OK*VI AMI THE FRESII>KXY.
A meeting of the hondholding na
bobs of New York city, held a few
days ago, nominated Gen. U. S. Grant
for President. A. T. Stewart, the
"merchant-prince," Vanderbilt and
Astor, the "money-kings," John
Cochrane, political will o'*the wisp,
et id omtiegenus, were the leading spir
its of the concern. The meeting was
composed entirely of "bow-backed"
Republicans, the resolutions which it
adopted, containing not one syllable in
endorsement of Congressional "Recon
struction." The object of the meeting,
it was announced by those who did the
talking, was to run Grant for Presi
dent, without regard to the action of
either of the two great political par
ties of the country. Itissaidthat the
General accepts this nomination and
will stand upon the platform put for
ward by Stewart & co. This state
ment, however, is not well authentica
ted, and may, or may not, be true.
If Grunt is to be the nominee of the
Radical party, we are glad that he has
first been nominated by these bond
holders. If he accepts this nomination,
he is politically dead and—condemned.
No man, no matter who he is, whence he
comes, or what his pretensions, if he be
in the interest of the bondholders, can be
elected to the Presidency. In sheer self
defence, the people are compelled to
demand that taxation shall be equal,
and, therefore, cannot vote for any can
didate who is not openly and avowedly
in favor of taxing Government bonds,
much less for one who is the favorite
of the bond-holders themselves. Hence,
if Grant becomes the candidate of
Stewart & co., he is a "dead cock in the
pit."
As for the Radicals, they appear to
be so intensely alarmed at the tendency
of popular feeling, that they will,
doubtless, take Grant, fearing to risk
the race with any other candidate.
But Grant's supposed strength, on ac
count of his military prestige, is an idle
fancy, and his want of statesmanship,
■" inexperience in civil office, and pro
verbially defective knowledge of the
English language, will more than coun
terbalance his once great, but now de-
eaying, popularity as a General. Be
sides, if he becomes the candidate of
the Radicals, he must shoulder the
load of crazy theories and monstrous
doctrines which they have promulga
ted ; he must carry the ponderous bur
den of "Military Reconstruction,"
Mumbo-Jumbo "constitutions," Ne
gro Suffrage and African Supremacy
in ten States of the Union. Whether
the Radical National Convention en
dorse Congress, or not, is of little con
sequence. Their candidate will inevi
tably inherit the odium that attaches
to their party organization, on account
of their tyrannical, extra-constitution
al and fool-hardy legislation. If Gen.
Grant be fool enough to attempt to
walk up the White House steps with
such a load upon his back, the num
ber eight boots that kicked Stanton out
of the War Office, will probably stum
ble. Our own humble opinion is that
U. S. Grant would like very much to
be President, and will accept the Radi
cal, or any other, nomination that may
be given him. In fact, he is the very
man whom we desire the Radicals to
nominate. We think he can be more
easily beaten, or, if by some strange
chance heshould be elected, moreemily
captured , than any other prominent
person in the Radical party.
DETROIT, Jan. 2. —The First Nation
al Bank of Bay City, Mich., failed to
day. The affairs of the bank are re
ported to be in a bad condition. De
posits amount to about $7c,000.
Such is the story! Yet we were told
that the National Bank system could
not possibly become subject to "fail
ures." Why not wipe out these banks,
by substituting for the bonds deposited
for their security, their value in Gov
ernment greenbacks? This would
save the interest on some four hun
dred millions of bonds and give the
public a safer currency.
CHARLESTON, S. C'., Jan. A pass
enger train was fired into last night by
negroes, between BranehviMo and
Columbia. No one was hurt, but to
allay public apprehension, General
Canby is (idled on by the press to pro
hibit'the carrying of deadly weapons
by both whites and blacks.
Now, why don't the Radicals howl?
Why don't some of them say some
thing about the "spirit of rebellion"
that is exhibited by these marauding
blacks? Ah ! the boot is on the other
foot. The negroes are firing into rail
road trains, now, and the Radical press,
the Radical stumpers, and the Radi
cal Congressional spouters, are silent as
the grave.
THE Legislature met on Tuesday last.
We have, as yet, heard nothing con
cerning the organization.
HIMBO-JIMBO.
The Radicals still persist in their at
tempt to force upon the unwilling peo
ple of the United States, their diaboli
cal scheme for the "reconstruction"
of the excluded States. They deliber
ately refuse to heed the voice of the
