Tho Lewistown Gazette, radical,
thinks it strange that we should warn
tho democrats against putting dishon- j
est men in place, seeming to say that
tho democrats laid claim to having no
dishonest men in its ranks. 1 hi* he
porter never claimed that the demos
cratie party was made up of altogeth
er spotless men. But we do claim J
that at least ninety-nine per cent, o:
it is composed of good and honest n ..
terial, while the party ot the Garotte
is largely made up of men who seek
after plunder, with a slight sprink
ling of honest men—this conclusion
cne must arrive at. on reviewing the
conduct of radical officials, from the
president down, during the last Jour>
teen years, scarcely one but what he
has engaged in pilfering. Tho Re
porter is as much opposed to having
dishonest democrats in place as it is
to having dishonest republicans in >-t
--fiee. and will just as promptly call the
former to account as the latter, and
this is what all honest newspaper ed
itors must do, and will do, —only the
Gazette has been a little unmindful
of this duty toward the culprits in
its own ranks. We want batter men
in politics aud in office, and pursuing
the aforesaid course will put the buz
zards in the hindmost seat or be dri
ving them out altogether.
Fornev's Press, it is reported, wid
change front on the Ist of Jan. next,
Alex. McClure having purchased a
controling interest in it, having
bought one share more than half the
stock at $250,000, J. W. Forney re
tainiDg the balance. The report
further says uuuer Col. McClure s
management the Press will rapresent
the various opposition elements thai
defeated the State aud City Ring?
and Grantism.
The first energies of the paper un
der McClure will probably be devot
ed to the elections to be held in Feb
ruary next under the uew Constitu
tion for Council, police magistrates,
and other officers of the municipal
Government of Philadelphia. These
are now nearly all in the bands of the
most corrupt Ring in the country.
The Gubernatorial campaign of next
fall will be the next objective point,
aud to this end the Pennsylvania pol
iticians are already addressing them
selves. Ex-Gov. Curtia is expected
to be the candidate of the democrats
and Liberal Republicans, aud Gen.
liartrauft of the city and State Rings,
of Simon Cameron. As this election
is in a large measure the key to the
Presidential campaign of 1870, great
efforts are to be made by the Repub
licans to carry it, and the Adminis
tration, alarmed at the new attitude
which the Press is to assume, is under
engagement to cooperate with them
by a free use of the Executive pat
ronage. During the late canvass the
Democrats did not have a single iai
portant newspaper in the city of Phil
adelphia.
Now is the time for the democratic
party to show its hands, and to inaug
urate an era of purity in the admin
istration of public affairs, so far as
this lies in its power through the con
trol it has of the lower house at Wash
ington, after the fourth of next March,
and in the lower branch of the state
legislature.
Its first opportunity lies in the or
ganization of tbehouee at Harrisburg,
a fit man must be elected speaker, and
ditto chief-clerk, and then the idle of
fice holders down to the pastors and
folders must be lopped off—this to in
clude the "resident clerk."
Then a democrat must be elected U.
S. Senator wbo will be an honor to
the state and a credit to the party.
Next a move must be made for
economy in al! the departments at
Harrisburg, and if the radical Senate
a gubernatorial veto interfere in
a movement towards economy and re
form, upon the radicals let the respon
sibility rest. The democrats must
move in the matter —they are pledg
ed to it to the people who in the re
cent elections gave the democracy
their votes.
In Congress the programme for
the democrats must be a similar one,
and it must be followed up all the
time.
The party must also lop off its
ringsters and roosters everywhere and
purify its ranks wherever such char
acters are )detected. We can get
along without the Sam Joseph?, and
now is the time to say so, and give
the ringsters and traders in politics
fair notice, that they are not wantod.
This must be done in county and
etate. For every dishonest and cor
rupt democrat driven from our ianks
a doren honest republicans will come
in to swell our numbers.
The democrats have cried for re
form and fetter men, and it is in their
power now to show that they were in
earnest. Let democrats who have
been placed in responsible positions,
remember that a faithful discharge of
duty is'asked of them, and that a
vigilant eye will be kept upon their ac
tions, and that prompt exposure and
denunciation will follow any bending
in the path of rectitude.
It is reported that Gov. Cu/tin and
Tom Scott have an interest in the new
management of the Philadelphia
Press, which is soon to pass under the
control of Alex. McClure. The Press
Will beau anti-ring and

