After-Thoughts.

Tu Democratic prcMli agnin whistling to keep its courage up. Another (pries or Vf*> W#»«, leavlpK the DetncxVAs high afed try upon the beach of disaster, as usual. And now the W*tU, Ttmss, and teaser lights, are busy showing that the returns justify the prediction that rMptflctttStfviU cn DemMUktic. It ► ng< tl.s organs of defeat go over the same lingo, fbr the hundredth time finding consolation in the hopes that have as often been doomed to disupßpUitnisnt. The ant of the reading bodnltrilrife'perse'madddin carting home •'kernel of corn is hckl up to youthful admiration, and commended as an example worthy-of imitation, had no more persistence than the Democracy. “ The revolution, Says the Timet, “in Pennsylvunia and Ohio, so nearly successful this fall, will go on until those two great States release themselves from Republican mis rulec*’ * ‘ • 1 This has been said so often that its present repetition is simply ridiculous, especially in the fhcc of the following confession .- “Mr. Pendleton was beaten because he was a Democrat." Certainly. There was no other reason possible. In everything except politics “ Gentlemanly George ” is a pxxi citizen, highly estceinad by all who know him. Had he be«n a ytepifilicnn, ,he amid have been Governor of the State king ago. The re- 1 fusal of his fellow citizens to trust him is solely due to his politics—because ho is a Democrat. If the party to which he belongs find the honey of consolation in this fact, they are entirely welcome to it, comb and all. To our Republican mind it seems very clear that asserting that a candidate owes his defeat to his party, is equivalent to saying thnt ®id party is at t sficn « law febb that even with a man personally popular it cannot win. IV hat stronger proof could be given of the utter demoralization of the once grand army of Democracy ? The Tunes reaches the climax of absurdity when it declares, “as for the. Democracy of Ohio and Pennsylvania, they 'hkvjc in, vdry dried and truth, fought a ■ v gt>od and fclnrkms fight, and have more than achieved success, because they have deserved it” How domes it that success has suddenly become undesirable? Do the grapes hang too high to be sweet? This after thought gives rise to questions like these. One thing is certain, the achievement of defeat is not at all difficult, and to deserve success in the opinion of par|y friends is equally easy. The Democracy of those States have therefore, on the Tirnes plan, a glorious future. They are certain to more than achieve success at every election. If, in an evil hour, the party should abandon its present organization and name, it might share the same fate as the Whig party did when it metamorphosed itself into the Republican party. Before that, it could, as a rule, count on more than success, but from that hour it sank to the plane of mere success. The chronic disasters of the party were swallowed up in victory, and the state of things so satisfactory to the Timex, ceased to exist. Let the Democracy take warning and beware of the rock on jyhich the Whigs shattered the bark of “more than success.” The result in Pennsylvania is important hr the rebuke it administers to ambition - aspiring to high official honor through the agency of gold. Packer’s millions availed him nothing. He fought, bled and—died. His hundreds of thousands were thrown away. Pendleton did not, so far as we know, attempt to buy his way into the Gubernatorial office; but he tried to win by telling the'peoplejhowlthey mightchcat their public creditors. In both Stales, therefore, the especial lesson of the campaign is the same. Ohio and Pennsylvania say, in different language, but to the same purport, precisely : In politics, as in business, honesty is the best policy.— C.'iiSour it til.

The President and the Geld Excitement.

The New York Ledger publishes the . fallowing correspondence between Robert Bonner ana General Grant • “ NkW York, Oct. 11,180 D. “My D*\n Gexbiia i. : As I stated to you immediately after your election that . Lhere wua no office which either . for myself or aay fHetfV? have baa no occasion to write to you in regard to such, matter*. There is a matter now, however, that concerns you personally, and in which I feel that I discern your interest so plainly 1 that 1 take the liberty to write to you with reference to it. Ido this with less Bcsitstion because you did me the honor, after your election, to confide to me pretty fully your views. “In the present disturbed state of the public mind concerning t lie recent gold combination's it not the quickest and surest way to set at rest the great excitement and uneasiness which, prevail, for you to make a brief denial, over your own signature, of all foreknowledge of that combination, in order to relieve yourself entirely from all responsibility for the acts of others? Of course those' who know you personally do not require such disclaimer; .but the great public, whose minds are liable to be warped by the determined and persistent efforts to injure you, will be, it seems to me, at once satisfied and quieted by such a statement. Sincerely yours, “Rob’t Bonner. “ President Grant.” “ Washington, D. C., Oct. Id, 18G9. “ Robert Bonner, Etoj.: “UKar Sir: Your favor of the 11th inst. is received. I have never thought ,:ojf jcantrarticting statements or insinuations made against me by irresponsible parties, as those alluded to in your letter, but as you have written to me on the sub-' . ject in so kind a spirit, I will say that I have no more to do with the late gold excitement in New York city than yourself, or any other innocent party, except that I ordered the sale of gold, to break the ring engaged, as I thought, in a most disreputable transaction. If the sneculatrirs had been successful, you would never have heard of any one connected with the administration as being connected with the transaction. Youis truly, - - “ U. S. Grant. “P. S.

