'nil I) 0 t [ Conductor and Vice-president At a certain period, some six or eight years ago, tho officers of one of our princi pal railroads had good reasons for believ Wig that, some ol the conductors up m a particular scotiou of their roads were in the habit of reudoring inaccuratr returns of their receipts from "way passengers;' aud as they wore unable to fix the dedal nation upon the particular individuals. I'inkerton was etnplovcd to investigate the matter, and test tho accuracy ol'their suspicions. For the execution of this delicate service hp selected a Blflfioiont number of his best men to furnish four for every car iu a train one to be scaled at euch door and two iu tho centre of the car, the latter facing to tho front and rear, so us to see every person who went iu or out. These men were diroo ted not to recognize each other, but to pay their fares, and otherwise deport themselves like ordinary travelers Each one was provided with pencil and paper, and instructed to keep un accu li.te record of every person that entered or left the cars, noting the stations to and from whieh they traveled, etc . so that if it the end of the trip ih rir n ite-t were iu accord, it would be good evi denco of accuracy. In this manner the major was enable 1, in the course of a few days, to make a det iled teport which show? d conclusively that n-isrlt every con Ii ctor lipon the section of road un der surveillance had boon guilty of swindling: He also ascertained that one of llu+u d?:iuq icnt- owto'd prop <rty tiia largo amount in I'hiladelph* Where npq , ks 1 yvirt iuformthl, Colours-. the vie.- pr*ssi b:u! sent lor tho .nan; arid the following dialogu? ensued : 'Mr.-.how hm- h\ve \ou been cm p!o\ e ' as conductor on our Mao?

'That ih all very well,' replied tho im p'erturbablo vice president, 'but you seem to have forgotten that thoro is a slight difference between your statuo mid mine upon the-Railroad, in that you are responsible to me for st .filing the company's money, whereas 1 am uot accountable to you for my transaction?. In viow of this fact, it now becomes my duty to inform you that your services are no longer required upon our road.' The facetious conductor probably nn ticiputed this result, and with bis char acteristic coolness remarked: *'Iu that eveut, iSir, it may at sonio futuro time become necessary for to seek employ ment upon another road.

There is nothing so effectivo in bring ing a man up to the seratch as a healthy and high-spirited flea. Why wc Honor tho Parly. We arc suspicious of the-man who is continually boasting of hi*' noble ancestry. To kuow a man, we muit know what ho is, not what.hia fathor was. Noblo descent is well enough in its place, but when a man has nothing 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-wlngod caglo iu its lofty flight. It is nobler trS\ABcend than descend ; to improve on the fumi'v stock rather than deteriorate. To fall back upon tho reputation of our groat-great grandfather to sustain our owu, is littlo belter than robbing a grave to secure the jewels buried in it. So With parties; we honor them for what they are, not what tl.ey were in days gone by. We see nothing iu Democracy but the shadow of u great name. When wc ask what it has to commend it. to our con fidence, its Tweeds aud Garvcys and W.armouth, wiih their party plunder concealed from view, point us to its honorable past, before slavery corrupted its honor, or treason destroyed its political virtue. Not so with tie Repub lican party ! to e glory in its past achievements, because out of .them have ?row n it Spiesen t strength aud nobility. What it was yosterday it is to-day, a living, moving po'wer, excrlin > an in fluence for good ; defending the nation from its enemies at home upj abroad ; protecting tho liberties of the people ; establishing schools for popular educa tion ; leaching out its ar.uto restrain monopolies from ? ncroaching upon tho rights ol the people. ; hohling^ho pcsle? of justice between capital Slid labor ; organizing means to ro'icVe tho pro duccrs of ibe West aud the cottsutner. of the F.ast, anil oxacting fr^ra its ser vants an honest and ecouonj^iril admin iatrutioji of the Govern iggnf, JsL - *J?e3y good ami