TlioNortli Carolina election lms had
tho effect of opening tho eyes of a fow of
tlio moro sonslblo, and far-seeing of tho
Radical press and leaders at tho Tsortli.
While they had no leisure beforo tho
recent election in tho tho old North
State, to donouueo that spawn of tho
dovll, Holden, and his hired. cut-throat
mid assassin Kirk, they have, slnco that
time, become fully impressed with tho
necessity of a chango in tactics as ap
plied to tho "reconstruction" 'of tho
South. Among that class, beginning
to discern tho Inevltablo doom of radi
calism, and manifesting a dcslro to cs
capo tho retribution certain to bo visit
ed upon tho Thugs who havo fattened
upon tho spoil of an oppressed and vas
sallzed people, is tho New York Times.
In a recent issuo It llnds occasion to
uso tho following pointed nud truthful
languagolnroforenco to tho design of
Itolden to force civil war and Its atten
dant horrors upon tho pcoplo of
North Carolina. Tho SVwirssays:
"Tho tono and tactics of Gov. IIol
" den's organ, tho Italelgh Standard,
"aro simply infamous. If its purposo
"were to provoko civil war, it could
" not bo conducted differently. Itofer
" ring to Judgo Brooks' issue of a writ
" of habeas corpus in behalf of some of
" tho prisoners whom Ilolden's man,
' Kirk, keeps in military custody,
" without other warrant than tho Gov
" crnor's arbitrary will, tho Standard
" uses this language :
"Is Judge Brooks ready to lnvolvo the people
of North Carolina In civil war? Does ho sup
poso Governor Itolden will recede beforo him t
The Governor will not recede until tho
Federalnrmy Is used against him; and tho Fed'
cral Anny vHll not be used against him. Wo are
on tho eve of civil war. and .when It begins all
the blood and all the horrors of It will be on tho
skirls of Judge Brooks.'
"Wo suspect that Ilolden's deslro is
" to provoko tho stato of things ho pro
" tends to deplore. Having enabled
" tho Democrats to secure a triumph in
" the lato election, he would now pro
" clpltato tho Stato in civil war that ho
" may obtain pretexts forinvoklng Con
" gressional interference. Should troub
"le como as tho result of Holdcn'a im
" pudent attempt to set himself nbovo
" tholaw, tho country will hold that ho
'.'and ho alone, is responsible for it.
"Tho Republican party can not too
"soon or too emphatically repudiato
"both tho man and his doings."
The Times may well exclaim against
tho enormities practiced and still threat
ened by Grant's pimp and pet, and it
may well say that "Tho Republican
" party cannot too soon or too emphat
ically repudiato both tho man and
"ids doings." Tho Times may as well
bear the fact in mind that Ilolden's
deviltry was nil concocted by and with
tho consent of Grant, who furnished
him United States troops to aid in tho
hanging, torturing and murdering ot
Democrats, and to bo consistent, it
might as well begin tho repudiating
procoss with tho rcsponsiblo head. Ma
king scapo-goats of Holden and Kirk,
will hardly satisfy tho pcoplojust-now
Thoy proposo to go to tho root of tho
evil, and thoy aro neither so blind or
stupid as not tocomprehend that Grant,
his administration, alders, backers and
abettors aro directly and altogether rc
sponsiblo for tho outrages, murders,
rapes and arsons committed by Holden
and Kirk, by nnd with his connivanco
and consent.
"Seciietaiiy Belknap lias sottled
tho West Point difficulty concerning
tho treatment of tho colored cadet Smith
and it is to bo hoped thoro novcr will bo
another occasion for an investigation
like thatjust closed. l'rcss.
No ono would get njust conception of
what was tho settlement of tho West
Point difficulty from the very mild re
marks of tho Press quoted above. Tho
facts in this caso aro as follows : Tho
board appointed to examine into the
111 treatment of tho negro cadet, as al
leged by him, havo not only found tho
charges to bo false, but havo recom
mended that ho bo court martlalcd.and
that Is what tho Press calls Sce.Belknap's
settlement of tho difficulty. Wo Join
with tho Press in tho hope that "there
will never bo another occasion for an
investigation llko thatjust closed," not
that wo caro particularly for thecomlng
to grief of ono of tho pet black Jambs
of tho Radical flock, but becauso wo
hope tho experiment of negro cadets
will not bo repeated.
