WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE F
It is generally conceded that the press of
to-day wieids a moulding influence ou pub
lic opinion unequalled by any other instru
mentality whatever. The lawyer, the au
thor, the teacher, each exercises a certain
influence in moulding public sentiment on
moral, social, or political questions, in bis
sphere. But the ail pervading, everywhere
penetrating, and continually operating
power of the day is the newspaper press.
On the editors of these papers and their
moral integrity and political honesty de
pends, more than on auy other, class of men
whatever, the political, social and moral
condition of our country. This we believe
every intelligent, thinking and observing
man will unhesitatingly concede. How
great then the responsibility resting upon
those in whose hands is placed this great
power for good or evil. Y'et how little do
the people, who buy and read and place in
the hands of their ohildren the newspapers
of the day, regard THE CLARWOTUR either of
the papers themselves or the men who con
trol them. Men are careful as to whom
they select as the teachers of their children
in schools, extremely particular about their
ministers, yet have no regard at all for the
character of their family newspaper the
most powerful instrumentality in moulding
and fixing the habits, character, and morals
of their children. When we take up the
newspapers of the day we shudder to
think how little this important matter is
considered cither by publisher or pa
tron. The newspapers that may be
read through in the fauii'y circle, without
bringing the blush to the cheek of all who
are not devoid of common modesty,
may be numbered ou one's fingers. The
great MXS of daily, aud week
ly pajicrs large and small alike teem with
unseemly and obscene advertisements, ex
tended and disgusting police reports, mi
nute account- of crimes of every character,
and everything calculated to pollute the
mind, harden the conscience, and corrupt
the morals of the render, aud familiarize
him. whether young or old, with crime of
every grade and character. Such are the
messengers that, under pretence of giving
us tile news of the day, daily find their way
to our firesides and scatter broadcast over
the whole LAND AN insinuating, silent,
pestilential influence, that, slowly ]>erhap6
but surely, produces an appalling har
vest of vice, immorality and crime. It
requires no GREAT degree of intelligence
to trace a large portion of the crimes thai
now fill our prisons with criminals to this
most fruitful source WE unhesitatingly
DOS'tare, and that without fear of success
ful contradiction, that no more fruitful
source of general corruption exists in the
land than the vast mass of newspapers of
eiery kind controlled and edited by cor
rupt men whose only aim is to make
money out of their publications, without
regard to the influence the exert upon
the community. And further we declare
that the fearful responsibility rests not
alone upon the publishers of these vi-"
eious sheets, but also, and equally, upon
the thoughtless or indifferent who pat
rooize and sustain them. Header, are you

| GEN. GRANT'S SPEECHES.
[From the New York Tribune.]
' The Democratic journals are greatly exer
cised about Gen. Grant's speeches, audpre
! diet disaster to the countrj' in the election
: of a man who, (they say) cannot make a
1 glittering oration. One of these carping
| critics is Gen. S. B. Buckner, now the
editor of The Louisville Courier, the chief
Fendleton-Demoeratic organ of Kentucky.
Editor Buckner sharply reviews Gen.
Grant's style and ideas, and thinks he won't
do. But Mr. Buckner possibly may re
member one little speech or composition of
' Gen. Grant. It was as follows :
HEADQUARTERS ARMY IN THE FIKUI, 1
CAMP NEAR DOKKI.SOX, FEB. 16, 1862. /
To (Jen. S. B. BUCKNEM, Confederate Army:
| Yours of this date, proposing an armistice
aud appointment of commissioners to settle
|t< rms of capitulation, is just received. So
| other ternus than an unconditional and imme
diate surrentler can be accepted. I propose to
more immediately upon your works. I am,
Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servaut,
U. S. GRANT,
Brigadier-General IT. S. A., Commanding.
Gen. Buckner called these terms un
i generous and uncivil; bat he made haste to
; accept them. For onco, at least, he clearly
comprehended Gen. Grant's style.
Some time afterward, Gen. Grant was
[ visited in his camp before Y'ieksburg by
i Gen. Pemberton, who was anxious to know
: upon what terms that city could be relieved
from a siege just then pending. Here are
; the speeches;
PEMBERTON. —Geu. Grant. I meet you iu
j order to arrange terms for capitulation,
j What terms do you demand ?
, GRANT . Unconditional surrender.
PEMBERTON. — Unconditional surrender!
: Never, so long as I have a man left me. T
! will light rather.
GRANT, —Very well.
But Gen. Pemberton reflected a little,
| and as soon a-1 lie full force of Gen. Grant's
brief speech became clear to his mind, he,
; too, made lia-te to comply.
" Again, on the road to Richmond, after the
battle of Spottsylvauia Court House, Gen.
