If nny views wo oxpro.si In the Co

without other limitation than that they

orthodox Democratic sentiment. Ex

It cannot havo escaped tho recollec
tion of the reading and listening public
that during tho lat Presidential cam
paign, it was persistently nverred that
General Grant was In no way fitted
for tho olllce of President of tho United
States ; that neither his mental, moral
nor educational standard catno up to tho
rcqiilromcnU of the placo ; that hu had
no political knowlcdgo or experience,
that all his practice In tho public affairs
was merely military, and as a conso
i.uonco his wholo administration of tho
civil affair of tho Government, would
be on that basis and utterly dostructivo
of tho supremacy of tho law.
than two years havo elapsod,
since Grant assumed thoofllco of Presi
dent; and every charge and prophecy
of the Democrats has como true, tho
Republicans themselves being tho
Judges. From tho first day until now,
the wholo course of General Grant has
been a series of moral and political
blunders or meannesses. Tho appoint
uieut to all ofllces, high and low, has
been a new phase of tho "Gift Enter
priso" business; hUdisgrnceful conncc-
tloc with tho "Gold Panic" Is no longer
denied, even by his friends; his Infa
inou.s military interference in elections
is denounced by every decent journal of
ull political creeds In the United SUtes;
liis attempt to cheat private cltlzens.by
a Missouri land grab to his father-in
law I), nt, nud his Impotent tnallco at
being foiled ; his notorious patronage of
the M'GaiTiilrnn claim, in which ho is
bellovi I to bo privately interested; his
dismltsal of Secretary Cox for attempt
lug to protect his clerks from being
blackmailed for political purposes; are
but a row of tho well proven charges
brought against this corrupt, Imnecllo
and horse trooping administration.
If wo were to go into an examination
of tho conduct of our foreign affairs, wo
should And a much similar cataloguo of
crimes and blunders. In every caso in
which it was possible to send a wrong
man, or to do a wrong thing, that man
has been sent and that thing has been
done. Wo have truckled to England,
and then tried to regain valor by bully
ing Cuba; wo have purchased territory
from Russia and tried to steal It from
Spain ; In tho European war the Prcsi
denl has been first neutral, next for
Prussia and now seems to be for France;
while Cuban patriots, women and chil
dren are being butchered, and Irish po
litical prisoners languish In dungeons,
refused tho sympathy and assistance of
the United States Government. Tho
heart sickens at tho recital of tho sins
of omission and commission of this
most detestablo administration, and
well may tho Chicago Republican say
of tho President of Its party :
It has been no uncommon thing for
party organs in the United States toac
cuso Ppresidents of their own party of
party offences, untruth to tho party
principles, or unfaithfulness to their ac
tual or implied pledges in respect to in
dividuals or policy. It is tho common
fate of acceding Vice-Presidents to suf
fer under accusation of party perfidy in
general, accompanied, for tho sake of
emphasis, with suggestions of official
malfeasance. But tho official career of
General Grant presents a case that is
peculiar. He stands charged not so
much with unfaithfulness to his party,
as official misconduct and personal
meanness; and these charges aro ro
well established, so universally believed
and so freely enlarged upon, that the

