It is idle to talk about the act disfranchising Rebels being a Radical measure, inaugurated by Sumner and Stevens! at . Washington. It is the time-hondred doctrine and practice of the fathers of the Revolution, who,! at' tho close of that eventful struggle, 'disfran chised the Tories of that day, who answer to the Rebels of our day. [Loud -cheer ing ] 511 Y recollection 'of the history t f those times is, that both signed bills dia. franehising Tories. The same was done, if I wistake not, by the Legislatures of Virginia land North Carolina, and even South Ca'rolina. "Upon! this platform, however, for the first time since the Rebellion was begun, we have ell iot•together—Radicals, Con• servatives, ; Copperheads, ;weak-kneed Union tiler',] and Rebels. We radicals are all f 4 the franchise law; the other classes named are all for Johnson. It is not to bdpresunied that any would be for Johnsonlivh i o are not for his doctrine, and we know! thit he ibauvrated the doctrine in Tennessee of , disfranchising Rebels. Among his last utterances before he left here, sole ( thirteen months ago, he de clared alai, ;if there were but 5,000 loyal men in Tennessee, they should control the . State; 1 and all the time that this measurelhailbeen pending; ' he has beeti r,ipresened i by those who; have had fre quent ietetviews with him. as wanting the Legislature to hurry up the franchise law. ViTe tire, therefore upon this plat form, add hope to present not only 5,000, bat ten times 5,000 loyal men to govern the Statp. ; ' I 'Let us ,'then, I one and all, keep our ii stand i)onl the President's platform of governing the States with loyal men, makingi treason odious, and punishing traitors .1 Upon Ais platform I took my stied I. l pagl since, ;and here I will stand, and upon this I intend to fight it out, not only all!

Nye,Senitor Nof Nevada, in his speech last week, drew the foilowiog touching picture : s' Tlirce weeks ago I went over to Ar lingtoe Heights. I counted there a great many graves, and they told me there were fourteen thousand - deado dieth reposing k e'T upon the Heights of rlington. Early in May, 1861, I stood upon those heights and there was not a grave there. The in quiry naturally arose in .my mind, why are so ,m'any here now ? Ii found a quick and ready answer in a recurrence to the terrible revolution of the last four years. Therelie mingled the remains of Rebels and tbel remains of Union men. I noticed not unfrequently as I passed along, the inscription "unknown" on the head board of thel Union soldier. Sir, in behalf of that unknown soldier I require prudence at the hands ofljthis Congress. There I got the inspiration, if I may use the ex pression, of extreme caution. I stand here the advocate of that unknown soldier and iii his name and by his memory Ille tnand'of the Congress of the United States that they shall tread cautiously in this great work of binding .up the wounds of the country. Irt the name of all the dead I demand it. In the name of mourning millions I require at the hands of every bcidy who is engaged in this work to see to it that it is done in such a way as to render a recurrence of this terrible rebel lion impossible. Stain not again the fair fields'of this country with loyal blood; rear no more hecatombs of loyal bones ; but stand here in this breach made by them as the .Romans stood, firm and do terminud, that what you do shall be well done, and that it shall not require doing ac e ,min. If all these recollections are got enough, in the name of the martyred Bin coin I demand pruderies at the hands' of the American Government. If that) is not enough, I demand it in the name', of the mangled living. 'My friend from Wisconsin will pardon me, having great faith as be says, in the ficiaUresult, if I call his attention to ano ther'view. Sir, bernd • the grave we shall` meet an army of three hundred thousand dead, who_will never again an swer' to roll call on earth, but in the day, of judgment they will be there.. In their name and by their memory, by the im mortal death they. died and lives they lived, I demand the Congress and every department of this Government shall tread cautiously in this great work of recon struction. Sir, my mind is made up. En counter whatever opposition it may, from whatever source, I will be prudent. By all the ; sacred recollections of the past, I demand caution. By all that is garnered' up in the rich treasure•house of the future, I demand caution. In the name of liber ty and freedom itself and its perpetuation, I demand caution at every step you take. Ruch not madly on to any policy. See where your strength lies, and follow that. See where the right lies, no matter whose policy it may be, and follow it though the beavens fall. "Sir, I entertain no fears for the future of this coantry. It is written by the fin ger of Omnipotence himself that thfs na- , two is to be the freest, noblest, happiest nation of the earth. Through whatever tribulations we may have to go, I see through the mists and the fogs of the present its coming glory, in the future. This continent is destined and dedicated a , the abode of a happy andl free people. If our sufferings have not been sufficient briog us to the true consideration of what is demanded at our hands, it may be, that we shall be called upon to wade through still deeper afflictions; but, sir, the sprit of this people will rise with the demand. It will carry on toy perfection the great work commenced by cur fathers here of making this the abode of the free and the home of the oppressed of every race and clime. Some people maintain thati.a lawyer's Position is doubly perilous, because he has often other people " deeds" to account for as well as his own. SPIRITS OF A GRAMMARIAN.