The church of elit ist, howc

never bo destroyed. T'jo salvation of
the whole church, and each individual
member of it, is secured by the divine
promise. The Good Shepherd, who
laid down bis life tor the fdiccp, says,
" Fear nut, little flock ; for it is your
Father's good pleasure to give you the
kingdom." Luko VI, 82.
During the present time, wl.ilo God
is visiting the Geutilo nations in mercy
" to take out of them a people of his
name." (Acts 1 J, 15.) it may be that
(he saved nro few iu comparison with :
the multitudes who throni tho broad
road ; but the issuo of tfco conflijt is not
doubtful. Though Satau is now " the
good of this world," having usurped au.
thority by deceiving tho nations, Christ
will toon ' take to himself his great now-

ful servants, and "destroy them which
destroy the earth." Rev. 11, 15 IS.
The same Josus, who was led as a
lamb to the alaughter will come in tho
cloud of heaven as the Lion of tho tribe
of Judah and then then all the wrongs
of earth shall be righted, and all that w

then " the proud and all that do wicked

Tit Mi BEST JUDGE.
The idea that the efficiency of a judge
can oe ascertained by the frequency or
rarity of the reversals of his judgments,
is so absurd that the efforts of the Kadi
call press to hoist Judge Williams into
a first-class reputation by a parade of tho
number of times ha has been affirmed
by the Supreme Court aro simply ridic
ulous. Tho science of the law is so in.
trieate in a hishly artificial society like
the piesent, the questions arising bo.
como so refined, the distinctions bo nice,
that the wisest judges may differ. And
in many instances the law is really not
established until the decision of the
highest tribunal is announced, so that
the judges of the inferior conrts suffer
no dimiuution of respect in case their
opinions are not sustained. A great
deal, too, depends on tho character of
the supervising court. It is not invidi
ous to say that there havo been many
instances, both in this country and Eng
laud, where the reputation of tho revere,
ed judge was such that greater defer,
cuco has been paid to the lower than
the higher eourf, to the diiseut rsthcr
than tho ruling of tho court. To en
deavor, then, to bolster up a judicial rep
utation by nrtificcs such as these, is in
sulting to the intelligence of all to whom
it is addressed. If it is worth anything,
however, if people can be l'ouud so igno
rant as to be misled by such arguments,
wo pre.-ent a few facts which we have
collected (roiu tha records of Judge
Sbarswool's decisions aud laborers. He
Laf been on the bench twenty. two years.
During this time bo La3 presided at tho
jury trials of four thousand and seventy,
four eases. These tire jury trials alone,
without taking into eon.sidcrr.tion the
countless motions, rules arguments, ca
ses stated, appeals from auditors, war
rants of aricst, and the thousand and one
forms in which the law is administered
before the judges iu Chambers and in
Bane. Of i ho vast amount of opinions
he has doling this long time ifobvered,
but one hundred nud nl'ty-six havo been
called in question by an appeal to tho
higher tribunal. At leu&t that is tho
number which wc Cud during this long
period to have been reviewed by the
Supremo Court. This one fact speaks
more in praiso of Judge Sharswood's
judicial acquirements than volumes of
aOirmations could do. That out of the
enormous disappointment litigant and
lawyer?, but one hundred and fifty-six
of them have iu twenty-two years had
the hardihood to hopo that ho was wrong;
that there was such almost universal ac
quiescence in his judgments, is certainly
great proof of his litness than would be
tho iiflinuation of every opinion ho could
deliver. Of theso ouo hundred and
fil'ty tix cases which we find reviewed
in tho Supremo (Join t, one hundred and
twenty. four were affirmed and but thirty-
tvo reversed. These statements can Le
verified by the records of the courts,
o uount it tucu a record, covering so
long a period, can bo shown by any
other judicial officer in tho country. If
any conclu-ions aro to be deduced from
such facts, it lis quito evident that the
results would bo very much in J ud

frantic attempts to send the nation head

Will the people ever awaken to a just
appreciation of the true character of the
Radicals ? If they would ouce do so
they would seo that it is an abomination,
a horror They would truthfully ex
claim :
How little do they see what is, who frame
Their parly judgru'ttipon that which beems.
But I am carrying water to the sea,
by speaking in this mnnncr. Their
real character is already known, even
to the remotest corners of the earth. It
is noted for deeds so black that tho
"conclavo of holl " would blush to own
them. Have they not shod tho blood
of innocence, and has not one of their
boasted leaders enteric! into a plot with
a perjuror from Stato prison ? Are
they not at present loading you with
taxes to which those that caused our
fathers to strike for frcedoai were but a
trifle? Aro they not attempting to
blindfold you in regard to the elections
employing their press to oirculato the
foulest lies, for instance that tie Demo
crats have aspersed the character of
Judge Williams, when, ou the contrary,
they themselves have all lied by distort
ing ana garbling Judge Sharswoods
lunguago in such a manner as to hide
and prcvert his true meaning, which is
worse than lying ? Can you not see that
they aro endeavoring to deceive you as
to the California elections, alleging that
if tho Republican ticket had not been
divided, .hcy would have won a victory ;
when the returns show, plain as day
that tho Dcmoeratio ticket numbered
between six and seven thousand raoro
than both of theirs added. Docs not
Judge Williams himself expect to de.
ccive you glorioiibly by withholding his
opinion, and rofusicg to announce it un
til after the elections 1 though every one
knows he favors the bill of Senator
Wilson to introduce negro Euffrago into
this State. The Radicals speak of loy
alty, when they have ropca tedly violated
every article of tho Constitution. Tbis
is a part, and only a part, of their chat
actcr. Will you then, spaniel like, lick the
hand that smo'e you, and that now for
ces you to meintain a policy contrary to
the dictates of freedom, and place on
the Supreme Bench Judo Williams.
who will concede to Congress the right
to allow the negro to rulo l'enusylvatiia ?
But I need not argue thus, for tho elec