rf?ffimeat reoaons we honor the llupublicau party. We take just pride in its past nchievments, because they havo pi\en birth to our prcseut aspira tions. Wc havo taken no tit in back v..i;d. Some of our srandnT bearers have proven false, bat the rank and tile we e true, and loyal bonds caught up -lie (dd flag and kept it afloat in the vaiiguiiid ?I civilization. The* noblest army will have its deserters, the noblest party will havo its faithless servants, but neither army nor party can suffer as long ns the great body remains true to the oauso. ibe Republican partv i n-pre?eots the progresdvo idoas of the people, uot tho ambitious designs of its leaders The defectioa of a leader,-the dishonesty ofa? official, the failure of a t< present a tive to reflect the wishes of his cont intents, have no other effect than to arouse the pc'pic. to greater caution in the selection of their public servants The great political body is sound; its faults aie few, anJ, when discovered, easily remedied. A* the present con li tiou of thu party is as worthy of com hiendati hi as its past, so tho future will add. rather lhau detract, from its glory. We have much' to do; the work so well iiocompl she?a having brought other and larger duties for the patty to perform : To disarm ignorance, suppress vice, pro tect labor, encourage i in migration, de vel -pe our wounderful resources, protect the pubi c credit, adapt the national our rency to thu wants of the public, aud to mainta in justice and secure honesty iu every frui tion of tho land und every h:ancli cd the (i <>\ c: uuuut. aie duties us imposing as any that nave been laid upon the party in the past.? fZiCchonjfc ? ????? - - ? ? A DiilVmicc ul' Opinion. Tl ero is a slig'il difference of opinion between Donmorats, North and South. The hard-shells of tlu 8outh insist on keeping Democracy on tho old Calhouu platform, while their brethren of tho North as strongly insist ou tearing up the old planks ami replacing them ?villi timber stolen from the Republican reservat ions. To gain a now lease ol power Northern Democrats are willing 10 make any sacrifice. To support the family pride,and keep up the pot theory ot "a whito mao's government'* South ern Democrats refuse to yield their old pro-elavery principles. The Southern Hcntiment is honestly ctated iu the fol lowing extract from the Memphis Avalanche, (Dem): "In fact the old Democratic party managers havo been (brood by tho inex orable logio of events to surrender crory tbing but tho name. To this they still cling in most of 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 p ist few years. As a measure of policy no objection can be tnado j but to deliberntely smash one pavlisau creed, filch a new one from one's enemy, and then insist that, be cause bearing the old nsme it is still the same old creed, is to speak mildly, ar rant hypocrisy. Tho doctrine held by A. II. Stephens, by Robert Toombs, by .Jefferson Davis, enuueiuted in tho Dem ocratic platforms of 18G4 aud 18G3, by Blunlou Duncan's Rourbcn Convention which nominated Charles O'Couor for 1'rcsidcul lust year, is tho 'ancient Dem ocratic fuitb.' It ij the simon puro ar ticle. All other brands aro spurious ; yet not a 'Democratic' Convention, North or South, new ventures to incor porate it ip a platform. If the old par tisan creed?as is tho fact?has beeu utterly al audoned; if to m.nin'nin a .struggle lor mere existonce it lus b; como necessary?as is tho fact?to adopt, to so great an extent, tho Repub lican party pi it form, why c!ic;? to the old Democratic nn:no, especially since that name has become so unpopular as to biing defeat to auy organization tint bears it? Thin is answered by a few heroics ovor tho past career of thr>. olJ party. Rut of what avail ? They can not change minorities to majorities. Public confidence in a political party ouce lost cau uuvor bo restored." Tlio I'ittaburg AW, (Dem ) publish ed in cooler latitude, differs slightly in opiaiou from the above extract. It ?ays : "Tho Democratic party has been out of power for twelve years. During all tb.it period it has boon gaining strength, ! and but for the ucgro vnto it would at this moment hold possession of our Mate aud Geuernl Government.

