The rebel Democracy make frequent use of this phrase, as a term of oppro tinra in respect to regular Republican o-gauization, with a' view of weakening the attachment of Republicans to their trusted leaders, and as means "of di verting Republican voters from their party fealty. The veritable machine of Tammany politics, which grinds out policies and candidates wholly without popular consultation, is never alluded to. It is the regular Republican or ganization anywhere, which, when Democrats are not permitted to dictate its course or control its nominations riecomes in Democratic language, the Republican machine. And it is just that "machine" that thty are afraid ot. The regular organization of the Re publican party is the power which the Democracy has strugg'ed in vain to t.vercorae ; it is the power which kept the country united wheu the Democracy essayed its dismemberment ; it is the power which stayed attempted Demo cratic surrender during the rebellion. and the only power which lias with stood the rebel efforts to recapture the nation since the w ar ; it is the Grand Artny which keeps step to the music of the Union and marches right on to re newed and overwhelming victory. If it could only be killed by a sneer, how easy the Democratic party might win! POOH FELLOW. Samuel J. Tilden, the bogus reformer, is catching it on all fides. His political friends are calling upon him to come out and explain the charges .against lom viola lio nnir 4idh-ttr h-uit-e tram ...., ...... . 1 v , .wrna bitiu. blingly on, and sees the vision of the White House fading before his sight. The truth is hard to rub out, and this jV.'r, Tilden knows. lie has tried to explain his connection with Tweed, and his connection with the Democratic Convent ion at Chicago", in 186-4, but the more he explains the worse it is fbr Lira. Rut his income returns for 1862, and his answer to the Circuit Court of New York-, in 1875, have evidently proven too much for him. In 1863 he '; 6wore that his income for 1862 was $7, 118; while iu 1876 he swears that in 1862 he received the fees from one railroad company to the amount of $20, 000. Come, Samuel, rise and exp ain this discrepancy- in your oaths ot 1863 and 1876. If you cheated Uncle Sam in the revenue liue you must lake a back seat in the reform movement. The age demands honest men, not men who have filled their own pockets at the ex pense ,of the Government. HARMONY AND WORK. .- - . The prominent ccntraj fact in the sit uation is, that there are no sore heads nor sore hearts left in- the Republican party. , All bitterness is eliminated ; all difference healed. The Liberal Repub- ; licans and sppporters of Greeley have returned to the" fold", and will work and vote for the election of Hayes and A V heeler. Not one of the prominent candidates whose names were presented at the Cincinnati Convention, ai d who was unsuccessful, lias any feeling hostile to Mr. Hayes, but without exception all haariily wish for his success. Nor wiil they remain passive spectators ami in active factors darinj the campaign, but will earnestly labor for the success of the ticket. The political signs of the limes ara exceedingly favorable, and the nomi nations ar regarded as very fortunate ; tst- wo need, : besides unity and har mony another most important element ot 'success action. Every Republican ahonld be sufficiently interested in the rcr.;Ii to labor for success, and go to the polls snd vote. iv . - It is will. to romembor that' on the Lie day of tLa Congressional session thirty-nine ex-Confederate Brigadiers rfcor-jOa their votes in opposition to the bill t j-iOvLTi for an adequate Wee to osiry on the bi' av war. TI j Htr-t iH"g out is a. "Tilden and IT. V "!-I incil, with one end I.. " : ". V v. S t!