We are unpleasantly compiled to
stop the editor of the Inquirer in his
"mad career."' In liis last week's issue
he goes on after this fashion :
"It has passed homestead and ex
emption laws, it has given laboring
men free homes, it has protected them
from the competition of the pauper la
bor of Europe, it exempts them from
national taxes, while the copperhead
party has just been defeated in the at
tempt to tax the poor man's last dol
lar at the same rate with the rich man's
luxuries.
The Inquirer is discoursing of the
benefits conferred upon the poorer
classes by the Radical party. The
mendacity of the string of assertions
above quoted, is beyond parallel. Does
the Inquirer dare to say, in the face of
history, that the "Republican" or
Radical party is the author of our
homestead laws? Why } the principal
enactments classed under that head,
were passed before the "Republican"
party was born. Hon. John L. Daw
son, one of the leading Democrats of
this state, acquired a national reputa
tion by his advocacy of the Homestead
Bill, as early as 18"1~2. That was a
Democratic measure and all other
homestead laws have been modeled
after it. And how about the exemp
tion laws? Why upon the face of ev
ery note waiving the exemption laws,
is specified "the act of 1849, exempting
$:>00 worth of property fi< in levy and
sale." Was the "Republican" party
in existence in 1849? If our memory
is correct, it came into life with the
Fremont campaign of ISGG, seven years
after this exemption law was passed.
As to giving anybody "free homes,"
there are plenty of anxious "Republi
cans" who would like Mr. l.utz to in
form them where they can be had, as
they are ready to start for them at
once, even if they lie at the head wa
ters of Salt River.
"It has protected them from the com
petition of the pauper labor of Europe."
If this means anything, it means that
high tariffs have been put upon iron
in order to prevent the foreign manu
facturer from shipping that article to
this country and selling it here at low
er prices than those asked by the do
mestic manufacturer. Is any body
fool enough to believe, for a moment,
that the enhanced price of iron bene- !
fits the laborer in the ore bank or the
furnace? He must be simple-minded,
indeed, who has any such thought. It
benefits the manufacturer, not his em
ployee. And why not the latter? Be
cause the wages of labor are not regu
lated and determined by the profits oi
capital. If this were so, there would
be no pauper labor in Europe nor any
where else; there would never have j
been negro slavery in the South, nor
white slavery in the factories of New
England. Tariffs protect capital, not
labor. And, again, much more of the
labor of this country, especially of the
naval districts, is employed upon ag
riculture and the mechanic arts, than
in mines and furnaces. Does the farm
er pay his workmen more because he
is compelled to give a higher price for
the iron in his plough and the steel in
his axe ? Or does the artizan pay his
journeymen better wages because the
tariff makes him pay more for his
tools? None but a madman can an
swer these questions in the affirmative.
Every man who uses these articles, the
cost of which is enhanced by the tar
iff imposed upon them to "protect"
our manufacturers from the "competi
tion of the pauper labor of Euroje,"
is made to suffer in order to build up
the capitalists who manufactures them.
Tiiree-fourths of the laboring men of
the United States use those articles, in
some lorm or oilier. The protection
they receive from tariffs is the protec
tion which wolves give to lambs.
"It exempts them from national
t ixes." It apjiears that, in the ethics
of the Inquirer , "a lie well stuck to is
as good us the truth." We a-k the
editor of that paper, does not the la
boring man pay taxes in stamps, in du
ties upon the fabrics he wears, and in
the prices of the food he < ats enhanced
by licenses and other federal taxes? Is
not the butcher a laborer and does not
he pay a federal license? And do not
laborers generally eat meat and is not
the price of meat higher than former
ly on account of the butcher's license
and other federal taxes ? Is not the
miller a laborer and does lie r.ot pay a
federal license? And do not some ta
borers eat bread when they can get it,
and is flour cheapened by the fact that
the miller must pay a license and oth
er federal taxes? Ah! Lutz, l.utz,
you are -inning again-t light and
knowledge and you hud better repent
soon or the devil will not let you off as
easy as your illustrious compeer, Torn
Pepper!
As to the Democratic party attempt- ;
ing "to tax the poor man's last dollar '
at the same rate with the rich man's
luxuries," we have several times ex
ploded that lie. We do wish Lutz
would get up some new charge against
us Democrats, even if it Is* never so
false. We are tired of bursting up his
old ones. They begin to smell. If
taxing the bond-holders, as proposed
by the Democratic party, was meant to
tax the poor man's last dollar, then j
it would not be a bad thing to be a poor
man with a last dollar. Rothschild,
and the rest of the bond-holders on the
other side of the Atlantic, must belong
to the "pauper laborers of Europe !"
Oh, yes! The laborer now gets "two
dollars per day!" How nice! form
erly he got but fifty cents per day.
How many pounds of coffee ran the la
borer buy for Li - two dollars to-day?
From five to six. How many pounds
of coffee could he buy for his fifty
cents twelve years ago? Why, from
five to six. And so with other articles
which the laborer consumes. How
much this radical party* lias benefited
the laborer! Its next step will be to
abolish labor and feed everybody out
of the national soup-howl.
•Mr :MI.I noxs.
The Inquirer has lost its prestige a- the
j organ of the Radical party of this coun
ty. Bloody Run has robbed poor Lutz
of his blushing honors. The meeting
. on Tuesday evening of last week, was
run completely in the interest of the
Bloody Run machine. Hence the In
quirer is quite sore-headed. It is bad
ly out of sorts. It even scolds the
chairman of the Radical county com
mittee, Esq. Lingenfelter. We give its
article in full, as follows:
In our local columns will be found
the resolutions offered at the meting
on Tuesday night. With theexeeption
■ of the 4th an . oth they are fully and
heartily endor-wl by every Republican
in the county. The Ith may not be
specially objectionable, as we all ad
mire Gov. Geary, but it is a little
premature to attempt to commit the
Republicans of Bedford county with
out giving them a chance to indicate
their choice, lor which there is abun
dant time before the nomination for
our next Governor can be made. The
nth resolution is highly objectionable.
Not only have we a candidate for Uni
j ted States Senator in our owu district,
Hon. Edward McPherson than whom
there is no better in the State, and to
whom it would be an unpardonable
lack of courtesy, but the great majority
of our people are unqualifiedly in favor
of him as their candidate. Again, c
ven the leading Republicans of the
county were not consulted at all; the
resolutions were prepared apparently
by a single individual, the committee
j appointed and the resolutions sprung
upon the meeting, the writer of them
quickly moving their adoption almost
before the Chairman of his committee
was done reading them.
We have been unable to find a sin
gle republican outside of the parties
i managing the affair, who either con
sents to or in any way approves of the
I resolution. The Republicans of Bed
j ford county cannot allow any single
| individual to commit them or their
representative to any man for United
States Senator. With all due respect
and the highest personal esteem for
Hon. John Scott, admiring his abili
ty and honoring hi.- integrity the Ue
; publicans ,of Bedford county cannot
and do not endorse him a- their first
choice for United States Senator nor
will they regard their Assemblyman
as in any way bound or committed by
the resolution referred to. We hope
the chairman of the County Commit
tee will hereafter take charge of these
meetings as usual and prevent any fu
ture unfortunate occurrences of this
kind." _
Now that Grant, is elected, he is al
; ready beset with a host of borers for of
fice and selt constituted advisers.—ln
quirer.
We had thought that these virtuous
radicals hurrahed for Grant and bellow -
ed for Colfax, and roared and ripped up
and down the country generally, mere
ly because they wanted the country
j saved front the pesky "rebels." But it
! seems after all, that they only wanted
the offices.
I GRANT says to the thousands who
are boring the life out of him with ap
plications for positions, "Let us have
| peace." These words do not posse-s
the same charm nor sound so musical
j in the ears of the Radical office seekers
as they did some weeks ago. The
Radicals now hold that they are enti
tled to a "piece" as well as Grant.
A 1.1 I I I.i: AFK.VKI*.
Gov. Geary has issued his procluma
! tion declaring the election of the sever
al persons returned to the office of the
the secretary of the cumin n wealth as
eleeted to the forty-first congress, in thp
several districts of the state, but has
seen tit to omit from the list the name
of Hon. Henry D. Foster, returned for
■ the 21st district. He says:
"In the twenty-first district, com
posed of the counties of Indiana,
Westmoreland and Fayette, no such
j returns of the election have been re
ceived by the secretary of the common
wealth, its would, under the election
laws of the state, authorize me to pro-
I claim the name of any person as hav
ing been returned duly elected a mem
ber of the house of representatives of
the United State- for that district."
Now, t woof the three return judges
for the twenty-first district, certified to
the secretary of the commonwealth the
election of llettry D. Foster; the other
refused to sign the certificate, and, it is
alleged, made out a certificate of his
own setting forth the election of John
Covode. If the governor's action, in
this matter be founded on correct prin
ciples, then a -ingle mulish or design
ing return judge can always prevent
the insertion of the name of the duly
elected member of Congress in the gu
bernatorial proclamation. But we
; doubt not that Gov. Geary desired to
proclaim Gen. Foster elected, but he
was a little afraid that if he did so, a
certain candidate for a certain radical
nomination might suffer -ome damage,
j Poor, timid fellow !
There is a movement on foot among
politicians on both sides to remove Su
perintendent Kennedy, of the New
York police force, on the ground of va
rious acts of tyranny and oppression in
office.