Wh n that glorious old political party dies it ?..ill be proof that tho Constitution has bceu utterly destroyed, und that the last hope for man's self governmeut has perished from tho earth." Pmi it'S. Panics, like extensive conflagrations, have small beginnings, A spark has within i' the power to lay in asl.es the largest city. If fed I y combustiblp material; it t-oon becomes a flame, before which iron melts ind grauttc crumbles into dust. So with panics. Words of suspicion are the sparks that leads to financial conflagrations. Distrust is breathed from owe to anbbhor; instead of being quieted by calm advice, it is led by popular excitement. Those who have leafct to io.-e are tho loudest in their croaking* over coming fail.ires. A ru-!i is made to s:'.crifi ?* st u-k that is both profitable aud s.ife ; it is thrown upon tho market aloig with funoy and worth i l'^ss stock. A sem-o of insecurity seizes tho buyer, and the result is, no sales, or I ruinous sacrifices of stock t'i it only needed tho restoration of eunfidauco to i be worth more than ever. When a fire j bro: ks out, efforts ate tnudo to ouofiue it within its original limits. Hut the breaking cut of distrust in a community is the signal, not for united efforts to ect.Coe it within its legitimate bounds, or 'is suppression, but for a general rush to Iced the flames by gossip, ill omened prophecy, or groundless rumors of some indefinable calamity. A rum ir starts, affecting the financial standing of soma bank official. It matters little whether it bo true or false ; the whisper is soen trau.-tormad into a storm. A sudden ran in niado upon tho bauk ; then upon other banks, ant il the whole community is iu a ferment. If the bauks hnvo facilities for prompt conver sion of aecuritios iuto cash, tho storm insy blow ovor ; but if distrust is wide spread, money is locked up or held for -ell protection, and banks that are perfectly sound are drivon by sheer necessity to suspend payment. No reasouublo man can expect a banker to pay interest on deposit* aud keop those deposits locked iu his safe-, ready to be ' returned without a moment's notice; yet tnca who claim to be reasonable act at titnaa as if tho thought this to bo the case. Hunks pay interest upon money, because they can loau the money received for a higher rate of interest j than they pay. They tako securities for monoy loaned. T j convort ihote into money requires time ; and thos* ] having deposits should be considerate enough to grant it. The best ba.uk in the country may be forced to suspend payment ia the face of an unexpected and unreasonable donsaud, especially if | popular excitement has so unsettled value? as to rendor tho conversion ef! securities iuto caah altuo.t impossible. Panics hhould be stopped at the moment of their inception. Men of ability aud judgmont should unite to tjuiot popular distrust. Confidence should be strength ened by every legitimate means. Deposi tors, unless they havo good reason* for domunding pay moot, should assist, rather thin cripplo, the bank whose credit and standing they depend upon. Exceptional cases of failure tu iy occur at any time, but a panic, such asroeeot ly iwept over tho financial centres ol the country, ought to be an impossibility. We tru?t that the press of the land will exert its powerful iufluenco towards mai*itaiuiag a. healthy eta'c of public confidence. ?nr Kost Mon for Ofllco. To destroy tho Itepublicau party because a few dishonest men havo crept into ofiico through its power, would be as wise as the killing of n healthy indi vidual because a few boils trouble him. The party neror was more healthy than at present. The few officials that are proven dishonest, arc, to tho jgroat bo ly politic, what the spots on the Run are to the blazing orb that gives us light and warmth. 'As long as tlii masses' of tho part, itself. Every Repablicin eonveu-' tio:? which has met thus far lias place 1 i:s blf on record as being determined to orive men from office who fail to prac tice economy and honesty iu their public ditties. We shall cover free ourselves ? ntircly from too influence of bad men. Thoy will c.eep into powor in spite of the proutiut core and watchfulnoas. Wc nan. however, throw an increased pro tection around the public scrvioo by a more tliorough examination of the char s etcr of tht m^n who present theraselvbs for our support. A good citizen will i oner ally mukv n good official. This is a simple rule which, if practice 1 iu the selection of candidites, will greatly pro tect the public interests. Inquiro iuto the private character of the man who wants your vote, and if you find him honest, industrious, charitable', a good neighbor, and a public spirited citi/.eu, y\ u cau aaf Jy give him your veto and support. You may run the risk, even then, of beiu - cheated; but the'ehadcea will be so email that you can well afford the risk. Hut to expect to seeurc an honest official, in the man who never pays his . debts, who takes advantage of Ii s neighbor, whose character is staiuel by iutemperanco or profanity, is to expect a clear baltnee sheet in the other world without payingyour printer's bill iu thii.

Who would think of condemning r worthy merchant because hedisoovcred in Iiis employ a dishonest clerk't Sympa thy, rather ihuu blamo, would bo ex tendod to him, and every fair miudod man would approve the prompt di.mis sal, and, il the law wae violated, the I'pcrAl) ptiuishiueai of tho oflettder. Why, then, should our opponouts denounce the Republican party booauso it dis covers among its thousands of officials a few exceptional oasts of dishonesty ? The party repudiates tho acts 6f die honesty, and iho people put their stamp of condemnation, not only upon the oficuce, but upou the offender. No act of dishonesty, or official guilty of crimo ; no ij ttesttunable or iniquitous measures have ever beeu condoned or protected by the Republican party. As soon as known, an earnest protest has gone up against them, and those involved have boon called to a strict acoouut This is all that can be done. Individuals are liable to bo deceived. A party can rise no higher nor better divine the future than the individuals who compcee it.