Already wo havo had Lawrence, of
Ohio, and Cessna, of Pennsylvania, de
claring that tho act to admit Georgia to
representation, passed in tho last hours
of tho lato session, does not allow of an
oloctiop for, representatives in that Stato
this fall, and now wo havo Ben Butler,
in a letter, under date of tho 20th ult,
to his "dear Governor Bullock," an
nounclog that "I am clearly of opinion
" that tho construction of tho act will
not require any election to bo held in
"Georgia until tho Legislature chooses
" to havo ono. " Tills is n queer sort of
act to rostoro tho Union ; and when tho
nrgument is mado on tho stump in this
canvas that tho Radical party lias
wound up tho glorious work of recon
Btructlon by admitting Georgia to rep
rosontation, it is n good Democratic

Tho Radical Convention.
On last Monday afternoon tho citizens
of Illoomsburg were startled at hearing
tho ringing of tho Court IIouso bell,
but subsequent Inquiry dovcloped tho
fact that a. Republican Convention was
about to bo held. Although tho matter
had been duly advertised, It was a pro
found secret to ulna out of ten of tho
Republicans of tho County. In fact
sonio townships wcro unrepresented,
nnd tho most of thoso that were, was
through self constituted delegates. In
threo-fourth.3 of tho townships no dele
gato elections wcro held. No creden
tials wcro demanded or handed in.
Ono dclcgato had his ready, however,
made out and slguod by himself. Ho
lives near Rupert.
Wo did not havo much difficulty In
squeezing our way into tho Court IIouso.
Our venerable friend of tho llepublioan
nftcr waiting an unusual length of tlmo
for tho nrrlval of tho Conyngham dele
gates who didn't como borrowed n
cigar from ono delegate and n match
from another, nnd In a brief speech
called tho Convention to order.
A PRESIDENT.
According to programme, John Hart
man of Hemlock was mado President
of tho Convention. Now John was
President last year, but his second ele
vation was duo to tho fact that ho did
not ngrco to tho "Ring" programme,
and ho was placed In tho chair to keep
him out of mischief. As a subscriber
of tho Jlepublican ho read Rradlcy's
editorial, insisting on tho nomination
of a full ticket, and as n hard working
Republican ho believed himself entitled
to tho nomination for Sheriff or Jury
Commissioner, but Bradley hail "been
seen ;" tho "ring" and Catawissa fra
ternized, and John was sacrificed.
THE ROLL CALL.
Tho list of Delegates was duly called
and showed the Convention to bo com
posed mainly of tho samo men who
have set thero for years. Wo acknowl
edge that they had a number of men
of might; for example, friend Scatter
good of Wiuterstcen's Township, M.
M. Rrobst, Mattio Monroe, Parvin
Eves, Esq. McAnail and Esq. Morris.
Tin: iiread and nuTTnn reioade.
Tho leading spirits of tho Convention
(besides thoso retailed by Rrown) of
courso wcro'tho office-holders and ex-ofllco-holdcrs,
nnd their relations.
Among them may bo named Ring Mas
ter Kuorr, Assessor of Internal Revo
nuo ; Mattio Monroe, son of an ex-Assessor
of Internal Rovenuej Walton,
(Johnsonian when it paid) Ex-Asst.-Asscssor,
Ex-Watchman of Miller's
Whiskey, Ac; McAnail, Justice of tho
Peace ; Morris, J. P. and Census taker ;
Conner, Census man j Ilayman, son of
tho Jury Commissioner and Census
Marshal; Crown, Post Master; 'Price,
Post Master; Johuson, Post Master;
Vastinc, Post Master; Kestcr, Ex
Judgo ; R. Whitnioycr, ex-U. S. Store
Keeper; Harrnan, Post Master; Hen-
cock, Post Master; McColIum, Assist
ant Assessor, Co-operative Society man,
nnd heavy voter at festivals; and Stiles,
Ex-U. S. Store Keeper, Asst. Assessor
U. S. Revenue, and onco bolting candi
date for Sheriff.
