NEGRO VOTING IN GEORGIA.
The spectacle presented to the gaze
of the people of this city, on Monday
morning, the first day of the recent
election, says the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel,,\s one which will linger
in their memories for years to come.
They saw a long line of sable voters,
headed by a "ring master" on horse
back, brandishing an old cavalry sabre,
and all marching to the invigorating
music of a wheezing fife and the dull
thud of a broken-headed drum. These
were the voters—the intelligent law
makers and executive and legislative
creators of the county of Richmond.
It will scarcely bo doubted that not a
single son of 11am who toilfully trudged
the streets in that motly procession
could read or write, or had the least
idea of the character of a ballot, or who
or for what he was about to vote, save
that Captain Bryant and the boss "driv
ers" had told him he must vote for the
Radicals. As this long line of ignor
ant, vindicitive and defiant negro vo
ters passed through our principal thor
oughfares to the City Hall, where the
mockery of an election was going on,
every right-minded white man must
have felt that representative govern
ment, founded upon such suffragans,
was not only a solemn mockery, hut a
crime against virtue, law, order, peace
and human liberty. The alacrity with
which each member of the fantastic
procession conformed to the different
and frequently repeated orders from
the "boss drivers" showed how com
pletely they were under the control of
their masters, and how much they es
teemed it a privilege to he thus driven
like brutes through our streets. Up
on reaching the City Hall, ballots were
placed in their hands, and they were
directed to hand them to the same man
and in the same way their driver dis
posed of his. And this is what is
called manhood suffrage, the basis of
constitutional liberty and thesalvation
of free government!
"BEHIND THE SCENE 'S
This is a title of a book by "Mrs.
Keckley, for thirty years a slaVe. but
more recently modiste and friend to
Mrs. Lincoln," which will shortly be
published. It is pretty liberally inter
spersed with miscellaneous scan, mag.,
and will be a rich morsel for scandal
mongers. We are treated with dis
plays of feminine jealousy on the part
of Mrs. Lincoln, and of the moral and
religious character of her husband.—
Mrs Lincoln's opinions of generals and
elnlcmrn arc givrii. BhcaajT ofChlcf
Justice Chase, then Secretary of the
Treasury, in conversation with her hus
band, that "he is anything for Chase.
If he thought he could make anything
by it be would betray you to-morrow."
Of Mr. Seward: "It makes me mad to
see you sit still and let that hypocrite
Seward twine you around his finger as
if you were a skein of thread." Gen
eral McClellan she pronounces to be "a
humbug." General Grant even is not
exempt from the withering criticism of
this worthy lady. "Yes, he generally
manages to claim a victory, but such a
victory! He loses two men to the ene
my's one. He has no management, no
regard for life. If the war should con
tinue four years longer, and he should
remain in power, he would depopulate
the North. I could fight an army as
well myself. According to his tactics,
there is nothing under the heavens to
do but to march a new line of men up
in front of the Rebel breast works, to
be shot down as fast as they take their
position, and to keep marching until
the enemy grows tired of the slaugh
ter. Grant, I repeat, is an obstinate
fool and a butcher." She further adds
that "should Grant ever be elected
President of the United States she
would desire to leave the country, and
remain absent during his term of office."
So the General will have, at all events,
one most decided opponent in his
Presidential schemes. Mrs. Keckley,
further on, tells us of her mistress that
"search the world over, and you will
not find her counterpart." On Mrs.
Lincoln's departure from the White
House, subsequent to the death of her
husband, Mrs. Keckley informs us that
lady "owed different store billsamount
ing to $70,000," and that "Mr. Lin
coln knew nothing of these bills, and
the only happy feature of his assassina
tion was that lie died in ignorapce of
them." This secret is disclosed in re
gard to Mrs. Lincoln's debts "in order
to explain why she should subsequent
ly have labored under pecuniary em
barrassments." We are also told the
well-worn story of Mrs. Lincoln's "old
clothes" experiences, with the addi
tion of many private facts connected
with that delectable adventure ; while,
in an appendix, a series of letters from
the widow, purely private and unhesi
tatingly confidential, are published to
prove the authenticity of what has been
said in the preceding chapters.— Wash
ington Express.
