In The Past and the Present. In tbe Spring-of 1SC3. says the Exam iner, a large portion of the Democracy weie anxious to nominate General Grant fr the Presidency, lie had visited the South and on his return had proclaimed that there was no need of harsh measures towards the people of the South ; tl a' they were anxious tn return to the Union and render a cordial obedience to the laws. Sergeant Dates who had served in the war proved the existence of that feeling- in the most conclusive manner. He marched through the Southern States unaccompanied by any one. and unfolded the old Hag in town and country, and everywhere was received with the kindest feeling, and returning to Washington placed the Mag on the dome of the Capi tol. Gen. Grant at one time cherished a similar view of the nutter, and had it not been for the crew who surrounded him. after he became President, inculcating on all occasions a spirit of hatred, the South would long ago have been tranquilizer and her people rendered happy. He fell into bad ban. Is. The Uadiea'.s made hint their standard-bearer ; he surrounded himself wiib. a Cabinet composed of leading spirits of the then dominant party, arid now. after more than seven years have elapsed since peace was de c'ared. we have several Stales run into debt, to the verge of bankrup'cy, by the C trpet-bnggor.-. w ho w ere sent to inaugu- rate their governments. And have the great writ of Right suspended, and an effort being made to prevent its opera tion over a vast territory until after the Presidential election has been decided. In 1 SC8 the Democracy coquetted with Gen. Grant : his political record was meagre, and when eaiefiilly examined to ailotd a miide as what he might do in forming Cabinet and as to w hat were his. views on political q ies; ions, it was found that, stationed in remote, places, he had only voted once for President : an 1 that vote was cast for Buchanan. The Radicals were sati-ii -d with his record for although he had not been one of them, they foresaw that by surrounding him with counsellors, if he were their nomi nee, they could easily direct him. His in experience in civil and political life j t.t staled them. They acted a little quicker than the Democra ic leaders, and tailed a convention at Chicago in April to be held May 20;h ; and they had the as.su r anQc that Grant would stand on a plat form that suited him then, as it proclaini- -1 ,...

I eo'.ii'M1, as cos inesented nttie rrotiua o differ. ice to Democrats : a as between the two, i: was h ud to uceiu what strong! li count be c u ried over to Ch i from our part v. The conclu-iru was reached, however, th we hid to mike a nomination Horatio Son mour was selected, alter de clin'uig it in the most emphatic manner. a:.d with the most dir-inletvsted motives : iiut was prevailed upon to accept, lie foresaw that to win. the candidate ought to have been taken from one of the great Western States : or trom some State w Inch, if doubt...i in politics, w ould have rallied to the Democratic column i"r the honor of leaving one ot lis sous nil the Presidential office. In the coming contest, if wo fail to win it will be from the vacillating spirit pro duced by counting the probabilities o! some one now being adopted outside ol our organization, and hading, vs hen too late, as was the cause thai prevented Judge ('huso's nomination, that the sen timent of the party is to inn a stritght, out-and-out ticket. Until the Convention declares its choice the e.xpre.-iun ot in dividual opinion amounts to nothing. It would take years of talking to overcome the feeling ol the majority of the Demo cratic party to induce litem to abandon their principles from motives of expedi ency. " In the nomination of Gov. Seymour, we weakened our cause bv tajiinjT a citi zen of the State of New Yoik. and this reason would app'v to naming any one from that State now for the I residency. The Republican party could not be held together in IsoD. They disintegrated into two organizations : the Boil and Uveretl wir.g. and the Lincoln wing ; and as the Democrats were divided. Lincoln was elected by a minority vote. In 17'J we have a more bitter s'ate of feeling exist ing between the opponents of Democracy than existed in any previous contest, and hey will niaititsun their organizations. They c animt fuse, and they will not fizzle or they would have uo place to hide their shame Splits in pvrties of far less importance thau those hkely to occur in the Repub lican organization, give the Democracy, on two occasions, the Presidency, and on two other spii's among themselves caused their ib-teai.

Breckin ridge and Bell insured the election of Lincoln. In the approaching struggle the temperance men will present a for midable organization. They Lave fashion ed the laws of several of the States, and are su'licient ly emboldened to try what they can do as a national party : for Con gressional legislation imposts duties cm imported wines and liquors, and the in ternal revenue system on those uianufac lured by ourselves. We do not err in believing that they will run an indepen dent ticket that in several States will hold ihe balance ot power. The Labor Reformer? not abnndon their organization. Should Judge Davis withdraw, which has been rumor&d with out proper foundation, their National Committee would name some cce else, and make a contest to sustain their prin ciples. Should Mr. Greeley- withdraw, som one else, probably I. Gratz Brown, would be placed at the bead of the ticket and another placed on the ticket with him. The Liberal Republicans were too much in e trnesi.as is exhibited b j the -'Ai'-dress to the People of the United States.' and in the declaration of principles em b died in the platform, to back dow n. The D-inocratic National Committee, in our opinion, can name the standard-bearer among those who are attached to Democratic principles who can be success ful in the coming canvass ; and we have faith that it w ill do so as a matter of policy and principle. " A Free ttreakfast Table." Those who voted for the repeal of the tax on tea and coffee, almost the only -purely revenue tax we have, in order that the 819,000,000 of revenue derived from it, all of which goes into the treasury, nrght be raised on articles on which nine-tenths of the tax would go in to the pockets of manufacturini; monopolists, did so, remarks the Detroit guilder the auspeeious pretext that they wanted to ""five the poor man a free breakfast table." 'The transparency of the humbug was perfect in the nature of things; but Hon. James Ibooks, in a recent speech in Congress, in giving a comprehensive exposure of the manner in which protective tariffs aid the people, placed the "free breakfast table" humbug in its true light, lie presents in tabular form an array of taxes which the present tariff imposes upon articles used in preparing and consuming a single 'free breakfast;" and in order that our readers, who are in love with that kins! of diet, may be the bet ter able to digest it, we give the figures below.

