Radical IntT isxnce and Virtue Every fellow in the Republican party, says the Sonoma Democrat, cwho lias sense enough to be reck oned above an idiot, and cultiva tion to write his name, makes it his business to charge that the Demo cratic party is supported and sus tained through ignorance. It" this were true, we might reply that it were better for virtue to be sup ported by ignorance than for vice to run riot under the management of corruption, venality and down right rascality. Claiming all the intelligence of the country, the lie publican party is unquestionably the most corrupt that ever dis graced the Republic. It has made use of what intelligence it possesses to defraud aud rob the people. Its history is one of trickery, deception and rascality. This charge of ig norance against the Democratic pari v comes with a bad grace from a party which has within its folds perhaps a million or ignorant senu barbarians but yesterday released from slavery, and totally destitute of any knowledge of government; it comes with a verv bad irrace from a party -which knowingly, willfully and confessedly spit upon and trampled down the Constitu tion of the country, and was sus tained by the voters within its ranks; it comes with a very bad grace from a party which has scar cely made a pledge since its or ganization that has not been wan tonly broken ; and whose corrup tion and rascality are unrebuked, if not approved, by the rank and file. 0 This claim of superior intelligence b frequently coupled with another of superior virtue, although it is notorious that the Republican par ty swarms with scoundrels whose sole study is to rob and plunder; and that it places in nomination and elects to office thieves, biga mists, murderers, occupants of as signation houses, defaulters and other vile characters. We do not envy the "superior intelligence" of Badiealism. It is entirely too smart. If it knew less and were more honest and descent, it would be better for the country. . , Johnny was telling his ma how he was going to dress and show oft when he was a man.

C.) correspond ent of the Richmond (Ky.j Mes senger thus alludes to political af fairs in the old Palmetto State: Four-fifths of the members of the Legislature are negroes, who have made from three to a hundred thousand dollars each. The Lieut. Governor and Secretary of State are mulattoes, and three out of four members of Congress range in color from a bottle of ink to a dirty piece of sole leather. One of the Associate Justices of the Supreme oencn is so Diacic that a chalk mark on his philanthropic physiognomy wouiu iook nice a light-house in a fog, while the ponderous gravity wuu wnicn ne listens to the learned arguments of the really learned men of the State, who are forced to appear before him, has its equal only in that ridiculous sedateness with which you have seen a mon key catch fleas. The leader of the Legislature is a Michigan negro, whose linguistic oiliness quickly brought him to the dingy surface. and there he still floats in vanity and wealth. lie is called the "Black 'rince," and lives in style about seven miles from Charleston, and owns twenty horses and mules. with handsome carriages; drives with a footman, and fires a bottle or two of champagne with a lavish hand to every sight-seer who has a curiosity to visit an ebony idol in his own home. ---4 Soldiers of the War of 1S12- The Chicago Tribune, a Radical paper, has the lollowing: The number of applicants for bounty for the war of 1812, already passed, is 2tf,000. 1 he Third An- litor estimates the whole number of applicants at 40,000, Commis sioner Van Aerman, in his report to Congress, said they would not exceed 5,000. He and the other claim agents knew better. A greater swindle on the Government was never practiced than to pen sion the sixty day home guards and their widows, of the petty war ot 1812-15, on the National Trea sury. Some five millions of dollars per year will be filched from the treasury for a number of years, "and divided amoncr the claim igents and their clients, most of whom are in comfortable circum stances, atid none ot whom have iroper claims to be supported out of the National Treasury. Newspaper Work. A recent writer pointedly and truthfully re marks that journalism is the only profession which ideuied the priv ilege of privacy. The Lawyer, Doctor and Preacher, do their work in private, and no weighty person al responsibility attaches to them m account ot it. lut the journalist is a mark for the public eye, and his every movement is as open as the course of the sun, Moreover, the work of the Press i continu ous, as well as constantly public. There is no rest for the weary. Space is no-more annihilated by telegraph than time by journalism. The evening and morning are not merely the first day but seven. Night is annihilated as to all its quantities of repose. Every min ute of every hour of the twenty tour is occupied by some workers doing some work that shows itself in the newspapers of the day and afternoon. Repetition is as im possible as rest. Facts are ever new. Comments must be as fresh as facts, and the edition is the remorseless giant that eats up all the seconds. The making of a newspaper is perpetual motion in a thousand fields. In such work, de manding ceaseless effort, permitting no pause, exacting eternal and ever varying exercises, it is impossible for wheat to be unmixed with chaff, for accuracy not to be impaired by mistake, for injustice not occasion ally to be done. Acknowledged the Corn. Not far from Susquehanna county, Perm., a clergyman, celebrated for his talent at making