DEMOCRATIC. AT ALL-TIMES ANjg^GNDEit ALL CIRCUMSTANCE^
Puritanism Busy.
A Salom (MassacliasettB) paper says the State Constabulary are pushing matters in that city to an extraordinary extent. They have visited every oyster saloon and eating room where ale and elder were sold, every candy-shop, lodg-ing-house, grocery and apothecary. Every landlord who lets a tenement iu which alcoholic preparations are sold has been notified that he will be indicted for keeping a common nuisance if he does not eject his tenant forthwith. Apothecaries have also been notified that they must not sell alcohol or any kind of spirits, eveii "lpon the prescription of a physician. The result is that most, if not all, the places where any liquor can be obtained are closed,' the liquor agency excepted.
In the State of New York the Legislature tli.it has just adjourned passed a law that forbids the sale of beer, ale or liquors on Sunday, and, by heavy fines, closes virtually every German beer and wine-garden iu the State on Sunday. The Rochester Volhsblatt contains the following on the law from the pen of Prof. MANDT. who says of it: "It clutches at, nay, it holds within its robber-grasp the rights of the people it cuts down a good tree because some withered fruit hangs amid the branches it boldly takes away from us, under an odious and hypocritical jiretcn.se, the very semblance of liberty it passes under the yoke of a recurring seventh-day slavery. It has marvelous affinity to the ltusi-ian
knout, anil courts kiu with the lash of the slaveholder. '•But ir. some such -way all national dogrcdutlons commence. Slowly the wheel revolves, aud we who were of the empyrean yesterday, may be in the gulf to-morrow. The process is slow—slow as the change of time—but not less certain. Or to change our simile, a finger is lost at one time, then another, till the whole baud, and with it the power of resistaucc, is irrevocably gone from us.— Or, one wing of the national eagle is first clipped (as hasjust been very neatly performed). then by and by the other is similarly adjusted, and then down tumbles the symbol of our forefathers' nobly-gained liberty from its proud eyrie of eighty years, where it has watched with stern l'arseeing gaze above the folds of the stardecked banner. "My German countrymen, American citizens, the question is not one of the cellar or the pleasure garden. It is far removed from such considerations. It is a question of Personal Liberty, and alas! who can have watched the proceedings of the last two Sundays without the deeply mournful reflection that for America the transition period from liberty to slavery appears to have arrived. I adjure you to be united, unless you desire to follow, as mourners, American freedom to the grave. Be warned in time, else the day may come when your posterity, long accustomed to slavery, shall read with wonder the history of the golden days of liberty in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and ask, dejcctcdly, how lost we so priceless a boon? Be warned, I say again, lest you be pointed back to, with the inflexible finger of scorn as the traitors who surrendered your birthright lest upon the tomb of this generation there will be justly inscribed the witheringly dishonorable epitaph—'Craven hearted, divided they fell."'
Puritans ideas are spreading and making themselves felt through penal enactments. The Independent says Puritan morals arc the salt of the Republic and hould be made to prevail over the North and the South. Puritan power has abolished slavery, and it must now reform the social customs and habits of the people not in accord with Puritan morals. New England is controlling the legislation of the country, not only at Washington, but also in most of the Legislative.Asscmbliesof the Northern States. Since slavery has been abolished the spirit of interference and meddling, so characteristic of the Puritan, must find employment in other fields, and it turns upon the customs of those that have taken a liberal view of Sunday as being a day of rest and relaxation from the toils of the laboring portion of the week. Professor MANDT may protest, but we suspect he und his must pass under the Puritanic yoke, as the people of the South have had to pass."
STRENGTH OF THE GERMAN ARMIES.— When-on a full war footing the Austrian army consists of 579,000 men. The Prussian army, including the Landwchr, or militia, is composed of 566,150 men In case of extreme need Bavaria can have an army of 90,000 men, but at present her whole available force.is .59,984 men. The Hanoverian army is about 25.500 strong, and tli£ Saxon is of the same strength.: Wurtemburg cap briilg '28,800 men into the field, and Baden about 18,700.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, MOOTaOMEftY COUNTY, INDIANA, MAY 1866."r
-xhe Twenty-sixth of April.
