THERE most be something uncpm monly substantial about the New York "Evening Post." It takes that paper twice as long as any other New York journal to reach this city. 'r

THE announcement of MR. GRACE, in the JOURNAL, as a candidate for Sheriff, following on the heels of the Irish Democratic nomination of Mr. HAGGERTY for any office" on the Democratic county ticket, is a significant movement

very readily understood. Those who enjoy excitement can watch the progress of this game with interest.

THE so-called Liberal movement in Kansas seems to have had its birth in the office of a Democratic paper, the Kansas City "Times," and to have been stillborn. Even the brilliant expedient of telegraphing specials to St. Louis, mentioning as enrolled with the movement papers that had no knowledge of its existence, seems to have failed.

THE publishers of the Cincinnati "En* quirer" have been actively engaged in a lottery business, using a subscription' list of the "Weekly Times," unlawfully abstracted, for the dissemination of circulars announcing their schemes. They have thus endeavored to divert subscriptions from the "Times" under the delusive and fraudulent induce* ments which they hold out for the purpose of dishonest gain.

THE Indianapolis "Evening Journal'' compares the effect of Judge ELLIOTT'S charge to the Grand Jury upon the imperilled State Printer, to that of Bred flannel petticoat shaken in the face of a healthy bull. The State Printer paws tlie earth, and emits the most frightful beU lows of Tiige. With head down and (tail up he dashes furiously at everything, whether it be a locomotive or a brick wall. He is "bull mad" to all intents and purposes. .... 3

THE editor of the Cincinnati "Timas and Chronicle" is delighted with the Japs as speech-makers. "]He declares that a more elegant, terse, and forcible little affair than that addressed to the House of Representatives never came from the lips of foreign visitors. No weary lung work of hours, no fulsome, unmeaning flattery, no plagiarisms from BURKE and CICERO, but a speech of hard ly one minute, full of manly, graceful compliment, warm friendship, and metaphor as genuinely poetic, yet withal grave, as all the tales of Oriental suavity cquld lead us to hope for. We have only one regret—that we cannot read and comment upon it in the original, 7

Tlie Sale of Arms Investigation. The testimony taken before the Congressional Investigation Committee, on the alleged sale of arms to France, is highly interesting reading, and disposes, most effectually, of the charges against the Administration. No more complete exhibition of the entirely groundless nature of these charges could be given. And if Senators SUMNER, SOHURZ, and others, are sincere in their professions of wishing to vindicate truth and justice, they will hasten to apologize for tleir attacks on Gen. GRANT, on this question. For many months, mysterious insinuations were indulged in persistent efforts were made to poison the minds of the German citizens by intimations of assistance rendered to France, and, finallycharges were openly made in the Senate. The friends of Gen. GRANT offered an investigation without debate. But no, this would not do. Here was the mine that was to hoist GRANT out of the Presi dency, and the opportunity for speech making could not be lost. In the lengthy discussion which followed, it was evident to every reader that the attacking party were completely repulsed. GRANT stock immediately went up. And now the sworn statements ot the witnesses dissi pate the last shadow of suspicion on the good faith of our Government. So far from sympathy for France, or the improper sale of arms to French agents, or any cause for complaint on the part of Prussia, it is shown that sales were refused as soon as suspicions wei aroused, and that the German minister was on such terms with the War Department as to ask especial favors. We reproduce, and ask at tention to the following passages from yesterday's disptches:

The first witness was Secretary Belknap, who said he did not know of any sale made in violation of law. On the 13th of October, 1870, having received a telegram which gave him rea son to believe that Bemington was an agent of the French government, he immediately gave orders that no more arms should be sold to him. He had never spoken to Bemington, nor did he know until afterwards that, Bichardson was his agent at subsequent sales. He was asked whether Baron Gerolt made complaint that arms had been sold to the French government. To this question he replied "On the 15th of October, 1870, Baron Gerolt called to request that the sale of arms be postponed till next vreek. Witness informed him that our Government would sell no arms, either to the agents of the French ©r Prussian governments. Gerolt said thev were not agents who desired to buy, but that they were friends, when witness said they would have time to put in their bids by next week. To this Gerolt said they first wished to consult the Prussian government."

