Th. Lesoosi of Murder
The conviction of the murderer
•loaAMly tit our court here last week,
for the killing of La•t iNatia, at Phil-
ipshurg, and his sentence of eizlit
years solitar4continement in the Eas
tern Penitentiary at Philadelphia, is a
lemon that should betaken to heart by
all of our young men. In the instance
before us, we have • good looking
young man,in the full enjoyment of all
his faculties, and in rosession of robust
health, suddenly taken •way from the
stage,of action, whereon he might have
made an envieble record for himself,
and transplanted , t- a gloomy dungeon
within the frowning walls of a peniten
tiary. But a few moments belotie he
committed the crime which sent a fel
low mortal, •unprepared, and with all
his sins upon his head, into the pres
ence of his Creator, we presume his
hopen,and anticipations were as high
as those of any of his companions.—
But in an evil moment, in a fury of un ,
governable passion, lie plunged a knife
into a 'fellow being, and thus thrust
himself without thisspale of human
so
ciety, and gave his tannic to the crimi•
nal record' of tbecounty as 6ne who
had dyed his handl in the blood o► a
fellow creature.
We trurt, then, that the trial and con•
viction of this man may a solemn

it will teach our young men to beware
of intoxicating drink, for this, it seems,

with the quickness of a flash, was bttr :

and in the ungovernable phrensy which
always attends those whom the devil
incites to bloody murder, he struck the
fatal blow that has made him an out,

It is the lery saddest of sad sighte to

before we are again called on to record
another Ruch fearful crime, committed
by any hands, much lees by those of a

Geary end Gettysburg
Last week a few of the most insigni•
ficant of the Federal generale of the
late war, among whom was Joux W.
Gz•iy, assem bled at Gettysburg to lay
out, oetensibly, the positions occupied
by the federal army during the three
day's battle, and to mark them with
granite. Invitations had been sent
to Gen. Lie and other Southern gener•
ale, to participate in the cerenioniee,
and mark the positions occupied by the
southern army. Gen. lAA, however,
and, indeed, all the Southern officers
had the good sense not to accept the in
vitation, and in their lettere of refused
expreseed their opinions that if w• ex
pect ever again to become one people
it will be better to let all such cad oc
citaions as that of the battle of Gettys
burg sink into oblivion, rather than
attEmpt to perpetuate them in monu
ments of enduring marble.
This was very sensible in Gen. Lea
and those other brave Confederate offi
cers. The whole thing was gotten up
simply as a benefit to J011!4 W.Orsite,
who is now the Radical candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania. We are
most happy to say, however, that ow
ing to the absence of the eclat which
the presence of the Southern gener
a/1 infilltl have given it, the whole
thing was a contemptible failure.

knocked the whole thing in the head,
and saved the country the hutnU,tion
9( tine inoult which its dirty lickspielee,
like Gxaar and others, would have ol
kred the Southern people.
Had tieuar not been a candidate,
this piece of errant. humbuggery would
'lever have been thought of. Gettysburg
is no more important as a hatte field
than other great points of the wain and
if it lie necessary to fix the positions of
the armies on one field, why not on

ington. An a matter of taste, after
haling invited the Southern generals
to Gettysburg, where they were defeat
ed, it %wild be highly proper to incits
thet;i to Bull Run, where they were vic

Put Geaar's scheme to glor fy hior

miserably failed, and we are dinposed
to look upon the whole transaction as
highly sidiculoimand extremyly enter

