The report s'ates that
Tor the first timeflnce theorfaolzationorour
association, we meet al ter bavins; mlTered a pur
tiul Lolitical doleiit. If this result were duo to
the purer principles or the wiser policy of our
opponents, we misfit then turn with shame fron
the consideration of our pretent position, re
fardtnfc the late elections as a popular rebuke
of dhhonety or weakness, Bnd look with did
may or with complete despair towards the pro.
bable future of the Union party. Such, however,
tint not been our history. We Lave stood faith
fully by the pledges which wo made, either iu
, fact or In spirit, riming those uncertain times of
conflict when we needed all the moral powerot
truth and Justice to pain tor our cause tho favor
of the God of littles. It la better to be iu the
right than in power.
We have never been a captious and wranglina
opposition. We have never scrambled for spoils
and for office, as thouph these wero the 'great
ends of polUic.il action, and with the attain
roent o( them our whole duty to the country
ceased. There have, doubtless, been self-eeek-in?
men within our ranks; but even they have
been obliged to follow the lichts by which we
were guided, or to lose the personal prizes for
'Which tbey struggled.
Our policy only has been attacked; but as
that, in all its details, so far as human intelli
gence might arrange them, rested upon those
principles, we might smile at the impotent
assault upon our outworks.
We may congratulate ourselves amid our re
verses that our teachings at last have reconciled
our opponents to a sta'.e of things which they
could nut change, have made them grateful to
the wai-worn heroes who brought it about, and
have induced them to respect a symbol that
represents more K'ory, past, present, and to
come, than any flag that has seen so few years
and co many victories. Perhaps "manhoid
suffrage" and the "national duty of securing a
whole race against re-enslavement" will shorJy
be rallying cries beyond our party lines.
It was perhaps natural, at the close of the
war, that theie should be some abatement of
the spirit that had heretofore impelled the
nation. Our people needed rest. So much time
had been given to public affairs that private
Interests had been neglected. The tra-iical death
of 1'resideut Lincoln, the speedy defection of
the Vice-President, the days of watchful distrust
"which followed, while the incipient traitor wa
divesting himself of his pledaes, and fitting hW
self to become the supple yet despised tool of
those who used him against ua those exciting
events once more stimulated our people to take
a general and actiVt interest iu public matters.
When, however, with increased majorities we
had established as overwhelminsieugth In
Congress, when the treacherous Executive had
made himself as despicable before the nation.as
he was8,powcrle93 before our representatives.
When the retributive lustice of a threatening
impeachment looked him in the face, and his
' efforts to change the settled order of things had
been wifely circumscribed by legal enactments,
once more the people tank into a repose that
gradually became culpable apathy. Our vigilant
opponents were too adroit to disturb the letuargy
by any demonstrations of their own. Their late
political campaign was conducted with a silence
and a privacy hitherto unknown to this turbulent
party.
Prejudices were therefore employed in the
place of arguments the prejudices of race. We
were told that "this is a white man's country,"
and we granted IU We were told that "this is
xot a black man's country," and we granted It.
We were then leeringly asked, ' What we were
talking about f" Certainly we were not talking
about either of those evident propositions, bo
far as just policy might go, we were providing a
race that had been our constant friend through
out our perils, when there was much danger
and nocertaiu reward in such friendship, with
the means of self-protection and self support.
Whether the black man shall have the ballot
In the North, or whether he shall have it in the
South, are two very different questions. In the
North the black man does not need the ballot
for his protection; In the South his very exist
ence depends upon it, or what should be even
dearer than lite, his freedom.
We have but to adhere to the priuclples with,
which we started honestly, candidly, inflexi
bly, fearlessly, without trimming to error or
fawning, on prejudiceto see those principles
triumph to the stability, the enlightenment, the
unity, the freedom, aid the international gran
t eur of orr native land.
