DEATH OF EX* Pit ESI DENT MOHAN
AN.
As we were going to press, last week,
we received the sad intelligence of the
peath of JAMES BUCHANAN, and were
obliged, for want of space, to confine
our announcement of the melancholy
event, to a simple statement of its oc
currence.
MR. BUCHANAN was horn at Stony
Batter, Franklin county, Pa., April
22, 1791, and died at Wheatland, near
Ijancaster city, on Monday morning,
June 1, 1868. Me graduated at Dick
inson College, in 1809, being then just
eighteen years of age. In 1812 he was
admitted to the practice of the law, at
the Lancaster Bar, and one year after
ward was elected to the lower house of
the State Legislature, to which body
he was subsequently re-elected. Dur
ing the war of 1812-15, he was a vol
unteer soldier and served in the cam
paign against the British at Balti
more. In 1820 he was elected to C'on-
gress, to represent the Lancaster dis
trict, which had previously been car
ried against his party by heavy majori
ties. In 1831, having served ten years
in Congress, he declined a re-election,
but was appointed, by President Jack
son, Minister to Itrussia. During his
Congressional service, he became dis
tinguished as the opponent of the
Bankrupt Law, the advocate of a tar
iff for revenue and the supporter of the
famous "Monroe Doctrine." In 1828
he succeeded Daniel Webster as Chair
man of the Judiciary Committee of the
National House of Representatives, a
distinction Which singled him out as
the first lawyer in that body. As
minister to Russia, he completed the
first commercial treaty between the
United States and that country. In
1833 Mr. Buchanan was elected to the
U. S. Senate, in which body he ranked
with Clay, WebsterandCalhoun, whom
he often met in the onset of debate, in
the discussion of the great questions
which thetj agitated the American
public. When Mr. Polk became
President, he was appointed Secretary
of State, and under bis premiership,
was made the brilliant administra
tion which added a new empire to this
country and gave us untold wealth of
the acquisitions on the Pacific. At the
close of President Polk's term, Mr.
Buchanan retired from public life, but
was re-called from his retirement in
1803, by President Pierce, who ap
pointed him minister to the court of
St. James. In 18-VI, lie was nomina
ted by the Democratic Party, as its
candidate for the Presidency, and was
triumphantly elected. The history of
the eventful period during which Mr.
Buchanan occupied the Presidential
chair, is fresh in the popular recollec
tion, and, therefore, needs not be re
peated here. Suffice it to say, that it
was the chief desire of President Bu
chanan to administer the affairs "of
Government in such manner as would
most conduce to the peace and happi
ness of the whole people. This fact
was apparent in all his measures. He
dreaded, with the honest fear of a true
patriot, the awful portents of approach
ing civil war. To avoid such a war,
was the purpose which underlay all
his dealings with the vexed questions
of slavery and its concomitant issues.
That no single hostile gun was tired
until after his successor was installed in
office, shows how successfully his pur
pose was accomplished.
The writer of this article, knew Mr.
Buchanan intimately during the last
eleven years. But here let us pause.
The tear of sorrow is the only befitting
eulogy. He was our friend. We
mourn his departure; let others write
liis epitaph. The world will praise
him soon enough, now that it has lost
him.
WN.I. IIT: no IT?
Will Grant resign? He holds an of
fice now worth about £20,000 per an
num. lie lias been presented with el
egant mansions in .New York, Philadel
phia and Chicago, worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Hasn't he got
about- enough? At any rate, if lie
wants to he President, hadn't he better
give up his present office? The peo
ple don't want one man to own every
thing and wield all the power.
Tin-'. Holl'ulai/nbitry Slaudartl has
been grately enlarged, and clothed in a
new and beautiful dress. The "gay
and incomparable" Trough isaiwaysdo
ing something to improve his paper.
Success to him !
n.YSSKS OX THE PLATFORXi
Some people doubted whether Grant
would stand upon the Chicago Negro
Suffrage Platform. To such we com
mend his letter accepting the radical
nomination, which is as follows:
WASHINGTON*, 1). C., May 29.— T0
General Joseph It. llawley, President
of the National Union Republican Con
vention: Informally accepting the
nomination of the National Union Re
publican Convention of the 21st of May
instant, it seems proper that some
statement of views, beyond the mere
acceptance of the nomination, should
be expressed. The proceedings of the
