THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBU11G, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. $u GfoUunbhw. ULOOMSUUltG, PA. Friday, Jaimary 2Gf 1S7B- flronllng DcmocrnH. Our orRanlZAtlon, liko others, Is In festcil with n great many chronto fnult flndorsi men who groan over defeats which they tlldnot try to avert, or who prophecy future disaster mid alt down to moan mid nwalt it. Fnlth in success is always half a victory 5 and ho Is most lllcely to nchlovo It who, without count Ing all tho doubtful chances as against him, reaolutoly determines to go to work and earn It. Tho fact Is that tho army of growlers nro to a party what "hummers" nro to an army. They swell its numbers, consumo its sub stance, pick up any stray stealings, and in n fight nro tho first to desort to the enemy. Thoy, llko tho "bummers," complain of their leaders, object to dis cipline, ulwaysdemand promotion, and betray their organization if their pri vate interests aro benefitted thereby. Whcnovcr wo hear a man cry out about "rings," or boast of his own po litical purity, wo fool certain that ho has been thwarted in some schemo for personal aggrandizement, or that tho public failed to cstlmato him at tho valuo ho puis upon hlmsolf. Our object now Is to warn tho people ncatnst theso malcontents. It Is tho duty of ovory man professing to bo a Democrat, to bucklo on his armor and attempt to dofoat tho common foo ; ami then, If spoils bo his object, lot him quarrel over thorn : but ho Is a traitor to tho causo who wouldattcmptto breed discontent and dissension, or what Is worse, turn his arms against tho friends who trusted him. Tho truo Douioctat always lights tho battles of his organl zitlon, and is not turned a;Ido by petty disappointments nor by party reverses but tho greater tho necessity for action tho harder ho labors. AVo tell you, Democrats of Columbia county, that in tho coming contest the Democratic parly will win. Wo will carry tho Legislature (and with it gain n U. S. Sanator) wo will win tho Gov ertior a majority in Congress and the President. Tho Republicans are dlsor ganlzsd, whilst we aro dally gaining strength. Proper candidates and a pop uhr platform will insure 113 success, and now is tho timo to closo tho mouths of the political "bummers'1 in our own ranks, who, whilo they contributo noth ing towards tho causo, constantly stab at thoso who do. (.rant's Greatest. This is preeminently tho ago of Jobs, but it has remained for tho President of tho United States to endorse ono, be foro which all othcro, San Domingo in eluded, "palo their Ineffectual fires;" wo refer to tho postal-telegraph schemo ro commended by Gran t in his last message to Congress. As this subject will prob ably bo brought up for consideration at an early day, wo deslro our readers to bo acquainted with its merits. It is proposed to buy all tho telegraph lines of tho country and place them under tho management of tho Post-Offico De partment. Tho cost of thoso purchases, although very largo, amounting to sorno $30,000,000, is but a minor mat tor compared with tho subsequent of fects which would bo produced by plac ing theso lines under Government sway. Tho President gives as a reason why theso lines should bo purchased tho probability that "tho cost of tele graphing could bo much reduced" and tho business transacted equally as well "if not bettor" than in prlvato bands. Wo bcliovo tho peoplo pretty gonerally understand that tho Government always pays more for labor and materi als than individual operators, and that tho chances aro more decidedly in favor of an increase than a decreasoof expen ditures. Again, thero would bo no privacy in messages; all would boun der tho direct espionage of tho admin istration through its employees. It is hardly necessary to dilate on tho power which this would confer In cases of closely contested elections when tho Democratic candidates would bo com pelled to abandon tho uso of tho telo graph or expose their plans to unfriend ly criticism. This is perhaps the strongest objection which exists. Grant, with that foreknowledge of paying in vestments which forms so strong a point in his character, has already pur chased telegraph stock In anticipation of future emoluments. This alone should condemn tho plan. Another strong argument against tho scheme lies in tho fact that it would bo placing in tho hands of tho Admlnlstra tlon a powerful electioneering weapon Tho number of offices in tho gift of tho President Is already enormous but who could cstlmato tho number which would accrue to him, should theso purchases bo made? Thousands .upon thousands of now offices could bo erected, mid men appointed to fill them, their po sitions dopendlng upon the votes they cast. Miles of wires could bo put up, whether necessary or not, for the pur posoof provldlngsltuatlons for tho nun- gry ofllco seekers who besiege tho White House. Tho salaries of those multitud inous employees, tho cost of erecting and maintaining tho lines and number less incidental expenses would como from the pockets of tho people, and this too on tho problematical reduction, only, of tho rates for sending messages Wo liavo seen enough of tho uses to which this Administration can put any means placed in its hands, to know that this job If carried out would be como a political ongino to bo used in controll log elections and tho Democracy would actually bo paying tho salaries of count less officials all working with what zeal is in them to secure tho triumph of tho Republican party. Till! Boston Transcrint savs: "Hon Jamln Franklin is