequent those shades.

and pass four days and nights in. their company. At the end of the fourth clay the $2,000 is all gone; it has been given to the girls, or spent in dinners, visits to the theaters, and excursions. The two young gentlemen now hold a consultation; they ask each other if there is anything left on earth worth living for, and they decide there is not. Have they not exhausted every pleasure and tasted of every joy? In their stupid folly they say "yes," and they resolve to quit a world of which they fancy they have exhausted the joys.

They agree that one Bhall shoot the other and then kill himself. Thy strip for death, lock the door of their room, and write a few lines of fe.rawell to the wretched girls. The one stands up and the other shoots him through the breast, tho ball passing directly above the heart. As this fool ffill the other places the pistol to bis own breast and shoots himself directly through Ihe heart. He dies instantly, but tho other one lingers while, und 1 believe U pot yes dead, Jwhi fr.uir.

Fellow Citizens -. Individuals, Mmyarious consideration', may change their party rotations, but grant political organizations, like tho Itepr.blieaa and Democratic parties, do not for lighr. and transient causes changer tueir pritioiples, policies and ton(loririon. THE CIIAVGED DEMOOBACT. What are we to underataud by the nomination of Horaso Greeloy at lljltimuio ? Are n o to suppose that tho Democratic party has abandoned those principles, theories and opinions for which it has so long contended, or s.re wo to believe that Horace Greeley, by aocopMni;; that nomination, lias given the lie to ill the professions of along political life? Political organization have npriing up from time to time during our history, but they haveall had, or professed to hava some new and distinct gromid upon which to stand. Stieli were the Anti-Masonic, Anti-Slavery, and Know-Nothini; parties, l!nt this new-'tatigleil combination, with Greeley at it" head, doos not pretend to anything not common to other parties, but is formed, a. it is said, to correct some evil practices in the administration of the Government. Take from the Cincinnati and Baltimore platforms what has been adopted snd advocated by the llept'.bltcan party, and nothing remains but some implied cenHiires npon tne Administration of President Grant and commonplace cliinia to superior virtue, with an exprasiiion in favor of one term for tho Presidency. Stripped of all its high-sounding pretensio -e, this coalition is made by a faction of Bore-headed Republicans wit i tho 'Anjthinfr-to-beat-Orant" Democrats to divide among thenselves the swayot power aac the spoils ot office. THE SENATORIAL CABAL.

Look at ths Senatorial leaders in this bolt. Charles Sumner has made a great speech agsjnst Grant. Does ho accuse the President of any infidelity to the Republican party? Doss he claim that any new departure is necessary for tho sake of principle ? Nothing of the kind. Ho gathers up, witn groveling care, the tilth that vena! newspapers and pot-house politician,'! of the Domoorati? partj have voided upon tho President, s.uil decking it with the Bo rers of his rhetoric, pours it from his place in :be Sunate into tho etirs of a em-prised and sorrowful people. Personal malice prompts and pen-ades it all. Senator Trambnll frets and scolds about civil service reform, centralization, aud tho way in which Secretary Botitweil manages the aff ills of the Treasury. (!:irl SchuriJ wraps himself in the mantle of solf-rigliteousneHS, and loftily disdains to associate with the vile and ignoble creatm es who support the regular nominations of the Ilepnalican party. I have been wondering for a year or two how the people of the United t-.ti.tes managed to get on as wc 11 as they did before Providence raised up this immaeulato pe:.Konage to govern and direct our affairs, Tipto:! is a preacher t irnc d into a politician, an 1 seems to fight Grant, to use a Western expression, from " pure ctwscdness." TIIE1B FOLLOWING. Who aro the followers of these men ? Exceptions there may be, hut they are generally those who have some personal grievnnco. Soma of them have wanted nominations or olections by the Republican party which they have not obtained. Somo have been turned out of office by tho President, or have asked him for appointments winch tbdy did not get, and others have had tueir claims for one thing