THE INDIAN RING
As this has been a good year fur
the breakingjup of "ring.-.'' it wiil t. >w
he in order fur all upright meu to help
burst the very worst of all rings. We
allude to the "Indian ring,' which
annually robs the I nited States freiu
urv of millions of dollars and cheat
the pt>or Indians out of a like -urn.
The New York Tribune, which i- cer
tainly good Radical authority, in al
luding to these public robbers ?a\s:
The Indian ring is a natural scan
dal, which is just as notorious as the
swindlers of the district government,
the Philadelphia and Harrisburg con-
spiracv, or the peculations of o!d
Tamany, and yet neither the philan
thropic friends of the Indians, nor dis
appointed and disgusted traders, nor
a watchful opposition iu Congress have
ever been able to bring it to account.
That a powerful combinational thieves
in office and thieves outside has btcu
plundering the government with one
hand and the red men with the other
for a loug course of years, and that
they have not only bought high func
tionaries but have dictated tho aj>-
poiutmeut of their own member- to of
fices connected with Indian affair*, m
reasonable being thinks of duulni..g
Investigation has uow and then been
ordered; some ugly facts have been
disclosed ; the names of many of the
unofficial partners have been obtained;
and on several occasions clues have ltd
straight to certain rooms iu the interi
or department; but through some un
known influence complete discovery
has always been balked at the last
moment.
For some time the firm ofDurfee A
Peck had a monopoly of the trading
privilege at several of the Indian agen
cies, and if they did not make it t.x
tremely profitable tbey must be very
different from other men iu their line
of business. Tbey seemed to be prime
favorites in the department of the in
terior, and boasted freely cf their un
limited indueuce in that division of
the government. But a little while
ago they were suddenly refused per
mission to trade at these agencies, for
reasons which we do uot know- and of
course do not question. One Jobn A.
Charles, of Sioux City, thereujion
bought their stock aud buildings and :
applied for a license to trade at Forts
BertholeJ, Peck and Belknap, ami the
Grand River Reservation. The ap
plication was granted. It is now as
certained that Secretary Delano has
conferred the coveted privilege upon
the President's brother, Orville S.
Grant, and Graut has formed a part
nership with a Mr. A. L. Bonaffun, of
Philadelphia, ono furnishing the mon
ey and the other the official influence,
to carry on this immensely luecrative
and often dishonest trade. Unable on
account of the lateness of the season,
to transport goods to the agencies and
put up new buildings, Graut and Bon
affon have bought out the discomfit
ted Charles. As no competition with
them is allowed they will undoubtedly
make a good thing out of the enter
prise ; the Indian ring will have an
other friend at court, and the country
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that one more relation is provided for.
A WORD IN SEASON.
The following from one of the abb-t
Democratic papers in the State (the
Erie Observer;, we feel confident e ve
ry disinterested Democrat will en
dorse, viz;
It is iu good season to cail the at
tention of the Democratic majority in
the next House of Representatives of
Pennsylvania to some of the leading
features that will be expected of ibem
by their constituents. The people
did not transfer the control of the
house into the hands pf our party
without good and potent reasons.
They were nauseated with the acts of
our political oppouc-uts, and tiinm-1 to
the Democratic party in the hope that
it would accomplish certain results
which are of paramount importance
to any mere division of spoils or be
stowal of public honors. Among these
are the following;
A reduction of salaries in every de
partment, beginning at the Executive
office aud going down to the hum
blest pastor and folder in the State
House cellars.
The cutting off of every superflu
ous office holder, and the choice of no
man for any position who is not known
to be temperate, honest, industrious
and worthy.
Rigid investigation into the several
departments, and especially that pre
sided over by Treasiiref Muckev.