THE REASON.—At a certain college,
the senior class was under examination
for degrees. The professor of natural
philosophy was badgering in optics.
The point under illustration was that,
strictly and • scientifically speaking,
we see no objects, but their images de
picted on the retina. —The worthy pro
fessor, in order to make the matter
plainer, said to the wag of the class:
"Mr. Jackson, did you ever actually
see your father ?" Bill replied, prompt
ly, "No, sir." "Please explain to the
committee why you never saw your
father." "Because, replied Mr. Jack
son, very gravely, he died before 1 was
born, sir."
BEDFORD, PA.. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1868.
WHAT A WORK IS® MAN THINKS.
In a recent speech, Hon. John A.
Bingham, a meuil>er of Congress from
Ohio, exclaimed. "Thank God there
is no such thing as equal taxation."—
Upon this a Montpelier (Vermont)
working man, says the Argus, not for
merly a member of the Democratic
party, comments as follows:
Of course Bingham and his party rep
resent the bondholder who has his
horses, his carriages, his wine parties,
his plate, his bonds.
lam a working man. I have my
tin dinner pail, my tool chest, and my
hard palms, and tired bones at night,
and my hasty breakfast in the morn
ing, a lean purse, and a tax receipt at
the end of the year.
When quarter day comes the bond
holder cuts off his co! j -; and draws
his interest, and thank - : o< 1 there is no
such thing as equal ion.
I draw ray purse aau pay my rent.
And when the year i- gone he counts
up his gains, rustles his bonds, and has
a wine supper. Anil when the year is
gone, I look at the great robber, the
tax receipt, go to bed with an aching
heart, to dream of Democratic times,
light and equal taxation.
The bondholder does nothing. He
is supported.
I pay State taxes.
I pay county taxes.
I pay village taxes.
I pay town taxes.
I pay revenue taxes.
I pay direct taxes.
I pay taxes on everything.
I pay taxes to support Congress.
I pay taxes to support the Govern
ment.
I pay taxes to support the bondhold
ers who pay no taxes for any purpose
whatever.
I shall vote for equal taxation, and
down with the party God
that there is no such thing as equal tax
ation."
•i'OOK .BEX ABE .\OT TAXED."
"Poor men are not taxed," said a de
luded workiugmau; "they can't tax
me, because I am worth nothing!"
Can they not ? Before the war, you
paid less than one-half for all you eat,
drink and wear, than you pay now, and
before the war you had not the sup
port of five millions of niggers to pro
vide for, who now eat, drink and wear
at your expense. Taking the cost of
supporting life to-day, and a reckless,
wicked, wealth, destroying admini
stration, and the poor white voter in
thx? Uuitod Sillaiisa, ivlm i- OUlt WOrtll U
dollar in the .world, is the heaviest
taxed mortal on God's earth. Sleep
ing or waking ; well or ill ; at labor or
at rest; week days and Sundays—the
taxes are being piled on him who is
not worth a dime, by those above him
in the scale of property, who are worth
thousands and hundreds of thousands.
Remember, you moneyless, honest
toiler, if you eat, drink, wear clothes—
if you are warmed and sheltered, you
are thus made to pay your' own
taxes and the taxes of the capitalists of
the country also. They are indirectly
thus piled upon you. The great public
debt is a curse to you, if not a eurse to
the capitalist. Remember this when
you go to the polls next November.
