VOl.l t K a i Tlie poli'ieal pot is boi'ing here, furi ously that is, the Republican jiot. Monster meetings are being held every where in tbis pity and Brooklyn, anil there iievcr was s intense a feeling among the Republicans in New York as now. It u perfectly wild Delight fully so. The meeting at Cooper Isli tute and at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn, were immense, and were as enthusiastic as they were large. Ti e meetings in the wards are wonderfully large and enthusiastic, and what is bet ter, tho best men are taking hold and running them. The character ot the llepublican candidates is Mich as to bring out the efforts of the best citizens, who see in the nominations of the party, the best evidences that its pledge of good Government will be cairied out. The Democracy cannot get tin en thusiasm. There is no disguising the fact, Tilden is unpopular among them. Tlie thieves don't like him because he has been so se'fish as to desert them when danger came, after affiliating with them in their days of prosperity, and honest Democrats distrust him, because they k-ow who Lis associates were in the days of the ring, and the influences that wo'iM control him were heelected.' Tn Albany he is the most unpopular mau who ever occupied the Guberna torial Chair. His dodging his income tax, his unquestionable connection with the Tweed Rii'g, and his inordinate, unscrupulous selfishness, make him as unpromising a candidate as could have been pift np, for popular suffrage. As a manager in the interests of other men, he is unequalled, but honest men with whom he has had dealings dread to sec him at the head of attains, lie has at tempted an explanation of his dogding his income tax, but it is a lame affair. The fact is palei.t, that he is worth millions, all of which was made during the years this tar was- levied, and he never returned as much as would have been- the income of a moderately small lawyer, lie pctifogs it, as lie docs everything. lit tINlS is blooming and everybody feels good. The merchants are overrun with trade, and the complaint now is, that custom ers cannot be attended to. Thrones of Southern and Western people are here, many of them sight-seeing, but more making glad the hearts of the merchant by purchasing. The streets are crowd ed with trucks, as in the good old days, and the piles of boxes on the hide-walk are appalling, to all but those who are rolling them. The hotels, for the first lime in three years are crowded, the daily arrivals occupying five and ; six columns in the papers, run in solid iu very t-mall tj'pc, and this only the lead ing houses. New York begins to look like tho old city again. All this indi cates the revival of confidence that we have all been hoping for. Now let the growling stop in the country let us all put our shoulders to the wheel, and go to work to do something. The hard times aro over just as soon as people isay so, and act as though they believe it. If you have a house to build' and can afford it, go on and build it. The eun is going to rise just as many times this year as ever, and everything is go ring to go on as usual. The crops are averaging well, there is money enough and to spare, and all that ;s needed, is to get rid of the senseless scare, and with confidence go on. This is all that is necessary to make good times. There are reasons why we should not let bus iness go by the board, if it can be ( avoided. We have streets ' to fill, farms to settle, and population to at tract. There was a steady stream of emigration flowing into tho country, the most with money, and all with la bor, all of which : ceased the moment the cry of "bard times" was raised.- This Etrcam we ought to get flowing again as soon as possible. The shortest way to do it, is to get to doing some thing. There are millions of Germans, French, English and Irish who want to come, and they will come the moment we can say "good times" to them. We can have good times always if we will. I M'ant to see the ships coming in again, and unloading their cargoes ot human freight, to go west and fill np the prairies of that blessed country. Stop croaking, and inaugnrate a new Era, and don't waste any time about it. OX THE WAY TO TIIK CBXTKXXIAI.. I have received many letters from your readers," inquiring sjiecifically as to what board can be had for in New York, and wheie. In answer let ine say that board, in respectable houses can be had for from $8 to $10 a week, and if you want better rooms, say from 10 to 14. To get these rates go into any house that has a card up,anywhere on Lafayette place, 10th, 11th, 12th or 13lh streets, Clinton place, Waverly place, or any street in that locality. Mate that you want rooms for a week, and possibly for less time, and make your contract for t uch time as you Btay, at so much a day, then you can stay as long as you choose aud only be compell ed to pay for what you have. Be care ful to make j-our stipulations. Go on any ot these streets, not farther east than 2d avenue, nor west than 6th avenue. All these rnn east and west. Arrange so as to get into New York or Philadelphia- in the morning. This will give you a chance to get settled j without submitting to a swindle for one j night. Take train that will bring you in, in the mornin.'