The Examiner it Herald seems to have heeded our advice last week. This only proves that a little judicious admOnition given at the right, time, and just in the right manner will always have a favorable effect. The 'Republican party haS just cause for feeling ashamed of a portion of the press of this county. Journals which at one time were influential in politics, society and in every department of life, have fritted away their influence in spite ful, personal vituperation until, like the Examiner, they have lost all sense of journalistic propriety. There is such a thing as honest and respectful discussion however earnest it may be. The rabble and • the beer-house politicians, and the "bummers" as the . _Examiner 'calls them, may be pleased with such choice vulgar isms, as hunk, lame clucks; cut it fat &c., to which the readers of the Examiner are al most Weekly treated; but the sense and better judgment of the better class of cit izens are against them. People -begin to regard such weekly emanations as huge jokes, especially when "Jack" is behind them. The Examiiiei in — retalhitiOnfOr our well timed advice deals what it considers a terrible blow at the editor of this paper, because he secured a state appointment. This is extremely refre„shingMien we re call the labored efforts, the nights of toil, the pangs of great expectation, and no. realization, which the editor of the Exam iner endured in his canvass.for the Mar shalship.. But as everybody knows, he was unsuccessful, which was certainly not hisrfault, and we will not abuse him for that. , Our friend Heistand hoWever -is very much mistaken as to our flattery, of • one congressional candidate for the purpose of Securing an appointment, and after wards favoring another. Unlike -the Ex are always willing to accede to: - every Men the, juSt credit ; club him., Were the people of this county to deal with the editor of the Examiner by:the same rule; his chanCes for office or preferment would be exceedingly small. • , • In. quoting, from the. Examinel::last week we transcendedno;rules.of decency, as that paper alleges, but gave its simple, unadorned language' Mall the Strength of its ugliness: ' There is ,nota single issue of that paper which - does not teem with foul, . slanderous, and sometimes wicked, sentences. How sucha journal, pervaded with such a spirit can be admitted 'into' the-household as a "fainilynewspaper" is to many people a serious question. Upon the subject of joUrnalistic'ribald-• ry-we quote from the:proceedings 'of , an' editorial convention 'held- in , Indiami re cently, at which a xesdlution -was passed unanimously declaring that they. 'depre cate-the practice, so freely indulged in by members- off--our profession; of personali ties; false representations, etc.'," and ad vise the inculcation of "courteous inter course and _a gentlemanly bearing each toward ,the ' other; as well as to all -Mem bers of the newspaper profession." And - now since we have volunteered so much kind advice to, the .Examinerwe cannot close "without'rbprediicing the sentiments of an eminent writer in the West who says that the 'ugliest blot on American journalisin, _the one which is doinemoie - than all others to corrupt the popular Sense of the amenities proper be tween than arid min, to bring the editorial profession into disrespect, is that of the almOst continual and unbridled in dulgence by journalists lef coarse 'abuse and personal' traduetion of each, other. _lt seems next to imposiible for 'the edit'ors of rival papers to engage in a controversy upounnY question of. mere, 'political. or social concern; without 'introducing into the contest something connected with the personaTcharacter; habits, appearance or manners of Cachother; and thelow plane; to which thpsort . , of thing often descends would disgrace even the roughs of 'the prite-ring and , the bullies of thelarLropm.