UXGRATEFULCHILDREN.—An East
ern proverb which declares that there
are no ungrateful children, is nearer
the truth than it appears. It is but
another version of the Biblical maxim :
"Train up a child in the way he should
go, and when he is old he will never
depart from it." The parent who does
really train up a child in the way he
should go, is the parent who truly de
serves the gratitude of his child, and
he is the only parent who can hope to
receive it in full measure. How many
parents there are, who, after indulging
their children's every desire, are sin
cerely astonished to find them making
no return of love and gratitude. Grati
tude! For an impaired digestion ? For
a will uncurbed? For a mind empty?
For hands unskillful? For a child
hood wasted ? For the chance of for
ming a noble character lost? These
are poor claims upon the gratitude of
a child. Bring up your child so that,
at mature age, he has a sound consti
tution, healthy desires and an honest
heart, a well-formed mind, good man
ners, and a useful calling, and you may
rely upon his making you such a rich
return of grateful affection as shall a
thousand times repay you for the toil
and self-denial which such a training
costs. No—there are no ungrateful
children, when there is anything to be
grateful for.
RATTLESXA K E BITE.—A m monia,
or hartshorn, is doubtless the best
remedy known for the bite of the rat
tlesnake. Alchohol is good, but not to
be relied upon for a cure in all eases.
So with several kinds of vegetable rem
edies ; they cure in some cases, but not
in all. Next to ammonia, mud is prob
ably the best. A son of Mr. J. D.
Sharp, of Spring Valley, Minnesota,
was bitten on the foot by a rattlesnake.
Several remedies were applied, each
said to be a certain cure; but they all
failed. He grew spotted, like a rattle
snake, they said, and became very
sick, and likely to die. At length they
put his foot in a pail of mud. He was
relieved in fifteen minutes, and con
tinued to improve until he was well.
If one has such a bite to treat, and can
not get ammonia, let him give whisky,
or some other stimulant internally,
and apply mud to the part bitten,
changing it once in three hours during
the day.— l. T. in N. Y. Observer.
BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.
The following anecdotes are told of
W. M. Swain, formerly proprietor of
the Philadelphia Ledger:
As a business man be was very rigid
in adherence to what lie conceived to
be sound business principles. "Never
fix price on another man's goods,"
was one of these principles. A paper
dealer met him one day on the street.
"Mr. Swain," said he, "I have some
excellent white paper of the size of the
Ledger. Do you wish to buy?"
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"What are you willing to give for
it?" was the next inquiry.
"Precisely the worth of it sir, nei
ther more nor less, was the rejoinder.
"Oh, of course. But I mean, Mr.
Swain, what can you afford to give me
for it."
"Double the price, sir, if I chose, but
I-don't."
"But, fix the price, sir."
"I never put a price on another man's
goods. If you don't know the value
of your own paper you should not dis
pose of it. If you do, you are wasting
my time and your own in idle circum
locutions to get the advantage of me.
Tell me your price. If it suits,
well, if not you may find some other
customer."
Business is business, and nothing
should interfere with it, was another
of his business principles. Consequent
ly he would take nothing off the "price
of an advertisement on the score of
friendship, or benevolence, or any oth
er of the ten thousand petty excuses
made to "nip the printer." A gentleman
once called upon him with an adver
tisement of a benttit for a poor widow
with several helpless children.
"How much for the advertisement
under the eircustances ?
"Just what it coines to," said Mr.
Swain, "business is business sir, chari
ty is another question."
"But to a poor widow, sir, every dol
lar saved is a matter of serious mo
ment to her family."
"Business is business, I repeat, sir.
What I choose to give in charity is my
own private affair. My business has
nothing do with it."
"Then you will take no less?"
"Not a cent, sir."
"The gentleman paid the bill very
reluctantly, amounting to perhaps, two
dollars and was going out of the of
fice reflecting rather severely in his
own mind upon the parsmony of Mr.
Swain, when the latter stopped him.
"Do you know this widow ? Is she
honwt mul deserving ?"
"She is, sir."
Mr. Swain, slipped a $lO bill in the
gentieyoan's hand, and turning on his
heel, walked away, saying "business is
business."
