New

York Ti„m, after a careful

survey of numerous Slate platforms, concludes that, so far, the Democrats have not achieved signal success in their efforts at platform-making. Neither in Maine or Iowa, neither in Illinois not tieorgia, has any creative or organizing power manifested itself. The most that can he said in favor of the best of the resolutions that have been propounded is, that they are not as offensive or mischiev

ous a.s they might have been. '1 he Maine resolution in regard to the reconstructed State Governments is, perhaps, the worst of the lot. The others me, for the most part, vapid and purposeless. The N:itioiutl Administration :in.l the general course of Congress arc assailed, with a supreme indifference to truth but there

is no glimpse !':i broad, practical policy, nor of the presence ol the intellect which in other days rendered the party great. Where specific declarations are ventured upon, they are of a nature that will not win for the party the support of thinking. cm etui people. In the Thirteenth District of Illinois, for example, resolution"! favoring the payment of Five-twen-ties in greenbacks the taxation ol Government bonds, and the abolition of the national banking system, were adopted.— Bevond the-'.e marks oi the I'endletoninn ci'ii, Western TVnv^'r:Us V» not

Other portions of lhe speech breathed

the same spirit. It was full of hatred and bitterness towards his government at a time when not to be a patriot was to be a rebel—a time when neutrality was impossible. This speech wa read, amid loud applaue, at anti-war meetings in

the north, was paraphrased into democratic platfornu, was reprinted and ciiculated in the rebel armies, and an officer, now residing in this city, was put under ai re4 for circulating it anions 1'uion soldiers!

We ask ail voleis, and especially soldiers to look at lhis single fact: Here i-a man who say* he was "your friend,' throughout thai long and terrible struggle. Yet when your comrades, one alter another, had fallen in death, till your ranks were so thinned that you could no longer hope to cope

successfully with the enemy, whose columns were daily strengthened by the nio-t merciless conscription ever known when you were growing weaker, and the enemy stronger every hour, (icneral asked lor a conscription. !l was at this critical juncture, when your eye* turned longingly to the rear to catch a glimpse of expected reinforcement-, tint this rieat "friend'' of yours, this I W,

rose in his place in the House

and made a speech again-a the request ot

What a loving and altogether lovely 'n iend of the soldiers" was this same I). \\. ooRHKKs! this man who, when they were at the mercy ot :i victorious enemy, gave all the. weight ot his great influence against the appeal ot their commander for help—this man who instead ot •ending them tuf'ii. -fiit ihem a -peech that thev coiildn ciu nlatc without s^etiiiiy. arretted

A Few Words of Warning. Editor

ockville

How DanielLovt'd the Soldiers. Ln his present canvass Voorhees

accustomed to speak of liimselt as a very loyal map throughout the war. He liaB the effrontery to do this in the midst of a people who know that he spared no effort to embarrass the government of the United State9 and encourage the Confederacy from the inception of the rebellion to its closing hour a people who hold him in less respect than any of the leading rebel commanders, because they had the courage to risk their lives, for the cause, while he preferred to aid it in a way that insured his personal safety.

There w%s no position 111 which a rebel could do so much for the !~outh as in the Congress of the United States, and it was there that

Vooriiees

exerted every

power that he possessed to thwart the purposes of the government and brighten the prospects of his Confederate friends.

It will be remembered that there came a time—in those dark days which none of us are likely to forget—when the existence of the government depended upon the passage of a measure called the conscript bill. On the 23d of February, 1863, this loyal," patriotic" soldier's friend" made a speech in the House, on this bill, in which he said:

BftrOBLiCAX: I

stated as a fact, in the first of my series, that the Democratic party, and those co--operating with them, agreed only upon one point, i. e.: in finding fault with-all that the Republican party lias done, or may propose to do. I may sum up the proofs to advantage.

