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.

Kni.auoemknt op the Canals.
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
