Why Did the General I)o It I
Ten years ago, when the wires clicked
the news iliat rebels iu Charleston harbor
had opened fire on L'nited States troops
in Sumpter, the pulfe of the Dation fur a
time almost ceased to beat. The fearful
shock was, however, of but a moment's
duration. The heart of the people of
the North was strong and great enough
for the occasion, ami ruee with the crisis
A shout of indignation and wrath rolled
from every valley and hill-side, and
bulbed the arguntenjs in favor of the
Southern cause that had been sophisti
cally advanced by certain leaders of the
Democratic party up t this time.
From the organization of the rebellion
to the firing on Sumpter leading Umo
crats in this and New York and other
Northern States, were as busily and as
speedily as they possibly knew how,
engaged in training public opinion in
favor of the Northern States leaving
out the New England States joining the
South in Case of Seceecion. But the pop
ular beait was not debauched. It was
strong in public virtue, and instead of
the rebel leaders in the North turning
thiir adherents in favor of the seceding
South and reorganizing the government
wholly in the interest of the South, the
rank and file broke away with groans
and derisive cries, and the leaders slunk
out of sight as helpless as children.
General McCandli-ss was a Democrat
at the time of which we write, but he
did not follow the leaders. He went
win. me multitude. . netner it was
palriotiitin, whether it was love of mili
tary glory mrbiti'tn or a belief that
the Democratic party had served its mis
sion, and that the opportune lime to leave
it had arrived, prompted him so to do. is
not for us to say. Why did the Gen
eral do it 1
All opposition to the crumbing of the
rebellion was hushed and silent. Men
volunteered in numbers as they never
had before. General McCandless en
tered the army too. The war raged
Battles were fought, loct and won, with
the weight of the loss on our side. These
defeats gave the sympathizers an oppor
tunity to criticise. They took it They
criticised and denounced fearfully. These
defeats gave them something to talk
abont and find fault with. It imparted
new life to them They commenced to:
reorganize. I uey formed a ring, extend
ing throughout the Northern States
Every little mistake that was made in
the management of the army or in the
departments of the government were
magnified a thousand times by the ring,
to destroy confideure and create distrust
in the minds of the people against the
government. General McCIellan's mis
management brought the seven days'
disaster, and, as a consequence, the sec
ond defeat at Bull Bun and the invasion
of Maryland
These disasters emboldened the old
leaders of the Democracy. They in
creased their denunciation. Their arts
commenced to tell. Men commenced to
gather to their standard. The cry of
" nigger war " was raised. The negro
had been the corner stone of their party
for years ; they could not now give him
up. They reorganized their party. They
put their opposition to the war for the
suppression of the rebellion and the negro
together, and made the combination the
cornerstone of their new organization, and
then raised the cry of " n'gger war" and
other kindred cries. Gen. McCandless is
attracted by the cry. He hesitates. He
stops. He steps out of his place in the
armyt bands over his sword and says, "I
will fight no longer. This is a 'nigger
war.' I won't stand it. I belong to the
White Man's Party.' "
W heiber the General's patriotism was
exhausted, whether his ambition was
blunted, or whether he believed that the
organization that was engaged in crush
ing the rebellion was about to break up,
and the party to which he had belonged
would take its place, is not for as to say.
Why did the General do it T
' The General next entered the political
field as an anti-nigger candidate io the
"White Man's Party." and was elected to
t jie State Senate, wtore he became a first
clae "ring" o0- f bis doing there
we wi'l peak in a future number. Since
then thS 'general haa been a very ardent
member f nA " Whi'e M"n'8 I'rty"
aud tUODS ' bis denunciation of the
pj&eeoth Amendment, until recently,
when he again changed front, aud uow
beads the Democratic State Ticket, with
the Fifteenth Amendment open in his
hand, and eays to the people, "The nig
ger is all right ; let him vote To the
dogs with the White Man's Party."
Whether the General, after awinging
aronnd like a weather-cock on a barn in
changeable weather, haa at last really
settled, or whether he ia only planning
a stroke of policy, ia not for us to say,
but we again ask the question, why did
the General do it 1
Fraaoe.
From present appearances no more
Commuuist leader are to be shot with
out trial. A number are held for trial.
The law exiling the chief members of
tbe Orleans family has been repealed by
the Assembly. They have pledged
themselves not to intrigue against tbe
Republic. Thiers u rapidly gaining the
confidence of all parties. The monarch

iu restoring order, and the people are
heartily accepting him because he has
authoritively announced that be favors

refused to extend his term of office as
Chief Executive of France until after
the supplementary elections, which will
take place on the 2nd of July. One
hundred and thirteen districts will elect
Assemblymen on that that day. Ho
these elections will affect Thiers it is now
impossible to say. The papers vigorous

place six weeks longer, France may

form of government. " So mote it be.''
It is said that Prince Napoleon will be a
candidate, for the Assembly. All tbe
sacred vessels and ornaments taken from
the churches by the Communists have.

