lieu. Wade's View of the Situation.
"Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial,
has had a talk with Ben. Wade. which he
fully reports in that paper of Wednesday.
The following extracts are quite interest
ing.. Speaking of the late elections, Wade
says:
"Because we have been whipped on the
first trial; I suppose some of the-weak•kneed
brothers will be backing out on that question.
But I won't back a d--(1 inch. I'm for it now
RS strong as I was before the election, and
stronger too, because there is more need of
being for it, to conquer a m6an prejudice.
But yOu'll see men trying to hush the thing
."it to smother it, and to dodge it in every
way they can, and men who call themselves
Radicals, too. Hell's fun of am% Radicals as
we'll have now. I'm for it because I
it's Tight,and I know it's right; and if a thing
is right, the only wit ,- is to keep at it till it
wins, for it's sure torwin sometime or anoth
er. There is not a great reform in the histo
ry of the world that wasn't unpopular at first.
And not one of them was ever carried by
dropping it and running like scared hounds
from it, after it was beaten once. No, sir; we
ate e.ommiated to universal suffrage, and no
man Is a Republican who would desert it now.
But although that's my belief, mark my
word, there'll be the damndest crawfishing
you ever saw front this time forward. Well,
let them go. We can win withffut them, and
we will win, too, just as sure as the Almighty
is just; and heaven above us. It will become
harder every year for the Copperheads to
beat us on that issue, and they won't beat us
on it very . often.either, if we only make a Rohl
front, and go at 'em with flied bayonets every
time."
I=
"The nigger whipped us," said Mr. Wade,
"We went in on principle, and got whipped.
We should have carried the State by a good
majority if it hadn't been for the sutTrag,e is
sue. Still. lam not sorry we made the-issue.
If it was to do over again, ref be for
_putting
it again, and I'll be for ketiping it up until we,
do win, for, by the eternal they can't
beat 119 all the time on a,question like that.
I had no idea there - were so many Republi
cans in Ohio who were willing to see negro
suffrage in the -South, but wouldn't let - the
few niggers of Ohio rote. That's what got me.
They all seemed in favor oftt as a measure of
reconstruction, just as much as I was. I didn't
dream they'd be mean enough to vote against
it here."
- In answer to a question as to whether he
thought the greenback issue had anything to
do with the defeat, Mr. Wade said, "he didn't
'think it had. It was nothing but the nigger.
The 'greenback issue was not fairly before the
people, for when you come to sift the matter
the Democratic speakers Made very little of
an issue on the greenbacks. The nigger was
the only strong point jhey had, and they beat
us on that; fair and square; but they'll have
to keep on beating us, for we'll give them no
peace till we heat them." . -
I=E!MM=IMI!ITE:a
Speaking of abandoning negro suffrage,
Wade says : "Never in God's world.
,So‘far
as my vote goes, we will never abandon any
thing weve done there, but will goTurther
and make it worse for the rebels if they don't
Tiehave themselves better. It is simply absurd .
to talk of making States without the negro
vote in the South," -
DON'T KNOW NvnERE GIi!LNT STANDS
Referring to Preside. mi mat ters,Mr. Wade
said it bad looked to him for a year past as
if the Republican patty would take Grant up
for President, and run hint in with a hurrah.
He was sorry to see that disposition, and be
lieved no good would come from it. "The
trouble with Grant is," said he, "you don't
know where he stands. It seems very singu
lar that a man could have lived through this
terrible war without identifying himself with
any party, and that men pretending. to be
Republicans, should try to rush him into the
While House without asking him a single,
question as to where he stands on the great
issues now before the country. Still, I have
felt it in my bones'-that they would do that
very thing.'
I asked`Mr. Wade if he had ever conversed
with Gen. Grant on political topics.
"I have tried to do it," said he, "hut I nev
er could bring hint out. When I saw the pop
ular current appearing to run in his favor I
thought I would like to know how he stood
on the great questidns before uswhether he
was for Johnson or Congress, or what the
devil-he was for ; but I never Could gut any
thing out of him. As quick as I'd talk poli
tics he'd talk horses, and lie could talk for
hours on that without getting tired. Well,
horses are very goocl, but in these times a man
may be all right on horses anti all wrong on
politics. Grant may lie all right for what I
know, but-then again he may he all wrong.
If he wants to be President by my voice, and
`the voice of the men I-act with, he Must not
.only be right, but he must prove that lie is."
* "We won't take any man's word
after what we've gone through. Grant must
come out and show his hand as a pronemnced
Republican or he can't- get my support. I
don't know that my support amounts to much
but what little there is of it will go in the
right direction.
"If Grant -wants the Presidency let him
come out like a man and say which side he
LS On, and-if lie is strong enough on our side
we'll elect him. Ilut• it is neither wise nor
necessary for us to run an available-candi
date. We will ht im - the southern Stans re
organized by that time,,and they will vote
right. Then we can rely on enough North
ern States to insure the election of our man,
whoever he may he. •
DIDN'T KNOW 13E7 ;TIIAT LINCOLN WAS
GOING TO ItUN A 1110 , TIOTEI
During our conversation, the subject of
Mrs. Lincoln and her recent disgraceful con
duct came up, and, remembering that Mr.
Wade was one of a committee appointed by
the two Houses to; investigate the pecuniary
condition in which Mr. Lincoln's family was
left, and report a bill for their relief, I asked
him if it was true; as slated by Mrs. Lincoln,
that Mr. Lincoln left little orno property be
hind him. "No," said lie, "its a d-11 lie. We
looked into the matter very carefully. The
Illinois men wanted us to give her one hun
dred Thousand dollars, and we agreed to do
so, if it appeared :that she really needed it.
We sent for the administrator of the estate,
and he testified that Mr. Lincoln left seventy
five thousand dollars in Government bonds,
or something like that, besides some little
productive property in Springfield, Illinois—
m all about one honored thousand dollars.
We thought, then, that twenty-five, thousand
dollars would be enough—the same as was
*paid to the widow of General Harrison. Mrs.
Lincoln was very well off and didn't need
even what she got. She took a hundred
boxes of something or other—l don't know
what—away with tier, and the Com,nission
.er of Public Buildings swore that there
were fifteen Other boxes that she wanted to
carry'-off, and he Lad to interfere to prevent
her. At any rate she cleaned out the White
House. I didn't know• but that she was
going to run a big hotel with• all she carried
off."
WuEn .kiteni; .Wt id was in Virginia
City, Nevada, the hardy.piotieers forced gra
tuitous whiskey on him every three minutes
during his stay. :When he came to go away
they surrounded the coach and cheered him.
lie mounted the vehicle and said, "Good-bye.
Take care of yourselves. I was never in a
place in my life where I was treated as well
as I have been here, nor, I may add, so
often." •

