Wt; take great pleasure in transfer

cle from tlio IW'V// on the
new delegate system proposed by the
County Committee. We have rea
son to know, by a free inter
change of views, personally and by let

represents the sentiments of a large
majority of the “lower end” Demo
crats.

properly test the matter, the election should

I he primary election in August, when a full and

was adopted ;(h!i nullity! <inam.unVkduTe-.hort*

We dp not of'.ieet to changing the sv-fcni.--
Improvetneiils .•an doubth-.-s -i, v made' on the
Trawford County tint that is no tcas.m
why we should art hastily, let us take tune* to
consider this mat ter. ami thus he enabled to in r
fe-ct a s\ Mem »(•<■,.ptahle to the entire* body of
the demociacy of tin* County—one Ibul will
steadily Inenasc mir majority, and maintain
peace ami harmony within our ranks. What
we do now should he* for (lie best interests o( the*
Democratic paily, and not for the bem-11l of any
one man, or cli«iue of men This system should
be closely set ulinlzed by Democrats, ami if not
hee horn objections U should be rejected.
Last week we urged 'U,mt it was un
wise hastily Id do away with a system
under which our majority had boon in
creased tliree hundred votes in one
year—that a convention composed of
eighty-nine votes, as is proposed hy
the new system, would ho cumbersome
and unwieldy—that a .Standing Com
mittee of half (lie size ’Of the present
committee would accomplish more
work than one nearly twice as large, as
is now-proposed—(hat it was absurd in
theory, and dangerous in practice to
permit fho Chairman of tin: County
Committee to cafechi.se any nominee of
the party. Theso arguments liavb thus
far been uueontroverted, and we be
lieve (hern to ho incontrovertible.
The glaring injustice of the new sys
tem is apparent at a single glance.—
For instance, Shippenshurg township,
Nowhurg and New Cumberland, frith
IV Democratic vote, all told, of lull, have
she delegates in the convention, while
tile EiTsrWTWdWfTjJarlisle with three
hundred and/iflj/-une cotes, has only, tire
delegates, the West Ward with two
hundred and forty-two roles has only
/our delegates, .South Middleton with
three hundred and hecnli/ two roles has
only Jire delegates; .Silver Spring witli
three hundred and si.rh/-si.r voles lias
only Jire delegates, and Milllin with
tiro hundred and hreu/i/ Jire roles lias
only four delegates, if ono hundred
men are entitled lo six delegates, three
hundred men ought lo ho entitled to
eighteen delegates. There is no valid
reason why one Democratic vote in
Shippenshurg township, Newhnrg or
Kew Cumberland should count as
much in forming our. county .ticket as
three or four Democratic votes in Car
lisle, or .Smith Middleton, or Silver
* Spring or Mtillin'. We hclicvoinrtoing
full justice to the smaller townships,
but we nro nut willing to admit . Ripi
their Democracy is three times
than thoso;who live.in-the Dofriocfatic
strong holds.
There is Tin objection which hohfs,,
good against nil convention systems,
and Unit is that in voting for delegates
yon express yonr choiee only for one
otUcc.ou the ticket. This is a dUUcnUy i
wo experience every year in Carlisle, i
To illustrate; John' Jonesofyourtown
sliip’is a candidatofor Shorin'. Even if
you wished to vote against hini, yod
eimnot do so, because tlic township is
considered Ids by right; ids delegates
are the only ones in the Held, and. they
are Ids absolutely, to bo traded off in
any way that will secure his nomina
tion. Now these- same delegates may
lie opposed to the person who is yunr
choice for Assembly, nnd in voting for
one friend yon vote directly against
the other -sin fact the-same objection
holds good iii regard to the entire ticket
anil in voting for one friend yon may ~
vole against a dozen others. Under
the Crawford • County System every
citizen lias ah opportunity to express
iris preference for every olilcc on tire
ticket, and cannot be cheated out of Iris
I vote by dishonest delegates who can.be
1 bought up like sheep in the shambles.
As suggested i).v an esteemed corres
pondent, this scheme has not been
thoroughly digested.' ft is crude, in
consistent, and incomplete from hegin
. JUlUlllLfJUlj-atl'JJtJbliliik- 1 * lciu '
us into a wilderness of ' troubles, from
■ which we can only ire extricat d by
another .change. Onr 'correspondent
says : “The ■ 'ommiltee have omitted to
prescribe any mode for returning the
.votes. It is not specified, who shall act
as return judges, how the returns shall
ire certified, nor when and' where the
Judges shall meet. Such, a serious oh
jection, it strikes me, jwoves fatal to
the whole scheme.” This is hut exam
ple of, (he want .of judgment and fore
sight which characterises the entire plan
submitted by the County Committee.,
There seems to bo growing up in onr
party a restless desire, for contention,
excitement and innovation, which is
not prompted by the best motives, and
bodes no good for' the future. The
llames of discord are fanned by leaders
of factions, who. hope through this
means lo accomplish their selfish pur
poses. To use’a common illustration,
wo luivo been in hot water for two or
throe years past. Now there is a large
body of men, who have no political as
pirations to gratify--mcn of clear heads
and just judgment—who can settle this
bickering at once, if .they will. If they
think tiro proposed system will work
well, lot them go to the polls and vote
for it; but if they believe the “Crawford

