Mary E. Bradley la Sunday Afternoon.
Lord, where Thy many mansions be
' Hast Thou a little room for me,
Whose restless feet these many days
By and forbidden paths have trod,
And wandering in uncertain ways
Have missed the way that leads to God?
Lord, is there any room fur me
Who, sorrowing, would return to Thee?
Far have I strayed, till tossod about
On fears that would not be cfest out
For all the subtle theories
That men have framed, whereiu to find
For troubled hearts a doubtful ease,
And freedom for a willful mind
Thy word, once hidden in my breast,
Forever robbed the night of rest. . '
I heard its still, small voice above -
AU ether voices not in love, ' "
As in the old, sweet day of eace,
But in a tone of sad complaint:
" Why art thou swift to seek release
From easy yoke and safe restraint?
Why hast thou taken for thy guide
False lights that lure thee from My side!"
. Lord, if I heard, and in despite
Of warning chose the fair, false light
If, heedless, I Thy spirit grieved,
And slighted as an idle tale
Ixve such as no man hath conceived
What bite repentance can avail?
Jlow shall I dare to lift my face
Once more within Thy holy place?
I know not, verily ; and yet
With doubts perplexed and fears beset,
And the sad heart unsatisfied,
Lord, I remember what sweet rest
I did discover at Thy side ;
With yearnings not to be expressed
I long to walk one more with Thee;
Lord, bant Thou any room for me?
CRA.M AND HIS BUGLERS.
The San Francuco Chronicle thinks
lliis way about the greut tliird-tcrmer
and his parasites :
General G rani's old Attorney-Gen
eral, Oregon Williams, is tlio latest
consideiable authority that Grant is,
or is to be, put into tiainiii"; for that
third term which lias so often becu
talked of. II u is. they say, like thp
second Ctcsar, the only man who can
save the country, ilis European
lour, we are told, has much increased
1)1$ popularity at home, as it tbe adu
lations of a patenlcQiobility and the
flatteries of Kings and Queens M ere
passport to the conndence and af
fection of a people wLose institutions
train them to a hatred, of monarchy
and a contempt of the flunkies ot
Kings apd Quoi ns. "But at the same
t.nje," say tLese trainers, 'Grant
don't waul to run for the oflice, and
courts the indolent repose ot private
life." Thai is almost the identical
language that the most adroit oi all
politicians, M;u';cuu8, put into UiG
mouth of his master, Octavius, when
he was plotting tor a life estate in
imperial honors and powers. Siill,
wtt 310 willing to believe that Graut
does not wunl a third term, and that
il is only such parasites as Williams

Tliev like molasses, and can see no
way to get a tresh barrel opened than

could not or would not see that they
were only flies.
.
As a civil officer ho was quite out
of place and wauling in capacity. It
was among hjs greatest detects as
President that he had no judgement
of men lor civil service. Perfectly
honest himsell and clean handed, he
appealed to think every one else so;
and with the clearest proofs of the
corruption of several ot his Cabinet
aud many who stood near to him,
feeding at the public crib, he treated
every proof with lofiy disdain and
believed iu aud stuck to the inalefuc
tots to the last. His flatterers the
buzz fliis above alluded to menliou
this as one ot the good and strong
points ot his character. And so it is
tor t':em ; but lliey lorgei mat wnat
mav be ver'v cood as an act of per
sonal friendship may be deadly evil
M il affects the body politic. Cor
ruption made greater strides in lui
country in ihe eight years of Grant's
Presidency than iu tbe forty preceea-
ing years. Without any dishonesty
of purpose ou his own part, be popu
lanzed omcial debauchery by loierai
in g il among those called to assist in
tbe administration of the Government,
bv bardoniuz convicted criminals
who bad robbed the revenues, and by
refusing to turn others out of office
long alter their crimes were clear to
everybody else, lie saw tne emi
service coing to the bad at hurricaue
speed, but never rajsad his hand to
f If- . I 1 r.i..
IOD iu H must uaye Known ui
corruptions in Congress, but he never
once spoke of or hinted at tbetn
oast or present. A sincle senteocs
from him ia bis second regular mes
sage, calling the atlenion of the two
Houses to tbo situalioo between tbe
Government and the subsidized and
thieving railway corpralions, would
nrelr bare led to such a nnmpt and
thorough investigation as should
have resulted in tlio passage, eight
years ago of bills which wore passed
ai me lasi session of Uongrcss, and
in tho taving of more than 100,000,
000'. He never took ihe troublo to
write that seutence. We give hiiu
the benefit ot a belief tW his silence
was dictated by a too sensitive regard
for the rights and privileges of a
separate dcnartmenl of the Govern
ment ; but tlio publio at last fell into
the suspicion ot a less honorable mo
tive, and this impaired both his popu
larity and his usefulness. Had Presi
dent Jackson been : ruled hy a like
limidity. the rotten National Bank
might kave festered on for years. In
fact; it became apparent toward tho
closo of Grant's Inst term that the
evils of his Admiuiitralion resulted
mainly from his. incapacity as a civil
ian, just us it happened with Welling
. v it ii....!. ..v.:., v..:,i...
iuuo luob a iouiivibuii. xioitiirr vi
tbem knew whom to trust. They
both always chose tho wrong men for
tbe place, to the detriment of the
publio interests. No man who had
the least knowledgo of law and law
yers would have thought of making a
man ot the ordinary capacity of Oregon
Williams Attorney-General, luere
aro forty better lawyers in this city
to-day. Robeson as Secretary ot the
Navy, Belknap as Secretary of War,
and the nomination of Stewart of
New York as Secretary of tbo Treasu
ry, wero simply preposterous. And
when, by accident, he chanced upon
the right man. as in the case ot Bris-
tow, the weakness of his plyil training
succumbed blindly to the aspersions
of a set of scoundrels who hedged him
about, and resulted in thp dismissal
or the utter disgust and emasculation.
His quarrel with bumricr scandalized
the Kepublicao parly, mid more com
pletely than ever turned its desti
nies over to the keeping of the Cam
crons aud those who were plainly
lostroying it, and who, we fear, will
havo given it tho coup de grace before
the General shall hare returned from
his European campaign.
To talk of snob D man as "the only
man who can save the Bepiibliu" is
an insult to the American people, as
il is an outrage to tho memory of
such great Presidents as Washington-,
Jefferson, Madison and Jackson to
talk Of any man for a third term.

