tlT" Oh, Grant asd thr Preuidest.
It is woll known that President JoIidbod and
' the Democrat, have long tried to inveigle
Ceo. Grant, and get Urn to commit Lirutetf
to their policy, and if possible to become
their candidate for the Presidency. The
President lias attempted to impeach the
veracity of Gen. Grant, in charging him with
having promised to hold on to the office of
Secretary of War, or rcs!gn it before Sucre
tary Stanton could be reinstated by the
Senate. Geo. Grant, in his last letter to the
President, denies most indignantly that lie
tfer made any such promise, and charges
the President with "an attempt to involve
him in resistance of law, for which the
Presidont himself hesitated In assume the
responsibility, in order to do'roy his
"Grant's,) character before the count.?." It
i dow a simple question of veracity between
the General and the President, and on such
an issue the President will stand nowhero.
HT"Tlie Ohio democracy are in great
tribulation. The election for Congress in
the eighth district, to fill a vacancy has re
sulted in a Republican triumph. Vallandig
ham, who has been defeated for United
States Senator, by his own party, who thought
him too odious even for the Democracy,
rontends the State is lost by cowardly
Democrats who were afraid to serve the
rebels openly as be did.
ITho Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
all the Judges concurring, bus made a de
cision restoring to the Connelisville Railroad
Company alt its rights and franchises, which
were unjustly taken from it by the Legisla
ture. The Legislature hag since concurred
with tho Court.

Attempt to Murder his Colonel. The
parrisou at Camp Scliofielti, near Lynchburg,
Va., was thrown into a state of grent excite
ment on Saturday afteruoon, by a bold and
daring attempt on the part of a soldier to
inuracr ms superior otticer, Colonel Thomas
L.. ltoso. I be circumstances are, that late
in the cvcninc the soldier called at th
cjuartcrs of Colonel Rose, rcqtiestinir a few
moments' private conversation with him out
side Tho Colonel, in compliance, soon
emorged from the door of the buildin
whereupon the soldier instantly leveled his
musket at the Colonel and fired, the ball
passing between the arm and the body, and
inrougu tne sleeve ot t be coat, without in
fiictiug a wouud. A violent and desperate
struggle ensued, which ended in the Col.'s
wrestling the musket from tho grasp of the
oKiier, ana siriKlug mm on the head w ith
tho butt, breaking his skull. Tho cause of
the attack of the soldier is unknown.
The Sheriff of Luzcrnecountv had levied
on and advertised for sale all the property
and franchises of tbe Union Coal Company.
Oue portion of this property was acquired
last year, tha price paid being $1,750,000.
The property of this Company, situated in
Wayne county, was sold somo weeks ago,
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
becoming the purchaser, as it doubtless will
be of the property located in Luzerno county.
Indeed, it is quite piobable Hie Union Coal
Company was organized for the express pur
pose of being sold out ; its property and
franchises thus falling into the possession of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company.
This will work an augmentation of its pri
vilegas which it could hardly have obtained
from the Legislature. Pittsburg GaittU.
Lancaster county hus a Republican major
ity of 6.0U0. The rate of taxation in that
county for the current year is two and a half
mills on a dollar. York couuty has a Do- 1
mocratic majority of Dearly 3,000, and the
rate of taxation lor county purposes is seven
mills on the dollar. Berks county has a De
mocratic majority of 6,000, or thereabouts,
and a county rate of ten mills on tho dollar.
The diflerencein tho majority between Berks
and York is 3,000, and tho rate of taxation
is, singularly enough, three mills more ono
mill for every additional thousand majority.
IVom thii it would seem that tbe proper
way to reduce taxation, is to cut down the
Democratic majority. Suppose our York
county poople try it and see how it will
operate. York Democrat.

A Man Killed bt his Son is Geohoia.
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, Jan. 25, says :
"We have learned the particulars of a horri
ble and lameutablo occurrence that happened
near Fort Valley yesterday, in which a
father was shot and killed by bis own son.
The unfortunate man was Dr. Jackson, a
brother of the Jackson who killed Col. Ells
worth for hauling down the Confederate
flag from over his hotul at Alexandria, Va.,
during the first year of tbe war. Dr. Jack
son removed to Georgia during the Revolu
tion, and has been residing here ever since.
There had been an angry family altercation,
during which the Doctor is said to have
forcibly ejected his son from his premises,
who thereupon turned and fired upon his
lather twice-killing him. We have not
j cl learned whether the young parricide had
been arrested or not."

