He sa7s McCkilan is the sooihinist man to the Southern people which ever wore bloo. Bjt he won't answer. In the first pl;ice there isn't lime between this and the next election for Lim to make up his mind whether he will nc cept the nomination or not; and second ly, ef h snoulJ decide in tine, he lacks prestige. He has been defeetd wunst, hes George, and it won't Go to take up with a wh pt rooster. Evident ly he is cut of the ri: jj. He say;: Next on ti.e enrpet is Pendleton: Geo. E. Pendleton, I say, unhesitating ly won't da. He won't anser. There is too great a distance between himand the masses uv his party. He uses goo language and wears clean shirt cellars nnd no sich ma.i can have the confidence and esteem uv the Democ- ri.y uv the trooly Democrat. c States These things you may nv-T. are un-con-iheqtienrhel, but I deny it. They aro uv vital importance. There is a nateral inffiinity between Democracy and dirty collnrs. Didn't never observe when Pendleton addressed ihe freed- j men of Iijmany; ho-v cold and stun line was the anjience ez his finished periods fell upon their ear;? Didst ever hear Henry Clay D?an. whose s-hirts are worn three conecutive months; and whose stockins ar never changed? Didst never noiis how he lifted 'em? It ain't that there is enny ditTerrence in what the j' say its in the shirt cel lar, liesides i'euulet&u hez none u the qualiiicfs neces-ary to successful to successful candidacy. He was barn tollable weli oil", and hadn't nary a struggle in his youth. lie didn't drive oa a canal and study Algebra oa the back uv a kickin? mu'e; and gii knock ed ofF by a profane cap'ain for neglect ing his duty He wa-nt bora la a log cabin in ihe lack wood.?, neither did he stuiiy grarnmer by t!ie light of a pine knot which he held in one hand and the I ook in the ether. IIm didn't learn shomakir.g in his bojhood daz-?, when the o'eth cf his father, wit h whs lament ed by ail who k nw him. drove the family into limbic poverty; neither did he, while upon the sho bench, feel with in him the cravings of notile ambi&hen and risin, rush with his apron on to a law oflis and demand to be receeved ez a studen. Nua of these. lie wjz born of re.-p;'.able pareuce. who put him throo college, and started him in life ez comfortable ez ever a young man win started in the world. It is plane lo me that Pendleton wou'i do The great opustle of Democracy endeih his Setter ie the following "pa treotik'' langunj: ' ' Wich, then, sbel wo hv for our Prcsideut? . . There iz one man whom the minds uv the Dimocrisy all center. I allood need I, who write P. M. af ten my name, say to A. Johnson, lie is our reck, and our cheefest trust, and'ia him only hev we refuge. It see s Clear to me that h? hez all t'e Pjl'ities for a successful candidacy. He wuz born uv poor parence in a pocr year and a very poor State. His father died when he was so youug that he didn't remember him for suthin like fifty years after, and he wuz left a poor orfhun tu make bis way alone in the world. He referred to this interest ing fact in his inaugaural sheech on the -4th. uv March IS60. He maid uv himself a tailor, and uctooally worked on the board for a liviu nnd read histo ry while working industrially at his trade. For the benefit of the people I wood state a faci that may not be gen erally known, that'L'e, from this honor able beginning, hez swung around the entire circle uv ollishel honor, h.oUin at different limes very effis in the gift of the people from alderman of hi native village up to Presidensy. Ef I remem ber he iticedently referred to these facts in a sheech he made wunst. There are other reasons for givin hiin the bomirmhen, uv wich these are the most prominent: 1. Ef h3 isn't nominated -and electid Seward, Weed, Raymond Randall, and Secretary Welles' will to wunst go back to the Republican party. " " 2. He hez . the fTecshuns of nearly every offisholder in.Yoonued the States and wat a fight they would make U re tane their posishuns. 3. His democrisy is entirely satisfac tory to me. He temporarily abbera ted, but when he returned was fiercer than ever. He clambered a long way up the moun'ain of Aboli.