POLITICAL ITEMS.
New York has given the Democrats
$40,000 for electioneering purposes.
11. D. Maxwell, one of the leaders of the
Pennsylvania Democracy, has declared for
Grant and Colfax.
Frank Blair, says the Detroit Tribune;
visited the Soldiers’ Homo, at Dayton, Ohio,
on Monday, and was hissed and groaned
out.
The Legislature of Indiana stands ns
follws: Senate —Republicans, 31 5 Demo
crats, 10. House of Representatives- Re
publicans, 55 ; Democrats, 43.
All the Democratic speeches—more
especially Ben Hill's and Frank Blair’s,
help the Republican cause.
A New York paper :ays it knows of
a man who wagered S6OO on the result ot
the Pennsylvania election, on the strength
of a weather prophet’s prediction that the
day would be stormy.
The True Democrat,, the leading Irish
journal of New Jersey, has hauled down the
name of Seymour and Blair, and run up
the names of Grant and Colfax.
Vallandigliam’s paper, the Dayton
Ledger, was filled with cuts of Irish harps
and legends of “ Erin-go-brah - ’ on the
morning of the election. Alas! these harps
are now hung upon the willows.
Several New York Democrats, among
them Sweeney, Tweed and Harvey C. Mur
phy, suggest a repudiation at the Broad
head letter, and a denial of revolutionary
intentions on the part of Mr. Blair.
And now comes poor old Henry S. Foote,
once Governor of Mississippi, sin ex-rebel
Senator, who is terrified at the handwriting
and wants to “ climb down.” He got s for
Grant and Colfax.
Seme people rem;plain that the r-.tu;ns
didn’t come in fast cnoujli on Tuc:<day
night. They came as fast as we wauled
them. — Boston Post, Dem.
During the Democratic procession in
Cincinnati, an old lady cheered for Gen.
Grant, when a bold “White Boy in Blue”
stepped from the ranks and knocked her
down.
New Jersey Democratic papers have,
until recently, alluded to their candidate;
Mr. Randolph, as Governor Randolph.
They have beard from Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, and have dropped the
title. Significant, isn’t it?
The United States Senate is now com
posed of seventy members. Fifty-eight of
these are firm adherents of the Union, and
twelve are admirers of the “statesmanship”
of Seymour and the “ ferocity” of Blair.
General Sickles proposes to indemnify
George IT. Pendleton and others, to the
exact amount of; their individual interest in
the national indebtedness, in Confederate
scrip. That proposition makes a practical
application of paying one in his own coin.
Buchu, according to the picture, is gath
ered by Hottentot slaves in Central Africa.
That’s why the Democracy like it—it re
minds them of the “good old times.”
The recent elections have inspired the
following lines in the brain of a poet:
Indiana supports the tanner,
I’cnnayivania has the mania,
Therfvfld Ohio makes a trio,
While brave Nebraska doos what you ask her.
And Jersey blue, is coming too.
A Wheeling (W. Va.) Republican con
gratulated a twenty-two year old youth from
the country on the defeat of Vallandigham.
“VaUnndigbem," echoed the youth, “where
is ho from?” “From Ohio,” was the answer.
. “Oh. yes,” exclaimed the seeker after truth,
“ Wasn't he the man who hung Mi s. Surratt."
“Sich is fame I”

