J llflt our
Ty is entitle! to the
next Congressman, ni advocated in
our lost issue, meets with a hearty
"nye," from her Republican citizens.
In fact, it is the general understanding
that she ooiiies in for the honors. Un
pretending and at no time demonstra
tive, they have always been trodden
upon by those more greedy and un
scrupulous, without many words of
complaint. This time they are keen
ly alive to a sense of their rights, and
we are assured that throughout our
county the fueling of magnanimity,
hitherto predominant, is becoming
supplanted by that of indignation at
the thought of again being shelved ly
onr aspiring sifter counties. We are
in need of some iiu-aim by which
the growth of our own section may be
promoted. Long content that our
views politically should have correct
representation in national legislation,
it is now that Greene County should
look to a representation of her com
mercial and financial interests. The
election of one of her active influential
citizens to the next Congress, is strictly
a great contribution to that end. We
must have a hearing before the world,
and it will be no unreasonable request,
we opine, if Greene county insist that
those indebted to her for like favors
should be called upon in this crisis to
extend a friendly hand. It is unne
cessary to rehearse the many reasons
why. There is only need of knowing
5t is duo us. If left to battle alone,
the heavy vote polled against ns must
crush out all hopes of ever attaining
that prosperity and advancement which
would make us the peer of any county
in the Commonwealth.
There are two potent reasons, then,
for granting the honor to our County.
First that it is in all fairness and equity,
our turn. Second, we are tired of be
ing "let alone "
"Jerk" Black, private counselor
and man Friday for Andy Johnson,
withdrew from the Impeachment case
last week. This bodes no good for
The Impeached. Black requested
him to resign and escape tho igno
miny consequent to a finding of "guil
ty" by the Court, which Johnson re
fused and hence the withdrawal. Not
withstanding the influence of Black
has always been extended in aid ol
treason and oppression, and although
secession was the pet theory of the
man, it cannot be denied that ho is
possessed of keen sagacity and talent
(sufficient to make but a strong case
for the very worst of causes and cli
ents. This duplicity, tact anljwisdom,
howcvcr,pale3 before the ineffectual ef
orts of a traitor President to sub
stantiate himself in the right to over
throw our republican Government and
establish a dictatorship ! The retiring
of the eminent (in one sense) jurist and
lawyer Is the hauling in of the last
plank by which Johnson could hope
to board the craft Democracy. It is
our only regret that he was not al
lowed tor shfp, for the old tub will
hardly get an offing until the gales of
Jfovembcr next will sweep her from
the seas of political strife and send
the whole crew to the political ob
livion. We spoke before of the aspersions
regarding our Congressman elect, by
correspondents of the Pittsburg press
fn Beaver County. In advocating
the claims of that county they inti
mate that Mr. Iawrcncc has "used
the office as his own" and contemplates
securing it tor another term, in so
far as the first charge is concerned we
have no words cither way. Political
wire working never affected its much
and in this case we believe the connec
tion, is entirely severed. As to the
latter,, we totally disclaim all belief in
its- veracity. Mr. Lawretce has re
peatedly told it in our midst that this
was his last termr that he wished "to
retire from political 6tci&,ubis health
would not permit him to servs us
longer, eto." Why should b when
thus . outspoken", ba calumniated ?
. Surely, he is not a believer in the- life
Uam system of office-holding?'