Judgo Woodward did well to keep

Tho Ring1 at Work.
To the Editor of the Columbian .-Tho
performances of tho combined Radical
and sore-head Ring, particularly" re
ferred to In my last communication,
wmo off at tho April and October elec
tions of tho present year, and ought not
to pasi unnoticed by nny person who
desires to keep up with tho current of
local events, and to understand tho
workings of a corrupt Itlng.
At the April election, when Blooms-
burg was to receivo an organization for
the first time, by tho cholco of local of
ficers, It will bo remembered that Eli-
as Mkndeniiall, a very determined
and activo Radical, was electod Presi
dent of tho Town Council, by a majori
ty of eleven votes over tho Democratic
candidate. Ho was elected by treach
erous votes given by soro-heau mem
bers of the Ring, and holds his placo at
this moment by vlrtuo of tho same.
Though tho number of nominal Demo
crats belonging to tho Hindis but small
yet in a cIomj election district like
DIoomsburg, their votes may turn tho
scale between parties on a majority
voto. Fortunately tho free voto applies
to tho election of most of tho Town of
ficers, and thero Is therefore tho less op
portunity for Ring manipulation of
elections, and for tho trading and trea
cherous men of a party to sell out their
political friends. Iu consequence of
this fact, the regular Democratic nomi
nees for membership in thoTown Coun
cil were all elected. Treachery could
not defeat them under tho plan of fair
and honest voting which was tried at
tho April election for the first time. But
as tho President or the Council was
elected aoparately, under tho old plan
of majority voting, It was possible for
tho nominal Democrats, who belong to
tho Ring, to cheat and betray tho Dem
ocratie party In tho election of that of
ficer.
It may be hero mentioned, that tho
Ring In tho first place, intondod to
sweep all tho town offices, to bo chosen
at that time, by a combination under
tho namo of a "people's ticket;" (to
mislead tho honest citizens ;) taking
good caro however to secure Radical
control in tho now council. Tho moot
ing to carry out this design was called
by a notice printed in tho Ring Organ
Tho Republican Newspaper and tho
"People's Ticket," put in nomination
by it, was composed so as to lnsuro
such control, with Charles R. Pax
ton, a Radical for President of tho
Council, who declining to bo used In
that fashion, his placo was supplied by
tho Ring solectl'ng tho present Radical
Incumbent. Meantime, many good
Democrats who had been at first mis
lead by this movement, stood aloof,
and subsequently catno In and support
ed the regular Democratic ticket, thus
preventing tho predominance and abio
lute control of tho Ring over tho Town
government for tho present year.
So much for tho first show of hands
by tho Ring. A.

