Since tlio beginning of Grant's ad

demanding that tho public purso bo
opened to their rapacious grasp, and
tho public pap bo doled out to fill their
empty maws. Is tho country bankrupt,
nro there no manufactures, no com

pies must Infest tho national Capitol
and dlsgraco tho country? This etrug.
glo is not confined entirely to tho poor
and unknown, for in tho list of appli
cants for small offices may bo seen tho
names of some who have achioved at
least a local reputation politicians of
note, ex-Congressmen, all eagerly desi
rous of partaking of tho crumbs which
fall from tho public crib -if no loaf is
vouchsafed theni It seems as if one
half tho nation Is bitten by this insid
ious serpent of placo-huntlng. There
can bo but ouo opinion as to tho result
Which this scramble for plunder must
produco upon tho people; it can but de
grade and demoralize. Certainly some
now system should at.onco bo devised
by which tho advances of the army or
oillee-seekers may bo checked. Jf the
ensuing Congress could so fur divest it
self ol party demands as to enact a law
by which tho present ovll could be aver
ted, it would entitle Itself to tho warm
est thanks of tho entire community
and make for Itself such a placo In the
history of tho country as its immediate
predecessors hayo failed to gain.
General Quant appears to no ad
vantage in Senator Ross' account of
him. Ho seems to bo bringing very
small jealousies into tho administration
of tho government. To havo held office
under Johnson appears to bo enough to
ensure his enmity. Yet ho held ofllco
under Johnson, not only a military of
fice, but tho civil office of ad interim
Secretary of War. Ho has In Kansas,
as In Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,
and elsewhere, turned out gallant sol
diers, who berved with honor through
out the war, and put In tho worst spec
imens of tho class of Hadlcal politi
cians. AVhat Boss 6aysof Kansas is al
so exactly truo of Pennsylvania :
Yet, in tho faco of tho oft. repeated
declaration of tho President, that chan
ges in tho offices of tho country should
ho made only for cause, a portlotvof tho
delegation of that State hud dom.inded,
and tho President has conceded their
summary dismissal, on tho mere charge
of want of fealty to tho Republican
party, which charge, In many instances
those making it know to bo false' and
slanderous. .Nor is this all. Scarcely a
man has been appointed to those posi
tions from the ranks of that great army
of heroes whoso largely represent the
manhoodof thutState,aud who went out
with their lives In their hands, to en
dure hunger and fatigue, and cold aud
heat, that wo might sit hero as the rep
resentatives of a country saved. But
In their stead wo havo appointed over
us skulkers in timo of danger, and oven
notoriously unfit for any public trust.
The Kx-Prcsldentisadvanclugin fils
grand Southern march, ills progress
through Tennessee, from Kuoxvillo to
Nashville and Memphis, shows that ho
still retains his old popularity In that
Statu, and still wields as great a power
ns over over "tho masscss" and on tho
btump. At every station, shouting
crowds gathered to welcome him: nml
vthe dispatches say that at Memphis ho
was mot by a "vast concourse," and
was Obcorjpd through tho streets by tho
minorities anu an "lmmonso numner'
of people in carriages and on horseback
Weliavo no doubt that these scenes will
bo repeated wherover Mr. Johnson may
ehooso to go in tho South. Tho fact Is
tho Southern people regard tho Ex-
Prcsldeut ns their friend aud defender
against a "despotic Congress" lod by
Stevens and Butler; and they consider
that, though ho failed, it was after a
tremendous fight; for them, Jn which
ho himself sacrificed everything. Thoro
is no doubt that ho will bo back in tho
Senate before the close of President
Q rant's term.
There aro 12,000 ofllces, great and
small, In tho gift of tho government
For each of theso ofllces, a Washington

countlngout Dana nnd Greeley, 410,998.
Throwing out tho negroes who voted
for Grant In such Southern States as
were permitted to vote, and about ono
man in five of all who voted for him
aro now asking to bo paid therefor from
the public treasury. Think of the vast
business Interests of tho country, our
laws, our legislation, and everything
concerning the public welfuro, being
confided to a party In which every fifth
man is a beggar for soineposltlon which
will enable him to bo supported at tho

YVImt Next T
CuNintiMt and our Statu Legislature
having adjourned, it N a proper llino
for in to eoiisliler our condition as n
people. Wo licllevo at no previous timo
huvii our liberties been as much cmltui-
gcied as during the past four years nnd
that tho danger Is Ihu greater because
tho people are apathetic, in regard to it.
They seem to have lost their Jealous ha

largo debt of enormous taxation of
national banks and view with eompla
ceneyeach now infraction of our Con

