THE DOWNWARD TENDENOY.
That onr country has a downward
tendency, and that our people are
rapidly degenerating, will be admitted
by every candid'and observing'man.
Our character as a people is tarnished,
and the name “ America” has become
a and reproach throughout
Christendom. As a people ,we are
regarded by all Europe as a set ot un
principled men grasping, (hewing,
Yankees, who are not to bo trusted in
any capacity. Of course this is a Inirsh
conclusion for strangers to arrive at,
and, wo may say, to a certain extent,
an erroneous one, but yet wo cannot
complian, for, in the byes of those who
are watching us, and who have pro
nounced onr" form of 1 government a
failure, we are Judged by the character
and acts of onr public men. The
masses may still bo honest, but yet if
they will elevate demagogues and ras
cals to high oliicial positions,'it is natu
ral for strangers to come to the conchi
sion that a majority of our people are
corrupt, venal and low.
Compare our,country now- to what it
was bat a few year! ago—say tlftoen or
twenty years. What a change 1 Then,
with perbap.sjnie single exception, not
a IJ. >S. Senator had obtained his scat
by bribery. Look at the Senate now.
One-third its members mere snitUing
politicians, wlm obtained their places
by money. And the character of the
men—oh, what a change! One-half
the Southern States represented, no,
misrepresented, by low-bred men from
the North, whose, object and aim it .is
to harrass and cripple the South in
every possible way. 1 These carpet
baggers and -thieves occupy seals ob
tained through tho intlnence of green
backs or bayonets. John Patterson, of
Juniata county, this State, Senator for
South Carolina! Ames of Massachu
setts, Senator for Mississippi, and so
on. In the House, too, it is ennally
bad, many members having crept into
that body against the almost unani
mous protest-ot the tax payers of the
districts they pretend to represent, but
which they intentionally misrepresent.
What a Senate !—what a House !
. But,our country has a downward
in all its departments. Twenty years
ago would any sane man have thought
of making such u creature as Grant
President of the United States? No,
no. Then we wanted greatness—a man
of ability and integrity—at the helm of
State. Now, a majority of our people
want a weak and corrupt man in this
one b high position, that they may use
him for their own purposes. Look at
our country. One sovereign State res
cued by force from the hands of its
legally elected officers, and a set of
villainous usurpers, thieves and trait
ors placed in power! Three or four
oilier States governed or misgoverned
by ignorant negroes, who can bo bought
every day of the week for a few dollars
to betray ’.he people! One-half of the
members of Congress investigating the
villainies of the other hatfl The late
aud present V'ice President convicted
of stealing, bribery and perjury! Bal
lot-box stuifers and murderers pardon
ed because they belong to “the party !”
Defalcations of office-holders every
day ! Grant himself becoming myste
riously wealthy—estimated at three ox
four millions of dollars! The salaries
of ali oifice-h alders doubled, and
general demoralization all over the
country. This is Kadk-aiism. Whither
are we drifting? Will the people
never get their eyes open? Will they
not be convinced that, their votes
give sanction to these outrages and
villainies? Let them relied, and we
think'they will agree with ns that it is
time we should get rid of Ihe Kadacal-
Credit-Mobilier parly. So mote it ho.
A Word of Warning.
We regret to si*“ some of Die South
ern papers advising Die people of
Louisiana to rise against their oppres
sors. This is just what the Unheals
waut them to tin. ff the Philistines
had known that when Sampson’s hair
grew' again, lie would lie able in in
volve them in a common destruction
with liim-ielf, they woui 1 never have
given him a chanco to obtain,ven
geance for ids wrongs. 'idle tyrants
who crush the South feel Dial their
work Is only hail' done, and would lie
frantic witli delight to have some
pretext for beginning it again. The
next opportunity, ii it comes Soon
enough, tlfey intend to exterminate
the whole race. The horrors of St.
Domingo will lie renewed and intensi
fied a hundred fold. For Die sake of
the women and children of the South,
we invoke such Southern papers as
indulge in Die loutish war-gabble to
stop their suicidial nonsense.
The despotism from’ which Louisi
ana sutlers is horrible, hut resistance is
impossible. The South cannot draw
Dio sword except to cut its own throat.
It will lie better for humanity and for
liberty if the United States Constitution
can lie so restored Dial there shall lie
one confederacy in this country, instead
of (wo, everlastingly at strife and war.