XXarrlsburg Correspondence.
IlAttittanuno, Nov. 21, 1870.
Mr. Editor: In my last, I cndcaV'
orcd to cxpo'o ns hrlclly ns possible,
tho corruption which now porvades tho
various branches of tho government
and certain chwei of tho community
Tho first step towards tho correction of
thl demoralizing ovll, will bo to trace
It to Its origin and Us e.uise.
Tho history of all nations teaches,
that corruption follows In tho wako of
wealth and luxury ; and no peoplo, In
tho world, over programed moro rapid
ly In tho accumulation of Individual
and national wealth than tho peoplo of
theso United States. In nddltlon to
this tendency to a relaxation of public
morals, tho discovery of gold, In Cali
fornia, In 1818, gavo a tremendous lm
pulso to speculation : innumerable Rail
Road companies sprang up and applied
to the various Stato Legislatures for
charters, claiming privileges calculated
to alarm tho representatives of tho peo
ple, who, up to that time, had been
taught to vlow tho granting of such
privileges as so much powor taken from
their constituents, to bo conferred upon
associations likely to net from motives
different from thoso having In view tho
greatest good of tho greatest number.
It then became necessary, on tho part
of the Rail Road applicants to over
como theso honest scruples: nnd they
wero not slow to Imitate tho cxamplo
of tho late bank of tho United States,
that proved Itself tho Qrst great corrup
ter, which, by bribes, had debauched
eminent public men from tho straight
path of their official duty.
Tho Impunity with which this traffic
In tho consciences of mon was carried
on by tho Rail Road operators, soon en
couraged other applicants for legislative
favors, to follow their example; and
most Stato Legislatures, as well as Con
gress Itself, became open markets whero
tho most iniquitous laws wero bought
nnd sold, without regard to tho inter
ests of the peoplo or tho character of
the legislators. To this causa wo may,
then ascribe, to n grir.it extent, tho Infa
mous character acquired by our Legis
latures. Tho general dissemination of Rail
Road stock and bonds ; tho individual
Interests of shippers and consIgnces,and
especially free Rail Road passes, dis
tributed to the public press, tho bench,
tho bar, tho clergy, aud to every Indi
vidual exercising any social Influcnco,
effectively closed tho lips which might
otherwise, havo denounced those nefa
rious transactions ; and corruption, un
obstructed pursued Its stealthy way,
until its hideous form finally assumed
nuch vast proportions, that apathy gave
placo to horror and indignation, and
tho public mind roused Itself to realize
tho dangers which now threaten tho
liberties of tho people. In connection
with this branch of my subject it may
further bo remarked that, in thoso
States whero vast rival Rail Road mo
nopolies havo been established, tho
fierco contests of Rdl Road managers
for tho supremacy, havo brought tho
combatants into tho courts, whero tho
Rail Road corruption funds havo been
boought to bear upon tho Judges with
as much apparent success ns thoy form
erly seduced tho recreant representa
tives of tho people. So much for the
demoralizing Influence exercised over
tho government by tho Rail Roads of
the country.
But there is another cause moro fatal
to public virtue, than oven tho bare
faced corrupt practices of Rail Road
operators. Under tho Stato Constitu
tion of 1700, tho peoplo of Pennsylva
nia wero restricted to tho election of
their representatives in Congress and
tho Stato Legislature, thoir Sheriffs and
Coroners, nnd a few other local officers
in which thoy wero immediately Inter
ested. They wero deeply interested in
Stato and Federal legislation and there
fore took good caro to choose proper
men to represent them-in tho Legisla
tures of tno Stato and of tho Union.
Their Judiciary, tho guardluns of their
civil rights and administrators of tho
law, wero, by tho Constitution protect
ed, as much as human Ingenuity could
suggest, from tho taint of partizan in
fluences; and their Executive was in
vested with tho power necessary to up.
hold tho dignity nnd tho sovereignly of
what was then truly called tho Key,
etono State!
But In an evil hour, a fow political
fanatics, aided by tho demagogues of
that day, persuaded tho people, by rais
ing tho deceitful cry of "popular sov
ereignty," to form themselves into n
committeo of tho wholo, In permanent
session, to mnnagonnd control tho Ex
ecutive, Judicial and Representative
branches of tho Stato Government, by
nssumlng tho election of all tho officers
of tho government.
This popular system, which trans
formed every private citizen Into nn
nctlvo politician, to tho detrlmont of his
individual business, soon gavo rlso to a
now class In tho community, who, neg
lecting their legitlmato moms of living
mado politics n trado ; trafficked in of
fices ; formed combinations and rings
and monopolized tho power which tho
amended constitution intended to bo
exercised by tho peoplo I Thus It was,
that tho appointing power, tho faithful
excrclso of which was of sucli vast lm
portanco to tho peoplo, was wrested
from the highest Executlvo officer
known to tho Constitution, acting un
der tho intimate conviction of his high
responsibility, to bo transferred, not to
thepeople, but to an oligarchy of irro
sponsible political hacks who soon pros
tituted thoir opportunity to tho most
selfish purposes nnd tho vilest party
schemes ; and who havo made tho namo
of politician a by word and n term of
common ropronch. So much so, that
thousands upon thousands of honest
respectable men, havo been ecared away
from any further participation In pub
.lie affairs I
Tho truth is, and It must he fearlessly
told, that under tho Constitution of
1837-38 nnd its subsequent amendments
tho peoplo havo proved themsolves In
disposed to accept tho performance of
tho responsible duties Imposed upon
them by that Constitution: and that,
as a consequenco, a combination of po
litic'al knaves usurped tho power which
tho peoplo refused to oxerclso. From
this stato of things, It naturally fol
lowed that tho numerous and ever ro
curriug con filets between political dema
gogues for place, frequently diverted
the attention of tho peoplo from the
great political issues in which they were
really Interested, riveting their attention
to tho inveterate contest! of political
gladiators to the exclusion of thoir own
intercuts, and educating them to consid
er elections more In the light of gener
al free dojf fights' for tbopossecalonofa
teniptliiK bone, than ai conducing In
any way t.u tho public welfare.
The fact Is, that nny unprejudiced ob
server must ndmlt that tho prosont
constitutional) fur ns the pure odmln
Istratlou of tho government Is con
corned, Is a falluro. It asks of tho poo
plo moro of their tlmo and of their at
tentlon to bu dovotcd to public concerns
than their prlvnto Interests or their In.
dividual knowlcdgo of tho characters
of political aspirants, will warrant. Tho
result of this Constitutional experiment
over slnco 1833 has been most calami
tous nnd with other causes heretofore
enumerated, threatens tho utter subver
Hon ol Representatlvo government,
Thero Is but ono road which can load to
safety, tho peoplo must tnko tho back
track. They must roturn to the Exec
utlvo of tho Stato n part at least, of tho
power they havo failed to exorclso with
advantngo to themselves. To this ef
fect thoy must turn n deaf car to tho
volco of tho demagogues who will not
fall to ralso thodeceptlvoeryof popular
sovereignly, that syren song so often
raised to fasclnnto tho peoplo to their
own ruin. More In my next.