I'The twenty-sixth of April is the annfversary day of the close of the war, by tlne-«urrender of JOHNSON to SHER^AN ii|o]fL the conditions that the Southern Spates and people should be no further hti'l'assed or punished if they remained in pfeade, and submitted to existing laws.— Tiffs-day is now set apart by the ladies of tH^South for the annual visit to the graves of their dead soldiers, when they are to bo.,watered with fresh tears aud decked with fresh flowers. The Memphis Argus cootairis an account of the visit of the ladies of that city to the graves of their, as it culls them, patriot dead, on the 26th ult. Rev. Dr. FOKD delivered an address. .We make extracts. After quoting WEBSTER to the point that our revolution was for a preamble, a mere declaration, a penny tax on tea. lie says:
Tell us, immortal Webster! us, ye vdices of history, did those who went forth to battle for more than "a preamble" or a "declaration," commit treason, infamous, unpardonable? No! No!! They sleep in no dishonored graves. They are to us, and ever will be, the "patriot dead."— Standing here to-day atnid their quiet resting places, subdued aud sorrowful, and feeling
''That mystery of woe the tongue can never spsak," we solemnly avow that with us the conflict is ended—we abide the issue. Reside our own loved dead, in these same solitudes, reposes the foemen who met them in the living strife. These, could they speak, would not be men to insult the memories, of those who so manfully encountered thcni ou t.bo l»looly field.— Tn tlic words of Scott—
'•The solemn echo seems to cry, Here let their discords with them die Speak not. for them a separate doom, Whom fate made brothers in the tomb.''
But if this be denied us if the discord is still to live if humiliation and punishment are to pursue us, we ask the poor privilege-of cherishing the memory of our dead, aud mingling our tears with the flowers we spread over their graves.
On one of Switzerland's loveliest lakes, on an annual festive day, are seeu a thousand light boats skimming the bright waters and landing at the consecrated spot where stands the chapel of William Tell. The day is spent in festooning with fresh flowers the broken column that perpetuates his memory and records his daring deeds. So let us conic annually here, and make the 26th of April our floral festival, to call up the memories of. our brave Confederate dead, and wreathe around their lowly graves flowers that shall syllable, "Regrets Eternal! Regrets Eternal!!" and the memory of the loved braves shall never die.
The Atlanta Bulletin thus speaks of the action of the. Federal officers at Augusta, on the anniversary day. "THE RIGHT SPIRIT.—The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel mentions the fact that the different Government offices in that city were closed during the hour set apart for the floral tribute to the Confederate dead in our city cemetery, and very justly remarks 'that this touching and tender recognition of our great bereavement will be treasured by our sorrowful citizens, and the fair maidens and matrons of the land will hold in kindly recollection the gentlemanly officer on duty at this post.'
Give President Johnson Credit for $11,000,000. The House of Representatives hasjust voted eleven million dollars to supply the negro boarding-houses of the South. Under the Bureau Bill strangled by the Executive the estimate of yearly expenditure was double that sum. President Johnson has thus saved the people SI 1 ,- 000,000. Give him crcdit for it.—Rochchestcr Union.
Checks and balances are first rate to prevent fraud and rascality. It would seem from the above, that a veto by President Johnson is a capital "check and balance"'?n thp extravagance of Congress. A saving of 811,000,000 is no small sum to the taxpayers of the country. More vetoes producing similar results would be hailed as a bright harbinger of the future. si .M-V ,5T ili'*
The Rejection of General Frank P. Blair. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, in speaking of the rejection by the Senate of General Frank P. Blair as Collector of Internal Revenue in St. Louis, says: "Much surprise is expressed at the result, among others by Lieutenant general Grant, who says that to him the country is indebted more than to any other man that Missouri wus prevented from seceding. He spoke with earnestness of the important military services General (then Colonel) Blair at that time and since has rendered the country."
