In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

ST. TAMMANY.

The saintly character of the New York Democracy is proverbial, but tbe fact that its tutelary genius was ever canonized is not so generally known.

Tammany, orTammennnd, (the name is variously written,) was an Indian chief ot the Delaware nation, and lived about the middle of the 17th century. He resided in the country which is now Delaware, until he was of age, when he moved beyond the Alleghanies and settled on the banks of the Ohio. His influence in this region is still felt, and to it may be traced much of that gentleness and peculiar loveliness of character that adorns the present Kentucky politician. It was here that Tammany became a chief sachem of his tribe, and, being always a friend of the "white man's" party, he often restrained his warriors from deeds of violence when the price of whisky was up, and pelts down. His rule was always discreet, and he endeavored to induce his followers to abandon the old, savage style of warfare teaching that it was better and more safe to make their little excursions at night, disguised with masks and black gowns, and that the use of the halter and cat-'o-nine-tails was more refined and far preferable to the tomahawk and scalping knife. The readiness with which these artless children of nature accepted his pious teachings, and the proficiency doveloped in the use of*the ropo, so pleased the patriarch that he thereafter playfully called them his little "Ku Kluxes." When Tammany became old, he called a council of the ring," and Boss" Tweed was chosen his successor on the thirty-ninth ballot, and the headquarters of the tribe was soon afterward removed to New York. Tradition relates that he was so disgusted with tho trickery displayed in Tweed's election that ho spent the residue of his life in melancholy retirement.

When, or by whom, he was first styled Saint does not appear, but he was long ago chosen to be the patron of tho Democracy and, even as the sublime virtues of "Boss" Tweed cannot insure his own canonization before death, Saint Tammany will doubtless retain his position for,many yoars.

THK Republican city ring of New Orleans bids fair to rival the Tammany ring of New York in the magnitude and audacity of its swindling. The last meeting of the Council passed an ordinance authorizing tho extension of the ('ity Water Works on the 1 lolly plan, and authorizing tho issue of $2,500,000 for that purpose. An ordinance was also introduced to lease the Water Works to tho City Water Works Company for twenty-five years, and authorizing the parties to mortgage the works for $2,000,000. Discussing tho measure of leaving tho works to an Administrator, DoLassingee (colored) produced a certificate for 1,000 bonds, of $100 each, stock issued to John Ixckwood and endorsed by Lock wood. Mr. DeLassingee stated that they had been given him to secure his vote for themostsure. The Mayor stated that every member of the Council had been approached. He had seen hundreds of dollars' worth of stock offered to one of them. Administrator Walton stated that he had been offered a sum which would make him independent for life,to supportjthe measure.

This journal has not favored capital punishment yet it feels warranted in the belief that so long as there is a statute authorizing execution for any crime, its privileges and rewards should be extended to those shameless legislators who accept bribes, and to the scoundrels who corrupt them.

UKVKT.ATION« concerning the abortion business In New York, growing out of recent investigations, show that it has grown to appalling proportions, and that it is carried on with system similar to legitimate business. One New York paper contains thirteen advertisements of persons engaged in this avocation. Dr. ltosenwig, who is now tinder arrest, told a reporter recently that be would attend to an ordinary owe of altortion for two hundred dollars, and that he had facilities for furnishin« marriage and burial certificate*. This much he said in th« belief that the reporter had called in good (kith to solicit his services. Thus it •eetns that Roaenwig, and others engaged in the aamo avocation, have means for whitewashing soiled reputations committed to their care, a* well aa a sort of legal blind for committing the remains ol their butchered victims to the grave without the intervention of a Ooroner's jnry or the proper certificate of death from natural causes. That such atrocities can be perpetrated openly in the first city of America is alraoai beyond com prehension. The story of time crtwea would darken the most brutal period ot he world*s history.

THK air has been filled with rumors of impending European wars. Dangerous complications are conjured up« but we fail to see the death's head and cross bones, typical of actual war, in the clouds of conjecture with which the columns of newspapers are filled. Some time ago Heligoland was a obtain cause of war between England and Germany, and now rumors are thick of a war between France and Russia on one side, and Germany, Austria and Italy, on the other. We do not credit them. France is broken down, and Germany, though victorious, has hardly been less severely punished than France. Austria Ijas been sick of war since the disastrous campaign of 1866, and the interests of Italy point to a policy of peace. The Czar can hardly desire war. He has recently gained all that he asked for in the Black Sea. He has made liberal concessions to his people since he has reigned, and he will hardly be so unwise as to be drawn into a war which will cost him much money and the loss of many subjects. We trust that the civilized world has entered upon an Era of Peace, and that it will continue in it until war will be universally recognized as a relic of barbarism to be encouraged in nations no more than robbery- or rape, or murder in individuals .!»