THE' ONE-TERM PRINCIPLE.
Wo favor tho proposition to extend
the Presidential term of oltlce to six
years, and in that ease mukc the in
cumbent ineligible lor at least tiro next
succeeding term. It ,must,have been
generally remarked that every man
who lias of late years become a candi
date for the Presidency of the United
States, protests, in advance of his elec
tion, that he dues not de-ire and will
not under any circumstances, consent
to hold the office beyond a single term.
It must, at the sumo time, have been
observed that this repugnance ol
Presidential candidates to a second term
vanishes when .the first lias been se
cured. From this it may bo inferred
that it is easier to reluso power and
position before they are attained,-than
it is to relinquish them afterward.—
Moreover, it is quite probable that
none who profess tin unwillingness to
endure the burden of" Executive re
sponsibility longer than four years, are
over really sincere in their profession,
or else that the sweets of'authority,
when once tasted, are able to overcome,
the sternest, antipathy to public cares
and lienors.
But be all this as it may,'experience
amply attests tlmt nobody now-a-days
is satislied with the perplexities of
Presidential service short of any period
for which the office may bo possibly
and legally held. Even President
Grant, if wo mistake not, once avowed
his aversion to the re-eligibility of the
President for a second term of service;
but be, like many of his predecessors,
has yielded that prejudice of Ins anti-
Presidential experience,, to the fasci
nating chirms of the “ White House,”
and-the still more intoxicating bland-'
ishments of power. His conduct since
his first inauguration lias been appar
ently governed by a wish to protract
his tenure of the high and mighty
functions he exercises, and however
much ho has erred in many of the de
vices and means, particularly military
and other interference with the free
dom and honesty of elections in all
parts of the country, but especially In
the South, to increase and confirm bis
chances of a. re-election., it seems im
possible to account for tho monstrous
blunders and even crimes of his ad
ministration, except upon the theory
that he was ready and eager to sacri
fice the dictates of so much of con
science and understanding as ho may
possess, to tho miserable calculations of
a low-flung, because purely selfish
ambition. Had lie been actuated only
by a lofty and self-forgetting patriotism
we think wo can see how easily tie
might, as the head ol the government
during the last four years, have used
his opportunities for the lasting good
of the nation as well as own repu
tation. But for the sake of a re-elec
tion he obviously violated the obliga
tions of his office, in order to subserve
the intrigues of the politician, and in
his etfort to achieve a second lease of
power, he rendered the first sufficient
ly advantageous' to his party, hut
injurious to his country and disgraceful
to himself.
The truth is, that this passion to hold
the Presidential office for two terms at
least, instead of one, is fatal to admin
istrative integrity. Everybody of
common sense must lie convinced that
if tiio hope of lb" -ueeessioii were
effectually taken awiy, tliu chances of
an honest an independent exercise of
the Executive functions would he in
creased. Tile promptings of duty
.would be comparatively undisturbed
by the sordid aspirations of llio dema
gogue, aud instead of scheming to bp
replaced in ollico by (he basest surren
der of virtuous principle, the only aim
would be lo distinguish the single term
for which it could lie held, by the
purest zeal 'for the public welfare'and
the sternest loyalty to. the Constitu
tion.
We are therefore of Die opinion that
it was unwise in those who framed the
organic law.of Die Federal Government
to make the President eligible for more
than one term. In tho light of subso
quent experience, at any rate, it seems
quite clear to us that it would have
been infinitely hotter to have limited
liis eligibility, to one term of six, el
even eight years, at the risk of any
possible inconvenience or evil which
• such a measure might have entailed,
than to have bo arranged the conditions
of Die tenure of Die chief magisrrae.v as
to insure a corrupt abuse of its au
thority and patronage lor one term of
service, witli a view to secure its pos
session for a second. As Die matter
no,w stands every incumbent is tempted
witli Dio chance of re election, and the
'consequence is, that in seeking to oh
tain that object, lie is apt to sacrifice
Die welfare of the nation to Ids person
al interest and ambition. It lias been
long seen how perniciously this pro
vision in our political system lias
worked, arid popular sentiment there
fore has been growing quite decided in
Die wish that it may lie corrected, lint
any change in so important an article
Of Die National Constitution is not
easily accomplished, and lienee it is to
be feareil that the people must con
tinue indefinitely to suffer from a fault
in Die fundamental law of the govern
ment which more enlightened states
manship would probably have averted
in tho beginning, and which that of
to-day should not hesitate to corrett.