A Georgia newspaper-predicts the be'st crop of wieqt'in that "State this season tJi%thM.b6en jpade' ip t«n. y«»rfl.
A Bcautirul ,Hl®stration.
The following is from thcbrilliant lecture recently delivered in New Orleans by the Hon. Charles Gayarrc, oh the subject of "Oaths, Amnesties and Rebellion." The moral pointed out-is, that Presideut Johnson may trust, without fear, those men who fought to the last for the cause they so loved, and which claimed their fidelity—may trust the rebels who come to him with clean hands, after having deposited the keys of their loyalty ou the dead body of the Southern Confederacy.
Some centuries ago two kings were contending for the crown of Castile. I forget their hatflGs for the present, but, to facilitate the telling of my story, I shall call one Alfonso and the other John. Alfonso proclaimed, of coursc, that John was a usurper and rebel, and John returned the compliment. Well, John defeated his rival, horse and foot, and carried every thing triumphantly before him, with the exception of a single town, which Alfonso had intrusted to a stout old knight called Aguilar, and which, after a long siege, still remained impregnable. "You have done enough for honor," said King John one day to the knight "surrender and you shall have the most liberal terms." "If you had read the history of your country," answered Aguilar, "you would have known that none of my race ever capitulated." "I will starve you, proud and obstinate fool!" "Starve the eagle if you can." "I will put you to the sword." "Try!" was the laconic response and the siege went on.
One morning, as tho rising sun was beginning to glid with its rays the highest towers of the beleaguered city, a parley was sounded from the camp of the enemy. The old knight appeared on the wall and looked down on the king below. "Surrender!" said John again, "my rival, Alphonso, is dead, and the whole of Castile recognizes my sway as that of its legitimate sovereign." "Sire, I believe you, but I must see my dead master." "Go, then, to Seville, where his dead body lic3 _you have my royal word that I shall attempt nothing against, you on your way, nor against the city in your absence." The knight came out with banner flying aud-a small escort of griiu-visaged warriors. Behind him the gates closed before him the dense battalions of the enemy opened their ranks, and as lie passed along, slowly riding his noble war-horse, shouts of admiration burst wide and far from the whole host who had so ofteu witnessed his deeds of' valor, and the echoes of the loud and enthusiastic greeting accompanied him until the red plume, which waved over his helmet, was out of sight. He arrived at Seville aud went straight to the cathedral, where he found the tomb of his former sovereign. He had it opened, and after gazing awhile with moist eyes at the pale face which met his look, he thus addressed the dead monarch: "Sire I had sworn never to deliver to anybody but yourself the keys of the town which you had intrusted to my care. Here they are. I have kept my oath," and he deposited them ou the breast of King Alfonso.
Then, bestriding his steed, he galloped back to his post. As soon as he approached again the ranks of the enemy opened, and King John confronted him. "Well," said the King, arc you satisfied, and do you now give up the contest?" "Yes, sire." "Where, are the keys of the town?" "On King Alfonso's breast, go and get them, we meet no move." "By heaven, we shall never part,' exclaimed the King, "get the keys back yourself, and remain in command of the town in my name." The followers of the King murmured, and complained of his rewarding a rebel. "He is no longer one,"' said King John, "such rebels, when won, become the Ccst of subjects."
THE Richmond (Ind.) True Republican is grieved and sick at heart. Bowles and Milligun are again at lar_c But it is not so much the fact that they are sit large that gives poignance to the sorrows of the Julianic organ. It is the fact that Gov. Morton did not hang them, or see to it that they were hung before the Supreme Court of the United States had time to pronounce upon the insufficiency of the Commission before which they were convicted. It rankle in the heart of the Republican, because the Governor did not anticipate the Court and execute these
Indiana conspirators before the illegality of their conviction was officially pronounc-edly-Unhappy Republican!—Cincinnati Commercial.