Convention were marked with wis
dom, moderation and patriotism and,
I believe, express the feelings of the
great mass of those who sustained the
country through its recent trials.
I indorse their resolutions, and, if
elected to the office of President of the
United States, it will be my endeavor
to administer all the laws in good
faith, with economy and with a view
of giving peace, quiet and protection
everywhere. In times like the pres
ent it is impossible, or at least emi
nently improper to lav down a policy
to be adhered to, right or wrong,
through an administration of four
years.
New political issues not foreseen are
constantly arising, the views of the
public in regard to old ones are con
stantly changing, and a purely admin
istrative officer should always be left
free to execute the will of the people.
I always have respected that will, and
always shall. Peace, and universal
prosperity its sequence, with economy
of administration, will lighten the
burden of taxation while it constantly
reduces the national debt. Let us
have peace. With great respect, your
obedient servant, U. S. GRANT.
"I indorse their resolutions." That
is: "I, Ulysses S. Grant, agree to run
for President on a platform which ap
proves of making voters of 600,000 ig
norant and degraded Negroes." "I
always have respected the will of the
people and always shall." That is:
"If the people elect me President on
the Chicago Platform, I will take it
that is their will that Negro Suffrage
should be established, and I will see to
it that it is done." Yes, we understand
you, 'Lysses!*
NO POLICY.
'Lysses made a speech the other
day. lie opened his mouth and "put
his foot in it." He was informed by
the chairman of the Sutlers' com
mittee, that he was nominated for
President, by the "National Unioiole
puhlican party." 'Lyases started out
as follows : "Unaccustomed as lam
to public speaking," Ac. Now, this is
no joke, but a solemn truth. No
Radical paper will dare deny that we
quote correctly. Think of it! A
President who begins a speech like a
six year old school-hoy! We heard a
"Republican" remark, lafter reading
this grandiloquent opening; in the
scriptural phraseology of Ben. Wade,
"Well, I'll he "! But the closing
of 'Lysses' remarks, was still more
ridiculous. After pronouncing about
a ddzen sentences* he said: "If I should
Ik* elected, 1 will have no policy to
interfere with the people!" Well,
but, Mr. Grant, the people want the
government to have some sort of pol
icy, and. what's more, they want to
know, before they vote, what that
policy is to he. "No policy" will not
do.
ON DKPOSIT.
In the State (iuard , of June 4, we
find the following startling announce
ment :
"Conceal it as we may, the United
•States Senatorship is already in the
market. Money is already on the de
posit to be used in that election among
legislators, so that the people might as
well at once he put on their guard."
Here is one of the secrets of Ilad
scalism exposed by its leading organ at
the State Capital. What do you think
of it, oh! ye good-natured ones who
have voted indiscriminately for Tom,
Dick and Harry as members of the leg
islature, contenting yourselves with
the simple fact that their names were
printed upon the "Republican" ticket?
When your own State organ puts you
"on your guard," is it not high time
that you give the matter some atten
tion.
IF "No Policy" Grant had had his
way, President Johnson would have
been removed from office, and the
government overturned. He urged
Senators to vote for conviction. Is
such a man fit to be President?
PROSCRIPTION*.- Merciless proscription
the order of the (lay whenever Radi
cals hold the reins of power. Our Gir
ondists can expect no quarter from
the Jacobins of the dominant party, al
though the latter are ur.able to use the
guillotine like the prototypes of the
French Revolution. But our Jacobins
do all that they dare and are able to do
in the way of proscription. Thus a
proposition for a vote of thanks to
Chief Justice Chase for his conduct dur
ing the Impeachment trial has, for ob
vious reasons, been promptly rejected
by the Senate, which has also rejected
the nomination of Mr. Stanbery as At
torney General because lie acted on that
trial as counsel for the President. It is
safe to predict that the nomination of
Mr. Revordy Johnson as Minister to
England, or that of any of the other
eighteen Senators who voted against
the eon victiou of the President to any
office of similar dignity and responibil
ity, will be as summarily rejected. The
Congressional terrorists an neither for
get nor forgive. The opponents of
their partisan schemes are doomed to
proscription.— .V. Y. Herald.