regarded by almost universal consent as tno greatest man over Dorn in jnow isngianu." If this bo so, wo should bo pleased to know where it is proposed to place Sumner? Are all his years of labor spent In cramming himself with apt quotations from tuo choicest classical sources, and U3ed in bis public oratorio al efforts, to go for nothing? Franklin could not liavo delivered himself of anything llko tho amount of cflorvea cent elocution in bohalf of tho "man and brother," and is all this to bo over looked ? Wo trust that tho Uostoniutia will pause before confirming tho asser tion of tho UYantcripl and carefully ro gard tho claims of their "library of so led quotations." Tho Administration ami Itcfurm. In December last, when Senator Trumbull introduced Ills bill looking to tho reform of corruptions and abuses in tho administration of public nfmrs, Grant's supporters in tho Sonato woro loud In their denunciations of tho mcas uro mid vohemcnt in their assertions of tho purity of tho Government. It was not until tho peoplo, through tho press, had mado known their determination to hnvomi Investigation that theso gen tlemen wero convinced of tho utter im possibility of maintaining their posi tion. In tho Custom IIouso Cotnuittco in Now York woseo tho samo deslro to in- lorposo obstacles In tho unearthing of monstrous abuses, on thopartof cortoln Sonators, notablo frionds of tho Whlto Houso clique. Upon an occasion ro- cently whon u witness was giving dam aging tostlmouy as to tho corruptness of officials, ho was treated so uncivilly by Senator Stewart that ho (Stownrt) was rebuked by Senator Uayard, ono of tho two Democrats on tho Commlttco, who said that tho wltnoss was not pres ent for trial ns n defaultor but for tho purpose of giving testimony. So prompt liavo tho papers been in pub lishing tho proceedings and so damag ing liavo theso proved, that tho Com mlttco contcmplato going to Wash ington to avoid further disclosures. By this change tho Commlttco gets rid of troublcsomo wltnosscs and its futuro actions will virtually amount to noth ing. Enough however has been dis closed to provo that Grant's bosom friend Loot has mado thousands of dol lars by unlawful and fraudulont charges nnd that Grant's military fam lly at Washington know tho facts, If they, tho President Included, did not sharo tho spoils. Tho peoplo should demand a full Investigation of this Cus tom IIouso business nnd whoro Improp er and corrupt practices prevail, the of fenders should bo promptly dealt with, regardless of tho rank of tho offonder. Thero has been so much virtuous Indig nation at Democratic Tammany Hall that Republican Custom IIouio should have Its fair sharo. Tho New Militia Hill.

Tho Pennsylvania Canal company now controls 303 miles of navigation main lino from Columbia to Holldaysburg, 173 miles; West Bronch and Susquo hannn division, from tho Junction to Lock Haven, 111 miles; Wyoming db vision, from Northumberland to Wit-kcs-Barrc, 01 miles; Wlconlsco canal, recently acquired by tho company, 12 miles. Two years ugo last Fall tho company commenced to cnlargo tho dlinotislons of Its canals. Tho channel is about fivo foot deep, twenty-eight foot wldo at tho bottom and forty-four feet nt wntcrlino. Tho Improvements m.iko it six feet in depth, thirty-four feet nt tho bottom nud flfty.flvo feet across tho surface of tho water. It Is oxpoctod that tho work of Increasing tho width, etc., from Co lumbia to Wllkes-Barro will bo com pleted by Juno next. Largo numbers of workmen nro now engaged ludlgglng between MIddlctowu nnd Columbia, Clark's Ferry and North umberland and between tho latter placo and Nantlcoko dam n forco of nearly 2,000, which is being gradually Increas ed, as laborers can bo procured. Tho wages paid amount to about $00,000 per month. Four dredging machines aro used during tho Summer, each of which is capable of removing fivo miles of bnmc a season. Tho cost of ono is about $10,000. Tho Intention of tho company is to make tho dimensions of all tho canals alike, but this may not bo consumma ted for sovoral years. Tho company owns 3 steamboats nnd 37 canal boats. Tho cintiro number on tho different lines readies about nino hundred, which transport in tho neigh borhood of 1,000,000 tons of freight, audi as coal, lumber etc., annually. The main lino nnd branches of tho company liavo 111 lift uud 10 gunrd locks, most of thoso on tho eastern di vision (which passes through Harris burg) having doublo chambers. The enlargement of tho Pennsylva nia canal is already giving nmplo ovl denco of its utility in facilitating navi gation. Eight pairs of section bonts, each couplo canablo of carrying safely and expeditiously 300 tons of freight nro now plying tho lower canals, where tho channel has been enlarged to the requislto dimensions and doublo chatn ber locks havo been introduced. Two of theso boats pass through n lock to gethor, ono behind tho other. Tho ca pacity of an ordinary boat is about 100 tons so it will bo soon that 300 tons of freight can bo transported nlmost as cheaply us 100 under tho old system of navigation. Tho water being deeper by a foot a boat can bo much moro heav ily laden, without requiring any addi tional horses. Tho capacity of two sec tion boats is about fifty per cent, great er than that of ono of tho barges on tho Erie canal, which channel is considera bly wider and deeper than that of tho improved Pennsylvania. When tho enlargement has been effectcdon all tho lines of tho Pennsylvania canal doublo chamber locks will bo generally erected and section boats substituted for thoso now in use.