-e ch-r "lnr,t." " HOW IT LOOKS. A roan who takes a fake oath is re garded a a perjurer. One who in times of public peril avoids his shaie tt the common burden is - considered a sneak. Samuel J. Tilden concealed his enormous receipts trora Credit Mobil ier and kindred Sources during the7 war. and year after year swore to false iu- come re 1 urns. The? Confederate De mocracy may applaud such acts on gen eral principles, or they may justify the perjury committed on account of the disloyalty displayed, but an honest and loyal people, who honestly and loyally paid the expenses ot the war, are not likely either to applaud or justify, for get or forgive, any "civil service reform" record of this sort. CORRECT VIEW. Said a. Bofl-money Republican to a Democratic critic, who thought to make a convert by pointing out the hard money plank in the Cincinnati p'atform, "Just so; that part ot the platform don't suit me ; but I'd rather trust the Republican party without a platform than the Democratic party with the best that "could be written This is the truth iu a small compass. Brilliant promises cannot alter the character of Democracy any more than Scriptnral quotations can a hardened old sinner. The American people care little for pro fessions. They want to see the practical evidences of good character. These they have had from the Republican party tor the last fifteen years. Hayes was under fire during one campaign of the civil war fbr one hun dred days, and during that time aided in winning several battles-, and was twice wounded, yet he -refused to be re tired to the rear, and never asked for a furlough. This is the man the Ameri can people feel they cau safely trust iu the Presidential chair. lie will have the courage to veto all rebel claim bills, and secure peace to the whole country. It requires great audacity for the Confederate Democracy to say to u : "You did not suppress our rebellion as cheap'y as you ought to have done. Yon did not manage the public debt, taxation and other matters growing out of our treason, as well as you ought to have done ; therefore we propose to take the settlement of the consequences of our crimes aud blunders into our own hands." A Western editor's account of a tranf fusion of blood into a rival: "An enormous jackass was procured frem the couDtry and taken up into the edito rial rooms. The surgeons oened its femoral artery v.ear the iieck, and. care fully inserted an old piece of ga-pipe. This was connected with Mr. Urown's jugular vein, ai.d about fonr buckets of blood was transfused into him." Some Democratic paper has been pointing out the "significance of ini tials" in the names of candidates. Ac cordingly the Montgomery (A'a.) Jour nal tries its hand at the same thing and produces thisr R. R. Hayes Right Before Heaven ; W. A, Wheeler Wise And Watchful. The Journal seems to have the best of the "argu ment." . The Philadelphia Bulletin to the Democratic editors howling about the order as to the protection of .Southern voters : "A negro who wants to vote has as good a right to the protecti n of that law as Democratic editor has to the law which forbids thieves to steal from him." The convention in Ohio that nomi nated General Tom. Ewing for Con gress adopted resolutions indorsing the St. Louis platform "as understood by the Democrats of Ohio, and as inter preted by the candidates for President and Vice President." -Where is Nasby ? When you reflect that at picnics one hundred years ago it was the custom for the girls to stand up in a row and let the men kiss them all good bye, all this enthusiasm about national progress seems to be a grave mistake. It has been nearly three months since Hayes was nominated, and not a single campaign scan lie has been made to stick to him yet. Can the Democrats say as much for their candidate ? .The Des Moines (Towa) Register says . that tire other day a vote was taken iu the Polk county jail. 71 e total num ber of votes east was "eight, and they were unanimous for Tilden. The Lowell (Mass.) Courier thinks th&t it has discovered why Tilden neves married. He was , opposed to setting the day. for fear it would be a hindrance to hi wedding. The funny man of the. New York Jail asks the forgiveness of a sinful world and perpetrates this : "The lien That Don't Lay Golden Eggs Ilen-dncks." MR. MAY SARD'S HIKED HAS. ''Oli, my good gracious! how dare you?" Fanny laid the pink bundle down in a rocking-chair full of pi. lows. The bundle protested with a vigorous movement and in another moment the rocking-chair aud baby came down to gether. "Now, you awful man, thg child is killed V cried Fanny, with a scared face, as she lifted the tiny morsel from the floor ; but the pillows had pro tected it and the startled baby, after one effort at curling her lips, broke into a charming smile. . "No harm done, and I trust I'm for-, given," said Matthew Donn. "No. you are not forgiven. I shall never