Oregon takes her place among the

has been under the iron rule of Radi

ABYSSINIA. —We have received a
copy of Sir Samuel W. Baker's new
book —"Exploration of the Nile tribu
taries of Abyssinia," from the Publish
ers, O. D. Case & Co., Hartford, Conn.
At this time anything pertaining to
Abyssinia, its inhabitants, animals,
products and climate is particularly
interesting. The author of this work
gives a record of a trip in search of the
head waters, or sources of the Nile,
and all the scenes and incidents of the
journey are stated so minutely and in
telligibly that the reader will almost
fancy himself traveling over the route,
viewing the scenes with his own eyes
and taking part in the incidents. Al
though minute in descriptions of the
country, the reader is not wearied
therewith, as the information is all
important, and just the kind that is
sought after, but seldom found, in his
tories. It is the little things, often
passed by unnoted, that convey to the
mind the true character of a people
and a country. The work abounds in
descriptions of travels over deserts,
hunting the elephant, hippopotamus,
rhinoceros, lion, crocodile and other
game in that country, the character of
the inhabitants of the country, their
mode of living, etc. The work is ded
icated to the Prince of Wales. The
fact that his wife accompanied him
throughout all his travels, will make
it a work of interest to all lady read
ers. Price $3.50 in handsome inuslin

HISTORY OF TIIF. LULRN REGIMENT.
—We are under obligations to Glen W.
W. II Davis, of Doylestown, Pa., for
a copy of bis History of the 104 th
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Gen. Davis commanded this regiment
during the war, with great gallantry
and distinction, and his affection for
his old companion? in arms, has induced
hi in not only to exert his influence
and contribute his means to the erec
tion of a monument to his deceased
comrades, (which was inaugurated the
other day) but also to preserve in print,
the record of the organization and ser
vices of this brave body of soldiers.
The book is well written and neatly
printed. .
SLANDER OF THE DEAD.—The State
Guard is pilloried in eternal infamy, by
its article of June 2, in regard to the
death of Ex-President Buchanan. The
defamation of the dead, is as cowardly
as it is brutal; and the man who is ca
pable of doing a thing so foul and das
tard, has no claim upon the respect, or
even the toleration of mankind. But
what shall be said of the man who li
bels the memory of his benefactor, of a
deceased friend, to whom he owes noth
ing but honor and gratitude ! Let the
public pass its own judgment.
It is not our purpose to vindicate the
memory of Mr. Buchanan from the un
just audgratuitous aspersions contained
in the article to which we allude. Im
partial history will disperse forever
the cloud of false and perjured wit
nesses that would obscure the shining
fame of that illustrious man. The
thousands of heart-stricken mourners,
from all parts of the country, who fol
lowed the remains of the dead states
man to their la>t resting place, at Lan
caster, refute ami rebuke all such evil
minded persons, and the day is not far
distant when they will be remembered
only to lie scorned and loathed by every
true and high-minded man.— Morning
Patriot.
A gentleman who visited Ex-Presi
dent James Buchanan a few days he
fore his death writes thus to the Cleve
land J'tail i Dealer:
"At the time of my visit he had just
finished opening and reading his
daily mail—which was perfectly
appaling—and among other letters
he read me portions of those received
that day by the venerable Win. Allen,
ex-Senator from Ohio, from Francis
Thomas, ex-Governor of Maryland,
now in Congress, and a political oppo
nent, and from Daniel Sturgeon, ex-
E. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, and
others from his friends, which showed
the estimation in which lie \v:i- held by
those who know him best. Mr. Buch
anon probably received a bushel of let
ters per day, and of these, he informed
me, more than three fourths were ap
plications for his autograph, both from
Europe and America."

