A Jolly Spcppli rrom Govprtwr Curt in. At n banquet trndnretl liy an old sol dicrn'organization of Wushington.called the I.oynl I.eginn, on Washington's birthday, (iovernor Curtin was present and responded to tho toast "< >ur War (iovernor"' as follows: Ho said ho wished to give homage to the soldiers who helped him do his duty. II" said he was not a fighting man ; ho did not like that sort of amusement; he did his duty in urging others to fight. God Almighty has put it into the hearts of the men in the capitol to care for the maimed soldiers during their brief re. maining tenure of life. The States should provide fur the orphans. The men who carried the sabre and the musket were tho men who saved the country, and 1,200 unknown dead at Gettysburg and the thousands of un known dead elsewhere are tho demigods of the war. Governor Onrtin bhen re marked that it was not generally known, perhaps that he was once a military man himself. "I commanded 15,0"X) men when Pennsylvania was threatened with invasion. There were physicians and lawyers, dentists and druggists, and negro minstrels. When we got over to Hagerstown we all wanted to go home : every man of us. 1 never saw such an atl'ection displayed for wives and homes before, and I must plead guilty to the soft impeachment myself. Think of 15,000 peaceful Pennsylvanians far away from home and the guns at Antietam booming in the distance. A Dutchman came to me and said, "My men want to go homo." "So do I," I said, "but you must go and talk to your men." He went out and got on a store box and said: "You are an infernal lot of damned cowards. You aro so Hutch you have got a black streak down your backs." Then he said tome, "I think after that appeal ono inan will remain." Well, 1 took those 15,000 mm hack to Pennsylvania without losing ono. An other lime ! sent a -mall aQtny up into Somerset county. Somerset county abounds largely in maple sugar anil rye whiskey, and my army abounded largely in preachers and Quakers. Tho army only staid in Somerset six weeks, but when they left there was not a pound of maple sugar or a pint of whisky in the whole county. My military career has been bloodless, but I tell you, ad mirals and generals sitting around me, that 1 can go into Pennsylvania and get ten men to your one. Why ? P.eeause you make cripples, and widows, and orphans, and I take the men back safely to their homes. lam tho modern sol dier, the soldier of peace, who neither give wounds nor receive them. IN a speech made some days ago in Ohio by Mr. Isaac M. Jordan he gave the following pedigree of Democracy : "In the early history of this country, at tho time of the Declaration of Inde pendence, and indeed up to the surren der of Cornwallis and the close of the Revolutionary war, there were two poli tical parlies in this country—the Tories and the Patriots. When the Constitu tion of the United .States was adopted two parties existed, the one the Federal party, led by Hamilton, and the other the Anti Federal, led by Thomas JefTer son, the founder of the Democratic party. This Federal party desired a strong central government, while the Anti Federalists con tended fora govern mcnt based on the equality of the States, and reserving to tho States and the people all the rights not granted to the Federal Government. The Consti tution of the United States is a com promise between the idea of these two opposing political parties. F.vor since the adoption of that Constitution there has been an irrepressible conflict be tween the advocates of power upon tlfe ono hand and the friends of freedom on the other. The Uepubiican party is the - lineal descendant of tho old Federal party, while tho Democratic party is the legitiniato successor of tho old Anti Federal party. What has it done, this Democratic party? It has fought two foreign wars, tho war of 1812 and the Mexican war. It has furnished most ol tho Generals for tho war of tho rebellion and half tho soldiers who put down tho rebellion. It did more. It added Flori da, Louisiana, Texas and California to the Union, ami extended our national domain until it is twenty times greater than it was in tho beginning, while the Republican party has demanded a con solidated government. It has contend ed for a constitutional republic. It has maintained that ours was not an empire, but a Union of States, that it was not a monarchy, but a government of tho people, by tho people, in tho people." The New York Ihtall publishes in, terviews with Charlei A. Dana, of the .N't ii : Whitelaw Keid, of tho IViiune, and Hugh Hastings, of tho C im.r--t.if .1 h irtisrr, having reforenco to l'residen toil candidates ami conventions. Mr. Dana favors Saratoga as tho placo f>r holding tho Democratic Convention and late August or early September for j tho time. Ho is sure Mr. Tilden is not ; and will not be a candidate, and is per sonally in favor of W. S. Holtnan, of Indiana, for President. In