blunders, after having pronounced a happy couple man and wife, concluded the ceremony by "wishing them a happy and pleasant journey through life, and hoped that they would be blessed in their married relation as were Abraham and Sarah; in days of old." Before the company diffused themselves to their respective places of abode, a youth of Soriptural pursuits in formed them that "Sarah was one hundred years pld before she bore Isaac!" That was so! The clergy man acknowledged the corn, and "then tho band played." . -- The "Abvssinian strfctph" has superseded the Grecian bend and the kangaroo droop among the befios ot fashion, it is sup- nosed that this will have a short run, as the "Madagascar flutter" and the "Fijian sprawl" are wait ing to be adopted. A Scathing Speech Carl Sohurz delivered a speech in Chicago on the 12th iilt., in which he handled Grant's adminis tration with caustic severity. Schurz is one of the ablest men of the country, and, although a Re publican, hesitates not to denounce the dishonest practices and flagrant violations of the Constitution which have marked the course of President Grant. Germans of, California ! you are asked to in dorse the national administration. The Republican platform put forth at Sacramento gives it an unquali fied approval. Hear what your great Senator says on the subject, and then ask your own consciences if you can honestly vote a ticket whose success would be an indorse ment of wrongs so eloquently de picteu. utiiers, lie says, "may compromise with their consciences. I shall not indorse a violation of the fundamenatal law by support ing the re-election of the President who perpetrated it. Vituperation and calumny majr be heaped upon me. I am conscious of an aim as pure as it is great, and shall be in flexible, and if I stood solitary and alone, I would not cease to sound the signal of danger, deeply con vinced, as I am, that future events will justify my warning," This had reference to the San Domingo job. On the subject of Grant's nepotism he thus speaks: President Grant has placed his cousins and brothers-in-law, by the dozen, at the public crib, and the whole chorus of flatterers exclaim: "A trifle ! who will find fault with him for that?" And he who feels the indecency of such acts, and ex presses his feelings, is simply de nouced as a traitor whose heart must be full of black designs. These are no trifles. The cousins and brothers-in-law of the Presi dent may, as officers, be no worse than others, but when he puts them to the public crib, the chief of the State teaches his subordinates by his example, which is every where visible, that, in his opinion, a pub' lie office may be used for selfish ends, to make out of it what can be made. And who will wonder when these subordinates also make out of their offices all that can be made, when the chief of the State takes presents, ;md then puts the donors into high offices and dignit ies. These men so appointed mav be very worthy men, and the presents may have had nothing to do with the appointments, but the chief of the State has shown his subordinates that, in his opinion, an officer may take presents and then grant his favors to the donors in an official way, and who will then wonder when the subordin ates, following the high example, also take presents and give their official favors to the donors. The New York papers are mak ing much noise over the fact that while Republican conventions pass resolutions in favor ot civil service c IT ., , Cl , ,r . , reform, a United States Alorshal , , , -j . . declares to a subordinate officer, , , , , i ' whom he has just removed, that for the removal there were only political reasons, and none arising out of any political shortcomings. Is that surprising, when the chief of the Government, after having declared himself in his message in favor of civil service reform, con tinually and persistently removes officers whose official conduct was unimpeachable merely for the pur pose of putting political tools in their places, carrying the trade in consciences so far that the world laughs at it. Like master, like man. We ought to be surprised at noth ing. No, gentlemen, these are not trifles which show that from the highest position where a model should be exhibited for imitation, that influence proceeds which un dermines all fair official feeling"' of honor. Had Washington, instead of furnishing so fine an example of noble disinterestedness, given on his part the example of corrupt nepotism, he could, by this exhib ition, for all the future, have pois oned the character of our public services, That in our days this poison descends in such streams from the highest places is certainly a misfortune, but it is a greater misfortune that the party spirit covers such acts, which undermine official honor in the whole repub lic, under the mantle of respecta? billity. I konw WQ that censure and abuse will rain down upon me for what I have said here, bllt ak those who blame me whether what I have said is not true, word for word, and what can they answer? 1 am for civil-servieo reform in dead earnest. JEIxam iner. A young ministei whose repu tation for veracity was not very good, once ventured to differ with an old doctor pf divinity as to the efficacy of the use of" the rod. "Why," said he, "the only time my father ever whipped me it was for telling the truth.. "Well," retort ed the doctor, "it cured you of it did'ut it?" The two Usurpers, The Union beholds, with evi- dent pleasure, the "impending ruin of Baez." The latter, it acknowl- edges, "is securing money from this country to bolster his finances."