About Ttvirt Fishing
A few weeks agq, President GRANT
was up in Elk county, and, in one of
the trout streams of that locality, in
dulged his penchant for catching the
"speckled beauties." This wlrold leave
been all right, except for one thing.
It was after the first of August, and the
fish law of this State prohibits trout
fishing after that time, imposing& pen•
ally 'of five • dollars for every trout
caught after that period. This law
was passed to protect the trout in our
mountain streams, and keep up the
supply by affording them every facility
in multiply during the breedingseason.
Whether the President was aware of
the existenc'l oLthis law, we do not
know, but, at all events, he disregarded.
it, and in company with a party of
congenial souls, threw in his line with
the full determination to catch is
many as be could. The result was,
he succeeded in hooking twelve of the
beautiful little fish, which, at five dol
lars apiece, amount to justaixty dollars
—a snug little sum which Gen. GaAar
now owes to the Stataof Pennsylvania
as a fine for htiving violated one of her
sovereign laws.
Now, the question arises, ought
President Gams? to pay this fine?
Most certainly he ought. Although
President, Gen. GRANT has not lost his
individuality, and is amenable to
the laws, the same as any other citizen.
Because he happens to he the chief
magistrate of the country it dots not
entitle him toixemption from the laws,
and if be violates them, either inten
tionally or otherwise, he is undoubted
ly subject to 4 1he penalty. Let some
citizen of Elletpunty, therefore, lodge a
complaint aga l inst the President, and
let the State of Pennsylvania demand
her fees, the same as she would have
done had the offender been other than
President Gaxisr, and we shall then
have the distinguished Ithr breaker in
a position where he can illustrate to
the people hits respect for law and his
desire always to abide by its provisions.
This would besetting a luminous ex
ample, and would, doubtless, be quo :
ted hereafter as one of the President's %
chief characteristics. In view of the
fact that GRANT has violated,-iu some
respect, nearly every provision of the
United States Constitution, we submit.

their bread by the labor of their lands,
at so much per-diem—can get along
and make a comfort* , le living, paying
the high rates tbat are now asked for
everything nimble, it a mystery to rie
Indeed, we have the assurance that
they don't get along, and that there it
at preterit more distress in the commu
nity than has ever been known at any
previous time in the history of the
country.
Much a state of things in a land that
is overflowing with plenty and which
has just been blessed with one of the
moat bounteous harvests that Provi
dence has ever vouchsafed to mankind,
is one that ought to and must excite
comment and inquiry on the part of the
people. In the humorous but forcible
language of Artemus Weird, " why are
things thus and wherefore the cause of
this thusnesiir When a people are
poverty-stricken, whose land is groan
ing with wealth, there must be some
thing radically wrong in the adminis
tration of their affairs. When the
batlns of this farmers are full of wheat
and their flelde rich with , yellow corn
—when potatoes are measured by the
hundred thousand bushel when the
fruit, in very plenteousness, is telling
from the trees and the whole land
dropping with fatness, it is reasonable
to suppose that the pockets of tge peo
ple will be correspondingly full, and
such a thing as pecuniary distress ut
terly unknown. But such is not the
ease in the "Great Republic'' in this
year of our Lord. On the contrary,
the opposite is true, and we present the
asomalus condition of a." land tlow•
lag wlth-tnilk and honey," the masses
of.whose people are premed with leant
and gtoaning for the means wherewith
to purchase the neceeeary commodities
for the euetentation of life.
Where then, shall we look for the
cause of the great scarcity of money
Moat certainly to that party in whose
hands is the management'of the finan
ces of the county. They are renponsi
hie for the onerous burdens that vex
the people, and for that depreciated
currency, a dollar of which is now
scarcely worth half a dollar in coin.
The party whoee pernicious and ex•
travagant rule for the last eight years
has prostrated all the industrial inter
eats of the country, and brought want
and ruin upon the people as a necessa
ry consequence, are the cause of it all,
and to them must be attributed the
universal cry of 4listress that now comes
up from the four corners of the land.
By their corruption, their frauds, their
venality, their robberies, their extrava
gance and their general reckless
waste of the people's money, the coun
try has been reduced to the verge of
bankruptcy, and the people made to
murmur for the watt of a stead♦ cur
rency with which to carry on their dif
ferent avocations.
As we said before, when the coon.
try is burdened with plenty and the
pockets of the people are nevertheless
empty, the fault ties with the Govern
ment. Such is the case now, and the
Government is in the hands of the
Radical party. To them, therefore, let
the people look. If they will persist in
keeping this corrupt party in power,
they must bear the consequences; but
if they will unite in one grand eflort
and hurl it from the high places of the
land, the Democracy will soon restore
the Government to its primitive purity,
and administer the laws of the land
to the personal and pecuniary benefit of
its inhabitants. The prospect is worth
the trial. Let it be done, and the coun
try will take a new start. and that
grand impetus to business, which can
only be experienced when the people
have confidence in the "powers that
be," will immediately begin.
Negro Lust and Who is Responsible
for It.
In almost every paper we pick up we
are shocked to flp4 accounts of negro
Outrages upon white womui. We Pe)
dotu publish anything of this hind, be
cause we do not like to befoul our col
t/nine with the disgusting details.,
And yet the! /mould be known. We
believe Is important that the public
"..amid be made aware of these things,
because they show the inherent beast
liness of a race of peopl;, who, in a
condition of servitude, were made in
dustrious and useful inhabitants ; but
who, since their, elevation to a state of
freedom, have manifested a most las
civious nature, which delights to ex
hibit itself in forcible outrages upon
white women for the gratification of
their lustful pasaions.
In the South, particularly, white In