—The young married women in Hun
gary, the land of pretty women, have
recently been highly excited about the j
the important question which one of
them is to be the wet nurse of the ex
pected baby of the Queen of Hungary,
as the empress of Austria is called in
the land of the Magyars. It has been
given out that the handsomest and
strongest young married woman was
to suckle the royal and imperial baby,
and over a hundred photographs were
sent to the doctor who was to choose the!
nurse. This modern Paris decided in
favor of a beautiful young woman from
Seresgas, who has already arrived at
Pesth, where she is the observed of all
observers. She is to receive five thou
sand florins for her trouble, and a lib
eral pension for her whole life.
—A trance story comes from Cleve
land, Ohio, where a nice young woman
died in the usual orthodox manner of j
typhoid fever and was "straiked" for
the coffin. Her mother, however, ob
served that the body'still retained its
warmth, which we must confess was a
singular circumstance for a corpse, and
although the physicians seem to have
found nothing out of the way in that,
she delayed the funeral until, a door
violently slamming, the sleeper was
awakened and is now getting well.
According to her account, she rather
enjoyed the trance state, except for
the disagreeable uncertainty whether
she would be burried alive.
—Governor Crawford, of Kansas,
received despatches on Saturday last,
stating that several hundred Cheyeu
nes were fighting the Kaws on the Re
servation of the latter. The authori
ties of Fort Riley refused to send
troops to the scene of action. It is also
reported that a large number of In
dians from the plains are committing
depreciations in the vicinity of Cotton
wood Falls. Five hundred of them
passed Marion Centre, killing and
stealing all the stock they could find.
Settlers brought their families to Cot
tonwood Falls for protection.
—Four years of war and a national debt
as huge as England rolled up in a hun
dred years of war, that is the record
of the tir.-t Republican administration.
Four years of peace with utterly unfet
tered party power, with a majority in
Congress able to override vetoes at
will, but the Union not yet restored,
industry not yet revived, government
not yet established, the tarilf not yet
reduced, taxes not yet cut down, socie
ty not yet composed, commerce still
paralyzed Mhat is the record of the sec
ond Republican administration.
—Some persons who were hunting
in the woods near Meriden, Miss.,
recently, made a shocking discovery.
There lay a dead negro and there lay a
dead hog. The strangest part of it is,
the hog had the man by the throat,
the tusks deep buried in the flesh, hold
ing on "like grim death to a dead nig
ger " 'ci!o cue, w uuii un
doubtedly killed the negro, is supposed
to have been given in a last struggle
on tbe part of the hog to revenge a
personal injury which resulted in the
hog's death—the hog was haifskinnod.
—A case of libel was recently dispo
sed of at Norristown, resulting in con
viction. The sentence was ten dollars
fine and one year at hard labor in the
county prison ! The libel consisted in
the utterance of defamatory words,
written on the shutters of a school
house relative to a young girl. Per
sons disposed to defame the characters
of others can learn a lesson from there
suit of this case.
—The letter from the Em peror of Chi
na to the President was contained in a
Walnut box some two feet in length.
It is a veritable work of art, different,
indeed, from ordinary epistles in style,
size and ehirography. It measures
twenty-five feet in length, is written in
Chinese from beginning to end and
contains enough of parchment to furn
ish a dozen drums.
—A large number of mounted po
licemen were put on duty in the Fed
eral Capital on Wednesday and Thurs
day nights to prevent a repetition of
Tuesday night's bloody scenes. Gangs
of armed negroes were dispersed in va
rious quarters, and many arrests were
made of suspiciously-acting blacks,
who were invariably found to be arm
ed with knives, razors and pistols.
--After the vote on impeachment it
is said that Fessendeu and Nye met in
one of the Washington city cars. The
conversation was short, sharp and
decisive. Nye made some remarks
about the vote, which Fessenden
answered in an angry tone by saying :
"Yes sir, you bad not the pluck to do
as you thought right."
—"Ah, mum," said a beggar to a
lady who had just given him a dollar,
"If it hadn't been for this I'd been

"To work, mum," responded the un
happy man, with a melancholy shake
of the head,
—A noteworthy incident of the visit
of the Chinese embassy, now in Wash
ington, was the hoisting of the flag of
the empire of China at half-mast on
last Thursday a week, in honor of the
memory of ex-President Buchanan.
It was the first Chinese embassy flag
ever raised in this country.
—Massachusetts Yankees plundered
the tomb of the Putnam family, at
Dan vers, Mass., recently, stealing the
skeletons and selling them to bone
manufacturers. As they stole tbe sil

are supposed to be relatives of Beast

—The Radicals complain of being
tormented by seven devils—Fowler,
Fessenden, Grimes, Henderson, Ross,
Trumbull and Van Winkle. They
will be tormented by devils hereafter,
and they may as well begin now, so as
to become accustomed to it.
—The New Orleans clergymen com
plain that "bands of politicians, attend