INSIDE THE DAK.
Mr. Abbott.Ex-Candidato for District
Attorney and a possibles ono for tho
Legislature, then had Captain Conner
and Harry James appointed Secretaries,
and thoy took a seat at tho tablo and
saw Bradley fix up an account of tho
proceedings. Captain Wlutmoycr then
whispered in Abbott's oar, after which
ho suggested that all tho delegates
"should get insido tho bar." Several
post-masters aro reported to havo gono
at onco to Brown's Hotel nnd forgot to
return.
LEGISLATIVE, &.V.
At this point, tho U. S. Assessor, J.
P. Conner, Prank Stewart, and Harry
James wero appointed Congressional
Conferees, and for fear that they might
support Robiaon, thoy wcro instructed
for Mercnr. Then tho U. S. Assessor
had Mattio Monroo and J. Guilds np
pointed Legislativo Conferees with in
structions to put "Catawissa's favorito
son" Abbott in nomination,thus giv
ing a check to tho Anncko Jans candi
date in Montour.
MUTUAL ADMIRATION.
Monroe, and Abbott, and Kuorr, and
James, having each got somothing, tho
latter in accordance with tho laid out
programme named our Post Master and
several other olllco holders as n Stand
ing Committee.
MINORITY REPRESENTATION
Knorr then madoa speech in favor of
tho Democratic princlplo of minority
representation, and had a resolution
unanimously adopted to send Whit
moyor to a " Minority Stato Conven
tion ;" that is, wo suppose, a Conven
tion in which tho majority do not rulo,
Of courso tho " Majority Stato Conven
tion " will bo a separate affair.
JURY COMMISSIONER.
Abbott then secured McAnall's nom
ination for Jury Commissioner. It is
true John Is an Irishman, and a Justico
of tho Peace, but ns Berwick and Cata
wissa aro tho only Radical strongholds
in tho county, it was thought advisable
to throw tho party nominations Into
thoso two districts. As usual, only two
or three delegates voted, but tho num
ber was sufficient.
RESOLUTIONS.
Walton having been silent up to this
point, now moved that a commltteo of
two bo appointed to draft resolutions,
On account of his well known modesty
no tuu not ucslro to bo Chairman of tho
commltteo, to which position ho was en-
titled by Parliamentary usage, nud
ho therefore moved fortho appointment
onno u.;s. Assessor, and M. M, Brobst;
carried. Tho Captain then whispered
10 uioLioutonutit-Coloncl and then sta
ted that it was hardly necessary to with
draw, as tho U. 8. Assessor iiad tho
resolutions "cut and dried" in his coat
tall pocket. Thoy wcro read, nnd tho
Ulliereut Post Masters and Rovcnuo
officials voted for them.
A FLANK MOVEMENT.
Up to this point ovorythlng had been
understood. But Stiles, Assistant As
sessor, now moved that further nomi
nations bo omitted. This stirred tho
mighty soul of Hemlock's champion.
Ho saw that ho was sold, but was pow
erless to help himself. Tho motion car
ried, nnd Bradley's eloqueuco In favor
of nominating n full ticket was lost.
SOMETHING FORGOTTEN,
Amotion was now mado to adjourn,
but friend Scattergood thought somo
thing had been forgotten. As a loyal
man (although not a fighting ono) ho
wanted homo ludustry protected. There-
forothoroshouldbonresolutlos In favor
of n tariff on coal, Iron, leather, Ac. And
now cauio n crisis. A tariff resolution
was a dlgntMcrcur's frco-tradclsm, and
would hurt him In Bradford I Bradley,
Knorr, nnd others again whispered to
gether Hartman got rostlve and final
ly n meaningless resolution was adopted
which, as It now ro.nU docs not Instruct
Mcrcuron this subject, bains general
and Indefinite.
