II V. L. DlEFFENHACH.
. Our Eilltoil.il Management.
Before terminating our connection
with tho press In this county and pass
ing to another field of servlco it "Is our
desire that n clear understanding shall
bob ad by our readers andby tho public
regarding ono point in our editorial
management of tho Columbian, during
the past year. We refer to our treat
rent of quistlonspertalnlng to general
politics in the Statu and country,Includ
Ing the so-called "now departure," tho
management of tho lato election by the
Democratic State Commlttco, tho futuro
chairmanship of that Committee, the
"passive policy" recently proposed for
the approaching Presidential election,
and'other questions of a like character
or classification. Wo have expressed
our own views upon all these questions,
without assistance or Instigation from
any quarter, and with coraplcto Inde
pendence. Certain it Is, (although the
contrary has been several times assert
ed by tho Radical organ of this county,)
that Sir. Buckaxew has not written a
lino for our nowspapor on general poli
tics or concerning public men slnco wo
came here, or been consulted or concern
ed In any way whatever in our prepar
tlon of editorials concerning either.
This plain statement of a fact In our
editorial management wo think Is one
of simple justice to ourselves, as well as
to Mr. Buckalew, and proper to fix
and confirm our rightful responsibility
for tho views we havo expressed upon
public affairs and party action. Those
views wo Rdhero to, and wo believe
them to bo sound and Just ; but.whethcr
aound and just or not they arc our own
and will bo proclaimed and defended
.by us on all fit occasions.
Neither tho public wclfaro nor tho
interests of tho Democratic parly will
be promoted by "new departures," or
"passive policies ;" by eonlltions with
negro suffrage fanatics or mercenary
radicals, nor by tho running of our own
party machinery by EcltUh or Incom
petent leaders. Thrao are our senti
ments, honestly expressed , and we shall
stand to them here and elsewhere, now
and hereafter.
OimxEiaiinoKof tho Danville Tntcl
liffencer Is In error regarding tho extent
to which tho freo voto can bo applied
in popular and other elections. It can
be applied In tho choice of Presidential
electors, members of Congress, Senators
and Kepreseutatlvesltt tho Legislature,
Judges of (ho .Supremo Court of tho
State, Associate Judges of Counties,
County Comml-sloners and Aulltors,
Councllmen In cities and boroughs.
School Directors and many other local
or municipal officers. In Bloomsburg
it applies to tho election of twenty one
out of a total of ticentyour town ofll
eers, and undoubtedly gives an Im
proved claas of men In tho local govern
ment. It is truo that to tho complete
application of reformed voting to tome
of tho o01ccs above mentioned, n few
changes In oflleial terms of servlco or
tluio or manner of election will to
necessary ; but this is matter of dotail
and Involves no difficulty. Again, ro
. form is greatly neoded in electing offl.
cers of Incorporated companies so that
all tho stockholders shall bo represent
ed In their management, which c;ui be
accomplished by tho free voto and
hardly by any other means.
Havino had tho offer of several
prominent Democratic papers in tho
State, the retiring publisher of tho Co
lumbian finally chose tho Lycoming
Standard, published In tho city of Wlb
liamsport, as most doslrablo and con
genial to him. Of courso wo would bo
glad to send that paper to any of our
present readers but will not do so unless
directly ordered. In a long editorial
career wo havo novcr yet entered tho
namo of any ono on our list without
request to do so, excepting a very few
instances whero no chargo was mado
and compensation refused if offered.
Any ono, thcuforo, who wants to read
tho Lycoming Standard at an cxpenso
of two dollars per year will bo gratified
upon making their deslro known to tho
publisher,
John Scott's Ku-KIux Commlttco Is