Grant indulged in a speech or dispatch in
those tolerably clear work-:
'•We have now ended the sixth day of very
heavy fighting, and the result to this time is
much in our favor.
* * I propose to jigM it oat on this line if
I it lakes alt Summer."
\\ e believe Gen. Lee was in no doubt as
to the meaning of this speech. If be was,
those doubts were settled by the next which
we shall quote of Gen. Grant's speeches.
I he scene this time is at Appomattox Court-
House:
I propose to receive the Surrender of the
Army of Northern Virginia upon the follow
ing terms."
We need not quote the terms. It is
enough to say that Gen. Lee very clearly
understood them, and lost no time in com
plying.
Since that time Gen. Grant lias made few
speeches, but few and brief as they are,
they are by no means so ambiguous as these
Democratic critics would li3vo us believe.
His late and noblest speech reads as follows:
Mr. President, and Gentleman of the Sa
tional I nion Convention : I wiil endeavor in
a very short time to write yo a letter accept
ing the trust you have imposed upon me.
[Applause.] Expressing my gratitude for
the confidence you have placed in me, I will
now say but little orally, and that is to thank
you for the unauimity with which you have
selected me as a candidate for the Presi
dential office. I can say in addition, I looked
on during the progress of the proooodinga at
Chicago with a graat deal of interest, and am
gratified with the harmony and unanimity
which seem to have governed the delibera
tions of the Convention. If chosen to fill the
high office for which you have selected me, I
will give to its dnties the same energy, the
same spirit, and, the same will, that I have
given to the performance of all duties which
have devolved upon me heretofore. Wheth
er I shall be able to perform these duties to
your entire satisfaction, time will determine.
You hace truly said, in the course of your
address, that I shall hare no policy of my own
to enforce against the trill of (hepeople.
We have had four Generals in the Presi
dential chair, not one of whom was brilliant
as an orator. George Washington, when giv
en tbe command of the Revolutionary Armv,
could scarcely say "I thank you." The
only real speech he ever made was written
by Alexander Hamilton. Andrew Jackson |
was no orator; but when he said:
By the Eternal.' the Union must and shall
be preserved,"'
haswas very fairly understood, even in South
Carolina. Gens. Harrison and Taylor were
men of little oratorical ability, yet they made
out to use intelligible English. Julius
Caesar was an indifferent i-jieaker, yet there
was solid pith in his " Yeni, ridi. uici"
Napoleon < the first; was a wretched orator,
and still men of every tongue found no diffi
culty in getting at the meaning of the few
brief speeches he had occasion to make.
There are other notable examples that
l 'sieoeh is silver, hut silence is golden.''
These, however, will suffice: and as to Gen.
Grant, we think our Democratic friends will j
manage to understand what he may hereaf- j
ter say, quite as clearly as they did his hum
ble efforts at Fort Do nelson. Vicksburg.
Spottsylvttiia, and Appomattox. Mean
while, we recommend them to a careful
study of his very latest effort—the brief ami
noble letter accepting the Republican nomi
nation. the text of which is in these words:
To Gen. JOSEPH It. HAWLEY, President
Xational Union Republican Convention: In
formally accepting the nomiuation of the Na
tional Union l'epublicao Convention of the
j 21st of May iust., it seems proper that some
statement of views beyond the mere accept
ance of the nomination should be expressed.
The proceedings ofthe Convention were mark- I
ed with wisdom, moderation, and patriotism,
and I believe express the feelings of the great
mass of those who sustained the country
through its recent trails. / indorse the Reso
lutions. If elected to the office of President
of the United States, it will be my endeavor
to administer oil the laws in good faith with
conomy, and with the view of giving peace,
guiel, (itul protection everywhere. In times like
the present it is imposible, or at least emi
nently improper, to lay down a policy to be ad
hered to, right or wrong, though an adminis
tration of four years. New political issues,
not furseen. are constantly arising; the views
of the public on old ooes are constantly chang
ing, and a purely administrative office should
always be left free to evecule t/te will of the
people. 1 always hose respected that will,
and always shall. Peace and universal pros
perity—its sequence—with economy ot admin
istration, will iighten tbe burden of taxation,
while it constantly reduces the National debt.
LET IS HAVE PEACE. With great respect,
your obedient servant,
U. 8. GRANT,
LAST month closed on tbe national debt
seven millions of dollars less than on tbe 30tb
of April. So steadily decreases this bugbear
of the Democratic party by honest payment,
and re may be thankful as well as proud of
it. Every million off lessens tbe chances of
Pendleton and the repndiators. A few years
of regular liquidation, and the cut-throat
Democracy will net dare to breathe the
propositions of dishonor and treason which
ha's already cost us so much.