At the beginning of the war, they were opposed to "coercion'-' of the rebel States they were opposed to the war, and said war was disunion and was unauthorized by the Constitution they opposed all war loans they opposed, an far as they dared to do, the raising of volunteers- for the army they opposed the issue of war-bonds and declared that those who invested their money in them would lo3e all they paid for them they opposed the issue of greenbacks, and declared that the act of Congress authorizing them was illegal, and that consequently the issue was wholly worthless they opposed all the draft laws, and opposed their execution, even, in many cases, with armed resistance they opposed the use of negroes as soldiers in the Union army they opposed emancipation of the slaves of rebel masters, specifically, and opposed the general emancipation of slaves, as a war measure to weaken the cause of the rebellion by depriving the rebels of their main dependence for supplying their commissariat they opposed the recognition of persons of A friean descent as citizens, and opposed investing them with civil rights of citizens, necessary to their protection in life, liberty and property they opposed investing them with the ballot, for the more complete conservation of these Godgiven rights they oppose all measures looking to a return to a healthful state of the finances, by which the credit of the Government will lie fully restored and reassured, and by which their predictions ol repudiation of the public debt will be defeated they oppose all measures for raising '.lie necessary funds to meet the current expenses of the Government and to decrease the public debt by an honest payment they opposed the funding bill, recently passed by Congress, reducing the rate upon the interest-bearing debt of the nation, thus saving, annually, millions of dollars to the country. 1 might go on interminably, and enumerate the proofs of their opposition to everything that lias been done or proposed by the .Republican party. Let this suffice. But now I will see how tlul^ opponents .agree among themselves.

If any man wants to sell himself out, 1 want him to understand who are to be bis masters. I have faithfully painted the points of their agreement, and I have traced it to the end. No man can tell what the Democratic party, and theotM.s and 'iiJ,: co-operating with them against the .Republican party, are in favor of. This knowledge is not given to any human intelligence, and 1 judge that the Gods would revolt at its revelation to them, it certainly belongs neither to Heaven nor Earth, but to a third and lower world, if, indeed, it_ have an existence.

But, to the point. Mr. Pendleton, the prominent WTestern JJcandidate lor the nomination for President on the Democratic ticket was what is known as a "greenback man," understood- to be in favor of indefinite adulteration of the the currency, and the redemption of the Bonds in irredeemable paper, which was to perish in the hands of the holders— the loss of the people. His successful opponent, Mr. Seymour, representing Wall Street and August Belmont, was in favor of maintaining the credit of the Government and of paying the bonded debt in gold. Blair, the successful candidate for nomination for Vice President, was not nominated on this issue, but for paying more government tax on whisky for individual consumption than any other man in the Nation, and for the further reason that he was the avowed friend of another rebellion. The Democracy, for these reasons, ignored his declaration four years previous, that he would "rather sleep with a negro than a Democrat." Mr. Golliday, representing the Kentucky Democracy, declared in Congress in favor of undisguised repudiation of the public debt, and Mr. Mungen, of Ohio, representing a Democratic district, also prefers that made of disposing of this little incumbrance, but is willing to accept Mr. Voorhees' plan of doing the same thing indirectly, according to the Pendleton theory of "political economy." Judge Gooding, Democratic candidate for Congress in the 4th District of this State advocates issuing $1,000,000,000 of greenbacks, and letting them circulate till they are lost or worn out while the Evansville Courier, the organ of the Democracy of the 1st District, denounces greenbacks, and says if the Democracy ever get into power again, gold and silver will be the only lawful money in the country. And then we have "Colonel" Campbell, of the new recruits, with "per capita" calculation, and his bewildering columns of tigure.s, and of his gloomy forebodings of the fate of the next generation of men who are to come after us, if we do not at once commence to provide for their coming wants and supply them in advance with regular installments ot greenbacks, so that nobody may ever suffer for want of them. 1 should judge that the "Col's vanity and ambition weie fully stated, in the acknowledgment of his services by lick Bright, and by the condescension of the great Daniel in loaning his name to the circulation of ^iis wiUleiiitv-:.- liyiires, through which 110 man can pass and come out ampa.i mentis—1 mean of course, 011 "National finances." The fact is, I know nothing in logic to conipaie with the "Colonel's" reasoning, except that celebrated argument of 'uflee to I'oinp: '11 flee said to l'omp, let's.aiguefv a little. I'oiupsaid, very well, Cull'ee, pcreced. Well, said CuU'ee, Mjipo:,' I takes dis log chain and fastens 'em in dis tree, and den 1 passes tie other end through tie lork of that tree dare den 1 brings down tie tother end and fastens him round that other tree. Well, said Pomp, what next? O, nuffin, sir, nuffin at all— just for de argument sake, sir, dat'sall! The fact is I protest against any more such brain-cracking emanations on poli-ti-nl aiiiiumu. It is too much for poor human nature to bear. This "pel capita" business, and the strain of mind to comprehend the wants of our grand children in 1900—1 mean their want of greenbacks—is certainly an unlawful proceed ing, or ought to be!