proposed, lot them vote down the new
system by such a decisive majority as
will set the question at rest for all time
to come. It will not do to stay away
from the polls and then complain that
things are not done to pur satisfaction.
The submission of this question to.a di
rect vote of the people is the clearest
recognition of the very principle under
lying the Crawford County System, and
it is the dati/ ofevery Democratic voter
to record his voice on one side oV the
other. On this large class of men, we
say, depends the decision, and with
that verdict we will he_satisftod.

The state Treasury- —Tlie in
vestigayon now going on at Harrisburg
with reference, to tlio management of
the State Treasury, since It lias been
in Radical bands, bus made some start
.ling disclosures. Last week when Mr.
Thomas Nicholson, present Cashier of
me rsfnru irvasm,., .vas ueiure tue com
mittee, the vault account of tiro great
Stale of Pennsylvania consisted of $7OOO
.in money,'Soli in Clearfield Rank notes
and $-100 in other funds. He testified
that there was a difference between real
and apparent balances of sometimes
hen and Hirer hundred thousand dollars.
Ho declared that rrcnj dollar in Ihe Slate
Treasury; and a mHHoi. anda.hatf in ad
dition, belonged 10-t/ie sinldng fund ami
that the large appropriation for soldiers',
orphans and common schools had eaten
into this fund. People of Pennsylvania,
this is the way your State Treasury is
managed.' Tims have these Radicals,
who boast of tlio economy with which
they have nunaged the finances, abstract
ed from the Kinking l-’niid more than a
million and a half dollars, and been
using it for purposes of speculating. In
stead ofappropriating it io tlio redact
ion of the public debt, to which-it is in
fotxtlor.l fn Do npplioil. IDoy luiva boon
managing it for the purpose of swelling
their own private fortunes. Is il not
high lime that these Radicals should
lie turned out of power?
The Fulton Republican—Ww organ of
the Republicans of Fulton county—
gives our quondam friend Forney a
tone): on the “ raw.” Forney, in ids
Press, objects to the passage of the bill
now hofore the Legislature which pro
vides for the relief of the people of the
bordercounties, who had their property
destroyed during the Rebel raid The
HrpuMican says to -Forney, in reply to.
ids strictures:
“ Did John \V. Forney give a son or
two? Did lie have the Chronh tc de
stroyed and ask no compensation ?
Did lie do alt Ids advertisements in the
Chroiilclo and Press for nothing during
tin* war? If not, gratuitous advice is
not at, par- in this county. ff Join:
W, Forney wilt pay some of the money
ho stoic Iron: .the Government during
the war a good portion of tin: claims
could he paid*.”
“ Now, don't do that any more,” Mr.
Republican. This tiling of tolling the
truth will not do; if persisted in the
“trooiy 101 l ”, party burst up. Is
it not strange that as s on as Radicals
quarrel, they' always call each oilier
thieves? Tiny know who stole the
poopUds-monny-during- the .war-.
A ItAinc'.v t. member of (lie Ohio Leg
islature has been arrested and hold to
bail for passing connlciTeit money. The
present session has not proved to he a
profitable one, and In the absence of
bribes lie was forced to more desperate
expedients for raising (lie wind. Wo
should not be surprised to hear that
some loyal member of the Pennsylva
nia Legislature had resorted to a similar
dodge. Times are said to ho a little
tight at Harrisburg and living, ns is (ho
custom there now, is decidedly expen
sive.
Oi'FiciAt, notifications from all the

