THE PALL Y EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY; MARCH 7, 1871. DOLLIfc AKD THE I WO S31ITUS From Blackwood KilinburgJi) Mtoazin. CONCLUDED. Besides our agricultural operationn, we ar called upon as good citizens to devote Home of our attention to politics. The lo'tn of town officers every year 1j ho occasion of groat excitement and intrigue. It is here that the youthful Ameri can mind acquires the rudiments of that ei- alted statesmanship vhoh 'ii4 iUfn.ll frni-' tion in tbe adroit achievement of great state or national flnauoial frauds. A "StW in America is divided into oonulieo and towns; the towns are in fact rural dntri jN, each one laree enough for half-a-dozen or h nary English country parishes iu each town there may be one or more villages or h-tm-lets, though, the villages properly so called require charters of incorporation giv ing them municipal officers and indepen Jut local government. Where there is no "ch Tillage incorporation, the tovn chimes aii nnaUy its own officers; theoe counUt of town fnptrvifior, road couiniifwiouer, sheriff, con stables, etc. Tolitics may thin le said to 1j brought into the minutebt details of every man's daily life. For instance, Orange Zee, vowing ven geance against the old man, Dollie'9 father, and being bIho animated by the deaire to at tain the first round of the ladder by whijli ho might possibly nltiojately climb to the presi dential chair at Washington, determined to put himself forward as the llpublicu candidate for the exalted ollk-e of ton constable.- Iu pursuance of which design Orange Zee donned his go-to-meeting coat, and after con sulting ISwouip, who was going hiuinnlf to run for Supervisor on the Republican ticket, drove to peveral of the leading Republican fr.iirH, and announced to them that he had beau h.j nrgently prebhed by his friends to have Im same put upon the ticket as Ujn-tUblo, (hit lie had reluctantly consented, aal that he would consider it a favor if they would mip port bim. Meantime Swouap haviug hell a private caucus of his friends at one of the stores" in the village, decided upon the li-.t of officers which they would oiFer to the Republican party in opposition to the list Leadtd by the old mau, who comm for ward as Republican candidate in opposi tion to Swomp. A few days alter all the K? pnblicans in the town rally to the Republican tavern, where Bwomp's supporters hand each arrival a ticket containing his own name at tbe top ; and Orange Zee's name at the bot tom; and the old man's supporters hand e)h arrival a list with his name at the top, on re ceiving which the voters plunge into au inner room reeking with humanity, aiuoke, and profanity, where all tbe respective can lid tt-s and their supporters are Rtrugliu round a table, at which are Hjtel the scrutineers; and, after a diy of confusion and excitement, Swo'up'-i supporters announce triumphantly tint tbey Lave carried their ticket, aud Oriuge Z- returns to onr longing arms, covered with dust and glory and swelling of whiskey. U it. this is only a preliminary stage. The D u i crats go through the aiue form a few dyn afterwards, and then both political ptrtie-t having thus decided on their tickets, try issues with each other. It is only to be ex pected that a uumbei of the oil mau'a sup porters, disgusted with their defeat, vo e Democratic; but tlion a number of D.ouo crats on the fame ground vote Republican to the one set of malcontents about baUu te the other. Still the issue is as un certain as it is Englaud, because a Vote in America is worth as mu ;h money as it is in England, though it is ouly for the State or United SUtea Legislatures that they are worth paying for in money: iu their local elections the consideration is various, and maybe illustrate I byOru Zee's own proceedings. lie having a mar vellous faoulty for diving into the private affairs of his fellow-townsmen, went to so-m who bad large amounts owing to tUeiu, an 1 remised, if they would vote for hiui, to o l ect their debts in his capacity of Cj.ist.i'ile, and charge them nothing for it; aui he went to others who he knew were over whelmed with debts, and pro mised that if they would vote for him he would always give them warning be fore he came to distrain, bo as to enaSle them to convey their goods away iu tiuie; in fact, Orange Zee managed so to impress peo ple with the extent of the powers which be could wield to benefit those who voted for him, and to injure his opponents, that many who voted Democratic scored out the oous'a bles nominated on their own ticket, aud substituted Orange Zee's name. Thus it happened that although