KFFIKAIiE.
If women's rights are not promptly j
recognized, it will not be the fault of .
the women themselves, for they are
moving with wonderful energy in the j
matter. Conventions are being held
in every part of the country. Speech
es of the most earnest character are got j
off by lair orators, and a spirit of deter- ]
initiation manifested that augurs pro
pitiously for ultimate success. Last j
week a woman's rights convention j
assembled in Boston, which was large
ly attended, and at which the question
of negro suffrage was warmly advooat- i
ed. Julia Ward Howe spoke at length
on the subject, stating among other
things the fact that for a long time she
had said and written much against
woman suffrage, but when the ballot
had been given to the negro she thought
it was time that women should enjoy
that franchise also. Lucy Stone Black
well gave an account of the attempt
of the women to vote at Vineland, and •
the refusal of their votes. This irrepres
sible ladyinformed heraudiencethatshe
had come to thedeterminedconclusion
that it would "never do to give it up
so," and had accordingly entered suit
against the judge of the election who
refused Iter vote. Her declaration of
intention to carry the matter to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
should the courts of New Jersey con- j
firm the action of the election judges,
elicited rounds of ap iause.
At this convention a memorial was
unanimously adopted, asking that in j
all future amendments to the Cousti- j
tution the rights of women be secured, ;
and that in all future legislation for
the District of Columbiaaud the Terri
tories the rights of suffrage be given
to women. Senator Wtl.-ou made a
speech also, in which he expressed sen
timents favorable to the object of the
convention.
From these earnest movements it
will he seen that titi- question is grad
ually assuming vast proportions, and
the sterner sex may a- well make up
their minds, first as last, to accede to
the demand.
B<-n ButlerrVi Position.
A special reporter of the New* York
Ilerutd has recently had a conversation
with Ben Butler, wlm has expectations
of becoming the Radical leader of the
next Congre-s. The late Presidential
election, said the General, was a
"thrown race," the leaders of the De
| mocracy having intended it to go just
as it did Grant winning the Presidency
and Hoffman winning New York.—
The newspaper defection in New York
and Washington was" part of the
scheme, the closeness of the race in j
Pennsylvania and Indiana determin
ing the leaders to demoralize the par
ty by the proposed change of front.
. The new administration will be radi
cal upon the reconstruction points, but
conservative upon financial matters.
As to the labamu claims, he thinks
tiie people are willing to wait until the
precedent of some English war to
square accounts by a liKe I'lmucv "
British commerce.
CONTESTED SEATS IN* QISGR ESS .
The cost of a-cat in the British Parlia
ment is something beyond the purse
of a man of moderate income, hut il
the custom of contesting elections in
creases at the present rate in this coun
try, we m ty lie able to reckon scats in
our national House of R *presentatives
at a figure quite a- high. To judge by ?
the great number of such rases, not on
ly in Congress, but for different offices
in all parts of the country, fraud and
corruption entirely overpowered jus
tice and decency at the late election.—
More than twenty seats in the next
Congress will be contested, and many
of the claimants have not the slightest
legitimate prospect of success.