THE OK.UOCHATIC DILEMMA.
The Democratic party is now in Mr.
Micawber's expectant condition, waiting
for something to turn up. To the Fourth
of July Convention it looks forward with
mingled hope and fear—hope that some
thing lucky will happen, fear that the
elements of discord will result in a grand
row.
The Democracy came out of the war
pretty badly whipped, and with the con
sciousness of having deserved more punish
ment than it got. In 1864, while Grant
and Stanton were organizing the final
victory, the Democracy solemnly declared
the war a failure, and consistently nominated
the man who had done most to make it so.
But McClellau did not help the ruined
cause. Siuce then the party has been liko
Japhet in search of his father, looking for
a good candidate for the Presidency, with
the moral certainty of finding a bad one.
It will not be easy for them to unite u|>on
any oue, however distinguished he may be.
There is Brick Pomeroy, who wants the
whole debt repudiated, and there is Mr.
Belmont, who wants it paid. There is
Pendleton, who would pay it in greenbacks,
or not at all. and Seymour, who is opposed
to anything which Pendleton advocates.
There is Hancock, who helped to hang Mrs.
Sutratt, and the Abbe McMasters, who
declares that execution a brutal murder of
an innocent woman. Hancock won all the
distinction he has by fighting against the
rebels, and to him comes Mr. Yallandig
ham, the champion of the peace party, who
protests against the nomination of a Lincoln
hireling. A dozen factions are in battle
array, each with their favorite leader, and
there is likely to be a pretty fight when
they meet in the New York Convention of
July.
i Then there are the Democrats, whose
i eagle vision perceives the weakness and
unpopularity of the leaders of the party,
and who are sure that neither Pendleton,
nor Yallindighatn, nor Hancock, can be
successfully opposed to Grant, and who
consider it policy to steal the Republican
thunder. These are the gentlemen who
would turn the party inside out, revamp
1 it, abolish all its more odious features,
and then present it, washed and brushed,
as a free-will offering to Chief Justice
Chase. But these astute politicians simply
add to the trouble. In the first place, it is
highly improbable that the Democrats
could he induced to make the party
sufficiently anti-Democratic to induce Mr.
Chase to touch it. Mr. Chase is an old
abolitionist, firmly convinced that the colored
man should have the civil and political
rights of the white man, and the principle
of universal suffrage is one which he could
never give up. Would the negro-haters of
the Democracy sustain such a man for the
Presidency? What support could he expect
from the rioters of New York, who burn-.J
the asylum for colored orphan children, and
who hung colored men to lamp posts?
What aid from the furious Democrats of
Washington, whose rage at the election of a
Republican Mayor by colored votes carried
them into riot? The Democratic party can
hardly afford to give up the negro hating
bird in hand in the hope of getting the
conservative bird in the bush. If the party
should he '"purified," and Mr. Cha.-e should
he nominated, Brick Pomeroy and his host
of followers will bolt. If it should not
cleanso itself—but we must pause in these
speculations; the Democratic dilemma is
distressing.
Must it come hack to Andrew Johnson at
last ? Things have ttiai appcarau'ie. —

A DEMOCRATIC 'OPINION OF ME
THODISM.
The Dcmocrcy, through their widest
spread journal, the La Crosse Democrat,
sendcth greetings to the Methodist of the
country. The occasion is the assembling of
the Quadrennial Conference at Chicago,
and the infamous document reads:
There is now in session in the eity of Chi
cago. a nondescript, black-and-tan, rump
Radical, politico religious mob, known as
the Quadrennial Conference ofthe Metho
dist Church. It is convened nominally in
the interests of the Methodist denominat ion,
but really in the interests of the mongrel
party, and with an eye to the interests of
Grant, who is a candidate of the Methodists.
It will remain in session until after the Chi
cago Convention, and will add its nasal
whine to the chorus of damnahble discords
that will hail the nomination of the azure
hacked butcher. It is engineered by the in
famous Simpson, Methodist Bishop of Phil
adelphia, who, in collusion with lien. How
ard, the other reverend ruffian of the Freed
men's Bnreau, took possession of twelve
hundred churches belonging to the Metho
dist Church South, and turned them over to
the niggers and eonvict preachers of the
North.

CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM WASHINGTON.
THE UNION- DKAD—THE DECORATION CERE
MONIES AT ARLINGTON HEIGHTS.
W-.3HINGTON, D. C., June 1, IS<>B.
Dear Inquirer .-—Some of your readirs are
doubtless acquainted with the celebrated
homestead of Gen. Lee, but few are acquaint
ed with the solemn scene it now presents, and
I wish to give a description of tlie place, and
of the decoration ceremonies of the dOtb ult.,
by the Grand Army of the Republic.