Democratic eleineuls Bucn as look

might be alio to oontrol the Jimperor
as they did the President.
"1 City In Two Slain.
This is perhaps the only city in
tho world that had two mayors and
wo city governments, police, etc., and
taxed in two slates. 1 he lino be
tween Tennessee and Virginia is the
center of Main street; as, for example,
the runaway couple need no coach
nd four but, arm in arm, stop across
Main street and are wedded. The
fugitive commits a crime in Virginia,
goes to tne pavement on trie uint-r
side of the stieet, and talks defiantly
to tho officer on the opposite side, who
has a warraot ler nis arrest, a mips

sometimes, however, bring him to
urief. Several instances havo occur-
red ot a lugilive being imBiieu aero

In Fulda, Germany, regular institu

finches to sinff. The young bird are
placed into classes of six to ten each,

and ken in tne uarit. as viiev
fed a litlle hand organ is played.
Finally the birds commence to associ
ate the music with tho feeding, and
when hnngry, they comix enco to sing
a few notes of the tune they hear
daily. Thoso who do this are at once
placed iu a more cheerful room, wben
light is admitted. This encourages
end msIiMiliem more lively. Then
thev like to sing, snd are taught Wore.
The most difficult part is the starting
ol the birds, some of which have to
ha kent a lonff time in the dark and
n starvation rations, before their
obstinacy is overcome.
Abolisb the Army.
It was tho opinion of our fore-fall),
ors, says the Clarksburg Xeics, that a
well regulated malilia was thq safest
and besulolonse that could be devised
for this country. Our experience has
fully demonstrated this tact. Tho use
of the army as nn important factor in
elections, tho tendency of the people
to elect military men to the Presiden
cy and the disgraceful utterances of
General IMiurman, its commandcr-iu
uhiet, all goes to prove this fact. But
recently General Sherman, when ad
dressing tho graduates ol the West
Point Military Acadeiny,"ileclarod his
intention to use the army iu support
of Hayes if any attempt was raado to
removo him from tho Presidency.
This was applauded by the young
military upstarts who had just gradu
ated at the expense ot the people and
will hereafter live in style as ollieers
in the army on money drawn from
tho same source. It made no diller
enco to Sherman an .1 his audience of
army ofticorsaod West Point studouts
if there was law and authority for re
moving a man from an oflice to which
ho had not been elected. Sherman's
remarks there were so vociferously
applauded was not qualified iu the
least. It means that Hayes was to
be sustained, it made no differcnoe
whether it was legal or illegal, right
or wrong to do so,
We qro conviuced that the time has
como when t he army should be abol
ished aud it should bo done at oiu'O.
It has been well said that "justico bo
long to to-day." Now isjthe accepted
time becauso it may be too lute to
morrow. If the Republic is hi danger
it must be sayed now, because we may
hive no Republic to save to-morrow.
When the army menaies the people
and the Legislative branch ot tho gov
ernment it is time to abolish it. We
can get along without the army. Vol-
unleers can be enlisted to tight I ho
Indians that will bo twice ns elleolive
as the regular army. The States
should all nave a well rcgulatod miitia
and that is all the military prepar
ations this country needs. As lor We'st
Point, its students should not bo quar
tered upon tho country ns army of
ficer. It is enough for tho Govern
ment to educato them, when they get
their military education let them re
tire to tho walks ot private- lilo 'and
work for a living as other pcoplo do,
upon condition that they leinaiu sub
ject to the call of tho Government
when needed, ihis may now uo ro-
garded as silly talk, but the day will
como when tho people will rogrot tho
existence of an army.
Under Democratic Role and Now.
During the administration ol Presi
dent Buchanan., says an exchange,
the annual appropriation for the In
dian Bureau was less lhau one mil
lion tlollais a year. It is' now over
seven millions. Then there were
more Indians supported by the gov
ernment than there is now. Bui the
army had practical charge of the
tribes in thai period. Tho peaco pol
icy of Gram's invention was not
dreamed of, by which to rob the
Treasury, swindle the Indiuiis, sup
port au army of scoundrels as agents
and subordinates on reservations, to
enrich rascally contractors, and to
cause annual Indian wars and tho
massacres ol inoiiensive ironuers
men and settlers. Just befoie the
introduction of this wicked and cor-
rupt system, even under tho Radical
rule, marked as it was by extrava
gance, fraud and plunder, tlio annual
ex Dense of the Bureau was less than
half of what it has been sinco. Yet,
will) all these before them, the Radi
cals in Congress persist in prevont-
incr Democrats from transferring ihe
care of the Indians to the War Do
partmeiit, by which millions would
be vearly saved to the government
mid i eaceablo relations with all the
tubus maintained. Kaslern Oregon
is now paying, in blood of its citizen.',
their property andall else in life, ihe
fi jo-htful cost ot adhering to Grant's
polioy, and the government is sacri
ficing brave soldier and the heavy
loss in treasure to the same evil pur
pose.

