There li a popular belief that George 'Washington passed from the Presidency Into private life without feeling " the stings and arrows of outrageous" calumny, and nothing so much adds to this convic tion as the apotheosis that places him first on the roll of human wisdom and patriotism. He is the model by which the statesmen of all civilizations mould their actions. No voice is raised to question the verdict of posterity. His life, exposed after his death, has con quered criticism. The most remorse less of censors bow before its majestic harmony. Eulogized (n prose and poetry, perpetuated in broiire "and marble, the whole world consecrates him in all its languages. And yet this man, thus deified by the generations, was most brutally assailed. Our libra ries hold abundant proofs of the feroci ty of his foes. How he felt their slan- by his own words, taken to Mr. - Jefferson, dated the Cth of July, 170G, ders we prove from a letter Philadelphia, wherein he says: Until within the last year or two I had no conception that parties would or could go to the length I havo been witness to, nor lid I believe untill lately that it wad with in the bounis of probability,hardly within those of possibility, that, while I was using my utmost exertions to establish a national harac-ter of our own independent, so far as our obligations and justice and truth would permit, of every nation of the earth, and wished, by steering a steady course, to pre serve the ountrv from the "horrors of a des olating WIT, I should le acciwd t the n fnS of one nation and subject to the influexco of another; and, to prove It, that everv act of my iul migration would lie tor tured and the grossest' and mot insidious representations of. them made by giving one side ouly of Iho subject, and that, too, in such exaggerated and indecent terms as tcould seareHy be applied to a Kero, a noto rious defaulter, or even a common pickpock et. 1 - A few days before he left the Presi dency forever The Philadelphia Attro m, a most J influential Democratic pa per, exclaimed : " IT ever a nation was debauched by a man, the American nation was debauched by Washington j if ever a nation was deceived by a man, it was deceived by "Washington and Thomas Paine, in a public letter ad dressed to "Washington, said : As to you, sir, treacherous in private friend ship and a hypocrite in public life, the . world will be puzzled to decide wheth er you are an apostate or an impostor Whether you have" abandoned good principles or whether you ever had any." Kven Andrew Jackson, just chosen a Senator in Congress, voted with twenty others against a resolu tion complimenting Washington on his approaching release from the aires of government We take the following incident from Griswold's " Republican Court," pub lished in 1854 : Edmund Randolph had been an object of Washington's kindly interest from his youth ; his powerful influence had caused him to be elected Governor of Virginia; ho had appointed him successively Attorney General and Secretary of State, and had treated him in every" Way with unlimited confidence and almost parental fondness. Tho vulgar and violent abuse with which ho was assailed in the disgraced Minister's "Vindication" therefore incensed him to an extraordinary degree. The o"asion was one of those in which his feelings for a mo ment obtained a mastery over his habitual ielf-controL j We have from unquestionable authority an anecdote illustrating this fact : 44 Upon the settlement of the boundary between 1'ennsvivania ami irgiuia some of Washington's lands fell within the for mer State, and the late Mr. James Ross, Pittsburg, was his agent for the sale of them. Mr. Ross came to Philadelphia to settle his account, andpending word to the President that he would watt upon him at his pleasure, was invited to breakfast the next morning. On arriving he found all the ladies the Curtisses, Lewisses, Mrs. Washington, and others in the parlor ob viously in great alarm. Mr. Uoss describ ed them as gathered together in the middle of the room, like a flock of partridges in the held when ahak is in thq neighborhood. Very soon the President entered and shook hands with Mr. Ross, but looked dark and lowering. They went in to breakfast, and after a little while the Secretary of War came in and said to Washington: 'Have you seen Mr. Randolph's pamphlet?' I nave, said Washington, and by the eter nal God, he is the damndest liar on the face of the earth ! And as he spoke he brought his list down upon the table with all nis strength, and with a violence which made the cups and plates start from their places. Ross said he felt infinitely relieved, for he had feared that something in his own con duct had occasioned the blackness of the President's countenance. The late Chief Justice Gibson hail this from Ross himself, and he mentioned it at the house of the late Mrs. John B. Wallace, of Philadelphia." It would be an .ungracious task to spread before our readers the nauseous details of these unremitting slanders of General Washington.