GET eout, you nasty puppy—let me
alone, or I'll tell my ma!" cried Sal
Smith to her lover, Jack Jones, who
sat about ten feet from her pulling dirt
from the chimney jam.
"1 ain't touchi'n on you, Sal," re
sponded Jack.
"Well perhaps you don't mean to
nuther,—do you ?"
"No I don't."
"Cause you are so tarnal scary you
long-legged, lantern-jawed, slab-sided,
pigeon-toed, gatigle-kneed owel, you
hain't got a tarnal Lit of sense, get
along home with you."
"Now, Sal, I love you and you can't
help it! and efyou don't let me stay and
court you iny dady 'll sue yourn for
that cow he sold him t'other day. By
jingo he said he'd do it."
"Well, look here Jack, if you want to
court me you'd better do it as a white
man does that thing—not set otl' there
as though as if I was a pizen !"
"How on airth is that ?"
"Why, side right up here, and hug
and kiss me, as if you really had some
of the bone and sinner of a man about
you. Do you s'pose a woman's only
made to look at, you stupid fool you?"
"Well!" said Jack, drawing a long
breath, "if I must I must, for I love
you, Sal!"
"That's the way we do it, old boss;
that is acting like a white man orter."
"Oh Jerusalem and pancakes!" ex
claimed Jack, "if this aint better than
any apple-sarse inarm ever made, a
darned sight, Sal. Crack-e-e; buckwheat
cakes and 'lasses ain't nowhere 'long
side of you, Sal. Oh how I do love
you!"
Here their lips came together, and
the report which followed was like pul
ling of a horse's hoof out of the mire,
and on the following Sunday they
were married.
"Pi E PLANT."—One of the most val
uable and healthy articles for making
pies during the summer season is rhu
barb, or, as some call it, "pie plant."
Every one who owns a garden should
cultivate it. It requires deep tillage,
the deeper the better, and heavy ma
nuring. The large roots and leaves re
quire plenty of room to extend above
and below the soil. Some persons
trench the soil to the dfyth of two feet,
when preparing to plant rhubarb, but
without drainage very deep tillage is
useless. If propagated by dividing the
roots, the plants should be set out
singly, and not in threes, as is so often
done. One or two buds is sufficient in
each dividing root. The ordinary va
rieties are generally planted in drills
two and a half or three feet asunder,
the plants of a similar distance apart
in the rows. Some of the larger varie
ties require to be planted much further
apart—say five between the rows, and
three feet between the plants.

five hundred and eighty-three thous
and, three hundred and thirty-three
miles of ground and would encircle the
globe on which we dwell six hundred
and eight times! If we allow the
weight of a man to be on average one
cwt. (this is below the mark,) we shall
come to the conclusion that six mil
lions two hundred and fifty thousand
tons of human flesh have been man
gled, disfigured, gashed and trampled
under foot. The calculation will ap
pear more striking when we state that
if only the four-fingers of every one
of those fourteen thousand millions of
human beings were to be held in a
straight line they would reach more
than six thousand miles beyond the
moon ; and that if a person were to un
dertake to count the number, allowing
nineteen hours a day, and seven days
in a week, at the rate of six thousand
per hour, it would occupy that person
three hundred and thirty-six years.
And awful is the consideration ! three
hundred and fifty thousand pipes of
human blood have been spilt in bat
tles ! Who would not exclaim with
Bishop llall—"Give me the man who
can devise how to save troops of men
from killing, his name shall have room
in my calender. There is more true
honor in civic garland for the preserving
of one subject, than in a laurel for the
victory over many enemies." Or, with
Bishop Taylor—"lf men were only
subject to Christ's law, then could they
never go to war with each other."—
Dr. Thomas Dirk.