Kills providing for the following ap
propriations have,been read in the U.
States Senate, viz:
$l,OOO a year, for life, to Mrs. Lincoln
,43,0110 to Mrs. Edwin M. Stanton !
$-’>o,ooo to the poor ncyroc.t of Washing
ton City t
' Abraham Lincoln died, it will lie re
membered, worth about one hundred
thousand dollars. . During ids adminis
tration, ins wife and children had man
aged to receive a great many “presents”
(mm jolly contractors—many of them
very valuable. When Mis. Lincoln left
the White House she stripped it of ev
ery thing valuable Unit it contained. So
Thad Stevens said. It is safe to say,
therefore, that the Lincolns left Wash
ington-worth one hundred and fifty or
two hundred thousand dollars. And
yot, notwithstanding tho -burthens that
are upon tho people— notwithstanding
the onerous nnd oppressive taxation
that is imposed upon them—onr “loyal”
Senators propose to give tjie rich Mrs.
Lincoln $2,000 a year for life! The pour
widow who lust her husband in the war,
and who is now compelled to make her
living at the wash-tub‘or with 'the
noodle; gets—nothing!
Eight thousand dollars to Mrs. Stan
ton! For what, pray V , At his death'
Mr. stantem was a private citizen—he
hold no position under the government;
he was wort!:, it i- asserted, some sixtx
thousand dollars. Since ills death his
friends I ex-contractors and others,) have
raised for Iris family Sl.jl),doo. He had
an insurance on his life {we see it stat
ed), for $1(1,001), hut the Company in
’which"' ho was insured refuse to pay,
because of the impression that prevails
that he committed suicide. Leaving
the 410,000 out of the count then, .Mrs.,
Staiuon is worth 1 to-day two hundred
and ten thousand dollars. And site is
to receive as a bequest from the people’s
treasury $3,000 ! How thoughtful are
our law makers of the vivh ? 1 f our
Radical members of - want io
lavish money upon ri li widow-, let
each one appropriate a few thousand
from iris own stealings. As a tax payer
wo protest against appropriating one
cent of tlio public, money lo objects like
these.
Thirty thousand dollars to the vaga
bond negroes of Washington ! /These
negroes, for the most part, are strapping
follows. abundantly able but, too lazy
to make thou- own living. . They-wre
induced to hang about Washington to
do the voting for tlio Radical thieves
in that' city. . They are kept there at
Government expense to vote down the
veal citizens of Washington, During a
recent visit to the Capitol, we noticed
hundreds of these negroes lounging and
sleeping in the galleries of the two'
Houses-. And to these worthless blacks
thirty thousand dollars of the people’s
money is to be voted ! Not a.cent to
poor whites, but $30,000 to lazy negroes,
who vote the Radical ticket! Weil,
well. Perhaps the people will get their
eyes open affer a year or so more to tlio
villainies that are practiced upon them.
If they continue dormant, however,
and permit this Radical negro-party to
continue its assn nits upon white men,
and to usd tlio public treasury for party
