THE OUTLOOK.
We are unable to discern in pres•
ent political indications, any thing
of a discouraging character to the
advocates of Republican principles.
tin the contrary, the temporary suc
cess of the Democratic party is
already turning to " Dead Elea fruits."
The course 'of the majority in the
last Congress was characterized by
more than' usual unanimity, and a
better Wiling prevails all = through
our ranks. The termination - of these
bitter personal feuds, which always
grow up,among leaders when a party
, • is long in power, has giyen the rank
- and file new courage, and the election
in the coming autumn will • disclose
the fact that the party which saved
the country still claims the Sympathy
and support of the great masses of
the loyal people. In our own State
many honest Republicans - last fall
voted with the Democratit, hoping
thereby to secure • certain reforms,
which they believed could be accom
plished in,-no other way
.but, the'
course or the Democratic - House of
Representatives last winter has satis
fied them that their confidence was
sadly misplaced, and they now see•
clearly what has always been appar
ent to close observers : that no .re
form was ever contemplated by the
Democratic leaders ; and - whafever
may be the future political action of
dissatisfied Republicans, they will
not'again aid in placing iilipower the
party which always provei false to
its professions—the party which. at
tempted the overthrow of the Gov
ernment and the establishment of a
confederacy founded on oppression
and wrong
' The sigr4all'point to a very sharp
defining of party lines 'iu the eppi
ing campaign.- While. Gov. HART
nA.Nrr will be the,=RepubliCan stand
ard-bearer, the opposition will select
An "old liner.'! Thus the contest
will be narrowed down to the same
issues upon which the campaign of
1860 was fought
THE RIOTOUS RISER&
The - riotous eonduct Of the idle

every opportunity was given the men
to desist from their unlawful designs,
or the loc4authorities to enforcethe
law. The'inen may as well under
stand nOW r ithat there will be no
trifling, and unless they disperse
at once they will reap the direful
consequences which must result from
continuance in their evil course.` In
a conflict between the mob and mili