JLook at the Other Side.
When secession came, Democrats sus.
taincd tho Government, shed their blood,
invested their money in 5-2 O's, 7-30's,
and 10 40', sent their members to Con
gress, and obeyed the laws that a Con
gress of twenty-three States enacted.
That was their Government and they
loved it, they defended it; and many of
them, died for it.
During the war eleven States wero
not represented in Cougress, etnd they
refused to be. That was a lawful Con
gress, all cbejed it and ail of its laws
are biudiug under the Constitution.
When the war was over the South
submitted, then the Radicals Jcept them
out to givo tho negro power. They
" acted outside of tho Constitution " as
Tbaddeus Stevens says.
It it be truo that tho Democrats are
trying to destroy this Government, how
Rtratige it is that tuey should bold its
bonds and notes, and tight and die for it
Their object is to preserve it, to bring it
within the Constitution, to govern ac
cording to law, to ecouonibse its resour
ces, and to pay iis debts.
Are your bonds and greeubacbs safer
inside of the Constitution or outsids of
it. It we have no Constitution, as
Stevens says, what security have you
for your debts r 1 be Constitution is the
title deed to the property that your debt
is a lien upon.
In the case of Borie against Tiott,
Judge Sharswood decided that a man
7io agreed to pay a debt in gold should
pay it in gold. Was not this right ?
lie did not decide the question of the,
power of Congress.
You hold a 5-20 or a 10-40 bond, the

MANAGEMENT OF H0E3E3.
In the management of a horse, one
should never get in a passion j but what
is undertaken, or required of a horse, ho
snouid be made to do ; yet nothing un
reasonable, or what bo does uot know
how, and is able to do should be rcquir
ed of him. Wheu you havo taught a
horse that you are his friend, and mas.
ter, you have laid the foundation of com
plete success in management.
If you are afraid of a horse, do not go
near mm, and havo nothing to do with
him personally, till you make him fear
yoit. A horse knows when his driver is
afraid of him, and he will havo his own
way accordingly ; but no horse should
be expected to do what has never been
taught him to do. You might as well
require a child to solve a Question iu
algebra, who had never learned to couut
beyond ten, as to demand of a horse to
do what no one has ever taught Liarhow
to do.
For instance, a young horeo that has
never been "set" in a cully, with
load before, is whipped Cy his owner, or
driver, bcoauso ho does not draw tho
load out. Tho animal is willing to do
what he oan,- but Ac does not know hoic
to draw out the load. Ho tries and
finds that it does not move, not know
ing that a steadier and stronger pull
wouia ao it, and when the lash oomes
dowu upon him, and he hears the veils
("that is the right word tooofton) of his
driver, he is lrightenod, and jumps and
rears, tnrough tear, rather than uali
ness, baulkyness. No better wav could
possibly be devised to make a horse
baulky, than to beat him under such
circumstances. You might as well
attomnt to make a horso move a three
story building, and draw it off, as to get
out ot a slough, with a heavy load,
when tho animal has never been taught,
ut) aegrces, to draw a load out of such
places,
It is true, that it is bad policy to
unhitch a horse from a load, under such
circumstances j but it is far worse to
beat him an hour, and then have to do
it. Our way of teaching colts is as fol.
lowcs : We put on light loads, after
Ihey are well oroko to a harness, and
go iuto bad places, where it requires
hard pulling by degrees ; and the
animal learns 7iou to draw the load'out.
Ho reasons as a man does thus : " I've
been hore before and got out, and I can
do it again," aud out he goes. We add
to the load ooo or two hundred pounds,
and go through tho same process, then
wait a day or two and try him agaiu,
taking care that wo require nothing to
be done before, except with a little
lighter load. Tbis is teaching a horse to
have coufidenco iu himself, which is the
basis of all good draught horses.
A truckman of Boston got into a
deep snow bank. last vinter, wuh a load
of two tous. Ho wai " set." Did he
bawl, or yell at, and beat his horses ?
Xot at all ; " Charley," said ho, address,
ing one of bis horses, " wo are iu a bad
fix here, and I want you to do your best,"
And when he gave the word go, they
did go, exerting themselves to the ut
most, and the truck went on to its des
tination. These horses were rational
animals, aud kuow what it was to be
encouraged ; aud so it should bo iu all
cases. A gentleman who witnessed the
truckman's operation stopped him, and
handed, him 5. " Take that," said
he, " it is the fir9t time that I have
seen a truckman treat his horses, undci
such circumstances, in a proper man
ner." JFrotn our ExcUangt.
The New Yoik Tribune, putting
Montana and California out of tho count
on the grouud of ' no return.:,," figures
up tha Democratic gn.iu in tho late clee-
tio'ns at only about two thousand. Now,
it ia well Luown that the Rads lost fully
70,000 of their last year's majority at
the late elections, hence if the Tribune
speaks the truth, at least 80,000 fraudu
lent votes were polled in these States
last fall by tho Radicals. Tho influence
is indisputable.
Wiiite workiugmen who wish no
groes to labor beside them iu manufac
tories and workshops, who desiro ne

uud their ohildren in tho public schools,
have only to vote tho Radical ticket and