purposes, then they are slaves, degen
erate sons of noble ancestors, and dis
finnlidod 1 n lie ;b,> .m-iwlmna er a fi-eA
people.
HOW THE “LOIIHADE HOSET
To limit down and capture Jefferson
Davis, after (ho surrender of Lee, cost
the Government $lOO,OOO. His impris
onment and court charges cost $75,000
more, and then lie wassot free, and the
song, ‘‘we’ll hang Jeff Davis on a sour
apple tree.” was no longer sung in the
parlors of tire “ loil.” Davis’ persecu
tors, wore afraid to try him on the charge
of treason or on any other charge, be
cause (hoy discovered that Stanton,
Butler, Ijpgan, ami several other prom
inent Radicals would ho summoned hy
Davis as witnesses, These “loil” beau
ties had boon Davis’ advisors before
hostilities broke out; they had all been
“ rebels,” hut backed out just in time.
Tho capture of John H. Surrat cost
the Government something like *200,-
OHO. XXo v/fcV.l u.u Isxwoo&ni, of complicity 111
tho assassination of Lincoln as tho child
tinhorn, hut yet certain .Radicals had
demanded Ids blood. They had mur
dered, his mother, and they wanted to
murder him. But their’hearts failed
them, and after a good deal of quibbling
and wiggling, he too was set at liberty.
Bui, notwithstanding tho Radical
blond-hounds wore-afraid to shed tho
blood of either Davis or Surrat, they.
Yankee-like, by arresting them, made
a good pile of greenbacks. Some four
hundred thousand dollars were divided
by the fifteen or twenty “loyal thieves”
who had been engaged in bunting down
. these two “ arch rebels.” Tho job paid
well, therefore. Money making was
Die grand object Radical loaders had in
view during the “ rebellion,” and our
“ trooiy loil” patriots who had arrested
, Davis and Surrat, had made their pile.
They wore satisfied, indeed gratified
with the result. They had accomplish
ed their object, and that was fiio most
they eared for.'
Would that a true history of tho “ re
bellion”. fionid ho iiad. What villain
ies, robberies, debaucheries and crimes
would he exposed ! But this history or
exposure will never bo written. Official
documents have boon destroyed, Lin
coln, Stanton, Jim Lane and others are
dead, and it will bo utterly impossible
to ever got at the records of thnJ.inmlii
admhristration’. But certain it is, it was
tlio most corrupt, most demoralizing,
most villainous administration that ever
eur-ed a government. Two-thirds of
our national debt isstoicn money. Even
Greeley admits this; and the fact Hint
every prominent man of the Radical
negro party, and nearly every one who
bold high position, civil or military, is
now immensely wealthy, is proof posi
tive that the people are to-day paying
taxes that a set of cormorants may lice
in office and luxury.
Ekiutkic.v millions of dollars have
been added lo tho Shite debt of North
Carolina, and nothing given in return.
Facts like these, and they are seen in
tjlputli Carolina, Florida, Alabama,
Tbxiw.atlcf.SlSowboro, in kind, if not in
degrcei show the ntter incoinpotcncy ol
tlie Radicals for State or Federal gov
ernment. *