Mr. Dana's opinion Arthur might bo ablo to carry a united delegation from New York ; Cornell would like to, 1 tit cannot, and I'olger cannot. The only i- up, hn be lieves, will l.e to jut the Republicans out, they meanwhile fighting to keep in. Whitelaw Reid favors nn early conven tion of his party, and believe- Saratoga to bo tho best place. Ho ha--no decided preference- as to the candidate. Ri.iir.o he considers out of tho Held. Arthur, ho thinks, stands very well with the country, while Randall .at present le i Is I the Democratic candidates. Mr. H. t ings nlo believe- in an early conven tion, to be held nt > iratogs. II" thinks the list of Presidential candidates pub li-iied by tho T, amounts to nothing. There i-n't a six foot man among them Democrat or Republican. Tilden, avers Mr. Hastings, would tako a noinl nation if he could get it. He'd take a red hot stove. McDonald, in Mr. Ha-t" ings' view, will lie the strong" t man in the Democratic Convention. As to ,'.r thur, ho seems t i have a walk over. I.vents are shaping thing for him, .at.d there seems now to Ire no other live can didate. Mr. Hastings thinks that Dana fooled by Tilden. and that the R >pub licans would like nothing hi tter than the old ticket of eight years They would havo great sport .n ringing tho changes on the cipher d -patches. The noteworthy point* in these interview with three men so id< ly divergent in opinion on | olilic.il topics aro their unanimity with regit I to President Arthur's strength with tho j-eople and their choice of Saratoga a- tho j roper place for holding tho Conventions. Judge Wylie on Cranks, V MERE liOl I.T ir IMTV NOT A Mill I IKNT I'EIEVE. Judge Wylie, in charging a Washing ton jury a few days since in a murder case, in which the defen-e set up ttic plea of in anity, said: "A man who, has reason enough to govern hirn-elf and govern his own conduct is respons! bio to the law, and there are very few person* whoso rea on is so clear as to Re a perfect guide. Men aro more or les imperfect as to all their faculties, but so tho man who has reason must be re gardod as responsible. Rut even this is not a clear straight line. I never seen a case in which the evidence demon strated exactly where tho lino was. The old rule was (and I don't know as any hotter has over boon established) that tho man who knows tho difference be tween tight and wrong i responsible. That is tho general rule and 1 am not going to depart front it. There aro men of imperfect standard and of intellect and who yet retain reason enough to mako them responsible. lam going to givo notice to men who are a little cranky, ami whose intellects are imper feet, that they cannot go alrout brand ishing weapons and taking human life and come hero and claim tho privilege by virtue of their plea of insanity. If the jury find that tho defendant knew tho difference between right and wrong they would not do right to find such a man insano and irresponsible. If this be a case of real Insanity, and if the man was laboring under a delusion, in committing the crime, and if the jury can believe that this man has delusions, and getting under them, is not able to restrain himself you may find to that effect, end the court will turn him over to the proper authorities. Rut if ho should be a mere crank, and the act a mere whim, and the defendant able to control his conduct, then you should find him guilty. 1 shall never lay down the law that a mere doubt gives the de fendant the privileges of insanity, and when tho defense is simply insanity it must lie made out to the satisfaction of tho court." A Singular In*iil>itl of the War. In the early part of 186-1 a short but spiritited light occurred at a place in Knat TenneaMeo called D&ndridgc, Lc tween a part of Longst reel's corps and a considerublo lorco of Kedoral cavalry. Many were killed on bolhside*. Among the Confederate dead was a man named Seaford, from North Carolina, who had been a professor of mathematics to one of tho colleges of that state, and who was one of the finest looking men wo ever saw, lie was a private in the Washington Light Infantry from Charleston, S. and would not accept a commission, though it was tendered him several limes, lie was buried on the spot a hero be was killed, and hit comm it s returned to their quarter several miles away. About two weeks after the fight a letter eamo to bis ad die --. The captain of tho company opened it. and it proved to bo from a young lady, to whom Seaford aas en gaged to bo married. It was written on 1 tho very day tho light occurred at I>andridge, related a dream the writer bad just had, in which sho saw -eufoi d lying dead on tho battlefield shot through the left hri a-t describing the death wound exactly a.s it r. as, and even the topography ol tho field, th< ugh die had never -i-cn it,and in all probability know nothing of the battle. he ig ged him t > s' slightc I betoro the ailurctucnts of pleasure.
