RUINOUS MEASURES,
t
to assert our right of local self-government,
to maintain our birthright principle of the
Unity of Taxation and Representation, to
prevent the threatened
WASTE OP THE PROPERTY AND

and guard against the terrible corruption
that must ensue from the snatching of the
control of our city affairs from our own
Councils,
SELECTED BY THE PEOPLE,

ABSOLUTE MANANQEMENT OF IRRE
SPONSIBLE COMMISSIONS,
composed of a few men appointed by a body
many of whose members are unacquainted
with our needs, without knowledge of our
condition and without sympathy with oar
wishes.
The Councils have no interest in the mat

of the interests of the city. It is for the

that they ask for a grand outpouring of all
our citizens for the safety and happiness

CHARLES SUMNER.
Di Claim en the Cenntry. and the
mistake
iTiaae vj in. senate.
For nearly twenty rears Mr. Sumner has been
the special target of abuse and defamation from
the Democratic press. Ills virtues, which are
many and great, have been denied and scouted;
nis lanits, wcicn are lew ana venial, nave been
magnified and paraded.
Whenever (as in iwj) a lew iiepuoncans nave
tried to oust him from the Senate, every Demo
cratic heart and voice have instinctively sym
pathized with the effort and cheered on its
engineers. Nay, the most imperative dictates
of propriety and decency have been overridden
by Democratic malevolence, and the sanctities
of his home and hearth have been ruthlessly,
cruelly invaded and defied, and a domestic
affliction which he had no wise deserved nor
provoked has been dragged into glaring pub
licity, ana made the tnenie ot gross exaggera
tion and malignant, exulting criticism, though
no one believed Mr. Sumner at fault in the
premises. The man was most cruelly assailed
and traduced only because the statesman was
eminent and his character invulnerable.
Mr. Sumner s fallings at one arrest attention.
A dogmatic temper, which render him impatient
of contradiction and unable readily to compre
hend that another may differ widely from him
and yet be honest, it stateliness of manner which
distances from him all but the tew. an honest, but
somewhat too manifest, pride in his position and
well-earned lame these exhaust the catalogue:
and whose faults are fewer or less grave? On the
other hand are an eye so single, a heart so pure.
a career so spotless that the most ribald and
licentious press that ever impeded the progress
of civilization has never yet dared to impeach
me purity oi ms motives or tne lottincssot his
aims. In an age when nearly every public
man is accused of venality often most unjustly
no one has even ventured to suggest or
insinuate that Charles Sumner ever gave a
vote or made a motion in deference to any
sordid Impulse or in the expectation that
his always modest income would thereby be
increased. The most reckless and scurrilous
Democratic partisan orator, while abusiag Mr.
Sumner without scruple or stint, under the
stimulus of applauding yells, would have in
stantly checked the flow of his hearers' enthu
siasm bad he ventured to assail the Integrity and
moral worth of him whom they all detested as a
fanatic and a deadly foe to the integrity and
perpetuity of ourX'nion.
After all fair deductions and qualifications
have been made, Mr. Sumner stands to-day the
foremost American senator.
That it was a mistake in the Senate to remove
Mr. Sumner from the chairmanship of its Com
mittee on Foreign Relations we cannot doubt.
And yet the position to which he was transferred
was better adapted to his genius, and more
accordant with his lofty renown. For, while
we have had no Senator "since Salmon P. Chase
entitled to rank Charles Sumner, and though
that must be a very meagre compend of Ameri
can history which omits his name, yet ms hon
orable eminence has been nowise achieved
through the chairmanship aforesaid, but wholly
through that eager, uncompromising, unsleep
ing devotion to the equal rights of man which
the position ust assigned mm Dy tne senate
must afford him the largest opportunities to
subserve.
If Mr. Sumner had been great enough to say
to his fellow Senators, "Put me ou any com
mittee, or on none, as you judge most conducive
to the public good at the loot of the Committee
ou Enrolled Bills, if you think I ean be most
useful there," he would have won a triumph
greater than that ot any ancient or modern
warrior JV. Y. Tribune, editorial, to-dag.