THE TORTEGA- PRISONERS.—The
Boston Advertiser, speaking of the
{ men now confined in the Dry Tortugas
on the charge of complicity in the as
sassination of President Lincoln, says :
j "Nobody ever conceived that Arnold
was guilty of anything beyond the plot
to abduct; there are grave doubts
! whether O'Laughlin. now dead, was
j implicated further than that, and the
commission which tried them under
| stood this fully or they would have j
been sentenced lo the gallows, instead
|of for life at the Tortugiis. Spangler,
I whose six years' term is now* more than
halfexpited, is undoabted'y an innocent
man, knowing nothing of either plot;
but everybody who ever examined the
matter, except President Johnson, l>e
i c une convinced of this long ago."—
The Alexandria Gazette adds to the
; above: "We believe Dr. M add to be
entirely innocent. .It is time that
this outrage upon justice and humani
ty should cease."
A GOOD ONE.—A Galveston gentle
man, lately stopping at the Nicholson
House, Bastrop, was in a room recent- i
ly occupied by the Agent of the Freed
man's Bureau. One evening, Tom,
j a freeihnau, entered the room to make
1 a fire, and after doing so sat down,
crossed his legs and made himself at
home, smoking and spitting in the fire
place. The Galvestonian asked him
what he meant by such familiarity: j
Tout looked up in evident surprise,
j and immediately arose, hat in hand, j
and in his politest manner, said: "Beg
j pardon, Ma-sa ! didn't know you was
a vem man; thought you was de Freed
man-s Bureau!— News, Gatcedon, Tex
as.
SOME of the Mtcnigaii newspapers j
strongly urge the re-election Senator ]
Chandler, radical, whose term expires j
on the 4th of March next. Refer
ring to this recommendation, the Phil
adelphia Telegraph, radical, remarks:
"We think Michigan can do much j
better. Chandler, at the best, is a
demagogue, happening to he on the
right side at present. But he is a man
who is nut qualified, either by intellect
or habits, for the high position which be j
has now tilled during a period of twelve
years. In all the elements of states
manship he is a mere pigmy by the j
side of his colleague, Senator Howard. I
Let the new Michigan Legislature
look around the .State before they give
Chandler another six years' lease of ,
the flesh-pots. They will have no J
difficulty in finding a better and more
deserving man to represent their State ,
in the National Senate." j