source, and very frequent and horrible

tion. The riegroes seem to take au in
sane pleasure in' committing these,
depredations upon the chastity of while.l
females, and indicate by their actions
that they are not only actuated by lust.
ful desire, but also by a spirit of inhu
man and dei ilish reNenge. Only a few
days ago we read of n case in which a
negro, after having violated the person
of a daughter of his former master, de
liberately eta her right aria, from
the effects of which, we believe, idie
has since died. Much instances are
getting alarmingly frequent, and down
right murder often follows in the wake
of ravishment
Now, who is id" plan),' for all this
crime and sin? Undoubtedly the men
who took the negro away from under
the wholesome and necessary restraint
in which lie was once held. A few
years ago such a thing as a negro rape
upon a'white woman was seldom heard
of in the South, but now it is an every
day occurence. And the Radical par

the ignorant black man away from the

state of enforced virtue to an atmoii•

ing up to him the prospect of cohabita
tion and intermarriage with white wo
men,-so stimulated his passions and
excited his lust, that to-day lie is found
roaming the country, like a roaring li
on, seeking whom lie inlay devour.
Certainly ' no condemnation is loose
sere (or a party that has thus not on•
ly reduced the black race to the condi
tion of wild beasts, but has also placed
the white women of the land in state sf
constant 'danger and alarm. Surely it
deserves - the - acorn and contempt of ev
ery good man, and of every man who
values the chastity of American *so
manhood. We trust, then, that all
these things may be considered when
the people come to prononnce their
verdict upon the conductor that party,
and that there may be written down,
not only upon the wall, but in every
true and patriotic heart, the fearful yet
merited sentence, "thou art weighed in
the balance and found wenting."
Are You Registered ?
Under the new Regiaery Law all
citizens who desire to vote in October
must have their natation the Registry
List of their district. These Registry
Lists are now made out in book form,
and are hung up at the different voting
places in beach boroug and township.
As this registry is a new thing, we ad
vise all Democratic voters, whether old
residents or new "COriiiii — iff their dts
tricts, to call at the place of voting
fortwith, examine the Registry Lints,
and see whether their names are on it.
If they are on—all right. Ifthe name
of any man is missing, call on the As
sessor of the district and have the mis
sing name registered at once. This
will save nOt only much trouble at the
polls, but in many eases it will save the
lass of a role on the day of the elec
lien.
Registry Lists may becorreoted, and
names added up to within ten' day. of
the election, aid the Assessor is bound
to make such addition or correction on
the list. The election takes place
this year on Tuesday, October 12. Fri•
day, Oct., 1, is therefore the !not day
that names can be legally added to the
Registry Liet. Committees of the see.
eral districts should see to it that the
name of every Democratic voter in
their districts respectively, is registered
before that time. Voters then
should also be sure, by personal exami
nalion, that their names are on the List.
Remember. the Law says that "No
man shall he permitted to vote on elec
Lion day whose name is not on the lint,
unless he shall make proof of his right
to vote by at least one qualified elector
of thedistrict in which be resides. and
by making oath, in his own behalf,
that he is a legal and duly qualified
voter of the district in which he claims
to vote, and in no other."

