"Republicans, ,f irate f "
This is the yell that the elections
in California, Montana and Maine has
wrenched from th J'lnck Republican
leaders. Tbe election in the former
State was the most exciting ever held.
The Jicw York Tribune and other
lesser organs of the "Blockhead" per
suasion, seem to understand that "an
honest confession is good for the soul."
In speaking of the character of their
candidate in California, tho friend of
Jefferson Iavis says : "Tho result of
the California elrrtion has taught
" the Union party both, in New York
" and throughout the country a whole-
some lesson. It has taught us that
" we can ne er afford cither to indulge
" in family quarrels or to nominate
any other than unexceptionable
men. Party cbicanory was allowed
" in California to effect division in
" our ranks, and the enemy rushed in
" at tbe breach and beat us. More
" over, of tho two Uepublican candi
" dntes for Governor neither Lad any
" real strength. The personal record
"of one was not clear; the other
M bad no record at all. The Demo
" cratic candidate, on the other hand,
" was a gentleman of tbe highest per
" aooal character. No wonder we
" were beaten. Now let us take this
- lesson to heart, and make 00 more
" wicked blunders." That tbe char
acter of their candidate was bad we
all know, because they bare not, for
many years, presented the pecple
with any other kind, (hence tbe crimes
and prodigality throughout the coun
try,) while tbe Democra'io candidates
are usually "gentlemen of tbe highest
personal character." Tbe people have
been blind for seven years, but they
have in the mean time had so many
eye-openers that they are now begin
ning to see who has been robbing
them. The Republicans are awake,
but they are not of tbe Tbad. Stevens
negro horde who have feasted and
fattened upon the country at the ex
pense of its liberties.

The late elections have aroused the
loyal liona in their dens. The follow
ing Vesuvian eruption demonstrates
the action of tho crater at home:
" Let every loyal man arouse, shake
" off his lethargy, and be on the alert,
" remembering that while those twin
" demons alobohol and treason run
riot at the White House, all his
" dearest righta are in peril." This
ia the tail end of Mr. Swoope's address
to his deluded followers. The "twin
demons" he fully understands. The
one ho keeps in his cellar, and the
other he retails in his office in his
voluminous style. And why he should
attempt a quarrel with the occupant
he helped to put in the White Ilouse
for nsing the same articles, we cannot
conjecture, unless he fears it may be
come scarce, and his loval soul would
be rendered uncomfortable while hunt
ing a substitute. We are surprised
that he failed to refer to bis other
twins slavery and polygamy. But
"alchohol and treason" is good, when
uttered by a "loyal man," untainted
by the fumes of the "twin demons."
M. P. Bona, Esq. We notice by
our eastern exchanges the sudden de
mise of our esteemed friend, in the
SCtb year of his age. Mr. Boyer was
a prominent member of the Beading
bar, and an active politician. But in
the prime of life and in tbe midst of
usefulness be has been called hence.
Tbe member of the bar held a meet
ing in reference to the death of their
fellow member and passed the usual
resolutions of condolence. Mr. Boyer
was a brother of Dr. Boyer, of Lu
thersburg. The Beading Gazette, in
alluding to bis death, says :
"We are sorry to announce the de
cease of our friend Jdichaol 1. Boyer,
Esj., after a few days' lllnoss, at his
residence, in tbis city, on Thursday
moraine. He was a well-known mem
ber of the Bar, and represented Berks
county in the Legislature during the
session of lHfil. He served with gal
lantry in the late war, as 1st Lieuten
ant of Co. H, (Capt. John Kennedy,)

of men and most dovoted
and affectionate of husbands. His
death will be deeply regret tod by a
large circle of friends and acquaint
ances. At the tine of his decease, be
held the office of Commissioner for
tbe U. S. Court of Claims, to which
he was appointed a few months ago.
Mcsr Have Money. Tbe prosper
ous borough of Tyrone now boasts of
three newspapers one religious and
two seonlar. There is plenty of mis
sionary work for the former, but who
is coin ir to keep up tbe others we
cannot imagine. The Bulletin is pub
lished by an able and competent gen
tleman, CapL Jolly, well known to
manv of our citizens. But aa he is
can't see where he is to get his pa
trons from. We hope he may "find a
path through pleasant fields." Broth
er Holeicgcr, who is running the
Herald on a "neutral" line, is also
after an impossibility. But as he is
backed by his religious Companion,
he msy weather tbe storm and come
out at tbe big end of tbe born. Good
luck to tbe craft in Tyrone. Only
support tbe "government," is all the
request we have to make at tbis time.
Boxina the Compass. The Blsck
Bepublicans are inconsolable over their
defeat in California. Their organs
and loaders, while adjusting and ex
plaining the causes that lead to their
defeat, assign as tho prime one that
the party managers nominated a vile
and corrupt mau for Governor, at
which the "honest" and religious por
tion of the party took offence, and at
once went to work and nominated an
"honest" man for tbe position; hence
tbe defeat. But the election returns
reveal the joke played off on eastern
loyaldom. Tbe honest candidate re
ceived no votei. What became of "the
honest masses of tbe party" controlled
by "grand moral ideas" on the day of
tbe election, deponents say not.
Dominated. Hon. Geo. W. Wood
ward, whose term on the Supreme
Bench expiree on the first Monday of
December, was last week unanimously
nominated, in the Luzerne District,
for Congress, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Mr. Dennison. Mr.
Woodward ia now absent in Europe.
He will be the Hercules of that body,
and will take his seat the very day
his commission as judge expires.
Iv'iooia Genkrals. Andrew John
son, after all, does some good things,
and among them ia his habit of send
ing the miserable military tools of the