Among the events of the year, the Interchange
of courtesies between the olheeisot the Loyal
League Club of New York and a Committee of
-our Board ol Directors deserves to be remem
bered. At the invitation of the loriner Club,
our Committee visited New York, for the pur
pose of devising such measures as would lead
to a harmonious co-operatiou among the various
Union Leagues existing in the chief cities of
the country. We were handsomely entertained
by the officers of the Loyal League Club of New
York, aad the result of the confeience was a
resolution to engage in an effort, which then
teemed of the most Dressing importance, to
organize the Republican party in the8tateof
Virginia.
Accordingly, a joint committee, appointed
from the Loyal League Club of New York, the
Reconstruction Committee of Boston, and the
Union League.of Philadelphia, visited hlcbmond
in the month of June, and were hospitably wel
comed by the Union men of Virginia. Whatever
discordant lusues may have since invaded tho
ltepublicuu ranks of the Stale, our mission iu
Jnne was a complete success.
The reception ziven to the members of the
League and their families by Major-General P.
II. Sheridan, on the 27th of September, and the
subsequent entertainment of that distinguished
soldier by a party of our members, were events
that should be recalled by us with pride and
satisfaction, not only lor the patriotic spirit
which was kindled amongst us, but for the en
thusiasm which was awakened in the city of
Philadelphia, and which displayed itelf in many
popular demonstrations that were alike gratify
Bg to us and to our renowned guest.
By a happy coincidence, Major-General Sickles
was also a guest of the League during General
(Sheridan's visit ; and to that tried and faithful
aoldier and eminent military governor, we are
indebted for the powerful address which he
made before our citizens, unveiling at once tho
wicked perversity of Andrew Johnson, and the
KuUtydesigns of the bull resolute Kebels who
approve his treachery and uphold his short
lhttd policy iu the Soutberu States.
During the present year, the repairs to the
league House, which tho tire of last year reu
erto necessary, have been completed, and our
Association is now in possession of a building
sreatly liu proved in its value and accomnioda.

twenty-nine cents. Against this surplus there
ore no bills outstanding.
Whoever has weighed the facts and figures of
the late election must believe that the State of
Pennsylvania is still with the Union party.
There have been no such changes of public senti
ment as entitle our opponents to claim this
loyal Commonwealth as their own.
Where the source of a nation's power Is ln'the
people, that power should always bo cxercixcd
in the choice of rulers; or, in course of time,
the rulers will cease to represent the will of the
natioD, and a government may exist in an
taconism or at eumliy with the people. This
would be either the first step towards revolu
tion and unarcuy, or towards centralization and
de6rotism.
While our people take that interest in public
aflaus which induces every man to vote ou all
occasions, no danger can betull our Republic;
but when they cease to exercise their franchise,
or become iuditl'ereut about it, let them be
assured that the power which they yield will
pass into other hands; that every danger will v
threaten us; anu mat evenuiauy our social ana
political liberties will lie at the mercy, first of an
oligarchy, aud then of a despotism.
A time is close at hand when the tost will
again be applied to our patriotism, and Vibea w
shall know whether or not our State has been in
reality lost to the Union party. Tha test will
be the coming Presidential campaign, towards
which we we shall now turn with an interest
equal to the vast issues that will be Involved in
the result. Who doubts that with our time

How a Barber's Boy Became Lord Chief
Justice of EngUad,
From L endon Society for November.
Let readers transport themselves to Canter
bury in 1776, and let them enter a barber's shop
hard by Canterbury Cathedral. It is a primitive
shop, with the red aud white pole over the door,
and a modest display of wigs and puff-boxes in
the window. A small shop, but notwithstanding
its smallness, the best shop of its kind in Can
terbury; and its lean, stiff", exceedingly respect
able master is a man of good repute in the
cathedral town. His bands have, ere now,
powdered the Archbishop's wig, ana he is speci
ally retained by the chief clergy of the city
and neighborhood to keep their false hair
in f rder and trim the natural tresseu of their
chllditn.