. All I have said i about New York will apply equally to j Philadelphia. Rooms withont board, in either city can bo had for from 2 to j 4 per week, which allows you to get j your eating where you choose, and at such prices as may seem good to yon. J By care, aud taking time you may live ; as cheaply as you please, and have your stay extended. You can by care make a hundred dollars keep you twice the tiaio that it will by carelessness. And bear this in mind, you want to stay. as long as you can. There is enough there to keep you profitably a month if you can afford it. By all means come. '1 his Exposition, properly observed, is a liberal education. THE MAHKSMEX. Once more the Americans have beaten the Irish, and the Yankee Team may safe'y claim to be the best in the world. They have met Teams from almost every country that pays any attention to Kiile Shooting, aud have never yet leen beaten. The Irish have crowded thera the closest, but they have manag ed to got away with them, every lime, and probab'y always will. The enect of these matches is being felt all over tlie country. Rifle clnba are being organized everywhere, and probably this sport will have as extensive a run as Base-ball. One point in the game is tlie superiority of American arms. Our Rides aro better adapted to long range shooting than any made abroad. This tie Irish' acknowledge, although their cack-shot, Rigby, is a manufac turer himself. Think ot hitting the bull's-eye fourteen times in succession at 1,0 j0 yards ! This is what the men arc doing. A SLICI1E. A most pitiful case of self-destruction came to light yesterday. A widow lady had $100,000 in stocks in the coal roads ot Pennsylvania, which have been considered the safest in the world. She purchased a lot of real estate in the city, expecting that her dividends would pay interest on .the indebtedness she assum ed, and expecting to sell stocks, as the payment became due to meet them. The real estate depreciated in value two years ago, so that it would not sell for more than half the mortgage, her stocks shrunk almost a half aud her dividends shrank to nothing. When her notes came due, the holder pushed her, and in short, in consequence ot the unfortunate pnrchase, she found that she would be left absolutely penniless. Everything that she had in the world would be taken from her, and she, at the age of sixty, accustomed to an easy, pleasant life, with nothing to depend upon, would be thrown out upon the world helpless. She had no friends to depend upon aud nothing but the alms house was before her. She went to her room, put npoii her table the deeds which had ruined her, her certificates of stock, on which no dividends had been paid, and all her other worthless securi ties, and fastening a cctd to a hook in the wall, bung lierself. She was found dead tlie next day. She left no letter the only explanation was the pile of worthless securities, but they told the story well enough. And now comes the curious part of it. The day her body was discovered, there came to her address a notification that an estate iu Scott land, which had been in litigation for years, aud of which she had given up hopes years ago, had been settled, and that she was entitled to 90,000 which she could have upon receipt of a power of attorney, to draw it ! Had she only waited two days! When I make up my mind to commit suicide I shall always wait two days. - PlETKO. The loyal sentiment ot the nation is thoroughly aroused, and this means a sweeping Republican victory. Intelli gent men, who love tho Urnon, recog nized the fact that Democracy in power is simply the restoration of those evils which threatened our Government dur. ing tlie rebclion. They feel that a vote for the Democratic party would be a vote against the Union and its brave defenders. Wheat sells at Waitsburg at 27 i cents a bushel. NO VIRTUE IN DEMOCRACY. If there was any virtue in Democracy it has a grand field to display it in the C '.y of New York. It has held undispu ted sway over that metropolis. What has been the result? The Jebt of the city has increased from $00,000,000 to $140,000,000 iu less than ten years; taxation has become almost as severe as confiscation; and uules the people de liver themselves from the political thieves who are robbing them yearly bankruptcy will certainly overtake