or anot her reiectod : but to this sore-headed

crowd is to be added tho worn-out, playedout, spewed-ont politicians that Greeley's nomination baa resurrected from their political graves. HOW OEEELET WAS NOMINATED. Considerable effort is made to make it appear that, the coalition, with Greeley at its hoad, t.af. been produced by some atidden outbreak of popular feelini! in deliance of nai-tv

lines and party considerations, when tho fact

it, mere never was a nomination for tne Presidency iu the United Status about which there wan hc much wire-pulling and trading as

aiwiu iiih Mfmiinunon or -loraco lireoioy. Whe i the Cincinnati Convention assembled,

i:ie tiougura oi tne pecplo wcro turned to Adams Dtvis and Trumbull, one of whom it

was generally believed would be tho candidate, liut th 3 friends of Greeley and Brown traded

t iio supporters of Adair a and Davis out of

uiair noots, and noraan (ireeley appeared, like Jiicli-Ui-l lie-ton. to tho disappointment,

mortification ana aisgui-t of tne chief proj retort of tho Ciuoi mati movoineut, cud it t as said that Carl Relirrz, the President of

t ie couveution, was so bitterly disappointed tiiat tt o lachrvmal fluid r'rom his ever-watch-

f al eyes flowed down his checks, f arrowed with t so gr-sat caro of saving tho Republic from

ttie Clntclios or Ulysses Sri. Grant, THE SALE AT "ALTIHOIIE. Go, then, to Baltimore. When That couyention nsKembled tho question was wl: other Greeley should bo indorsed, or regularly nominated. Momo argued that if he was indented, more of the silly and weak Hies of the Rnpnb licau party could bo drawn into the Democratic spider-web. But a majority wero of the opinion that if ho was regularly nominated, the Democratic masses were r,o held bv the Mhaek.es of party that they would be iound :o grra to bim their BUi port. Ground, f say, was t:iken there that the rank and filo :if the Democratic party wer bo enslaved that, though they might loatiia and hate tho nominee ot tho convention, thoy would be compeltftc. to give to lum their votcw. Itepublirjans,:.t was supposed, might holt the nominee of the regular convention of the partv, though a tried and truo loan who represented their principles was takan ; but rte Democrats, it was claimod, would not bolt the nomination at Baltimore, though tl:e candidate tak'n was an iivotr.rate enemy to their party and priiiK ples. THE TKlCi AND DICBKB BUSINESS. All tins triok and dicker business shows a shamelous abandonment of princplo, a brazen dmre ;ard of consistency, and a false-hoartod r.nd hypocritical alliance, without parallel in

onr in-tory ; and I say, if Horace Greeloy is elected under such circumstances, it will do more than anything that has hapj ened to demoralize and debauch tho pnblie conscience and the country, aud make people think that trickery and chicanery and urado are all there is of politics, and that the talk about political principles is a deception and a fraud. THE CTITSAUZATIO!l-OF-JOWEll BUOBF.AB. One of tho numerous accusations brought against- -ho Republican party at this time is that it lavoni the centralization or pnwer in tho Oun jral Government. Lot us, tor one moment, analyze this rlatnnr about centralization, and what id n it, Uivolves. Do the iiemlru) f tlw .Hopnllicu putty moan o say