.UAVtf’nOw “nothing whatever to *Kope for
except within the limits of this city ; even
Mr. Hoffman’s defeat, it would seem, is
Svlured by the decisive victory in Pennsyl
vania, and that no soiling out of Mr. Sey
moot can now give the State to Tammany.”
This is the opinion of only a weekly, how
ever.
Already several Southern journals de
nounce John Quincy Adams as a milk-and
water man, “but little better than a rank
Radical.” One journal says they “are
neither Hindoos nor Hottentots, to be
talked 'to like children.” That’s right.
Stand up for your independence, and when
you can’t stand up, why—lie down for it.
The present position of the Democratic
party is very much akin to that of the two
shipwrecked sailors, who, finding that their
frail raft was rapidly going to pieces, said,
one to the other :
Horatio. “Frank, can you pray ?”
Frank. “No; canyon?”
Horatio. “No; but something, must be
done d—d quick !”
It is well to remember that Beauregard
wrote to Martin, August 3, 1862, as follows :
"We will yet have to come to proclaim this
war ‘a war to the knife,’ when no quarter
will be asked or granted, I believe it is
the only thing that will prevent recruiting
in the North.” Os course, Beauregard is
in ardent supporter of Seymour and Blair.
The World has two ways of accounting
for tlie overthrow of its party. One is by
“the prestige of General Grant,” and the
other by “the perversions of Genera’ Blair’s
position.’. If neither bad been nominated,
the World thinks the result might have been
different. “Henry,” said Mr. Beecher one
day to bis son, “I once came very near mnr-
Tying Nancy Eaton ; if I had done so, would
you "have been you?”
We like a good hit, even if our own
friends suffer. The following, from a South
ern Democratic paper, must tnakg even old
Bi n himself laugh : “Below will be found
what is deemed u proper text from which to
preach ihe funeral sermon of Ben Butler:
From Jeremiah, iii., If): ‘And the basins,
and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the
caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the
spoon , and the cups; that which was of
gold, in gold, and that which was of silver,
in silver, the captain of the guard took
away.’ ”
During a. recent discussion in Meigs
county, Tenn., between Colonel Stokes, Re
publican, and Colonel Garrett, Democratic
candidate for Congress, the former charged
the latter with accepting a seat in the Legis
lature whilst he was in the army :
“I was not in the army,” responded Gar
rett.
“Well, you wore your uniform,” said
Stokes.
“It was all the coat I had,” rejoined Gar
rett. ’ -

The National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on die 20lh day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, a3
evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the Slates
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the Government to siistain those institutions, dud to
prevent the people of such States from being 'remitted
tqa state of anarchy.
20. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to
all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con
sideration of public Rftfety. <»f <rrftlitn<le and of Justice,
and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage
In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home aud abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under whidhit wa»-conlraclc<l.
4th. It is due. to the labor of tile nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
terest thereon, w henever it can honestly be done.
6th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of
Wa'SkmW't'ttwwer'KtM otTnUreattaau n now
fliHWi
pected.
7th. The Government of the United States should be
administered with the strietoat economy, and the cor
ruptions which have Leon so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ridicnl re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, aud regret the accession of
Andrew Johnson to the I’ieHidency, who has acted
treacherously to the people who elected him . and the
cause he nas pledged to support; has nsurf t-tl Idgli
legislative and judicial functions; has refused, to exe
cute the laws; has used liishigh office to induce other
officers to ignore and violate the laws; lias employed
his executive powers to render Insecure the property,'
peace, liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the
pardoning power: has donnmmed the Notional Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re
bellion; has perverted the public patronage into on
engine of wholesale corruption; luid has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, anil
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the rote of
thirty-live Senators.
9th. The doctrine of Great Britain aud other European
powers, that because a man Is once a Subject, ue is
always so, must be resisted al every hazard by the
United States, as a retie of the feudal time, not author
iz<yH>y the law of nations, and al war with our national
honor and independence. Naturalized citizens arc enti
tled to be piotectcdin all their rights of citizenship ns
though they were natural bom, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts
done, or words spoken, tn Ulis country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in bis behalf.
10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials of (he late
war, there wore none entitled to more especial honor
than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the
hardships of the campaign and cruise, anil Imperilled
their lives in the service of tho country. 'The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. The
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of
the peuple, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s
protecting care.
11th. Foreign Immigration, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development of resources,
and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour
aged by a liberal and Just policy, ’
12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all
the oppressed people which ere struggling' for’ Uwir
ng

all odds the ablest and most influential
organ of the Democracy, can be summarily

only because they could not ;et offices
enough in tho llopiibltcan party, then, in
deed. the Democrat aro in a bad. way. It
is hard for them to be compelled to oarrv
Frank as a candidate, bnt to be ruled by
the Blair family iiimd bo “itifi-lorable and
not to be endured.” .
Gen. Grant for Frei: Srepcm—At a
Republican inerting in New York, Wed
nesday night, Hon. Mr. Brewsteu, of Penn
sylvania,said that Grant recently addressed
a friend in these words; “This niuchl wish,
and 1 declare this j,> be my policy, that
such a degree ol peace aud tranquility shall
exist iu this country that a man mav speak
hie mind in any part of our great land, and
that without molestation or hindrance.”