When a stranger, you camo hero to

Not Smooth Sailing.
Tho Idea so Jubilantly entertained by
Grant, a short tlmo since, that he had
nothing to do but walk over tho course
fora second Presidential term unoppos
ed, is rapidly giving way to plausible
dread and doubt. Tho Washington
correspondent of tho.New York Trib
une says:
"There seems to bo nn undercurrent
of feeling, not yet publicly expressed,
yetndmlttsd In tho private conversa
tion of mony of tho supporters of tho
Administration, and ndvocates of Gen.
Grant's renomlnation, that they may
not have as clear sailing as thoy have
anticipated for their candldato through
tho National Convention uext Spring
Many of thc?o men coming fresh from
constituencies aro forced to admit that
whllo as yet thero has been no very out
spoken opposition to Ocn. Grant's re
nomination, among the masses, thero is
discovered in private conversation, a
wide spread feeling that ho is not tho
very best maD in tho country to bo Pres
ident for another term."
That "undercurrent'' is finding ex
pression moic freely nnd publicly every
day, and tho discussion In tho Senato on
tho frauds and corruption of tho Grant
administration is Increasing tho already
"wide-spread feeling" referred to.
The b! Job of the Administration
for tho present session will bo tho con
summation of tho postal-telegraph
scheme. It Is ono of thoso well devised
plans by which not only speculators but
politicians can bo largely benefitted.
An addition of 20,000 federal officials
and undisputed control of the entire
telegraphy of tho country by tlio Gov
ernment will placo in tho hands of nn
administration opportunities for evil
such as have never before been onjoyod,
aud which opportunities will most cer
tainly bo fully Improved. Tho propo
sition moots with favor not only at tho
hands of tho Executive, but of tho lead
ing Administration papers j and from
what Is known of tho readily.mouldod
character or the Republican majority
in Congress thero Is llttlo doubt tint it
will bo put through.
The valedictory nddn mot aovornor
iritlght,of Cnllfornla.to tlio Legislature
of that State, is an able, and satisfactory
official paper. Tho Governor calls at
tention to tho fact, that during his ad
ministration, tho State debt has been
reduced from 15,101,000 to $3,102,000 j
that tho schools aro In a most flourish
ing condition j and that prosperity and
economy havo distinguished tho four
years of Democratic rule, lie recom
mends a change In tho land laws of tho
State, on tho ground that thoy now
facilitate tho acquisition of luro tracts
of land by corporations ; and advlsos
that a Constitutional Convention bo hold
to remodel tho Judicial system and tho
system of taxation. A combination of
plunderers and grabbers boat Mr.llalght
and elected Mr. Booth,, It remains to
bo seon whether tho people will bo as
honestly served by tho latter.
(front's Thieve.
When tho Trumbull resolution wns
bcroro tho United States Senato a fow
days since, tho administration Senators
cut a sorry figure. In their attempts
to defend Grant nnd excuso the thou-
sands of defaulter who surround lilnii
they mado assertions which wero bo
supremely ridiculous and so notorious
ly false, that oven those jvlio feet dis
posed to slide to Grant havo lo laugh
outright, for Instance, Mr. Edmunds,
Who Is moro than inspected of being
ono of tho Gran1- ring of ppcculalorj,
had tho effrontery to nsfert that :
"This administration will compare
favorably (In tlio way of honesty) with
any administration that over preceded
It from tlio days of Washington to this
day. Thero havo been embezzlements,
I admit, but there havo been embezzle
ments under nil administrations," Ac.
No wJiiidcr " laughter In tho gallcr
lea" followed this burst of unadultera
ted falsehood. Mr. Schuiz, (Republi
can,) answered Edmunds promptly nnd
triumphantly. Said Mr. SehurB:
" Nay, clr, If you tenrch tho history
of thi country you cannot point out to
to mo four coiwctttlvo years during
which fo ninny embezzlements and de
falcations have eonio to light ns have
been laid bare to thu public cyo during
tho laft thrcooi-four mouths. If I mil
mistaken, 1 shall bo glad to be correct
ed, A great many of these frauds, cm
berzlements nnd defalcations wcro not
discovered by diligent Inquiry or In
vestigation, but by something lllco acci
dent; wo simply stumbled over them,
and there they are. It cannot, will not
Lo denied, that under this administra

Plain Talk.
The New York World, In speaking of
thocoursoof tho administration Sena
tors on tho Trumbull resolution, uses
tins strong language:
"If General Grant's friouds In tho
Senato wcro not convinced in their con
sciences, and with their means of
knowledge, that his administration Is
corrupt, they would not thus squelch
aud stlllo honest inquiry. Adminls
tratlvo purity would rejolco in such an
opportunity to removo suspicions, el.
loncoslandew, brighten its reputation.

dence. It is thieves that skulk : it is

manccuvcr? Treasurer Spinnor, less
than two weeks ago, solemnly averred,
In his annual report, ns a matter within
his personal knowledge, that thoTrcas
ury Department is administered with
tho most eutiro purity, and tince tlio

When tho frauds In tho municipal

Immediately Mr, Tlldcn and other
leading members of tho parly repudia
ted all connection with tho thloves nnd
rend them nut of tho Democratic fold,
Tho Tammany Ring wns overwhelm
ingly beaten at tho polls nnd beaten by
Democratic influence nnd Democratic
votes. This wns dono without hesita
tion, though It wns apparent that such
a courso would throw the Stnto tempo
rarlly Into tho hands of tho Republi
cans. When party success eonld 110
longer bo secured, except by bolstering
up corruption, tho Democracy of New
York voluntarily submitted to defiat
rather than tuffer dishonor.
But thodctcrnilnatlon to punish mat

What n contrast to this commemlablo
conduct of tho New York Democracy
Is offered by Grant and his supporters I
Tom Murphy, who cheated tho Gov

tno war, by rurnlsiilng shoddy clothing
and villainously-constructed hats to the

Tho Radical majority in (lie United

act they said to tho hordo of scoundrels
who nro plundering tho National Treas

took caro to exclude from tho Investi

appointed, every Republican who hud
exhibited tho least disposition to deal
properly with existing abuses. They