lature and ratifying tlm XVth Amend
ment
Till! ( KOIVSIXG ACT
General Boiij. E. Butler was formally
nomlmitod for the next Presidency at u
meeting of negroes of Washington city,
n few nights ago. Several of the “wards
of tho nation” made fiprceAci'on tlic
occasion, eulogistic of Butler, and not
very complimentary to tho smoker of
the* White House. After the meeting
laid adjourned,-the negro hand seroiimL
ed Butler at his residence, , Tho Beast
made a speech—short and sweet, tiled a’
roasted maggot—from which wo take
tho following extract:
“Mv friends, gentlemen —f have tossy
that the crowning net for which you
fought has been accomplished.- .The fif
teenth amendment is practically ratified;
tlie freedom of all has been secured with
out distinction of race and color, [lend
applause] and the grand spectacle, winch
-is the consummation of the work of the
fifteenth amendment, has been just wit
nessed in the admission of a necro as a
Seimtorof tho United States. Gentlemen.,
that is the crowning act.of the great, and
noble work ; the grand object for which
the war was prosecuted.”
Thu election of a negro to the t'nitod
States Senate is “ tho crowning net of
tho great and noble work,” (the war,)
and. this (the elevation of tho negro
Revels,) was “ the grant! object for which
the war was prosecuted!" -So says But
ler, and lie speaks God’s truth. B hen
the war was being “prosecuted,” wo
stated these same facts in the columns
of the Volunteer, and for doing so our
oliice was mobbed (in the night'and. in
our absence,) and torn to pieces by a set
of cowards who called themselves sol
diers,'hut who, when they wore brought
into the field and for .the- first time
looked upon live “ rebels,” ran to die
rear ns fast as- tnoir coward legs could
carry, thpm. -Gen. Rnsccrans had'these
hounds'arrested, and for several weeks
'confined them in a Inigo smoko house,'
ami then dLinisscd Bicni and told them
to run home to their anxious mammas.
I hey were the .-mis of tlie “ trooiy ioil,”
or they .would have been shot fi*) they
deserved. But, wo.nro digressing.
Thc.iy/'iim/o.'i/iY'foftlip war then—“tho
crowning act”—has been accomplished.
A negro i- a member of the U. States
Senate, and this was “thegrand object
for which the war was -prosecuted.”
Revels, the Qhio negro-t-a mean speci-
men at that—is now a Senator, at a cost
of three thousand million dollars and
the lives of nearly a million of white
men! ‘Think of that, ye Boys in Blue;”
count tlie cost of this negro’s el aval ion
i„ ~ i; nure nui uSpnc u, ,
think of it, yo crippled organ grinders
and maimed supplicants tor menial po
sitions-, ' think of it, yo fathers whose
sons, in tiro flush of manhood, wore cut
down in-hattlc.; think of it, we say, and
then, on tho second Tuesday of October
next, walk up to the polls, and vote side
by side with negroes, and.thus endorse
tlie sentiments of tho great leader of the
Radical party—Ben Butler.
For ivmkingthesamo declaration that
Butler now makes, scores of editors and
speakers were cast into forts ami pris
ons by the infamous Stanton ; scores of
printin'? offices were destroyed, and
scores of public meetings assaulted and
dispersed by lire hirelings of the Lin
coln administration. The second year
of the war revealed its objects, and we
then, in these columns, pointed out
what those objects were, viz: the eleva
tion of the negro to an equality with
white men, the enriching of Radical
leaders, political supremacy, disfran
chisement, corruption, taxes. These
were “thegrand objects for which the
war was prosecuted.” 11 Our glorious
Union” was about the last thing thought
of by Lincoln and the New England
traitors who wore his aiders and abet
tor,s. Greeley, the lending administra
tion editor, had, on a dozen'occasions,
advised a dissolution of the Union ;
Lincoln himself had'made a speech in
Congress in favor of dissolution ; Sum
ner, Wilson, Banks, and indeed Ihe
whole Abolition faction in the New
England States,' had signed petitions
over and over again, demanding a dis
solution of the Union. Many of their
ancestors had boon traitors in tlio wn*
for Independence and the war of 1812,
It was not natural to suppose, then, that
tlic.se men—thesp meddlesome AbolL
tiouisls, who had so long prayed for
a dissolution of the Union—could see
anything very nttmuiivn i n Q *<
Union.” No, no—they cared nothing
about the Union—they were willing* to
“let the Union slide”—but they did
care for political power and yearned for
negro equality. They have got both,
and now Butler, the spoon thief leader
of their treasonable party, tells us that
negro equality was “the grand object
for which the .war was prosecuted.”
That is the truth, and Butler is .not
afraid to avow it. Soltih !
In response to a floral offering tender
ed him bv n lady nt the govpmmont
printing oflloe yesterday, the President
blushed,-bowed and retired; but when
he pot out of sight of the ladles ho re
marked: “if I had been Johnson I
should have made a speech.” —Letter from'
Washington,
True enough. Had Grant been An
drew Johnson or any other
he'would have thanked the lady at least.
But Grant is not Johnson a hit more
than a buzzard is an eagle, Johnson is
one of the most extraordinary, men
this country over produced. He is* a
most powerful speaker, a far-seeing
statesman, as bold as a lion, and self