Wo boldly assert that the mongrel
republics of South AmcrU'.i, ndhcro
more closely to their Constitutions than
we dn; ami that them Knot a despotic
government In lOuropn wheru life, lib-
erly and property nro not moro Kccuro
Look at it I
Our Constitution is a dead letter tho
Executive and Judicial departments of
our government havo been Ignored
and entire Stales and parts of States re
duced to (servitude.
r ivo years after tlio close of a war
having for Its object the restoration of
tho Union, Texas, Mississippi and
Virginia nro declared out of tho Union 1
Georgia aud Louisiana, reconstructed
according to tho Hadlcal plan, and full
fledged Slates during tho last Congress
are thrust from our confederation by n
combination moro dlsloynl and moro
effecttvu than rebel armies, becauso tho
people had tlio temerity to vote as their
Consciences dictated.
In South Carolina, Democratic reprc
sentatlves. who count tholr majorities
by thousands, aro compelled to give
way to carpet-baggers, because their
constituents had tho good luck to bo
born black.
In our own State, and clsowheio
through tho "loyal" north, other means
failing, and it becoming necessary to
securo a two-thirds majority, entiro
election districts havo been thrown out
because they cast Democratic miijorl
tics, and on tho absurd pretence that a
few of tho votes aro Illegal.
Congressmen and members of tho
Legislature havo been unseated, and
partisan fury has oven attacked tho Ju
diciary, and swoptentiro Districts away
by a simplo act of thoXcgislaturc.
Negro Suffrage has been forced on tho
Southern States contrary to tho wishes
of their people, nnd in defianco of tho
Federal Constitution ; and, disregard
ing that "higher law" tho Chicago'
Platform which pledged tho Kadlcal
party to leavo tho question of suffrago
for tho "loyal" States to dctermlno,they
aro now trying to force it on an unwll
iing people.
What is the, remedy?
In one way tlio pcoplo could bo
brought to sco.their danger. "Whntgood
to tho party, wo would ask, is a Demo
cratic member of Congress? If none,
let them all resign. They hold their
seats by the mere sufferance of the ma
jority, and when Democrats becomo too
numerous, they nro turned out by dele
gations. If wc nro powerless there
can do no good let our representatives
como home, and tho Hadlcal Jackals for
want of other aliment will consume,
themselves ; and tho responsibility of
all this fraud, and corruption, and mls
government wlll fall upon tho heads of
Its authors, and tho people will hurl
them from power.
And if this falls, If fresh wrongs aro
heaped upon tho people, and if now in
vasions of our rights are attempted, wo
havo tho remedy of our forefathers
when King Charles by tyranny'drovo

nations when their rulers became, cor
rupt or despotic.
With less provocation our fathers re
belled against England. Bead some of
tho counts In that indictment tho

times: '
"They havo refused to pass'laws for
tho accommodation of largo districts of

linquish tlio right of representation in
the Legislature; aright inestimable to
them, and formidable to tyrants only."
"They havo obstructed tho adminis

naturalization of foreigners."
"Thoy havo mado Judges dependent
on their will nlono for tho tenuro of
their ofllces and tho amount and pay