Tho Convention then adjourned to
Brown's Hotel, except ncouploof del
egates who called at tho Jlepublican
offico to aniKiunco their names 03 inde
pendent candidates. A few others
sworo that tho "Illoomsburg Ring"
controlled tho Republican ns well as tho
Democratic parly, and that It should bo
purged of some of its rotten leaders.
Who aro Entitled to Bounty and
Pensions.
It will bo observed that tho following
aro tho old bounties, moitof which wero

Iict Us ZZavo a Chnnpo in Congress.
At tho closo of tho last session of
Congress nu almost universal cry of
congratulation went up from tho press
of tho country becnuso It had ndjourn
cd. It was not tho Democratic nows
paper? which wore most emphatic In
their charges of Incapacity nnd corrup
tion. Independent Journals, such as tho
Philadelphia Ledger, spoko out much
moro strongly than thoy nro wont to do
and wo do not know n paper of that
class In tho land which had n good word
to say on tho departure of tho Congress
men for their homos. Very many of
tho strongest manifestations of popular
discontent with Congrcs3 camo from
RcpubllcJii Journals. Somo of theso
remained silent from party subserviency
but nlnrgo number of tho best establish
ed and most prominent Radical news
papers In tho country expressed their
gratification nt tho adjournment, and
congratulated tho pooplo upon tho fact
that there w.u to bo n short cessation of
tho evil nnd costly legislation which
marked tho I.ist session of Congress.
Republican newspapers freely charged
that tho legislation had was almost ex
clusively in tho iutcrest of favored
classes, that tho Interests of tho country
wcro neglected for prlvnto schemes,
that special legislation occupied nearly
nil tho time of tho members, that tho
appropriation bills wero crowded with
jobbery, Ac, Ac. So generally was this
tho tono of tho Roitnbllcan press ns to
bo noticeably tho rulo rather than tho
exception.
Never beforo In this country was
any Congress so freely assailed by tho
newspapers of tho party which held
tho majority. That is n very signifi
cant fact when wo remember that tho
Republican majority is entirely respon
sible for nil that was dono or left un
done. Tho Democratic minority In
both the IIouso and tho Senate was so
small that they could not niako their
opposition to obnoxious and improper
measures effective. Occasionally they
resorted to what is known as "filibus
tering" in tho House, but by that pro
cess they could only delay tho pas
sage of a bill for a littlo whllo. In tho
end the Radical majority always had
their way. During tho last hours of tho
scsilon, when an objection to a bill was
fatal, Hon. Samuel J. Randall, and a
fow other Democrats, who wcro skilled
in parliamentary usage, took their
stand in front of tho Speaker's desk,
and by the peremptory declaration, "I
object," slopped tho passago of many
schemes of robbery, which would havo
cost a tax ridden people immenso sums
of money if thoy had boon allowed to
go through.
Throughout tho session tho Demo
cratic members offered amendments to
bills which would havo mado them
greatly better, but almost Invariably
theso amendments were summarily
voted down, Tho Democratic members
acquitted themselves creditably at tho
last session, and thoy showed an hon
esty of purposo, and an Integrity of
character which should commend most
of them totheir constituents for re-election.
It is not so with very many of tho
Republicans. A majority of them
wcro connected with paying jobs, and
few of them havo been ablo to go back
to their peoplo with n creditable recotd.
Public opinion seems to havo weighed
many of them correctly, nnd numbers
of them havo voluntarily nnnounccd
their intention to retire, whllo others
havo been refused a rcnomination. In
somo districts old members havo forced
themselves upon tho Radical ticket on
ly to bo defeated. Thero nro sovoral
such hi this State. Somo two or thrco
havo a faint hopo that thoy may pull
through in closo districts by aid of tho
negro vote, but they will find them
selves mistaken.