Domestic Relations in Germany,
It is permitted, tinder no cirennotaaes,
except where theparties are enga,ged, - -that a
gentleman should accompany a lady to a
theatre, ball or concert, and should it happen,
the lady would be declared infamous, and
thrown out of all good society. Thi.re are
no evening visits made, and, above all, it js
forbiddemthat a young man should call up
on his young lady acquaintances: in fact,
a gentleman can have no lady friends, as-he
can never come in contact with them except
at halls, where it is under the greatest re.
straint. Marriage is reduced to a business
contract. A young man sees a lady at a ball,
takes a fancy to her looks; inquires , who her
parents are, how ranch money they have,
and how much the lady will get at her mar
riage. If the conditions suit him; i. e„ if he
likes the looks of the animal, and the pertin
enzen arc to his mind, he visits the parents
and pleposes to marry the daughter. The
parents make inquiries respecting his posi
tion, and especially respecting the quantity
of money he may possess. Should the re
ports be favorable, they refer.to the daugh
ter, tell her the conditions, and if they suit
her, they am declared to be engaged. Cardi
in the form: ufferr Iftteller, Pre:stria Sekta
engaged,"' are :Immediately sent to their
friends: The is also proclaimed
from the pulpit. From this time they Stand
to one another in the. relation of Braid and
Braatipm—bride and bridegroom—but not
innur sense of the words, as this relation
ceahesand they lose these appellations at the
marriage. . -
The gentleman now has a right to visit the
lady when he pleases, which he is expected ,
to do every evening. He can accompany
her in public; to balls, concerts, as he
pleases. In fret, he must now improve ids
time to fall in love with her. No other man
can dance with her, or have 'anything to do
with her, without 1114 consent. Should the
Brantigam break the engagement and refuse
to marry her, the Brunt can sue and obtain
damages for breach of promise, but this she
never does, as the German idea of honor
would not allow it. Should the Brunt ac
cidentally have a child—for accidents will
happen—it is illegitimate. but is legitimized
pe,,,,bvtpmeas mairiffimmiqui. By the mar
riage the contract i, complete, and, accord
ing to the 'old German maxim, the husband
is Herr—lord of the house. She is complete
ly under his control, which control is often
harsh. - She becomes a machine to work and
to have children. We have no women's
right women over berm.. They baye no
rights, and knowing it, they are content with
it, and make no noise about it.
Notwithstanding ail these restraints upon
society, we cannotsay that the- Germans, as
a class, are virtuous ; and - it seems to us that
they arc conscious of this themselves, and
therefore place the restraints upon the inter
course between gentlemen and ladies. The
principle on which- they set m to go is; if a
young - man can only get with a young wo
man, he can seduce her: and the animus is
never wantinc•
apart until they are engaged, when they have
the freest intercourse, it not making much
difference what new happen, as ,they are
looked upon 'l - rt:` all a, half married.
Should a man marry one of the several
sisters, and his wife dies, he will, if possible,
marry one of the remaining sisters. We
have heard of a man who married through a
family of four sisters, one after the other.
They think by this course the children of
the first wife will be better eared for than if
they were to marry a person Out of the fam
ily.
A Severe,Rebuke.
Senator Wilson, some weeks ago, hi a
speech delivered at Saratoga, said : "There
is not a democratic flag floating from the
Potomac to Florida." - In reply to this a
Democratic soldier of New York, said : "The
undersigned remembers when then , was n
'Democratic flag floating' from the Potomac
to Florida; and that flag was the Star Span
gled Banner, and the time when the Demo
cratic flag was floating from the Potomdc to
Florida was on the 4th of July, 1t356. The
Democrats of the town of Natick, the resi
dence of Senator Wilson, hung out the flag
at the same time, but he, instead of partici
pating in the celebration of the Birthday of
the American Republic' in hisi own town,
was present at the anti-slavery' meeting in
Sontu Framingham, In the same county, and
clapped his hands when William Lloyd Gar
rison, Wendell Phillips, Parker Pillsbury,
Elizur Wright, and a host more, now very
Leval Union men, spit upon the Constitution
of the United States, then, throwing it to
the ground trampled it beneath their ,feet,
then consigned it to the flames and burned
it to ashes, and these ashes they again tram
pled upon. I remember this incident, 'to
day, just as clearly as I remember the other
fact that at a meeting in Tremont Temple,
February, 1861, Carl Schurz slandered
George "Washington as a slave-holding old
fogy, and that the whole audience clapped
applause with their patriotic ,hands, anti on
both occasions I never saw either the flag of
the country or any other flag—the Danocrat
ic flag—of course not. But when John
Brown was hung I have seen the flag of the
country lowered at half-mast, and that in the
town where the, Hon. Senator resided ; and
that insult to the National flag was not per
petrated by the Democrats, but by the party
of which Mr. Wilson is a leader."