-hun, it is troo but wh?n he fell, he only unk deeper into the mire of Democrisy. We need never feer to trust sich a man as him. 4. He hez a incurable hatred of the AbalUhinist. When they wrodent receeve him rorjelly on his various toors he swore eternal hosiili'y to 'em. Hence we Lin depend upon his bein troo to us. o. Ez a further garantee uv faith ful? is, I may say that I hev it hum the best uv authority that he takes only whiskey trate; hevin eivin over all them demoralizin fancy beverages which 6edoosed him while he wuz in the bonds of enikety and and the gall uv b't'.erness. There are also other reasons, but these are srfficient. Let us put onto the ticket Henry Clay Dean, and the arragnements are complete. We hev then the north and the south represent ed, and the inteiiectooal wings uv the Democrisy love Dean. T.z he stands before the aujience in all his greaci ness, I feel that there is suthin in him which we must admire. I tlsse this article with suggesting the follerin ticket: For President, ANDROO JOHNSON. (The pride uv the Postmaster;) For Vice Pre.-ident, HENRY CLAY DEAN. Respectfully. Kentucky Postmaster. I shall sirn it thus so that St case any other man saccec-Js, the authorship kin be denied. Petr lcm V. Nasdy, P. M. (Wich is Postmaster.) . The Wages cf La nou. The Phil idelphia Lcdser contains the following The Revenue Comisjioncr'a repDrt last year stated that men employed n the glass work and steel factories in Pitt.-?urg have averaged eight dollars a day wages. This statement startles a Boston prper, which ask?: Are rot the tariff's too high when they give to the day laborer wages a large as the salaries of Governors and members of Congress, Rnd more than the graduates of our colleges can obtain in any pro fession for years?" If pay depends on useful work, we think that the man who earns his money by hird labor de serves quite as much as either Gorer n:rs Congressmen or college graduates. A grer t trouble in this country is iha' too many people try to live without work and that whilst professions and stores are overstocked, and there are about twenty times as many politicians as there is any necessity for, the useful trades are neglected by young men choosing callings in life. gysA horrid sportsman ii thus de scribed by M. Jules Rickard, in the Paris Figaro: An Englishman follows the Garibal dia forces: He is armed with a rifle of exces-ively long range; and made expressly for long shots; to this weap on is fitted a small telescope, and a re flecting mirror permits our Englishman t3 sweep the conutry to a distance of one thousand eight hundred yards. Comfortably in-tailed oa a height, out of reach of the enemy's shots he picks off" his men in his artistic manner, just as a sportsman shoots down larks. This sanguary eccentric keeps a sport ing book, in which he jots down the exact circumstances of every homiciGe which he commits. He has no politi cal opinion; he is a simple slayer of men; but, as no regular army would permit such "sportiag,". he attaches himself to the irregilar Garribaldiau bands. " ' , Internal Revenue. Dci.-ioai. -The Cominisioner of Internal Revenue has made-the. following decision:. The position of treasurer in the or ganization of ihe Odd Fellows or Free Masons, or in any othir similar organ ization, is not . an effice within the meaning of the statue, and bonds giv en by the person holding such positions are therefore not sulject to a dollar stamp each-as bonds "for the due exe cution or performance of the duties,' tut to a twenty-five ceat stamp only as bonds 'not - otherwise - charged" in schedule. THE XODLE RCTE.C. The coffin was a plain one a poor, r.ii?eiable pine coffin. No flowers on its top, lio lining of the rosewhite satin for the pale brow; no smooth ribbons about the coarse shrou.l. The brown hair was laid decently back; but there was the crimped cap, with its neat tie beneath the chin. The sufferer from cruel poverty smiled in her sleep; she had found bread, rest and health. 