\YASIIIXGTO\ XI.WS.
Ki-kiillN of I'oriioy'H Elhivl to KCI up an
Eutliustnviii Cor Grant aiul Colfax
are shown in the news received on the
3d June front Washington city. As
no portion of the respectable people of
the country scented disposed to mani
fest any cordial approval of the plat
form or nominees of the Chicago Mil
itary Despot ism-Negro Supremacy Con
vention, or of < J rant's Napoleonic let
ter of acceptance, it became necessary
for Forney to appeal to the negroes to
declare their adherence to Massa Grant.
Below we have the results:
"Forney made an incendiary address
to the negroes from a window of the
Chronicle office, inciting them to ven
geance on the whites, which had the
effect to render them perfectly uncon
trollable. The police were perfectly
powerless; and the negroes rushed
along the streets with such fearful
taunts and abuse that the whites were
compelled to confine themselves to
their houses. Bo wen, the negro can
didate for Mayor, also made an address
complimenting the negroes on their
capacity for self-government. Bands
or drunken, lawless negroes, madden
ed with liquor and driven on by the
vile, riot-inciting harangues made by
white and colored speakers, paraded
around the treets hooting and rioting,
killing and robbing at their will.
"Among the incidents in front of the
City Hall was a speech made by a col
ored man from the steps to a large
crowd of Ids compatriots. In lit"
course of it he denounced those colored
men who turned traitors to their race
by voting the Democratic ticket, and
advised his hearers to kill them—'put
it to them quietly.' The sentiment
was loudly applauded with enthusi
astic cries of 'we will.'
"We will commence with a murder,
the victim being a white man, named
John Faulkner. The affair occurred
about 12 o'clock on Wednesday night,
on Pennsylvania avenue, near Kim
mel's alley. An unknown negro cut
Faulkner in the right arm with a .razor,
from the effects of which he bled to
death.
"The next case to chronicle is the
murderous assault of a crowd of ne
groes upon a boy named George T.
Haudley, aged 1!> years. This outra
geous aifair occurred at 10 o'clock at
night, on Eighth street, near Seventh,
while the crowd were around Bo wen's
house on II street. Handley was
knocked down, and then cut with
dirks or razors on both sides, on his
hips and legs. His coat was literally
cut to pieces with some kind of sharp
instrument. He received several flesh
wounds on the shoulders and arms, and
a pistol shot wound on the right shoul
der. The rascals left him on the pave
ment supposing they had killed him,
as one of them was heard to remak,
'wesettled his hash.'
"The neighborhood of Bowen's
house seemed to be the favorite spot for
the perpetration of mob violence. After
the murderous assault on the boy
Hundley, and he was removed away
from their wrath, these brave rowdies
marched back to the front of Bowen's
house. Shortly after, another crowd
of negroes came up Seventh street hoot
ing, hurrahing, and evidently bent on
mischief. As they turned into 11
steet from Tenth, some one cried out,
'Hurrah for John T. Given.' The mob
answered' Kill him,'etc. A rush was
made, bricks were thrown and pistols
fired, and the greatest confusion and
uproar ensued.
"Odo oi" Iho groatottt outrages of thy
night, which has yet come to our notice,
was the assault upon Herman
Schmidt, proprietor of the restaurant,
corner of Eleventh street west and F
street north. The negro tools of Radi
cal rule rushed into Mr. S's house,
knocked him down, and beat him in
a terrible manner, robbed his drawer
of $42, carried away eleven bottles of
whisky, broke everything to pieces,
and retired to other scenes of riot and
and bloodshed. No arrests have yet