Tim now Tariff Bill, as reported to
Congress by thecommlttcoof Wavs and
Means, makes no reduction of tho duly
■oh coal. It was justly expected by the
people that this article of prime neces
sity to poor men would bo relieved of
at least a portion of tho tax upon it to
pamper tlio wealthy nabobs of tho land.
The duty on a tun of -coal is one dollar
and twenty-five cents, hence tlio poor
man who buys a tun pays just that sum
to support a class of men who are roll
ing in affluence and luxury. There is
no complication about tin's-matter, and
everyone who buys coal knows, to tho
cent what ho pays for “protection”—so
far at least as tho article of coal is con
corned.

“Bat a'beggar on horseback .and tie
.wilt rido.to tiio.dovil,” says tho Spanish
proverb, and the tax payers of the coun
try are daily seeing it verified in tlie
scandalous mismanagement and reckless
extravagance of --the “man on horse
back,” who is tho head of the present
administration. As tho greatest and
most notorious spendthrifts are usually
those upon whom sudden riches have
hceii unexpectedly thrust, raising them
in a day from squalor to afllucnce, so in
the case of tho individual who occupies
thcchair of tho Chief Executive Of those
Slates pinned together by bayonets, wo
find ono who, after threading all the
mazes of a poverty .that were not oven
respectable, dating from his disgraceful
dismissal from the army and Ids pro
prietorship of a billiard saloon in San
Francisco, tip lo flip time when ho, on
commission, bought pork and hides in
a little..town in lowa, and who at last
found' iiiinself/hy a freak of fortune,
elevated from ono position to another, ■
until by means too well known to need
discussing, 1m become the occupant of
the Presidential chair.
.In assuming the duties of President,
ids inaugural spcecli promised very
fairly,'imd people hoped that he, who
had’ail his life moved in an humble,
sphere, would conduct Ids administra
tion in. a plain, economical, Democratic
manner. It was .hoped that lie would
model after the primitive simplicity
and -freedom from ostentatious show
and formality that characterized the ad
ministrations of Jhckson, Pierce, and
Buchanan, and that the extra expense
of Mr. Lincoln’s administration, -ren
dered necessary by the largely increased
clerical force during tho war, would be
abolished and a system of rigid economy
adopted in its place. But instead of.
this; a directly opposite.course has been
adopted. All the flummeries of a royal
court; with liveried lackeys and white
giov'ed ushers, troops of secretaries and
doorkeepers, watchmen, etc., etc., have
taken the place of the plain, old time
manners of tho White House, Grant’s
talk of' economy in his message, was
and is nothing but talk, a cunningly
devised fable, to tickle tho public ear
iinddivJoi-(-..ii.t.f>ntion from ins own short
comings. The current expenses of tho
White Houso during tho years 18R2 and
18G3, under Mr. Lincoln, were, including
the President’s salary, $3-1,530, while
Grant’s for the years 1870 and 1871,.wi1l
reach tho enormous figure of $133,800,
an excess over tho former of 808,330,
which is an increase of $3BO per day!
And all this in a time of profound pence!
Think of it, tax payers !*-tho man who,
but a few years ago, could scarcely cut
and sell wood enough to keep himself in
tobacco and whiskey, now spends, an
nually, $132,800 of your money 1