forgive yon, Mr. Matthew Donn, so please leave baby and me, I have nothing more to say." "Well, I I'm going." "You can go, sir. The young man went softly,' slowly, out, but be looked neither grieved nor angry; on the other side of the door he smiled. The circumstances were these : Fanny had been amusing her sister's child, and the little cherub seemed.never to tire of musical sounds, so Fanny, who had "Mother Goose" by heart, liked nothi.ig better than to sit iu the cosy sitting-room, which was really the nur sery, and sing those old, old melodies. Matthew Donn was the hired man, aud, 011 this partlculiar morning had stolen in quietly behind .Miss Fanny, aud templed ot what? surey not the Evil One liad bent over aud kissed her on the forehead. And this he had dared to do, know ing that Fanny was a city young lady, living in a ta;-hionable quarter and used to the be.-t of society. Fanny's sister had married a rich far mer not quite two years before. , People talked about ti:e I irysons burying them selves alie; but both Olive and Fanny loved the country better than the town. Kvery summer Fanny was glad to leave the "stuffy old house," as she ca led it, and almost by one leap on the express train "find herself in paradise, breathing air redolent of wnite clover and sweet brier. During the winter the sisters eorreKiided regularly, and Ohve had sung the praises of Matthew Donn, their hired man, so often that Fanny found herself thinking of his acquaint ance as one of the pleasant probabilities of her next visit. And the pleasant pen ran on and told about planting and prospective sweet corn and pea blossoms and how the grape-vines wore full of the tiniest bunches and the younn peach trees were going to do splendidly, and Adela had two of the "ciinningest,' mil -white teeth." ami 1 know not how much more loving nonsense. Now Fanny had a rich lover, and like most rich lovers he was n t prepos sessing iu his own persona! appearance. In her own written language t Olive, "he itestered l.er to deaih." To be slire, it was pleasant to see his splendid eqnippage in front of their door, with the two superb grays, tor 011 rare occa sions Fanny yielded to his solicitations to take a ride; anil he always contrived t drive by his cattle of a brown stone front, perhajrs to tempt her, for Fanny was as fond of beau.ifiil things as a iv(k man ought to he, and as we 1 aware of the advantages which money can give. . " Both her father and mother were anxious that she should marry the Hon. Ebe ezer Wolcoti, but Fanny was high spirited, and they seldom advised her. The girl knew that they were living Ite yond their meai s tor her sake,, and this knowledge had been bitterly earned. Mie and Olive had many conferences over it. .( I think if you vere married," said Olive, "papa would come here an I take a small house; then business need not press him iu his old age." Ebenezer had done the proper thing had offered Fanny his heart, his house, his carriage and his horses, and although lie was known for a pugna cious old gentleman, terribly set iu his way, he was honorable, and he loved beautiful Fannv Rryson with all his heart. And Fanny had told him she could not decide that she was going for the summer months to bister Olive's, and at the close of her visit she would give him his answer. "Awl may I eonic out there some times V asked Eben. , Fanny gave a reluctant consent, and wished with all her heart that she had refused him; so with the understanding that he was to call as a friend, the two parted. At the depot Fanny fonnd her sister's carrage til waiting, and was acosted by the handsomest as well as the tallest man she had ver seen. Six feet four and proportionately majestjc, he seemed like Apollo and Hercules hi one. 