The Democratic Doctrine.

Milton R. Graham, for thirty years proprietor of the Delphi Times, died in Delphi Wednesday morning last, aged 53 years. We understand our townsman, Mr. James, now aspires to the.radical nomination for Secretary of State.— Piaee him on your ticket, gentlemen. S* Leap year, with the census, comes next year, and the Democratic party, in the interest of good government, wiil o’erleap radicalism and fraud, secure control oi the government and bring happiness, peace and piosperity to the country. Mr. Comptroller Knox estimates the money in the countiy of all do scrlptions at $1,165,553,504, and shows by his report that on the 14th of June last the total deposits in the banns of the United States, ot all descrif tions, amounted to $1,893,520,000 —that is to say, there was on deposit $727,960,406 more money than there was in the country. .An Installment of 60 or 70 of the 10,000 negroes to be located in this State by the radicals with a view to eontrolling the elections next, fall, ar rived at Greencastie a few days sine©. If the white men of Indiana prove true to their own interests, every such xote gained by the radicals will be offset by at least two lost to them on. account of their heartless pertidy.

In announcement of the hotel arrivals, in that city, the other day, the Indianapolis Sentinel has the name of "Horace E. Jones, Rensselaer.” We suggest that It no doubt meant Horace E. James, always the most “pro- * minent” advocate of hard-mouej in 'he Union. What’s in a name—what’s iu greatness • it such errrors are continually to occur? Such mistakes, Mr. Sentinel, are dog-gouod thin. The Republican expresses Bitters condemnation of affairs in Maine.— An application of their own remedies, which they have strenuously defended all along as legal and proper, in the Maine ease, will leave them out in the cold. By all means dose them with their own medicine. It is the only remedy, ready-prepared, at hand. The radical party is certainly iu trouble—Blaine subject to sun strokes, ’liize Pinkston in prison on charge of murder, utid the State of Maine alo it lost to them in spite of the lavish a n. illegal use of money ami the gross frauds pdipt trated by them. The Cincinnati Ixuzotte simply ut ters the sentiment, of every radical “boomer”’When it says: “Rather than have the Democratic party come into power we would prefer to huvc't iciicral < irnnt made me TATOR FOlt LIFO.” No doubt the Gazette would prefer t—the “boomers” would preterit *nd last, though not least, Grant woM prefer it.. But thou the grand olu Democratic party with over a quarter of a million majority is in the way and will not permit it. The Deacon should associate Toombs with him iu the management of the Guzelte.— Botn uro hurt with the same kind of patriotism.

Geu. Grunt, in committing himself to the keepiug of u setof “boomers,” or “bummers,” which, in the present instance is the sumo tiling, has auce jaded in arousing for hi aself the supreme contempt of all good and true m:u.. We have In aid scores of Republicans express themselves us disgusted, and will oppose with all their.might a third term. They now fully recognize and concede Hie fact Ids visit and receptions in Europe) and his return and receptions at home,, wore planned by scheming men with a view to “boom” him into a third term, and secure for themselves con trol of the patronage and plunder in the event of success. It won’t win.

From a recent speech of Richard D. Hubbard, Democratic ex Governor of Connecticut. And what we are to-day that by God’s grace wears bound to remain, one and undivided under the constitution, not a score or more of dissevered or clashing nations, bristling with standing armies and converted for self defense into a military bar racks, but a constitutional unity—a nation, or call it what we will and wrangle about it as we may, a federal government supreme fer federal purposes and capable of self-defense, not. less against enemies from within than enemies from without—every State abiding in the Union, not by leave and sufferance of any other but of constitutional right, and remain ing there, too, not of caprice or grace of favor, but of constitutional obligation, and ovei’3’ one moving in Us own sphere of independent local selfgovernment by its own law. as in the great gravitation of the heavens each star keeps harmony with the sun, but holds its own orbit, and has its own glory, and refuses to be absorbed into the eeutral mass.

A beautiful wife in the country has expended much ingenuity in devising a scheme to keep her husband at home at night, and it ’ proved very effectual, She flatters her liege lord about the exquisite proportions of his feet, and induces him to wear boots two sizes too small for him. He is on his feet all d; y long in town, and when he gets lijnie at nig t she has a soft ehair, auu a pair of loose, cool slippers for him; and by the time he, with great drops of agony pearling his brow, has got off his boots, he comes to the conclusion that there is no place like home after all, and has no uesire to go to town to the lodge, or to sit up with a sick friend.

At the M. E. Sabbath School the other morning, to illustrate the text: ‘He hath given us of His spirit,” the teacher compared man to a locomot ive, to show that the spirit is the life A locomotive of itself is dead, to give life required water and fuel, the .fuel creates heat, and its effect on the water is steam, which gives it life. In like manner man takes in water and fuel three times a day, which gives and sustains life. Just at this point he was interrupted by little George (who perhaps lives at a second-class boarding house) squalling out, “I’ll bet a dollar if you would sling a plate of soup in an engine it would put out the fire.” The lesson closed with a tableaux.