A total stranger Ao your country
and its politioitl history, would think
himself among the !veriest set of
roilties and rascals unimulg'r were he
to listen_ to the wailings and bemoan
inp o f a certain class who have
worked" themselves into the belief
that political men and measures are
hopelessly - demoralized,._ and 'who
disparingly long for 'the " good old
times" when everybody was honest .
and everything went "merry as a
marriage bell." A little retrospection
will perhaps throw some light on the
subject and satisfy this class of sen
timentalists that the public men of
the present day are looked upon in
about the same light their predeces
sors were, and that intriguery and
corruption are less successful no*
than in the earlier history of the
republic. We venture the assertion
that the two Presidents last elected
by the people--Lincour and GRANT
—neiter combined nor intrigued for
nomination. It is a well understood
fact that at the convention which
first nominated LINCOLN, the friends
'of SEWARD were the .active intrigu
ants. An undercurrent of strong
popularity, and the presence in that
convention of a sturdy class of men
who could not be bit:ought' into "com
binations," defeated the well-laid
plans of StWARD'S friends, and event
ually nominated Lincoirr. There
were combinations against ; SEWARI?,
growing out of his own public'career,
—notably that of GREELEYr-but
LINCOLN was not personally a party,
in any schemeing or intriguing sense,
to the effort to nominate hiznselliis
rugged; -quaint , utterances 'hid given
him a hold on the popular heart, and
it Was this that gave him the nomina
tion. We believe there - was a Provi;
dence,rather than political intriguery,
in his nomination:
General GRANT / 8 case was different
in detail, but the #ame in principle.
He had made a reputation during the
war that assured lika a Presidential
nomination. It was only a question
which party should confer it. He was
in sympathy with the Republicans,
and these were far more glad to con
fer than he was to accept the nomi
nation. So of his second term,—
there were really no competitors.
We believe that the successful can
didate in the coming Presidential
contest will be the choice of the pee
ple as clearly as LINCOLN and Gia
were, and that iflany man is now
seeking to compass his own for any
other's nomination' by cunning : or
intrigue, he will, in the end, find to
his sorrow that "vaulting ambition,'
oterleapS itself," - and that it t .& only
by, the will of the people that politi
cal success Can be-aceomplisted.
THE BESINF.I9II PROSPECT.
The general stag,nation which has
so long held buSitiess enterprise,
seems to be giving way to a feeling
of more confidence, and the prospects
for a renewal of trade, and business
activity are cheering. The "hard
times " have not been caused by
lack of money, .but only a want of
confidence. Our city cotemporaries
speak in: the most hopeful terms of
the situation, and it r is the general
belief that • the present, season will
prove one of the most prosperous
the country has witnessed for years.
The Herald- concludes a well-written
artiere upon the subject with the fol
lowing sensible remarks-1.
." It is also the belief of. our most cau
tious financiers that for men who do a
legitimate business, with sufficient capi
tal, the present year is likely to be fairly
prosperous.
"Finally, in any consideration of the
future, the immense recuperittive powers
of the counfry must be taken into ac-•
count. Our condition is that of a young
and vigorous man with nsound constitu
tion struck, down fever; but when once
the fever t mastered his recovery is rapid
and sure. The country is rich and strong;
it has now peaCe at home and abroad; it
has passed the point of danger and is on
the way to recovery, and' its upward course
will lie more rapid than cautious or fear
ful men anticipate. Many of the causes
of business prostration and ' loss of confi
dence have disappeared. A check- has
beewnt-last put to the misgovernment and
spoliation of the Southern half of the
Union, and industry once more thrives
and has its reward there. In the North a
great mass of specrtative - epterpriies have
perished, and if the country is still in
debt on their account at least_ further
waste is stopped. We have learned one,
bitter lesson of economy and caution.
But that we are safely past the dangerous
point and on the upward turn all indica
tions prove, and. this - consideration alone
*ill greatly help to relive production and
exchange by re-establishing confidence iii
the future."
THE modest aims of an honest and
efficient public officer are pleasantly
illustrated in a letter of Es-Treasurer
SPINNER written six months ago to
:Mr. E. U. ROBERTS of th Utica
Herald, in which; alluding to a prop
osition of that journal that a sub
scription be raised as a testimo nial
to himself, Mr. SPINNER said : L
" I must from convictions of duty, and from
what I believe to be right and proper, mast respect
fully. decline. the contemplated pecuniary aid as
Propoied. The conviction in my mind that I have
conscientiously done my duty. though not more,
yet my whole duty, to my fellow countrymen, belt
viduany and collectively; and 'The' kracciedge, evi
denced by proof, like your editorkg testimony. is
recompense enough to satisfy fnrtall the cares, anx
ieties. privations and sacrifices that have voluntarily
and cheerfully beenmade,during the bag years of our
struggle for national existence, and ever since that
time. I have but three children to provide for.
Having always bellised that ten thousand dollars
left to a child is as well. if not better, than a much
larger sum. I have, therefore. never desired to: be
rich, or to tette to each of my helm more than that'
amount of money. Unless again overtaken by role:
fortune, through the misconduct of others, I am
now able to do that."

appreciation of my efforts In be half of-the Civil
Rights bill, for which accept my . thanks You
further alik e you be kind enough to inform
me if colored men are entitled to the privileges of
saloons and barbershops under its provisions r
To this I answer YI understand byi'saloons," you ,
mean drinking saloons, and rant happy to say that
the Civil Rights bill does not: give any right — to a
colored man to go into a drinking saloon without
the leave of the proprietor, and I am very glad that
It does not. lam willing to concede, as a friend to
the colored man, that the white race may hare at
• least this one superior privilege to the colored man.
that they can drink In Wrmums and saloon& and I
shall never do anything to interfere with the e act'.
che of that high and distinctive privilege. 1 would
not advocate a bill that should give that right to
the colored man. If I were to vote for any bill on
this subject at all. It would be one to keep. the col
ored man out of drinking saloons; and I hope no
' barkeeper will Over let weaned man have a grass of
liquor at any liar open for drinking. Indeed, I
should be glad, whenever a colored man should go
into a drinking saloon -for the purpose of drinking
at the tar If somebody wand at , once take him and
put him out, doing him as little Injury as possible:
He could do the colored man no greater kindness. •
. The Civil Rights hill has not altered the colored
man's rights at all from what they were before un
der the common law applicable to nearly every State
in the Union. It has only 'given him a greater
power to enforce that tight to meet the exigency of
combined effort to deprive colored citizens of it;
and, all idea that the Civil Rights' bill allows the
colored man to enforce himself Into any mates shop
or info any man's private house or 'into any eat- .
ing hense,•boardlng house or establishment other
than those I tare named Is simply an exhibition of
ignorance as well as, in some cases, of insufferable
prejudice and malignity. And while I would sus
tain any colored man in lirmhy and properly insist
ing upon his rights under the Civil Rights bill,
which were his at common 'aw, as they were the
right of every citizen, yet I should oppose to the
utmost of my power any attempt on the part Of the
colored men td use the Civil Rights bill as a Pre
tenie to Interfere with the private business of pri
vate parties. It Is beneath the dignity of any col
ored =an to do so. and all acts, such as shutting
him out from drinking saloons, may be well left to
ignorant and generally vicious men who keep them
as a badge of their superiority to the colored race.

