Tribune. .There is no business that pays better in these time than beinj the friend of somo official party in Wash ingtou. The position of the eminent family of Cattel, in the administra tion of ail'airs of Government has never been clearly detin but u lut long been known to be an important one ; so much so that a member the IIouso Naval Committee remark ed tho other day, "Every thing we touch seems to turn up a Cat tell." Ami now it appears that Air. & u, Cattell has received from a contract or who supplies tho Navy with cloth ing the handsome sum ot &1UU,UUU, or four per cent., on the contracts, for nothing at all exut-iii .Ur. tn tell's influence with Secretary lloln son. Mr. Cattell is i slmwn t have rendered any service for this commission ; it is net easy to see how (ie could honestly render any under tho regulations of tho navy and the laws of the United States : but he is a mend of the Secretary ot the wavy, and a Secretary who keeps a friend is an expensive person to deal with. Secretaty Belknap's friends were cheaper, but they were many. One of them, to bo sure, charged a thou sand dollars for a simple introduc tion, and the post-trader who paid for tho introduction had to pay also for the appointment which followed it but this seems to have been an ex ceptional case, and at least General Belknap s mends can plead that he did something for the money, albeit twas little. General Kioe was usu ally reasonable in his prices and prompt in his service. Ho got ap pointments for several post-traders, receiving $2,000 from one, $5,000 from another, half the net profits from a third, and a third of the net profits from a fourth. Was he con nected with the War Department? Oh no, he was only a townsman and friend ot Belknap's, and he was allowed the privilege of making a good thing out ot his friendship for the sake of old associations. General Rice says he never gave the Secreta ry anything except a little wine and a few cigars, and he docs not seem to understand that there was any thing in his transactions to which a reasonable Committee could take ex ception, bo too the cadetship bro ker who charged $d,U0U tor intro ducing young Ueardslee to Congress man Hays, Unnks it was meiely legitimate business ; and when it ap pears that he has been in the habit of dealing in appointments to West Point, he insists that it was all legiti mate business. He had a wide circle of friends in Congress, and he made all he could by the connection. ihe case ot mti Urvu Grant falls in the same category. Orvil lacks the capacity and activity of a great rascal and many practical persons will say that he has neglected his op portunities; but in a shambling, shiftless way, he seems to haye turn ed his connection with the the White House to profitable account. We hear of him every now and then siGuCinqr along tho lrontier, with a pocket full of traaiiiH .licenses which he peddles among the settlci at ridiculously low prices. At one post he allows himself to be put off with a few hundred dollars , at another he accepts an unsubstantial partnership. But as the Government supplies him with transportation, he can travel far at small cost to himself, and striking every trader on tho route be can pick up a pretty comfortable living, it would be interesting to know how many partnerships he now holds in firms to which ho has contributed neither capital or labor, and what i the definition he would give for the word "black-mailing" if he had to pass an examination in the diction ary. But the public functionaries who supply these thrifty friends and rela tives with facilities of Courge are not bribed. They would be shocked at any imputation upon their char acters. If none of the money expended for the purpose of privil eges finds its way to their pockets, they Matter themselves they are hon orable men, who have done their whole duty by the public. They have not trafficked in offices them selves; they have only suffered other people to do it under their prott-c tion. Appointments in their gilt are bought and sold, and when they are blamed lor it they profess a lottv indignation at partisan committees and venal and unscrupulous newspa pert. Public officers nave something to do besides keeping their hands from picking and stealing, and it seems to ns that it would be a good idea for most of the members of the Administration to begin a reform by revising their visiting lists. The farmers on French Praine era just retuug tbeir wheat towed, bat tuil they ex pert to riw good Crops, and probably will, as this is Oregon. I How Henry Clar Lost the Nomlna Moil In 1840. From the TltusviUe, Pa,, Herald. Early in 1840, Henry Clay, as can didate.for the Presidency, stood head and shoulders abovo any othor. The delegation of the state ol JNew York to the Whig convention were unani mous in his favor. In June General Scott ' went to Saratoga, and was there made to behove that his . popu larity might secure him the nomina tion and the election. Like Greeley. he was vain and over estimated his strengi i. He immediately went to Albany aud counseled with Governor Seward, who told the General that he would require twenty-four hours to cousider Scott', proposition, which was, that the Governor should, in the case ot Scott's election, te bis right-hand man. ' At the expiration ot the twenty-four hours, Scott called upon the Governor, in the old Yates mansion, when the Governor told him that, on mature deliberation, he concluded that the General was or might be the most available candi date. He h id fo'ight the country's battles at Chippewa and Luudy s Lane, and his soars would plead most eloquently for the suffrages of the people, but he, the Governor, did