Ben Wade’s Indorsement of President Grant.

v < In a speech at Akron, Ohio, the other night, Ex-Senator Wade said: ia »“ Mr. Pendleton says you are ground down With the debt, and oppressed so that you can hardly breathe. But every dollar of the debt must be pa id,''though yon are t# be relieved from taxation. How, brother Pendleton, can you relieve the people from taxation, and yet pa}' off the debt ? If you can tell us that, God knows I will be with you. I don’t •ee how it can be done; bfct Ido eav, to dishonor the debt, and thus wrong those Who lent their credit to the Government ih the time of its greatest necessity, would be one of the most shameful acts men could do. Why. sirs, fifteen years will wipe out every dollar of this great debt, if other Administrations do as well a the Administration of General Grant ha done to far. I believe that, under God, tl.e Administration is performing its duties with an honesty of purpose, and determination to do the right to save every dollar that can be saved, and apply it to the liquidation of the debt, and that is my idea of financiering. It is a kind of homely but l know of none better, end General

I have never ycl swerved one single inch from them, and never will. I feared General Grant might nqt hold to those principles as firmly and safely as I did, because he bad occupied no position which had called upon him to bring them out. Ifwoutd have chosen a man, if l could have had my own way, who had been tried by fire, and in whom ws knew there was no shrinkage. But, sirs, General Grant has lieen tried. You sec his dealings with the South ; you see his appointments in the- •gents of the Government, and you find them all of the glorious stripe yon and I would want to put in. We know. now. his heart is steeped in the great Republican doctrines. 1 cun glad to aacuriain this fact beyond a doubt.”

fProra the Toledo Blade] AH AFFETTINU INCIDENT AT VICKSIU Hole — THE IUKKEKENCK lIETWEES 1859 AND ISO#— vntimely dbatit or col. Leonidas SLAsnRR. Vixscitu,ilrtck 1* in the State nv Mississippi. I oct. », ih«s, t One uv the most affcctin residents wich ever come under my notis. transpired at the Southern Cross Hotel, in this city, yesterday. 1 hev wept oshens uv tears in my dajL and Ucv seen all sorts uv horrible dtatlis, out never one wich tcched my heart az the untimely decease uv Col. Leonidas Slasher uv the interior, wich took place yesterday. I regretted the Kernel’s death for meny reasons. I bed only made bis acquaintance five days, (he lied bin in town that ’time,) and hed consckently only succcoded in borcrin sl3 uv him ; $3 at One time and *5 at two other times. He lied money and wus flush with it; and I hed confidently counted on mibsistin on him for at least four weeks. Tmo his death settlea wat 1 borrered uv him, but that’s no oonsulaslien, Et soon cz he bed got well acquainted with me, h«’d a never thought uv askin me for it anyhow. In addishun to this greef wich is purely personal to myself, the Colonel wuz a chivalrous Southerner uv the old skool. He wuzn’t in the Confiederit servia hisself, but sich wuz his dcvoshen to the coz that he forced into the field ail the poor wliitea in his visinity, and huntid sich es woodnt go, out uv the country with dorgs. He wus a troo gentleman. lie wore ruffled shirts, took the Nationel Intelligencer and drank his brandy-and-water without water. The Kernel knowd that the war wuz over—that the South hod bin subjugated, and reconstructed, but hedn’t any ideq uv the changis wich hed takcq place. He bed lived on his plantashcn out uv the reech uv the world all this time. He sposed that reconstruction meant simply that ef-1m shood be elected to Congris, he wood hev to go to Washington to set insted uv Richmond, wich he expectid to do next yeer. The Kernel and I wpz in the orfis nv the hotel, when his bcamin eye liappinin to rest on the Register, it lighted onto this name :