They had the same power of impeachment and removal a year ago, and the same subservient majority to register the decrees of the klan which they now have. Why didn't they move in the matter then? Before the exposure and punishment of their faithful allies and deluded followers in Rutherford and other counties, we heard nothing against Judge Logan, except the usual amount of slander and calumny direct ed against all prominent republicans, by the paid libellers of unscrupulous leaders, and which was well understood to be a part of the machinery put in motion by these conspirators for the purpose of making loyalty odious and of driving the people into their service. Judge Logan has been for many years one of the representative men of Wes tern North Carolina. We are informed that perhaps for many years he sat in the Legislature of the State, and T he was a member of the Confodw Lon gres and irroDably voted for by ny of those who now prate about his Incompetency. If he was gooa enough and able enough to represent j political opponents. the white people of the West in those days, under the old order of things, how is it that he has suddenly become so weak and imbecile? The little boys, anu the big ones too, of tho klan, will have to get up a better dodgje than this before they get rid of judicial officers,, who, in the discharge of their duties, expose and punish their crimes.

The first event will be the election of a Con gressman in the Ninth Massachusetts district, January 2. 1 On the next day the Republicans of New Hampshire and the labor reformers of Connecticut will hold their state conventions. On the 17th the temperance men of Maine wild hold a state convention, but it is doubtful whether they will take any ac tion with a view to the next election. They are generally satisfied with Gov ernor Perham and the Republican leg islature, i " . The liberal Republicans of Mssouri will hold a state convention January 21, and will probably renominate Gov ernor Brown and proclaim a new na tional party. The democrats of-Connecticut will hold a state convention February C, to nominate state officers and to consider this " Missouri move ment." The national labor convention will be held in Columbus, Ohio,. Feb ruary 14, and will probably nominate candidates for President and Vice-President. Their most I prominent candi date for President is Mr. George W. Julian, of Indiana, whose name is pre sented by the San Francisco Labor Re formers and other societies. A nation al temperance convention will be held in Columbus, Ohio, jFebruary 22. On the same day the Indiana Republicans will hold a convention to nominate candidates for state officers, and . the " Regular" Republicans of Missouri will meet for the same purpose. , Tho national campaign will fairly open with the elections in New Hamp shire and Connecticut early in the 'and The spring. In New Hampshire the dem ocrats and labor reformers are in the field with their tickets. Gover nor Weston is a candidate for re-election. The Republicans of Connecticut will probably renominate Governor Jewell, and it is thought that the dem ocrats will take a new man, Governor English having no desire to run again. The contest in both states will be very animated. JV. V. Post. J. At Missi Prudence Pkttingill's FiiisTjRiDE in the Cars. We are in debted to a Concord, Massachusetts, cor respondent for the following account of an oldt lady's first ride in the cars: Miss Prudence Pettingill, at the ma ture age of sixty-one, made up her mind to visit New York for the first time In her life. She bad never seena railroad.! as such things had been un know4 in Aroostook County until this summer,' and the ancient farm-house in which; she lived was seven miles from the station. So she sits calmly upon a seat placed on'the great wooden plat form which surrounds the country de pot, arid gazes with amazement upon the train which arrives, pauses a few moments to take on passengers, then proceeds upon its journey. statiori-master interrogates the old lady, who sjts placidly watching the depart log tram. "Why did you not get on, if you wish ed torfoto JNew York:?7' "Gil on !" says the old lady "gitpn ! 1 thought this whole consarn went!"