Judging of the Interest taken in tha Ques
tion ot education by the people in all parti
of the State, w are convinced that there
baa been a new feeline created bv some
powerful influence, on the subject of our
puuuo scnoois. Toe inland cities boroughs
and towns of the State are reaching out for
all tha advantages to be derived from the
system of public schools ; districts are In
creasing their rate of taxation to secure a
larger and a better class of school houses,
and tho salaries of teachers are being in
creased that the very highest order of talent
for the grade of schools to be taught, can be
retained. Wo aro . not prepared to say
whence the influence for good is derived;
whether It is due to a sudden impulse on
the part of tho people, springing from their
own judgment on the subject, or whether
tbe increased vigor which l'rol. wicKersham
has infused in the general systom of educa
tion, has brought about this great change in
favor of liberality, on the part of the people.
for the cause of education. Whatever is the
influence at work, we are satisfied it is doing
an immense amount of good, and that its
tendency is to place our system of education
on a still firmer and broader basis, promising
to make it ultimately of the first importance
to the people of the Commonwealth. We
congratulate all concerned in this grand
work, on the chcerinc evidence thev have
of its splendid success in all parts of the
Diato. narrittiurg state Guard.
The prinxr l.lectloit.
A circular issued bv Senator Wallace
Chairman of the Democrat State Central
Committee, lias by this timo impressed our
friends with the necessity of looking well
to the spriug elections, a our opponents hare
oeen inmruciea oy tietr leaden to take ectry
adrantage to tecure the control of election
boarcli. Wo doubt if evcrsirailur instruc
tions were delivered to anv nartv bv its
manngers. The idea is to eet tho control of
election boards, not that there is a danger
ot legal voters being deprived of the right
to vote, but that Jruud may bo committed
wun impunity.
All wo ask of our Republican friends is
to see that the election laws are complied
with, that our opponents secure no unfair
advantages. Republican measures need no
mcKcry to advance their success ; they de
penil alone on the law of the land for vindi
cation, and fraud is never so unbecoming as
wnen resorted to to insure victory tor
good cause. All we ask our friends to do
is to turn out at the spring election. See
that the right kind of men are elected judges
and inspectors that we carry our usual
municipal officers and that the proper vigi
lant committees lor wards and townships
are appointed. The great struggle of Piov,
next, requires immediate action and pre
paration. That struggle will finally
decide the tate of the nation, since U tut
Republican party should lose power, no hu
man enort will be strong enough to save the
nation from ruin. Harritburg State Guard.
Railroad Accidents How Reporter Ob
tain Incorrect Information. Seldom has
there been anything more truthfully written
tnan tne louowing which we nnd in the col
umns of au exchance. It savs :
We frequently hear complaints made bv
railroads officials that the newspapers pub
lish exaggerated accounts of accidents oc
curring on their roads. Perhaps they would
like to know how reporters are mislead in
inesc matters. Here is one way : An ncct
nent occurs on a certain road ; the enter
prising local, ever alive to the interests of
bis paper, rushes at onco to the office of the
road, and asks tho person in charge whath
knows concerning the accident. Nine times
out of ten, he is either "snubbed," or
erufflv informed that no accident had oc
curred, or that it didn't amount to much
generally some answer that is not by an
meaus satisfactory, and upon which he could
not venture to baso on item. Whilo his
ardcr is not. in the leant dampened by these
rebuilt, he is not by nny manner of meaus
satisDcd with the result ot his diligent in
quiries at "these headquarters." What
next ? The "indefatigable-" turns his ntten
tion to other quarters. Tho word of
brakeman who was not there, but heard
about it a tram boy, or even an "intelli
gent contraband," is received as gospel, and
published. And why ? Because ho has
some reason to suspect that the official wh
"snubbed" him knew something and didn'
care to mention it.
lu this manner reports of railroads disas
ters, not of the most reliable character, some
times find their way to the public ear. In
view of tho excessive tenderness exhibited
by railroad officials on this poiut, it is a
matter of wonder that they arc so long in
adopting measures to prevent the publica
tion of what they stylo incorrect information.
The remedy is in their own hands. Let
them see to it that reporters are treated with
the courtesy that is due to gentlemen ; let
them issue orders requiring thnso in charge
of the telegraphs to use their wires when re
porters are around. We simply adviso them
to adopt the above suggestions in self-defence.
Should they do so, we venturo to
say they will not again have cause to com
plain in such cases, uulcss it is their ow n de
sire to suppress the truth, and they are
caught in au attempt to impose upon the
newspapers, and, through them, upon the
public.