werejust budding into womanhood—when
he asked the other if he hada family. "Yes,
sir, I have a wife and six children in New

this the couple sat a few moments in silence,

"Were von ever blind, sir ?" "No, sir."

"Wby," was the response, "one of them was

P.V.LITYSJI TO MAIMAGE.
—Among the antiquated laws and customs
of some of the smaller German States, which
will be abolished ou their annexation' to
Prussia, not the least curious are those relat
ing to marriage, In Electoral Hesse, no man
was allowed to marry it under twenty-two
years of age, and no woman if under eigh
teen. The result of this severe law is, that
'while in other countries girls try to make
people believe that they are "sweet and sev
enteen." for many years after they have left
school, the Hessian young ladies often de
clare they are eighteen years ofd before they
have reached that age. The Prussian wither
ides, however, will 'Change all that, the - law
of Prussia making the minimum marriage
able age eighteen fur a man and fourteen for
a woman. In Wurtemburg a man is. not al
lowed to marry. under twenty-five,exidept by
special dispenwidn. A curious law, said to
date front the time of the Visigoths, alsotex
ists in that country, forbidding any woman
to marry a man twelve years younger than
herself. In other German States similar zn
dmalies occur. Thus, in Saxony, the mini

RETURN -RosAyn.tx Maui.—The Marietta
Register is responsible for the following :
We call to mind a story we read in our lic3y
hood; in a book about Connecticut, the native
State of Colonel Meigs, which told how he
received his Christian name. Jonathan Meigs
a young man, was "paying attention to a
young lath- in the vicinity of his home." On
one occasion he had been to "see" her. Dur
ing the visit she "dismissed" him, but follow
ed him to the door. As he was slowly going
away from the house, looking very sorrow
fully, the young lady's heart relented, and
she called out, "Return Jwwilian Ile was
but too happy to comply/ and they were
shortly married. The first-born, in commem
oration of this. 'Occasion, received the name
of "Return Jonathan Meigs." This child
grew up to be Colonel Return Jonathan
Meigs, of the "Connecticut Line," in the ar
my of the Revolution, afterward one of the
agent surveyors of, the Ohio Company, and
one of the pioneers of Marietta, in April,
1788. Ile died in 1822. His son, Return
Jonathan Meigs, Jr., became distinguishel
in politics as Judge, 'United States Senator,
Governor of Ohio and Postmaster General.
WHEN Aaron Burr returned to New York .
city to practice law, alter his voluntary exile
in Europe, he found the late' Rev. Jedediali
Burchard, then a celebrated revivalist, hold