I am sometimes gloomy anil despondent,
and never more so than now. To me the
skies is dark; to me the clouds is lowerin,
and the prospex gloomy. First, the crops is
tuiin us. Wat we wantid to make ai. nsltoo
ruucH doubly shoor wuz a jolly fuilyoor nv
crops, lied the wheat failed in Ohio, Inji
anny and lllinoy—hed iher potatoes roti 1
in ther fields, and the corn come to naught,
we rood bev tarried them States easy. For
its the iiacher uv >neu to charge un every
thing from a thievin postmaster to the fail
yoor uv corn—the first the most triflin, and
the latter (in view uv its effeck on the price
uv likker), the most stupenjus evils wich ki i
affeck mankind—they charge everything uv
this kind up to tho account of the party in
power, and they vote ngin cm. When mis
forchoon waves her red flag in ,thcr faces,
they charge agin it like a bull, never tliinkia
uv the drawd steel wich is behind to receive
cm. My official existence is drawd steal.
But Providence is agin ut now, ez in tlw
past. Providence hex a most aggravatin
knack uv comin in jest at the proper time
fur the liepublikin party. Here wuz a
preslinre in money matters, in consequence
of short crops for years—we stept in and
offered and offered a euro in the shape uv
a unlimited islioo uv greenbax, but alas!
jc«t ez the dose wuz being swallered the
crops interfered, givin everybody all the
greenbax they wanted, and tnakin it to the
interest uv everybody not to her any more
afloat for fear it twood depreshate them
wich they hed, and at one stroke this plank
wuz knoct out from under us.
It is my opinion that we’d better drop our
finanshcl policy. At all events wo had
better let the Pendleton ijec die out in the
West and substitute Seymour's for it iu lhat
soeshun. It don’t make much difference
wat we do in the East ez ther ain’t none
uv us ther anyhow, wich is forchnit ez it
mile complicate matters. It’s my opinyun
that Pcudleton isn’t much uv a statesman
anyhow.
Anoth-r thing that's working agin us is
Bnirc. His rednis uv lace and cheerful
conviviality docs much for us in Kentucky
wher we don’t want help, hut good Hevins
how it tel)-; agin us io the elote States wher
He do need help, liis Brodhcd letter soots
us in Kentucky; but in Noo Y'urk .wher
our people hov business and want peecc it
hex made them skoery.
It is my opinion that well better drop
Blare.
Ez to reconsirtickshci), that isn’t jest ez
good a kcerd ez we thought it wood be.
Wat’s the use uv howlin that the Radikels
don't want a restoration uv the States, whi n
they’ve admitted ail uv ’em but two or three ?
Wat’s the yoose uv whistliu in the free uv
sich a north wind?
It js my opinion that we’d better drop
reconstrucsken.
The extravagance of the Radikels wuz a
keerd wich I hed hopes uv, but it didn’t
amount to nothing. Somehow the people
wood ask ns wich uv our lea lets we proposed
to pul in the places uv the Ablishnist, and
when w-e answered Vallandigham, Fernandy
Wood and bis brother, Dau Voorhees and
Jesse D. Brilo, they’d lass derisively, and
say, “Lord save ns, et these hungry and
thirsty theeves get their jaws into the Nash
nei carkis. We’d ‘ruther keep them wich
we hey.”
Il’s my opinion we’d better drop extrava-
Taxes In d a jooey look, but good Lu. 3,
t.tte peopte answered tis, saying', “Ei tho
debt is to be paid, won’t we hev to be taxed
to pay it ? I’t paying the taxes that hurts—
not the politics uv the party wich taxes us
tind ez our people don't pay taxes as a rule,
they don’t thrill much over taxes.
It’s my opinion that we’d better drop
taxes.
“Ekal tajfashun" wuz ruther hefty at the
b?itiniiii)., till the poor men and larmcrs dis
kivered that they were ptiyin searsely nothin
on their houses, wagons and cows, while the
rich cusses wuz carrying the load. Ex soon
ez they made this diskivery, they concloodid
they didn’t want ekal taxashun so much, and
they turned agin ns.
Its my opmiolt we had better drop ek 1
laxashuti.
It’puil.ashuu looked well enuff, but that
' wan’t no go. We started out with it, but
: aims, a e found most everybody bed bonds,
t and everybody hed grtmnbax. 'I he bond
. holders woodenf consent to repoodiatin the
* bonds, and the greenbax holders sed: “Et
„ we commence at bonds why shood we not
s come to greenbnx And so that split.
J Its my opinion we had better drop repu
diashun.
® “But.' says one Dimocrat, “Et we drop
e all these, what will we hev h it?’’
4 My ingenuous friend, we hev all left that.
“ we ever hed. We hev the nigger, and from
e him we never ought to hev departid. Tim
f iniqnit v.c let go ov him, that ntiunit we Ipst
strength- On all these questions there tnav
i be some difference uv opinion—on nigger
I there can be none- The Dimocrisy are
grounded in this. He is their Alpha and
( Omega, their beginnin and end. We don’t
. none uv us want to marry niggers—no mat
ter how near we may come to it —wc don’t
1 none uv us want to sleep with cm, eat with
. etn, vote with era, or drink with cns (unless
I' they pay for the iikker), and we wont. So
long er. we hev the nigger wo hev a rallyin
pint.
1 therefore, that we drop all these
, other complicatin ishoos, which are too
, hefty for us anyhow, and lull back, forthe
November eleckshen, on the nigger—one
and indivisable. Es we can’t win on him
we can’t win on anything, and may cz. well
throw up the sponge. When the Democratic
heart won’t thrill at nigger, our cox is lost
indeed. Kentucky kin send 20(1 to the
North cz Friteful Examples, es they arc
needed, for we hev jest about that number
in this visinity that we hev hed in trainin
for a veer, and hev got em dgwu to oar level.
They are pizenin thcrselves reglcrly, and
hang about Ihe groseries jest cz we do,
wich, in a nigger, is too awful to be endoor-
- ed. Whether wc yoose them or not, the
nigger is our only holt, and on him wo must
cheerily depend.