not regard the General as a politician, and politics was the Governor's pro fession. "Now," ho says, "if you place yourself in my hands and prom ise not to answer any letiors or write a line without my appoval, I will un dertake to secure you the nomina tion, lo this the General replied that it was tving him up rather close and he should require a dav or two to deliberate. At the expiration of the day he returned and assented to the Governor's terms. At once etters wero forwarded to tho dele gates. The Albany Evening Journal oxer- cised its influence and power, and presto, the delegates all went tor Scott instead ot Clay, which resulted in a compromise in lavor ot (icncral Harrison. His death left John Tyler in tho White House, "fflne illoe lachrvmoi" Had Clay been nomina ted he would have been elected, and the Rebellion would not have been. "ITI EN BEFORE PLATFORMS.' Such is the heading of an article in an evening paper, with no particular- y denned political views. JNo coun try can ever bo redeemed from politi cal weakness and wickedness by such demagogical, namby-pamby, stuff as this. Principles, and not men, or, men and not principles, are xpressions that originate with peo- plo afflicted with congenital or incip ient softening of the brain. Men without principles are scoundrels, and principles are intangiblo abstrao tions that, inutile, float about the dreamy regions of tho upper air. The salvation of this couutrv de mand principles and men. We re quire platforms embodying tho quintessence ot statesmanship; and we must have men to stand upon them of sense sufficient to know what they mean, and integrity to carry out faithfully the doctrine which they set forth. Well may that party whose platforms caused war and a temporary dissolution of the Union, which has so ruined the cur rency that we scarcely know what tho word "money" moaus, brought poverty to the masses, M plethoric wealth" to the few, surrouudeu y difficulties insurmountable, and cor ruption unfathomable, cry out in the agonies of desperation, "Give ns men who can redeem tho country;" or, after the formulary ot tho evening paper just quoted, "Men before plat foniiB." Aside from motive,a in a practical, absolute political sense, no good man ever could stand and no good man ever can stand on me piauorm oi me Itadical party. It he bo true to the platform, In will ruin the country by bad legislation, and it false to it he is an inherent scoundrel, who will sell the functions of office and the liberties ot the State for money. "Men before platforms 1" People who talk such nonsense need fish and phosphorus. The country re quires ot a party first of all a bulletin of principles sustained by the experi ence ot the world. Emblazoned upoo this bulletin must likewise ap pear the names of men known to be patriotic and wise. A party may well be proud to unfurl to the bret-ie such an ecce lignum as this, for its victory is the fiat of fate, aud the glory of the Confederation. S. F. Juammer.

Examiner, Governor Seymour Interviewed. A correspondent of the New York Tribune has interviewed Governor Seymour, aud has ascertained that thero is no positive declaration on Governor Seymour's part that he would under no circumstances accept the nomination for , tho Presidency. He has also discovered that the Sago of Deerfield makes no positive expression oi preierence ior uover norTildun. llio views already ad vanced by the Express are, identical with those of Governor Seymour. Said ho : I hopo both parties will send their boxt men to their National conventions, and that when they meet that they will act upon fair and full consultation, and that they will put their most patriotic and able men upon their tickets. Tho condi tion of tho country is too gravo to admit of contests which only relate to partisan interests." . In respect to Governor iildcn and an unpledged delegation, Mr. Sey inour remarked : "1 should bo glad to see Governor Tildcn nominated, if it is done with tho good will and cordial assent of all sections of our country. I do not think ho wishes to be put at tho . head of tho ticket by machine power, or at tho expense ot the harmony of the party to which ho belongs, nor do I believe he will make a struggle tor the noun nation, although ho naturally desires a friendly delegation from his own State. Then, too, ho has too much sagacity to be willing to be urged upon the convention as a .New York candidate, or wish a nomina tion unless it is called for by the Democraito party ouuido of the State. Mere local candidates will at this time be looked upon with distrust. No wise man will take a nomination made by local pressure or particular interests. The delegation from New York should be made up of its best representative men, whose character will give assurance that tbey have at lieart the welfare ot the whole coun try and the interests ot their politi cal organization in every section of the Union." The ITIeaue.t Man In the senate. From the Cincinnati Enquirer, To-day as I was-coming out of the Senate wing pf tho Capitol, I saw drawling along in front of me a fig ure which might have once been that of a man, but which now lacked only tho projection of the vertebra) be yond the coccyx boue to form the Darwinian liuk ot connection be tween man and the tuana. The shoulders bent not only forward but inward, as if tho bosom had under gone a collapse consequent upon tho removal of the soul liom its seal. The head was caulud forward from the spinal column, as if tho beiug no longer duied look man in the face, but perpetually surveyed the ground to find some hole to drop into. The thin legs wobbled about like the hind legs ot a sick cow, and tho toes