people, though uttered in tones of
thunder in all the late elections. They
contemn the warning given them by
their masters, the Sovereign People.
They grope 011 in the Egyptian dark
ness of the fearful labyrinth in which
they are involved, prefering rather to
perish in their mad undertaking than
to seek safety in retracing their erring
steps. They have determined that
their black allies shall rule the South,
and are pushing forward the work of
the Mumbo-Jumbo Conventions, with
all the celerity of which the sable ex
cotton-pickers and tobacco-field-hands
are capable. The Alabama Conven
tion has finished its labors, and sub:
mitted a "Constitution" which is so
despotic in character that the more in
telligent negroes, and even some of
the white Radicals, openly protest a
gainst its adoption. It disfranchises
all who refuse to vote upon the ques
tion of the adoption of the Constitu
tion. It prohibits the establishment of
separate schools for white children and
forbids the separation of whites and
blacks in railroad cars, steamboats and
other public carriages. It apportions
the State for members of the Legisla
ture, so as to give the negroes, who are
in a minority in the State, the control
of that body. Such is the work of the
carpet-bag adventurers from New
England, who under the auspices of
the Radical party, organized the Loyal
Leagues by which the negroes are
banded together for the overthrow of
white civilization in the South.
Through the instrumentality of these
nuncios of the Devil, Mumbo-Jumbo
reigns supreme upon the throne of
"Reconstruction." Mumbo-Jumbo
controls the nominating conventions;
Mumbo-Jumbo does the voting; Mum
bo-Jumbo frames "Constitutions;" and
Mumbo-Jumbo expects soon to "be de
member ob Congo-rest from dis yar
districk." All this while the people
of the North are paying the piper who
pipes the pleasant tunes to which the
dance of Mumbo-Jumbo keeps such
excellent time. How delightful a
thing it is to sweat out one hundred and
thirty millions per annum, in taxes, in
order to enjoy the agreeable amuse
ment or seeing the Southern Negroes
make Constitutions to disfranchise the
White Man! Go on, Radical Con
gress! Go on, if you think there is no
h—ereafter! The people are harnessed
to your wagon, but lookout when the
traces break!
HON. EDGAR COWAX.
lii the event that the Democratic
nominee for President he taken from
some other State than Pennsylvania,
we have a decided preference for HON.
EDGAR COWAN for the second place
on the ticket. Mr. Cowan deserves
this recognition at the hands of the
Democracy, not only for his fearless and
unwavering advocacy of the Right, but
because of his eminent titness for the
place, to wit: hisability AS a lawyer, his
experience and.soundness as a statesman
and his unflinching integrity as a man.
Who more zealously, or more firm
ly, than Edgar Cowan, stood up for the
defenceof the Constitution during the
stormy years of the war ? Who among
all the public men of our country, show
ed greater independence of the behests
of party, more devotion to the rights of
the people, or less regard for his own
personal advancement? True, he has
not always acted with the Democratic
party. But a Democrat by conviction
is just as good as a Democrat by birth.
We know Mr. Cowan well, and we be
lieve him to be thoroughly imbued
with those Democratic ideas which lie
at the very foundation of our Republi
can system. Freedom of conscience
and of speech, Trial by Jury, the great
writ of right, the Habeas Corpus, the
right of each state to control its own do
mestic affairs, including the regulation
of the suffrage, all these have had an
eloquent and powerful defender in the
person of Edgar Cowan. But, we will
not enlarge upon this subject at present.
We have written this article without
ever having exchanged words with Mr.
Cowan, or with any friend of his, upon
the subject, and we do not know that
he will permit his name to be used in
the connection with which we
have suggested it. Nevertheless, we
are personally for Edgar Cowan, for
Vice President, in the event that the
Presidential nomination does not come
to Pennsylvania.
THE EVENING HERALD, Philadel
phia, is a Democratic afternoon daily,
which was started, some time ago, as
a penny paper, and which has just
been enlarged and otherwise improved.
It is a sound and sprightly journal
C. F. Rein stein and Co. are the pub
lishers.
THE last few wteks have seldom been
surpassed for general slaughter, murder,
rapine, disorderand generaidebauehery
all over the country. The telegraph
wires have scarcely bore any other
news. Wickedness appears to be borne
upon the very air.— lnquirer.
True, every word of it, and no won
der! Congress "acts outside the Con
stitution," its members committing de