It 'should be the pleasure as well as duty of every American to commemor ate their death by a ceremony so fully. and= apprOpriate. At each returning Spring we renew the mem ories of their deeds. Let their memories be ever green in their hearts of a grateful, happy People. -- These ceremonies- have been - usually under the :direction - of - the Post of :the 'Grand Arhiy, as they were the only mili tary association whose interests were like, and whose hearts beat in sympathy with the dead., :Editor This year however we find the observ ance taking a wider and more general character. In, many places public meet ings were called, as in Columbia, and the ceremonies for the time being placed under the direction of committees appointed promisciously. The Grand Army has done a vast amount of good in relieving distressed comrades, providing for the widow and orphan, and in otherwise dis pensing charity. Its freedom from the foul influence of politics renders it one of the strongest and most desirable associa tion in the country. As its motives have often been called into dispute, we reprint from Chapter I, Article 11,. of its rules and regulations, the following as its only objects. 1. To preserve and strengthen those kind and fraternal feelings which bind to gether the soldiers, sailors and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion. 2 To assist such former_ comrades in arms as need help and protection, and to extend needful aid to the widows and or phans of those who have fallen. 3. To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America, based upon-a paramount respect for the fidelity to the N'ational Constitution and laws; to dis countenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, incites to insurrection, treason, or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficiency and permanency of our free in stitutions. and to encourage the spread of universal liberty, equal rights, and justice to all men. The association is willing to abide the result of criticism of this avowal of prin ciples.— Hero is a clear declaration of all we purpose and that alone upon which we wish to beijudged. Beyond this no post or comrade' has the right to speak for or' commit the society. • The public can have little interest in the internal working machinery or the details of 'administration by which these objects are 'wrought out. The by-laws, &e.; are not unlike those of other similar organizations, although we have our ritu al and forms of ceremony peculiar to our own order. As,-however, our, declared object may be misinterpreted upon a question about which the public is justly sensitive and jealous—viz., politics—there should be hero given what we have enacted as our law upon that subject: Art.' XI. - No officer or comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic shall in any manner use this organization for partizan purposes, and no discussion of partizan questions shall be permitted at any meet ing of the Grand Army of the Republic, and no nominations for political offices shall be made. • . • In the early history of the organization .this provision was not a past of our regn lations, and doubtless the action of posts' and departments_ 'gave some grOund for popular distrust, s secret political Organ-, izationi - are to be deprecated at all times, .and can of defended under circum stances of great-public necessity. But as ; the fruits of the war were being rapidly and safely garnered; and as We had passed the peril which tiireatened ue'sb'pn after . the' armed rebellion ended, it was wisely foreseen' that politics must be 'definitely and permanently excluded, which was ac complished by the adoption of the regula- . tion quoted above. ' The organization now rests upon a - basis as enduring as the, virtues it teaChes;' it cannot cease to exist While a survivor of out late Union Army 'remains to' keep it alive. Parties may change; goVernmental policies be adOpted and Pass away; civil or foreign wars arise; Nit here shall .be . found a society drawing together ' and holding in' a common bond of ' nnioathe best - blood of the nation..

We are sorry to know that Mr. Dickey, who has so well and faithfully rcpresented,us,,on..thetariff„ question, favors this swindle. Afew clays ago, when the bill came up, Mr. Dickey voted to pass it to a third reading; there was sufficient opposition however to ,de feat the motion, and it' Was recommitted. - Mr. Dickey's vote on this bill needs ex planatiom and his friends will meet with difficulties in shielding him . from the re sponsibility of his vote. In the .legislature of 'Pennsylvania a similar movement was planned, and a line of action, similar to that of Mr. Dickey's (first voting for the measure, and when the question of final passage came up, opposing it,) was pursued. The prin ciples in the two great swindles were alike, the course of action parallel. How the Express as , will be seen by the follow ex tracts, , can condemn in one case, and excuse in the next, is inexplainable. The constant readers of the Erpreas need not be told that no candidate for the Legislature will receive support or countenance from us, editori ally or otherwise, who is not openly and thor oughly committed against all such unconstitu tional and swindling' schemes for building railroads at the expense of the Slate, as was voted for by a majority of members of the last Legislature, and was only defeated In the end as by a miracle.