Communication.
That Bridge Question.
Mr. Editor : I was pleased to no
tlcoan nrticlo In your Issue of Nov. 18th
under tho tltlo of "tho bridge question,"
in which tho writer sets forth so many
facts and handles tho question so well
that I am loth to differ with him. Hut
in vlow of the Interests of the wholo
county, und having no particular inter
est in any of tho points or locations nam
cd by your correspondent, I am com
polled to tako exception tojocatlng this
much to be desired Improvement at or
near tho Blootnsburg forry : and will
endeavor to show your many intelligent
readers that Espy certainly affords
greater advantages than nny point be
tween Berwick and Catawlssa. Tho
ravlno south ol Espy Is of as easy a
grndo as that of Blootnsburg. After
gaining tho summit you aro moro nc
cesslblo to nil points on tho south side
of tho river than nt tho point opposite
Bloomsburg.
Tho formation of tho bank of tho
river opposite Epy is such as to entire
ly obviato tho necessity of building an
abutment, and no embanltment will bo
required on tho north bank. Tho water
at this point is very shallow, In fact it
will not average moro than 18 inches at
present ; and there is but a very slight
current. In addition to tho nbovo ad
vantages tho bottom of tho river is n
solid rock from shore to shore. Stones
for abutments and piers are close nt
hand. As to the advantages to bo de
rived by tho pooplo on tho south side,
tho first nnd greatest one is to procure
limo for agricultural purposes. Con
verso with nny of the Farmers on tho
question nnd thoy will ngreowlth mo.
Then no ono will deny that Espy is tho
placo.
Wo will howovor suppose tho bridgo
to bo located at Bloomsburg. A farmer
residing between Espy nnd Limo Ridge
on tho opposite side of the river, Is de
sirous of procuring somo lime ; tho po
sition from his placo of residence to
Bloomsburg Is four and n half miles. In
order to cross tho bridgo ho must neces
sarily go down on tho opposite side and
up on this side, which would mako a
distance of nine miles that ho must go
with an empty wagon in order to get a
load of lime. Ho must, in order to re-
cross tho bridge, go tho sarao route, and
therefore tho distanco that ho must
travel will bo eighteen miles. In caso
it wero located at Espy tho distanco that
ho would travel would bo but threo
miles.
There is no inconvenience whatever
to tho citizens on the opposito sido bo
low Bloomsburg In having tho bridge at
Espy, as thoy could como up on tho op
posito sido of tho river, croas and get to
tho limo kilns without getting off tho
route.
Espy is tho principal grain market in
this county, nud as to the lumber trado
there is more business than at all tho
points named in tho article of your cor
respondent. As to tho citizens on the
nor tk side, what thoy stand most in
need of is iv short, easy and direct route
to tho Lehigh coal fields, and when wo
como to cxamino tho matter in this
light Espy certainly has no rival, nsn
glanco at tho inap will show. And an
Improvement in which all of tho peoplo
are so directly interested should ovi
dently bo located at tho most conven
ient an d desirable point.