liberate perjury in confessedly viola
ting the oaths which they have taken
to support the Constitution , and their
constituents imitate the example in
also "acting outside the Constitution"
and violating the laws passed in pur
suance thereof. Hunnicutt, Lindsey,
and other emiuent Radicals,recommend
the knife and the torch, if negroes are
not permitted to have their way, and
the knife and the torch do follow. —
Many preachers (wolves in sheep's
clothing) have substituted the Negro
and him enfranchised, instead of Christ
and Him crucified, and some of their
flock have strayed into disorder, de
bauchery and crime. Is it any won
der that "wickedness appears to be
borne upon the very air?"
SAVANNAH, GA., January 3.—A. A.
Bradley, a colored member of the con
vention, from Boston, Mass., was ar
rested this evening for threatening
John E. Hays, editor of the Republi
can, and drawing a pistol on him in
the street.
Thus the Associated Press. So it seems
the Radicals had to send a negro from
Boston, in order to fill the number of
"delegates" to the Georgia Mumbo-
Jumbo "Convention." And it seems
that this negro is becoming "chival
rous," and has betaken himself to
"drawing a pistol." And it seemeth
further that this negro has been arrested.
Now, what will become of the Georgia
"Convention?" Will not Georgia
have to stay out of the Union a few
years longer on account of this arrest?
Mind you, Bradley is a "lawyer," the
same admitted to practice in the U. S.
Supreme Court, on motion of Charles
Sumner, a few years ago. How can
Mumbo-Jumbo get along without
him?
The President received the following
dispatch from Memphis to-day, (Jan.3):
"Memphis is redeemed. Leftwitcli
elected mayor. Peace, order and quiet
prevail. Free white suffrage vindica
ted."
Aha ! The bloody old beast, Beelze
bub Brimstone Brownlow, is evidently
losing ground "way down in Tennes
see." He tried his best to force the
election of his candidate in this case,
by interfering with the registration
made by his own Radical officers. But
lie failed most signally. Well, tne
Devil cannot always have things his
own way.
"This is not because Walrussia does
not consist of the hard stuff, or that St.
Thomas is no great shakes, but because
Congress has had a damper thrown over
it."
Thus opines the Inquirer of last week.
We are inclined to concur in this opin
ion, especially as to Congress having
had "a damper thrown over it.-' The
late elections were "pretty much of a
shower." and some congressmen seem
to be anxious to "come in out of the
wet." ____________
THE U. S. Senate is about to go
through the farce of re-instating Stan
ton in the War Office, in order to give
him an opportunity to resign. For
merly, when Congress did not "act
outside of the Constitution," the Pres
ident selected his own cabinet advis
ers. Now, Congress, which appears to
be "the government" at present (the
Executive was when Abe Lincoln was
President) selects it for him. Tempora
mutantur et mwtamur in illis.
THE Philadelphia Age of Saturday
last, has the following article which we
endorse most heartily :
IN the beginning of the new year a
word or two in behalf oft he Democratic
press of the country will not be out of
place. In no way can the party be bet
ter sustained, than by encouraging its
journals. We speak not for ourselves
alone, but for every Democratic news
paper in the Union. Itis the clear duty
of every true friend of the Union and
the Constitution to give this matter his
personal attention. There are large
numbers in every community who are
able to take a Democratic paper, but
who, from some cause or other, do not
do so. The publication of a daily jour
nal in these times is an an arduous busi
ness, and in too many cases is unremu
nerative. The uninitiated have no idea
of the labor and expense attending this
work. The greateramount of patronage
extended to Democratic journals, the
larger will be their field of usefulness.
Let every Democrat think seriously of
this fact, and promptly lend his influ
ence to " the good old eause!"
DISCHARGE OP LABORERS AND
REDUCTION OF WAGES.—A dispatch
from Scranton, Pa., says the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
Company, whose shops have for some
weeks been running on eight hours
time, have notified its employees, of
whom there are nearly one thousand
at Scranton, that a reduction of ten
per cent, in wages would be made, com
mencing on the Ist inst. The Dixon
works, which employ seven hundred
men, gave similar notice, and will dis
charge a numer of single men and those
fortheshortesttimeintheemployof the
company. The Lackawanna Iron
Company recently discharged thirty
carpenters and a considerable number
of laborers and other workmen, and
reduced the wages of others.