the Demo imtid ticket was finally elected, aud Svom and the old man both defeat-" i, Orange Zee came in triumphantly at the tail of the Democrats; thus in these early days proving political capaoity of a very high order, and inspiring both Dollie aud mi with great expectations for the future. I did not then know that Orange Zee had beg iu life as a boot-black in the lobby at Albany, and thns at a tender age had imbibed, as it were, tbrongh tbe soles of emineut politicians, those first principles whioh he was turning to such excellent acoount. Where life is ou fdgantio system of barter, one of the earliest essons to be learnt is, bow much one's social position, political influence, professional knowledge, and religions standing, are seve rally worth "on a trade." Taka the case of Gouge, who was elected Democratic tou supervisor against Swomp and the old mau. Gorge was a director of the Van Snookville and Dog Hole Branch Railway. The V.8. aud li.H.B.R. is Democratic; no Republican con ductors, porters, and brakesmen need apply. At the Siatejeleotions the V. S. and B.H.B. II. vote Democratio to a man; and the nomina tion of the Democratio candidate in oar Con gressional district may practically be said to zest with the President and Board of the V.S. and B.II.B R. Gouge had been first a porter, then a conductor and finally had run a wild-cat on said railway with such success that he wafi promoted to station-master. To run a wild-cat for auy length of time on a single line without au ftocident requires both skill and daring. A wild-cat is a sort of extra goods train thit has no stated times for running, bat dodges from one station to another between the regular trains whenever the line happens to be vacant, and tbe engineer think he cau reach the next station before any train leaves it, and go fast enough not be overUkeu by the lightning express behind him. Metaphorically, Gouge had run a wild-cat all his lift,; he bad a wonderful faculty of dodging past people on his upward career, lie knew bo well the value of his position as stalion-maater, that though his Balary was only a thousand dollars a-yeur, he managed by dexterous trading to exchactt the information, opportunities,' uud pior which his position gave him, for over twenty thousand dollars in two years. Gouge it was who aaw how much money was to be nude hf 1",''I t (tnt; HP'' '-.- f ,r btotiii wto was ahotcl-tbpcr, aac promised to neenre tbe privilege of the hotel to him, on condition that ha should receive a share o' the profit j aud so he introduced Gouge junior to the President, who saw no objection to the Fctfine, provided he had auother share in tbe profits. So the President and the twa Gonges share the profits of the hotel betweeu tb m. In the Rame way he Bonred a valuable railway contract for the leading Democrat iu Van Hnookville, upon the nuderstanding thV be should oommand the whole vote whenever be required it, a few refractory De uocrats being "squared" with small shares in the con tract, and the whole helping to Bwell the political influouofl of the President of thn V. S. and B. U. B. 11., who received besi les large pecuniary share iu the profits of the contract. And so Gouge quietly stop-wl wph bis twenty thousand dollars foui being Mstiou-ojaster into the proprietor ship of the' "Van Hnookville Deinoorat," which paper be worked ho au'icessfully for the intetest of the railway aud the Demo crat io party iu general, and biuiSHlf in par ticnlsr. tht when the Van Snookville Na tit al Bank van Marted, the vnirw of publij opinion unanimously pointod to Gouge as president; and Goue finding himself, to m- bis own words, "reluctantly forced into this 1 osition of responsibility and prominence by bis appreciative fellow-townsmen" (who are by this time ho completely cowed by him, that tbey are afraid to call their souls their own), runs that flourish ing institution. tbe First National Bar k of Van Snookville, as be did the wild cat, entirely for his own benefit. Ii there any wonder, therefore, that, though the ma jority of tl e population of Van Sno kville is Republican, by Home mysterious dispensation the vote of the town is always largely Dituo crhtic? for could not Gong, who is Presi dent of tbe First Nationd Bank, Director of tLo V. 8. and B. H. B. R., town supervisor, proprietor of the "Vau Snookville Djiuo crkt," part proprietor of the Van Snookville Railway Ilo'tl, and joint owner with his son, who rnna it, of tbe principal store in the vil lage, with one-half of tho population iu debt tj biH bank, aud the other half dependent in sojie form or other on the V. S and B. II B R. could