Conductor und VIce-president; Ata certain period, some six or eight years ago, the officers ofouo of our prinei pal railroads had good reasons for beliov itlg that sonic ol the conductors up in a particular section of their roadd were iu tho habit of reudoring inaccuratr returns . of thoir receipts from "way passengers;' and as they wero unable to fix the defal cation upon the particular individuals. Cinkcrton was euiploved to investigate the matter, and test the accuracy of th ir suspicions. Cor the execution of this delicate service ho selected a sufficient number of his best, men to furnish four for every ear in n train one to be seated at each door mid two in the centre of the car, the latter facing to tho front and rear, so as to see every person who vent in or out. These men were direc ted not to recognize each othir, but to pay their fares, and otherwise deport themselves like ordinary travelers. Each one was provided with pencil and paper, and instructed to keep an a ecu rate record ofevcry parson that entered 1 or left the. cars, noting the stations to ami from which they traveled, etc , so tha: if at the end of the trip th fir n itos were iu accor 1, it would b>i good eiri dence of accuracy.

Tho facetious conductor probably an ticiputcd this result, and with his char acteristic coolness remarked: "In that evcut, Sir, it may at some future time become necessary for to seek employ, tnent upon another road.

Wliy wo Honor the Party. We arc suspicious of the-man who in continually boasting of Li* noble ancestry. To know a man, wo most know what ho is, not what, his futhor was. Noble descent is well enough in its place, but when u man has nothiog better to boast of than his pedigree, he has reached the bottom, and is little better than tho snail that looks up with envy at the strong-wingod eagle in its lofty flight. It id nobler trffnsccnd than descend ; to improve on the family stock rather than deteriorate. To fall back upon tho reputation of our; great-great* grandfather to sustain our owu, js little bettor than robbing a grave to secure tlie jewels buried in it. So with parties; we honor them for what they are, not what they were in days gone by. We see nothing iu Democracy hut the shadow of a great name. Wiien we ask w hat it has to commend it to our con Bdcnce, its Tweeds and Garvcysand Warmouth, with their party plunder concealed from view, point us toils houorable past, before slavery corrupted its honor, or trer.son destroyed i'.s political virtue. Not so with 'ate Repub lican party ! N o glory in its pa?t achievements, because out of them have grown it present strength and nobility. What it was yesterday it is to day, a living, moving power, excrtin s. ati iu fluence for good ; defending the nat ion from its enemies at home and abroad ; protecting tho liberties of the people; establishing schools for popular educa tion; reaching out its ar.trjto restrain monopolies from < ucroachin^npou tho rights of the people; holding^ho scales of justice between capital and labor ; organizing moans to ro iov^r.the pro dueers of the West ami the consumer. of tho East, ami exacting fi^rs its ser vants an honest and ecouoti^Jal udmiu iatratioi^.oC the Covern<^t Jfcir ?Ji good and sufficient rmixrnis we hoiior'the llopublican party. We take just pride iu its past achieTmcnts, because tlo Y havo given birth to our preseu! aspira tions. We havo taken no ,-t p back -.?.aid. Sotho of our srnndnd boarcrs have proveu false, but the r.mk and file wee true, and loyal bands caught up the old flag and kept it uflo ,t in the var.gu :d ul civilization. The noblest army will have its deserters, the noblest party will have its fuithlc?9 servants, but neither army nor party can suffer as long ns the great body remains true to the oauso. i he Republican partv represents* the progressive Ideas >f the people, uot tho ambitious designs of it.s leaders Tho defection of a leader, the dishonesty of an official, the failure of a representative to reflect tho wishes of l-.is cent ituents, have no other effect than to arouse the people tj greater caution :u the selection of their public servants The great political body is sound ; its faults ate few, anJ, when discovered, easily remedied. As the present condi tion of tho party is as worthy of com hieudati >n as its past,so tho future will add r.iilur thau detract, from its glory. Wo hive tnuv.li to do; the work so well tteconipl she?i having brought other and larger duties for the party t<- perform : To disarm igu