'T want to see my mother," sobbed poor child as the city undertaker screw ed kown the top. You caa't, get out of the way, boy; why don'i some one take the brat?' Only let me see her one minute," cried the hopeless, helpless orph in, as he clutched the side of the charity box, and gazed into the rough face. An- guished tears streamed rapidly dewn the cheek, cn which no childish bloom ever lingered. It was pitiful to hear him cry: ' Only once, let me see my mother, only once." Quickly and brutally, the hard i ., i . , uearieu monster strucK tne ooy away, so that he reeled from the blow. For a moment the boy stood panting with trnei iu;u rnge, uis mue eyes uistenueu, "C I - , bis lips sprang apart, a fire glittered I l Tf it 1 rrri "a tnr n a r r a i hii nnmr " o - ". ....ow '"i.jr arm. and with a most unchiidish accent, he screamed: "When I am a man, I will kill you for that." eanh b itweeu the mother and the poor forsaken child a monument much stronger than granite, built in his boy- heart to the niemoryof the heart'ess deed. TheCcurt Il.use was crowded to suffocation. Do?s any one appear as this man s counseif asked ihe Judge. i Therfi wa silnro Kon h Bnfcboit until, with lips tightly pressed together, a look of strange intelligence blended with haughty reserve upon his hand- some feature?, a young man stepped forward with a firm tread and kindly eye to plead for the t rriog and friend less. He was a stranger, buifrom his first sentence there was silence. The splendor of his genius entranced con- vinced. The mm who could not find a friend was acquainted. "May God reward yoi, sir, I enn- not. "I want no thanks," replied the stranger, with icy coldness. "I I believe you are unknown to me. "Man! I will refresh your memory. Twenty years ago you struck a poor braken hearted boy away from his mother's coffin. I was that boy." The man turned livid. Have you rescued me then to take my life ?" No, I have a sweeter revenge; I lave saved the life of a man wliose brutal deed has ra.kled in my breast tor twenty years. o : anu rememoer the tears of a friendless child." and went out from the presence of a magnanimity as grand to him as incom- rrenenihle and the nob e vounf law. uiciiciiJiuit;, nuu me ti')uie j uun iav - i ... . . . . . yer felt Uotl s smile in his lace forever - I after, T"Tbe newspapers of a town are its live blood.

Ex-President Buchanan,' who is very feeble at bis home in Lancaster, Pa. is (not expected to live through the winter. the n Aci:s The following is a synopsis of the bill prepared by the Senate Finance Committee for funding the national debt: The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue registered coupon bonds as he shall prescribe, payable, principal and interest, in coin, bearing interest at five per cent.; to be payable forty years from date; redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the Government after ten years; to be issued to an amount sufficient to cover all the out- standing existing obligations of the United States; to be disposed of on such terms, not less than par, as the Secretary may deem best. Said bonds to be exclusively used in taking up the existing securities of the United States.

Section third substitutes for a sink- ing fund, as provided bylaws now in force, a plan of appropriating yearly from the monies not otherwise appro J nnated in ihe treasury a sum which ' includes the amount Decessary for the payment of interest and maturing debt, and one half the reserved tax as afore- said, which sum, during each fiscal vear. after the current fiscal vear. shall h anrlied to the reduction of tl public debt in such manner as may be determined on by the Secretary of the ireasury, or as Congress may hereai- ter direct. The bill further provides that 5-20 Bonds shall, at lhe expiration of five years from date, at the option of the holders tnereof, be change for Bonds authorized by this act; such as are now redeemaue shall be presented for ex change on or before the first cf Nov. uext, and not thereafter. The residue to be presented ca or betore the expi- ration of five years from their date. . Section five provides that holders of any lawful money of the United States to the amount of one hundred dollars, may convert the same into a bond for an equal amount; the notes eo reserved to b) held iu'tlie Treasury as" part of a reserve already provided for, and the holder of any 6-20 bond, or bonds con- templated by this act may demand their redemption in law.'ul money, and the Treasury shall redeem the same in lawful money unless the amount of Uni- 'ed States notes then outstanding shall equal four hundred millions, but such -.. resumption ot specie payments, and the Secretary of the Treasury is order- ed to carry out the foregoing provision, and is requested to maintain in the . e . i . i i iteasuiy a reservo ut uot tesa iuuu i j J" -n nnn ttr - r I c.i .-i.l v.wu.uuu oj. i twiut money, simuiir in all respects to United States notes authorized by law; provided the same do not at any time exceed four hun- dred millions.
