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.

Four-fifths of the members of the

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."

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

A young ministei whose repu

an old doctor pf divinity as to the

Drayton, "to bolster baseness."
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

lorce, "and which ought to put an

and selfish ambition. They are

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."

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.

as follows :
It appears that a gentleman re

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,
