We clip the following very interest ing letter from the columns of the Gib son City Eeterprize of Gibson City, Ford county, Illinois, which was writ ten by a former republican resident lawyer of that town, who at the time of writing the same was temporarily located in Girard, Kansas. The occa sion of the letter was a request from the democratic friends of the author's to preach a funeral sermon over the republican party, and he writes it up with a caustic pen: Members of the Democratic Commit tee of Invitation and Democratic friends of Gibson: I received your pressing invitation by telegraph to .reach for you a funeral sermon over the republi can party, and being as ever anxious nd willing- to accommodate you, I comply with your request, but as you were evidently too poor to pay the charges on your message, I take it for .granted that it vould be impossible for you to provide for my expenses to Gibson, and such other necessary ex penses as your knowledge of courtesy would suggest to you. I therefore accommodate myself to your impecu- neous circumstances, and we will hold short service through the columns of the home paper. We will open our exercises by sing ing that old and familiar hymn, "Re turn ye ransomed sinners home." Brother Hughes -will please lead the singing, rand let all the singers siug. We will next give attention to the fol lowing lesson: Yerily I say unto you, the kingdom of this land is like unto a husbandman who had two sons, .and the elder f the two rose up and :saith unto his father: If I cannot rule the inheritance as I wish, and compel hee and my brother to serve me in iniquity, then old man comes down your shanty; and his brethren hearkened not unto his demands nor sanctioned Ids iniquity, which so incensed this elder brother Chat he straightway stole lall the silver and gold from the coffers of his father's ihouse and threw down the walls thereof and carried away all he treasures of the house and sought to steal one-half of the inheritance and set up for himself another kingdom wherein the iniquities and wickedness of his ways might find no hindrance. Then rose up the man of the house and taketh .that son by the collar and lead eth him away .to the woodshed and laboreth him for a season of four years, until he repented .himself in sackcloth and ashes. And verily I say unto you that son was again forth with returned to his former rights in the inheritance like unto his brother who tended the vineyard, and in four :and twenty years by false promises .and deceitfulness was admitted to the full management of the inheritance. There is a fountain filled with coin, Drawn from the mines of earth; A treasury with vaults so full We all may share its wealth. The rebel thieves rejoiced to see That fountain in their day; An d thereanay .we though vile as they, Wash all their debts away. I will now call attention to the fol lowing passage as my text: "He is not dead but sleepeth." The subject of these remarks was born in the year 1856. Its father was freedom and its mother was Justice. The offspring became the inseperable union of the two, and was called the Republican Party. When only four years of age the affairs of the .Nation were given into its hands, and no sovereign on .the face of earth ever assumed the reigns , of a government in a worse condition of demoralizat'on financial, moral and political than ours when entrusted to its hand. No sovereign in the annals of, time ever accomplish -ed more or brought about greater national improvement and prosperity than has resulted to this Repub lican party: aud no sovereign ever retired from -tlie throne of any kingdom in the civilired world, leaving to his suc cessor a nation of a people in a more perfect enjoyment of peace, prosperity and happiness than this Nation to day. Such a record of the grandest nation al career of twenty-four years which this or any other nation ever saw or ever will see, and with the honors of such a record upon it, the Republican party retires from the reins of govern ment not dead but sleeping for a time, to be called again to power. not alone of its own volition, but called as it was at its birth to respond to the cry of forty milliors of loyal freemen. Called whenever treason shall again be seen stalking forth unmasked in the land. And may God in His mercy defer that day to the uttermost limit of His all wise providence. You, my Democratic friends deceive yourselves by thinking that day will never come. But let me tell you, the seasons will not have made a circuit of the year before you will behold it, if your eyes be not blinded by passion and preju dice. Writing as I do from this lo cality, which wiis in times of war the border-line, I may say to you that already before your victory was assured I beheld it. At' two cities in this county has the rebel flag been flying to the breeze in jollification over your victory, and not only flying to the breeze but maintained and defended there at the muzzle of the gun, and this, not in the atmosphere of demo cratic shotgun supremacy but in a county as strongly republican as your own. Xou say such men as that have no sense, and this is the only difference between them and you, for so long as you cling so close to them with their lack of sense to hide their principles, you must in your hearts hold common principles with them, and when your rebel friends who, lacking for want of sense and education that wisdom which republican institutions have given to you shall show forth to the world your common principles, then will the loyal people again demand the restoration of the republican party to power. Look you at the banner State Missouri. When these principals were cropping out the present campaign you present ed a rebel General for Governor who boldly declared from the stump in my own hearing, "They say I was a rebel. I say I was a rebel, and I am proud of it. The confederacy is in the saddle to-day, and will regain in this cam paign what they lost in the war." The loyal men of Missouri saw it, and the democratic majrity of 55,000 only two years ago for Governor stands cut down to hardly 5,000. But the hour has arrived for closing these ex ercises, and in conclusion by way of explanation let me say if I speak too plain or my manner sounds harsh, I want you to take as I mean and not as I say, for I mean it far stronger than I say it, and if my discourse is not altogether satisfactory io you, then well perhaps you tickled the wrong mule. GENERAL 'GRANT (OH THE RETIRED LIST. It was but a fitting act of the retir ing administration, and a fitting close for a long, patriotic and successful re publican rule, was the passage and signing of the bill to retire General Grant, .and placing the infirm old soldier in his proper place on the list of army heroes, and the confirmation of the appointment by the unanimous voice of the Senate. The cheers that greeted the successful issue of this measure are a sufficient test of the patriotic feeling that throbs in the hearts of a loyal people when called upon to remember with honor and gratitude the man who had led the armies of the nation to victory over an arrogant, internecine foe. All honor to the retiring republican president and the republican senatt, and honor, too, to the democratic members of the house of representatives, who, on the morn of the inauguration of a president of their wn political faith, felt that they could afford to be just to a man who, in car rying the standard of the republic to victory, saved it from disruption and made it possible for democrats to be honored with place and power. "Voiced by the press all over the land. One of our Southern Oregon demo cratic exchanges says: "We are sorry at the course pursued by the Standard. Indeed if such a course were general by the democratic journals, there would be some truth in the strictures of the Oregonian as to the Southern Con federacy having captured the govern ment. The paper that cannot speak with decency, we do not even say re spect, of Gen. Grant must injure any cause it seeks to uphold. The Stand ard put the head "Dying of jim-jams" over its account of the pitiful condi tion of Gen. Grant, who is slowly but surely being consumed by Cancer of the mouth. We can think of no fate more terrible than the death by Can cer. We know that the great heart of the American people goes out in sym pathy to the great captain, so vic torioui, that at last but waits his con quering by the king of terrors." The Chronicle's Washington special of the 10th inst., says: "Settlement of the New Hampshire case in the sen ate will be a precedent for the Oregon case, which will arise if the governor of Oregon appoints a senator, the legis lature having gailed to elect. It seems to be settled that the senate will admit Blair, and if it does it will admit any senator who nviy be appointed from Oregon." A Happy Thought. It was a happy thought that led to the production of a con centrated fruit syrup, so harmless in its nature that it may be given either to the mother or her babe, relished alike bv both. and of such wonderful efficacy that all who take it feel brighter and nippier. Allen & Woodward will furnish anyone wishing Syrup ot rigs a trial bottle tree ot charge, sell fifty cent and one dollar bottles. Examine the date appearing after yonr name on the Gazette.