iraneo, sdppross vice, pro tcCt labor encourage immigration, de volope our wouiiderful resources, protect t he publ c credit, adapt, the national cr rency to the wants of the public, and to maintain justice nod secure honesty in every BOetioO of tho land and every biaiieh cd the Hove torn cut,,are duties us imposing as any that hate been laid upon the party in the pnst.? fZic/iangc -??????. -. a?? i ? A IHfffTCUCt) of Opinion. Tl ere is a slight difference of opinion between Doinoorais, North and South. The hard-shells of tho South insist on keeping Democracy on tho old Calhoun platform, while their biothrcu of tho North as strongly in-ist ou ten ring up the old planks and replacing thorn with timber stolen from the Republican reservations. To gain a new 1 -a^o o! power Northern Democrats are willing to make any sacrifice. To support the family pride,and keep up the pet theory ot "a white muu's government" South ern Democrats refuse to yield their old pro-elavery principles. The Southern sentiment is honestly Mated in the fol lowing extract from the Memphis Avalanche, (Dem): "In fact the old Democratic party managers havo been foroed by tho inex orable logio of events to surrender c rory thiug but tho Dame. To this thoy still cling in me?t ot the States. Their plat form is labeled 'Democratic,'though in all, or nearly all essentials it is little else thau a paraphraso of tho Republi can party platform of the past few years. Ab a measure of policy no objection can be ruade ; but to deliberately smash ono partisan creed, filch a new ono from one's enemy, and theu insist that, bo cause bearing the old name it is still the same old creed, is to sprak mildly, ar rant hypocrisy. Tho doctrine held by A. II. Stephens, by Robert Toombs, by Jefferson Davis, eouueiuted in tho Dent QCrutio platforms of 18Gd and 1868, by Blautuu Duncan's Bourbon Convention which nominated Charles U'Conor for President lukt year, is tho 'ancient Dem ocratic faith.' It ii the si men pure ar ticle. All other brands aro spurious ; yet not a 'Democratic' Convention, North or South, now ventures to incor porate it iu a platform. If the old par tisan creed?as is tho fact?has been utterly abaudoned ; if to maintain a itrugglo lor mere cxistonce it has be come necessary?as is tho fact?to adopt, to so great an extent, tho Repub lican party platform, why ?3?nt? to the old Democratic name, especially since that name has become so unpopular as to bring defeat to any organization that bears it? This is answered by a low heroics ovur tho past career of tho old party. But of what avail ? They can not change minorities to majorities. Public confidence in a political party ouee lust cau never bo restored." Tho l'ittsburg i'ast, (Dem.) publish ed in cooler latitude, differs slightly ic opinion from the above extract. It says : "Tho Democratic party has been out of power for twoive years. During all that period it has been gaining strength , and but for the uegro vote it wouid at this moment hold possession of our i t ate und General Government.

Wh n that glorious edd political party dies it ?..ii! be proof that the Constitution has bocu utterly destroyed, und that the la.^t hope for man's self go\ernuicut has perished from tho earth." Panics. Panics, like extensive conflagrations, have small beginnings. A sp?rk has within it the power to lay in asl.es the largest city. If fed by combustible material, it roen becomes a flamo, before whieh iron melts and granite crumble-, into dust. So with panics. Words of suspicion are the sparks that leads to financial conflagrations. Distrust is brcalhtd from one to another ; instead of being quieted by calm advice, it is fed by popular excitement. Those who have lcasd to lose are tho loudest in their eroskings over coming failures. A ru>li is made to sacrifi '9 st >ek that is both profitable aud safe; it is thrown upon the market along with fancy and worth less stock. A sensa of insecurity seizes tho buyer, and the result is, no sales, or ruinous sacrifices of stock that only neede 1 tho restoration of coufid ueo tu be worth more than ever. When a fire 1 bro: ks out, efforts are tnuJo to oonfiue it within its original limits. But the breaking out of distrust in a community ia the signal, not for united efforts to ConfiQd it within it? legitimate bounds, or its suppression, but for a general rush to !ct.d the flames by gossip, ill omeiiod prophecy, or groundless rumors of some iu letiuiblo calamity. A rum >r Maria, affecting the financial standing