And now, in all seriousness, what does any man promise himself who joins his fortunes with so unprincipled a party, and led bv such men as we have been discussing.' 1 state it as a fact, with the utmost confidence in its truth, that wl the Northern Democracy stand divided Ki the question of either covert or open repudiation of the public debt, the Southern Democracy, through whom alone the party must triumph, if they ever succeed to power, are a unit in favor of a square and totai repudiation of the debt constituting the price of their humiliation and defeat, in their attempted destruction of the Government. No intelligent man will controvert this truth: and knowing it, 1 cannot see how anv such can contri btue to the success of that party without incurring the criminality of the logical consequences which would ineviiablv result from such an untoward event.

The Approaching Epidemic. One calamity to which the death of Mr. Dickens dooms this country has not awakened the concern to which its gravity entitles it. We refer to the fact that the nation is to be lectnred to death and read to death all next winter by Tom, Dick and Harry, with poor lamented Dickens for a pretext. All the vagabonds who can spell will afflict the people with "readings" from Pickwick and Copperfield, and all the insignificants who have been ennobled by the notice of the great novelist, or transfigured by his smile, will make a marketable commodity of it now, and turn the sacred reminiscence to the practical use of procuring bread and butter. The lecture rostrums will fairly swarm with these fortunates. Already the signs of it are perceptible. Behold how the unclean creatures are wending toward the dead lion, and gathering to to the feast. "Reminiscences of Dickens." A lecture. By John Smith, who heard him read eight times.

By John Brown, who gained a wide fame by writing deliriously appreciative critiques and rhapsodies upon the great author's public readings and who shook hands with the great author upon various occasions, and held converse with him several times. "Readings from Dickens." By John White, who has the great delineator's style and manner perfectly, haying attended all his readings in this country and made these things a study, always practicing each reading before retiring, and while it was hot from the great delineator's lips. Upon this occasion Mr. W. will exhibit the remains of a cigar which he saw Mr. Dickens smoke. The relic is kept in a solid silver box made purposely for it. "Sights and Sounds of the Great Novelist." A popular lecture. By John Gray, who waited on his table all the time he was at the Grand Hotel, New York, aiuj still has in his |Hs,se-ision, and will exhibit to the audience, a fragment of the Last Piece of Bread which the lamented author tasted in this country.

And so forth, and so on. This isn half tlieli-it. The man who has a "Toothpick once used by Charles Dickens" will have to have a hearing and the man who "once rode in an omnibus with Charles Dickens," and the lady to whom Charles Dickens "granted the hospitalities of his umbrella during a storm and the person who 'possesses a hole which once belonged in a handkerchief owned by Charles Dickens." Be patient and long suffering, good people, lor even this does not till up the measure o.l what you must endure next winter. There is no creature in all this land wh^hashad any personal relations with the late Mi. Dickens, however slight or trivial, but will shoulder his way to the rostrum and inflict thia testimony upon his helpless countrymen. To some people it is fatal to be noticed by greatness.—Mark Twain,, in the Galaxy, for September.

Laud Warrants for Soldiers. From the Indianapolis Journal.] In reply to frequent inquiry concerning an act passed during the last session of Congress, in relation to land warrants for soldier^, the following information is pub lished:

Public Act, No. 185, passed on the last day of the session, contains in its last sec tion (25) a provision on this subject.