DEAR UNCLE: I arrived bere'.upm; the nth of

In the shade. ' We left St. Louts with 14 Welles of
snow on the ground, and can hardly' realize the
change. Have grass several Inches high: trees In
leaf, flowers in bloom—in fact, all vegetation as-far
advanced as In our county the middle of June.
Business of all kinds (saloon business excepted) Is
at a stand-stilt—no life, no ',energy, no money. I
noticed the annual report of one of the principal
Mississippi Roads, and their net earnings were
r. 14.67. Understand, this does not Include their
Interest on bonded debt or dividends; It Is simply
'214.67 received over the actual running expenses of
the road. Uncle, the fact Is the greater part of the
Southern States are hoyeleisly bankrupt. There
Is no hope for them only through Northern men
and Northern capital. and Ahem Is but little of
either coming here. To-day a Southerner hates a
Northerner worse than he does the Dertl. A party
remarked tome that they at the South thought
that the West would Join wlth•them agalnst the*
Eastern States. The idea; l We can show one

THERE are few men who now retire
from public life.of their own wont,
a fact which Makes :the recent letter ,
of Senator WRIGHT. of lowa, of
SQMC note. He hasl. signified to his
constituents his- intention of rehiring
at the end'of his present term, which,.
however, will be two Tears hence. In
doing this he takes occasion to urge
upon the party the necessity of rais
ing the standard of Adalifications re
quired of: candidates for public Of
fice. He has observed what is so
apparent to thoughtful Men, not con
cerned in active notifies, that the
people are in earnest in demanding
the!selection of the best men for Of
fice and the withdrawal of the bad
leaders. ,Everywhere, he says, the
people-are demanding that goOd Men
shall come, to the fient and bad men
take hack` - seats. iTo unite and
strengthen': the - party—and make it
again successful he Believes it is only
necessary to give the people such
'candidates as they have confidence in;
- Men of ability and [integrity whose
nominations will give the assur
ance of a purpose the part of
the leaders ta answer the demand
which comes tin from till . quarters.
Ire is quite certain the people have
no desire to repudiate the Republi
can party, and that any such eon
structioni of the elections Of last fall
is short-sighted and ierroneous.

kindly took his patriarehal hand from the
throat of trade: gold if declined, in price;
and general business resumed the indica
tions of activity which it has recently given.
Speculation in all sorto pf commodities is
perfectly legitimate, hilt a conspiracy to
send up the price of gold to 120 or 125 is
air unmistakable injury to die whole com
munity. Deacon Daniel must often have
heard wicked works of this kind denounc
ed an Sunday ;lierhaps he has even lifted
up his voice against. them himself. We
hope he will now try to practice what he
preaches. He at least . kept his business
engagements, yesterday; which .was more
than many people expected. Let him now
try to. turn in• an honest penny without
striking a blow at thejrade of the whole
country."

care that the 1 4 3'615 be faithfully executed :
Now, therefore, 1, John F. Ilartranft,

PENNSYLVANIA'S GOVERNOR.
Tire New York Tribune has devel- I
opefl ajnost• wonderful facility in
diseovering mares' nests of late. It
now says that prominent Democratic
politicians of Pennsylvania are try
ing' to bring forward General Han-
Cock as the Democratic candidate for
Governor next fall. The absurdity
of such a thing is apparent on its
face. The' - Democratic party don't
follow any such lead, and there are
.too many delegates in democratic
State Conventions. who sympathize
too strongly with
,the late rebels to
hurt their. feelinKs by nominating a
!Union general for Governor. Gen