Mow mighty quiet some people
have kept about the "bond-barons,"
"money-kings," etc., since it has been
definitely settled that the people will
pay the national debt according to the
letter of the contract i It seemed, the
way they "took on" about it, that
they were about to sweep the debt out
of existence and, wo really believe.
they would repudiate it to-day if were
possible without offending the great
masses. They thought at first to ex
cite the predjudiees of the poor against
the rich, to blind the nrttxHii mill tlin
laborer by the veil of falsehood. How
well they might have succeeded can
not be told, had it not been
)i) tucli ad listened lavor-
ably that it would rob our toiling
millions.
The New York Evening Post has
ascertained, by careful inquiry, that of
tho five richest men in New York city
only two are holders of United States
lionds, nnd these only to a very incon
siderable amount, nnd that among
those who return incomes of over one
hundred thousand dollars in New
York and Brooklyn, about the same
relative proportion of bondholders ex
ists. On the other hand, the savings
banks of New York hold forty-nine
millions of bonds as investments for
the funds of their do)ositors, the inter
est of which, deducting the expenses of
the banks, is paid to -188,501 of the
laboring men and women of New
York semi-annually. Of tho several
classes of "aristocratic bondholders"
whose money is thus invested, the
largest in numbers are first, domestics j
second, laborers; third, seamstresses;
fourth, clerks; fifth, tailors; sixth,
waiters, and seventh, cartmcn. A list
of the occupations of the "bloated aris
tocrats" who receive tho dividends of
the 0-20 bonds, taken from one of the
savin us hanks ot tlie city, shows the
following assortment : Artists, bakers,
butchers, baf-tenders, blacksmiths,
boarding-house keepers, lioatmen,
boiler makers, book binders,
cart men, coachmen, carpenters, clerks,
domestics, engineers, farmers, fisher
men, gardeners, hatters, masons, huck
sters, junk dealers, laliorers, milkmen,
milliner!), nurses, ostlers, peddlers,
porters, plumbers, seamstresses, shoe
makers, soldiers, tailors, tanners.
washerwomen, waiters, and weavers.
The Life Insurance Companies of
Xcw York hold twenty millions of
the bonds as security for the persons,
in all parts of the country, who hold
their polit ies, and tho Fire Insurance
Companies hold forty-six millions as
security fur their customers. A very
large sum is held in the form of trust
estates for the benefit of widows an 1
orphans under order of the courts.
Three hundred millions are held by
the National Bunks as security for
their bill holders.
Those arc the persons Democracy
would make penniless and bankrupt.
It is not strange that they would now
recede with the tide of public opinion.
This cannot be ! They have made
them a record of infamy in war,' and
in peace they shall be branded as
thieves and banditti. More unscru
pulous than they never tried :sta id
and deliver!'' A Claude Duvall, or a
Morrill might tVo the purse but
Democracy would disrobe the body
and filch from the stomach 1
Says Senator Wade :
"Now they talk of taxing these
bonds. When a man talks that way,
look him in the face, and you look
in the face of a penitentiary bird. I
would not trust such a man as that in
my sheep pasture after dark!"

tr; Miller, President of our Insti
tution, in the last issuo of the Presby
terian, speaks thus eucouragingly and
pointedly concerning the interests and
condition of the school :
The last session of the College was
a very pleasant one, and prospects
indicate a larcje increase of students
next term. Never were the general
prospects of the College better than at
this time. We do not know a' siiurle
element hostile to it, at home or abroad,
worthy of consideration. It seems to
enjoy the confidence and command the
respect, as it certainly rw
SJfJpBSSWCT, I'l it tJlll.l VMI g'Ul'lll, mr
out regard to political party or relig
ious sect. While it is nnder the fos
tering rare of a Synod of a particular
branch of the Church, we believe that
all acquainted with its internal affairs
will testify that it is conducted upon
such generous and unsccturitui princi
ples as render its instructions and other
privileges equally available to all,
regardless of sect or party.
It is the desire and intention of the
Board of Trust to collect all notes due
at the earliest possible period. Aside
from other advantages that will be
gained by having the endowment fund
collected, it is known to some of our
readers that tho School Department
is looking to arrangements designed to
aid the colleges of tho State, and one
condition on which such aid will be
granted is that the college receiving it
must have a certain amount of invested
funds. The bill recently prepared,and
to come before the legislature, proposes
to gio each college that fills the
requsiteconditions, five thousand dollars
a year. Should this bill pass, we shall,
for the present at least, not come within
its provisions, both because our endow
ment fund is inadequate and also be
cause much of what is pleged is not
collected. ' In this proposed measure
wo have a motive for increasing our
fund ns rapidly as possible and for
collecting all obligations now due. "We
are sure no true friend of tho College
will complain of being asked to lift a
note that ho may hnve voluntarily
given nnd that may now bo due
especially when so much depends upon
the prompt collection of tho fund.
Those acquainted with the opera
tions of the College during any part of
its history need not be told that it has
accomplished a good work. It has
originated an influence that can never
lie. Each year that influence widens
ind deepens. Already hundreds of
intelligent young men nnd young
women look to this centre of learning
with an interest that they feel in no
other. Here they will gather in
coming years to revive and cherish the
feelings of their school-life, and to
bring their offerings of respect nnd
gratitude and gifts of hundreds nnd
thousands of dollars to their Alma
Hater. '