tinnily church. Ile attended from habit, al
ways went late, and disturbed the services by
attracting to himself the attention of the au
dience on account of his infamous notoriety
as the man who shot Alexander Hamilton,
and who had been tried for treason. Mr.
Burchard resolved to rebuke him openly.
The next Sabbath, when he came in and got.
about half-way up the aisle, the Clergyman
paused in his discourse, anti pointing to Col
onel Burr, s:rld in the most scathing manner:
"You hoary-headed old sinner, 11l appear
against you nt the (lay of judgment !" The
proud, defiant old man, standing as erect as
ever, with that perfect composure which
never deserted him, and fixing his fine grey
eyes on the occupant of the - pulpit, replied ;
"Mr. Burchard, I 11,4ve observed through a
long course of proEssional experience, that
the very meanest class of criminals are those

Boys.—When they are boys—arc queer
enough. How many ridiculous notions they
have, and what singular desires, which in af
terlife change and shape themselves into
characteristics: Who remembers when he'
would have. sold his birth-right for a rocking
horse, and his new suit of clothes for a mon
key ?- Who forgets the sweet-faced girl,older
than himself, against whose golden hair he
leaned and wept his grief away? Who rec

rider appeared greater than to be the Presi

tle fellows that wore spangled jackets_ and
turned somersets, and prayed - to becotne like
them ? If memory preserves not these ca
pacities, or something similar, the boy is lost
in the man. Happy visions, they come but
once, and go quickly, leaving us even to
sigh for a return of what can never be
A MYSTERY EXPLATSED...-ReV. Mr. Grace
-10.-of Lawrence, is a bachelor. Noticing
early in the spring that one of his members,
a married lady, was not at meeting for sever
cal Sabbaths, be called to ask the reason. As
her reply was somewhat evasive, he surmised
that she "had nothing to wear," and said:
"You are waiting for your spring bonnet, I
suppose." Weeks passed, and still she did
not make her appearance. He therefore
thought lie would call again. Approaching
the house, he saw her sitting at the open
window, and blandly remarked: "Good
morning. Have you received your spring
bonnet vet ?" "Yes, sir," she archly" replied.
"Shall I shdlv it to you ?" "If yod please,"
answered the wondering-pastor. Holding up
a wee bit of a baby, she said, blushing : "This
is the spring, bonnet I was.waiting for; slid I
do right?"
A. CHANTICLEER THAT K:s - v . .w SOMETHING.
—A. Democrat in a neighboring rural district
says that on the evening - of! the election, just
about seven o'clock, the hill& for closing the
polls, be was sitting down to tin, when he
told his wife he believed he would go to the
eity.to hear the election news. . "It may be
bad," said` she. "If I thought so I wouldn't
go," he replied. Just then,an old- rooster,
that Tanis his nights on a tree close to the
house, commenced crowing lustily, and con
firmed for some time. The occurrence was
so unusual 'a one for a cock to crow When he
WAS just gone tolls roosting place, that the

and he did - 71), and was so elated at finding
the old cock was right, that be didn't get

PREDE.ATINATIOX. - A. Missouri paper con
tains the following which will pass without
much urging: "Do you believe in predesti
nation ?" said a captain of a Mississippi
steamer to a Calvinistic clergyman who hap
pened to be traveling with him. "Of course
I do." "And you also believe what is to be

hear it." "Why I" `Because I intend to pass
that boat ahead in fifteen minutes, if there be
any virtue in pine knots and loaded safety
valves. So don't be alarmed, for if the bilers
ain't to bust, they won't." Here the divine
commenced putting on his hat and began to
look - like backing out, which the captain
seemingly observed. "I thought you believed
in predestination, and what is to be will e?

WIFE and I were looking at some pictures
in which little naked angels were quite con
spicuous. She called the attention of our
wee daughter to them and remarked "Ll -
v.., dear, If you are a-- good girl, and go to
Heaven, you will be like these angels." MIT
looked up, with a lip that told at once she
didn't appmciate the promise, and said: "I
want to be better dressed than that when I
go to Heaven!"