that the constitutional amendments extend the Jurisdiction of the General Government, and corrospo!idtm;lv reduce the jurisdiction of tb States? Thin is undoubtedly so. That waj the object for which the constitutional amendments wero pi -wed. To establish the supremacy ot tho Union, and to provide libcity $nd suffrage and other rights, and to protectAtizons everywhere in their enjoyment, was The end to be accomplished by theso amendments. Can the supporters of Horace Greeley now objeot to the centralizing tendencies of theae new constitutional provisions when both of tlio pla forms upon which they stand commit, the m fully to their advocacy and support. Do the enemies of the Republican party mean to say that thoy will, if thoy hare the )"wor, reper.1 tto laws that have been paf i to'onforco these amoiidmeuts ? Con(WS i cxpipssly emoowniNl in each one ot thorn to onforce it by appropriate legislation, and overy man of seme knows that constitutional provisions which aro intended to protect personal rights cannot enforce themselves, and without legislation to that end would be dead letters upon the statute book. Take, for example, that amendment which guarantees suffrage to the colored people of the country. Hupposa they rre deprived of that suffrage, what remedy have they if there is no act providing Mimshmcnt for such a violation of tho Constitution ? THE KUKLIX ACT. Corisiderablo is Baid about the Knklnx act. When the colored people of the South were enfranchised, combinations of lawless men were formed to deprive them of the right of suffrage by terror and violence, and to that end numberless whippings, burnings and murders were committed in different localities. To abolish this secret, oath-bound snd insurrectionary association of persona, and to prevent the commission of crime by them npon persons whose enly offense was devotion to the Union or adherence to the Republican party, this Kuklnx act wax passed. AH those acts of Congress, which aro supposed to indicate tho cmitralization of power, were passed to enforce certain provisions of the Constitution, and protect the constitutional rights of the citizeu, and were therefore not only within tho power, but it was tho duty of Congress to enact them. Does Mr. Greeley wish to bo understood an saying that if hc Is elected President he will favor the repeal of thesa acts of Congrees, aud so allow crimes to bo perpetrated upon citizens of the United States contrary to ths orovisions of the Constitution, with" no interposition on the part of the General Government to prevent or punish them ? All the ac ts of Congress which are so bitteriy denounced by the Greeley party operato equally in all parts of the Union. South Cai olint. and Slississippi have the same State rights, nnder the Constitution and these acts, as the States of Pennsylvania and Now York. Are you conscioas,'as citueons of Pennsylvania, that yon have been deprived of any of these rights and privileges which are necessary or essential to local selfgovernment ? Do yon know of any practical difference between the condition of Pennsylvania at this time in that lespect, and its condition during the administration of James Buchanan ? I will tell von what makes ths difference between this State and the States that were in rebellion. Congressional encroachments upon the rights of tho State, if any, aro the same everywhere, but in this .State the people submit to and obey the authorities and laws of th s United States, while in ioioo portions of the Southern States thero is it popular element antagonized to the authority of the General Government, and the effort to repress this elomcnt is what makes it appear that there is more interference by tho General Government in the Southern States than in tho Northern States. -hb unurABi BrapoTtBin --7 Kindred to this is the charge of military de jpotism made against the present Administratioa. Nothing can be more unfounded tliiin this charge, aud tho only possible countenance it has is deriveifrom tho fact that tin President during the late civil war was.

at one time, in command of the Union army.

to snow tne tauity ot tuo ciiargo that mili-

ta:.y power is employed to suppress tho pooElo'of the Southern States, I will state that I eld in my baud a record, certified by (he

Secretary of War, which shows that, with tho

exception of Texas, where there are large bodios of hostile Indian? and an extended Moxiena frontier to protect, there are only 4,136

m.ai amaeel among tne Jtlier states that were in rebellion. Virginia has no soldiers within its herders except tho ordinary garrison at Fort Monroe. Thero are only 208 soldiers in AlaLa mi. ; thtre are OS in Arkansas, aud 3i9 in Tennessee. After dividing the whole num

RECONCILIATION. Reconciliation is one of tho watchwords of

tlio Greeley party. Horace Greeley and C miles Sunnier appeal for reconciliation.