This is one of the most beautiful and lovely
spots of which the old Dominion can boast,
and lies immediately west of Washington
and south of Georgetown, in the crescent of
the Potomac. Extending from the bauks of
the river for about a half mile is a beautiful
bottom, then the acclivity of the hill com
mences, which rises to about 100 feet above
the level of the river, and from the brow of
this hill extending westward as far as the eye
can reach is a beautiful upland lawn inter
spersed with trees and shrubs that renders it
one of nature's loveliest retreats.
On the brow of the hill and nearly envel
oped in trees and vines stands the Arlington
Mansion, the house of Lee, with its heavy
columns and spacious halls, a worthy vis a
vis to the National Capitol seen in stern
magnificence standing on the opposite bank.
But here is not heard the sound of revelry or
, the carousal of chivalry, as of yore. Tbey
have fled forever. The dead reign here
alone.
In and around this farm lies 70,(XJ0 loyal sol
diers. Standing on the western portico of the
mansion and looking westward you contem
plate a scene never to be forgotten. Here in
regular order and in solemn amy, stand
the pale sentinels of the dead, tellingthe hum
ble story of the common soldier. Here are
gathered the sheaves from Bull Run,
Fredericksburg, Chancellorville, Rich
mond, Petersburg, Ball's Bluf, aud every
other field in Virginia, where our reapers de
scended to the harvest of deah. Here in
one common tomb lie the buries of 2,111
Union "unknown" soldiers. Here the pale
army of the dead have marshalled from the
rocky passes of South Mountain to the
swamps of theChickahominy, anl have come
to lay them dovrn forever in one solemn
bivouac around the Capitol of the nation
which they died to save.
"On fames eternal camping ground
Their peaceful camp is spread,
And Glory guards with solemn sound
The bivouac of the dead."
| At 1, P. M., on the 30th, the ceremonies
i commenced. About 6,000 soldiers andgen
; tlemen had assembled at the maisious laden
I with their floral tributes of respect,
j General Grant and Maj-General6 Howard,
! Hancock, Logan, Dyer and Rucker, with
their soldiers were there, and many mem
bers of Congress. After a thrilling oration
from the Hon. J. A. Garfield M. 0., and a
funeral dirge by the 6th Cavalry band, the
procession formed in front of the mansion
; and with solemn pace proceeded to the gran
j ite tomb under which rest the bones of
2,111 unknown soldiers, where a circle around
the tomb was formed of little boys and gills,
orphans ot soldiers, from the "Orphan
House ' ot Washington. Here the scene
was most impressive; the little children stand
ing around in white garments singing an ap
propriate air, their tender voices trembling
: with emotions, betraying their early convic
| tions of the truth of their loneliuess, while
gathering close around stood that vast assem
blage with beads bowed before this costly
sacrifice.
A solemn prayer was then offered at the
conclusion of which the band struck up a
funeral anthem and the little children to
gether with Mrs. Gen. Graut and Mrs. Gen.
•'! avxl atrour*..! -twl-.v-oti
flowers, and tender hands, the tomb of those
who have no friends but the Republic: the
unknown but honored dead.
The procession moved on to the open field
[ where far as the eye could reach on either
hand extend the limits of this field of death.
Here the memorable address of Mr. Lincoln
at the dedication of the Gettysburg Monu
ment was read by Mr. Paine of Wisconsin.
Then the soldiers dispersed throughout the
field as far as the flowers reached, and ten
derly decked the quiet mounds of these sleep
ing children of the Republic wi'h Spring's
sweetest offering.
Throughout the whole scene, and while
fair hands were weaving a chaplet of flowers
and placing them tenderly npon the brow of
these sleeping heroes who died for liberty,
truth and justice, it was fit that a hundred
guns shouid speak in thuader tones the cor
onation anthem.
But tributes to the memory ol the
slain are but feeble evidences of the unspoken
gratitude a loyal heart must feel for him who
laid bis life a willing sacrifice upon the altar
of patriotism.
No marble shafts above them rear: no
storied urns their dust enclose, but in the
: hearts of their countrymen ihey live. These
j are monuments more lasting than St. Peter's
| more enduring than brass or marble, which,
'• not fell decay, nor all destroying time shall
waste. JUNIUS.

Truly, J. R.
Qua Copperhead ooteniporarics are great
ly exercised about a presidential candidate.
! Hancock hung Mrs. Surratt and the unre
constructed rebels wont vote for him; Chuse
is an abolitionist, and the unterrified wont
go negro suffrage; Pendleton is for repudia
tion, and Belmont and Morrissy hold gov
ernment bonds and wont tolerate him. So
it goes through the whole programme.