“ Wendell Phillips—Boston, Mass.” The Kernel staggered ez tho he hed bin struck in the face. ” Wendsll Phillips! in Vixburg! Good Hcvcns! where is he ?” Capt. McVay, wich wuz settin by, pintcd to a tall, gaunt man, in a stove-pipe hat, wich wuz settin by. the stove readin the Noo York Herald, and remarks “ that must be him.” * The Kernel gritted his.teeth, and an expression uv intense pleasure rested onto his countenance. “Capten, git a rope. Major, see es that lamp post is high onuff to string this Yankee up to, and Ginpral, fit some uv the boys together iminejitly. ’JI help hang one more Yankee afore I die, anyhow!’’ __ i

And tha impetuous Kernel made for the spozed Phillips. He slapt him in the face, at wteh the Yankee rizand floored theKernek and St it they went, tooth and toempii —the tvnst small file I ever saw. They was finally dragged apart by the clerk of the hotel- and " the by-etaiulfO—*he two wuz arrested by a policeman handy by, and dragged off to a magistrate’s offis, when upon a liner in uv the eaett the Kernel wuz fined S2O and costs. ‘‘Wat is this?” he asked. “Fine mb* for lickin a Yankee* with we wuz about to "bang ? Why, Squire, do you knoOrlwho I am, and who he is ?” “ Sh! Sh! ” sed the Kernel’s friends, wich bed just rusht in. “ Pay yer fine—“it woodent do for iis*to hcv yeo let off for lickin a Ablishnist. The niggers wooelent like it, and it wood lose us their vote.

Payvapd say nothin.” ..rrj , ; “Wat! ” replied tnc Kernel, turnin pafek They sakl nothin, but paid the fine for him and hurried him away. The Kernel went to his room in a most fearful state uv mind, mutterin ez he walked, -‘ Can’t lick an Ablishnist in Vixburg! Fine me for lickin Ablishnists to please a set uv d—d niggers I Can’t lick an Ablishnist wat ■ When he got to his room he sat down and drawd a long sigh. Buryin his face into his hands, hc.wept a half hour, and then fell faintin from his chair. I picked the old man up and put him to bed," after wick I chafed his limbs with whiskey and put a bottle uvit to his lips arid mine. lie showd some signs uv life, and in pcrliaps an hour, cood utter words in a faint and feeble way.

* vv “* w " • “I—can't—hang—a Ab—lislmist any more ! Oh ! ” And the poor old man relapst. I struggled with him for fiftoen minits, when he again opened his eyes. This time he wuz calni tho’ he spoke with an evident effort. “Nasby," sed he in a hoarse whisper, “ it’s time I wuz gone. It’s time that the old stock cither died peaefly or committed eooicide. There ain’t no more room, for cm. I never thot ten years ago that the time wood ever come' when I coodnen.t hang a nigger or a Ablishnist in Mississippi ; but it hez come and I’m a comberer uv the ground. First my 1 " nigger’s is set free ; next, they vote; then I'm' fined for lickin a Ablishnist, and finally I'm told that I musn’t hang one uv em. Good Lord ! wat is there left to live foy{ Here, take this rope, take these pistols, and this bowie knife, and bang em up in remembrance uv me. I die sad and glad. Sad to think things is ez they is—glad to go ez I can’t better em.”

At this pint I fed him with a little whiskey out uv a spoon. 5 Hold my handsteddy,” sed he, “ while 1 write a note given yoo these keepsakes, that no one may question yoor rite to em.” He wrote this time on a leaf uvhis memorandum book, and makin a mosben ez tho he wuz t}' en * knot under some one’s ear, died, His last words wuz. “ Spades is trumps; black's the winnin soot.” _ I wept a tear or two and composed hie limbs. “ Here ” thot I, “is a victim uv tknalyciem. Here is an ornament to hiz sex, cut down in his old age by a change uv customs which he coodent endoor. Thank Heaven, I am strong enuff to endoor it” And havin arranged the body decently I altered his will in wich he bequeathed me hiz rope, pistol and knife, so ez to include hiz trunks and contents, and t&kein his pocklt book out uv his breeches I busted into a paroxysm uv grief in which I wuz found when the inmates uv the house arrived. * ' The sons uv the deceased came to Vlxburgh the next day and took the old gentleaiin’s remains awav, pay In »U his bills

Cause and Effect.