BELAIR, Nov 17. —Late on Sunday
afternon last:, a most violent outrage
was committed by a negro man 011 a
most estimanle married ladv. in Har-
V 1
ford county, Md. The lady was so
much abused, and so seriously injured,
that up to the time of writing, she had
been unabletogiveany detailed account
of the brutal conduct of the negro. ;
This is the fourth or fifth affair of this
kind which has happened in this coun
ty within the past year, in which ne
groes have been the actors and white
women the sufferers. In this instance,
the lady was returning from church,
and had left the buggy of her husband
but a few minutes before the outra
geous assault was made upon her.
On Tuesday, the 3d instant, a most
horrible crime was committe near
Svainsboro,' Kmanuel county, by a
negro named Pierce Bolding upon the
person of Miss Wiggins, a young lady
of fifteen years, and the daughter of a
respected citizen of that county, it
appears that she was on her way io
school in the village, when the negro
rushed from the roadside, knocked her
senseless, and accomplished his pur
pose. She was found lying insensible !
by a passer-by and carried home, and
on recovering related what had oc
curred. The officers of the law and
others started in pursuit of the scoun
drel, and overhauled him near Sum
merville, in the - tine county, from
whence he was carried to jail, when h<
confessed having committed the deed.
The same night a body of armed men
proceeded to the jail, took him out and
hung him. Previous to his execution
he stated that lie an i several other
negroes, had formed a plan on that day
to violate the persons of several young
ladies who attended school in the vil
lage, hut the others overslept them
selves and he started out alone, and
Miss Wiggins was the tlr-t one he met.

presented the views of the majority on
the sense of the Council on these ques

"We warn ail good and honest men
against all associations which ignore

name in their services. We adopt dis

nate communion. We admit no one
into our pulpits whom we do not know

reject it."