—Drprus, May IS. Mr. Dickey, in the votes he has given, has generally,llnot uniformly correctly represented the sentiments and wishes of his constituents, and we doubt not that he will continue to do so, if be is informed What they desire. When the bill comes back from the Committee to which it was recommitted, and Mr. Dickey is found voting against proper amendments it will be timeenoUgh to denounce him us favoring a •"swindle" upon the people.—Eaprebs, May 10. THE French are a strange people. They held a popular election last Sunday. Na poleon planned the 'election thusly: lie summed up a number of his extra-oirt cial acts and called them liberal. If the people were in favor of maintaining such acts as law they were to vote yes; if they disapproved and voted no, it was merely directing the Emperor to fall back on Napoleonic despotism. It was conse quently of little concern to Napoleon how the people voted. An exchange in com menting on the subject recalls. the story of the Indian and white man dividing the turkey and buzzard. The white man put the question to the lonely savage, shall I have the turkey, and you the- buzzard, or you the buzzard and I the turkey. The white man never said turkey to the red man, and Napoleon does likewise. TIM attention of the Lancaster Express and Intelligenccr, , our free trade, organs is invited to the following significant extract from the Sheffield (England) Daily Tele graph: "If gold goes to par, and the tarliT of ISGO is re enacted, there are'few manufacturing concerns In America that can avoid' practical breaking up." Also the following from the local col umns of the Express of Monday. "Now you see it, and now you don't see it." We have the authority of a gentleman exten sively engaged In the bubLuess for saying that under the - present circumstances, no money is Made from the miMufacture of pig Iron. Con slimers debline to buy beyond their Immediate wants, under the belief that foreign iron will soon be imported at a lower price than It can cm Manufactured for here, and hence large chianti- ties are aCcumialating at the furnaces." TEE Secretary of .War, in a communi cation to Congress,-says that, under a re cent decision of the Supreme Court, every volunteer : who entered the service under Mr. Lincoln's proclamation of May 3d, 1061, is entitled to $lOO bounty. provided only that he has been honorably discharg ed. The Secretary is unable to designate the 40 regiments entered under the proc lamation; but suggests to Congress the justice of giving the same -bounty to all volunteers enlisted- for three years and discharged befere they had served out the ,last two, if they have not already received the allowance.

The Crushine;Ont Process. The crushing-c4process • as, applied.to • • newspaper menos not , a success. They don't 'crush a cent. The greatest favor any party could ex tend-to a newi - paperinan, who 'amounts to anything is to attempt to crush him. Years ago, John Russell Young was dis charged from a newspaper office, and a combined effort made to brand him as a thief and a scoundel, and utterly disgrace and destroy him. He now appears as the head and front of a powerful interest, the mouth-piece of which .is, Mr. Young's Paper—The New York Daily Standard, a paper of vigor, snap, solidity and strength., The very attempts made to crush John Russell Young, through these years that have followed his expulsion from the Tribune office, have simply advertised him and made the Standard a success in ad vance. INre do not undertake to justify John Russell Young: but we do attempt to say that the application of the crush-out pro cess with regard to him was a mistake, and especially was it a mistake to try to prove him a thief and a rascal-=-features calculated rather to recommend than in jure him, to a large portion of the people of New York. The liveliest and thriftiest papers in tbe country are precisely those papers which sometimes one interest and sometimes some other interest has been continually trying to crush out.' Take the Tribune, for instance. how the lying nonsense about its free-lovism and infidelity has only operated to make the concern firmer in its position and more prosperous in its finances! Take the Independent as, another in stance. • The abuse heaped upon this pa per by religious journals and the attempts of thousands of clergymen in the land to withdraw its circulation in favor of other journals, have increased its subscribers more than one-half, as it was never nearly so prosperous as now. We do not justify the Independent. It has its good points and bad points; but its career justifies our position that attempts to crush a public journal only increase its vitality, influ ence and power! If we wished to destroy a newspaper we should give it a powerful letting-alone! We should never mention its name from one year's end to the other. We should not in any way advertise it, or give it notoriety. Of all things in the world, he