Not only have the dignitaries of the cathedral
taken the worthy barber under their special
protection, but they have extended their care to
his little boy Charles, a demure, prim lad, who
is at the present time a pupil in the King's
School, to which academy clerical interest gained
him admission. The lad is in his fourteenth
year; and Dr. Osmond Bcauvoir, the master of
the school, gives him bo good a character for
industry and dutiful demeanor that some of the
cathedral ecclesiastics have resolved to make
the little fellow's lortune, by placing him iu the
office of a cboriater. There is a vacant place in
the cathedral choir, and the boy who is lucky
enough to receive the appointment will be pro
vided for munificently. He will forthwith have
a maintenance, and In course of time his salary
will be 70 per annum.
During the last fortnight the barber baa been
In great aud constant excitement, hoping that
his boy will obtain thl3 valuable place of prefer
ment; persuading himself that the lad's thick,
nessot voice, concerning which the choir-master
spoke with aggravating persistence, is a matter
of no real injoortance: fearing that the friends
of another contemporary boy, who is said by the
cnoir-master to nave an exceeaingiy meuiuuous
voice, may defeat bis paternal aspirations. The
momentous question agitate many bumble
homes in Cnnteibury ; and when Mr. Abbott, the
barber, is encouraged to hope the bet for his
son, the relatives aud supporters ot the coutem
porary boy are urging hiui not to despair. Party
spirit prevails ou either bide Mr. Abbott's
luiuily associates maintaining that the contem
porary boy's higher notes resemble those ot a
penny whistle: while the contemporary boy's
lather, with much satire and some justice, mur
murs that "old Abbott, who U the gossip-monger
of the part-on's, vauts to push his son into a
place for which there is a better candidate."
To-day is tho eventful day when the election
will be made. Even now, while Abbott, the
barber, is tiiuiir.ing a wig at hia shop wiudow,
and listening to the hopelul talk of an intimate
neighbor, his son Charley is chanting the Old
Hundredth before the whole chapter. When
Charley has been put through his vocal pieces,
the contemporary boy is requested to 6ing.
Whereupon that clear-throated competitor, sus
tained by juHtiiiab'e sell confidence and a uew
laid efcg which he had sucked scarcely a minute
before, made a bow to their reverenees.and Mugs
out wuh such richness and compass that all the
auditors recognize his great superiority.
Ere ten more minutes bad passed, Charley
Abbott knows that he has lost the elejtiou, and
he hastcus from the cathedral with quick steps.
Itunuing iuto the fchop, he givei his fatnerouo
look that tells the whole btory of failure, and
then the Utile fellow, unable to com maud his
prief, sits down upou tho floor and sobs convul
sively. Failure is olten the firtt step to eminence.
Had the boy trained the chorister's plure, he

FASHIONABLE WEDDINGi
Marriage f Mr, J. V, Bcammon The
bridal Party and Ceremony.
From the Chicago jyitune, Deo. 0. '
There was a gentle agitation (not to call It by
tte vulgar name ox exoluruaut; la fashionable
circles yesterday, over oue of tn happy
events in llfewhloh. never tall to awaken u
llv ly Interest in socio! y. The marrlje of Mr.
J. Yourm iscammou to Mr. Wright, of luls city,
was celubiatnd at noon yesterday iu tbe Nov
JeruHHlem Church ou Adam street, near Mk Ql
gaa aveuue, iu presence or a large and faa'ilon
able aaaemblage. The bridegroom being oue of
our moat piomlnent and wealthy citizen", It
was natural that his welding should be re-
?nrled with morel titer tt tbau Is usually nulal
ested in ordluary caaea. The appearanco of
Adams street for an hour pre vinui to the time
fixed for the ceremony indicated that something
of unusual importance, and of exceedingly
pleasant character was about to occur. From
Wabash to Michigan avenue each side of tbe
Btrcet was lined with carrlugea, while a large
number of people, attracted by a natural curt
oalty to nee what waa going on, had oollwuod
In iront ol the church, wlncli was rapidly belug
filled to lis utmoHt capacity. From the door of
the church to the edge of tho sidewalk waa laid
a carpet for the bride and her attendants to
pass over. The interior of tbe building pre
sented a brILIant appearance. Tne allur and
the surroundings were appropriately decorated
with flowera and evergreens, and a slraiu of
sweet niUHlc from the orxau seemed to give ad
ditional lmpreaslveneHS to tbe scene. Tue
visitors, among whom we noted many of our
most prominent citizens, seemed to be duly
imprehscd with the dignity of the occasion. It la
a common remark that a wedding la very much
like a funeral; there Is nu element of aadneas
lu It which stems lo all'ect the spectators with
an Irresistible tendency lo look grave. The
male portion of tbe audlenco preserved a de
corous silence and looked Bufllclently solemn,
while the ladles, who were decidedly in the
malorllv. kent au anxious eve on the door
through which the happy pair were expected
to enter. A little after twelve the pastor of the
church, Kev. J. It. illbbard, who was lo per
form ttie ceremony, made his appearance, robed
In white vestments, with a blue sUit scarf.