name oi Kate Tayior. in tne year ixo uae went witn
her n. ber to Europe, where she perfected her eda
catlou at a school In farts. Before their return to
this country, which was la tne latter part of 1868,
air. Tayior, wno naa nitneno uvea t noteis, pur
chased a fine mansion In Madison avenue, In this
city, and lurnlHlied it to a large exteut with selec
tions made by Mrs. Taylor and the grandchild whUe

tonth ol March, iso, tney removed to their new
residence. Undoubtedly, the primary motive Mr
Taylor bad, in tbas changing bis manner of life, was
for the benent ana nappiueas oi nis graaaaaughter,

words he said to her were: "Kate, how could you

deep affection throughout on his part, aud the next
day she returned wi,h her husband to New Bed-
lord. After ber return from the country she again
called at her grand lather's house, and aome mouths
alter mutual courtesies were extended between the
two families, but to rather a limited degree. There
is, oowever, su uouot mat be still en
tertained tne greatest affection to
wards bis granddaughter, but no evi
dence ol any such regard for her husband, lu the
month of May, 1870, Mrs. Taylor, young Mr. and

there, which led to a separation oi the DartvMr

party in anoiner.
After a long review and analysis of the evi

It is. therefore, my decree that the Mid Instru

REUNION IN MISSOURI,
Aadrc ef the St. Repnblleaa I'ammlUee
te the Kepablieaae af the ueaniy.
The following address to the Republicans of
St. Louis county, Missouri, has been published
by their reorganized c mmittee
Headquarters Rkf-cblican County Comcrrrsit,
St. Louis, March 4, 187 1. Pellow-Kepublicans of St.
Louts county: The accomplished union of the Re
publican ranks will be hailed with satisfaction and
pleasure by Republicans of all shades of opln'on,
not only throughout this county and State, but
throughout the length and breadth of the land.
Every sincere Republican will rejoice that we now
present a harmonious front and can look forward to
a successful future.
The recent division grew out of a diversity of
views, largely due to the Independence, personal
freedom and Individuality thai have ever been
characteristic of members of the Republican party,
and tbat make It the party of freemen characteris
tics that are Its main success as weil as its occa
sional weakness. The determination to push this or
carry that measure, believed to be essential, illus
trates the progressive spirit that animates tills great
party, and renders It the party of the people.
A party tbat has stood for the nation through a
war for national existence, and stands for the na
tion In the settlement necessary to maintain In peace
what has only been won by an immense expenditure
of blood and treasure such a party canuot desert
Us post while the opposing party still challenges anl
assails that settlement. The reconstruction amend
ments devolve upon Congress and tne President the
duty and responsibility of their enforcement. Can
this task be assigned to the Democrats? Much as
the Republican party has done, its mission 1b not yet
ended.
At this juncture, when Democrats threaten de
struction to the work of reconstruction a work
which has cost so much national labor and perse
verance ; at this time when the baleful Democratic
cloud is already warted along the political atmo
sphere by the nndoer of the national life, every Re
publican will lose any lndltTere'ice he may have felt,
will seek to animate all lovers or the redeemed
country to rail? around the standard that nresirved
its liberties, maintained the constitution and saved
the nation. Let this example of ours the example
of friendship, harmony, and good faith inspire
true Repu leans all over the land, and let ns onoe
more Join to overwhelm the Implacable oppanents
of the common peace and security.
OBITUARY.
General Jainca Patter,
of Lewistown, MirHia county, well known
throughout Pennsylvania, died suddenly at
Bolton s Hotel, Harrlsburg, on Thursday night.
He bad not been in very good health for several
weeks, and for the previous day or two seemed
quite low-spirited and depressed, remarking to
a friend only a day before his death that he was
not feeling at all well, but could not tell what
was the matter. About half-past 9 o'clock
Thursday evening General James Burns, his
life-long friend and -companion, called to see
him, and upon sending a servant to his room be
was found upon the floor in convulsions and un
conscious, in which state he remained until his
death, whic h occurred at 11 o clock.
Ueneral rotter belonged to a historic family
one of the oldest and at one time the wealthiest
In the State. Ills grandfather, General James
Potter, was a major-general in the Revolution,
and for several years an officer on the staff of
Washington, lie possessed the entire confidence
of bis commander-in-chief, and at the close of
the Revolutionary struggle was sent at the head
of a detachment of troops into Central Pennsyl
vania to overawe tne Indians and protect the
settlers. Potter's fort, in Peon's valley, Centre
county, was built and for lined by this expedi
tion; and at tne termination ot tne luciian
troubles the commander was so charmed with
the natural beauties and advantages of that region
that he tooK up bis permanent residence near
the site of the "Old Fort,' and here the subject
of this sketch was born. At an earlv age he em
barked la business, and for several years was
quite successful as an iron manufacturer as well
as in other manuiacturing and commercial en
terprises. But reverses swept away his large
fortune, and at the time of his death he was
comparatively poor. Perhaps no man in the
(jommonweaitn nas a larger circie oi acquaint
ances or was more universally esteemed by bis
friends. At the time of his death General Potter
was in the 54th year of his age. .. ..