—Tho best anecdote .pf syintualism we have beard for some ttme is the following ‘ which occurred at a seance of Davenport broth ers in London A gentleman was asked if he would like to call a spirit. "I should," the gentleman replied. "Whose 7" asked the medium. . "Lindley Murray's l" Lindley Murray's ghost appeared erect right through the table. The gentleman shuddered. 411 trembled. The medium was' visibly affected. , "Are you the spirit of Lindley Murray asked the_ gentleman, astonished at his owu courage in thus addressing a visitant of the lower world. "Ye. 4 I are !" boldly responded Lindley Murray's ghost. . DEMOCRACY IN ILLINOIS. 1 The Chicago Times announces that the DeMocratic State Central Committee have decided not to hold a "Democratic" State Convention,and not to run a "Democratic" ticket in that State. The "Democratic" party was run too fai l into the ground at the last election to emerge as a live or ganization so soon. But it is to reappear as a ghost, which will be, in the opinion of the committee,munh more appropriate. The, Times says it is resolved to hold "a State Convention, to be composed of dele gates who deprecate the disunion schemes of the Radical faction of the Republican party, and who desire to support, in the most, efficient manner the patriotic policy of the President on the question of the speedy restoration ,of the Union." We suppose the new concern may prop erly be called the Illinois "deprecatory party." At any rate, here is a clear aban donment of the Democratic" name and party organization,and an attempt to start a new organization,with delegates,olected by anybody and everybody who can be coaxed in, who are to ''deprecate the dis union schemes of the Radical faction," etc BOILED DOWN'. , The Chicago Tribune .las read the cop perhead platform . of Indiana, and con denses it as follows : 1. Secession played out. Hence the rein are as good as'ever. 2. Andrew Jobson's our man. 3. Congress should be cleaned put 4. We're against the tariff. • 5. Let Government tax its'iiivn debt,by way of helping it to borrow. 6. We won't pay our rebel debt. 7. Let the soldiers vote our ticket and we'll give him higher bounties for voting than he ever got for fighting. ' S. If Republicans descirt to our camp we'll share our mess witWthern—such as it 18.' • 9. If a nigger votes the country's gone up. 10. Nigger keep out of Indiinna. 11. Rebels, traitors, Sons of Liberty and horse thieves welcome. 12 Eight, hour's is a days work.: ' 132 Let every man do as he pleases. 14. Except that none but Democrats must steal. 15. Liquor all around and let the tem perance men dry up. • 16. Our old Hen, in. the Senate and three chickens in the Rouse, were the best cocks in the pit. But Voorhees is a dead pullet. 17. All debts due to black men must be paid to white men, on the principle that a negrocan't own property, and never ebuld. • &farmer objected to the eight hour 1 clause, but finding it was put men for gam. ion and that by hiring his en to do a day and a half's work ;io a day be could get twelve hours work instead of teo, he , succumbed. CALlFortsrA.—Colonel Forney, Secre tary of the Senate,has received from thin. Fredrick E. Lowe,Governor of California, a lithographic copy of the resolution of the Legislature of that State ratify , the amendment to thei Constitution of the United S.ates abolishing slavery,together with a lac simile of the signatures of the officers and also of the members who voted on the proposition. At: the head of this beautiful memorial, emblematical, of tri umphant freedom,two female figures stand one on each of the open and amended Constitution of the - United States. The Genius of Liberty on the left, holds in one band a broken fetter, while with the other she extends the olive branch of peace over the open volume. On the right is another female lepresenling Peace, hold ing the sun in one hand land the sickle in the other,and surrounded-With the various symbols of industry,the arts and sciences. The American eagle, clasping tie wreath of victory, in its beak and the outspread flag in its talons, surmounts; the group. It is altogether a fine specimen of the in genuity and skill of the California en gravers, and happily figurative of the great legislative, act it commemorates. It is to be framed and hang up in the office of the Secretary of the Senate.