THE'DEATH PENALTY.
Execution of William Poster at Now York
for tho Murdor of Avory D. Putnam.
New York, March 21.—Foster, bade
his keepers “good night” about ten
o'clock on Thursday evening.
Thudepulles In charge, Messrs. See
Imcher and Hanbury, were constantly ou
the alert a An* about midnight they wore
advised by a special ine.seng* v trom the
sheriff that a rumor was cunent that
Foster had been given’ poison by some of
his ft lends in order to cheat the gallows.
The sheriff, feeling rather uneasy about
the rumor, Ibougnt it his duly to fore
warn his officers. But no such attempt
was made, and when Warden 'Johnson,
about half-past on© o’clock, cam© into the
corridor, he found the convict still awake,
sitting bn his bed. Foster, even at .that
late hour, seemed to have hopes of a com
mutation of sentence, lor the question,
"No despatch, warden?’ showed plainly
what Ills thoughts were.
Ho complained through the night of
severe illness, his stomach being unable
to retain food,, bdt dually his wearied
system dfesired rest, nud the pour man at
halt-past two went into his cell, which
he had only loft for a few minutes to seek
warmth by the stove, Soon after-his
heavy breathing told the watchful officers
ihht their charge was asleep.
Two or three-.Umes-the man started in
his sleep as if haunted by an evil spirit, but
dually nature asserted herright, and the
man slept quietly. Three o’clock, four,
live, six o’clock passed without the man
waking up, but about a quarter of seven
o'clock he awoke as Irom a dream, and
started wildly about. The stern reality
, at once dashed across his mind, and gath
ering himself, Foster, with his head bur
ied in his hand, sal down on the side of
his bed and apparently wept.
The sheriff, whose term of duty had
expired turned his .charge over to Depu
ties DaPy and Bunphy. Foster beckoned
the two gentlemen into bis cell ami be
seeched them to request tho sheriff not
to permit a crowd in the corridor.
Being assured that his wiabs could be
complied with, the poor man felt appar
ently releived. Soon, however, the sher
iffs saw that his strength was fast failing;
Dr. Nealis, the prison surgeon, and Dr.
Vaudowaier . hastened to the coudeued
cell and prescribed strung coffee, and this
lemody was, administered, but' again
iiiiu-ea overcame the convict and he
vomited again.-
l‘he spiritual advisers nf the convict,
Kev. Dr. Tyng, Dr. Bchopumaker, of
Sing Sing, and Alt'; Walker appeared at
twenty minutes past eight o’clock, the
Rev. Mr. Duruaquet, JS. J., having pre
ceded them by an hour, and had occu
pied lhe time in giving words of comfort
to the u nidi lunate man. -The reverend
gentlemen ol his own religious denomi
nation now began praying with the con
vict until 8.40, when the sheriff, and Un
der sheriff* Stevens entered for the pur
pose of carrying out the mandate of the
law. A slight tremor ran through tha
man’s frame when he.beheld Mr. Bren
nan,. who, in his good-uatuied tones,
asked him how he felt. “Very well,
sheriff, very well; lam at your disposal
as soon as you want me.”
The convict up to this lime nud stood
the trying ordaal well, but Mr.'Breunatr
saw that his strength was fust ebbing
away, and he \yus thesefore compelled to
hasten matters more than he originally
intended to do. Headed .by Messrr, Sher
iff Brennan and Under Sheriff Stevens,
who Jed the culprit between them, ami
supporting him, as he was barely able to. ,
stand, the cortege entered the yard. Rev.
Messrs. Tyng and Schoonmaker followed
while the deputies' brought up the rear.
Past a double file of police men placed in
the yard the cortege reached the gallows,
but Foster had never once looked at the
dread machine, for from the moment be
left the cell he kept his right hand over
his eyes, as if afraid to face the multitude
who were assembled to witness his death
struggles.
The most perfect silence prevailed at
the lime, and one could almost hear the
clicking of the watch, wheae hands then
pointed precisely to twelve minutes past
nine. A moment more, and William
Foster stood under the gallows.
Rev. Dr. Tyng placed himself to the
right of the man, who shivered with cold .
and tear, while the Rev. Dr. Schoomna-
Uer took tils left side, and Rev. Dr. Walk
er stood close to the latter gentlemen,
and the reading of tho prayer for persons
under aentenceof death commenced, the
Rev. Dr. Tyng leading, and tho Rev. Dr.
Schoonmaker’ making the responses.
Foster with his right hand clutched the
lapel of his coat, while ho held his left
across the eyes to hide the stream nf tears
whicli'he could no longer control.' His
whole frame shook like an aspen, while
the ministers for six long minutes con
tinued their prayer. • •
Bo weak di<l Foster appear, that Sheriff
Brennan stepped behind him and said to
him, “ Bill, bo a man —be a man.” These
words seem to infuse fresh courage into
the culprit’s mind, but this again forsook
him; so that In order to avoid a terrible
scone, Mr. Brennan stepped np to Dr.
Tyne and asked him to shorten the aer
.vice. Dr. Tyne then shook hands with
the swaying figure, who, to all appear
ance, was more dead than alive. The
sheriff beckoned to Mr. Stevens, and from
a knot of people a low-sized.man dres«ed
in a business suit, stepped forth and fast
ened Uic noose to the clump of tho rope.
It was now eighteen minutes post nine.
A nod of the head by Mr. Stevens and
tho black cup bit! the world forever from
the convict. The under sheriff' by,a mo
lion of the hand, directed the executioner
uml with a dull sound the weights de
: cemled, th ■ murderer’s body shot up m
iho .nr, and the law win vindicated, for
death appeared to have ensued almost in
stantaneously.
The mediae! jury, composed of Dry.
Neali*. Vundewutcr; Marsh, Butts, Knox
Place, and Fleming had'lhe hotly lower
ed about two feet, and in examining it,
twelve minutes after theexecution,found
that pulsation at too wrist had ceased,
while three minutes later the heart
ceased heating, twenty-seven and a half
minutes after the cutting of the rope the
body was lowcied, and, with the arms
still pinioned, placed in a magnificent
rosewood coffin, studded with silver nails.
The cap was removed and the neck ex
amined, which was found to have been
broken. The light eye of the culprit was
closed, but the left eye stood open, and,
together with the almost orange-colored
face, presented a most ghastly appear
ance.
A few minutes later the sherill'uml his
deputies left. The body was turned over
to the convict’s relatives, who will have
it interred ihGreenwood Cometery,whore
the lust scenes in thecelebrated cur-hook
murder are to be enacted on Sunday,