Dots Clyssfi Mean a Throne
From the San Francisco Exainlnor. '
In a hittor written by General Grant,
from Paris, May 20, "lately laid he
fore the public in an Eastern p:ip r,
he says : '"I shall return next spring
to' prepare a permanent home"--in
the United States, ol course. In hi
light of the propholio words of tin
lute .General Frank P. Blair, win
knew Grant well, and warned ib
people that he woul I fti the cud iiiu
at constituting himsell n ruler l
life over tho people, his allusion to .
"porrnnneot home,"in conueoiinn wiu
the known purpose of leading Ra I
cals to atruiu place him in ihj exc
tive chair, is significant. His Eur
pean tour, his hobnobbing with mo -archs
and dewiots.arid his own li
position to arbitrary rule, may be con
sidered, and should beguardedagHius ,
as the ways and means to the umhil'
ous end. Cwsur thrico refused l hi.
crown. Jlo depended on his arm v.
He courted ihe populace. He gat tier
ed about him senators and warriors
whom ho favored and rewarded.
But ho was nevertheless intent upon
founding his imperial rule of Home.
Grant is not a Ciesar in intellect, but
he is more thau Ctesar was in tho
craft which sways and binds popular
leaders, lie knows and dares to use
Lis power. The Shcrrnans snd HU'r
dans will cleave to hint through ever
bold push and strike tor him in ecr
exigeucy. Uonkltng, Uhandler, llnv
field, and others will sustain b in. The
monopolists will rally to his stun i
ard. Radicalism will battle for his
suprcmocy, And will) tho head nf
the army, and the horde of oflieo
holders and seekers of plunder and
spoil to fight luriously in his huhalr,
tho peoplo will be overborne n n !
they arouse and eonbine for lomnion
salely. Again, and huncetovlh, iuut
tho Democraoy be impressed with the
pregnant motto ot tho most illustri
ous of their patriotic leaders " liter
nal vigilance is tho price ot liberty I

Those who have read tho evidenco
beforn the Potter Committee, j-oinarks
tho N. Y. Day Hook, will be impress
ed with tho uniform fact that all those
pcuulo who DM.iliui I hnir A l.nlili'.H "f
so-callod Republican creed, are utterly
deficient in moral sense of any kind,
and instead of the (ear of p.oseculion
of perjurers, they talk off their lies ns
glibly as if it was something credit
able as showing their smarlness snd
talent. It makes no difference what
their position, Governors, Senators,
Custom House ollieers or major gen
erals, they all talk alike; all lie with
the same audicily; all Benin to have
lost the moral seuse that nature gavo
them, and when in raro cases, like that
of Secretary Sherman, they heiilate
for a moment, is solely becatiMi of ihe
immediate dmigof of doiection.. Now,
this is no accident; it is a punishment
that nature itself inflicts lor tho out
rage, on lis laws. The negro has no
moral sense, or only approximately.
The most ruspeciable"oolored man"
in this city will jump at the chance of
door keeper in a gambling house, if it
pays well, and while naturally relig
ious, morality is no part of it. The
whito people who no', only ucoeptlhu
abstract "idea," but go the front tq
reduce "equal rights'1 to praclico, bo
come in this respect like the negro,
utterly dead to any sonso ot right and
wrong, and are only restrained by
their tears, Indeed, the "while nig
gcr," or white man, who equalizes
with the negro becomes infinitely
inoro dangerous to society than the
abnormal or "tree" negro, for bis
higher intelligence renders )iim so, and
were il not that he also becomes as
cowardly as the negro, nothing could
rettraiu him. N
