Far be it from our desuje to insult a
fallen man 5 but we cannot lorbrar to
say that, in the defeat of Horatio Sey
mour, thu people of tho United States
have done n greater act of justice than
they tended. Their objections to him
were in his friends and hi policy. They
did not genurally know that the man
himself is a sniveler, a hypocrite, a cow
ard and a trimmer, whom to call a pa
triot or a statesman is to do him honor
he never doervod. A "Christian Dem
ocrat," whoso obtuse moral sei.so could
never bo dlstutbed by tho system of
elavery that ho defended 5 a Union man
who would havu accepted tho Mont
gomery constitution ns thu basis of sec
tional harmony ; a loyal man, over in
readiness to apologised for disloyalty',
a helf constituted champion of the Ru
public's financial honor, who sold out
to those who would dishonor tho Re
public; a friend ol Chaso until he was
paid by a nomination to betray that
friendship; thu professed advocate of
I e.icu until his interest impelled linn lo
make common cause with thoso who
aro for another war; n phrase maker by
trade, with raro power of insinuating a
liu that ho dares not tell in terms ; a
politician by choice, using only a poli
tician's arts and contemning the high
cr instruments of truth nnd reasons; a

Edwin M. Stanton-
We have nlwnys considered Mr. Stan
ton as a person upon whom tho Presi
dent might choose to learn, from habit
as well as iuolitutioii. Mr. Stanton
was the wrongest spirit of the war.
He duly understood tho crisis. Ho
knew it was not a meie war of forces
uuder stable institutions, but it was a
strife of ideas which attacked systems.
Ho leaped over forms and put himself
into direct electiioeoiiimunioation with
all the Stato authorities of tho frcu
Slates, so as to inoculute them with
his own rapid aveision to slavery, aud
not so much to that, as to tho slave
holder. Re collected his resources
from ovsry quarter, rogardlcss of legal
ity or cost. Ho pouicd out tho war
material ; hu lavished men and money
He organixed tho victory of of tho
North and tho defeat of tho South.
Ho mado the reputation of General
Grant aud all the other Generals. Wo
havo often stated, what wo still be
lieve that if Mr. Stanton had been the
Southern Secretary of War, instead of
the Northern, ho could have reversed
the result, and wo beliovo it. Had it
not been lor his method, energy bold,
ness, persistence, and confidence, pur
Generals and armiert would havo been
frustratod by their opponents, and tho
infinato variety of adverse forces to bo
surmounted in such a difficult war of
invasion. Commoner.