The Republicans carried Philadelphia fin Tuesday by aliout 4,000 majority. • At the October election last year tho vote stood ns follows: Republican Wl.fi3-1 Democratic ; It was cliarged by the Republicans that frrim six to eight thousand fraudulent votes-were polled by the Democrats, and, to put# stop to such practice, a stringent registry law was passed by the Legislature, by means of which only legal votes can get into the ballot, and we now see the effect—the Republicans carry the fcity by four thousand majority without putting forth anything like their still effort. — Exchange.

It renders them mote pervious to light and heat, and also corrects their acidity, by combining with some of the chemical salts in the soil, making plant food of poison. 4. Summer tallowing is the most efficient and profitable means .of preparing strong shlls for wheat, and of begiiiriirig a rotation, after grass has been grown for a length of trine. ■ t ~ . 5. Green Crops plowed under, when in the most succulent state, are powerful auxiliaries in rendering a light soil fertile; but if this is done too often, successively, the Soil becomes overcharged with carbonaceous matter. C. Leached ashes applied in large quantities to sandy soils, or those containing too much vegetable humus, will greatly ameliorate their condition, and render them more compact. 7. There is no soil so poor or sterile but some mode may be’found of amok orating and enriching it. / % tv 8. Blowlfig safids may'be gradually made pnxiuctive by spreading six inches thick of straw over them, to remain till ratted. Then seed thickly with clover on the surface, without plowing,, and when the clover has taken hold ana becomes established, pasture sheep upon the land for two or threeyears preparatory tomarntring and cultivating It. • t - 9.

The Canada Thistle.

IVe often allude to thistle vilest pest the farmer has to contend against when it is allowed to get a foothold. We say allowed; because it cannot get a.foothold where a farm is free of it except it has permission to do so from the occupier of the land. It usually visits him in purchased seeds, or it may steal over his lines from the lands of a careless neighbor; but in either event it is easy to dispatch it if taken in time, and the former who neglects to take it in time and destroy root and branch, is disqualified to be the tiller of •the soil, and besides commits an offence against the law, and the community which the law is intended to protect. Where only a few thistles make' their ►appearance, as they commonly do in patches, they should be totally removed, not a piece of root the size of a finger-nail should be left r,y it will produce a sjioot.

Feeding Potatoes to Hogs.

An lowa - correspondent of the Wettern Rural writes that paper as follows: I didn’t like the idea of hauling my potatoes fifteen miles to market ana selling them for 25 cents per bushel, so I commonced feeding them to my fattening hogs raw. The hogs appeared to be very fond of them at first, but they soon commenced to “mince over them ,r (made their teeth sore I suppose). 1 then boiled and mushed them while hot, and put bran with them, one bucket of bran to three of potatoes, adding water enough to make a thick slop. I give them this mixture three times a day, and a little corn in the ear, at the same time. "The hogs have fattened much faster witli this feed than they did when I fed them all the raw corn they would est with bran slop to drink. I don’t think they would do better on any other kind of fuea. The pig pen is my potato,market this year. Of course it is not necessary to mush the |M>tatoes to get the hogs to cat them, but I think to mash them with bran they will do better on it—especially in wurm or mild weather—than they would if givcu alone. To Make Parer Transparent.—Artists, architects, land surveyors, and all who have occasion to make use of tracing paper in their professional duties will be glad to know that any paper capable of the transfer of a drawing in ordinary ink, pencil, or water colors, and that even a stout drawing paper, can be made as transparent as the thin, yellowish paperat present used for tracing purposes. The liquid used is benzine. If the paper be damped with pure and fresh distilled benzine it at once assumes a transparency, and permits of the tracing being made, and of ink or water colors being used on its surface without any “running.” The paper resumes its opacity as the benzine evaporates, and if the drawing is not completed, the requisite portion of the paper must be again damped with the benzine. The trans parent calico, on which indestructible tracings can be made, was a most valuable invention.and t his new discovery of the properties of the benzine will prove of further service to many branches of the art profession, in allowing the use of stiff paper where formerly only a' slight tissue could be used.— Exchange.