were turnod outward nearly at a right an gle with the line ot march, as if the instincts of the man's feet, better and noblei than thosa of his head, were trying lo lead him off into new a id inoie honorable paths than those to which he clings. He was clad in a nasty old swallow-tail coat and pants that bad be come glazed aud greasy. His stove pipo hat was old aud dusty. His lace was the color ot a badly tanned pitC9 of sole leather, aud as bo walk ed his fingers kept up a nervous twitching as though, no was trying to grab something. In his mouth he held the slump ot a Lonucctiout seed leaf cigar (price five cents). It is seldom that one sees such a picture as this. It was Hannibal Hamlin the meanest man in tho Senate, which is saying a great deal in a few words, aud one of ' the meanest men iu Maine, which exhausting the vocabu lary at once and forever. it. motto. B. F. ExamiMr. The Democratic party of the Uni ted States enters the present contest, bearing on its banners the inscrip tion, '"Peace Economy II nesty Democracy." It it does not achieve a victory under such a standard, the American people will show them selves unworthy of their lineage and traditions. Peace and good-will be tween all States and sections, and justice and fair-dealing towards all ; economy in the management of pub lic affairs, and the people's money ; honesty in the administration of offi cial trusts ; and the conservation of the liberties and immunities of states and people nnder the Constitution. This is the essence of the Democratic platform ot principles. - A nobler one has never been presented to the peo ple. The night the South Corolina Leg islature adjourned, nearly every property-holder in Columbia sat up till dsvbrtak in com cany with a dark i lantern and ft shotgun. ' A Rontaueel of the Revolution. At tho outbreak of the war, Capt. Charlos Ross, whose regiment 'Was then stationed in a provincial town of England, was secretly engaged to a young lady of the place., But, her family had other plans for the prom ising girl, and, having bestowed upon her remarkable education, they strenuously opposed the young officer's desires. His regiment was soon ordered to America, and ho was forced to leave without communica ting with his ' betrothed. Long, silent weeks of anxiety followed, till tho gill suddenly fled from her home, and escaped to America, disguised in malo attire. Here she learned that heP lover's regiment was far inland. actively engaged in war.- She imme diately set forth on a loot journey of hundreds ot miles through a country tilled with rapine ,' and slaughter. Atlcr ft longtime she began to get definite information she learned the very station . tho troops occupied With lighter heart, .without one doubt of her lover's constancy, she sped on, cheered by the hope of happy ending. As she drew near tho statioi she heard' the crack of rifles in the woods and the loarful yells of the savages, i Ero she reach ed tho spot all was still ; , the battle was done. Jiut, still pressing on, . she camo suddenly upon the scene, and her eyes tell at once npon the body of an oihocr stretched across the root of a tree. She' weut up to him with a trembling lieart ; she turned the face upward; it was ber lover I A poisoned arrow was in his i i n i a !. . l ' ..! oouy, oiiu urew u out, aim puiting her lips to the wound, sucked the poison and tho blood. This she con tinued till ber knowledge of surgery, which she had studied in England, assured her that the poison was wholly extracted. Then she nursed him with skill and tenderness. , Tho officer had no suspicion ot his faithful attendant. Mie had previously dyed her skin with lime and bark, and her disguise was inpenotrable. The sta tion had been destroyed there was no means of conveyance, and the offi cer was too weak to walk. For six weeks this brave woman nursed the invalid, attending to his every want, supplying his food from the catch of hor own bands, with tho only shelter of boughs which her frail hands oould erect I They were weary weeka to him, but to her story, and finally told his attendant the wholo story of his unhappy love. He charged hit nurse to seek out the lady, should he return to England, and toll her of her lover's constancy to the last. Should death follow the wound, the nurse was begged not to leave bis body till ho delivered it to the loved one. What excess of joy filled the girl's bosom as she listened daily to suoh words as these I And God at last blessed her devotion and " her lovo. As tho captain regained strength, they set out slowly for somo settle ment. After a few weeks . they reached s Philadelphia. ,.:Ttien :ltbe nurso revealed herself, to her lover, and an immediate marriage crowned a constancy and devotion unsurpass ed in the history of love ' Just So. . , The Louisvillo Courier-Journal well desoribes the delight of ' the Radicals at the discovery of ft Demo cratic poocadillo, as also their facility in the act of exaggeration of Demo cralio delinquencies, when it says: , When the bootblaok ot the seoond assistant door-keeper'! brother-in-law is detected In embezzling t nickel, Radical louraaliBtn, with one ftoourd, exclaims : Vlf such trigaiiui irauua occur under the present limited Dor&- ocratio rule iu Ihe House, what are we to expect when the Democratic party obtains entire control of the Government. . .'-'. The figures showing the compara tive cost ot running the Treasury De partments ot the United States and the British Empire should starllo every man in the country. The cost of our Treasury management is stated at $3,2G3,U13, and how much more nobody knows, while England s ex penses in conducting ber finances are only $761,190.