The Dayton Journal, published at
Dayton. Ohio, says of the new departure
of the Democracy in that State :
A correct appreciation of the action of
the Pemocratic Convention of Ohio, is
one of the facts fully and clearly estab
lished The platform has fooled no one.
Democrats who have been fighting
against the constitutional amendments
for years, regard with disgust the trick
of tbe Convention, which, while it pre
tends to recognize the amendments, only
abases ihe party by the fraud which
comes in a part of the conditions. The
leaders of that convention have very ngly
records. They wanted to get them out
of sight So it was resolved that the
"dead past" should be buried. That
"dead past"' being their own disgraceful
history as politicians. The masses of
the party will not agree that the leaders
after having for years assailed these
amendments, shall now sneak out of re
sponsibility for their opposition by iseu
ing a funeral invitation to the rank and
file. That sort of trickery wont do
The old liners see through it. They re
gard it as a desertion of Democratic prin
ciples for the sake of getting office, and
repudiate the leaders and their platform
as alike unworthy of support.
The attitude of the R'gUl'-r is quite
interesting. It straightened itself up.

Thb policy Democrats of the McCan

when the war broke out, and "busted the
Democratic organization." The old Dem
ocrats reorganized the party, and called
it the " white man's party" rwhen the
organization again grew strong, and a
prospect for power loomed up. The pol
icy men came back, saying, we now leave
tbe "nigger party " But their united
strength failed to give them power. The

and say, we leave the white man's

Dreadful Storm A Cyclone ia Illinois.
A cyclone occurred near Mason City,
111., last Friday morning. An inky-
hued cloud or smoke like column was ob
served gathering near the earth's surface
on an open prairie, six miles from that
place, and from this colume soon shot out
three narrower and spire-like cloud col
umns, which continued to ascend rapidly
until they reached, and seemed to attach
themselves closely to a passing cloud
This frightful apparition moved slowly
toward .Mason City, but finally changed
its course, much to the relief of the peo
ple of that place. A mile from its track
an orler, much like that of sulphur, was
inhaled by several persons. A gentle
man who stood about a hundred yards
from the cyclone when it pas?ed, small
flashes of electricity were constantly
visible in the storm column, passing from
the earth to tbe clouds above, and that
rapid, poping, crackling reports were
beard, reminding him, most forcibly, of
an infantry regiment in battle, firing
their muskets as fast as possible.
The pathway of tbe cycloue was near
ly three miles iu length and from twenty
to eighty feet in width, and in that path
way not a spear of grass, stalk of corn
or wheat, not a sbrub nor a particlj of
vegetation was left alive. For some dis
tance the earth was literally plowed np
to a depth of six inches. The column
of whirling air must hav been intensely
hot, as every green thing in its path was
dried to a crisp.
SkvkkaL Worcester, Masrachusetts,
manufacturing firms are said to make a
speciality of mining boots. A long-leg-ed
boot made for the Pennsylvania mines
is the most durable piece of furniture
ever constructed of leather and iron.
The soles are about three-quarters of an
inch thick, projecting like the guards of
a Mississippi steamer. The heels also
project nearly a quarter of an inch form
ing quite a shelf near the centre, and are
flared at the bottom. Nails with a flat
top, a size smaller than a three cent
piece, are driven in as closely as they
can be set all over the sole, shank and
heel, forming as it were, a solid iron bot
tom. These boots weigh six aud a hall
pounds, and the iron nails make one-hall
the weight. Long nails of Sweedieh
iron are driven through tbe heel and
shank, clinched on the inner sole ; three
to the heel and six to tbe shank. , The
sides are closed by hand with a six-
stranded thread that would bold two
hundred pounds weight.

none of which, however as far as was
known, took effect. The party finally
retired without accomplishing their ob