IT is a serious question whether tbe very prosperity which now marks America as a favored land will not, in the end, prove its ruin. The colossal fortunes of the country are mounting up to the most extraordinary magnitude. Commordore Yanderbilt is worth eighty millions, Asa Packer, fifty millions, and A. T. Stewart, thirty millions. After the just settlement of the question of equal civil and political rights to all, regardless of sex, the great question to agitate the country will be the contest between Labor and Capital. Those who believe that America has a destiny tor good which is not yet half accomplished will not doubt that she will emerge safely from such a conflict. In the meantime it Js necessary for monopolies to become more greedy, and for capital to become more oppressive, in order to awaken the people to a proper appreciation of the dangers which surround them. jf,

THE victories of Grant in the field were not more brilliant than the financial triumphs ol his administration. The last of the five per cent, bonds have all been taken. Taxation has been decreased, and a largo portion of tho principal of the public debt has been paid. Tho recent upheavals in Europe have satisfied the monied world that no country has so many elements of financial strength and securitv as the United States. It is as clear as-Uiy-thing in the futnro^can be thatWllr. Boutwell will jttlo difficulty iri funding the wnole of the remaining debt at five per cent. Not less honor should be given to tho gentlemen who have solved with credit to the nation, the difficult question of our financial future, than to the scldiers who so bravely maintained her honor in the field and to the reformers who have held her true to liberty.

THK", increasing accuracy or tne system of weather telegrams is gratifying to all classes throughout the country, and farmers are already governed, to some extent,by these reports. As they become more accurate,extended and reliable, agriculture will be benefitted, as farmers will bo enabled to make their plans for harvesting and storing their crop in favorable weather. Tho number of places ofobservation is being increased, the new stations being at inland towns and cities in the United States and some in Canada, tho increase being mado to afford facilities to Agriculturalists. It seems Congress had in view, when it adopted the present system of reports, tho subsequent enlargement thereof, the present tno being only intended to aid in shipping and navigation upon the lakes and along our coast.

IN France there are more *han three hundred colleges, not ono of which is for women. No wonder that the people of that unhappy country have failed heretofore in their struggles for freedom. No nation is truly groat which denies ample education and opportunity to women. Tho strength of the masses must be the ontgrowth of woman's culture. "There need be no more fear that a woman will be made less a woman by education than that a rose will be utade less a rose l»y cultivation." s'fct

Population does not always determine the importance of a city. For instance, Constantinople does not d©wrve to rank in the same class with either of the other cities 'named. It is not a great center of political, soeial, or commercial influence.

THK Germans in New York city.who came (torn Germany without serving ont their time in tbe Landwher.met recently to devise some means of escaping tho punishment to which they will be snl^ect it they ever return to the German Empire, the praises of which have been sounded by nearly every German in A merle*. Wo rail to see the merits in a form of government which is a terror to tin former ctticcns who are guilty of no crime.

FM HUGH LKK and other rebel officers have issued a call for an organisation of the rebel army of Northern Virginia, for the purpose of preparing a history of its operations in the rebellion, and taking steps to have a monument erected to the memory of the late Robert E. Lee. This is a good opport unity for the Express to tell us by what lawful process these Virginia rebels can be prevented from thns celebrating the memories of their recent iniquities.

THE New York Tribune says: "Of the 38,555,983 population of the United "States, it is now reported from the "Censns Bureau only 4,968,994 are black, copper-colored, and yellow. Of these only 63,254 are Chinese, so that the prospect of the proud Caucasian race being swamped by Mongolians or negroes is very remote indeed."

MR. COLFAX announces that he is for Grant for next President against the world. He does not want any office himself, having determined to settle down quietly and devote himself to the manufacture of non-ex plosive and antiscorbutic s^ectacle^^^^^

THE truly good Bismarck does not believe in robbing God by Sunday labor. The t. g. B. has usually done so much robbing of week days that he can well afford to hold up on Sunday.

ANOTHER OPINION.