Many are inclined to give up iu despair, but
the more hojtcful still claim that they will
be able to bring the party up to swallow
Jhasc and negro suffrage. What a novo'
sight it will be to see Bedford county Cop
perheads advocating negro suffrage.
The Battle (•round.
Pennsylvania will be the battle field on
which must be decided the contest for Pres
ident. Here the fatal blow to armed trait
ors was struck, and hero must l>e inflicted
the death wound to those heresies which
still insist that secession is just, that the
war for the Confederacy was right, and that
the Southern States are entitled to be let
alone. In a measure our government never
was regarded as fixed, eternal as earthly
things can be made, until the war for the
suppression ot rebellion proved a triumph.
Ever before that triumph, the South claim
ed that the Union of States was a mere
political understanding acknowledged for
temporary purposes, whieh could be repudi
ated at will by any of the parties to the
agreement. The war exploded these dog
mas. Lee's surrender was a virtual aud
positive concession that the Government is
a permanent affair, that its national author
ity is supreme in the States—that no State
can set up a claim to do any act, or further
any object at variance to the wishes, will,
or laws of the National Government. State
sovereignty, while it never had an existence
in fact, ceased to be recognized as a theory
when slavery was aboli.-hed. The war for
the Union accomplished all this, or rather
it prepared the way for securing all this
through the right kind of political results.
If the Republican party elects its President,
it will have no trouble to make the Gov
ernment, for liberty's ends and all the bles
sings of peace, a vast success, but if the
l Democratic party succeeds, the reverse will
|be the effect. It ouly needs a Democratic
! vietory at the polls to make rebel defeat on
| the battle field mean all and more than
what was sought to be secured by secession.
This fact renders the Presidential contest
an important struggle, and therefore both
parties will make a great effort to carry
Pennsylvania, because the electoral vote of
i this State will decide the Presidential con
! test, and fix whether the bonds of Union
: shall be of adamant or as a rope of sand.
, We have the votes, the stern and true lle
' publican votes in the State, to carry Peun
; sylvania by at least fifty thousand for Grant.
| Can that entire vote he polled ?— State

State School Home for our Colored Sol.
diers' Orphan*.
The Colored Soldiers' and Sailors' Or
phans, Committee desire to make known as
widely as possible through the State the
following facts; A School Home in which
: all the colored soldiers' and sailors' orphans
j of Pennsylvania are to be supported and
: educated by the Stale has been purchased
by the committee. Mr. IsaacS. Flint has
been selected fcs its principal. The work
i has been approved by Colonel McFarland,
j State Superintendent of Soldiers Orphans,
i and the School Home will be open for the
; reception of orphans on Monday, June 15.
This School Home formerly known as
| "White Hall" or "Bristol College," is
situated in Bucks county, on the Delaware,
sixteen miles above Philadelphia, and two
and a halfbelow Bristol, and oue mile from
ScheDck's Station, on the Philadelphia and
Trenton Railroad. The premises consist of
a commodious and substantial building, two
hundred and four feet long, with thirteen
and a half acres of excellent land, extending
to the river, the cost of which was $14,000.
The widows of our colored soldiers and
sailors who have already applied for the ad
mission of their children to this institution
i will please have them in readiness by the
i 15th instant, and wtlw nf !• r .
! noueri i\. i/orson, the secretary of the com
mittee, aDd those who are desirous of mak
ing similar applications should at once for
ward their address to the same, at 731 San
sum street, Philadelphia. An agent of the
committee will then call on them at their
homes, in whatever part of the State situa
ted, to assist tbem in making out their pa
i pers, and to conduct the children of all ap
plicants from their homes to the School
| Home, free of expense.
All newspapers in the State not unfriendly
; the orphans of our colored soldiers arc rc-
I quested to publish this notice.
! Mexican Teeling towards Foreigners.
Mexican papers are divided as to the
propriety of miouraging the residence of
foreigners in Mexico. Those who favor
; their ingress, argue that in the United States,
; and all South American republics, foreign
j era receive every encouragement, but that
| in Mexico they are regarded with the jeal
ousy of Japan. No law. elsewhere, prevents
u Mexican from entering into any honorable
pursuit; but ic Mexico laws exist to restrain
and restrict, and sometimes even to prohibit,
| the free exercise of any business by foreign
ners. No mau not a Mexican citizen, for
instance, can become a broker of any des
i cription in Mexico.