Major S. B. Bennett, of the Ordnance Department, explained in detail the modus

operandi of making sales and accounting for the proceeds. He disclaimed all knowledge of .'purchases being made on behalf of either France or Prussia. He remembers Baron Gerolt coming to the office and spoke in regard to having the Bale postponed for two or three days, in order to allow some German houses to bid. That is all the connection with any foreign Government that witness knew.* He knew of no protest of the German Government against the sale of arms. He should have known if had it been made. The sale of fifty thousand Springfield arms to Bemington & Co., was made by himself at private sale, at five dollars each. A few days previously, about 20,000 of the same class were offered at the Springfield armory, and the arms were withdrawn, because but $2 80 each were offered. No officer of the Ordnance or War Departments of the United States Government was interested either directly or indirectly in the way of Commissioners, otherwise,, in the sales of arms, his knowledge, nor had he any occa sion for believing that such was the case. He knew nothing about the parties whom the arms were sold having any connection with foreign governments

Party Ethics.

Jf rom the St, Louu Democrat.]

Nature works by a law almost cruel in its sternness. She never accomplishes great good without doing much incidental evil. This evil may not be intended, yet it is permitted for the sake of the superior benefit. Good with no ill may be never so desirable, but is not in the order things. The flight and roll of the spheres, the changes of the seasons, the alternations of wind, calm,., storm, sua shine, etc are grandly beneficent, yet inflict great destruction and sufferering As human nature is part of universal na tare, the same law inexorably holds in human affairs. Government and law are massive engines of good, but they are crude and work roughly, generating multitudes of minor calamities which are yet gladly accepted in preference to an archy and ruin.

It would be easy to arraign Nature and its Author for all this incidental mischief. A horrifying catalogue of disasters might be accumulated and dwelt upon till the universe would seem to be presided over by Hate, and the fabled rebellion of Satan and his legions would appear holy. It is easy to show, that injustice perpetrated through government and law, however wisely they are administered, is most palpable in character and tremendous in amount. But it would be a false phi losophy that wonld thence urge the over throw.of law and government.

A popular government is neccessarily conducted by masses of men acting concert. As necessarily they act in parh ties. Free government is majority rule and hence is inseparable from majority and minority parties. Few things are cruder than a political party. It only ex ists by virtue of some commanding ques tion ranging all the yeas on one side and all the noes on, the other. But when the ascertained majority party undertakes ad ministration, a hundred other quesitons clamor and myraid interests demand ad justment.'' There results much that no wise man approves. The governmental machine in the hands of the best party works to beneficent ends only in accord ance with Nature's inflexible law of inci dental evil.

Thus there always iB an abundance capital for dissent. There never was and never will be in the history of any politi' cal party, the time when ingenious dissent could not or cannot make out a plausible case. It has but to-look for material order to find it, and then has only to dwell upon it in order to produce an im pression. As soon as there is a motive for this work there will be a superabund ance of it be done. That motive is pro perly supplied by party opposition It is the province and duty of the minority party to drag to light every wrong or blunder for which the party of the ma icjrity can be held responsible. This the appropriate and salutary task of the opposition—appropriate since it helps the warfare of such party on the main ques' tion, and salutary because it contributes to public justice.

But as far as this work is appropriate to the opposition, it is inappropriate to the friends of the majority party. Their proyince as patriots and honest men is prescribed by their conviction on the main question. They cannot conscientiously help the opposition to use even real grievances for the overthrow of their own party. For the pai ty's sake, for the ake of the right cstnse on the supreme issue, and for the Make of the right on. minor issues, they will opposie the wrongs and errors in their own party, but they will not carry that opposition to hostility to the party itself. At least they will not do it as long as they remain true to the cause for which that party stands. While they abide faithful to that cause they must and will leave such extreme opposition to the party's enemies. So to leave it can involve no sacrifice of principle. By the very act of joining a party, still more by that of accepting a great trust from its hands, a citizen proclaims that f6r him the main question dividing parties is of first moment, and that he agrees to sacrifice minor ones to its security.

These views will be accepted as sound by thoughtful men. Let us apply them to the present' situation. In the Senate of the United States we see the Democratic opposition actually abandoning to .Republicans an essential part of its opposition to the Republican party. Democratic Senators sit dumb and passive while Bepublican Senators wage on minor issues a warfare calculated to distract and defeat their own party on its leading is sue. Do we not accurately state the case? There certainly exists a Bepnblican party having a special and grand work to do, It is to defend, maintain and consummate the war adjustment embodied in the amendments to the Constitution. Those amendments, in the very terms of them, explicitly devolve their enforcement upon Congress. The next Congress will discharge or repudiate that duty as it shall be a Bepublican or Democratic Congress. The present duty of Bepublican Senators cannot be to perform the functions of the Democratic opposition more effectively than Democratic Senators themselves could, to the end of Bepublican defeat and Democratic victory in the next Congress.