Under the original Homestead law, on ly eighty acres of §2 50 land could be entered as a homestead. By the amen datory act, any honorably discharged soldier, who has served not less th ninety days in the military, naval marine, or revenue marine service during the rebellion, is entitled to enter, as homestead, one hundred and sixty acres of $2 50 land, upon payment of the legal fee of $10, and the usual commission on the cash value of the land, allowed as compensation to the register and receiv er. An effort was made to put the law into such a shape as to entitle the soldier to a deed after a nominal settlement of two years, but this was defeated, and the requirements as to personal residence upon and improvement and cultivation of the homestead selected, are not waived or altered in any respect, they being the fundamental conditions upon which all the provisions of the original homestead law and the acts amendatory are based. The regulations under which entries of land under the above act may be made have not yet been made public by the Commissioner of the General Lant Oflice.

The benefit a soldier will derive tinder the foregoing amendment, is as follows: lie can preempt one hundred ar.d sixty acres of land, worth $2 50 per acre, while others, under the Homestead law, can ob tain but eighty acres of land.

Many of the alternate sections of land lying along the Pacific Railroad, are ye unoccupied, and being valued at tl above price, (S'J 5(1 per acrei, are open to sett lenient bv soldiers under the amendment.

It will be remembered that a residence of five years i* required in order to ao quire a title. J.

Weddings.

There are all sorts of weddings and marriages: it would tatfe many pages to register them, from the marriage of true minds to that of a couple of money bags Sometimes the bride and bridegroom are two marked figures, tricked up and disguised, so that it would be hard to which is the must deceived in the other. Sometimes it is a living creature united to a shadow. Have von ever known a man married to a doll? He chose her out ai for her. What a sweet face it is! What high bred ci.lui! Ami then, again, come to the happy lovers, two and two as they pass before the high altar.", the long liile veils ol the brides sweep along the ia* aisles ot the churches their happiness lightens up the faeeslooking on. 'i hen, perhaps, some blooming young girl comes up, bringing a crutch and a bronchial wheese. leading a wig ot false plaits, a set of artificial teeth, and half a century of bones to the altar.

The disparity is not so great as you might imagine". There may be a heart beating slillTjeneathall these adjustments, while the bridegroom, lor all hi*youth and good looks, has not one single drop of warm blood in his body. So bad, good and indifferent, they pass their way. Sometimes it is Peace and Goodwill who go by hand in hand. What does it matter if Goodwill's beard is grizzled, and Peace has crow's feet round about her loving eye? Sometimes it is Pride and Vainglory that go sweeping past down the long church out into the churchyard beyond. They are a fine-looking couple as they sail along, and they look to see their reflection in the eyes of the bystanders. Sometimes—and this is no very strange phenomenon—it is only the past of one of the contracting parties that is united to the present of the other. They find it out too late.—CornhillMagazine.

FATAL AFFRAY 15 ARKANSAS.

-,V

Dr. Knodc, of Memphis, Kills Mr. ,i Ward, of Hot Springs, say

A telegraphic dispatch was received in this city night before last, announcing thai Dr. Knode, a well-known physician of this city, had shot and killed a Mr. Ward, of Hot Springs, brother of Colonel Zeb Ward, lessee of the State Penitentiary, andjowner of the quarries of Arkansas whet-stones. We made every endeavor yesterday to glean the circumstances of the affray, but were unable to do so. We learn, however, that the causes which led to the affair were somewhat as follows:

Mr. John Ward, the deseased, had been at variance with his son-in-law, a Mr. Ammons, for some time past, and a few weeks ago shot at him as he was walking in front of Dr. Knode's office, and wounded him in the arm. The wounded man was cared for by Dr. Knode, and this aroused Ward's ire. He swore to be revenged on the Doctor, and after the affair is said to have taken every means of harassing him. Not long ago a woman came to the Springs from New Orleans, suffering from an ovarian tumor. She applied to Dr. Creighton to perform an operation on her, but he positively refused, informing her that it would cost her her life. Not satisfied with Dr Creighton's opinions she went to Dr. Knode, who, after informing her of the danger of the operation, at her earnest solicitation, undertook it. She died, as he had warned her would probably be the result, from the effect of the operation. This gave Ward an opportunity to have him arrested for malpractice, which he did. The result of the trial wo have not heard, but we are informed that the arrest was no doubt the cause of the affray which cost Ward his life the day before yesterday. His body will probably pass through here today en route for Kentucky. —Memphis Avalanche of iSalurilaij, -j:
