The Crops.—As much interest is felt
throughout the country in regard to the
prospects of the cotton and other crops wc
will be grateful to our planting friends,
and others in the interior, for information
on the subject. Our factors and others
who have opportunities for obtaining
valuable information in regard to the
growing crops, and anything of interest
in relation thereto, will confer a
favor by communicating the same to us. 3.
Fink Peaches. —Our friend Berkm an
of the Fruidand Farm near this city, has
presented to us four; fine ripe Peaches of
the early Ilale variety. These are the first
that we have seen, though Mr. B. informs
us that he had them ripe on the 10th.
The Chops. —We fear that the corn
crop in many sections of this Stale has
been seriously injured by the recent
drought, accounts of which have reached
us from several quarters. Unless the
rain comes speedily even the late crops
will be ruined. This is an unpleasam
prospect, but we must still hope the injury
is not as bad as reported,

and which was not, in our judgment,

Taxing National Bonds.
Mr. 11 liman, of Indiana, a few days
since introduced into Congress the follow
ing restin'i in. in relation to the taxation
of United States bond :
j/ e .y /veil, That in the judgment of the
Homo the no nds and other >cvurithw is
sued by the Uuited States, and which are
exempt by law from Stale snd municipal
taxation, ought to be taxed for national
purposes in amount substantially equal
to the average tax imposed in the several
States for local purposes, in such manner
as may substaigially equalize the taxation;
Hu' tax to be deducted from coupons as
they ni.iv become duo, and that the Com -
Indus- oi Ways and Means Is* instrtu'ted
to rep. rt a" bill for the purpose above
specitied.
The proposition was violently opposed
by the Radical majority, and it was referred
to the Committee on \\ ays and Means, to
which every subject relating to the in
terest of the tax-payers is referred, never
to be heard of agaiu. The New York
Tribune, in commending this course, says :
“The Haase has done well to pat the
quilt a* on this proposition.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, one of the
ablest of our Western Democratic papers,
very properly remarks:
“The farmer, mechanic, or laboring man,
who lias his neighbor's note at six per
.•••lit. interest, pa\able iit <• reenbacks, is
obliged to return the amount to the As
sessor, and pay from two to (wo and a half
tier cent taxes upon ft ; but the bond
holder who receives the interestou his
mitts in gold, is exempt. That is the
adical doctrine.”

Southern Editor Assassinated by
Scalawags.—The Mobile Register con
tains the following account of a most foul
and cowardly assassination :
“By a gentleman just l'roni Butler we
learn that on Tuesday last our friend, N.
li. Thomas, editor of tho Choctaw Herald,
was murdered in a most cowardly man
ner, by Joshua Morse, tho Attorney Gene
ral elect of tho scalawag oligarchy which
the so-calloil Congress at Washington has
just voted to recognize as the lawful gov
ernment of Alabama. He was assisted by
one Wm. Gilmore, a less eminent member
of that gang of renegade white men. but
well enough known.
“Mr. Thomas has not been backward in
expressing his opinion of these creatures,
and it seems that they took the occasion of
the absence of most of his friends on a
fishing excursion, or something of the sort,
to visit him at his oilice and provoke a
difficulty. Gilmore made the commence
ment and brought oil an altercation, which
resulted in Thomas firing a pistol at him.
Morse, who had kept in the background,
appeared by this time to have provided
himself with a double-barrel gun, with
which he fired twice upon Thomas, lodg
ing thirty-eight buckshot in his body,
causing bis de-Hi within half an hour.
Botli tiic assassins immediately lied, and
j it is understood that they tiave made their
| way to Atlanta, to shelter themselves
j under the protection of Gen. Meade from
tho vengeance of the people of Butler,
I among whom and thr iughout the neigh
! borhood, where Mr. Thomas being highly
and deservedly esteemed, there is much
excitement,”
[FOR THE CHRONICLE it SENTINEL.]
I’liancelly vs. Bally & Cleveland.
Dear Chronicle & Sentinel:
Your able and spirited article on the
late decision of the Supreme Court in the
above case, has attracted much atteution,
and been read with uncommon interest.
There are few honest, intelligent, and im
partial men who will either deny the
facts stated or the inferences drawn from
them. That the Confederacy had a Gov
ernment de facto eau never be questioned;
that she had more thousands whose learn
ing cannot be doubted, I firmly believe.
That her citizens owed her allegiance, and
were amenable to her laws must be ad •
milted. This would have been true had
her Government been an usurpation. Sir
Mathew llale, in 1 Hal. P. C. 60, declares
that a subject may be guilty of treason to
an usurper, and punished with death.
And I am sure your historic memory will
recall the eases of high treason against
Henry VI, of Lancaster, which were tried
and capitally punished alter Edw. I\ , of
York, recovered the crown, although
Henry had, by Parliament, been declared
an usurper. If this doctrine be true, as it
undoubtedly is, might not a faithless citi
zen who was guilty of treason to the Con
federacy during the reign of her power,
be now legally tried, convicted and pun
ished for his crime. If, then, a citizen jras
not only bound by his allegiance, but might
be lawfully compelled to enter the military
service of his country, how can the con
clusions Ixi escaped that he is equally
bound by any contract made in accordance
with her laws, which kept him out of it.
But this decision is predicated upon the
false and base assumption that the citizens
of the Confederacy were guilty of treason.
Treasou to whom or to what ? To a Gov
ernment that had neither power not au
thority to protect them ? Are not alle
giance and protection correlative? Can
we or should we owe allegiance to that
which has no power to protect ? There
beiug none in this instance could we or did
we owe allegiance ? O* ing,'tlieu, no alle
giance, was it possible to be guilty of trea
son ? For two hundred years, even in Eng
land. it has been settled law that to the
sovereign power in the State— whether that
power be right or wrong —the allegiance of
* the subject, during the period of its reign,
is due. This doctrine was settled almost
immediately after the restoration of Ch. 2,
and has never since, until within these lat
ter years, and under this benign Govern
ment. been questioned. It has been re
served for this age ot unexampled corrup
tion, of fashionable perjury aud political
upstarts, to revive the odious and ex
f ploded notions that once a subii :t always a

Bishop Beckwith and Rev. Mr. Evans
The sermon of the Rev. J. E. Evans, in
the Chronicle of the 14th instant, is a re
markable instance of the difficulty which
even wise or thoughtful men find in under
standing those from whom they differ in
matters of opinion. Its avowed object is
to answer the proposition of Bishop Beck
with for all other denominations of
Christians to join the Episcopal Church;
in other words, to answer a proposal
which Bishop Beckwith did not make
anywhere in the discourse which has led to
this very strange response. As Bishop
Beckwith is now out of reach, so that his
sermon cannot be produced for publication,
I ask leave to give my own impression ol
its purport. I speak with some confi
dence in this matter, because 1 happen to
know something of the Bishop’s inten
tions in preaching the sermon, and am not
left to depend upon mere eonjecture.
His text wasL Cor. — XVI. 13: "Watch
ye ; stand fast in the faith, quit you like
men, be strong.” He spoke of the
difficulty of deciding matters of con
troversy without some court of final
appeal, whose decisions all were
prepared to accept. He instanced
the well known facts, that men claiming to
be, And entitled to be thought, equally
honest and equally in earnest for the truth,
and equally alive to the glory of God, with
the same Holy Scriptures in their hands,
differed very widely upon the requirements
of the religion of Christ. For example,some
reject all forms and sacraments —some in
clude only a certain number of mankind in
the benefits of the atonement —some ex
clude the largest portion of the human race,
(the children) from the privileges of bap
tism—some assert that Christ did not insti
tute a ministry, whose authority has to be
transmitted through an unbroken succes
sion of individuals unto the end of the
world—some refuse to believe in a final
judgment, and some finally deny that
Christ is God. Assuming these facts to be
evident unto all men and these differences
such that the holders of them cannot be
regarded as equally correct, and orthodox
in their interpretation of the scriptures,
and assuming each class to have the same
right to think for itself, the question arises
who shall fix the terms upon which they
may be reconciled._
Such reconciliation is necessary, to ac- j
complish the purpose of our Lord in His
prayer for unity, of which Mr. Evans,
quotes a fragment, overlooking the more
important passage in, John, XVII, 21,
that they all may he one ; as Thou, Father,
Art in Me, and lin the Thee, that they !
may Leone in us, “(and this too,an oneness j
cognizable by men, and so outward and j
visible)” '"that the world may believe that J
Thou has sent Me. ” Christ Jesus, our
adorable Saviour, did, on the night before
His death, contemplate, and pray for,
and base His claims to recognition, as sent
from God to save sinners, upon the visible
unity which should exist among His true
disciples. And St. Raul fully confirms this
statement in his appeals for unity and
warnings against Heresies and Schisms.
The substantial unity of the Church
militant upon earth, its individual mem
bers, being at the same time united in
loving fellowship with the Father and the
Son, through the indwelling presence of
God the Holy Ghost is offered by Christ
Himself to the world as the best evidence
that Ho is what he claimed to be, and
what all “His true Disciples have ever
believed him to be. He Himself, with
infinite foreknowledge of the divisions
and offences to arise in after times, of
tares to be sown among the wheat, of bad
as well as good fish to be gathered within
the net, of wise as well as foolish virgins,
to await the bridegroom’s coming, did
not hesitate to base His appeal to the
homage and love of the whole human
race upon the known and felt unity of
faith and fellowship, which should dis
tinguish Christian men from those not
Christian in every age of the world. To
this unity outward, as well as inward,
which seems now “impracticable,” and to
some men undesirable, and uuscriptural.
He looked, as His most effective ma
terial instrument to convert, and save and
sanctify the sons of men who were every
where perishing in ignorance and sin.
"'That the world may believe that thtiu
hast sent me."
And when a Christian Bishop, in the
full vigor of manhood, with a zeal for the
Lord, and a love for the souls that
Lord died to save, worthy of an Apostle,
with his heart well nigh appalled at the
responsible charge lately imposed
upon himself by a most singular
providence, knowing, too, that the conten
tions of Christian men, and their differ
ences and disputes are among the worst j
liinderances a minister of Christ must en
counter in his work, desires to do his part _
towards the resto.ation of the unity so long ’
lost, and to that end proposes to go back
with his Christian friends, of every name
and persuasion to the primitive ages, bo
fore the world bad corrupted the taith and
spoiled the temper of the followers of
Christ, and appeal for the settlement of
their conflicting beliefs and practices to the
polity and creed and worship of the
Church, as it then existed, one and un
divided, before the body of Christ had
been torn into fragments by the craft and
malice of the great enemy of soujs. How
is he understood ? How are his efforts
met by an able, experienced, well-known
minister of the largest society of Christian
people in the State of Georgia? When
this Christian Bishop,, who has come
among us in the spirit of St. Paul, asking
Lord, what wilt thou have me to do ; of
fers to submit the points wherein he
differs from other branches of the Church
and other religious societies to a com
mon tribunal, to which none can con
sistently object, how is iiis proposition
understood ? In a narrow sectarian
spirit, as if he bad no higher aim than to
bring the Christian men, women and
children of Georgia under the yoke of
•John W. Beckwith’s spiritual tyranny
and enable him to lord it over a larger
portion or God’s heritage than he is likely
to do, when followed only by some twenty
two Episcopal ministers and as many hun
dred Episcopal communicants. And how
is this frank proposition—this effort to
find 4 common ground where all who look
to Christ for salvation can “take sweet
counsel together and walk in the house
of God as friends, met and answered.” I
blush for Mr. Evans as I reply, by raking
up everything unpleasant in the history of
the Episcopal Church, every charge which
can be made against that body, whether he
really believes it true or not, every trouble
and annoyance and infirmity which is sup
posed to vex its harmony and mar its
beauty, and rudely flinging them all back
into the Bishop’s face.
1 must say, in conclusion, for the infor
mation of t hose not posted in religious con
troversy, that the attacks of Mr. Evans
upon the Episcopal Church, are not likely
to disturb our composure or iessen our love
for him, and the people whom he repre
sents. Ho undoubtedly means well,
but has at once misunderstood the man
whom he opposes, chosen badly in the
means employed. Ali that he has said
against the Episcopal Church on this oc
casion has been said before, but the Church
still survives. She expects to meet such
trials, and can only hope and pray that
they may teach her members meekness,
gentleness, and forbearance; learn them
to be watchful against every act which can
offend those who do not understand her
peculiarities, and to remember Him who,
when He was reviled, reviled not again ;
“when He suffered lie threatened not.’
And I further trust that she may have the
grace, remembering the promise, “Blessed
are the peace makers,” to do her part
toward restoring the lost union of Chris
tendom and hastening the coming of
the Kingdom of Christ, by frankly and
honorably standing ever prepared to meet
all who profess and call themselves
Christians, upon the faith and polity, the
worship and discipline of the first Christian
centuries, before darkness covered the
Church and gross darkness the people.
ONE WHO PRAYS FOR THE
PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
The Democracy and the Two-Thirds j
Rule.— lt is probable that the two-thirds
rule will be abandoned in the Democratic j
Convention, and that the candidate re
ceiving the highest number of votes will
be declared the nominee of the party.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette states that at a Demo- I
eratie gathering in that city this two
thirds rule was discussed :
It was contended that whatever consid
! eratious in by-gone days might have been
urged in its favor, time had demonstrate and
that its observance had rather distracted
than cemented the party. The inevitable
tendency of its adoption now would be
merely to defeat the will of the majority.
A third of the members of the Conven
tion—belonging t o the odds and ends of
persona] cliques under its operation—have
the power either to force an objectionable
candidate upon the party or to disrupt the
organization. Its inauguration in 1844
laid the foundation of the schism between
the Northern and Southern wings of the
Demoerotie party, and finally in 1860 led
not only to the disruption of the only Na
tional party then existing; but, as a neces
sary consequence, to sectional warfare.
There cannot at this day be a single sound
reasou advanced in favor of its contin
uance, and, in the opinion of wise heads,
it should be formally abandoned, as soon
as the 4th ot July Convention assembles,
i Asa substitute it was thought at the
gathering referred to a rule preliminarily
pledging every member to abide by and
support the choice of a majority might
1 answer all profitable purposes.
[STfiOAL CjMItTiiSTDBCK Off III* CBkOVICL* & SOTIXIL.]
New York, June 18th, 1868.
Dear Chronicle: —There is a great
j effort being made to make the public be
lieve that there is a bitter feeling among
the advocates of different candidates in
; the approaching Presidential Convention.
But nothing of the kind exists if those now
here express themselves hooestiy. There
is a firm confidence combined with much en
] thasiasm.that the action of the party will be
| harmonious, and that the nominee of the
party will be cordially supported and trium
phantly elected. The feeling which pre
vails is but indicated by the expression ut
tered by an ardent and energetie supporter
of Chase, made in asocial caucus last even
ing. ‘Let us win this fight (said he), per
sona! considerations must be sunk.’ Mr.
Chase’s friends witl support Pendleton or
any one else, if the nominee. The people
hke General Grant personally, but he is
the representative of war aud will not sup
i port him. The nominee of the Democratic
; party must be a civilian, must represent
| peace. This is the first consideration,
Mr. Chase represents this feeling,
both _by his official position a,nd
by his course during the impeachment
trial, and his opinion as recently given to
the public. A Southwestern Democrat
suggested that while bis section would
support the nominee heartily, it was a mat
ter of grave doubt whether jt would be
good policy to remove Mr..Chase from the
Supreme Court under the probable dis
position of the Senate.” Western men
exhibited very marked consciousness of
power, and made strong demonstration of
their intention to use it as demanded by
Western sentiment. It was frankly avow
ed that the W est would hereafter control
not only the policy of the Government,
but the terms of the Union. The West
preferred that Judge Chase should hold
his present position.
It is very apparent that the great West
expects and desires that the Chief Officer
of the Government shall he taken from,
their section. It is highly probable, in
deed almost certain that the next admin
istration will see a Western man President,
a Western man Chief Justice, and a West
ern man Commander in Chief of the Army;
thus’all the high offices with the control i
of all other offices will be in the hands of
the West. Our people must begin to look
more to the West, and less to the North
and East. The power of the West so long
foreseen and sooften predicted has become a
living reality and will inaugurate revolu
tions in trade, commerce and Government.
This fact is giving great uneasiness to the
Middle and Eastern States, and is the subject
most frequently discussed by leading men
in private, whether Republicans, Radicals
or Democrats. The extreme solicitude
for the extension of franchise to the negro,
by Wilson, Sumner & Cos., grows out of’
a desire to offset so far as possible, this
growing predominance of immense, over
whelming and immeasurable magnitude.
Hence under a supposed future identity of
interests, the necessary growth of inanu
manufactures in the South, and especially
in Georgia, will bring cordial alliance.
The desire is to bridge the present by ac
quiring power at the South, with but lit
tle hope or calculation of overcoming in
the whites, tho prejudice engendered by
past policy, they grasp at the transitory
iuflueneo which negro suffrage presents,
with the expectation that tlieir large ac
cumulated capital will enable them to ex
ert a coutroliing power with the colored
race, and give them power in the future.
The West, without distinction as to party
estimate properly and thoroughly this
Eastern policy, and speak very plainly
of the adroitness with which Eastern
interests endeavor to conceal this purpose.
They, therefore, oppose negro suffrage.
Their trade with the South is not what it
was before the war. The artificial trade
created by the demands of war has ceased.
They are now wholly dependant, upon the
East, arid grow restless under it. They
demand the restoration of good feeling and
kindly intercourse with the South, be
lieving that it will revive their trade and
make tlieir now languishing industrial
pursuits (for every branch of business, ex
cept that growing out of emigration, now
languishes there) and add millions of dol
lars to their decreasing revenues.
The friends of Mr. Pendleton continue
full of enthusiasm and speak confidently: of
his nomination being made after “compli
mentary votes” have been given, accord
ing to instructions. They count the votes
of nine States devoutly pledged, and of
six more, after the conditions above
stated have been fulfilled; and claim
fifteen States altogether as certain for
their candidate. There is decidedly more
enthusiasm for Pendleton than for any
other man now prominent. In the mean
while the two-thirds rule causes some
uneasiness, and the probable contingency
of the seventy votes of the ten excluded
Southern States becoming a balance of
power, makes it a matter of some
importance. Some, of the delegates
from the western part of your State
have by correspondence indicated their
preference for Chase over Pendleton. In
the meanwhile two new Seats’are being
proposed by skillful manipulators. One
for Andy Johnson as a Southern compro
mise candidate anduitimately for Hancock,
the other for William Tccumseh Sherman.
This last movement is said to have origina
ted with the friends of McClellan, only to
be put forward in the event that Pendle
ton fails to receive the requisite two
thirds. General Sherman it is claimed
will unite all parties, and be acceptable to
the people of the United States generally.
This very movement has had the tendency
to bring the friends of Chas-e and Pendle
ton closer together. It is correctly report
liere to-day that Mr. Chase himself has
authorized his friends here to say, tha> it
is of the highest importance, “absolutely
essential for the peace aud prosperity of
the country that the nominee should be a
civilian.”

The President’s Veto.
Washington, June 20, p. m. —In his
veto the President says that an approval
of this bill would be an admission that the
act for the more efficiently governing the
rebel States, and the acts supplementary
thereto were proper and constitutional.
Whereas the President’s opinion is not
only unchanged in this respect, but rather
strengthened by the results attending their
execution. If Arkansas is not a State,
this bill don’t admit, her. If she is a State,
no legislation is necessary to her repre
sentation in Congress. Each House is,
under the Constitution, the judges of the
election returns, and the qualifications of
its own members, and that nothing is
necessary to restore Arkansas, but tho de
cision by each House of the eligibility of
those presenting credentials. This is the
plain and simply plan of the Constitution,
had it been adopted in ’65 instead of
Legislation of doubtful constitutionality,
and, therefore, unwise and dangerous,
restoration would long since have been
accomplished.
The President again recommends the
adoption of the constitutional plan. The
terms proposed are scarcely applicable to a
Territory—certainly not to a State which
has occupied a place in the Union over a
quarter of a century.
The President is unable to find authority
for the conditions of the bill in the Federal
Constitution.
The elective franchise is reserved by the
Constitution to the States themselves. This
Bill fails to provide how Arkansas shall
signify her acceptance of the fundamental
conditions, nor does it prescribe penalties
for their ratification. It is seriously ques
tioned whether the Constitution has been
ratified according to the law assumed to be
in force before its adoption by the Arkansas
Constitution. Restricted franchise on its rat
ification by tests is unknown in the
Reconstruction acts —among them accept
ance of political and civil rights of all
men. It is well known that a large portion,
if not a large majority.of the electors don’t
accept this test, and if applied to voters
North, there is reason to believe that
many of them would remain away from
the polls rather than comply with its de
grading conditions.
The President concludes; “ Should
the people of Arkansas, therefore, desir
ing to regulate the elective franchise so as
to make it conform to the Constitutions of
a large proportion of the States of the
North and West, modify the provisions
referred to in the fundamental condition,
what is to be the consequence ? Is it in
tended that a denial of representation
shall follow? and if so, may we not dread,
at some future day, a recurrence of the
troubles which have so long agitated the
country? Would it not be the part of
wisdom to take for our guide the Federal
Constitution rather than resort to measures
which, looking only to the present, may, in
a lew years, renew, in an aggravated form,
the strife and bitterness caused by legisla
tion which has proved to be ill-timened
and unfortunate ?”

Crop? in Jefferson.

Editors Chronicle & Sentinel .- —The
wheat crop has been cut and threshed, and
the yield is far below an average. lu
some parts of the county it is not over half,
while the best will not go over two-thirds.
Corn is generally small and suffering for
rain. I have heard of some planters who
have not had a good season in sis weeks.
Cotton looks very well where fertili
zers have been used, on poor land it is
very small and the stand deficient. I
never before heard complaint made of the
cut wormsin cotton; some, I learn have had
to plow up and replant on account of it,
and a great deal of the replanted has been
cut down.

up on the subject of “white labor,” a meet

REVIEW OF TI E AFGUSTA MARKET,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 18, 1868,
[lt should be borne in mind that our
quotidians represent v \olesalepeaces. Small
lots, to Planters and others, are filled at a
shade higher rates .]
COTTON.—There has been a very de
cided improvement in this article since
last week. From a flat and declining con
dition it has come up to an active and ad
vancing market. This has been especial
ly the case in Liverpool, where, for the last
few days, the sales have been good for the
season and the prices improving, closing
at lljfd. for Uplands. Tlio New York
market has not been quite as active, but
prices have advanced to 31 cents aud hold
ers are very firm, seemingly determined
to force buyers up to their standard rather
than give way-. In the home market very
little has been done, but prices have im
proved. The fact is, there is so little on
hand that there is no disposition to be in a
hurry to dispose of it. Our people are
holding for higher figures. The following
shows the total sales, receipts, etc., of the
week:
Friday. —There was some aotivitv in
the market to-day, with a fair demand at
26c. for Middling, hut closed dull. Sales
156 bales. Receipts 8 hales.
Saturday. —Middling could have been
readily sold to-day at 2Sc, but on account
of the small offerings nothing was done.
The market continues dull. No sales.
Receipts 8 bales.
Morulay.— The market remains un
changed, Middling being quoted at 28
cents still. Salos 132 bales. Receipts 6
bales.
Tuesday.—Prices are firm at 2S cents for
Middling withvery little offering. Sales
to-day 54 bales. Receipts 26 bales.
Wednesday.— On account of the little that
is offered, nothing of consequence has been
done. Holders are stiff at 28 cents for
Middling. Sales IS bales. Receipts 6
bales.
Thursday.— Prices have been firm to-day
and one or two small sales were made at
281 cents for Middling, but holders this
afternoon wero asking 29 cents. Sales 31
bales. Receipts 0 bales.

Itlciics—A Beautiful Fable.
There is a German fable which says;
On a sultry, Lot summer day, an honest
old man was plowing his owa field, when
suddenly, under the siiade of an oak he
beheld a god-like figure approaching him.
The old man started back.
“ I am Solomon,” said the phantom, in
a confiding voice. “What art thou doing
here, old man ?”
“If thou art Solomon,” was the reply,
“ how canst thou ask me? When I was
a youth, thou didst send me to the ant. 1
saw its method of living, and it taught me
to be diligent, industrious and persever
ing, and gather the superfluous fora stormy
day. \Y hat I then learned, I still con
tinue to do.”
“ Thou hast studied thy lesson but half, ’ ’
replied the spirit, “go once more to the
ant and learn of it, also, how to find rest
and quiet in the winter of thy years, and
1 how to enjoy that which thou hast hoarded
! up.”
There is a world of wisdom in this fable,
and there is no lesson in human philoso
phy that should be more palpably impress
ed on the understanding. Riches are de
sirable, but their greatest use is to make
the decline of life happy, and he who,
after acquiring them, fails to enjoy them,
is certainly to be pitied. It is an imposi
tion on one’s self to toil in the summer’s
heat and winter’s cold to accumulate
f property and then bo too parsimonious to
enjoy it One of the greatest privileges,
one of the_ most glorious conditions that a
human being can enjoy, is to be happy—
to withdraw for a time from Mammon, to
look up to God and bo truly at peaoe wiik
himself and all mankind 'fhe ant toils
through tho spring time and summer, but
when the oold winds of autumn come,
when the snows of winter fall, it nestles
down in its warm chambers, live3 on what
it has accumulated ; and we have no doubt
eDjoys its short existence. What a striking
lesson, and how worthy to be followed by
mau.
The Chicago Post, usually pretty fair j
Radical authority, asserts that should Mr. ,
Chase fail to show the strength expected
of him in the Democratic Convention the
entire Pendleton force “will be transferred >
on the last ballot to David Davis, of Illi
nois, an old friend of President Lincoln j
and now a Justice of Supremo Court,
by Mr. LiueM’-’ appointment.” IV '