West He thus disposed of Miles and
Terry, and now sends that wretched
parody on Murat "the great cavalry
leador," Sheridan, and, we trust, in a
few days, to hear that Sickle and
Pope have followed in the stent of
their "illustrious predecessor." There
is a peculiar fitness in sending these
nigger generals to fight tbe Indians,
and the only drawback that we can
think of is, the danger of their getting
badly beaten, and thus increasing the
expenses of the war. i be Indian is
so much the nobler animal, that in
anything likeequal numbers he is sure
to lick tbe nigger badly; but as there
will always ba tome whit generals at
hand Sherman, Custer and others
they will, no doubt, save Sheridan,

from destruction. Joy Book.

The Radical Stat Committee are

Facta for Government Bondholders,
AND Till HOLDERS OF OREENBACKS.
Kead,Kexl aud Hand to your Neighbor.
In 1861, eleven States seceded; and
since thou only twenty-three have
been represented in Congress, until
the admission of Tennessee in 1866.
All the United States Bonds 5-20's,
7-30'a and 10-40's all the greenbacks,
and all the National Banks, were cre
ated by this Congress of twenty-three
States.
President Johnson calls this an
"tutumed Congrets" therefore not le
gal. His supporters and the Demo
crats call it a "rump Congrest," and a
"usurping Congrets," and hence, not a
lawful Congress ; and tbe great effort
has been to elect Congressmen in the
North, and admit enough from the
rebel States to enforce this "Polieu."
If a Congress, representing but
twenty-three States, be not a lawful
Congress, then every United btates
Bond, and all our greenbacks, and
.National Hack notes are worth noth
injr : becauso an unlawful Congress
could not make lawful Bonds or lawful
money.
J he mad effort, so recently made
by the rebels and their euinpathizers,
to destroy tbis Government by force
of arms failed. Thus far, the attempt
to do the aame thing, through Congress,
has also failed, because of the action
of the loyal voters at the ballot-box ;
sod the last effort at destruction is
now beftig maJe turouou the Courts.

ocreiic lawvera to induce the Sunreme
Court of the United States to issue
an injunction, nullifying the Recon
struction Lawa of Congress in Missis

for Judge of the Supremo Court of

denies tbe constitutional power of
Congress to niako paper money

And this, too, in tbofac of the fact,
that the Superior Courts of every
loyal State in which the question has
been raised, have sustained tbe power
of Uongress.
It requires, therefore, but little
knowledge of either arithmetic or
law, to estimate tho imminent danger
of putting any more mon of Judge
Sbarswoad's opiniona on the Supreme
Bench of the State 1
If you believe the present Congress
to be unlawful, or doaire our National
currency and Government Bonds to
be declared unlawful, vote lor George
Jfyou believe the present Congress
w w luajut, ur ueairo vaeir action on
Currency and Bonds to stand good,
voto to sustain them, for the party
that created the Greenbacks and tbe
Bonds, tbe parly that sustained the
war, and compelled submission to the
National authority, and that stands
nledced to keen faith with the lkmd
holders, and to maintain the National
credit vote for Henry W. Williams,
the worthy and honored nominee of
this party.
Look at the Other Side.
When secession came. Democrats
sustained the Government, shed their
blood, invested their money in 5-20 s,
7-30's, and 10-40's, sent their members
to Congress, and obeyed the laws
that a Congress of twenty -three States
enacted. 1 bat was their Government
and they loved it, they defended it,
and many of thorn died for it
During the war, eleven States were
not represented in Congress, and the)
refused to be. That was a lawful Con
gress, all obeyed it and all of its laws
are binding under the Constitution.
When tbe war wws over the South
submitted, then the Badicals kept them
out to give the negro power. They
acted outside of tin Constitution" as
Ihaddeua Stevens says.
If it be true, that tho Democrats
are trying to destroy this Government,
now strange it is that thev should
hold it

and die for it.

