1
coniiensesithe whole story in the follow
ingllittle ipeeph made just after the pas
awns of the franchse law :
`- 'l.Bat alshOrt 'time since I was visited
by a TentnesSee officer in an Arkansas
Rebel regun6nt who to ll me that the
Rebels lia!,d ne right to - complain of the
frarlchise btit that he submitted cheer
fullY, and it was within his personal
knowledge that if the Confederates had
achieved their independence it was their
1
pp' rpose to disfranchise every Union man
in the 4.itti. 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! 'cleat:ller, but if it takes the re
mainder of my natural life. ;fir this lam
encourace , knowing ;that all good and
true non at home stand by ' me, and all
good and true men abroad, including the
most tarn ed, patriotic, and loyal Con
cr
o ress whici ever assembled in Washing:

A TOUCHING STORY.
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.

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

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.