Let the truth be understood. Mr. Schurz has distinctly declared his dissent from the Bepublican party on its main issue with the Democratic party, the enforcement of the amendments. That is now the sole vital question between parties, embodying in itself all that has been accomplished by Bepublicans as registered in the Constitution. When Mr. Schurz says he does not go over to the Democrats, he can mean little more than that with them he stands by accomplished facts. Why should he assail these when even Democrats have ceased to do so! They now take their position against Congressional enforcement of the amendments, and ho takes his stand with them. Nevertheless, claiming to be a Bepublican, he executes for them a party service which they could not do, and which he himself could not perform otherwise than by professing still to be a Bepublican.

It was a.bright and beautiful morning in August, when Thompson Dunbar, the courageous young Mormon, led his bride to the altar. There i?ere Ihirty-two of her and as ehe walked tip the aisle, leaning upon the arms of thirty-two of Thompson Dunbar's friends, the eye of Thompson Dunbar beamed with joy, and he gazed with joy into her lovely young face with bright anticipations of future happiness in the company of every one of her. In a few moments the ceremony was over, and these thirty-three, wejre made one flesh, and Thompson Dunbar and his wife retreated down the aisle in single file and went to their :humble home in nine carriages. -But .unalloyed: bliss was not to be the portion of Thompson Dunbar and his numerous bride. He was a sailor and after lingering for a f$w days he kissed Mrs. Dunbar goodbye, and weeping upon her necks he tore himself away and went to rove on the billows of the Pacific ocean. One night there was a' fearful tempest, and the .gallant bark, after a prolonged contest with the elements, sank to rise no more. All on board were lost but Thompson Dunbar. This intrepid tar lashed. himself securely to the binnacle, and so sustained himself in the seething foam for two days. At the end of that time he was cast

ashore upon a desert, island, which was fany only nine feet long by six feet wide. —1 Upon landing Mr.

Dunbar

surveyed the

rock -and, after drafting a map of it, lie took possession of it in the name of the United States, and manufactured a flag from his pocket hankerchief and red flannel shirt, which he hoisted on the island. Here he lived for fifteen years on whatever fat could be found in the land. He held elections twice every yearrand celebrated the Fourth of July and Washington's birth-day regularly when they came around, by reading the Declaration of Independence and singing the Star

years in luxurious -ease, doing all he could to be-comfortable. But he* never Ceased to mourn his separation from his wife, and to long to clasp her, one after another, to his bosom.

would go up at evening and stand once at each of the thirty-two windows and gaze but toward the ocean, straining all sixty-three of her eyes (one of Mrs. Dunbar's had a cataract) to catch a glimpse of her Thompson. But Thomp son did not come and as a feeling of sad ness stole over her soiil, Mrs. Dunbar would bow her heads over the infants in her arms and weepi while she. sang thirty-two lullabys, and accuse Bome other one of her singing flat add ot not keeping time. But at last she gave return, and

Truly it w£« a lovely domestic scene— that affectionate little family collected about its peaceful hearthstone. But when Thompson Dunbar saw it, he understood its meaning at a glance, and wildly shrieking "False, false!" he fell to the ground and groaned and wept, and wished that he had been born a Shoshone Indian rather than that he should have seen this day.

But Thompson Dunbar bravely determined not to disturb the serenity of that happy household so he walked back to his hotel and went to bed, and told the landlady that after he was dead she must send for Mrs. Jones to come and look at him. "What for?" asked the landlady. "All of her," said Dunbar. And then finding that the vital spark had fled, Thompson Dunbar closed his eyes, and his sunny spirit winged its way into the empyrean.

The funeral took place next day and

At last, having given up all hope of ever seeing ber dear Thompson, Mrs. Dunbar, by a vote of 27 to 4-^-the woman with the cataract not voting—consented to become the wife of Arbutus Jones.

An interval of ten years elapses be~ tween this part of the story and that which is to come.

Thomas Dunbar, at the end of his fifteenth year oh the island, was rescued by a boat club which was passing by on its 1. I 4 -R% TTT ~T~ way to a regatta. He went home to Utah, 4:1

and marched up the hill to his house, in the evening, wondering which of. Mrs. Dunbnrs he would kiss first, so as to make the others jealous and sacrifice his hair. There was a light in the window, and Thompson thought he would peep in before he presented himself. What a hor rible spectacle met his eyes! There he saw his wife sitting up against the wall on all four sides of the room, and a few of her gathered around the centre-table knitting. And Arbutus Jones, his old rival, occupied the arm-chair and held six infants on each knee, while he tried to amuse one hundred and thirty-eight other children who were playing on the floor, and to rock seven cradles with his toes and a coupling-machine of-his own invention.