who de sires to injure a paper should never lie about it. A malicious falsehood only plagues and hurts its author—and hardly ever disturbs the object of its malice. We have stated facts and principles for general application, and if people would: accept them we should have much less' public quarreling; and journals and pub lic men of honesty, worth and useful qual ities would prosper and reach the highest success; and journals and persons of op posite qualities would fade out of sight and remembrance. ' Columbia and 'Free Trade. A meeting of the iron manufacturers of Columbia was held last Saturday, at which the opinion was expressed that at present prices the production of iron can not be continued without loss, and the unani mous sentiment was that in less than sixty days the furnaces must blow out. Reports come from the Lehigh Valley that the iron manufacturers there are suf fering and that the smaller furnaces can not hold out much longer. The workingmen employed in the iron, steel, copper, and other manufacturing es tablishments of Pittsburg, have taken steps to make known their opposition to the freeArade movement in Congress, and have inaugurated a series of meetings which have resulted in their sending their own delegates to Washington. Their ex ample is worthy of emulation by the work ingmen of Columbia. If any class of the people is interested in the protection of American industry, it is that composed of our workingmen, whose intelligence and skill it is proposed to reduce to the level of the ignorant, ill-paid laborers of Eng land. is of Columbia, your interest is daily assailed by the free traders in and out of Congress. An attempt is made to reduce your wages to a par with the half starved mechanic of Europe. He who strikes at your wages, strikes at your com fort, at your happiness and at the comfort of your families. Chief among the agents of free trade are the Lancaster .Express and Intelligencer. The laboring man has no longer a friend or ally in the .Express. In the face of all the teachings of the past the lessons of the present, and the . move ments of trade everywhere, we can not see how a republican journal, of such high tone, . and of such influence, can operate directly against our interests, the interest of the laboring man, and of the nation. Columbia is playing no small part in the great question of protection; Our inter ests are too great to be fritted away by such shallow-brained theorists as are now seek ing .to control the subject of tariff; our iron manufactures are clear-headed think •ers, honest and sober men, and too much devoted to the true welfare of the coun try to be carried away by pensioned con federates of Great Britain. Ix costs money to become a Senator of Pennsylvania. Our readers will remem ber_ that $5500 were spent to nominate Mr. Rutan, last summer, according to good Democratic authority. It is a fair presumption that Mr. Watt, of Philadel phia, was out this amount, as a nomina-. tion in Philadelphia is scarcely a cheaper article than one in the Beaver and Wash ington district. And now we hear that Mr. llall, one of Mr. Watts, counsel in his contested election case, received $l5OO of a fee, and Mr. Simpson, his colleague, has brought suit for $2500. All the world knows that Mr. Watt owes his seat en tirely to ,the efforts of these gentlemen, and,their bills are probably not too large, but they are, nevertheless, calculated to • terrify poor men, in close districts, who - have legislative aspirations., We are not a candidate for the Senate.—Beaver Bad- TEAT betwitching political organization known by the fanciful name of "Sorosis" has issued a "Declaration of Indepen dence," renouncing all allegiance to that most despotic of rulers—Fashion.

This is sensible, and all will agree that the subject legiti mately belongs to "woman's sphere."

GREAT SNAKE HUNT IN 01E10.—On the .112th ult., at Big Island township, in Mar ion county on the farm ofAlexander Camp bell, a great , snake hunt occurred. The party was headed by Capt. Jackson Brady who led his gallant company down into the tall prairie grass, and surrounded a twen ty acre lot, set fire on the outer edge of the grass at 4 P.M. The grass burned well, the flames rolling up ten, feet high, and as the fire advanced the snakes retreated to the centre,-soinetimes making desperate efforts to spring through the flames, but the blaze being too heavy they.were killed in the at tempt. At 6.45 P.M. the ground was burn ed over ,and Capt. Brady went over the field of carnage and picked up the debris of the great army of snakes, and by actual count there was found to be 13,933 snakes of all sizes- One black racer was nine feet and four inches long and seven inches in circumference. ' This may be considered 'a good day's work for this .neighborhood, as the snakes had become so bad thatsmall children were afraid to go to school, and they oven attack ed some adults, several having been bitten on their boots, and it had become a co ra- Mon thing for fifty or a hundred,snakos . to aase men, women or children across this The milk snakes were constantly niilking the cows, and thereby interfering with-the dairy business in that section.— Marion.