Republicans will not believe this; and it is the knowledge of this fact that encourages Grant in the commission of his outrages. After alluding to the prospective coalescing of all the elements in San Domingo opposed to Baez, the Uniotisnys: "We may, therefor prepare our minds for the news, at no distant day, that Baez is de feated and exiled from San Do mingo ; which ought to end the San Domingo question at Wash ington,' It might have added, with graceful candor and great lorce, "and which ought to put an end to the schemes, as well as to thc political career, of U. S. Grant," the man who was going to have no policy to enforce against the will of his countrymen ! We shall hail the fall of Baez as the precursor of the fall of Grant, and the shipwreck of his wicked and selfish ambition. They are twin usurpers, whose overthrow nurst be affected speedily, or the direst consequence will follow. lleporter.

And as sure as "God liveth" this time is hastening. Jloldoi (Mo.) Democrat. -- A Touch of Nature. The following incident, that comes direct from one of the parties concerned, conveys an in struction which may well be laid to heart by the good people North and South : Mrs. B., a Southern lady, who had lost a son, an only child, in the Confederate army, was sitting in the parlor of a hotel iu St. Louis, when a Northern lady entered the room. A conversation soon com menced, when, after the exchange of a few words, the Northern lady asked : "Were yon in this city during the war ?" "No, madam," was the reply, "I was in the South." "What, on the rebel side." "Yes, and lost a son, an only phild, in our army." The Northern lady arose at once from her seat and throwing her arms around the neck of her late enemv, exclaimed ; "Then, we can deeply sympa thize with one another. I too lost a noble boy. an only child, in the army of the Union ; and both our darlings died convinced that they were doing their duty," "One of these dear ones was ('a rebel," the other a "Yankee." - Slander kills three-fold him that utters, him that is attacked, and him that hearkens. C0TJRT3SY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Keputlicans Against Grant- ! rfVorn tteX. Y. Sun (Radical), August l5th.J ! An extensive journey through the Northwestern States has brought us into contact with many Republicans, both of those who count as leaders In the party, and ! those who have long been proud. ! that could possibly befall the Re publican cause. lut very many. if not the most of these Repubji- cans, fear that the power of Grant's officeholders may force him upon the party, notwithstanding the certainty of his defeat in the elec tion. e regret to be obliged to add that outside of the great and gallant State of Illinois the num ber of those who propose to make an open and decisive resistance to the base design of the officehold ers is but small. The timidity, the weakness, the neglect of all conscientious obliga tion exhibited by the Republican party press in regard to Grant's corruption, incapacity and military law-breaking have from the first been most deplorable. They have tacitly connived at his present taking, his nepotism, his high handed contempt for the statutes j of Congress, and even lt his re- cent military crime in New Orleans. 1 hey have stood by, silent or apologizing, as in one State after another he has treacherously 'as sailed and broken in pieces the great party by w hich he was con fidingly raised to the Presidency. They have even done more than this they have abused and sland ered the Sun because it dared to tell the truth they foolishly hoped to keep hidden from the world ; and now, with 'a few honored ex ceptions, they privately tremble with alarm lest this useless and fatal man Should again be fastened upon them, and drag their party down into permanent ruin. Let the Republican press awake to its duty. All the officeholders in the country cannot make Giant a candidate in 1872 if the incor ruptible body of the party are truly informed respecting his con duct. The latest method of disinfect ing is extremely, simple, and is said to be as effective as simple. The disinfecting agent is common iron-, and it is said that by placing a few nails or scraps of iron in water it may be disinfected and kept fresh. This method has been tried and found sucessful with wa ter from the Thames, notorious for being one of the filthiest streams in Europe. Water in which flow ers are placed may be kept fresh by this means ; and it is said that some iron fillings were placed in water, in which a leech was also placed, and that the same water was sweet and the leech alive six months after. A lady teacher, in the Baptist Sunday School, at Orange, recently had occasion to illustrate a lesson on "faith." by the story of a child who was told by his father to drop from an elevated place into his arms. The father could not be seen by the child, yet, when com manded, it dropped. Upon the teacher asking her class what was shown by this story, a bright lit tle fellow immediately replied : "It showed that he had pluck"," . Not Disappointed. A drunken fellow with a box of matches in his pocket lay down on the side walk in Muscatine, thp other day, to enjoy a quiet snooze. While rolling over in his sleep the matches took fire. Awakening, he snuffed the air conspicuously, smelt the burning brimstone, and ejaculated: "Just as I expeted; in h 1, (hie), by hokey." The following recipe is said to give a paste of powerful adhesive qualities, and that will keep well: Dissolve one ounce of alum in a quart of warm water. When cold, add as much flour as will bring it to the consistency of cream ; stir in half a teaspoonful of very finely-powdered rosin, and add two or three cloves. Boil to the proper consistency. Paste so prepared is said to keep indefinitely. Dependency. The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. From the time that the mother binds the child's head, till the moment some assistant wipes the deathrdamp from the brow of the dying, ye cannot exist without mutual help. All therfore, that need aid, have a right to ask it for their fellow mortals. No one, who holds the power of granting it, can refuse it without guilt.

