A western ex change says that tho negroos of Bour bon county, Ky., who voted tho Doin ocratio ticket at tho late election, ore persecuted and multroatod. Thoir houses have boon forcibly entered, and their dishes, stovos and other fur niture brokon and mudo usoless. Some of them bare been stoned at night and mobbed in tho d:iy. Tho arm of tho law ought to be strong enough in Kentucky to put down theso Grunt Ku Klux. How is this fob Iliaii ? It is an nounced that Stato printer Singorly presented a bill to the Constitutional Convention, for printing, of $21,835,' 00. . Tho committee cut it down to $9,338.27. Grabbors do not fare well in that body. The former $21,000 was a Radical bill, tho latter $9,000 was a Democratio bill. Singerly, we prcsumo, supposed that after the Pros idont, Congrcshinon and the Govornor had their bills doubled, he could go a liltlo hotter and seo ibom. Chance for Another M'ardon. A horrible- murdor was committed in Ilarrisburg, on last Sunday night a week, at 12 o'clock, at tho cornor of Short and South Btreots. Two no- groos, named Jonosand Williams, got into an altercation as to who was tho belter man. Jones drew a bowie- knife and stabbed Williams several timos in the stomach; Williams lived but a few minutes. The murdcror has bcon arrested and committed. This is tho third man Jones has ruur dcrod, and ho has twico boon sent to the Penitentiary and twice boon par doned out. Ho is an influential "col ored politician," and we presume what lias happened twice will happon again, and the safety of society jeopardized by this ungodly man. Can tho advo catos of capital punishment not cn forco the law, or if not, repeal it and havo a law enncted which will rondor society moro safe f tio Explain Senator Carponlor, of Wisconsin, Vico Prosident pro tern, and his lady (not his wife) were kicked 'out of a fashionable hotel at tho Long Branch scat of govcriimont, ono day lust week This affair causes somo few of tho "loyal millions" to turn uplhuir noses. Tha Daily Wisconsin, the organ of ro- finomont, loyalty and godliness in that Slato, says : The Ntw York TVteae nd Chicago Timnhtit made set-tout eharges against tho private oharao ter of Senator Carpenter. Thsao cbargee are too grave to pari annotioed.

The IHtconttuttd, Tho world has bcon bloesod with a class of mon who are always unhappy and discontented, and complain of bo Ing rendorod so by thoir neighbors, when they in reality are tho designers and promoters of their imaginary dis tress.' No avocation or spliero oi life but what is moro or loss disturbed by this olemont of noddy. And ten mon of this class can produce moro conci sion and harm to the well being of society than throo tinios that number can successfully combat. Ono of theso mon can disturb and annoy a whole neighborhood by his plausible yot fal lacious representations. Tho church, the Stato, tbo social circle, businoss mon and politicians nro constantly tormented by this class of growlers. Our own experience is, that tho clans indicated always domand moro for themselves than they nro willing to concede- to others, and if their indi vidual demands aro not complied with, then a public wrong has bcon porpo- tralud. Oh I what ainrtyrs and put- riots they always aro in thoir. own estimation. Hut to tho question. Tho few dis contented spirits, who havo mined a howl over tho "Court House ring," and aro slandering our local nominees, and hobnobbing with tho lindical lead ers, for tho purposo of forming an in dependent ticket, (every one of whom wo could namo,) aro just such as wo have photographed. For years tho Chnirman of our County Committee has been importuned to do acts out tide of tho ordinary channels to ac commodate them or thoir especial frionds. They aro generully out of order, and retail their grievances bo- foro tho cnomy in as public a man ner as possible, instead of among tboir friends, who alone can givo thorn relief, providing thoir grievances aro real and not imaginary. Thoir personal hatred of ono or more of our nominees causes thorn to assail tho whole party machinery and all upon tho ticket, and they soon work tbomsclvcs op to tho position of reformers and public benofuctors in their own estimation and that of tho parly and becomo very noisy and enthusiastic in their work of regener ation. Theso men successfully accom plish two things. They succeed in annoying those who spend so mo timo and means for tho general good of tho party, and they become the confidents of tho enemy, and through thoir in strumentalities the wheol-horscBof the party are compelled to draw a boav ier load. Moro, they loudly proclaim their genuino democracy. This amounts to nothing whou done among their neighbors, where thoy are per sonally known, but thoy do mislead somo who are not pcreouully acquaint ed with thorn. , ' ; It is with very bad grace that some of tb oso individuals, who last year oritioisod their 'party frionds fur not slicking to "tho ticket," now aro ne gotiating with tho llndicals, to form a joint stock company, to defeat "tho ticket." Another illustration: Ills just as rcnsonablo for us to believe thut the frequenter of an assignation houeo is a virtuous man, as to have us believe that (hat individual is a truo Demo crat, who