A Touching Story. ,
vr
What agony was on my mother's
tnco uhoti all rho had said and suffer
ed failed to niovo me I Shu arosu to
go homo nnd I followed at n distance.
She spoke to 1110 no moro till sho reach
ed her own door.
It is school lime, now," she tnlJ
"Go, my sou, and ouco more let me
beseech you to think upon what I have
said."
"I shan't go to school," Baid I.
Sho looked astonished nt my lipid
ness, but icpliud firmly:
"Certainly you will, Alfred 1 1 com
mand you."
"I will not," said I; "you can't get
mo up stairs."
"One of two things you must do, Al
fredcither go to school this minute
or I will lock you up in your room, nnd
keep you there until you promise im
plicit obedience to my wishes in thu
future."
"I daro yon to do it," said 1 5 "you
can't get me up stairs."
"Alfred, chousu now," said my moth
er, who laid her hand upon my urin.
She trembled violently, nud was deadly
pale.
"If you touch mo I will kick you,"
said 1 in a fearful rage. God knows I
knew not what I said 1
"Will you go, Alfred V"
"No!" I replied, but qiiailedooncath
her uyc.
"Then follow mo," shu said as sliu
grasped mu firmly. I raised my foot
"(JHiy son, hear me," I raised my
fooMtWkiokcd hur, tny saluted moth
er. How my head reels an thu tor
ment ot memory rushes over mu ! I
kicked my mother a feeble woman,
my mother! Sho Htaggercd back a
fuw steps and leaned against tho wall.
She did not look nt me, I saw her
heart beat against lior breast. "O
Heavenly father I" shu cried, "forgivo
him hu knows not what ho docs!"
Thu gardener just then passed the
door, and seeing my mother wits pale
and almost unable to support herself,
hu beckoned him to coutu in,"
"Take this boy up stairs and lock
him in his room," said she, mid turned
off from me. It was a look of agony
mingled with iutensest Jovo it was
tho Inst uiititterablu pang Irotu a heart
that was broken.
In a moment I found myself a pris
oner in my own room. I had thought
for a moment I would lliug mysulf from
thu open window, hut I full that I was
afraid to die, I was not penitent. At
limes my heart 'was subdued, but my
ktubboi'iiess roso in mi instant, and
bade mu not yield it. Thu pulu fauo
ol my mother haunted me. I Hung
myself on my bed and fell anlccp.
Just at twilight I heard u footstep up
proach my door. It was my sister.
"What shall I tell mother for you?"
she said.
"Nothing," I replied.
"O, Alfred, for my sako and all our
siikes, say that you aro sorry. Let 1110
tell mother you aro jorry. Sho Jongs
to forgive you."
I would not answer. I hoard her
footsteps slowly rctreutiug, and again
llung myself on tho bod to puns a
wretched und feurlul night.
Another footstep, slower and feebler
than my sister's disturbed me.
"Alfred, my sou, shall I come in '("
sho asked,
I cunuol tell what influcnco, oporat
iug at that moment, made 1110 speak
adverse to my. feejlngs. The gentle
voice of my mother that thrilled me,
melted the ico from my hcait, nud I
longed to throw myself upon her noek
but I did uot. My words gave tho llu
to my heart when I said that I was not
sorry. I heard hor withdraw. I heard
her groan. I longed to call her back
but I did not.
I was awakened from an uneasy
slumber by hearing my iiaino called
loudly, and my sister stood beside my
bedsido.
"Get up Alfred. Don't wait a mm
utc. Get up and como with mo ; moth
er is dying I"
I thought I was yet ijrcamlnc;, but
I got up mechanically and followed
my sister. On the bed, pals as n,ar
ble, lay mother. Sho. had thrown her
self on the bed to rest; and, rjslng So
1 Ha pa?J9 Bttii oq 'tn p, uie8t. o3
palpitation' of tho heart, and borub to
her room.
I cannot tell you my agony as 1
looked upon Jier my remorse was ten
fold moro bitter from tho thought that
tho never would know it. I believed
myself to be her murderer. I fell on
the bed boida her. I could not weep.
My heart burned within my bosom
my brntn was on fire. My sister threw
her arms around me nnd wept iu si
lence. Suddenly wu saw a motion of
mother's hand ; her eyes Unclosed.
Sho had recovered her consciousness,
but not hor speleh. Sho looked at mo
mid moved her lips. 1 could not un
derstand her words.
"Mother! mother 1" I shrieked, "say
only that you forgivo me I"
Shu could not say It with her lips
but her hand pressed ml no. Shu smil
ed upon mo and lilted Iter thin white
hnnds, sho clasped my own within
them, nud cast her oyes upwnrd. Sho
moved hur lips In prayer and thus she

Death Valley." It is said to bo low
er than the level ol the sea, and wholly
dcstiltito'of water. Thu valley is some
fifty miles long by thirty In breadth,
mid savu nt two points It is wholly en
circled by mountains, up whose steep
sides it is impossible for any but ex
pert climber to ascend. It is devoid
ol vegetation, mid shadow ol bird or
wild Tieaafnuver darkened its whito
glaring saud. In early days trains ot
emigrants bound lor Caliloruia passed,
under thu direction ot guides, to the
south ot Death Valley, by what i
known ns tho "Oil Mniiunu Road."
In thu year 1850, a largo train, with
sumo tl'ireu hundred emigrants, mostly
from Illinois and Missouri, enmu south
from Salt Lake, guided by a Mormon.

They roaehed the centur, but only the
white glaring sand, bounded by the
scorching peaks, met their gaze on ,e

themselves in death under the hot sun.
Then thu clilldrun, crying lor water,
died at their mother's breast, and with
swollen tongues and burning vitals the
niutliur followed Wagon niter wagon

week's wandering a dozen survivors
found water in thu hallow of a rouk iu