The follow ing true and elegant paragraph is from the pen of Mrs. Sigourney : Man ingiht be initiated in the va rieties and mysteries of needle work; taught to have patience with the feebleness and waywardness of infancy, and to steal with noiseless tread around the chamber of the sick; and the women might be in structed to continue to contend for the. -palm of science; to pour fourth eloquence through senates, or to wade through fields of slaughter to a throne. Yet revolt ing of the soul would attend the violence to nature, this abuse to physical and intellectual energy; while beauty of social order would be defeated, and fountain of earth's felicit' broken up. We ar rive then, at this conclusion: The sexes are intended for different spheres and instructed in conformi ty to their elifferent destinations, by Him who bids the oak brave the fury of the tempest, and the Alpine flower lean its cheek on the bosom of the eternal snows. But disparity docs not imply inferiori ty. The high places of the earth, with al! their pomp and glory, are indeed only accessible to the march ot ambition or the grasp of power; yet those who pass with faithful and unapplauded zeal through their humble round of elutv are not unnoticed by the great taskmaster above.

The Richmond Whig of Aug. 8th contains an account of a bru tal murder i-:v.w,.:. A border in Wiiks to;;; ross the . North Carolina, a tew days ago, and the circumstances of which are not a little remarkable. The account is as follows : It appears that a gentleman re siding in that county a few days previous to the murder sold a tract of land for which he received x,000 in cash. Business calling him away from home soon after, he left the money with his wife, and on returning he stupp.-'d over night with a friend living some ten or twelve miles from his home. In the night he dreamed that some men had entered his house, mur dered his wife and two children, stolen his money, and destroyed his propertv. Knowiit"- that he had lei't hi- 11 . v - - monev uneasy tit i.iS wife. he became ue.i restless u quested a after hi dream, and peddler who was stopping with him at the house to a .' v him at once to hi home, r he feared there was a reality hi his dream. On arriving at his home to his horror he found his wife murdered and two men silting at the table counting out the money he had left with his wife. He" and the. peddler being armed immediately fired upon the men and killed them, who turned out to be the man to whom he had sold the land, and from whom he had received the mony, aud his son. This is one of the most atrocious murders on re cord, and shows what foul deeds money will lead men to commit. Too Bad. A little girl, dressed in bloomer costume, who had been seated between her elder sister and beau, during a drive to the coun try, on her return accosted her mother thus: "Ma, ma, I won't ride with sister Jane and Thomas Smith any more, for he keeps a-hugging arid a-kissing her all the while. Now, just see how he mussed up my pretty bloomer hat," at the same time holding up to the aston ished mothers view a dilapidated looking bloomer. "Susan ! Susan ! how can you talk so?" Mas the mother's exclamation. "It can't be possible that your sister allows Air. Smith to take such liberties !" "Yes, but it is possible," was the re ply of the mischievous little minx -;and mother she likes it, for she leans up to him just like brother Jack's Guinea pig when he scratch es his back." Cleanliness. A neat, clean. fresh aired, sweet, cheerful, well arranged house exerts a moral in fluence over its inmates, and makes tho members of a family peacea ble and considerate of each other's feelings and happiness. The con nection is obvious between the state of mind thus produced, and respected for others, and for those higher duties and obligations. which no law can enforce. On the contrary, a tilt hy, squalid, noxious dwelling, in which none of the de- cencies ot lite are observed, con tributes to make the inhabitants selfish, sensual, and the constant indulgence of such passions renders them reckless and brutal. MuTTERiNGs.Dana, of the New York Sin, says of Grant's action in controlling and intimidating a Republican State Convention in Louisiana by bayonet power, thatG "it gives strong color to the pte- diction ot General prank Blair, that Grant would use the army if necessary to retain his power in the White House." Even the Tribune growls, and savsthehoid ing of their Convention by the Grant people, "in so unsuitable a place as the custom-house, for the sake of gettin g a plausihlo plea for engaging United States troops to protect it, is not to be justified on any pretext." In another article the Tribune aimouces itself flatly against Grant's re-nomination, and savs it will give proper time. its reasons at a Nonsense.

The shallowest understanding; the rudest hand, is equal to the task of destroying or pulling clown.