It is urged that the present condition of
that couutry is enveloped in gloom. It has
a languishing commerce, the revenues from
which are insufficient for the daily expenses
i of government; its citizens are impoverished
I by dessensions, and nearly all internal itn
provements ate at a stand, forcing the popu
, latiou to rob upon the highways. The mines
are but partially worked , the agricultural
districts almost deserted, foreign residents
I sending from the country every surplus dol
lar, dissatisfaction pervading all classes, and
I the hydra of revolution raising its head in
! evep- quarter. Disintegration and final
annihilation are prophesied as the result fo
such an existence, unless good willis shown
i and every facility afforded to settlers. Above
j all, the hand of the United States should
| be grasped in frankness and cordiality.
GENERAL GRANT'S letter of acceptance,
.which just now is the target of Democratic
abuse, ridicule, aud carping, calls strongly
i to mind some of the homely papers of Pres
j ident Lincoln, whose publication was always
a signal for a general bark from the whiffet
i press and small-dog politicians of the Op
position. Now, those unaffected messages
J and letters are classic—wept over by patri
ots and studied by statesmen. Almost
every one will recall the storm of derision,
raillery, and satire which greeted the last
message of our martyred President—the
smart sayings of disaffected triflers, the
| burlesque and travesty of the party and
i press who, through all the terrible years
of struggle aud trial, had not one earnest
word for their country. As month after
month rolled by, and the men and motives
of the hour were revealedin their true light,
the wonderful power and oppositeness oi
that production became manifest to even
the unreflecting. So it will be with the
letter of General Grant. Those who do
not understand it will save their own credit
by refraining from comment. The pre
sumption is they do not understand the
times. This letter we like the oftener we
read it. Its plain sentences comutcnd them
selves and their writer. They are the hon
est wordsof an honest man, and will hold
their gronnd against any mode of assault
whieh Democracy or dilcttant disloyalty
have yet attempted.— l'ress.
W I LIT AM 1). KELLEY, who has so long
represented the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, seems to have no opposition that will
impair his prospects for re-nomination.
Kelley is one of those men who should be
kept in Congress as long as he is willing to
serve, for the reason that his representation
gives tone and reflects credit on the entire
country. Bold, energetic, able, patriotic,
and determined for the right, William D.
Kelley is a man in whose acts it is safe to
place oon fidenee.
IT has leaked out in Washington, that Mr.
Johnson intends to encourage the getting
up of a statement showing that Mr. Stanton
has mutilated the records of the War De
partment, the object being to create the- im
pression that he (Stanton), while Secretary',
was engaged in dishonest work. We do
not doubt that the mau who winked at the
assassination of Lincoln will plot to ruin the
character of Stanton.

A PARTY in Washington who lias been
sending out circulars, demanding funds from
Federal oflice-bolders, to secure the influence
of the "National Managing Committee" in
order that they may retain their positions,
has been arrested for fraud.
THE Rebel Admiral Semmes aud his broth
er, who are practising law in Mobile, recently
asked the Secretary of the Treasury to for
ward them a copy of a certain document which
they proposed to use in defending a client who
was indicted for selling lottery tickets. Mr.
McCulloch refused and the Semmes Brothers
have written him another letter asserting their
right as citizens to the paper in question, and
making a peremptory demand for it.
As advise of from two to five per cent, has
taken place in Government securities since
the Chicago nominations were made. This
indicates pretty clearly a conviction on the
party of the public not only that Grant and
Colfax will be elected, but that the resolution
in the platform in which they havegivin their
adherence respecting the public debt assures
its payment in good faith, and according to
the terms of the contract.
THERE is too much reading done for
amusement and not enough for instruction.
If the American people devoted one-third
the time they now waste in perusing flash
literature to reading works of instruction,
examining subjects of importance in science,
the mass of OUT fellow-citizcns would be the
best informed people that ever lived.
GEN. BUCHANAN, Hancock's successor in
Louisiana, has ordered the arrest of the
President of the Board of Registration in
that State. The Board of Registratiou claimed
to exercise certain powers devolved upon
them by the Constitutional Convention, which
Buchanan decided they should not do. and
hence the arrest. Oeneral Buchanan is
following oat General Hancock's policy of
opposition to the Reconstruction laws, and
the Board of Registration was endeavoring to
enforce it.
GEN. SHERIDAN - , in a letter to Grant, under
date 22d of May, thns incidentally speaks ol
the Indian quistion in the section over which
he is placed. "I have no had n single
depredation in my departmen since 1
assumed command, and I have the greatest
desire to matain this peaceful condition
of atfairs. 1 have made a great deal ol
personal exertion by visiting nearly every
post in this section of country in which the
Indians were hostile last year, and in all in
terviews with the Indians was led to believe
that we may be able to preserve the peace the
comming summer."