Ex-Sehator ItDocoALL. James
A. McDougall, an ex-Senator of the
United States, fron the State of Cali
fornia, died at Alhiny, New York, on
th 3d instant. Tiis gentleman was
born in Bctblehon, Albany county.
New York, in 181', and received his
ducation in the Albany Grammar
School. On the sxpiration of bia
school term be stucied law, and boing
admitted to practiw removed to Pik
county. Illinois, f which State he
was chosen Attorney-General in 1642,
and rechosen to .he same office in
1844. In 1849 Mr McDougall origin
ated and accompanied an exploring
expedition to Bio (el Norte, the Gila
and Colorado, fnra tbence be ex
tended his visit to California, where
he fixed bis permanent residence. In
I850 he was electee Attorney -General
of the Slate of Cililornia, and also
served in Congrem fiom that State
from 1853 to 1855. Declining are
nomination, he ronainod in private
life until 1801, whel he was elected a
Senator of the Uiited Stato and
served a full term iuthat body. The
ex-Senator was also a delegate to tbe
Cbicapo Convention lu 18U. whiph
nominated; Uonerai l.-Clellan for the
Presidency. Mr. Jk-Dougall was a
man of extensive rtading and infor
mation, and an orttor of point and
brilliancy.
Let Him Explain. Instead of
backing np their fallen hero Stanton
aatbey promised to do the Radicals
hav already abandonod him to bis
fate. Th New York Tribune has
even th unkindncss to make th fol
lowing statement and suggestion :
"Brig. Geo. Chaa. P. Stone in 1862
was arrosted at midnight, placed in
Fort Lafayelto, removed from hia
command, charged with treasonable
practices, kept without a trial, mus
tered out of his rank in th middle of
the war, aftor a brilliant service in
Louisiana, and in fact, driven from
tb army in disgrace. This is one of
tb mysteries of Mr. Lincoln's admin
istration, and as Mr. Stanton gave
lb order for General Stone's arrest,
now that he is out of offic he may
probably give the reason."
Kot be. The "mystery" of that
disgraceful and despotic act will die
with him unless forced out by that
infamous invention of his a military
commission.
Th Vancouvor Register is jubilant
over tho business prospects opened by
the purchase of the Bussisn Posses

are given to enterprise on the northern
Pacitio coast; that vessels are building

facture of salt for curing fish can bo
carried on with great advantage, and
mat an me advantage enjoyed by
th fisheries in th Atlantio mar be
safely expected in the business. To
begin with, the fish ar pronounced
plenty and of uperior quality to the
Atlantio cod; tb drying properties
of th air ar well adapted to the
curing of them j Indians, expert fish
ermen, can be cheaply hired for the
work, and there is leas interruption
from gaic 01 wind than on the Great
Banks. The Register makes ont a.
good caso for that country, and we
have no doubt that Yankee enterprise
will do all it can towards realizing th
hope cxprossod.

Ote r Ktanton't Crime.
Just now, while Stanton Is traveling
round th country, and Doing greeted
by lb "loyal" of our Northern cities,
and while Jtndicnl county conventions
are nominating him for Prosident, tho
following statomont, mnde by Mr.
Brown, of tho New York IVi'fcune, will
no doubt be rond with interest :
"Mr. Richardson and myself spent
noarlv a week in tho National capital,
after our escape, emloavering to do all
tuat was posniuie lur miq ruiuuou ui biiu
five brave men in the hands of the
enemy ; and every one we mot there
told the same story, that the Secretary
of War was the obstacle in tho wny
of the resumption of tho exchange.
Moreover, Gen. Butler, in his speech
at Lowell, Mass., stated positively that
he had boon ordered by Mr. Stanton
to put forward the negro question to
complicate und prevent the exchange.
Col. A. B. Stroight, of Indianapolis,
Ind., a fellow-prisoner with us in the
Libby, told Mr. Richardson, after our
roturn to froodom, that, in an inter
view between tho becrotary and him
self, the former declared to him the
Government could not afford to ex
change able-bodied mon for skeletons,
Other officers and civilians, whose
names I cannot now remember,
sured me that he bad used to them
tho aame language in effect; and there
is no doubt whatever that was his
policy and determination, until the
clamors of the people compelled him
to retire from his barbarous position.
Every one is aware that when the ex
change did take place, not the slight
est alteration had occurred in tbe
question, and that our prisoners might
as well have beeu reluauwd twelve or
eighteen month before as at the re.
sumDtion of the cartel, which would
have saved to tho itcpuunc at least
twelve or fifteen thousand heroic lives.
That they were not saved is due alone
to Mr. Stanton' peculiar policy and
dogged obstinacy ; and, aa I have re
mailed before, ho is unquestionably
tbe digger of the unnamed graves that
crown the vicinity of every Southern
prison with uislono and never to be
forgotten heroes."
To whole truth has not vet boen
told in regard to the cold-blooded
brutality of Stanton, but he will be
forever held responsible for tbe priva
vations and suffering which were en
dured at Andersonvillo and elsewhere
in the South. There are witnesses
enough to convict him to be found in
hi own party.