Presently Mr. Hcaroraon entered the church
with his bride. Hhe was attired In a rich
heavy corded lavender silk dresa, with an
Illusion scarf of tbe same material, and
over her shoulders she wore a haudsome point
applique shawl. A while bonuet, wif ii orange
blossoms, adorned her head. The bride was
attended by the two daughters of Mr. Soam
luon, Miss Florence and Mias Lilly, the former
of whom was dressed in a light blue silk, with,
illusion scarf, while the lalier wore a pink
striped silk dress. Accompanying tbe party
were General and Mrs. Birong (who also wore
a pale blue silk drew), Mr. and Mrs. M. D.
Oaden (slaier of the bride). Mr. Charles 0.den.
and Mr. A. Woodle. Tbe ceremony was simple
and brief, not occupying over ten minutes, and
after a prayer had been offered up by the pas
tor, the bildal party left the church, and took
their places In the carriages which were await
ing them at tbe door to convey the bride and
her friends to her new home. The congrega
tion separated Immediately alter they bad left
the church.
Tbe Wander Inn; Jew.
Gustave Dore seems to have caught the very
spirit ot this myth, and to have embodied It in
his representation ot the Jew, as obeying the
trumpet tone that mas mm rest at last, dj
loos'ng his shoe-latchets.
There are those who stoutly maintain that
Jesus' words, "Verily I say unto you, there be
some standing here which shall cot taste death,
till tbey see the Son of Man coming in His king
dom," give something more than a mythical
character to tbe present personage; they insist,
indeed, that hia existence is necessary to a
E roper explanation of the above utterance,
lespite their belief, however, the world at large
assigns the Jew to the list of myths.
The earliest mention of him is in the book of
Chronicles of the Abbey of St. Al bun's, England,
and the year of his visit there is given as 1228.
We next hear of him as appearing at the royal
palace in Ik hernia, in 1005, to aid a weaver,
Kohot, to find a treasure secreted by Kohot's
great-grandlather in the Jew's presence, sixty
years beiore. lie is next heard of in tbe East,
where he is confounded with the Prophet
Elijah. In 1547 he was seen in Europe by Paul
von hitzen, Bishop of Schleawig, to whom he
narrated the story of the crucifixion ot Christ.
In 1575 he appeared to some soldiers in Spain.
In 16U9 he was seen at Vienna. In 1604, Ru
dolph Boterus mentions his appearance in Paris.
In 1640 he was observed walking in some
woods adjacent, to Brussels. In 1642, he
is reported to have visited Leipslc. In
1658, he presented himself to one Samuel
Wallis, of Stamford, England, and gave him a
specific for his consumption. Wallii is more
minute in his description of the Jew than
others who were favored with his company, and
says: "His coat was purple, and buttoned
oown to the waist; bis britches, of the same
color, all new to tee;" his stockings were very
white, also his beard and head, and he had a
white 6tick in his band. The day was rainy
from morning; to night, ''but be had not one
spot of dirt upon his clothe?." In 1721 he
appeared at Munich. Numerous impostors or
lunatics, asbuming to be the Jew, appeared in
England about tbe close of tbe seventeenth
century, and in the years 1818, 1824, and 1830.
Since then he has apparently existed only in
the imaginations of such romaucltsts as Sue and
Croly.