try, in measuring brick work, to count
all the openings, doors, &0., as solid work,
but a'decision of tho judge of the Now

ably establish a different precedent. Tho

legal right to charge, for brick that were
never laid, disregarding the plea of cus

Among these rags were .whole sheets,

rest are recovering. It has not spread
further; the.balance of tho hands in the
mill did not take the disease* The par
ties guilty of sending this Infected cloth
ing through the country should be in
dicted for attempted murder, and suffer’
tho penalty in such cases provided.—

Tenants and Taxes.— Tim Philadel
phia Ledger has been looking up the law
as to the seizing of the goods of tenants
for the payment of taxes on real estate,
and can find no acts of the Legislature to
justify such seizure; and it further as
serts that whore legal resistance is made,
the collectors abandon their attempt to
raukeaucb seizure. It furlherstatea,how
ever, that where a collector makes a de
mand for taxes upon a tenant, the tenant
cun make the payment and deduct the
same Irom.rent due, and the owner can
make no resistance to such deduction. It
would consequently seem to be good pol
icy to make tho payment whenever the
demand is made, 10 avoid trouble with
the collector.
Moving Day. —The inevitable first of
April la oloao at hand, and then look out
for breakers, especially among those who
have no houses. Some persons are al -
readr making preparations to remove to
their new abodes, which with some, is an
annual expectation, but a very unpleas
ant one, while with others April* Ist is A
great financial trouble, and also with
many persona an annual one. Our “First
of April,” «a a pecuniary point In the
history of our country, is gradually wear
ing away. The business is distributed
through the year more thoroughly. From
present indication! U looks as if money
would ho tight.
Ouu Guain Chop.— Last winter the
wheat was frozen out of the ground by
Its exposure. This winter the snow pro
tected it well. It has been so far sub-’
jected to no sudden thaws to lift it out of
the ground. The molting snows will
give it freshness and vigor, ami unless it
is damaged by insects, storms or other
wise we may look for a good wheat crop
next season. Frosty nights, followed by
days of Chaw, will have a most injurious
effeet upon the young crops. At this
lime last year the ground was frozen to a
depth of eighteen Inches, there being no
covering, and hence the lute and scanty
yield" This season the soil is frozen to a
much loss depth, and the covering of
snow yet remains.

OUR BOROUGH ELECTION—VICTORY.
B .
Our borough election on Friday Inst,
passed oil quietly, and resulted in a
triumphant Democratic victory. Wo
carry all the borough officer's, a majori
ty in Council, and elect the Justice of
the Peace and Constable .in the West
ward, the Radical strong-hold. Wo
also came within a few votesof electing
two Councilman in this ward. All in
all, it is the greatest victory we have
had in Carlisle for many years. The
Radical-Oredit-Mobilierites-. tried . the
experiment of running a colored man
for Constable, but many men of his
own party yoted against him and de
feated him. This should convince
colored men that the Radicals only de
sire to use them as voters and tools to
foist white raon into office. Many of
the more intelligent Radicals have
sworn in their hearts never to vote .for
a' black man for any office, and they
intend to stand by this oath to the last.
Below we give the official returns;