A SHARP GIRL.—A spruce looking
young girl, carrying a bundle, was
accosted in thestreets of Philadelphia
by a man who chucked her under the j
chin, and said he would like to accom
pany her home. "Well, do," said the
girl, "but hold my bundle while 1 tie
iny shoe." The man took the bundle, i
when the girl started off on a run.—
The man felt a slight movement in the
bundle, and in great trepidation start
ed after her, repeatedly bawling out,
"Ilere, you woman, come back and
take your baby." Soon a crowd gath
ered, to learn the natureof the distress.
"A woman gave me her baby to hold,
and then ran off," plteously exclaimed
the man of burden. "Take it to the
alms house," shouted some half a doz
en voices. "Let us see it, first." cried
one more sagacious than the rest; and,
us a large coarse towel was unfolded,
out jumped a full grown cat, who scam
pered off amid the vociferous shouts
and laughter of all present save one,
who looked awfully. It seems that a
lady, desiring to rid her house of one
of these animals, whose petty larcenies
in the kitchen were a source of great
annoyance, had commissioned the ser
vant girl to take it out of the neighbor
hood and drop it.
MECHANICAL GENIUS.—The Paris
Putrid contains the following: A young
man aged eighteen, who belonged to
a respectable family in Paris, had, a
bout a year ago, been condemned for
theft to five years imprisonment.—
His conduct in prison being quite ex
emplary, he gained the good opinion
of the director, who remarked in him
a peculiar aptness for mechanical con
trivances. A few days ago he begged
the director to tell him what o'clock it
was, that he might set his watch. —
"You have a watch, then?" asked the
director. "Only since yesterday, sir"
said the prisoner, and to the astonish
ment of the director, produced one
made of straw. The little masterpiece
is two-and-a-half inches in diameter,
about one-half of an inch thick, and
will go for three hours without wind
ing up. The dial plate is of paper,
and a pretty little straw chain is at
tached to the whole. The instruments
which the prisoner had at his command
were two needles, a pin, a little straw
and thread. Several persons of distinc
tion, moved by his surprising genius
for mechanics, are now endeavoring to
obtain his liberation.
FACTORY OVERSEERS IN MASSA
CHUSETTS.—There is a law in Massa
chusetts which is intended to regulate
the employment of children in factor
ies. The officer appointed to enforce
this law reports as follows: In Fall
River he found one thousand children
employed in factories, mostly of foreign
parentage, in generally low condition,
ignorant in many cases of their own
ages, earning very low wages, and de
prived in great part, or altogether, of
the school privileges which the law re
quires. To ill lustra te the spiritof some
of the employers, the officer inquired
of the agent of one qf the principal
factories there whether it was the cus
tom to do anything for the physical,
intellectual, or moral welfare of the
work people. The answer would not
have been out of place to the captain
of a coolie ship: "We never do; as
fyr myself, 1 regard my work people as
I regard my machinery; so long as
they can do my work for what I choose
to pay them, I keep them, and get out
of them all I can. What they do, or
how they fare, outside of my walls I
do not know. They must look out for
themselves, as Ido for myself. When
my machinery gets old and useless, I
reject it and get new; and these peo
ple are part of my machinery."
CERTAIN Cl'itE l Oii FOUNJ>tR- A.-
soon as you discover (hst the horse i
foundcrcd, take him to the nearest
branch or stream of water and tic him
j in it, standing the water nearly up to
his belly—his head being so high that
he cannot drink. If the weather is
warm, let him stand in the stream sev
■ oral hours; then take him out, rub his
legs thoroughly to promote circulation,
| and again tie him in the water, if he is
still lame. By repeating this process
two or three times, the horse will be
effectually cured. If the weather is
cold when the horse is foundered, that
is, if it is in winter, the horse must not
be allowed to stand in the water more
than about twenty minutes at a time,
he should be taken out and his legs
rubbed diligently till they become dry
and warm and the circulation of the
blood made active, and this proems
must be repeated till the horse is cured,
which will be generally within twenty
four hours. This remedy will cost
nothing, can do no posible harm, and
will in every instance, cure, if the dis
ease has not been too long standing.