'Can this be the hired man? ' thought Fanny; ai d then she looked at hi dress. Not a trace of servitude about him; but he treated her with extreme deference, said but little, drove with the precision of a man accustomed to horses,aud drew up before the cottage in grand wtyie. Fanny was in her sister's arms, and after her the baby came in for a fair share of kisses "Will, is that your hired man ?" queried .Fanny, after her comfortable in stalment in one of the luxurious easy-chairs- "Yes, dear; that is Matthew Donn. How do you. like him?" ' "He loon like a gentleman," said Fanny, after a litt'e pMise. "lie is a gentleman, dear, in the best sense of the word; I told you that.'' "And does he speak English well ?" "Why, child, he isn't a foreigner, laughed Olive. "I mean grammatically," said Fanny, "O yes; I presume he has had a good common-school educaii n," replied Ol ive, "and Something better. I know there are ccrtaiu classical Ixviks in his room; whether he ever read 4 them or not 1 can't say." " Whv in the world does he hire out?" cried Fanny, diwrnay in hir voice. " hy shouldn't he ? ' asked Olive, hvighing heartily aiiam. Jle likes the country, is need to horses, and and I suppose he can't get anything better to do." "But a man like hira might be sonie binlyl" ejaculated Fanny with vehe mence. . ' - "My patience! has he no ambition ? I'm afraid I shall despise him." - - "Perhaus. dear, he wouldn't mind if you did," said Olive, hiding her face in the white neck of her baby. "He is so very independent." Purely, why should he care what she thought of him ? solihquized Fanny, her cheeks flushing. The next day she met him at the ta ble. It seemed strange enough to sit down with hired help, but she was forced to eonfess that in nothing did he give the impression of being a menial. "Shall we take hold of that tive-acte lot this morninc ?" he asked, respectt'ul- lay, of Mr. Maynand. Olive's husband , "No; I prefer you should look to tne drainage of that strip east of the hid," was the answer. "There'll, be no rain yet a while, and I want to prepare the land for potatoes. Fanny watched Matthew Donn out on the sly, and Olive caught her at it. ' " t ; wanted' to see what kind of a dress he worked in," said Fanny, with tell-ta'e cheeks. "Don't you think him a little hand somer in his blouse and heavy field boots?" asked Olive. "He certainlyis very handsome," said Fanny, frankly; "but why iu the world however," she added, stopping short j "it's none ot my busines-i ; but such a man as that should surely - work his own laiM.l.'"'- . . "That's true," said Olive, quietly..- Time passed on. Fanny bec-ame ac customed to eat, sit and even talk with the hired man. One day Olive ti -k her up into ihis room. Fanny stottd aghast. It was as exquisite in its way as a lady's bvudoir. "I le furnished it himself," said Olive, in reply to Fanny's look of surprise. "A Wilton carj)et," murmured Fan ny ; "maible-lop set ; t! at Psyche! those flowers ! and what is-this ?" She lift ed a lovely little miniature frm the ta ble, one of thje most beautiful and re fined faces she had ever seen. "Oh, ore .of Ins la1y lnenils 1 sip- pore," said Olive, in her undemon.-ira live way. "xVndseehow perfectly neat evervt.hinr is kept: always in this beautiful order. Do you wonder Harry cal s hun a mm acts? "Indeed I do not," said Fanny slow, ly ; "but he must siend everv cent he earns to furnish himself in this extra ordis.arv manner." "lie has nothing else to do with his money, dear," said Olive; "he don't even buy cigirs. For my part, I think he's perfectly e eganl." Fanny said nothing, but she found herself wishing that she knew who was the original ot that lovely miniature, and trying to reconcile the tests and surroundings ,of the man himself with his servile occupation. Not but thai the work was good enough ai.d honor able for any man ; but why was he not laboring lor himself instead of an. ther? ... For "lays she thought of the minia ture. I Every time she met him, heard him talk or sing he. had a fine - voice, and was not averse to useing it up opped that mysterious free with the Spanish eyes' and clustering curls. Mr. Eben. Wolcott, meantime, I ad taken advantage of h r . reluctant per mission and brought his dashing team to Winnicut. Poor Fanny, at sight of his respectable aldermanic person, his gotd-bowed spectacles, and thick gray whiskers, felt a stranyje sinking at the heart. Why should the six-t.Kter rise up in her imagination and cause by mere force of contrast a repulsion so terrible ? "It's positively wicked fir mo to seem to encourage that man," she said, almost passionately, one morning, the day after the drive. "Which man ?" asked Olive, inno cently, and their eyes met. The red blood flew all over pctor Fanny's face ; she felt hot to the crown of her head and yet why should she? "That's a pretty qnesti n to ask !" she exclaimed, nearly a gry. "Well dear, but how am I to