—Press. The M exican General Santa Anna arrived in t his country, the other day. OCR AMERICAN GIRLS. They are girls from the very first— never children.), They have their little "beaux" at seven yearslold, and carry on minature flirtations before they get into Algebra and 'Jong dresses. Pretty; bat pale; fair and fragi l le, they are just what you would imagine might be fashioned out .of a diet of late hours, ice cream, pol kas,and poisonous confections. And then just when they should be in the perfect, peerless bloom of maidenhood, fresher than roses, there is a t breakdown of health sad life and spirits. The family physician is conallted, gymnasiums, riding shools, Saratoga,sulphur springs' a4recornended. As if all the medicines in creation should build up healthon a foundation of noth ing at all ! • Now this is all wrong—radically and intrinsically wrong. - In this lovely cli mate of ours, with bracing air, clear sky and health inspiring breezes,, there is no earthly reason why °lir girls should not be models of strength ! l and health to the whole world. i The only thing is to avoid that false start in life that is' given by weak minded mothers and fashionable I friends. Never mind their complexions. Send them out to pl 4 lin the sunshine and wind, with dresses cut so short they can draw a long - breath once in awhile,and shoes that are dew proof and water proof. Never reproach them for too much life and mirthfulness; let them romp.to their,' hearts content. Blessed be the modern style of open air exercise for our young ladies. It is fashionable to ride on horse- back now. Long walks in thick calf skin shoes are "the style." Nor is it con sidered at all derogatory to • row a pair, of oars or manage a revolver. This is just as it should be. There is nething like heaven's sunshine and heav en's 'free wind for bringing back the lost roses to a girl's cheek. The fashionable game of croquet, now being inaugurated on every lawn where there is room to plant the "arches,"ivill he a dangerous thing for the doctors. It has been a popular amusement in England for some time;and we are glad to see it obtaining ground among the, pale eheeked belles of New York and Philadelphia. An hour orjtwo in the' open air every , afternoon will go far toward neutralizing midnight soirees, endless piano practicings, and intolerable tight lacing. 1 ' Garrick I find the Dos. A story is narrated of David Garrick, the ,great actor when Playing theitad scene in, the tragedy of Lear. In the days of Garrick wigs .were warn by every bodf, and a, portly butcher, owning! one l i of these hirsute appendages, and a very large naastiff,had managed to squeeze linto the' theatre( with both, and to get a front seat in the pit, close to the box of the or chestra; the theatre was crainme'd to the,' ceiling and the weather intenselyilant, and the butcher was inconvenienced sadly by 'his wig of which he relieved his head but' was frir some time puzzled as th its further disp t osition. Il , e, however caught sight of Dog Tray, Crou r ched close to the wall, and looking with savage benignity, whereupon up went the wig on the dog's head, who took it as kindly as if hel had been *a, newly called barrister. While, however, the whole house was transfixed by :the sumblimity of Garrick's imper,son ation of the maniac king addressing im aginary beings, amid Storm and darkness, on a widdand desolate heath,Tray suddenly rose on his legs, (*and unseen by his 'mas ter, put his fore 1 paws on the orchiistra rail, and from, beneath* his wig surveyed Garrick with ithe utmost gravity. G4rick had just ammo to the! passage as he caught the dog's eye, "I'll 'take a word with this same learned Theban. What is your study ?." • lie managed to utter the sen tence with.due graviiy but found it im possible to maintain it, and Pascinated by the dog's steady gaze burst into a fit of laughter of the most uproarious character. The audience took this' as a new reading, and the house rang with applause. 1 The actors on the stage surveyed Garrick and each other with amazement, which was heightened by the prOlongation of the peals of laughter and delirous pointing of the -fingers :toward the pit. At length they perceived the cause of the interrup tion, and' all= the performers joind in laughter, and in pointing to the butcher who sat with the utmost gravity,beli l eving the whole of the pantomime t,b be part of A l ter the regular performance. ter time the whole house, except the iblitch'er be came aware of the matter,and a gentleman in ther ochestra box, by way of putting an end to it, seizerthe wig, and threw It among the musicians, Tray bounded after' I it, and sending the musicians flying in all directions. Tolgo ma with the scene was but of the question, and the dropping of ' the 'curtain became absolutely necessary to I the rzstoration of order. • Whylis a prudent !DAD like a pint Be cause his head prevetits him from going to far. - f r i , Neither! false curls, false teeth, false calves, or even false !eyes are as bad as falser tones. • • r • TERMS.