Don't be afraid to try it.— Rural World.
ARIHTKAKV POWER.—Lord Chester
field, in his speech on the liberty of the
press, very forcibly says:
"Arbitrary power has seldom or
never been introduced into any country
at once. It must, be introduced by slow
degrees, and as it were step by step,
lest the people should see its approach.
The barriers and fences of the people's
liberties must be pluckcd up one by oue;
and some plausible prtenees must bo
found for removing or hoodwinking
one after another of those sentries who
are posted by the constitution of a free
country for a warning."
Ilow pertinent all this is to thu pres
ent condition of our unhappy country.
How cunningly and how stealthily
have the advocates of despotism, un
der the prentice of enlarging liberty,
step by step retarded her advance, un
til now it is difficult to say where liber
ty ends and where arbitrary power be
gins. There not a single guaranteed
right that has not been struck down—
not a single constitutional landmark
that has not been torn up—and the
people, hoodwinked and blinded by
one pretence or another, now find all
their liberties gone.
PRESEVERANCE.— Henry Clay thus
spoke: Constant, perservering applica
tion will accomplish anything. To this
quality if 1 may be allowod| to speak
of myself, do I owe the little success
which I have attained. Left in early
life to work my own way alone, with
out friends or pecuniary resources and
with no more than a common educa
tion, I saw that the pathway before
me was steep and rugged, and the
height upon which 1 had ventured to
fix the eye of my ambition could be
reached only by toil most severe and a
purpose the most indomitable. But
shrinking fromjio labor, disheartened
by no obstacles, I struggled on. No
opportunity, which the most watchful
vigilance could secure, to exercise my
power, was permitted to pass by unim
proved.
"Breeches of faith!" screamed
Mrs. Partington, as she heard that term
applied to Mexican violations of the
armistice. " Well, I wonder what they
will have next. I have heard tell of
cloaks of hypocrisy, and robes of puri
ty, but I never heard of the breeches of
faith before. I hope they are made
of something that won't change and
wear out as old Deacon Gudgin's faith
did, for he was always changing, lie
went from believing that nobody would
be saved to believing that all would bo,
and at last turned out aphrenolgerand
didn't believe in nothing! Wonder if
it's as strong ascassimere?" and she hit
off her thread, and prepared a new
needle full.
TCXI'RESSSONS of OPINION.—CoIoneI
Forney; in one of his letters to the
Press, says that "there is not a Sena
tor in Congress who has not on more
than one occasion, expressed or enter
tained an opinion in favor of his (Mr.
Johnson's) removal from office." This
is not given as a reason why they are
disqualified to sit as jurors and decide
on his removal, but as a conclusive rea
son why they should hot vote for ac
quittal. It may strike unprejudiced
people as rather a curious perversion
of justice, but it does not strike Col. F.
iy that light.— New York Times.
RATIONS FOU VOTES. —The New
York Times (republican) says:
"The mayor (by military appoint
ment) of Augusta, Ga., has made a
proposition to the city council that ra
tions be issued to needy parties depriv
ed of employment for "voting as their
consciences approved," and that a tax
be levied on property-holders for car
rying out this design. This is a very
bad form of confiscation, which will
work far more harm in its effects upon
the black race than upon the whites,
whom it is intended to injure,"
A traveler through a country town
in Maine wherejthere are no hotels, ob
tained lodging with a farmer. The
next morning when he enquired for
his bill, the farmer said : "85 cents for
meals and lodging, and 25 cents for
squirting tobacco juice over the clean
floor."
A LADY, who was suffering under an
indisposition, told her husband that it
was with the greatest difficulty she
could breathe, and the effort distressed
her exceedingly. "I wouldn't try,
my dear," soothingly responded the
husband.
A LVDY asked a minister whether a
person might be fond of dress and or
nament without being proud. "Mad
am," said the preacher, "when you see
a fox's tail peeping out of the hole,
you may be sure the fox is within."