THE GARDEN OF THE GOI.K
If ever there was a place on tarilt
where the : i* of the Gret k-and Ko

and bad a g..0tl time, that pines' must
have ben ('•>! rad >. Near the | :
of the famous mountain knowu as
i'Te' IVak lie* the "Garden of the
Gud*." It i* a ,nnll valley, just on
the edge of the Itockv Mountain*,
i and is completely urrounded by n
. high jserpcndicular wall of white
-sandstone. Titer-'are two culianccs

. them —the larger—i* tallt.! "The
JJeautitul Gate."' It i-a narrow gap
in u mas* of I ik iu re than one httn-
Jred It L t high. As y u enter, you
look over a valley fenced in on ui 1
side* xvith white sandstone ; and, near
ly opposite, at the top of a hill,*;- an
other smaller gateway, half c ncealc l
by a huge rock about the size of an
ordinary cottage. This nta-- of rock
is so balanced on the edge of the slope
. that it !< ks a- if it might jump of!
ami go thundering i n the hill
whilc you look at it-
The Garden of the Gods abound
with beautiful tret* and foliage, and
towering amidst litis loveliness, arc
otne of the most extraordinary, queer
and fantastic slopes ever made out of
... ';. \2 (-i when this pnrl of
the world tj-ii in a Mate of terrible
commotion, vast layers of rock vcre
forced up out of the earth iu all sorts!
of position*. t?omo were vertical,
some slanting, and some were criss
cross and mixedjup generally. Lfnrn-
L-d mep ray that was tho way the-t
layers ofsaudsione / t.hic!: once were
ilat, got UJ) edgewise and in ail ('til
er xvays. We must take their word
for it. There was nobody there to
see.
Trees ami shrubs, after a time, grew
up around, and tho disturbed earth
had p.uco. Then came the mountain
; winds ami tho long autumn rait)-.
Tho wind blew the sand against the
rocks, which are so soft tliut you
could dig holes in them with it jack
knife. The wearing of tho sand and
wind and water against these stony
-urfaces carved them into all sorts of
wihj and funny shapes. Ages ami
ages passed a;,ay, probably, before'
! thosx grotesque sculptures looked a*
they do now.
Here and there among the trees
rise up fantastic shapes like spires,
it.nveiß ami steeples. Some of the fan
ciful names given these are "Monle
./un,a';t Cathedral," "Cleopatra's Nee
dle," ' Washington Monument," "The
j Cathedral Fpirc s," and "NceJle
Hock."
Bui of course, the half-h'uman-look
ing objects that gave a name to this
curious garden are most likely to at
tract attention. The names by which
they are n fantastic as the 1
shapes themselves. One, a ugurc .ij'a
woman, draped and standing mourn '
fully ahme, has many names. It is '
called " Tho Motirniug Bride," "The '
Widow," "The Old Maid," and by
other titles, any ono of jvhich may '
happen to stick to the pathetic figure,)

strength and hi auty are in hi* sanctuary.'
Ihe authorship of the quoted psalm, the
preacher then eaid, was uncertain ; hut it
was an outflow of thought anticipating the
< rectum ol the temple which wai afterward
to stand forth in all it* beauty and strength.

' "f pouiegranataa, symbolic of thi

strength and beauty should bring forth

Men V at, and there the High print at
tire: in ,. pure white robes with the jew
c - .1 plate on Es breast, worshipped the
M st High in the beauty of holiness
This aubiert, the preacher said he had
Uk' n for ins diacoutse. and wished to pre
•cnt it with the view of howing it* bearing
upon the present kge. It wai a fact thai
the two thing*the world most coveted w ere
strength and beauty The Oreeks styled
the things ■'Costr,os." indicating boeutic*
It mattered nothing whether nature wa
shrouded in darkne* < r we* glorious in
ughl , the t,recks saw the spirit of beauty
in all. and called it "CVwmos. U u t true
beauty was alwayt a oeiatcd with strength,
1 !u- world was afraid of strcngtli without
beauty it excited alarm and produced fc
ver. It had also no respect for beauty
without strength. Ihere was strength in
-.be Ji.y fragile a* It might appear. When
Christ brought the handful of lilies. He
meant to set f -th that there was strength
n every lily for those who had cars to
(.car rbe strongest free in the world
w h ch no Opposition had vet been able to
withstand, *■ the f,.ree 'in Christ J,--us.
4 lie !*ilh of the Bible, t.f tho prophets,
and i f the martyr*, was the faith of the
Christian* < f to-day. The Bible wee the
!,<y to all mysteries, and wa* illuminated
thi ugh Jesus l britl ience might sln-w
wlia-. the w rid was before tho Abrebamic
pcrh d. and res.-or. h i.i eall up prehi*.
loric kingdom* over the earth ; but wb.re
were they at this day ? (ionc almost into
oblivion Tho history of those who had
-pposed the progress of Christianity might
ha called up, but where were ib. y n w
Their we*; uis as we I as their bones br.J
cruml led to duL Tiio force of all others
■a, that of £ ion. Stars had vanished