Speaking of the recently expressed opinion of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, that "women dress to please the men," a correspondent of the "Woman's Journal" thinks that Miss Phelps does not know women, and says that women dress for each other's eyes. They fear each other's criticisms and ridicule more than anything living. "To have Mrs. Lofty say our velvet is cottonback, our laces imitation, our dress an old one turned wrong side out and bottom side up, and retrimmed to hide old seams, is all but death itself. To have Mrs. Pompous survey us from head to foot, and compute the probable cost of our outfit—ana she can do it to a dollar—is wretchedness ofthe deepest dye." "Put a bit of fringe" she says, "where last year your dress was stylish in ruffles, and Bean Brummeleven will not recognize the ancient garment. Half cover it with fringe, and Beau's lady-love will detect the subterfuge and strait, and, oh the pity that will shine through her sidelong glance at it!*' The same correspondent imagines a scene where a gentleman attends an evening gathering a little bit seedy, and, upon being asked about it in a joking manner, ho makes significant signs and his old comrades nudgo each otner, and prophesy, "He'll be a rich fellow." "And Dick's bride?" she asks."Let her dare wear a seedy shawl or oldfiishioned bonnei, and her dear five hundred friends whisper, 'Her husband is an old curmudgeon—she's on a paltry allowance.'" Farther along she says sensibly, that there is no earthly reason why a woman should be tricked out like a doll, and a man be clothed decently and comfortably, but the one furnished by public sentiment, which makes woman a heathen idol, and man hor worshiper. He hangs trinkets in her ears and on her arms, and blind faith says she blesses him in return.

GOOD NATURE ANAOTED.—There are many persons who suppose that good nature is kindness. It has not one attribute of i*v necessarily. Half the time good nature-is good digestion, that is all. Halfthe time good nature is nerves well sheathed in adipose matter. Many men do not feel, ana are not irritated and why should they not be kind and easygoing? Why, I can show vou hundreds of blessed, sweet-cheeked, sunnyfaced, plump-bodied men, who go through the world kindlv. I do not undervalue them. They lubricate the ways of life, but they ought not to call themselves by false names. Good nature is a good thing, but, after all, it is a very superficial thing. Tt is far more physical than mental. And it is not active it does not energize anything it does not suffer for tbe sake of doing good to other people. There are many acerb men there are many rough, severe men, who, though they will hew you with their tongue, will put forth ten times as much true served love for you as these waxy-cheeked, goodnatured, addomlnal men.

A DETECTIVE OUTWITTED.—'Theother day a New Orleans detective arrested a man on suspicion of having stolen a diamond pin. Being hard pressed tho thief owned up, and surrendered up the jewel to the officer, who placed it in bis shirt bosom. On the way to the lockup the officer and prisoner goton board a horse car, and in doing so the former was considerably jostled by a crowd on the platform. Just then tho prisoner whispered in his ear,— "Lookout, captain, that was a thief who parsed you just now."

The officer glanced hurriedly at his shirt front. Tbe pin was gone. He sprang from the car and started in pursuit of the imaginary thief. It is needless to say he was not to be found and when he returned his former prisoner was missing also. The next day the vigilant detective had his already overwrought (feelings lacerated anew by the receipt of a pencil line, saying,— "Captain, I'm gone I take the pin with me it was too nice to give up.''

HKRK are noble words from Robert Dale Owen uttered at tbe funeral of his wife

I do not believe—and here I speak also for her whose departure from among us we mourn to day—I do not believe more firinly in these trees that spread their shade~over us, in this hill on which we stand, in those sepulchral monuments which we see around us here—than I do that human life, once granted, perishes never more. A deatbchango there is, often terrible to witness, leaving us behind desolate and forsaken foe a few yearn on earth, bat no death. We never go down to tbe grave. It'e cannot be confined within the tomb. It Is a cast-ofT garmentsacred, indeed, as are sacred all mementoes which memory connects with those we have loved and lost— but yet it is only a cast-off garment, encoffined, to which are paid tjie rites of sepulture.

And golden the future ter stretching away. Two launch their boat for a voyage of long sailing,

The bright npples play, and tbe wind is

While the red light ofthe morning is foiling. Sturdy and strong sails the bark—dtp the oar!

Two, hand in hand, climb over ths mountain, Footsore and weary ftom tempest and toil, With only a moment to drink from the fountain,

Renewing their strength for to-morrow'* turmoil.

Two, when the Autumn hath put on it*

Sit by tfie scores of the beautiful Past Whose solemn waves break with a wonderful story

Of fanciful ships that went down in th* blast.

Two, in the chill of the snowy PerfMfcber, Talk of the Winter that IsaHrto tbe Spring Two sit and dream, over foggot and ember.

Of castles In air, and of burls on the wing.

Two lie at rest under blossoming roses Winter sifts over them gently the tnow Sunlight of summer above them reposes

Their places are filled, and the years come and go!