The Horse—His abuse Without
pretending. to be a good judge of a
horse, wo have always been a strong
admirer of this noble animal, and fell
a strog affection for him. He is indis
ponsiblo to man, and if there is any
thing that provokes it is when we see
him abused. Frequently abuse is in
flicted upon him through thoughtless
ness or ignorace, or both. .Many cruel
ties are inflicted upon the horse, and
the most inexcusable and nonsensical is
the villainous cheek-rein.
A few days since our attention was
directed to a spirited and stylish team.
Both horses wore biting their bits and
busy trying to release their, heads.
Watch them! The head goes, to one
side, then to the other, then the nose is
thrown up as high as possible several
times. And so it goes on without ces
sation. The torture in the bent and
constrained spine must bo" intense;
their eyes show it. Unloose the checks
in these high-headed animals, and they
will hang their beaus down almost to
the ground; they will half close their
eyes, and in this and other ways they
will show a sense of great relief.
Some argue that the horse looks bet
ter with his head drawn up two feet
higher than where the Creator placed
it. That’s a matter of taste. Others
have said that the animal travels and
pulls better with a check-rein. Try it
yourself! Run. a., mile holding your
person and head erect. Try it again!
Draw a loaded hand-cart up a hill and
hold yourself quite upright. You will
never advocate a check-rein,again. The
Creator know how to make a horse.—
lie knew on which end to put the
head, and just how to put it on. He
taught the horse how to carry it. We
have always thought'the thing a suc
cess.
Could the dumb creature speak, he
would sap, “ My master, I know that I
was made to serve you, that I must
spend my whole life in toiling for your
interests, and I ask in return only such
comfort as I have a right to expect. I
Will no t complain when you overwork
mo, but X beg that you will not force
my head up out of its natural place.
It makes me stumble, for I can’t see
where to stoy. It strains my loins
painfully when I have to draw a heavy
load, and it lessens greatly ray pulling
strength.. But, ray dear master, worse
than all these, it produces an aching,
torturing pain in my spiny. Just
where my head joins ray neck, the pain
in the spine is so dreadful sometimes
that I wish myself dead. My master,
hold your head in a curbed constrained
position for half an hour, and you will
sutler the keenest pain you could en
dure. This I have to bear from morn
ing till night. It worse than ail my
other sufferings put together. My
master, give me the liberty to move
my bead in the natural way,' in the
way contrived by our common Father ;
I will serve you better, last longer, and
have a little comfort even in the midst
of all my toils.”
Another abuse of the, horse, very
often, is bad fitting harness, and most
especially the collar. How often the
collar is so small as to almost choke the
horse when he pulls ? And again, how
often too largo, causing chafing and
soreness? We do hope our farmers
and all others owning horses will give
mbro attention to the comfort of these
noblo animals. It is positively a
grievous sin to neglect the horse. Ho
is our drudge by day and by night, in
sunshine and in storm, and should be
kindly used. In very warm weather
working horses should have a few sups
of water every two hours.. This will
relievo much suffering,
These are our views, taken from a
common sense standpoint, and after
years of close observation. , Should
they attract attention and receive a fa
vorable response, we will consider that
wo have performed a good service to
e noblo horse.

Country Papers. —So much has beau
said and written about the local press,
its mission, etc., that there is scarcely
any room left to improve on the oft-re
peated expressions. That a live Ipcul
paper is of incalculable service to the
material prosperity of a town or city
cannot be doubted ; it tells to the world
outside,, the advantages, growth, pbpu
lation, and prosperity of its locality. As
it goes forth week after week to fulfill
its mission, It becomes a constant adviser
for all, whether it.bo the property holder
or the poor man, whether ho is a sup
pooler (subscriber) or not, he la. benefited
by it, and should give It his hearty and
cordial support.
A man of ordinary Intelligence living
In this age of progress, who does not ap
preciate the importance of a newspaper
in a town or city, should retire to the
back woods, and- ihere end hie days'in
oblivion. You should always take oud
pay for your home paper first, no matter
if it does not look so well as the weekly
of large cities, your first duty Is to help,
the paper that helps you.
When a stranger stops at a village ho
tel, his first inquiry is for the “home
paper,” for he knows that by a careful
perusal of Us pages he is, certain to find
a sure index of the status of the place,
and from Its advertising columns he
forms a sure estimate in regard to the
kind of business carried on, and theelyle
of men who conduct the business. For
these reasons nil who desire that our
(own should become a city In fact; dial
Its population and wealth should in
crease, should subscribe for additional
copies of the Volunteer for the benefit
of friends and acquaintances abroad.