- -$1.50 PER ANNUM!. DEATHS BY BATTLE' AND BY DIME.. Tables reported to originatein the War Department, show some surprising remits when, .compared with similar official TO• turns ototherarmies,foreign and our In the Mexican war our lOsses in deaths froth ,disease were, compared withi thel deaths in battle and from wounds,aa skit eight to one; in the; Crimean war 'those of, the French were as nearly seven Wogs those of the English as nearly four to one. In our war the deaths froth disease were as to the deaths in battle and from wound a little over two to one. These ratios are the best proofs we could have of the splendid efficiency of onr ar my sanitary regulations, of the Skill and faithfulnes of the army medical cormand of the thoroughness and great usefulness of our sanitary Commissions work: It appears that we lost, in officers And men, killed and died of wounds, 96,099; and by disease, 184,321; or altogether 280;420A out of a total given, in these tables at 2,154,311. In the Crimea, of nearly 94,000 English 501die5,4,419 died by battle, and 16,298 died of disease at the' seat of war, while nearly 13,0001 more were sent home sick. Thus the Euglish losses by disease were nearly four times those by battle. The French, whose san itary regulations were much praised,were even worse. They - kist 7,500 men by battle, 50,000 1 1/ disease—nearlyj seven times the number of casualities,.iostead of less than twice,as with us ; and 65,000 more were'sent home to be discharted as invalids, a considerable portion of whom no doubt died of their diseases. To show what good Management, thor ough sanitary regulations,and the efficient and organized-work of the Sanitary Com mission did for our soldiers in this war, we will compare further with the results of the Mexican war. Irr that war, accor ding to government returns, only 1,548 men died in battle or of wounds, but 12,- 348 died of disease, and 12,252 were sent home sick. This was worse even than the Crimean returns. We see by these statistics whatlthe country owes to the. wise and noble en who, at the open mg of the struggle, undertook to care for the health of the troops; v(ho, in the ser vice, and in the Sanitary Commission; la bored unceasingly to spread sordid sani tary information, to establish and enforce sanitary regulations, and who, with t the help of the patriotic women of the land, gathered and expended nearly one hun dred millions of dollars for auldementary supplies and relief. If our losses by disease bad been in,the same proportion as those of the English in the Crimea 184,000 more men would have encumbered the-death rolls; if they had been in the same proportion as ,the French in the same war, we should have mourned over 270;000 more deaths thin actually occurred. And :all these lives were saved by the excellence of the hos pital service, the:care and skill of ,the. medical staff; and, not least, by the un tireing providende of the Sanitary Com mission. Surely there is no more glorious passage in the record of the war than this of lives saved to the country and to their friends, by intelligent and humane care. There are some other interesting facts shown in these tableti. It seems that all the states except Georgia and South Carolina furnished troops for the Union armies. Of the loyal states New England lost the heaviest proportion of killed and wounded', nearly 45. per 1,00); ChelVes. tern states next, nearly 37 per 1,000, the Middle States nearly 32 per 1,000 an the berder states 25. per 1,000 Eans4 heads the list of individual states-mora y than half the able-bodied men of that state entered the army, and Vol of every 1,000 of them were killed or died of wounds.-- Vermont stands next in the list---her losses in killed and those who ,died of wounds amounted to over 58 per 1,000 ; Massachusetts lost nearly 48 per 1,000 ; New Efampshire over 47 ; and lowa,which furnished a larger proportion of her pop ulation to the army than any other state but .11ansas lost 45a - per' 1,000 in killed and dead from wounds. lowa heads the mournful list of deaths from disease; her losses amounted.td over 114 per 1,000, Vermont 91, Maine 85, Michigan 97, little Delaware butl7 per 1,000. New England lest, from disease, over 70 per 1,000, the Western States nearly 37,the Middle States nearly 32,and the Border States over 25 per-1,000 - It appears thus that both, from battle and from disease New England sustained the heaviest losses; and those who cried out, for a while, that "Yankees" did not fight are forever silenced 'by these sad tables. ; ,The people of:West Virgiuia,near ly all Southern• born, - by a tremendous vinjority, indeed well nigh upon acclama tion; decided to disfranchise the llebe.a and Rebel sympathizeig;'iroff lifts, not withstanding the copperhads Icoriily de• Glared the radicals, who originated the 4114- franchising amendment,were all for new, suffrage.