Clutching fast hold of the seat in front of her, she Is at first'verv much alarmed at the speed at 'which they are sroing, but jrradurtlly becomes calm, and much in teresteel in the novelty of her surround ings. sThe old gentleman answers her many inquiries very civilly,and,among other things, tries to explain the use of the telefrraph wires, and tells her that messages are sent over them at a much greatef rate of speed than they are trav eling, i VWa'al. wa'ai." says tne old lady, fyou don't ketch me a-ridin on Tthy Welter's Widows", appears :in the Y) JZepubliccniy, from which the fol lowing is an extract XlT'XZ': ' Another very courtable widow was a young lady of Washington, Pa. She became engaged to a young man named Robert- , in 1840. . Her father, how ever, objected to this match with one of his clerks, and when the young lady received a tempting proposal -from wealthy suitor, the- paternal ' influence soon effected a marriage, despite the former encasement. In less than three Lmontha her husband was killed by a kick from a horse. Robert was a sec ond time then a suitor, but delayed the important question until fifteen months had elapsed, when, to his horror, she informed e him that sne was ; engagea. In three-montns thereafter sne was married. Two years, elapsed, when the married couple removed "to Syra cuse, N. Y., where among the victims of the cholera, when the, pestilence swept that city, was tne second, kod- arf oopflin cftiwhi, hpr hivnrl. nnrl whpn ft. year had elapsed, wa on the eve of a declaration, when lol he received an invitation to her weddimr. Her late husband's business was found in such a state that to avoid immense losses she married the surviving partner. Short ly after, she removed with her third husband to Detroit. Michigan. A few years elapsed, when herself and hus band were on a steamer that was wrecked near Buffalo. The husband perished, and the wife escaped solely through the exertions oi a friend f wno was on board. His gallantry inspired such sentiments in her breast that she married her brave preserver a few mouths after her third widowhood. The happy pair removal to nttsburg, wnere ifer nusband was engrasred in mercantile business. Thither Robert, still cherishing his first love, followed them. One day as he J was passing the husband's store he saw a terrible com motion. Rushing in. he beheld the mangled corpse of that gentleman on the floor. : A ticrco of rice, in being hoisted to an urmer story, had fallen through the tmps, killing him instant ly. Anxiously Robert inquired if any one had been sent to inform his wife, and was told that the book-keeper' had just gone. Robert started for Alle gheny City, where the deceased had resided, at the top of his speed. The book-keeper was just ahead of him, and. from past experience, knowing the virtue of prompt action, and appre- nending tnar xne cierK nau uesigns on the widow, he ran for dear life, side by side. . The race continued until tney reached Hand-street bridge, when the clerk was obliged to stop to pay the tolls, while Robert, a commuter, paased over without stopping. Reaching the house of the widow first, Robert, told the heartrending news, and in the same breath made a proposal of marriage; He was accepted. True to her prom ise, after a year of mourning she be came his wife. As all her husbands had died wealthy, Robert was comfort ably fixed after all. This case is a re markable example of what pluck and preseverance will do for a man, while at the same time it teaches a lesson on the danger of delay.

L A Cobra in Love with a Woman. A Bit of Homance. For several days a lady from Glasgow, Missouri, named Stinsley, has been in this city in search of her husband, who has been at work as a laborer on the bridge during the winter, but who, for some unex plained cause, had left there and was working in the city. The lady made diligent inquiries all around town for her liesre lord, but all her search ing, and the help of others, failed to illicit the desired information until she happened to think of a small "blonde doer." with a stumpy tail and his ears cut off, which she said was the constant companion of her husband. One of the boys who lives at the valley House, where she is stopping:, happened to see a dog of this description last Saturday, on Church street, and forthwith he cap tured the canine and bore him in tri umph to the delighted lady, who im mediately recognized him as her hus band's pet. The dog, however, was not exactly the member of the family she was the most anxious about, strange to say, and she was almost desponding. Then the happy thought of tying a note to his neck suggested itself to her, and she forthwith acted upon the sugges tion, and the dog was turned out to seek his master. The result was just what was hoped for, and in two hours the husband was in the arms of his overjoyed wife. That dog is a hero now at the Valley House, and when he dies the happy couple will doubtless em balm him and erect a monument to his memory. St. Joseph Mo.) Herald. THE AMERICAN WASHER I -PRICE, $5JSO. The American Washer Saves Money, Time, and Drudgery. The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer i Dreaded, but Economy, Efficiency, and I Clean Clothing, Sure. , In calling public attention to this little machine, a few of the invaluable qualities, (net possessed by any Ko wooiuug nia chino yo iavwntedjarehere enumerated. It is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most simple in construction, most easily operated. A child ten years old, with a few hours practice, can thoroughly com prehend and effectually use it. There is no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no delay in adapting! It is always ready for use! It is a perfect little wonder t It is a miniature giant, doing more work and of a better quality, than the most elaborate and costly. One half of the labor is fully saved by its use, and the clothes will last one-half longer than by the old plan of the rub board. - It will wash the largest blanket. : Three shirts at a time, washing thoroughly ! In a word, t he ablution of any fabric, from a Quilt to a Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally within iho capacity of this LITTLE GEM ! It can be fastened to any tub and taken off at will. No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may exist against Washing Machines, the moment this little machine is seen to per form its wonders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utilitv are banished, and the doubter and detractor at once become the j fast friends of the machine. We have testimonials without end, setting torth its numerous advantages over all oth ers, and lrom nundreds who nave thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines. Which hav e sicrnallv failed to accomnlish the ob- ectpromised in prominent and loud sound ing advertisements. It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for wringing. The price another paramount inducement to purchasers, has been placed so low that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and there is no article of do mestic economy that will repay the small investment so soon. - AH that is asked for this GREAT LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We guarauteo each machine to do its work perfectly. . Sole Agents tor the United States, A. II. FRANCISCUS & CO., 513 Market St., Philad'a. Pa.

Randolph and Freneau are only the originals of Garrett Davis and Brick Poraeroy." Washington's ser vices to his country failed to rescue him from obloquy, and Grant cannot hope to escape. There was' no "dictator" half so dangerous as Washington to men like Genet and Thomas Paine. mere never was one so complete as Grant to General Bmir and Ihe Wash ington Patriot. Not less patent is the tact that the more W ashington was at tacked the brighter he shown and the stronger he grew with the people. He was re-elected without opposition. Is it not true that Gen? Grant grows In the conndence of his countrymen even as his adversaries grow more desperate The Democrats confess their utter ina bility to defeat him with a Democrat. They claim a solid South next year, with several Northern States, and yet oner tneir votes to any itepublican can didate who Is willing to run against Grant. Washington had plenty of en emies when he was a second time be fore the people, but he was chosen by acclamation. We cannot hope for such a triumph for Grant, but history often repeats Itself so strangely that we shall not be astonished if he Is re-elected by a much larger electorlal vote than he got in 1668.

Chicago is ahead yet a general talk among the natives of the on ciinKers. vnicago .oitrnat, i place. hearts from uniting their destinies for bet ter or for worse, whenever the owners so resolve. To make the story brief, a plan was con cccted by which the pair were to run down to Mitchellville, just this side of the State line, where arrangements had been made the day previous with a magistrate to perform the ceremony. The fond couple appeared at the depot at Franklin shortly after five o'clock on the morning mentioned. It having been sug gested by some unfeeling wag, that they might possibly be overtaken by Jier irate father, and their blissful hopes blasted at the very moment of realization, the bride groom became considerably demoralized, but was soon reassured by his pluckier com panion, who coolly remarked : " I don't nee how he can ; I really don't. He lives three miles from here, and if he comes he will have to walk. lie can't make the dis tance afoot before the arrival and departure of the train. I foresaw the danger of such a denouement, last night, and made my ar rangements accordingly. I went to tho sta bles, hid all the bridles, locked the doors, and threw the keys away. When I left home this morning, mother and father were asleep. I quietly turned the key upon them, and threw it away too." It need hardly be said that her, explana tion was highly satisfactory. The- train rolled in at 5 :57, the lovers jumped aboard, i ( and were married at G :2Q at Mitchellville, on the arrival of the train at that place. . That girl was certainly worth the trouble of winning, but we have a notion that if her husband tries to kick out of the matrimoni al traces the keys will be turned on . him, too, some of these days. , Armory, Ilion, N.