Colonel FisitEH was tented nt his

Tho Commissioner having completed
a paper ho was endorsing, turned to tho

Colonel Fisher Good morning, Mr.
Stranger Good morning, Mr. Com

Colonel Fisher Ah,

Colonel Fisher Indeed I
Mr. Dent Yes, sir. And I am nn
applicant for tho position of Principal
Examiner.
Colonel Fisher As I understand It,
sir, tho position of Principal Examiner
is not open for appointment. It is 'a
placo that a man cannot fill without
previous training and considerable ex
porlenco in other departments of tho
office.
Mr. Dent But I can nssuro you, sir,
that I um fully qualified for tho place
I may say peculiarly qualified for It;
and 1 must bo allowed to add, sir, In
somo respects, quite as well. If not hot

even if it wero vacant, it should bo fill

Mr. Dent As to my qualifications,
sir, I repeat they are all Hint can bo

Colonol Fisher That is poslbly truo
sir ; but thero is no vacancy of tho kind

Inership shortly.
Mr. Dent How much does that pay?
Colonel Fisher Sixteen hundred dol

Would n letter from General Dent do,

Colonel Fisher A letter from Gencr

Mr. Dent Then what ?
Colonel Fisher Then, when thero
was a vacancy In the placo you want,
wo should send all applicants before a
board, nnd whoever passed tho best ex
amination would get the place.
Mr. Dent Suppose, sir, in that ex
amination I should display qualifica
tions quite equal to your own, or oven
superior, and such ns would fully ill
mo for your placo ?
Colonel Fisher Then, sir, whenever
thero was a vacancy I should recom
mend you Jor it.
Mr. Dent I havo no doubt my ex
amination would so result, sir, nnd
show my qualifications to bo equal to
your own.
Colonel Fisher You liavo tho entire
advantage of me, sir. Your constant
allusions to my qualifications may como
from something you know or have
eheard of me. I know nothinir of
you, sir, and havo nover hoard any
thing before.
Mr. Dent It seems to bo useless to
press this conversation further, sir.
Colonel Fisher I havo indicated tho
only way (hat an nppolutment can bo
secured whllo I am Commissioner.
With this tho pompous gentleman
withdrew. Next day he returned and
went over tho samo ground with tho
Acting Commissioner, and received
substantially tho samo information.
Not being satisfied with this ho pushed
around into another room, whero ho ac
costed a gentleman ho took to bo con
nected with tho Patent Office, and bo
gan with a very dignified nlr:
Aro there any Assbtant Examiners'
positions vacant?
Wag-Yes, sir.
Mr. Dent I doslro to apply for ono.
Wag But who aro you, sir?
Mr. Don t My nnmo Is Dent, broth-
er ot Genoral Dent brother-in-law of
tho President, sir.
Wag-Tho dovll you aro ! Well, you
nro Just the man wo want.
Mr. Dent How is that, sir?
Wag You arojust tho man wo wnnt.
This Is tho only department In tho gov
ernment that has not got a Dent In It,
and wo want you, sir. Wo mu9t havo
you, When can you como down ?
Tho pleased expression that had cov
ered Mr. Dent's countenanco at tho
first intimation that ho was wanted
gradually faded, as tho wag ran on, nnd
Just as n company of bystanders broke
Into n laugh tho gentleman who had
dono m much for tho country, and
wanted to do more, disappeared iu tho
corridor. H. V. Bovnton