is always hnrping about tho great wrongs of his party friends. Wo writo this plainly, so that wo may not bo misunderstood, nnd havo mado a pair of shoes to fit soinobody, but wo adviso thoso to keep thoir toes out of them, who, upon trying them on, find thoy don't fit. Fraud t fraud t This is tho entire stock in trado of our political enomies and a few dis satisfied Democrats, when discussing our lute Primary Kloction. In sur voying tho Gold we cannot discover that any moro frauds were committed at tho lust Primary Kloction than on formor occasions, and wo would be very much obliged to those who dis cuss this question if they would put their charges in writing, and point out tho election poll at which the frauds wcro committed, namo the par ties engaged In it and then sign their proper names to tho charges. This would bo manly and dignified, and not mcro captiousness, of which there is loo much displayed in discussing tho quostinn; because, when these men nro asked wlicliior the nominees aro unworthy of their support or un qualified for tho positions thoy ore namod for, they invuriubly oxclnim : O, they aro competent," olo., follow. od bv. "but," "if," "nnd," olc. This is not nrgumont, and Democrats should nut resort to any other method when discussing facts. Won't Work. We aro credibly In formed that a few men who havo heretofore nctod wilh Iho Democratic part', aro negotiating a snlo of a por tion of tho party to John II. I'ulford Chairman of tho licdicul County Com mitteo, tho latter having informed thoso ho is coquotling wilh that ho has full authority in the premises, to buy and soil to suit purchasers. Wo hopo thoso who aro twitting thoir neighbors about frauds, will not turn around and perpotrato a more heinous fraud, and mako merchandise out of thoir political virtue Disastrous Flood. No sootion of tho country has boon so devastated by the late floods as the liltlo Stato of Dolawaro. Tho Chosapoako and Del aware canal, which crosses the Stato, has boon nearly ruined. The breaks in it aro so lnrgo that sooros of boats and vessels have boon swopt Into fields, whoro thoy are lying high and dry. It will lake two months to repair tho canal and make it passable again, Tho publio loss of bridgos and tho doslrue tiou of farm properties is very great. 1V Say Arbitrate. Wo notico that our Democratio Irionds, as woll as tho Itudicnls, in somo sections of tho Stato, nro budgor ini each other over some local nom-, (nations. Tho most sorious seems to bo In Fayolto aiid Grcon counties, ovor .President Judgo. Tho former county seems to bo prolific of groat mon. Thoy want all tho Judgos, Sen ators, and Indeod nearly ovorything. In Clarion and Forest, the fight is ovor Assombly, while tho Judgo question scorns also to disturb our frionds in Bucks and Montgomery. Why not adopt a common senso, business meth od to scttlo all such misunderstand ings f Why not arbitrulo T Let tho Chuirman of tho Stato Committoe, and the ' Chairmen in tho comities whoro a quarrol arises, each select a disinterested arbitrator, or allow the two contestants and tho Chairman of the Stale Committee to seloot throo arbitrators, fix a lime and plaoe for mooting tho parties, thoir friends and wilnosscs, and try the points at issuoj first, howevor, requiring the rcspoct ivo candidates to abido by tho deoiuion and judgment of tho arbitrators, and then "go for Uio sculp" of tho candi date who violates the agrcomcnt. Is not this plan feasible f If businoss and social affairs can bo adjusted in this manner, why cannot politics bo settled in' tho somo way. Let tho ap proaching State Convention tuko some action in tho matter. . Country Seat. Tho country seat of Juy Cook, the well known banker, in Cheltenham township, Montgomery county, contains, 200 acres of land,lo0 acres of which is cultivated. Tho namo is givon to tho place is "OgonU." The mansion is 190 by 157 foot, buili of stono, fivo stories high, including tho Mansard roof, and contains fifty- two rooms. Tho furnlluro is all of heavy walnut, elegantly carved, and tho rooms are covered with co.tly carpets, and lace curtains of tho finest tcxturo adorn tho. windows. The nniutings, tho deor park, the conserv atory, the aaiiuiium, tho rare trees and plants, tho walks, tho drives, the gas works, the green house, and ovory thing about the place, aro most olegant, costly and com pie to in their style On tho first floor of tho main tower of the dwelling is the private office of Mr. Cook, and in this is a battery by which bo can telcgruph to all parts of tho world. Aorrtstown Vejenaer. . Cook is the head of our American syndicate; in othor , words, Grant's bunkorand financial agent. Whenever there is a "fat take" on hands, "the government" informs Cook. Ho has mado fifteen million dollars out of our distress. Mitt a Slandrrl ' The Pittsburgh Evening Telegraphs edited by Presidont Grant's District Attorney for tho Western district of 1 onnsytvania, shows plucK in being tho vory first paper in this region, to come out and defend tho President's action in regard to tho back pay,front nav and increased par of government otlicials. This the Commercial and Gazette havo steadily refused to do.by oarolully avoiding any allusion to the rjxecuiive wnon uuiiuunemg