Senator Wilson, some weeks ago in
a speech delivered at Saratoga, aaid :
"There is not a Democratio flag
floating from the Potomac to Florida.
In reply to this a Democratic soldier
Olew 1 01, nam;
"The undersigned remember when
there was a 'Democratio flag floating
from the Fotomao to Florida,' and
that flag was the Star Spangled Ban
nor, and tbe time when the Demo
cratic flag was floating from tho Po
tomac to Florida was on tho 4th of
July, 1856. Th Democrats of the
town of Natick, the residenco of Sen
ator Wilson, hung out tho flag at th
same timo, but he, instead of partici
pating in the celebration of the Birth
rlsr of th American Kepublio in bi
own town, was present at toe anti
slavery mooting in South Framing
ham, in the same county, and clapped
bis bands when Uliam l,loyd Garri
son, Wendell Phillips, Parker Pilla
bury, Elisur Wright, and a host more,
now very loyal Union men, spit upon
the Constitution of the United States,
thon, throwing it to tbe ground tram
pled it beneath thoir feet, then con
signed It to the flames and burned it
to ashes, and these aalies they again
trampled upon. I remember ibis
incident to day just as clearly as I
remember the other fact that at a
meeting in Trcmont Temple, Februa
ry, 1861, Carl Schurz slandered Georgo
Washington as a slave-holding old
fogy, and that tho whole audionco
clapped applauso with their patriotic
hands, and on both occasions 1 never
saw either the flag of the country or
any othor flag the Democratic flag
of course not. But when John Brown
was hung 1 have soen the flag of the
country lowered at half-mast, and
that in the town where the Hon.
Senator resided ; and that insult to
tb National flag was not perpetrated
by the Democrats, but by tho party
of which Mr. Wilson is a leader."

Narrow Escape. On Saturday last,
while Mr. Samson Dick was driving
a horse power attached to a threshing
machino at Lawrence Borger's, in
Hamilton township, his pants wore
caught by the "tumbling shaft" of the
machine and torn completely off and
wound around the shaft, leaving him
standing in a state of nudity. Mr.
Dick fortunntely had the presence of
mind to catch hold of tb "arm" and
thus saved himself, his muscle proving
stronger than bis suspendors. Like

he lost his trowsere but saved his life.
W commend his pluck in holding on

A Miskomer. The Associated Pros
dispatch announcing the Democratio
victory in California, says : "The en
tir Union Stat ticket i defeated,
and it is donbtful if one Union man is
elected." This is a gross abuse of
language, of truth, and of the papers
to which tho Associated Press agency
furnishes telegraphic news. The par
ty that was defeated in California, o
far from being the Union party, is,
and has been, since the surrenderor
Lee's forces, the (fid-union party, and
to name it otherwise is as false as to
call a mule a horse or a traitor a loy
alist. Mrs. Ling, wife of John Ling, of

died vory suddenly 0110 dny last week.
She wis, apparently, in good health
previously, and was sitting at tho
breakfast table when she suddenly
dropped over in her chair dead. She
was a very estimable lady aud leavea
a largo circle of mourning friends.
There is something exquisite in the
Tankec's reply to the European trav
eler, when he asked him if be had
just crossed th Alps. "Wall, now
you call my attention to th fact, I
guee I did mi risin' ground."
Flanders, th bogus Governor of
IiOirUiana, we see, threatens to resign,
now that hia master, Gon. Phil. Slier
idan, bat gone. Flanders could not
do a bettor thing. 11 has no busi
ness in Lousiana at all as "Governor."
If he wore up for that ofllco to day,
tho election Doing free, he could not
get the voles 01 1110 mean wuiies even
the fact is, the poople down there
can novor forgot that Jie actod as a
sort of pilot fish for Gon. Butler,
when that distinguished gontlemnn
was playing the shark among thorn
after tho capture of New Orleans.
The wisdom of making a governor
of a man associated with such mem
ories as these, is utterly imperceptible,
and honce Flundors does well, there
fore, in vacating the office as soon as
possible.
All Bioht Following close npon
the Democratio triumph in California,
comes the news of another victory in
Montana, the election of Cavanagh,
the Democaatio candidate for delegute
to Congress, by an overwhelming voto.
The Territorial Legialature, elected
lust rear, is also overwhelmingly
Democratic. The Democrats have
eleven of the thirteen members of the
Council, and twenty-two of the twen
ty-six members of the Uouso, a major
ity of twenty -seven in both Houses.