Jones, who is an observant gen tleman, found himself questioned upon the Pennsylvania Patent Screw and Auger Line of cars by a man from the interior of some where, lie was a tall, rawboned specimen of humanity, costumed in the style of the middle ages of the West; that is, says Jones, as a middle-aged gentleman in Indiana, for example, gets up his wedding apparel. This nwddle-aged man was accompanied by his wife and two daughters, and ho asked our friend where the President's house was. "On Pennsylvania Avenue," re sponded our friend. " What's the number?" demand ed Western innocence. "It has no number." "Xo number?" gasped the quer ist. " Xone whatever. It is the high privilege ot the President not to be numbered. lie is the only man, except Mullet who is above the Hoard of Public Works. If the Hoard were to order the President's house numbered, or begin digging about it, the President would rise to a question of privilege, and then the lioard would be in a devil of a fix. "You don't say so? What would they do to it, do vou sup pose?" " I can't say precisely ; we never had a precedent; but it is more than probable that the Hoard wotdd be split into kindling wood." "Poor devil ! Well, stranger, I want to see the President." " Do you want an office ? If you do, yon must see Conkim." "Don't want no ofiiee." "Do you want an order on the Xew York Custom House for a job?" " Don't want that neither. What I want is a little secret between Polly and me Polly's my wife." "Yes, and it's a putty big thing, I can tell you." " Well, 1 have no wish to pry into family secrets. I will point out the house when we reach it. It stands back in the yard, with a scarecrow in fro tit to keep the ollice seekers from the President's garden sass. You go to the front door and ring no kick on it, and a man will open it. That is not the President, but he will show you up to a room where you will find a small man attached to a big nose. That is not, the President, although he thinks he is. Xosy will ask you for a card. Don't give hitn a deck; he only wants your name on a slip of paper to send it to the President. Then nosy will say, "Sit down." You needn't be in a hurry to do that; you'll have plenty of time. Alter an hour, nosy will tell you that the President is seeing Senators. If you look sharp you can see them. lhey will come in with their ebe ne.ers elevated as if they smelled a bad smell, then you'll be told the Cabinet is jn session to come again next day. The next day you will be put through the same performance, and the next, and so on for a week, and then the door will be thrown onen and you will have tlie privilege of seeing his ex cellency smoke and say nothing for ten minutes. "Great thunder! Polly, let us take our present and go home." "Present ! you don't mean to say you have a present for the Presi dent ?' "Yes, we have. Fact we have a stuffed goose tlie biggest goose that ever walked. Its a perfect natural curiosity, that goose, and Poll and I determined to fetch that goose and our daughters, on, and give it to the President." " Xo express charges on it?" " Xot a charge ; there it is, the biggest nat'rel curiosity of a goose." "My friend, kick at the front door; sav a present for the Presi dent," and you'll see him in three minutes, and before you can get home, you'll be postmaster." Jones saw the little family and hig goose disappear in at the White House; and although 7Vte Star informs us that the President received, that day, no mention is made of the goose. Somebody describing the "Wood hull Convention in Xew York says that at the close "-he was in estacy, and so was her sUter, Miss Claflin. Her face beamed under her high crowned Xeapolitan hat. She shook hand with the gentlemen enthusiastically. The ladies kissed her and embra'ced her, kissed each other, and kissed her again. I never before saw so much kissing and hugging in public, nor, for that matter, in private either. Men were not afraid to pass hands around women that were not their wives, and women indulged in po litical osculation till thev were tired," A Nefarious Deed. The Ku-Klnx Act has been con tinned in force, says the 1'Zeamincr, the Senate having tacked that in famous enactment on the Civil Ser vice Appropriation bill. A few days ago the House, by a decided majority, rejected the Senate bill to prolong its existence. The Sen ate, however, hesitated at no means to continue it on the statute-book. To do so that body recinded one of its standing rules, which forbade the adoption of any amendment, not in keeping with the nature of the original measure,being engraft ed thereon. Tlie House had no alternative at the late hour at -which tlie Civil Service Appropriation hill, thus amended, was received. It was compelled to continue the odious law, or to adjourn without making provision for the payment of the employes of the Government. This is the most tyrannical act the Rad icals have yet perpetrated. In time of peace the writ ot habeas corpus can be suspended, and dur ing the Presidential canvass, when the person having the power to sus pend is a candidate for re-election. The perpetration of this outra geous act should excite alarm in the minds of I he people. It lore bodes that military power will be exercised to control elections in several of the States. History teaches us a lesson. In modern times a great nation that had pro nounced lor a republican iorm ol government and had selected a President, by universal saliVae, for a fixed term, saw its happiness blighted by a despot changing the form of government and perpetua ting himself in power by the aid of bayonets. To-day that great na tion, mourning in sackcloth, bur dened with an enormous debt and shorn of two of her fairest provin ce?, can justly attribute her misfor tunes to the acts of her President, who, by military power, subverted the Constitution of the French Re public and made himself an K:n peror. V"e are drifting in a like direc tion. Stealthily and with the Senate now acting as a mere Council of State, forcing the House to adopt an iniquitous law, military power is rendered superior to civil authority. It is a step toward na tional degradation when such a tleed can receive legislative sanc tion; and it will woik our dowfall should the election result in giving Gen. Grant another term of the Presidential ollice. The Vcbster Kamily. A correspondent of the spring- held .i puULtcan. writ in or lrom Hoston in reierence to a late acci dent which befell young Appleton, says : The shocking affair of young Appleton, a grandson and name sake of Daniel Webster, has open ed anew the sad history of the Webster family, which, in this branch, may soon be extinct. The private vices of Webster have often been remarked upon, prob ably they were exaggerated by scanda, but such as they were they have borne evil fruit in the habits of his descendants. His 1 son Edward died in the Mexican war, too young to become much known, either for good or evil, Fletcher Webster, who also died a soldier's death, had his father's weaknesses, with little of his strength, and seems to have trans mitted them to his sons, who seem to have been known to the public by their vices. Young Appleton, v. hose fate has for the first time brought him to public notice, is youngest son of Webster's beloved daughter, Julia, who married into the wealthy Appleton family here. She and her husband have been dead many years; their elder son, Samuel Appleton of Southboro, is a gentleman of fair reputation, and has been once or twice in the Leg islature. The younger brother, Daniel Webster Appleton, though an amiable and promising boy, early fell into bad company, and lias been for years though only 2G years of age a confirmed drunkard. He seems now likely to recover from his wounds, and may take warning by the past, ami forsake his evil ways. But the subtle influence of ancestral vice is upon him, and Ids future, in any event, is an anxious one. The Boston newspapers have dealt very plainly with the terrible cir cumstances of his case nor was it possible to do otherwise. Tlie moral lessons of Webster's life are constantly enforcing them selves. This is the latest instance. Dang e no us. The Louis v i 1 le ed'jci' says in come portions of the South it is becoming danger ous to use even the word "nig gardly," the substitute therefor be in ir "colored iv."