Thoso who composo tho business part
of tho community Who mnko nnr
grcat.usoful men wero taught In their
ooyiioou to no industrious, lioyg, take
those pipes out of your inouthnnd think
of this.
The Importnnco of ono voto was de
monstrated nt the recent election In Jo.
Davlesj comity, Illinois, where a Radi
cal was elected to tho Legislature by one
majority.
Tho Land Grabbors.
Tho manner In which tho Radicals In
Congress hnvo voted away tho public
lands Is sufficient to condemn thorn nnd
ought to hurl them out of power. Bu
forolnst winter, and wltnln tho last ten
years, tho Hndlcsl party gavo nwny to
huge corporations IOO.OjO.OOO ncres. To
it single company tho Northern Pacific
47,000,000 ucroi wero given prior to
Inst session and, nt the hist session, (!,
000,000 acres moro wero ndded, making
C3,000,000 acres. This railroad with Its
branches has 2,000 miles of lino. It gets
20,000 ncres for every inllo of lino that
It has.
JTou; this land belongs to the people.
And when Congress votes It nway, they
commit n criuio against the peoplu as
heinous ns It would bo to reach into tho
people's pockets and tako therefrom tho
vnluo of theso lands In money.
These railroad cmporatlom, to whom
theso lands aro given, aro mado up of n
fow wealthy eipltalbts from the Now
England States nnd Now York. Thoy
nro to realize thu bouetlts which will
accrue and from thoconstructlon of theso
railroads from tho proceeds of theso
public lands. Why should this bo done
for tho benefit of u fow" wealthy Indi
viduals V Simply bec.UKO tho R ulicils
havo become so corrupt Hut men of lm
meiiso wealth and entcrprlsa do not
hesltnto n moment to attempt thu pas
sage of uny huge job through Congress.
They know that all that Is required Is
sufficient money and tho 'roosters' will
perform any dirty work that may bo
required at their hands. So frightful
was this effort to get hold of tho public
Iand3, that at ono tlmo last c.sslon,one
hundred nnd seventy bills giving away
thi"o lands wero upon tho Clerk's desk.
It has been tho policy of the Govern
mont heretofore to grunt nlti'i nato sec
tions of tho lands, lying along theso
railroads, calculating that tho Inere.iso
In tho several sectlons.owlng tnthocon
structhm of tho railroad, would moro
than pay fur thu lauds given away. But
the sharks who are foeklng to "gobble
up" tho whole of tho public domain arc
not satisfied with this. Last winter,
they succeeded in pjsjiiigabill through
tho Senato granting an Immense num
ber of these reserved sections to ono of
theso mammoth corporations, so that
it would thereby own all the land ulon;
the line of its roitd. Fortunately this
bill did not get through tho Housa, but
If tho peoplo endor.-o the conduct of the
Radical members of Congress by elect
ing a majority of Ridieals to tho next
Congress, they can expect to sea this in
iquitous swindlo perpetrated.
Tako Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio
and Michigan. Throw them all Into
ono stretch of territory, and you will
jiot havo an area as great as that which
Congress hits given to thoso corporations
of tho public lands. Is it not time that
this profligacy wero checked ?
Now theso public lands ought ta bo
held for actual setlers. 1'ho working
men of tho country who desire to settle
In tho West ought to havo tho ehoiea of
theso lands. It is their labor and in
dustry which must improvo tho soil.
Then, too, tho foreigners who lleo
from tho thraldom of kingly power und
tho curse of land monopolies on tho
European continent and who, coming
here, seek a homo in tho West, aud by
their frugality and Industry soon ac
quire comfortable homes and build
towns nnd cities, ought to lu encour
aged In preference to these corporations
which think of nothing but their own
interests. Tho President of tho Stato
Labor Union in Kans is, says that tho
"result of granting largo bjdios of land
to corporations Is thu curso of Kansas
to-day. Tho lands aro hold beyond tho
reach of the' poor, and tho laboring
man Is compelled to work upon tho
railroads to procure food for his family,
whllo tho company holds tho legal tltlo
to tho lands on which it was liis right to
settle and mako for himself a homo.
The poor want homes, and will seek
them upon tho public, domain If tho
land is given to them to cultivate nnd
produce thereon tho means to support
themselves nnd families, nud add some
thing to tho wealth of -tho country."
Citizens of Pennsylvania, it is high
tlmo that you tako into yourown hands
the 'protection' or your material inter
eits. It Is time for you to 'protect' your
Interest in tho public lands from thoso
Radical 'roo-iturs' who aro selling you
out In Congress continually. Stop this
voting away of the public lands by
electing Democrats to Congress. 1 'al
ley Spirit.