not Gonge, I say, bring such terrific pressure to bear upon any lnckless individual who ventured to thwart bis (.overeigu will, that life in Vau Saookvilla would be a burden to bim? If Gonge want to force a public road across a man's field, all be bus to do is to toll the judge, who owes his election to Gouge's influence, that he had better appoint assessors prepared to "lay" the road thus, and do his (Gougo's) will or he need iever more hope to dispense justice in that neibboi bond. G.mge's life seems beut on tbe invention of politic! and social Bcrews, and instruments ot morl torture; and as all tbe functionaries are eleoted, and he prac tically controls the ebctious, he manages to work tbe electors and the elected against eaoh other with such alroitne-s, that, the powr he wii-lds Qjay tie said to be absolute. Provi dentially Gongo drinks! Van Suookville, as ungrateful as her rival Parts, to the man to whom she owes, it not her beauty, at least ber prosperity Van Snookville, less bold than ber "trrecoucilable" bister, is afraid to vote "no" against ber oppressor, but finds a grateful solace in the conso latory lefiectiou that he drinks. For a week at a time whisky renders Gonge nnable to rn!e over us. Then Swomp, who is perpetual arch-grand knight of the Good Templars, ral lies bis sons of te-uperance, and the leading church members enter into deep mysterious conclaves as to the best means of rid liug thciusf Ives from tbe hst.id yoke of Goii;o. The eld man and Swomp'sink their reli gious and trading animosities to combine ugaiust the common enemy; nud a holy alli ance is formed between the Methodists and Baptists, which results in the announcement tbut Splurge, the great revivnlint preacher, will shortly arrive, to quicken the slum bering consciences of the Van Snookvil ieitts; and the junior members of the chinniuuity, of both sects and sexes, h ok forward with some little flutter of ex citement to the prospect of "a protracted meeting," and unlimited opportunities of iiiitatiou. It. is hoped that by a tremeudous tfiort of religion and morality Gonge may be ciusbtd. I did not take any part in the re vival myself, because Dollie did not approve of it, and bhe only allowed Orange Zee to go because he Raid he ought to be there iu his capao'ty of town constable; but his real object was to act as spy upon Swomp and tbe old man, and report their machiuations against Gouge to that accomplished operator ana noon -com pan ion. urange Zee, you see, did Hit believe that tbe great Gouge could be crushed, even by a Splurge, although that distinguit-htd divine likened him to a roariug lion seeking whom he could devour, and called upon his hearers to "flee from him and bis contracts, and his newspaper, and his hoel, aud his ktore, and all his works." During the fortnight that the pro tracted meeting lasted, all farming ope rations were suspended. It took pUiie at a fcoason of the year wheu work was not pressing, and day after d-iy wagon-loads of olJ and young of both sexes, in their best oos t ume, drove up alternately to the Methodist and Baptist churches; and the voice of Splurge might be beard for some distance down tbe village street exhorting bis hearers to come forward to "tho mourners' bench." Here those who had been inott powerfully acted upon made their confession and their profession, aud from that time forward they were said to have "got" or "experienced reli gion." The exact number of persons who "got religion" during this visit of Splurgo's was afterwards published among those inte resting heart-statistics, if I may be alljA-ei the phrase, which are to be found in tnse spare columns which the religious journaU do not devote to abusing each other. It is quite an interesting 6luJy to turn over a file of these, and add up the total of broken aud contrite hearts that have resulted dunug the year from the labors of the various Splurge all over the country, and to read how bitter these rival Splurges sometimes get with one another, and how jealous of eaoh other's special gifts, and bow furious are the feuds which arise from the difficulty of shaiiug the spoil. Even now the war which resulted Irom the Van Snookville revival is still raging, for Swomp declared that the old mau had persuaded a number of those who iu tended to ''experience' Methodist religion to join the Baptist Church; whereas it hud been clearly understood, before Splurge's arrival, that all the broken hearts bo made were to be divided equally between the two denominations; but the fact is, on a trbde, whether it be in human oonscieuoes or anj thing else, the old man is always more than