Tais is one of the wonders of the day. Who aro tho parties to be reconciled, and what, are the existing diff jrences ? Considerir.g the thousands who were slain in fighting for the Union, tho thousands who wore starved in the prison pent of the South, the conspiracies that were formed to destroy Northern people, without discrimination of aj;e or aox, by Greek fire and pestilence, and all the multitudinous criiaes committed daring and after the war, and then considering tiiat 110 one has been punished for all these, and I am sure those who have had eoutrol of tlie Government cannot be charged with a harsh and revengeful policy. Such leniency aud forbearance, I undertake to say, is without parallel in history. Wiat are, then, the obstacles to reconciliation ? Are not the men, women and children of the South with

the exception or a row traders m Die renel- 1 lion, who wete guilty of the doubt? crime of perjury and treason, and are, therefore, ex- 1 eluded from ofiice in tho enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of Aniuricau citizens in other partis of tho Union ? Can anything lie done mora than has been done to effect reconciliation, except to repeal those laws of Congress which give vitality to tho Constitutional amendments, and repress lawlessness and crime by the tmlmleut spirits of the South ? Is this what the Greeley party proposri to do for roeor.ciliatim ? While he was in command of the Union army is it pretended that he ever treated rebel ooldioirs who fell 11160 his hands 'vith hardness and crn Ity ? Is i t not admitted on all hands that the terms of Hiirreinler gi anted to L,ee and nis forces wore ao gcnoroiu as thoy could possibly be nnder tho eirenmstanoes ? Can anybody point to an expression or act of Geo. Grant inco he has become President, indicating any Ill-will 01 bit toritcAH of teeling on his part toward tho people of the Southern States ? On the eontriiiy, has ho not expressed an earnest desire U bave the passions, animosities and preju

dices of war give place to those offices of kindness and fraternal feeling which are requisite to make us a united aud happy people ? THK MASK BliTWEEN TIXE DEMOCRATS AND THB

Vie are invited to. shako hands across tbe

bloody chasm. Ddoliitla is tho man, I bo

urne, who invented tins bloody chasm. Elected to the Senate by Republicans, be deserted to tho Democratic party, since which time he has lneu largely engaged in the bloody chasm business. Andrew Johnson's

convention .here in 186K was a part of the bloody chasm programme, with Doolittlo to furnish tears for the occasion. He tried to como the bloody chasm dodge upon the people of Wisconsin a voar or two ago as a Democratic candidate for Governor, but thoy didn't see it. Ho took his bloody chasm show into North Carolina, but it didn't pay there, and since ho has had it on exhibition in Maine. Artemus Ward's " wax figgoru" wore nothing 111 the show business as ijompartid to Doolittlo s bloody chasm. Tills ib all nonsonBO. To oarry on this humbug compaigu it is necessary to have an awful bloody chasm. Grant and tho bloody-minded Republicans aro to keep it opon, but whou Horace Greeloy la elected, and the innocent Iambs and spotless ?OTe who follow him are appointed to omce, it will bo closed, aud wu aro to havo something like those good old Democratic times when every man could wallop his own "lt'fer, and whisky was only three contB a drink. There is no bloody or any other sort of chasm betwaen the people of Ihe Northern and Southern States. Are not the Republicans of the Sorth and ",ho South as united and aa harmonious in the supKrt of Grant and Wilson us aro tho Republicans of the East and West ? Are not tho Democrats of tho North and the South as united ill supporting Greeley and Brown as are the Democrats of the Eastern and Western States ? I know of no chasm otcept that which separatos the Deuiocratlu party from tho custam-hounss ! poitgDloes ,,r the eountiy.

What are Greeloy and Ids supporters doing in the way of rocoiicUia ion ?