of some bank official. It matters little whether it bo true or false ; the whisper is soon transformed into a storm. A sudden ruti is mado upon tho bauk ; then upon other banks, tint il the whole eommuuity is iu a ferment. If the hanks have facilities for prompt conver sion of securities iuto caah, tho storm itiuy blow ovor ; but if distrust is wide spread, money is locked up or bald for cell protection, and banks that are perfectly sound aro driven by sheer necessity to suspend payment. No reasonable man can expect a banker to p*y interest on deposits aud keep those deposits locked tu his safo, ready to be returned without a moment's notioe: yet men who claim to be reasonable act at times as if the thought this to bo the case. Ranks pay interest upon money, because they can loau the money received for a higher ra;e of iutcrest than they pay. They tako securities for nionoy loaned. T) onYort these into money refjuiros time; and thost; having deposits should be considerate euough la grant it. The best bank in the country may be forced to suspend payment in the fseo of au unexpected and unreasonable domnnd, '.specially if popular excitement has so unsettled values as to render the conversion of .sec-.rities into cash almost impossible. Panics should be stopped at the moment of their inception. Men of ability aud judgmont should unite to quiet popular distrust. Confidence should b<i strength-' oned by every legitimate means. Deposi tors, unless they havo good reason! for domuuding payniout, should assist, rather th in ciipplo, the hank whose oredit and standing they depend upon, wxc'eptional cases of failure miy occur at any time, but a panic, suoh asrecjnt ly fcwept over tho financial centres of tho country, ought to be an impossibility'. Wo trust that the press of the land will exert its powerful iuflucnco towards maiutaiuiog a healthy ?ta!e of public confidence. Our liest Mon for Oil!cc. To destroy the Republican party becattso a few dishonest men havo crept into office through its power, would be as wise as tho killing of a healthy indi vidual because a few boils trouble him. The party never was more hoalthy than at present. The few officials that are proven di>hone->t are, to the great body politic, what the spots on the sun are to the blazing orb that gives us light and war.Mth. As long as the masses of tho ; pooplo - .who eompose the party are hon -?niy^iviiugu, ? wb ?wivinBwagHBBS part itself. Every Republican conveu - fiu:i which has met thus fur has placed itself on reeorl as being detcruiin :d to drive men from offico who fail to prac tics economy or.d honesty in their public duties.

A pood citizen will j euerally make a giod official. This is a simple rule which, if practical iu the selection of candidates!, will greatly pro tect the public interests. Tnquiro 'nto the private character of the man who wants your vote, and If you find him honest, industrious, charitabl!, a goo J neighbor, and a public spirited citi/cti,1 you cau aaf.Jy give him your veto and support. You may run the risk, even then, ofbein.1 cheated; but the chance's will be so small that you can well afford the risk. Rut to expect to pontiffs itu honest official in the man who never pays his . debts, who takes advantage of his neighbor, whose character is staiue 1 by iutempera nco or profauity, is to expect a clear bsltnes sheet in the other world without payingyotir printer's bill iu this. Nominate your best mea for ^olhco and tho ri.k of finding dis honesty in high places will bo exceeding ly small. ? Exchange. Tito True Distinction. Who would thiuk of condemning a worthy merchant because ho disoovered in his employ a dishonest clerk ? Sympa thy, rather lhau blatuo, would bo ex ten I. d to him, and every fair uiiude 1 man w. u! 1 appr ive the prompt dismis sal, and, il the law was violated, the speedy punishment of the oQeuder. Why. then, should our oppououts d.aounco the Republican party booauso it dis covers among its thousands of officials a few exceptional cases of dishonesty ? Tho party repudiates tho acts of dis honesty, nud tho people put their stamp of condemnation, not only upon the ? dlciice, but upon the offender. No act of dishonesty, or official guilty of crime ; no questionable or iniquitous measures have ever been condoned or protected by the Republican party. As sooa as known, an earnest protest baa gone up against them, aud those involved have bcou called to a strict account . This is all that can be done. Individuals are liable to be deceived.