them. Yet Democracy, iu the face of its misrule in the city and State ot New York, and other cities and States where it holds sway, aspires to govern the nation. To permit its ascendancy would lie to invite general ruin, and involve the country in troubles greater than any yet endured. THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. The man who can visit the Cente'n uial Exhibition and go home a Demo crat must have very little of gratitude iu his nature. The priceless result of Republican wisdom and Royalty are gathered together in Philadelphia. If the Democratic policy had prevailed we rhould have had no nation to glory over, no Centennial to celebrate, no welcome to extend to the world. Strangers instead of rejoicing over our glory would have come to weep over our shame. No true American can gaze upon the wonders of the Internationa Exposition without feeling increased admiration for the Republican party whose courage saved "the country aud made' possible this Centennial Exhibi tion. THE CHANGE WROUGHT. When the Republican party came into power the auctiou block and the slave pen were within the shadow of the nation's Capitol. What a change has God wrought tinder the sway of the Republican party ? To-day the flag floats over freemen everywhere. Sla very has died before the breath of free dom, and another decade of Republican rule will wipe out forever the spirit of oppression which still lingers around the recent fields of bondage. The pray?r of freemen throughout the world is, that the party that has done so much ; for American liberty and . human pro- J giess will continue to govern the conn- j try until every vestige of evil growing j out of the institution of slavery is re moved. I RUING OUT EVERT VOTE Every Republican vole 'must be got out this fall. No business transaction, no public or private engagement mnst be allowed to interfere with voting. This must be considered a sacred obli gation to lie kept at all hazards flnc under all circumstances. The loss ot a single vote may give a State to Democ racy. The loss of a State may lead to the surrender of the Government to those who have plotted its overthrow. Republicans must work as ifon one vote depended the salvation of the Republic. The lukewarm must be aroused to ac tivity, the doubters must be convinced by the presentation of facts, every friend ot the country must be enlisted in the great work of defense. Tho signs indi cate a 'Republican victqry, but our friends must remember that the result depends upon the work accomplished. If the work is thorough the triumph will be complete. We judge a man by his past record ; if -it is good, we trust him, for what he has been through a scries ot years he is likely to be through years to come. If his record is bad we shun him. We have no faith in him, and pay no respect to his golden promises. So with parties. We judge them by their past record. It that is good we suport them ; it it is bad we want nothing to do with them. Wc have confidence in the Republican party because of its excellent record ; we have none iu Democracy because of its bad one. A ' Tkuthfli. PicTL'iiE. General Sherman in his "Memoirs," dropped some observations which are quite ier tineut to present developments. They areas follows: "The young men of tho South, sons of planters, lawyers about town, good billiard players and sportsmen, men who never did work and never will, war suits them, and tho rascals are brave, fine riders, bold to rashness, and dangerous subjects iu every sense. They care not a sou for niggers, land, or any, thing. They hate Yankees perse and don't bother their brains about the past, present, or future. This is a larger class than most men suppose, and they are the most dangerous set ot men that this war has turned loose upon the world. i These men must all be killed or employed by as before we can- have peace.";. The Democratic treasurer of Van Wort, Ohio, has hidden away $13,00Q so well that be cau't tell where be put it. 'The Kentucky picket- line ! establish ed by Watterson was withdrawn dar ing tho holding of the Soldieu's Con vention at Indianapolis. STAND BY SHIP. TILE OLD The Republican party is like a staunch ship' that has been tested - by wind and -wave and proven seaworthy in every respect. She has met the fiercest tempests and brought her pas sengers and freight through safety. The question now before tlie people is, Shall this noble vessel be laid aside for the old worm-eaten hulk Democracy, that was condemned years ago as un worthy of confidence or patronage? The peoplo who intrust their lives and property to a craft require something more than paint and putty to satisfy them that the vessel is sound. Tilden may paint and putty Democracy trom stem to stern, and hold out the induce ment ot cheap fare