To inflame the prejudices of the people of the Southern States against Northern inon, who go thero to live, is a strange way to create harmony and good feeling anion); all classes of the people. I know that many had men from the North have found tli eir way into oliice in tho Southern Stales since the war. ' IRRELF.Y'b OAIIPET-BAGGT.R8. But all tho bad men iu ofiice there wore not born in the North, nor are tbey all Republicans, nor do they all support President Grant. Five of tho' Governors of tho reconstructed States were born iu the South, and live of them are Democrats. Virginia has a Democratic Governor itnd the largest public debt of any of tho Southern States, and Warmoth, will is tlioroi utc-1 Tweed of the South, is loud for Greeley and reform. Attacks are made upon President Grant as though he was in some way responsible for the action of the Southern State Governmen to. Ho baa nothing to do with them more than any other man. P- oplo there choose whomsoever tbey will to till the State offices, as they do in other places. They have eleoted Democrats in some of the States, and in others they have elected Itepubhoana. Complaint is made of the Pros. dent because he allows, aa it is said, the carpi: t-bag Statu oflicers of the Sonth to plunder the people, an 1 at the same time he is deuot need for interfering toj much with Southern affairs. COBBCmON IS 0FFICS. When the enemins of the Administration have nothing elue to say about it, thoy charge it with corruption, meaning, I suppose, the misuse oif the public m.ouey. Let us look this flippant .lecusation sqviaroly in tho face for a moment. More than a dozen investigating committi 03 have been organized to Snd some ground npon which to sustain this charge, bat all of thorn h vo miserably failed so far as they worn intended to ailect the integrity of tlioso who compose tbe Administration. Tdke, lor example, the alleged sale of arms ti tho French. With much affected virtuous indignation this attack was made because th j proceeds of those sales were not accounted for. Bu t the charge finally dwindled into an allegation that the Secretary of War did not exercise proper vigilence to keep those arms out of tho hands of the French after they were sold to private individuals. No intelligent person can fail to see that this charge was concocted by Sumner and Schurz vith the view of influencing the German vote in tho Presidential eloetion. This, like similar attempts, seems to have failed. What enn be said of the good taste of an America a Senator who goes about tho country ondeavorng to aronse the Germans here against tbe Government of the United States on the fi'ouiid o. some suppose t affront to the Government of Germany Defalcations have oci urrod under all Administrations since tho formation of the Government, and always will 00c nr. because it is impossible for any President, in the teas of thousands of men whom ho appoints to office, to avoid the' occasional appointment of a dishonest man. Cashieni and clerks of banks and business houses are constantly committing defalcations in spite of r.ho vigilance of their employers, but that dees not prove that those who menage such bonks and business houses are ehai: eable with corruption. When Tammany controlled S'ow Vork city, its eovern-

Wheo it can bo made to appear that any official under this Administration has been g tilty of embezzlement or fraud, and has not been promptly exposed and prosecuted, end, if possible, punished, some beginning will be made :o sustain tho charge of corruption.

Cong .ess, from time to time, passed laws reducing the burdens of taxation upon tho people, to which Mr. Greeley was strenuously opposed, insisting that the taxes should bo kopt Si high that the whole of the public debt of tho United Stf.tes could be paid off within the period of ten years.

We did not hear of Mr. Schurz at the Piace Jubilee in Louisville, it was hardly important that he should goanvwny, for he has long since clasped hanis with rebellion in spirit, and to go through an empty I'orm would be a ruackery hardly worth a sacrifice of $250 a day. Mr. Schurz, iu his speech delivered at Chicago, proposed to fill the " bloody chasm" with "Grant met." McCreery, with whom he was expected to clasp hands at Louisville, proposes the same thing. Tha form differs, but not the substance Schurz contemplates filling it with the living, McCreery with tbe dead. Schurz proposes to sacrifice the loyal thousands of the North to the behests of rebellion ; McCreery proposed to scatter the bones of 12,000 sleeping soldiers at Arlington to the same Moloch. Schurz conciliates by throwing in. the loyal living ; McCreery by digging up the martyred dead. But who are these Grant men whom the heroic Schurz so glibly promises to hurl into the chasm of destruction and forgetfulneea? Gen . Logan is one ; who, in the hour of the country's deepest peril, stepped from the plane of party upon the higher level of patriotism, and on many a wellfought field won tha honor and gratitude of his countrymen. Gallant Tom Browne, of Indiana, is one; who led his H oosier boys into the thickest of the fight, nnd who "spoke to the Children of Israel" as they went forward. Heroic Dick Oglejby is one; who, crushed and mangled by rebel bullets, still lives to receive the reward of his devotion. Gen. 0. O. Howard is one ; wounded and disabled in the early part oi the war, and whom a grateful nation cannot forget.