know who 'that man' is?" queried Olive, with a conscious look. " You know it is Mr. Wolcott," said Fanny,' nearly crying. "Well, he is a good man and a rich one," was the a-swer. "I know girls who woiiid jump at the chance, as the saying is. 1 would eitlur marry him or send him off." "Pshaw I" said Fanny, biting her red lips ; mid a few moments after she left the room, conscious of a new, a painful and at the same time strangely delight ful experience. No use to try to con ceal it or cloak it to hrselt not the slightest ; she loved Matthew Donn, her sisterV hired man. v II ow she paced the room half dis tracted, sobbing with tears, forming wild resolves, and then -throwing her self down with a sense of her titter helplessness, I shall not describe. How should she ever meet him again? Could she keep her almost painful se cret, and did Olive guess at it ? What would Olive think what counsel give her it she knew? Only the next time that Mr. Ebon Wolcott came out she qnietly dismissed hira, and then made up her mind that she must go home. If she could only fly to the end of the earth 1 Hut Fanny did not go, tor Olive would not hear of it. A slight cold confined Olive to her room," but one evening she sent Fanny out and bade ' her peremptorily to take her hat and go for a wa k. Then she summoned her husband to give him his orders, but wheu he camo down stairs, Fanny was gone, and Matthew, with a wicked lit tle smile, was taking down his hat. " That's right Don," said Harry, breaking into a laugh ; "she ought to know better than to go off alone. By the way, I happen to know that she has dismissed the old Alderman." Donn smiled again and went out," closing the door behind him. There was a bright moon, displaying flower, leaf and bud. Supposing that Fanny would only make the rounds ot the rjlace. he ran swiftly down to itio hack gate, and met-Iier just as she had reach ed tne great e m that stood guarding the lane. "Yon will allow me to walk with you?" he said. "There is a squad of gypsies in the neighborhood and some one might molest you." Fanny found herself leaning on his arm and listening with rapt attention to the ekiquence or his speech. From that time there was a tacit understand ing between them, and all went smooth iy tiT the morning he kissed her. For that Fanny was angry with herself that she was not angrier with him. All day long she was. full of moods, chang ing from grave to gay, from tits of re flection to the wildest merriment. ""Fanny," said Harry, coming up to his wife's room after tea, "Mr. Donn wishes to speak with you down-stairs," All the lovely color faded out of her face at this announcement .he longed to assert herself; but might they not read the truth iu her eyes it she refused ? blowlv she went down-stairs. Donn was in the par or, walking back and forth. He came to meet tier with outstretched hand. "I want you to forgive my rudness of the morning," he said. "111 my as sumed character 1 had no right to take sueh a liberty, or, indeed, in my own. -v Your assumed character 1" she ex claimed, trembling, as she seated her self. "Yes. My friend Harry met me a vear ago when we were both traveling, 1 was a g od dea run down in health, and the doctors said that were i a ador ing man I luight overcome thv disease that was wasting me. So I contracted with Harry to work fbr him, like any common farmer, and he was l keep my real name aud position a secret. lie saw the change iu Iter beautiful eyes. he addeo', smi ing, '-and there is no need o my working for a living; hut i really think 1 shail go 111 partnership with my friend Harry, and turn farmer.

It was not olit, perhaps, this con tession, but it was very i,aiura. ."And I think 1 can match your Al derman's h..use," he added, taking her li.inds in his, "dear, dear tauny!

The king of the Texas cattle kings is probably captain Kichard King, who has a lanu about 30 nii.es from Corpus Christi, in that state.

Wasn't that judge iu a quandary? Two young men out riding were pass ing a farmhouse where a farmer was trying to harness an obstinate - mule. "Won't he draw?" said one of the men.

Under the Constitution, tms PresMens and head of department are to make nom histtions for office, the Senate I to advise aud eotieuttnappoiiitnients,and the llou5? of Representatives is to accuse and prose eitte fiithle offieer.