While it may bo safely assumed that
Western railroads, running 1 through
thickly settled portions of the rich
Western States, will ha\’e largely pay
ing business, there must necessarily bo
a great difference in the amount which
w ill have to be deducted from gross earn
ings for operatingexponses and construc
tion repairs. It is of especial impor"
tahee, therefore, for investors to know
how the roiffijs built upon whichnloan
'is being negotiated. Wc have been
interested in noting some of the details
concerning the construction of the Chica
go, Danville & Vincennes Railroad, now
in operation from Chicago to Momence,
~15 miles, and soon to bo extended to
Danville. The road-bed is solid add of
extra width; and the culverts, bridges,
&a., of a character for many years wear.
Upon this, white oak lies are laid to the
usual number of 2,800 to the mile. The
rails are of the best quality and weigh
ing 50 pounds to the yard, and these
rails are secured by fish joints. It is.
evident that such a railroad will need
but little repair for many years to come,
and that it can transact its rapidly in
creasing business without the corres
ponding outlay which most now roads
rennivr. na soon os they obtain the busi
rioss which their projectors anticipate.
Upon this road_ thus constructed, the
Company ai;e.solling First Mortage 7 per
cent. Gold Bonds, having 10 years to
run, interests payable semi-annually.
The sales have been large, and
the Company has Aeon purchasing
materials for the extension and equip
ment. Among these purchases are SO,
000 oak ties, 0,000 tons of rails,, 20 loco
motives, 1.00 freight ears, andptherarti
oles in proportion. The road has an
assurance of large ami profitable trnflic,
both from the local trade and from the
carrying of coal and iron from the
points of their production along the line
to Chicago, where they aro steady de
mand. The Bonds are for 18,000 to (ho
mile only, and at present price of gold
they pay nearly 10 per cent, upon the
investment. , -
A handsome profit may bo realized
by the exchange of Governments for
thoir equally secure ami more profitable
Bonds.
Interesting information concerning
the road and its Bonds may bo had of the

Senator Morrow B, Lowry, of the
State Senate, an out-and-out “Republi

and a Lowry in (he Senate, and the con
sequence is that some rich tales are be
ing told out of the Radical School.
They have bad a negro ‘‘minister” in
Washington for some time. His name
is Tate, and lie professed to represent
tlio government of Hnyti. Great fuss
was made by tlio Radicals over tlio
event of hjs arrival,—tlio “first negro
foreign minister over received in tTiis
country.” Taking advantage of (lie
furor lie bought tho ram Atlanta from
our government on credit Now ids

Of all tlio outrages perpetrated upon
a conquered people, by an unrelenting,
conqueror, history does not record a
morp dastardly ,oyoi committed against
a bravo'people, than that which “ioil”
men call “reconstruction”—that politi
cal enormity which has filled tho halls
of Congress with the mean wretches
who now misrepresent the South,

Newbmg, New Cumberland and Sllip

that 300 Democratic voles polled hero are
not even equal to 109 votes polled else