As has already been announced, a
bill is before the Legislature authoriz
ing the construction of a railroad from
ISrownsvillo to urecnumrg, wlneli is
intended to cross the Yotighioghcny
river at or near Dawson's Station. The
Uniontown Standard says:
"It is said tho Pennsylvania Rail
road offers to contribute 10,000 per
mile towards its construction. While
that road had its foot on the Councils-
ville road, nothing could be got out of
it totvanls a road in this region, but
now it is anxious to injure and cripple
it. It is a huge monster, with its head
in Philadelphia, nnd stretches out its
claws in every place where it can gath
er prow for that city. In the mean
time the Lonnelisvillo road has au
thority to make a road from this place
to Brownsville, and we arc told that it
will make it. It seems to us our
Brownsville friends would bo as well
served by this proposed road as that to
ureensburg. J heir shortest anil nest
route to the seaboard is by the Con
nellsvillc road to Baltimore. We hard
ly think the past hostility of the Penn
sylvania road to this section of the
State entitles it to the confidence of
our people.

TUB BEDUCriO OF TAXES.
Our cumbersome system of Inter
nal Taxation, remarks the N. Y. Ob
server, has been a trial and vexation to
the people. Loud have been the com
plaints and urgent the appeals to
Congress, requesting a revision of tho
whole system. So great was tho
pressure brought to hear upon Con
gress when it first assembled last
December, that when appropriation
bills were introduced they were severe
ly pruned, nnd the peojifo had reason
to rejoice that the era of exlrnviiimiir
and waste in publio offices were about
to cease, and economy and a conse
quent reduction of l"'-T-1'r.r a j
pwwmi o in iuht, WUI3 IU uu UIU IC-
sults. Thu bill exeinptinir manufac
turers from taxation was therefore
highly commended, as it would re
lieve the many branches of domestic
manufactures from the burdens which
were gradually destroying them. To
remove this tax from overeight thous
and different articles, would, of course,
diminish the revenue, and it was
reasonable to expect that the expenses
of the Government would bo corres
pondingly reduced, but if we arc to
judge by the action of the Senate, there
is to be no further retrenchment.
Tho house may pass bills reducing
expenditures, but, us Senator Morrill
truly said : "It has been found, that
whenever a bill proposing increased
expenditures conies up here, enough
are alwavs ready to pass it; nnd to
suppose that nn appropriation bill from
tho Jlouse will pass the Senate with-
an addition of thirty to forty millions
ot dollars, is tlic sublimity ot luim bug
gery." It Congress thus persists in following
out this plan, the country must neces
sarily expect a large deficit at tho close
ot the next hseal year.
Secretary McLullough, in a recent
letter to the Senate Finance Commit
tee on this measure, argues tho pas
sage of the bill will not only result in
the loss to the Government ol the rev
enues Iieretoloro derived from those
articles, but in a reduction of the cus-
tum receipts.
We hope that this tax will bo re
moved from all onr manufacturing in
terests, even if our expenses am not
curtailed ; but a good part of the ben
efit to bo derived will bo lost, if u
largo reduction in expenditures, which
is perfectly feasible is it not also
made.