THE Democracy daily exhibit the uttei
abandoned condition of their situation. The
party is in a bad fix generally. It has no
popular issues—no great ends or ideas in
sympathy and unison with which beats the
popular heart—and, as a sure sequence, il
has no great men—no leaders of the people.
This is why they wish to appropriate Chiel
Justice Chase.
GRANT makes a solemn declaration on, em
bodying a pledge, at the conclusion of hit
letter accepting the Republican nomination
for President: "I ALWAYS HAVE KESPECTEI
THE WILL OS' THE PEOPLE, AND I ALWAYS
SHALL." A man imbued with such a sentiment
is one best fitted to serve a great people. Il
is the spirit in which all American statesmet
and soldiers must act, for in this country th<
masses rule, and those who are called to direc'
the Government are merely elevated t<
execute the will of the people.
IN the united States Senate on Saturday
Mr. TrumbuP, from the conference commit
tee 011 the disagreeing votes of the two house:
on the bill to admit Arkanas to reproentatior
in Congress, passed. The committee's report
was in substance the bill as at originally pas
sed the House of Representatives, with i
proviso allowing the State to change its Con
stitution as respects the time of residence
&c., necessary _ for voters, but to make nc
change in the provisions prohibiting th
disfranchisement of persous on uccount o
race or color.
A VERY subtle and terrible fatal disease i:
now raging among the cattle in some portion:
of Illinois. Over one hundred head have
fallen victims to it within the past few d ays
It usually kills in a few hours. Xo premotoni
ry warnings are given, and although all the
skill in possession of ordinary practitiouert
has been brought fo bear upon it, it yields tc
no remedy or treatment, and is fatal in every
instance. Its name and nature have not yel
been determined.
Mr. ASHLKT of Ohio introduced into th<
House a resolution to amend the Constitu
tion so as to prevent the re-election of Presi
dent, abolish the office of the Vice President,
and provide a more satisiactory method o
general election. The speech with which h
supported his resolution indicates a thorougli
study of this subject, and the urguments,
though new, have a force which attracts, if i'
does not convince. As a matter of publit
policy the one-term principle is right.
THE Washington Daily Republican is the
only Republican paper in the United State:
that has adhered to the political fortunes o:
President Johnson. It has been one of hit
acknowledged organs at the Xational Capitol.
But the nominations of the Chicago Conven
tion have proved too much for it. That sheet
on Saturday morning last, came out with the
names of Grant and Colfax at the masthead,
and a strong editorial emphatically endorsing
the Chicago platform and candidates, closing
with the remark that li it is only necessary
that we now say, in conclusion, that we ap
prove the platform, and shall devote all our
energies to secure the election of the candi
dates."
Tilt Copperheads hare called a "Conserva
tive" Soldiers' and Sailors' National Conven
tion tomeetat New York on the 4th of July, to
take action on the nomination of "Conserva
tive, , candidates for President and Vice
President. "Conservative" Soldiers! —tr.en
whose hearts daring the war were on the
Reble side! It was precisely this class of
"soldiers" to which the Rebs. were mainly
indebted for every victory they achieved.
THE California Farmer affirms that the
Golden State "can beat all the other States,
and in silk culture, and China and
Japan besides. The bugbear about the cost
of labor is nothing, (or our expense in
feeding is only one-quarter or one-fifth of
any other place in the world, and we need no
material cost or care for sheltering the worms
from storms or damps. Everything is in our
favor, and in less than five years we will ex
port from this State to our friends East such
manufactured products as shall astonish them.
We can and will succeed in this great en
terprise."
winrriEK TO COLFAX.
Colfax ! —well chosen to preside
O'er Freedom's Congress, and to guide,
As one who holds the reins of fate,
The current ot its great debate;
Prompted by one too wise and good,
And Fair, withal, to be withstood,
Here, from our Northern river banks,
I send to thee my hearty thanks
For all the patience which has borne
The weary toot of Bunkum's horn,
The hissing of the Copperhead,
And lolly dropping words of lead!
Still wisely ready when the scale
Hangs poised to make the right prevail;
Still foremost, though Secession's bead
Be crushed, with scornful heel to tread
The life out from its writhing tail!
As wise, (irtn, faithful to the end
God help thee, prays thy sincere friend,
JOHN G. WHITTIER.
MARRIED WORSE, are those of them rather,
who own property in their own right, seem
to be a perpetual source of trouble to the
courts of Pennsylvania. Every term they do
something which calls for fresh judicial inter
position, and ten years of heavy labor have
not euahled our judges to explain to a woman
what she can do and what she may not. It
has just been decided that a married woman
may not sell stock without her husband's
consent, although his signature as a witness
on the certificate of transfer has been ruled
to as evidence of assent. This ruling shuts
the doors of the exchange and gold hoard to
the sex.