certificates of naturalization to the As

The Interest on the State Debt.
"During the years of Democratic
rule 'n Pennsylvania," says one of our
cotemporarim, "the Commonwealth
paid 4i and 5 per cent. interest on its
loans: These rates were maintained
until 1A67, when, on the recommends

Kemble, a new loan was negotiated to

Could have been continued, without
any difficulty, at theold rates of inter

otrered an opportunity to plunder the
treasury., and that was enough to rec
ommend it to those in power. It would
enable the State Treasurer to keep on
hand a large monthly balance, which
he could loan out to his favorite., to
the incalculable advantage of himself
and his friends. Some of the interest
on this heavy balance will hi-needed as
a corruption land to elect United

The Chinese Question
This extraordinary influk of the Chi
nese to our shores, is attracting a great
deal of attention just now, and Ppecula.
tion is rife se to what in to be their fu
ture and what the effect which the pre.
cipitation of so great an ayslance of
Mongolian incivilization upon 'our
shores, may have Apo'? our free institu
tions. The papers are full of this qurs
lion, and varied opinions are expresiied.
Among the ablest articles we have seen
on the subject, the following, from'the
Cincinnati Commoner, will command
general interest. We publish it, for
the present leaving our readers to draw
their own inferences:
TUL CIIINIIIIS INVASION
We have no present adequate con
ception of the capacity of that vest
- hiveofpopulation in China to overflow,
nor of the prodigious power of united
capita], cupidity and organization in
directing the current upon' our shores.
It is an event which we are inviting,as
we do so many thing- upon a superfi
cial view of the subject. The popular
idea, especially at the Mouth, where
there will be, of course, the most im
mediate profit from Chinese labor, is,
that the old style of living without man
ual white labor can be continued, and
Southern prosperity remain, as it was
only possible for it to do with negroes
for workers. If the negro can not be
set his task by private or by public i t ,
thority, and compelled to perform it, he
will soon degenerate into nothing and
disappear. It will take time, but the
white race has the power to compel that
result, no matter what schemes of ne
gro education, and negro ballots, and
negro endowment in goods and lands,
nor what amount of white suffering and
destitution and confiscation may b e
hatched in the future. As the Consti
cation is the higher law, so are the or•
ganic lawsof nature stronger than any
arbitrary enactments of so-called hu
man wisdom. In the long run, the
position of men is determined by
their qualities, and it is as wise to fight
against gravitation, which fixes the re.
lation of every atom to the rest, as
against the relative merits of races and
individuals. We may deny the inferi•
ority of the negro till we turn black in
the face hut we can not alter the fact.
' China and Japan are but beginning
to pour out their hordes of natives upon
us. They are reeking a better subnic
tenet, and they honestly earn their
breed by labor, and by habits of sav
ing he well as industry. They are sure
to thrive, and employers find their pe
cuniary account in accepting -their
nervier*, no doubt, without the leant
idea that we endanger our liberty, and
the validity of all its safeguards. At
present, it is true that the Chinaman
who does hotscworli and work out of
doors in California has held his head
down to his task, without looking front
the dead level of daily labor up to any
change of political or social condition.
But how long is that to continue, and
when to change altogether? Not
longer, certainly, than the superstition
against burial of the dead in foreign
lands, or than our own native nehmen
for power and money will Abstain from
attempting to give the Chinese their
ballots, and afterwards from endea%or
ing to use them as an office-bringing el
ement. As soon as, and sooner than
the Chinese emigration shall become
very numerous, their rights will be in
'tinted on by a new set of carpet baggers
and scalawags at first, but very noon
by one of the great parties, and imme
diately by the other. Whenever the
people of Ohio, and the people jour
Interior States can be degraded to the
vulgar level of adulterating the white
suffrage with yellow, red or black
race infusion,
the signal for a death
struggle on the Pacific for Chinese an
cendancy will begin. 'phi instinctive
opposition of the Irish and German la
borers to the employment of the Chi
nese in competition with them is mtly
the lightest part of the question. The