Messrs. Bratton & Kennedy .-—Gentle
men.: I desire to call your attention to
a fatal objection to the election ordered
by the County Committee to bo held on
tbelOth iriat., which you have overlooked,
or at least have failed to mention. The
Committee have failed to prescribe any
mode for returning the votes. It is not
specified who shall, act ns return judges,
how the returns shall, be certified, nor
when and where, the judges shall .meet.
Such a serious objection, it strikes me,
proves fatal to the whole scheme, for an
election from which there are no legiti
mate returns is a mere nullity, The
position taken by the Volunteer and the
j fallen Democrat are heartily endorsed
by a large majority-of the Democrats of
this vicinity. W.
FROM SOUTH MIDDLETON. .
Messrs. Bratton Kennedy— Gents :
In looking over the .action of the stand
ing Committee, it strikes mo, as a Demo
crat, that that action of the Committee
was unwarranted and. presumptuous.—
They.presume for the party in this coun
ty, to sot aside so decided an expression
of the popular will ns was manifested in
the adoption of the Crawford County
System, after the system proving such a
decided success in Increasing the majori
ty of. “Old Mother Cumberland” from
400 to 500 to nearly 3,000. as ivas the case
last fa'll. I can not see, for the life of me,
why, in the faceof all this, the Committee
are attempting usurpations not warranted
and wholly unnecessary. The nomina
tions last full, were the nominations of
the whole people,- and I can not really,
for a moment conceive of any good to bo
derived from .this new agitation, but on
'the contrary it will be calculated to injure
the organization of tho»party and estab
lish a precedent that whenever one be
comes disatislied or defeated that then
the defeated one will attempt to set up a
new theory or system} regardless of the
interests of the people, ami. thus keep the
party in a continual excitement that will
eventually overthrow the organization
in this county. Ido most earnestly de
sire to see the people rise in their might
and at the cdtoiog election rebuke the
Committee in such an unmistakcuble
manner as to show to the world that the
Democracy-of Old Mother .'Cumberland
arc opposed to usurpation and are, per-
IVotly satisfied with a system that, by ex
perience has been fraught with such
benefits as the Crawford County {System.

Washington, March 25, IS7O.
There was an unexpected scene at Mrs. Grant’s
reception on tlio afternoon of the22d. It was
by far the largest and most brilliant of any given
thlaseason, The whole suite of gorgeously fur
nished rooms was crowded with people. The
living tide was surging and tossing with-old
timed restlessness through the channels marked
out by the -four rooms and -the long corridor
thrown Open on occasions of ceremony such ns
this. Tho reception was at Its height, when a
carriage, drawn by two white horses, drove up
to the door. From it descended a pale, delicate
looking woman, leaning on flic arm of n hand
some man wltu a decided military bearing.—
They slowly entered the outer door and entered
the "vestibule. A passage opened for tbcm,
where others found only an Impassable barrier.
An audible “hush” ran through the Immense
throng. Teoplo In front whispered hurriedly to
those behind. The moment the distinguished
persons had passed, the open space filled up ns
if by magic, and there was a violent and rather
unceremonious pushing to the front. As soon
as the President and his wife noticed the ap
proash of the lady, and gentleman, with more
than usual courtesy they stepped forward to
welcome them ; and as the President took the
hand of the gentleman, the names of General
and .Mrs. Geo. B. McClellan were whispered
from mouth to mouth throughout the vast
throng. Then began a scene long to be re
membered, and.one which the present incum
bents of the White House will never forget. The
people .seemed to forget the members of tlio
Presidential household, or If they did remember
them, they didn’t care to show It, The’scene of
the reception was shifted,and the Pre'sldentnnd
his visitors hud suddenly changed places.—
General and Mrs. McClellan were for. the time
being (he President.and his wife, and General
and Mrs. Grant were more outsiders. Everybody
wanted to bo presented to General McClellan
and his accomplished lady ; and more than a
dozen gentlemen remarked, as they turhed
away,.“ there la the Inau.who ought to have
been President.’’ • Grant grinned and plucked
his beard, ami'boro lias best he could, until
General McClellan quitted the room, completely
worn out by the hand-snaking ho had .under
gone. •
Now that Wo are at.tho White- House, It may
not bo amiss to lot tbo people know what all
this regal magnificence costs the country.—
Many persons think the President, draws his
$25,000 in.gold per annum, and this Is all the ex -
ponse wo are at for maintaining “the manat
the other end of the avenue.” But hero ish brief
abstract of the estimated expenses of the White
House, for.the next year, taken from the appro
priation bill now under consideration In the
House, and ns the real expenses generally ex
ceed tho estimated expenses by about $25,000 ii
year, you may get n. tolerably correct idea, of