mu gmu bors. and although invited to do so by tho Post at least twonty times. Tho Telegraph pulls off its coat, rolls up its sleoves and makes tho loiiowing lor- midablc dash ! "Wo challenge the Post to produce a particle of proof that tho Prosidont "lobbied lor tho Concicssionul dock pay. That he signed ttio"J.cgislultvo, Executive, nnd Judicial Appropriation Bill," which contained tho provisions for Congrosssional back-pay, wo ad mit, liut it was un act which now oecupios twonty-five pages of the Statutes at Lnrgo, passed ut tho very closo of the session, and on which do- ponded tho support of all throo lo partments of tho Government. Ho could not havo withheld his signature without cullinir an extra session ot Congress, tho expenso of which would havo been greater than tho whole amount involved." W by not bo honost and sav that tbo bill provided an extra hundred thous and dollars for Grant himself? And here wo must take issue with tho Tel egraph, as it is woll understood that there was timo enough to pass another bill, had Gi ant seen fit to uso tho veto; but he was afraid to refuse members of Congress an increase lest they would havo refused him tho snug sum of one hundred thousand dollars; and thats why he did not withhold his signature. This is the view the country takes of tout transaction, nomattor how much whitewash may bo usod tooovcritup. Again says tho telegraph'. "The PreaMrnt got no 'bask pa' by tho bill." Wo admit it. And why didn't ho f Simply bocnuse there is a provision in tho Constitution thut would stop a litllo camo of that sort, and it tho President hnd triod it on ho might havo been impeached. And again : "The naponaihillly of that larceny oannot be ahiflod on the Prefldont." If it was a larcony wo contond the Prosident hud moro to do with it than any living man, and in this opinion we quote tho Kadicul Goneral Garfiold, whose renutulinn and standing we don't think tho Telegraph will attack Tho Gonoral says: "My votk hid not make it a law, IIlS SIGNATURE DID." Of course it did, and Grant gets tlio largest shuro, and ho will "draw it." If telling tho truth about tbo grabbing nronensitics of Mr. Grant is slnndcr, then wo must admit that wo havo most foully slandered him. If not not. Post. Miraculous Emcai'k. Tho Now Castle Gazette slates that on the tll; inst., a liltlo fivo year old daughter of Mrs. Cambridge, residing on Chestnut street, in thut city, while playing near a well, stepped on ono ol tho boards of tho oover, which suddenly gavo way, lotting hor full into tho woll, which was about twonty-ono foot deep nnd conlainod six foot of water. Her tnothor, who had witnessed her fall, raised an alarm, which soon brought a nombor of persons to tho well, ono of whom, a man named John Meaner, was lowered by the windlass, and wilh considerable difficulty recovered tho body, which had luin undor wator nearly fivo minutes and was appar ently lifeless. Vigorous measures for resuscitation woro however immoill atcly employed, and respiration at length rcstorod. She ii now sopming ly ns well as over.

Carpel-bar financiering. South Carolina will begin tho fiscal ycur with a uoiictt oi about sovon hunurod thousand dollars. '1 bo iroas- ury is even now ompty. Inc appro- nriutions lor the year wore two nwi iion four hundrod thousand dollars, and tho receipts so fur. have reached ono million six hundred thousnnd dol lars. Of the accumulated debt under which the State i sluggoring and is practically bankrupt, suits have been ontcrcd to throw otr seven millions of conversion bonds, issued, us is claimed, without authority of luw. Tho Stuto TreuBurer of South Car olina publicly announces that he hopes tho courts will declure void and worth less seven millions of tbo conversion bonds of the commonwealth. This is a pluin acknowledgment thut those bonds wero illegally issued by tho Radical thieves who have ruled and plundered South Carolina. And yet they woro endorsed and upheld by General Grant and bis administra tion. M l'Bdir at Selinsoro vs. We loarn by tho Lewisburg Journal that Dr. P K. Wogonsellor, of Selinsgrovo, was so badly woundod with a knilo on Saturday evening that ho diod in 24) hours aflcrwurds. Tho statement of tho affair wo havo hoard is ss follows: Dr. Wagenseller employed a man who occasionally got drunk. On Satur day this man in company with a your.g man nnmed Wenrich, ninoloon years old, got on a snroo. In tho evening Dr. Wagonscller mot Wenrich ana charged him with gelling his hired man drunk, when Wenrich callod him a liar. Wagonsollor told Wenrich if bo would call him that again be would slriko him. Wenrich repeated the lio, and Wagonsoller struck him over the mouth; Wenrick immediately drew a knifo and cut Wagonsellor across the stomach, from which ho diod on Sun dny evening.

Dr. Wagonsoller was ono of the Republican candidates lor the Snyder county nomination for Sena tor: but his brother, Dr. il. r . wegen- seller, was tho successful candulnlo. Tho deceased was ono of the leading ing men of Snyder county, and the sympnlluos are with his lumily. An Amkrican Triumph. Tho Vi enna correspondent of tho Now York Tribune says that the tnui ot mowers and roapors, at tho Vienna Exposition, was acomiileto triumph lor the A men cans.