The Alabama Claims.—A cable dispatch
from London says it is reported that the
international differences pending between
the United States and England, relative to
the Alabama depredations, will be referred
to the Emperor of Russia for arbitrament.
The statement is confirmed by a message
received by the United States government ■
from Minister Johnson, but instead of the
question being referred to the Emperor of
Russia for arbitrament, it was referred to tlw’
King of Prussia.
Election Returns.—We have complete
official majorities from Pennsylvania, foot
ing up a Republican majority of 10,020.
Many of the figures art from the official re
cords. It is absolutely impossible to tell
whether the majority will go over or under
10,000. We do not believe it will vary 20 |

The Artificial Woman.—The latest
process for making women “ beautiful
forever” is that invented by Madame Mani
quet, of Paris. Au ointment, the secret of
which is known only to the inventor, is
spread upon a stiff linen, which is applied
all over the face, and takes the shape,
forming a mask adjusted to the feature.
This mask remains on until the ekin rises
in thick plistules. It is then withdrawn
and a certain salve rubbed over tho face,
when the patient must remain entirely
motionless, not being permitted to speak,
laugh or cry during the formation of the
new skin, which operation generally takes
about a week to accomplish. This new
skin is soft and tender as that of an infant,
delicate in the extreme, and must be main
tained by the daily use of the softening
compound manufactured by Madame Mani
quet. Tho first sensation on taking off
the mask is one of horror. The visage is
swollen ana tnnified exactly as if subjected
to severe scald or burn. Many of the
patients swoon at the first sight of their
own def rinity, as reflected in the long
triimeau looking-glasses which adorn the
apartment. But Madame Maniquet points
to her own blooming visage, ami hope re
places alar®, As a matter of course, this