NEWS AND OTHER ITEMS.
—The Virginia negroes had a surfeit
of brutality on Christmas day. From
accounts so far received, a negro named
Williams shot and mutilated a white
man named Edwards in a most shock
ing manner in Southampton county.
At Manasses a large body of negroes
made an attack upon a white man, but
finding him prepared, they finally
slunk away. At Lynchburg there is
a deadly feud between the United
States soldiers and the negroes, which
nearly took the shape of a general bat
tle several times during the day. In
Richmond, in the evening, a squad of
soldiers became involved in a fight
with a mob of negroes, but before
much damage was done the police
and a squad of armed soldiers arrived
and stopped the fight. On Thursday
another disturbance occurred between
them, but the soldiers, being in the
minority, were compelled to retreat
before the mob of blacks. The latter
followed, armed with pistols and clubs,
uttering loud cries of "kill uin—kill
the d—d blue coats!" On Friday
night another row occurred, but was
soon quieted by the prompt action of
the military officers and police. These
are but a few of the isolated cases of
outrages and bloodshed.
—Pomeroy, Rump Senator from Kan
sas, liekl a talk with the Richmond
darkies the other night, at the negro
church. He advised the black and tan
convention to confer suffrage upon all
negroes above twenty-one years, and
secure it to them forever. This is rath
er a heavy contract. No Legislature
nor Congress has authority or power to
legislate so lengthy a period, and
a mongrel convention will scarcely be
mightier.
—The Louisiana nigs have put a
clause in the "constitution," compelling
the admission of negroes to all vehicles
of public conveyance, hotels, churches,
schools, theatres, halls, <&e., on full e
quality witli white folks. They had
better now insert a provision compell
ing every white man to carry a skunk
bag in order to prove agreeable to the
company of his African bedfellow or
compagnon da voyage.
—The Radicals are in trepidation o
ver the wail of suffering and sorrow
from the South, and the commercial
and financial distresses from the North,
which all absolutely originate in their
party policy, and have recoiled fearful
ly upon them. Ben. Wade remarked
to-day to a friend in language emphat
ic but not classic, "Everything has
gone to hell."— Washington Correspon

