How Good a Thing It Is to Know
, ; a Cabinet Officer,
From the N. Y. 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.
One's risibles are with difficulty
controlled when be observes the
Iladical party press cttlug aud boast
ing aa an evidence ui men Fav r
ity, that it has two hundred and fifty
three officials under indictment, con
viction, and ia the penitentiary : ar?d
it the same time declaring the Demo
cratic party unworthy ot confidence,

I letter, magnifying himself aud La im-
portwee. 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

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.

' 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

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
