cians as, the test of. greatness.. The
earth there was -monotonously- parched
in summer, and monotonously muddy at
all other times. i The forests were gigan-;
tie, and when the citizens wiehod to giie
Thompson City ithe,highest commend
ation, they did so by saying that " fever
nagur" was worse in some other places. ,
In the parlor of Mrs. Ruggles, which
was also her kitehdn and dining hall,
hung a frame containing asevon.by nine
mirrOr, which was the frame's excise
for being, although a compartment above
and ono below held squares of glass
covered with paint instead of mercury.
The lower one was colored like the con
tents of a washtub after a liberal use of
indigo ; and in the centre wee a horizon
tal stroke of red, surmounted by a per
pendicular dash of white, -intersected by
an oblique lino of black—all of which
represented a red boat with awhite sail
and black spar, making an endless voy
age across the lake of indigo. The black
crosses in theisky were birds. The black
lines on the, loft were bulrushes. And
among these bulrushes a certain gloomy
little object was either a Hebrew prophet
or a muskrat. ,
Above the miror was painted a long
tailed coat, from behind which extended
a hand holding a bell-crowned bat, to
whose scarlet lining the holder seemed
inviting the spectator's •particulat at
tention. There were also a pair of legs
and books,:a heavy chock of hair, a laby
rinth of neciccloth, and. a florin human
taco. Under the boots webs the words :
ISAECILDB DE LA PAYETTE.
And the beholder was ever •in doubt
whether the Marquis was trying to stand
exclusively - upon this title,, or was tin-:
consciously trampling it into the ground.
Mrs. Ruggles admired. this picture..
Her 'knowledge , of Frank' was not ireet,
but her ear was delicate ; and thinking,
the . words "sounded liandsOrne,". she
had deliberately conferred thorn' con' her
first-born. ,When in good huin r cir, : tshe,

BPEECIITYSE2 17:OR HORTO11;
OF INDIANA,
iSox-OE-?ARTIER. '
SEEM
A. semi:vie was given to Senator, ilfor,
ton last Saturday night. a , lweek,..-in
Washington, in which' ho spoke 'as fol
lows :
The Southern people, - said he, aro
Committed to Slavery,' because they
have declared that, Pia Very, Was wrongly
and illegally abolished. The third re
sult of such a triumph would , be the dis
franchisement .of the colored, people,
taking from them the right ersuffragel .
They would be Ablo to disfranchise
the colored mon in sixty days.' They
would dO it now' were it not that the
,Government is in the hands of Republi
cans. Having, the military power, they
would , drive the colored man from the
polls, or vote theirdisfranchisornent. If
uot, they would reduce then to filavery, •
or to serfdom; what aro to be the issues
in 1872? It is said in the Senate that
tbo Reeonetruction aka Ste of no more
effect than if passenfly a mob or a toWn
meeting, and that the amendments are
fraudulent. The Democrats have never
laccepted' these _amendments, with the
exception here end" there 'of a news
paper, like the New York. World, which
is wiser than most of its friends. The
15emocraticparty,--3Cortli-and-ScMtli T are
Unanimous against suffrage and civil
r ghts to the colored people.
' Another point ii, shall Republicans in
'the SeiithliVtilit'peace and 1,1,e protected
,in life, liberty and proporty ? This is a
great question. They are struggling for
this protection to-day. , The Democrats
Say they are against Xatianiil banks; yet
they
,would not restore , the old State'
banks., They say; they .aro for:, free
'trade, yet they do not say that money to
support the . Gevernmeut . shall he r raisedf
by direct taxes: . They are not .in har
mony with the, tariff. , The Dopmerats
aro in favor of high duties where there is
anything to protect, and free trade every
where else, [laughter,] but they dare .
not carry it out in ite results, Although
our distinguished Chief Magistrate is
hare, [applause] I can. safely say, we
have not-had a better 'adininistration in
half a century, if we over had a bettor
one before.. [Applause.] We may,
however, have had es good. When the
Republic was smaller every department
was administered with ability, integrity
'and success.. tinder this • administra
tion,Wo have funded the debt at a lower
rate Of interest thaii the old bonds, and
the prospect is the now brinds will soon
ho subscribed to their full limit. In 25
months $204,000,000 of the public debt
,have been paid off.. An:annual interest
of $12,00,000, has thus been saved.
During 'these 25. months Congress has
repealed taxes to the extent of over.