Stewart and Poole, to cheekmato any
action which might bo taken by tlio
single Democrat thoy were forced to
placo upon the Committee. Harlan, of
lowa, whoso corrupt management of
tho interior Department under a f"rm
cr administration gavo him good cause
to dread nn investigation, is member of
this Committee, which was constituted
to shield rascals of every grailo : Stow-
art, of Nevada, is well known as n no
torious broker of legislative Jobs of

Carolina, owes his seat in tho Senate to
a combination of fraud and violence.
Buckingham, of Connecticut, who is

Govkiinoi: lUitiHT, of California,
In his valedictory message adverts, In
terms of merited CDnsuri?, to .ho courso
pursued by government officials In tho
recent elections In that S'ate. When
officers inarhal Jourton or fifteen hun
dred laborers to tho polls; destroy tho
secrecy of tho ballot by compelling tho
use of strips of pasteboard, live-eighths
of nn Inch wide, printed closely In dia
mond type, so that alteration Is imposs
ible, they aim 11 blow at tho oxlsteneo
of free government, and virtually di
rect the machinery of republican iustl
tutlonsto defeat tho popular will, upon
which they aro avowedly based. No
partisan or personal consideration should
provent a prompt and effectual remedy
for tills abu-e. Governor Halght rec
ommends au enactment providing for
u uniform ballot on white paper, which
would bo a good thing everywhere.
Touciir SToniKf". Tho Reading pa
pers nro in tho habit of telling rnther
tough stories. Tho excitement occa
sioncd by their yarn about "tlio young
woman thrown into a -.veil' near
Churchtown, has hardly had tlmo to
sussldc, before they treat us to tho story
of a pearl taken from nn oyster somo
twonty-ilvo yearsngo, which has grown
threo times its original slzo! ami of a
pertrified mouso found In tho walls of nn
old building recently torn down In that
enterprising city.
National Bank. Senator Sumner,
It is said, will soon submit to Congress
a bill for tho establishment of 11 grand
National Bank, to bo called "Tho Ex
chequer of tho United States," nnd
modeled after thu Bank of England.
Tho plati contains two departments,
the "banking'' nnd tho "Issue ' depart
ment, and provides for 0110 hundred
millions of capital, to bo taken by sub-
scrlptioti. It is designed, nlno, to take
tho placo of tho present sub-treasury
W'nv.x Jluget wished to bo ftiado 11
Colonel nnd Noblo nt tho same time,
Uiehelleu's reply to Joseph was, "we'll
promlso It; and seo tho King with
holds." That Is tlio Grant policy at tho
present time. Tlio people demand in
vestigation, reform in all departments
of tho public service. General Grant
promises It in ids messige, but sees
that tlio Senato withholds. Ills mess
age was a cheat , a fraud. The action of
tho Senato proves it.
At n special election held In Georgia
on tho 19th, Hon. James M. Hmitli was
chosen Governor, to fill tho unoxplrcd
termof Rufus B. Bullock. Tho bill ap
pointing tills election was vetoed by net
ing Gov. ernorConley, on tho ground of
unconstitutionality. The voto was over
ridden by tho Legislature, liovovcr,and
thoelection took placo with thoresult an
nounced. Oivlngtotho feeblo opposi
tion of tho carpet-baggers, tho voto was
light.
A new and startling fraud lias been
discovered, seriously Implicating ofll
elals In tho Statu Department nt Wash
ington. Tlio statement of tho American
claims in tho Alabama case, a highly
confidential document, was, moro than
two months ago, surreptitiously obtain
ed by an ugent of tlio British govern
ment, which has thus had a slgnnl ad
vantage In tho preparation of its case.
If Schurz, Trumbull nnd that class of
Radicals who desire to seo Grant defeat
ed, aro honest in their opposition, thoy
will turn In and help tho Democracy
do It, If not honest, why should tho
Democracy, to all intents and purposes
disband, nstho "passive policy" dictates
ond allow cither wing of tho Radical
thloves to succeed'.'
Spain Is constantly claiming that tlio
rebellion In Cuba Is crushed, and all tho
patriots ready to lay down their arms,
but, at tlio same time, sending heavy
reinforcements of troops to maintain
tho Royal authority, oven within fifty
miles of Havana. Tho latter fact shows
tho truu condltlou of affairs In Cutn.
GovEitNOit Geauv warns tho mom.
hers of tho National Union Loaguo
"not to bo soducod by any such do
vices" as tho Democracy may get up to
Inllucnco tholr votes at tho coming elec
tion. Tho Governor has been soduccd
so many times that ho Is safe from any
fresh temptations. Age.
ItIs said that threo now States will
apply for admission Into the Union, and
two new Territories will apply for In