THE Dayton Ledqer, Vallandigham's organ,
thus disposes of the claims of several as
pirants to the Democratic nominations: —
"'Doolittle' is spoken of a 'Democratic'
candidate for the Presidency! Doolittle!
'Hah for Doolittle! No. For all Eueh can
didates we should do-little, in fact we could
do-little, if we were to try. Why not Van
Winkle? We think we might van vinkle a
little, if hard run. At least we could 'rip.'
Or any other of the 'seven traitors,' seeing
that we are a traitor ourself. Andy Johnson
and Frank Blair, too, are spoken of! Who
next? Who next? No, gentlemen, excuse
us. If so hard pressed for material as "to be
forced outside of the Democratic party for a
candidate, we are for Chase. If there is to
be 'bargain,' let there be a consideration.'
If there is to be a 'sale' let ns have 'value
received,' even if paid in 'greenbacks.' If
fcr Jack of brains we arecompelled to fall back
on an 'outsider,' let us see to it that we get
brains.

Farmers will please look at the great advantage
in Thrashing Grain with
GEISERS' PATENT SELF-REGULA
TING GRAIN SEPARATOR,
CLEANER AND BAGGER.
With the latest Improved Tripp'e-Geared Horse
Power, driven either by Gear or Belt.
No. 1 is a eight-horse power, with cast iron '
thresher frame and wrought iron and wood cjlin- :
der, sixteen inches in diameter and thirty-three
inches long. Trunk has ten inch rake crank and
seven rakes is thirty-five inches wide, and deliv
ers the straw on the second rake, these carry the
straw out on their tops, and deliver it on the
stack or. which will deliver about thirty five feet
beyond the feeder, on a stack fifteen to eighteen
feet high, and can be easily managed to carry
the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa
rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed,
to confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi
culties in cleaning grain against windy weather.
It bag? the grain by reasonable management, suf
ficiently clean for market, aud its capacity, under
ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty
bushels per hour, using eight horses and the same
number of hands; but to force the work under
favorable circumstance, it will tbresh from forty
to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and
agrceablencss to hands than any other machine
now in common use.
'I bo No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's
use: in intending to apply to any common lever
or railway powqj weigh? 1,300 pounds: baa an
j iron thresher? frame, ami cylinder. inches in
diameter and 28 inches long: delivers the clean
grain in bags, or if desired, in a half bushel. It
delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder, or
if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff togeth
| er: will thresh and clean, in good grain, ready for
marker, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from
300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using four or
| six horses, and the same number of hands: but to
| force the work, under most favorable circum
stances, good grain. Ac., will thresh and clean
considerable more. The Machine will thresh and
1 clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with
the common machine, and requires no more horse
power, but in many cases does not run so
j hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail
way power.
Now here i* what the Farmer and thresherman
wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
. thrash grain, with more satisfaction than any
j other separator now in use, and why is it? Be
cause this separator has a self regulating Blast,
which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff,
and also has a self regulating feeder to feed the
j cleaner and it has rollers and combs in the clean
er which prevents it from choaking. Why does
i this machine run so light, and give so little trou
j ble? Beer use there is less friction in the Joui
: rials, and the rake? and fan arc geared so that you
j have no trouble with Belt* breaking and slipping,
causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why docs it
| clean against the wind? Because the blast has
direct action on the grain and the cleaner is so
i well arranged that the wind has no chance to
j drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built
permanently on two wheels and the frout car
riage separate, ready to attach when necessary?
' Because it is more convenient in the barn without
; the front carriage. You can turn the machine or
run it from place to place more easily. Why has
it not got Elevators like some other machines?
Because the Elevators carry the fitth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually go
into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know,
that filth should be kept separate for feed, Ac.,
we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings
from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex
pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa
tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about
than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Sides
are closed up to prevent the wheat ehafl and dust
from coming out and scattering over the floor,
causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt
aud soie eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get
more work with these separators than they do
with others? Because this separator has all these
advantages and many more, which makes it n
separator suitable and a paying one for all
farmers and Thrashermen that have grain to
thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit
themselves to the machine, because the machioe
will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this
is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and
most agreeable to work about and the only separ
ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently
clean for market under all circumstances.
Farmers can rest assured that this machine is
no humbug, and judging from the high recom
mendation of farmers that are using them, we
must come to the conclusion that it is the very
Machine that farmers want and will have as soon
os they have an opportunity to appreciate and
attest its merits, for which we hope they will give
us an opportunity, as wo are willing to bo respon
sible if it does not perform as represented in ihi?