a match for Swomp. Tbe practical inoouvonience of thU revival was that its influence was not oouftned to qnickening tbe oouscienoes only of those who Leneuttd by it; they seemed to got quicker all over. Oae young mau, before he got religion, with .whom I was dickering for a horse, posi- ivr1v pwr"t 1 -A t" r" mil -"n ' oujUth for it, auU uulU but st?U it to ;ue tor lens. Onr trade was interrupted by 8plarg fo. a fortnight, and at the end of it be had uin'i rgona the quickening process, and "m positively he had paid 245 dollars 1 'be animal. this is only one illustration. I did not Uow of a single instance of greater honesty in trade after tbe revival than before it. It never once seemed to ooour to two men of contrite spirit to say to each other, "Gome now, we bve persistently thought everything worth whatever we could get for it, lr respec tive of its intrinsic value, and have considered false representation in regard to articles we had for sale a merely venial offense; let us, now that wej have got religion, never try to get more for anything than it is honestly worth." If even Splurge cannot venture to recommend people when tney are asked for their ooats to give their cloaks also, without extiugui.hing himself and his popu larity as an imparter of the Christian religion forever, let him at least suggest that when a man asks for your coat, you should not tarn upon him end strip him naked as an evidence of Christian "smartness." O my dear Splurge, I am sorry to have to tell you that my ex petieuce has been that the Bosner men get over the effects of your labors on their consciences, the more I like to deal with them; and I would also venture to suggest that it is very difficult to give to others what yon have not got yourself. Orange Zee did not get religion, but he got a good deal of useful information, by the dexterous management of whioh he hopes to iucrecse his social aud political iuflueuce, and thus rie to higher spheres of usefulness. I do not mean to divulge wnat these are in fact I am at this moment interrupted by a piece of intelligence for whioh a time wili disturb onr domestio arrangements, and which involves to no small degree the future happiness both of Orange Zae and injself. 1 have before alladed to the remark ably philosophical and speculative character of Dollie's mind, and that we have both beeu conscious that her advanced habits of thought were not unlikely to produce a strong influ ence upon us. She has just imparted to us the important discovery that she has married the wrong Smith. I need not say that we saw it both io the same light instantly. Why it never flashed upon us before duriug the iast five years it is useless to attempt to inquire. It was the real solution of a great domestij problem, which, like Columbus' egg, we had missed from its extreme simplicity. As the laws of divorce in the State in whioh we are now residing interfere in the most absmd and arbitrary manner with the private matrimonial arrangements of its citizens, we have determined at once to proceed to the more enlightened State of Indiana, and have telegraphed to have the preliminary measures taken; this will enable us to start to-morrow. Dollie, who has made herself aoquaiuted with tbe whole course of proceedings, assures us that in that State the ceremony of divorce by mutual consent will not occupy above half an hour, and she then wishes to proceed to New York to have the marriage ceremony performed by at least two leading liberal di vines. She is strongly inoliued in favor of Mr. Ward Beecher and Mr. Frothingham. She says she does not care so muoh about the mere ceremony, but she wishes to commit those influential men to a great principle. Orange Zee asked her stnpidly whether she thought it likely she would ever change back again. Dollie, of course, told him to miad his own business. Orange Zee said he thought it was bis business; but his mind is so little able t rise above the ordinary interests of every day life that we never attend to what he says on tbe6e more profound questions. Whether I am the Smith from whom Dollie is going to be divorced, or the Soiit.h to whom she is going to be married, is not a matter of the smallest in ters to my readers. I may tell them what happens to us in Indiana and New York, or I may not, on some future oooaaion; but I can't know till it is over whether it will be worth telling. Meantime, of this the public may rest assured, that Orange Zee, Dollie, and I, all have the strongest possible affection, esteem, and admiration for eaoh otter, and are all profoundly indifferent to anything the world may think of us.