tor the Presidential trip, but intelligent people will give the old hnlk a wide berth. She has been tried and found wanting, and no assu rance ot reform in her management can save her from public comdim nation. . ...... ' JUST LIKE 13(50 Vermont and Maine have given rous ing Republican majorities, backed by an enthusiasm and earnestness character istic of the early days of the Republi can party, whi!e Arkansas, Alabama, aud Kentucky roll up their ante war majorities for the Democrats. The contest between the sections tor suprem acy in the Government has taken form on new issues, but is as clearly defined as ever, and has become a struggle be tween loyalty and disloyalty, with all that is imp'ied in the spirit that aclu a'es the two parties. Men ot the North choose ye whom ye will serve. Professor Rudolph, in a lei.gthy let ter on the sun says: A mollon or white hot mass, 850,000 miles in diameter, equaling in bulk 1.200,000 worlds like our own, having a surrounding ocean of gas on fire, 50,000 miles deep, tongues ot flame, darting upward more than 50,000 miles, volcanic forces that hurl into the solar atmosphere lumin ous matter to tho height of 160,000 miles; drawing to itself all the worlds belonging to our family of planet?, and holding them aU in their proper places; attracting with such superior force the millions of solid and stray masses that are wandering in the fathomless abyss that they rush helplessly toward him, a,l fan i lto his fiery embrace. And thus he continues his sublime and rest- less march through J'is mighty orbit, having a period of more than 18,000, 000 of years. A currency of uniform value in every State of the Union ; public credit un equaled in our history ; personal free dom vouchsafed to the humblest indi vidual ; a wise homestead system, giv ing tree farms to all who live upon them ; aud peace at home and abroad are among a few ot the items for which the nation is indebted to the Republi can party. Thf l'oetr j- ol' the Throttle Vnlve. Not long ago an engineer brought in bis train to a stand at a little Massa chusetts village where the passengers have five minutes for hi uch. A lady came along the platform and said: The conductor tells me the- train at the junction hi P. leaves fifteen minutes be fore our arrival. It is Saturday night that is the last train. I have a very sick child in the car and no money for a hotel, and nono for a private convey ance a long, long way into the country. What shall I do? Well, said the engineer, I wish I could tell you. Would it be possible for you to hurry a little? said the anxious, fearful mother, - No, madam, I have the time table, and the rules say I must run by it. She turned sorrowfully away, leav ing the bronzed face ot the engineer wet with tears. Presently she returned and said, are you a Christian? I trust I am, was the. roply. Will you pray with me that the Lord may in some way delay (he train at the jancticn? Why, yes, I will pray with yon, but I have not much faith. J ust then tho conductor cried, AH aboard. The poor Woman hurried back to the deformed and sick child, and away went the train climbing the huge grade. Somehow, said the engineer, every thing worked like a charm. As I prayed, Icouldeu't help letting ray en gine out jnst a littlo. We hardly stopped at the first station, people got on and off with wonderful alacrity, the conductors lantern was in the air in a half minute, and then away again. Once over the summit ft was dreadful easy to give her a little more, and then a little more, as I prayed, till she seemed to shoot through tlie air like an arrow. Somehow .1 conlden't hold her, know ing I had the road, and so we dashed up to the ju notion six minutes ahead ot time. There stood the other train, and the conductor with his lantern on his arm. Well, said he, will you tell me what I am waiting here for. Somehow I felt I must await your coming to-night, but I don't know why. I guess said the brother conductor, it Ls fot this, poor woman with her sick and deformed child, dreadful ajixious to get home this Saturday nighty But tlie man on the engine and the grateful mother think they can tell why tlie train waited.

There is more virtue in a single year of Republican rule than in all the sermons on reform preached by Democ racy. It was Ben Hill who said daring the darkest days cf tho war: "Every cinizen with his gun, and eery negro with his spade, can do the work of a soldier. Yon can destroy the enemy by retarding his march. Do it." This man is one of our law makers. In ppeaking ot the rebel war claims General Hemis said, at the mass meet ing in Steuben count v, Ohio: "They want ns to pay for the nse of tlie batt'e fields on which we licked them, and their impudence goes so tar as to de mand rent for the ground on which they licked us."