"THE first time I took my oldest boy to church," a minister's wife says, "when he was two years and a half old, I managed with carcsses and frowns aud candy to keep him very still till the sermon was half done. By this time his patience was exhausted, and he climbed on the seat, looking at.the preacher (IUB father), quite intently. Then, as if he had bit upon a certain relief for his troubles, he pulled me by the chin to attract my attention, and exclaimed, in a distinct voice, 'Ma, a a a a

The New liquor law In New York. Tho late Republican Legislators of New 'York passed a stringent liceuse and Sunday law, which is creating a goefd deal of feeling in that oity, atid especially among the Germans. "The New "York-
World says:'-" "The..Germans are bitterly incensed against the [new excise] lajv because it forbids them drinking their beer on Sundays. Generally a hard working pedple, Sundaf is their only holiday, and they can not see the justice of closing ^their gardens and depriving tbem of what fehtfy deem an innocent enjoyment to satisfy religious scruples which they do not share. During the summer season not less than 70,000 Germans frequent the beer-gardens in and near the city. If is folly to suppose that the great mass of people will forego their usual enjoyments at the bidding of any commission, however respectable."
And again: ....i'J,.'
:'The
Teutonic population arc svery
wrathful at the threatened.deprivation of their favorite beverage on Sontag. Many thousands of poor workmen and mechcan'ics, who arc employed at their avocations during the week, generally spend the Sabbath in some of the gartens on the outskirts of the city, drinking lager with the frau aud der kinder, and listening to the music in a quiet and inoffensive manner. This pleasure is to be taken away from them uow and the consequent'tad feeling, is easily accounted Ibr among these people, now that there is a fiat gone forth that there shall be no more lager ou1 Sunday."
MR. SUMNER, in a speech in the Senate the other day, on a bill to indemn Ify na-

The Trial of Hon. JelTcrson Bavft If the Administration has auv idea of perpetrating the folly, yea, more than folly, of trying the Hon. JEFFERSON DAvis for his participation' iti' the late civil war, upon the plea that he has commitsuch participation, to its
ted treason by commend again to its consideration the'
following from the Cincinnati Gazette, the strongest Radical organ in the West, which a few days ago said upon this subject: "To hold the leader of a belligerent power, which has had half a million of men in the field, and has maintained a public debt for four years, and has settled it by a treaty between the two armies, to trial by jury, is simply absurd."

There is something particularly revolting iu the idea of holding an individual responsible for crime in wliat was the act of eleven great States and ten millions of people. To single out one of the agenta of this mighty mass of population, who only went with his section, for trial and punishment, is one of thft highest acts of injustice. mM

for the Government, paid this handsome ,\\- compliment to the white .mechanics of tb$ North: "Had the contracts been made in time of peace, Congress would not be justified in doing what was now proposed, but war had made changes that could not be overlooked. It would be simply an act of justice to make good these losses to the mechanics of the country, who had contributed almost as much, I was about to say, as even success.
HORAGE GREELEY states, in the Tri bune, that he does not like the negro a8 v/ell as the white man. He might have added that the readers of tho Tribune had all received the contrary impression, supposing thakall hiB .politics turned upon the interests of the colored "brother."

The white mechanics of the North are considered by this Abolition snob to be almost as important to the national succcss as the negroes of the South I Let ua hear no more of Senator HAMMOND and his mud-sills of society after this. No Southern Senator ever made so degrading a comparison against our labor, and skilled labor at that.
HOOP-SICIUTS, like gun-barrels, are not dangerous unless they have something them. But when the former _are charged, powered, wadded, and water-fall-capped, they should be handled with the greatest caution. In many instances it is dangerous to even look at them.