"They havo erected a multltudo of

"They havo kept among us, In times
of peace, standing armies, without tho

"They have affected to render tho

"For depriving us, iu many cases', of

"For taking away our charters, nbol

"For suspending our Legislatures,
and declaring themselves Invested with

NECESSITY OP THIS NARRATIVE.
Having described the, beginning of
tho Invasion, exposed tho pretenses for
It, aud mentioned tho first nrrcsts mado
In tho prosecution of its unholy work,
wo aro brought naturally to tho nnrra
tlon of Its performances after It hecamo
fixed upon our people. Hut beforo pro
ceeding further iu our regular courso,
wo pauso to answer n question, which
may bo inado by sumo candid readers,
or put to us by thoso whom this history
offends. For wo agreo that what wo
havo written, (as well ns what wo shall
wrlto hereafter) on this subject, may bo
Justly regarded as nggrosslvo in tono
and strongly condemnatory of Individ
ual conduct, and that thcro should bo
nmo good reason for Its publication.
We may therefore bo asked, "Why ro
vlvo tho past? Why provoko rcnowed
passion or resentment? Why cntcrup
on nn unnecessary or untimely work ?"
Wo answer, onco for all, that wo tics
crlbo a great crime for which somo de
gree of punishment is to bo inflicted by
public opinion, nnd that justlco de
mands that tho victims of tho Invasion
and our pcoplo generally, should bo de
fended against falsehood and slander.
Besides our review must bo instructive
as It will ndmonlsh us that arbitrary
power Is always selfish, unjust, and op
pressive, nnd that its encroachments
and usurpations aro to bo opposed with
f sleepless vigilance, and steady courage.
And wo havo had distinct proof recent
ly that men amongst us who wcro res.
ponslblo for tho wrongs wo denounce,
aro not nt all penitent in their feelings
or disposed to apologlsofor their mlscon
duct; but, on tho contrary, aro still
heady and Insolent in thoserviso of ovll
Witness tho following nrticlo from tho
7iV;)u4ica)i, (tho Radical organ nowspa
per published nt this plnco,) under dnto
of April 21st.
"Tho Columbian published last
week tho roll of a company from this
county, which served In tho Into "on
pleasantness." Wo notice that a num
ber woro sick and ono died (whether
from gun shot wound received iu tho
lino ofduty, Is not stated.) Wo suggest
tho propriety of making application for
a pension."
This illppaut.malignantnnd indecent
assault upon the living nnd tho dead,
furnishes ample proof that our work is
timely; that tho wicked spirit of perse
cution yet exists in our midst and in
vites rebuke, and that (so far at least as
somo men nro concerned) wo shall pain
no tender sensibilities, entitled to res
pecter consideration, by lifting tho veil
of the past.
But wo proceed without further di
gression, with tho narrative, of occur
rences after tho troops'wero located in
tho county.
TltOOl'3 AT ELECTIONS.
"No body of troops in tho army of
tho United States or of this Common
wealth shall bo present, cither armed
or unaimed, at any placo of election
within this commonwealth during tho
timo of such election : Provided, That
nothing herein contained shall bo so
construed as to prevent any officer or
soldier from exercising tho right of suf
frago iu tho election district to which
ho may belong, If otherwiso qualified
according to law."
(Act, 2nd, July, 1830, Sec. 05 P.Laws,
Oil.)
This is a very plain.law and n very
good ono, intended to securo tho inde
pendence of eloctlons, and it was In full
forco in 1801 at tho timo of tho Invasion;
But it was held in contempt by tho
military power and was rudely broken.
Tho following performances took
placo in tho county :
At tho election cloven soldiers with
arms stood at tho election polls in Cen
tre Township all day.
In Beaver Township n camp of about
sixty sbldlcrs was located within a fow
rods of tho polling place ; and from ten
to fifteen of them stood nt tho polls all
day, tho squads rclloving ono another.
In Mount Pleasant Township from
ten to fifteen soldiers camo upon tho
ground In tho morning beforo tho polls
opened, nnd attended tho voting the
wholo day, armed.
In Flshingcreek Township ten to
twclvo soldiers armed wcro stationed nt
tho polls and other squads within call
at threo different points on tlio road
leading to tho placo of holding the elec
tion. Two men wcro arrested on' tho
election day.
In Hemlock Township cloven soldiers
stood armed, all day at tho polls ; and
somo' part of tho timo twolvo wcro
present.
Iu Benton Township nttho Stato elec
tion nbout fifteen soldiers prowled
around tho election ground all day;
and at tho Presidential election nbout
forty or them wero in tho township,
somo of them attondlng the polls.
In Jackson Township thoro wero
eight or ten In squads of two, who
marched around tho placo of holding
tho election all day, and at tho eloso of
tho election they nil camo into the houso
and demanded the returns. Of course
thoy wero refused.
In Sugarloaf Township at tho Stato
election two armed soldiers wero locat-
cd within half a mllo of election houso
in ono direction two moro within a
quarter of a mllo In nnother two or
moro nt Ezcklcl Colo's and West Creek,
within nmlloand four marched past
tho polls repeatedly during tho day.
And at tho Presidential election six or
eight armed soldiers and an orderly
stood in tho yard of tho houso whoro,
tho election was being held and othors
near by. Iu tho evening they camo and
demanded tho returns, sword in hand.
In Briarcreek Township four soldiers
armed arrived tho night beforo tho No
vember election, and thoy staid about
the grounds all day until tho closlngof
tho polls. Thoy arrested ono man dur
ing tho day.
In Ornngo Township and within tho
village nnd within easy dlstanco of tho
polls thoro wcro a number of soldiers nt
tho October election. Between that
and tho November election an addition
al number arrived, took possession of
tho public school house, then occupied
by a Democratic teacher nnd nbout sov-
cnty pupils, and held it till bo into in
tlio winter, that tho people of tlio
Township wero doprlvcd of tho benefit
of u public schoobfor tho year, This
seizure nnd appropriation of property
and violation of privato right was most
wanton and unprovoked, nnd was insti
gated and applauded by civilians who
had passions to gratify and Interests to
subserve.