Tho Democratic party has always
been unalterably opposed to all that
kind of legislation out of which tho
gross evils complained of in Congress
havo grown. It abhors class legislation,
and has always been thofoo of jobbery
and corruption. To it individuals aro
nothing in comparison with principle,
It does not hesitnto to excommunicato
any ono who may violato tho funda
mental principles upon which tho or
ganization is based. What this country
most needs now is n chango in Con
gress. Wo want honest men sent to
Washington to tako the placo of rogues,
capablo men to occupy tho seats of In
competent members. Tho elections
which havo already taken placo show
that tho peoplo aro determined tomako
a change. Tho noxt House may bo
Democratic. If it U not so, tho Radical
majority will bo so reduced ns to Insure
better, wiser, moro honest, and moro
economical legislation than wo havo
had. Tho best thing that could now
ha ppen this country would bo tho ro-
turn of a majority of Democrats to tho
next Congress. Lancaster Intelligencer,

Bloomsduuo, Aug. 11, 1870.
There nro few who havo not felt tho
charms of music and acknowledged Its
expressions to bo Intcllii'lblo to tho
heart. It is n Innguago that is far moro
eloquent than words. A violin or a
piano Is not less needed to sootho tho
milled spirit of a company than tho
harp of David was to calm down tho
fiend In tho turbulent breast of Saul.
Music is n languaco dlrecled to tho nas-
slons, it causes tho rudest passions to
put on now nature, nud becomo pleas
ing In harmony. Music.by nil nations,
Is used as nn nntldoto to tho sense of
danger ns well as a stimulus to tho pas
sions of combat. And as tho veteran
warriors movo with measured tramp to
tho field of death, music Is tho ma'Io
that charms away fear or calls up cour
age. Its harmony Is always understood
by tho masses, Its lancrunL'o thn samo In
all countries. A benlson. therefore, on
all musicians, bo they amateur, hired,

ilcatlon, and aro content with anything
wo choso to throw them, from tho tenth
ofu dluio to tho fourth of a dollar. But
my themo Is not nn analysis of music,
nor nn eulogy of tho organ grinder of
foreign climes. But simply nn appeal,

ner, to tho nhilnntbroDlc musln invim

ty of such being tho caso. Composed
of worklngmen whoso only incomo is
their dally labor, thoy are hardly nblo
to meet tho neeeasary expenses attend
ing tho proper management of a Band.
Music costs from 2 to $." per tune,
lights nnd fuel from $15 to $20 per year.
Room rent, (thanks to tho liborniiiy
of Rcscuo Fire Co. nnd Messrs. Fox A
Webb.) has been nothing for tho past
year. With theso minor expenses they
feel nblo to cope. Therefore, tho object
of this appeal Is tho raising of a proper
stipend for their present leader. Mr.
John Fuge, a man of rare musical cul
ture, tempcr.uo In his habits and gen
tlemanly In his conduct, Is well worthy
of tho position ho occupies, and wo
hopo that by tho liberality of tho ap
preciative part of tho citizens wo may
bo ablo to keep him In his present po
sition. Tho siibstanco of our appeal,
then, Is, Mr. Fugo Is a poor man, his
work Is nbout threo miles from town.
Ills expenses, If living near his work,
would bo nbout $75.00 less (per year),
than they nro at present, living In town.
This amount, $75.00 per year, the mem
bers of tho Band ask of tho citizens. 1
hopo their appeal will bo successful.
Don't say, "Well, It don't matter if wo
hnvo a Band or not, it is of no benefit
to me," for Its music is on ccrtnlu oc
casions a luxury, nono would feel will
ing to spare. Rowdyism Is not tho
members' forte; they don't carry nn
assortment of blasphemous expletives
at their tongues' ends. And Instead of
making night hideous with their fiend
ish yells they make It musical with
their melodies; and nmidsl tho roar
and tumult of tho everlasting dollar
hunt, they pour out their pleasant mu
sic llko oil upon the troubled w.tlors,
nnd hnrd featured men in fierce pursuit
of that almighty dollar, pau-jo in tho
chaso and givo attention. Even they
havo somo "soul" for music.
Thoso citizens who feel an interest in
tho Baud will ple.iso pay what they
wish to J. S. Ev.ins, Treasurer of Band,
Citizen.