Shameful Conduct of the House lladieal*.
WASHINGTON, June 3.— ln the
House, this afternoon Judge Wood
ward, of Pennsylvania, obtained the
floor, and offered a resolution of re
spect to the memory of ex-President
Buchanan, and providing for the ap
pointment of a committee of seven
members to attend the funeral of the
deceased, on the part of the House
of Representatives. The resolution
was read, when several Radical mem
bers objected to it, alleging, as an ex
cuse, that it substantially endorsed Mr.
Buchanan's administration. This,
however, was not true, as will be per
ceived by reading it in your regular
report. After a proposition by Mr.
Stevens to strike out some portion of
the resolution, and the offer of a sub
stitute by Mr. Blaine, of Maine, Mr.
Farnsworth (Radical), of Illinois,
moved to lay the original resolution,
•A>. introduced by Judge Wooward, on
the table. The Democrats demanded
the yeas and nays, and they were
ordered, resulting—yeas, 74 (all Radi
cals), nays, 46, so the resolution was
laid on the table. Among those who
voted in the affirmative was Mr. O'-
Neill, of Philadelphia. It may be sta
ted in this connection that before the
introduction of the resolution the Dem
ocratic members of the Pennsylvania
delegation were assured by some of
their Radical colleagues that they
would make no opposition to its pass
age. One of the members who gave
this assurance was Mr. Broomall, and
yet he voted to lay it on the table.
WAHSINGTON, June 8.
Woolley was brought into active life
again this afternoon, iu the House, by
Mr. Butler, who offered a resolution
that all communications addressed by
him to the House of Representatives
should be placed iu the hands of the
Managers by the Speaker or Sergeant
at-Arms, for investigation and report.
The resolution led to considerable de
bate in the House, which became
somewhat exciting at onetime. It ap
pears that this subject was brought up
by Mr. Butler from the fact that Wool
lev had sent to the Speaker a communi
cation covering thirty pages of fools
cap, in relation to his arrest and con
finement, which he desired to have
read to the I louse. Mr. Butler was in
formed of this, and prepared the reso
lution presented. During the debate
Woolley'scounsel, who were upon the
floor oft he House, withdrew the pa
per from the hands of Mr. Colfax, in
order to prevent its falling into Mr.
Butler's hands. Quite a number of
Republicans took side with the Demo
crats on this question, among them
Garfield, Schenck, E. B. Washburne,
Blaine, Plants, Farnsworth, Ingersoll
and Lawrence, of Pennsylvania. The
resolution was agreed to by a vote of
64 ayes to 61 nays. As soon as the vote
was'announced Mr. Eld ridge moved
to suspend the rules, that he might in
troduce a resolution discharging Wool
ley from custody, to be preceded by
the reading of Woolley's written state
ment. This, by a strictly party vote,
the House refused to do, but the Dem
ocrats insisted on calling the yeas and
nays on such suspension, and it was
voted down.

"Light, more light!" is the start
ling cry of the honest people groping
in thedarkness of Radicalism. "Light,
more light!" shouts the groaning tax
payer, bending under the load which
a Radical Congress has heaped upon
him. "Light, more light!" is the
pleading cry that comes to us from
those who earnestly seek a remedy for
the disease that is tugging at the vi
tals of the nation. Look and ye shall
see! Read and ye shall know! The
BEDFORD GAZETTE, for the Presi
dential Campaign, will be a complete
compendium of political news, speeches,
documents and every thing that per
tains to a political canvass in the col
umns of a weekly newspaper. It will
be published from the first day of June
until the seventh of November, next,
at the following low terms, cash in ad
vance :
One copy, * .75

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
! coming campaign, hut lie should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re
; publican neighbor a copy. This is
tlte plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
■ time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK
and put your Democratic newspaper into
the hands of every Republican who wilt
read. If you will do this vou will
accomplish more good in six months
i than you will by any other means in
j six years. Democratic politicians,
j throughout the county, are enabled, by
' the above low terms, to circulate Dem

cost. We appeal to them to see togot
i ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
! Now is the time to sow the seed. Af
i ter a little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub
lic mind in all its intense fierceness,
and then seed-time will have passed.
Friends, let us hear from you !

THE APPLE BLOSSOMS AGAIN. —
During the examination of Collector
Webster, of Baltimore, by the impeach
ment committee, the witness was pret
ty severely badgered by Mr. Butler,
and the New York World says: "One
of the questions asked by Butler was as
to how he (Webster) knew the Presi
dent would be acquitted to which
Webster answered, 'Well, General, I
do not really know, but I suppose it
was much the same way as you knew
how impeachment would result when
you telegraphed to New Hampshire
"that conviction was certain; that
Wade and prosperity would come in
with the apple blossoms.' This sally
from Webster was badly relished by
Butler."