The Boston (Hohe $tiy ; So gen eral has the habit of smoking be come in this country that tobacco is now reckoned rather as one of the necessities of life than one of its luxuries. Old smokers will de ny themselves of food, if need be, to obtain the precious weed. It is related by Baron Liebig that dur ing the late Franco-Prussian war the wounded sold Sens, when ex hausted with suffering, would turn away from the mot delicious liquors and food, yet would eager ly smoke a cigar, even if it was of poor quality. To gratify this com mon appetite there were manufac tured in the United States last year 1,.,32,24C,000 cigars, or at least taxes were paid on that num ber. At ten cents apiece, this would would give the enormous ol vI-lV 224,000 to be divided amonrx man ufactures, dealers, producers, tlie customs and the internal revenue. There has been a good deal of growling of late, not only among dealers, but among consumers, at the extremely onerous taxes on an article of such general use. As will be seen from tlie loiluwit figures, wholly tine cit these comi.lamts are not groundless : thousand ars, bott-rht for 5o in Havana, cost when la tided in Nov, York, 112 50; for to the prime ! AJoston widow wears with be cost in Cuba is added the export ! coming jpride a massive gold ring duty of 1 50, freight 4 0 cents ; j Biade from the plate of her de ad "va'orem $12 5'?; -2 CO nor ; ceased husband's teeth. pound v f I n ! t ! n r 1l w i . i . .-; O - T i fifteen pounds, ay 50 ; interna! i revenue tax 5; handling CO cents ; I gold premium on duties v5. W e have already reached the n ! 1 2 50, and have still to add I he profits of wholesale and retail dealers, and neither take less than 25 per cent and we have brought the cost per thousand to tlie neighborhood of $170. before the cigtU's reached the consumer. It will be seen that of this sunt 00 goes to the Government, which all intelligent smokers will agree is too much. j .v ir..

Indeed lhe great majority of men who have acquired for themselves a great and good name were not only mar ried men, but happily married both paired and matched. The Richmond llnfjn'irer, in the course of an article on the Presi dency, after stating the objection of the late Southern rebels to vot ing for a man for President who contributed to their defeat in the field, an objection holding good against even General Hancock, says: "With Mr. Greeley it is quite another thing. He was not a sol dier in the war at all. He was not lluence, first to permit the South ! to depart in peace, and ai'terward to settle the difficulty upon any terms that were honorable alike to ! both sections.