About five minutes before nine
o'clock last Saturday night a fire
broke out in the nail factory of Messrs
Graff, Bennet & Co., located in Mon
ongahela borough, nearly opposite the
foot of Market street. In the same
building with the factory was the
sheet and nail mill, and with such
rapidity did the fire spread that the
whole building was enveloped in
flames in a few moments. It was
frame, was 130 by 80 feet, nnd stoo;'.
ojliJiC-IUuks oiYheMnnongiihcla riv
er. When the fire was first discovered
it was burning in the nail factary near
the furnace. The nlarrn was immedi
ately given, and the peoplo on the
South Side at once flocked to the scene
of tho fire. Tho flames completely
destroyed the factory, together with 200
kegs of nails, which were stored in tho
building, nnd which it was impossible
to save. The machinery and the nail
machines, forty-three in number, lire
so much damaged as to be of scarcely
any me. The bridge across the street
from the bar mill, over which coal in
cars were taken to supply the factory,
was also burned down. 1 ho roof of
the building was of sheet iron, nnd did
not fall in until every support was
burned from under it. This accounts
for tho stacks still remaining standing.
Only ono fell, and that one when the
root went down.
The cause of tho fire is nt present a
mystery. Work was stopped in the
factory at noon on Saturday, and tho
fire did not break out until nine o'clock
that night. Tho loss will probably
reach $30,000, on which wo believe
there is an insurance 820,000, divided
among the following companies : Eu
reka, German and North American, of
Pittsburgh.
We tire informed that this disaster
will throw about one hundred men out
of employment. In September, 18IJG
the works met with a similar fate, but
were rebuilt and operations resumed in

The Wisconsin State Journal gis'es
the following exposure of the Bates
Flag-March through tho South :
Thu whole affair was arranged by
some Copperhead politicians for a little
cheap buncombe. Sergeant Bates, fiir
some time before the beginning of his
"march," lived nt Edgerton, a small
village on the railroad about 25 miles
east of this city. A citizen of Edger
ton, who was in our office it few days
ago, savs the story that ho laid a wa
ger with another citizen of that place
that he could carry n United states
flag through tho Southern States has no
foundation. Bates is a young and
worthless fellow and n violent Demo
crat. During the war ho was a mem
ber of nn artillery company stationed
at Washington but was never engaged
in nny battle, nnd saw no service more
SL'i'io'is than drawing his rations and
spending his pay about tho capital
Last Full he went to Milwaukee, nnd,
after nn absence of some days, there
appeared on tho Democratic side of
lliehccmng Wisconsin a long sensa
tional account of tho tremendous
march which Sergt. Bates, in accor
dance with n wnger, was about to un
dertake through the Southern States.
From time to time Tlie Wisconsin gave
a column in tlic best sensational style
of one ol the Democratic editors, and
other Democratic papers nnd some Re
publican papers began to have para
graphs ami longer articles about Sergt.
Bates. When he left Edgerton, it was
understood that ha would be provided
with n suit of black velvet and n flag
by his patrons on reaching Louisville
Ky,, the dress being devised to impart
a romantic look to the flag-liearer.
Meantime word was passed through
the South, and the progress of Sergt.
Bates has been made the occasion for
demonstrations by the Scccsh clement
of simulated enthusiasm over the na
tional flag. The whole affair is a very
cheap trick.

A ydung man is now stopping at
the Key City House, by the name of
Oeorge W. Porter, whose parents,
brothers, sisters and relatives were nil
murdered nt Redwood, Minn., in the
great Indian massacre of IStil. He
is the sole survivor, nnd was tlie only
one left to communicate the mournful
intelligence to the nearest settlement.
Bereft in on? brief hour of ull that he
held dear on earth, and with tha vic
tims of savage ferocity extended in
death before him, ho took a solemn
Vvwot vengeance. How well ho has
performed that vow tho reader may
judge when we state that iu six years
young Porter has, alone, and with the
assistance of nothing but his trusty ri
fle sent to tlie happy hunting grounds
thcsoulsof one hundred and eight Indi
an braves !
He carries with him a piece of cam-
brake, about twelve inches in length
and whenever he killed an In liuu ho
would make n notch on this. ( hie
hundred and eight notches are to be
counted on thu piece of cane nliuded
to, tho last ono being on Christmas

an avenging Nemesis on tho footsteps
of those who havo slaughtered his
kindred. Tho Indians killed embrace
representatives from nearly every tribe
on tho plains. By night and by day
he followed them ; through tho track

veil lu'oclaimcd that another redskin
liad been sent to his final account, and
sated with blood the vengeance of his
pursuer. Porter has not passed
through thcie scenes unscathed. His
body has been riddled by eleven bul
lets, and slashed in thirty-three places
by the knile. Iiiit he has withstood
nil, come out victorious, and now, ex