lj'.ttle Phil. Sheridan is one ; he who

galloped so gallantly from Winch jstfi

on that bright October morning, "savior

the any" Dy nis Heroism, and pushed Jubal Early up and out of the Shenandoah Valley. Sherman is one ; he who drwe John son out of Jackson, Bragg from Iookout Mountain, Hood from Atlanta, and then mowed a path through the rebellion on his brilliant inarch to the sea. Sigel is one ; who charged so desperately into the rebel columns at Wilson's Creek, and whose gallantry was alike the pride of Germans and Americans. But why enumerate? The Grant men, with wnom Schurz proposes to fill the

chasm, can be found within themptj I

Sleeves, tne o:a unnorms, ana tne unforgotten memories of the past. They can be found among the survivors of the dungdens cf Libby and the harrors of Andersonville. In one word, they can hi found comprising the men who fought for the Union, and the men who sustained the army at home. Looking over the supporters of Grant

it the political gatherings to-day, we can almost borrow the words of' the Prophet, and say with him : " These are the faces that I saw under God at the river of Shebar ; and these faces are the likenesses of the same faces that I saw at the river, and they went, every one of them, straight forward." Ane: these are the men with whom Mr. Schun proposes to fill tho gulf. Despicable attempt! Impotent effort! Iniiultine

words ! Can he believe the Awierican Eeople are cravens and in grates T Does e hope to cancel the record in ail our hearts by blotting it out of hie- own ? Let him behold the uprising of the people all over the land. Let him hear

Ghastly Scenes at A ft allows. Ob Tuesday morning, June 4, within the precincts of the gaol, the last dread

sentence of the law was carried oat upon the person convicted sod condemned to death for the murdor of an elderly woman, named Aveline Littler,

near Vvymleyer, in March last. Precisely at 9 o'clock the vTetched criminal, attended by the Cev. Mr. McAucliffo, was led forth from his cell, and quietly submitted himself to the hi-.nds of the two exeoutioners, who at once proceeded to pinion bin. The prisoner was taken to the fart of the gallows, and ivbcended the eta .re without exhibiting any agitation. He raised his bands twice, as if in suprlication; and, upon the cap being thrown over his head and tied, the bolt wa drown. A scene now occurred that will n3ver be forgotten by those who wit-iesoe-I.it, When the body passed through the drop, tbe spectators, of course, expeeted

to see it swing underneath, when the extent of the rope was reached ; but

what wa tne.r bwror to see the trims:, completely sevtrod from the head fall

into the pit lielow, while the head was

left dangling in tne noose terrible ana

ghastly sizht. .Death, of course, was

instantaneoun. It is impoBsisle to describe the sensation which this shockine spectacle produced. ISvery one

present stood as if he were rooted to the spot, and it was some time b-jfore most of the onlookers could realise what

had actually occurred. The blood now ran in a narrow stream from the head suspended above, and, upon approaching the edce of the pit, the upper por

tion of the bodv was seen to paruatlv

raise itself in convulsive shudderings two or three times before it- ceased to move, the blood pouring in streams from the neck. The efFect cf the scene

was sickening in the extreme, but as

soon as postible the trunk ana head were put in ti coffin and removed. The cause of the terrible catastrophe was

the want of any allowance on the part

ot the executioners tor the see acd at

tenuated frame of the convict. Far too great a fall was given, and though it

might be mercitul, as a rapiu ana pain

less mode of takintr life, the reeu'.t was

certainly most revolting. Jktthurtl