down and been I..si tf> LJ.t, mountains'
had sunk under thu sea. but despite the;
persecution*, opposition* and cruelties!
j mi ticcd toward the martyrs, th Church
•it Christ was stronger to-day than ever.'
Tho sanctuary rested on the strength of
God, who would manifest that •trcugtb *o
b to lift mankind out of ignorance, and fit
them for the temple in the skiea. The w all.-
of Solomon's temple were formed of poi-i
•shed stones put together without noise
The Kingdom of Heaven will al*oadvance
without noie, until the great day of l*, n-|
tocojt, wi.c; the corld shall be shaken a

man can count the pedisbed stone* in the!
Temple of the Living God; the numbers'
upon numbers of earnest Christian* who]
niako the wall*, the noble examples'
which form the keystone* to the arches oti
tho temnle. .Strength was in the tounda
tion ami in the w!ls All the attempts of
Centuries to inva'idate the Bible hv infi-;
tn.j sot h" had helped it in the
end. Ir.flJuliiy had only ihusuiCs for
a little; but the Rihlo in tho end ciUiin tipj
triumphant, and those whoopposi-4 ilhad'
been refuted and in many case* converted j
by the poweroClho HolvGhoiL In thisage'
oi controversy the surc'book of 1,800 years'-
1 ad not been assailed by any new theories ]
*hc fashionable| infidelity of to-day was
nothing but a revival oj old legalism.'
The Bible would not be cast down during
the present iigo. Error always die* or
changes iu form; but truth never dies and
never change*.
Tho beauty of Zion was tho beauty of
God Tiie world in general worshiped a
monstrous god—one of revenge, lust and
oilier vile | unions; in fact, the devil wor
•hip was prevalent. Men feared God and
i.. idi ' Hiir or aought to buy a propitia
tion f>r their n.,. iho t 1 :..e ■an ! the
ancient Greeks sacfllcod to a vengeful)
(Jod, while others bought redemption'
through a purgatory, lint the true God,
which should be worshiped, had tho attri
hut) -of everything that wn- lovely After
all, that human character has to be looked
into tor the highest expression of strength
and beauty. The Greek Appollowas the
perfection of Grecian nrt a perfect ideal
c.'; rod- but the character was defiled
with tins. pleruulss tl.e rrprcscnta
live of all that w as powerful and beautiful
in strength but ho was a monster of im
morality. The only perfect man of to
day in all this world's history was Jesus
Christ. In many respects lie could not
be compared with Hercules, Apollo orthc
great warriors; but bo idealizes not only
the human frame, but that combination of
|oelltio*. strength of will, undeistanding,
*tle< lion, and yi pi. thv. Analyse nil
these and a sublimity of beauty vopld be,
found in the hurniuiiious strength of the
iioblo qualities. After reading the pro-]
durlion of poets, the history ol heroes, Ac.
there was but one acknowledged King
Jo-us Christ. Those frailties which weak
ened man al.nosl to deformity were the
opposite* to the attributes of Christ. Love
was trciig b"t hate wns weak, generosity
was I sauUio, iiu. icyuoge d malice wore
ugly ; hcntvoleai o aha charity were di-
VIIIO; while solllshiio-s and avarice word
the exact opposite. Strength and beauty
were entwined in the sanctuary of to-day
and the best wealth could only bo found
therein. Whore el-e, in times of borcave
iiiont and sorrow, could he found that
strength WHICH uiinoled tho triumphant
conquest to bo won So with tho Seasons.
The Spring brings forth lloral beauty, in
order that, after tho Summer song, the
strength of the Autumn truitsand golden
Holds could bo found in the harvest. The
lily of the Spring brought fortli the
pomegranates of Summer, to be followed
by the glorious Strength of the Autumn.
The preacher then urged his hearers to
seek for Ihqt strength which could only be
found in the beauty of holiness set forth
by Jesus Christ; to be strong as a rock und
yet as beautiful as the flower that clung to
it ; to bo strong in the faith and yet as geu-j
tie as the bird thut caroled the glory o.
God.