was selected as tho proper person to

' Its all right, thcro will bo no Senator
killed this season. Messrs. Spraguo of
Rhodo Island, nnd J. C. Abbottof Now
Hampshire, at present rals-rcpresenting
North Carolina In tho Sonato,nro friends
onco moro. Under tho guldanco of tho
pacific Sumner and Sherman of Ohio,
tho gentlemen havo mutually answered
tho question "Did you blto your thumb
nt mo?" to tho satisfaction of them
selves and friends. Mr. Spraguo having
denounced somo ono as n "puppy," Mr,
Abbott,with a pride of family creditn-
blo to him, felt called on to speak a
plcco and demand satisfaction of somo
kind for tlio allusion; ho had accused,
also, Mr. Spraguo of sneaking out of
tho Senate, a thing which in his present
now-blown renown as a denunciator of
public vico in high places, was moro
than tho Rhodo Island Senator could
bear, nnd yet after all this, behold how

Wo append tho correspondence, "only

Tuo subject of tho above, a step-slstcr of tho
editor of this paper, camo to her dcatu under tlio
most melancholy circumstance;. Shortly alter
breakfast on tlio morning of March 27th, sho
was seized with violent cramp and vomiting, bnt
upon application of a remedy usually given In
such cases, she experienced relief, nnd nothing
serious was thought to be the matter. During tho
two succeeding days, however, she had similar
attacks, and finally took loner bed. A physician
was then called and symptoms of poison dis
covered : but medicine seemed to havo no effect
and after lingering In great pain until Saturday
nlternoon, guo breathed her last,
Tho other members of the family six In num
ber wero similarly attacked between tho 27th
and SOtu, but not so violently, nnd with tho ex
ception of the mother, recovered In a few days,
Her symptoms nro of the same mullguant typo
as wero those of tho deceased, and she Is now In
a very critical condition.
sad feature of tho caso, aud ouo most pain
fill for us to record, Is that tho family ore believed
to have been maliciously poisoned, Kate Ogdon,
a married woman living In tho houso at tho timo
then occupied by threo famtl les has been ar
rested on suspicion, and committed to tho county
Jail. She will probably not have a hearing un.

DO NOT TRIFLE WITH DANGER.
A single spark may kindle a flame that will
consume a city, nnd small aliments neglected
may end In fatal disorders. Bearing this fact In
mind, let tho first symptoms of debility or uer,
vous prostration be met promptly with invigora
ting treatment. Foremost among tho vegetable

to languish, or there Is any reason to suspect
the nulmal Junctions essential tothesustenation
aud purification of tho body are imperfectly per,
formed, thlslnvaluablelnvigorant nudautlseptlc
should at onco be resorted to. Indigestion always
produces weakness of tlio bodily powers. Some
times it happens that Iho appelilodcmauds more
food than tho stomach can digest ; though not
more, perhaps, than Is required to keep up tho
full strength of tho finme. The object, under
such circumstances, Is to Increase the dlgestivo
capacity of tho assimilating organ.so as to mako
it equal to tho duty Imposed upon It by the ap
petite, aud capable oi supplying the building rui
(e rial c Die lyilcm as fast ns it Is required. This
object Is fully accomplished by the uso of tho
Hitters. They tono nnd gently stimulate the
cellular membrane which secretes tho guslrlo
juice aud the result Is that the solvent Is min
gled with the food in sulllclent quantity to con
vert all its nourlahlug particles Into pure and
wholesome clement. If, on the other baud, theie
Js a deficiency of appetite, without any eorres
ponding deficiency of digestive- rower, tho effect
of tho tonlo Is to stimulate a desire for food. Iu
nineteen oases outof twenty, headache, nausea,
nervousness, fainting-fits, spasms, bud, indeed,
most of the casual aches and pains to which hu