$83,600,600, and by_ retrenchment in
every , prat of - the Governmeitt, large
some of money have been ,saved, _which
liave , heretofore been squandered . ; and
by a:Successful am' honest.,e,iforeomont
of the revenue ,laws a' larger sum has
been collected from smaller taxation
tiled tinder' 'r;rovious 'Administrations,
, .„ .
and the work ,will still go on. At the
next session the Republicans will make,
furtherrreducltions, and modify the tariff
in important particulars. ' '
I voted 'against The repeal .07 the
come' tax because I thought the time
had not arrived ter it, but if the 'Admin.
ietration goes on with the same success
in'the future as in the, past, Thelieve
shall repeal it at.the next seaside!. [Ap
plause.] We cannot do everything at
once';' we ilo not - pretend that can
repeal all,taxes, bocaueo the yaiblic credit
must be :maintained, and the govern-
Ment supported. Our Democratic) friends
eaythi3y.clin'abolisli all taxes, and carry
,on theGevernment by a sound policy—
we
cannot do that. [Laughter.] ,

In conclusion Senator. Morton said. there,
wore present distinguished friends whom,
thecrowd would be glad, to bear,. among
them 'the Vice President from ‘his, own
State s a gentleman who presides over-the
Senate , With. h and
rePresentatives from 'lndiana • who,. bad
feithfully served the 'country for years.
Ono word about tire Diritriet otD o l u mbhil
ItWas said hi the Senate. that' the Re
' publicans had shovin their distrust for
colored saffrage , , by passing the: bill
estaUlisliiiig ii"Terifterial Governient.
:There, was not a word of, truth :in thfs.
For'tho first time, the people. here were
,empowered to elect theirLegislatare and
makcitheir own'O 1 - ers; and acia their
delegate tetengress. The Democratic
- oity,, during long years; of rule never
C9ncOved: . the idea of self-government
for the 'people of this:District. it must
'be remembered that this is the gift of
thb Itepnblican party. The last linger
ingargumont of the Democrats is an ap
peal te:tho white peopleto raise prejudice
'against' colored. That has been their
meat and drink for the last thirty years,
but he was• glad to learn Abet their
raticeni had - become nearly exhausted.
[Laughter and applause.]
A HAD PICTURH.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says : The
tendency of intemperance, when nn
-cheolced by legal anactmeuts,, is con
stantly to grow. It seems as if human
'reason And self-restraint were inade
gusto to resist the . temptations afforded
by drink. Education does not seem to
exert a -restraining influence, but rather.
the reverse, apparently- because one
offeet of intellectual development is,con
stautly tomeatonew wants and cravings
and with them new disappointments;
for which drink gives a dangerous alle
viation. It is partly from this cause
that the highly educated Northern
countries tend more to intemperance
than the - less:educated Southern ones.
ln-America, statistics . -are loss care_
fully gathered and preserved than iu
Europe, and.therefora we are constantly
obliged to go across the'srator for defi
nite, figures. In Sweden, the relaxation
orold restraining onactmentaLas greatly
increased the use of figUres.. ACcord
ingly it is found thatone-half .the antiro
Population .drink brandy to an extent
that averages over half. a pint daily to
each, viz,: from 180 to 235 pints per an
'num. The result of. this makes itself
known in eyed. way, as might be ex
pected, especially' in disease, - dernorall-`
zation and death. But taking mortality
Oily as a test of its influence, wo find
.that in Erkistuna, where excessive
drinking prevails, the mortality is one
in thirty-three annually, whilst in Jamt-.
land, where the population .is more so-.
ber, the deaths occur in vastly less pro
portion. Suicide is a common result of
drinking, and in Erkistuna, the propor
tion of suicides rises to 1 in each 57
death's,' Crime has increased fifty per
cent. • ----
What occurs in Sweden is but a typo
of what goes on everywhere around us.
Au intelligent clergyman residing in a
neighboring city, whoso \ opportunities
for observing were very extended, once .
said to us, that in America there was no
poverty, except what came from idle
ness, disease and drink. With us, every
journeyman mechanic who has average
health, ought to own - his own house by
the time. ho is twenty-six • or twenty
eight years old: If he does not, the
Cause may be'in most cases 'charged to
drink. Ho, may never drihk to intoxi
cation, but the occasional glass and the
treating of others will exhaust that sur
plus of wages, whieli, if carefully in
vested in• a •building association,- would
have secured the house. Two hands in
-our 'own employ, succeeding each other
at the eamo work, well illustrated this.
The one never touched , liquor ; by tho
time he was twenty-five,-he married-and
had a house to take his Wife to: The
other diddrink . occasionally, and, though
the more induistritins man of the two,
and tlimmore 'Valuable and bettor paid,
had, whets -he married, at about :the
tame. age,_little _to depend upon but-his
.corient , yrages.
The proportion spent is often surpris
ing:" One-third of-all that Is earned is.a
common proportion to go to the dram'
shop.. .The 'owner' of,: a large brielc- .
making establishment once made for us
a careful estimate of the aggregate ex
penditure of his men in this way ; at a;r
oraged about the proportion just named,
and thus more thaM half-of his Arion
threw away their chances .of indepond- .
enco and , a comfortable home. .FOir of
them, 'perhaps, were eVa , seen drunk ;
yet, nevertheless, the , moat of thorn, in
it.:bad of providing, comfortable homes
for a healthy .old , age, ,wero preparing
diseateerbodies for a future in the.jail
or the alms-holing.'