—A collision occurred on the 24th
ult., between a party of citizens and a
gang of negro leaguers, near Camden,
Wilcox county, Alabama, in which
one negro was killed and a number on
both sides wounded. The fight grew
out of an attempt on the part of the
darkies to prevent all white men
from passing itfong the road by their
place of meeting.
—ln Missouri the Germans have a
queer marriage custom. Some young
man is selected to carry invitations to
the wedding. He rides about, and
each person invited must attach to his

young man has completed his rounds,
is quite startling.
—Conrad Ray died at Brookville, on
the sixth of December, in his 104 th year.
He was born in Columbia County,

—The Pennsylvania Railroad Com

If you are suffering or have suffered from involun
tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon
your general health ? Do you feel weak, debilita
ted, easily tired? Does a little extra exertion pro
duce palpitation of the heart ? Does your liver, or
urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out
of order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky, or
flocky, or is it ropy on settling' Or does a thick
scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom
after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of
short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels
constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting or
rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory im
paired ? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon
this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life 7 Do you wish to be left
alone, to get away from everybody ? Does any lit
tle thing make you start or jump ? Is your sleep
broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as
brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright?
Do you enjoy yourself in society as well ? Do you
pursue your business with the same energy ? Do
you feel as mueh in yourself ? Are
your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits or mel
ancholy ? If so, do not lay it to your liver or
dyspepsia. Have you restless nights ? Your back
weak, your knees weak, and have but little appe
tite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver
complaint ?
Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly
cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro
ducing a weakness of the generative organs. The
organs of generation, when in perfect health, make
the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de
fiant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect he ilth ? You never hear euch
men complain of being melancholy, of nervous
ness, of palpitation of the heart. They are nev
er afraid they cannot succeed in business; they
don't become sad and discouraged ; they are al
ways polite and pleasant in the company of ladies,
and look you and them right in the face—none of
your downcast looks or any other meanness about
them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs
inflamed by running to excess. These will not
only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do
business with or for.
How many men from badly-cured diseases, from
the effects of self-übuse and excesses, have brought
about that state of weakness in those organs that
has reduced the general system so much as to in- i
duce almost every other disease —idiocy, lunacy,
paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost
every other form ofdisease which humanity is heir
to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ev
er suspected, and have doctored for all but the
right one.
Diseases of these organs require the use of a diu

weII known as such to the entire business commu
nity.

from. •
3d. In this particular WE HAVE ADVANTAGES
shared by no other bouse in our business.

the lowest possible prices—having no losses
incurred by selling on credit, to provide for.
sth. We have a business experience of a quarter
of a century, having been longer established
than any house in our trade in Philadelphia.
6th. Our business is thoroughly systematized, the
result of long experience, which has taught
us what the wants of the public are, and how
best to meet them.
7th. We employ the best tnlent in all departments,
our garments are therefore unsurpassed in
style, fit and workmanship.
Bth. 0..r business is large and constantly, increas
ing, enabling us to keep at all times the lar
gest, best assorted, and most complete stock
of MEN'S, YOUTHS', and BOYS' CLOTH

additions are made of fresh goods, replacing
those sold.
9th. For reasons already enumerated we can, and

and request that all such maybe reported to us
for adjustment.
CARD. —Our stock of Fall and Winter Clothing
is full and complete, and selling rapidly, but is as
rapidly replenished each day with I'resh and desi
rable styles of new goods, purchased recently, for
cash, at great sacrifices, enabling us to sell at pri
ces lower than have been known for years. Con
gratulating our patrons upon the decline of prices,
which enables us to offer superior garments at such
low rates, we request the favor of a call.

Proofs of the Superiority of
THE AMERICAN
WALTHAM
WATCHES.
This country has reason to be proud of this
splendid specimen of American operative genius
and enterprise. That it will work a revolution
in the watch manufacturing of the world no one
can doubt who examines the operations of the
Waltham establishment, for it turns out watch
movements at just abont one-half the cost of im
ported movements —beside the uniform reliability
of the machine-made watches must give them a
great advantage over all others wherever known.
A poor time-piece of the machine make will be as
rare in the future as a good one of hand Make has
been heretofore, for machinery is arbitrary in its
performance, and can make a perfect article just
as easy as one that is worthless. It will be a
cause of congratulation if this highly useful A
merican Enterprise shall have the effect of driv
ing out of market the thousands of trashy foreign
articles miscalled timekeepers, by furnishing so
excellent and economical a substitute.—JV- Y.
Times.
"We have had one of the works of this Company
in a case for some considerable time, and compar
ing them with former first-class works of different
manufacture possessed by us, they have estab
lished in our opinion their superiority over any
ever introduced for correctness as time pieces."—
The World.
"We notice with regret (writing of the Paris
Exposition) the absence of specimens of American
manufacture, which, although only compara
tively of recent birth among us, is already pro
ducing results of the most satisfactory character.
The watches manufactured by the Waltham Com
pany are certainly, so far as strength, durability,
and excellence as time-keepers are concerned, as
good as anything produced by the French or Swiss
manufacturers." — N. Y. Herald.
"The beauty, the precision, the greater cheap
ness, the uniform excellence of a watch construc
ted by machinery so exquisite that the mere
spectacle of its operation is poetic, gradually
give the American Watches a public preference
which will not be deceived."— Harpers' 1 Weekly.
