hnvb but ouo consolation in tho midst
of this gloomy depression iu business ;
nml (hut is: If we aro compelled to
surrender and bo made subject to the
Radical rod that is ruling over us, tiiou
aunds of others will accompany us in
tho general crash and we will not be
left alone in the highway to bankruptcy.

TUE OBJECTIONABLE FEAT-
URES.
We wero a acalous advocate of tho
new Constitution. Although there
wero some clauses in it wo did not ap
prove, we preferred to accept it as a
whole, and labor for it proper amend
ment afterwards. During the sum
mer Gov. llartranft, In accordance
with an act of Assembly, appointed a
Commission to suggest ammendmenls
(if any) to the next Legislature. This
Committee has held a number of ses
sions, but no one seems to know what
it has done, nor will tho public know,
until the Committee sends its report in
to the next Legislature.
We could suggest sevoral amend
ments to tho Committee, but for fear
wo might bo considered egotistical, or
asking too much, wo will only refer to
one at this time.
The Convention very wisely made
provision lor minority representation
jn the several Boards of County Com
missioners and Auditors. That is a
' proper adjustment, in a party sense, but
it is of doubtful propriety when viewed
in a businoss way. tinder tho new
codo, three Commissioners and three
Auditors are to be inducted into office
on the 1st Monday of January, 1876,
probably not one of tho six having
evor spent an hour in either office to
learn anything about the dutica they
aro then about to assume more ap
prentices and yot expected to prop
erly administer public aflairs, involving
millions of dollarsof tho people's money.
Doe a railroad company, or a bank,or
any other businoss organization, turn
all its old employes off at one time
and fill their places with men who
know but little about the business thoy
aro about to en tor on? Will any
merchant, blacksmith, carpenter, or
tho man who runs a log job or saw
mill, jeopardize his business in a simi
lar manner? We think not.
Now, we suggest that the Constitu
tion be so amended as to have both
political parties rcprcsentod, but in
such a way that all are not turned out
at once. ' It is the experience of every
man who has filled the office of Com
missioner or Auditor, that he knows
but little about his duties the first, or
even the second, year be is in office,
and that he can learn something every
year, and is only properly qualified to
discharge his duties with satisfaction
to tho public and with pleasure to him
self at the end of tho second, if not tho
third, yoar of his Incumboncy.
As these boards have been consti
tuted in tho past, one member was
elected each yoar, to servo for throo
years. Hence the senior momber had
at least two years' experience, and
could profitably Impart his knowledge
to thojunior members. But as hereafter
constituted, all aro turned out at once
and new mon put in their place' The
party feature is correct, and were wo
to remain in tho Commissioners' office
for the next fifty jrnara. we would
rather bavo a liadieal in the Commis
sioners' office, than as now organized,
because while slandering us the slan
derers would bo compelled to libel some
of their own friends.
If the Constitution is not amendod
in some way, so as to always keep up
a rotation in those offices, the officers
will become mere figure heads, because
business, after all, will supersodo poli
tics, and compel tho employment of
clerks without responsibility, in theso
officos for an indefinite number of years,
and the principal or responsible parties
will be ignored, flotation is tho true
businoss rulo, but turning out all at
once is a burlesque npon all business.
Our partisanship is rather of the ex
tremo kind, we confess. Tot we pre
fer businoss and common sense in pub
lic as well as private affairs. Tho man
who has never paid any attention to
the dutioa of a County Commissioner
Of Auditor, is no bettor fitted, the first
year, to discharge his duties, than ho
would b for he taken Into a black
smith shop, 0 "eld a Deri toe (made out

Iiemarkublo as it may seem, wc have
dispatchos to the effect that the Demo

of Congress, and havo carried nearly
ovory Stuto in which elections wero
held yesterday.
Tho Stale, district and county tick

Wo bavo bused our estimates on

1873, when Hutchinson had A12 ma

boroughs in tho county, wo bavo re
ported gains of 3!'2, making our ma
jority thus fur 1,304, and if tho bal
ance of the county gives similar gains,
our majority in tho county will reach
1,500. Tho county ticket seems but
very little behind tho Htiito ticket.
A dispatch from Lock Haven states
that II r. Mackey curried that city by 010

DiidiNKiNUTo VYobk. The fashiona
ble watering places having all been
closed and tho horscrncing season
brought to an end, "tho government"
has again re turned to Washington, the
winter headquarters of the Grant-Dent
families, and something like business
has boon commenced. The President
had a Cabinet mootingon Friday ,wkiuh
demonstrated that tho heads of tho
State, War and Kavy Departments
were still on the wing, as neither rish,
Belknap nor Ilobcson reported at head-
quarters. Wo prosumo,bowever, that
the cold weather, will soon freeze tho
President and his Cabinet to their scats,
so that some of them can at least bo
found at the Capitol to transact public
business, from now until the first of
May.
Wi ahi A Little AnZAn. Wo no
tice that a large numbed of newspaper
publishers proposo to raise their prices
of subscription, on and after January
next, from the fact thut they are com
pelled to pay tho postago on all papers
sent without tho county in which they
are published. We proposo to do no
such thing, although wo have greatly
enlarged tho Rkptblican recently.
We tborefore intend to give our readers
forty per cent, more reading in the
future, without raising the price of
subscription, and if we go down under
"the government" pressure wo believe
our patrons will help to get us on our
feet again.

TJON. President Grant lias issued the fol

A PRIMULA NATION.
We aro reminded by the changing
seasons that it is time to pause in our
duily avocations and oiler thanks to
Almighty God for the mercies and
abundance of tho year which is draw
ing to a close. The blessings of a free
government continue to be vouchsafed
to us; the earth hot resKinded to the
labor of the husbandman ; the land ha
been tree from pestilence; internal
order is being maintained and ieare
with other powers ha prevailed. It is
fitting that at stated periods we should
cease from our accustomed pursuits
and from the turmoil of our daily lives
and unite in thnnkfuhies fur the bless
ings of tho past and in the cultivation
of kindly feelings toward each other.
Now, therefore, recogniaing theso con
siderations, 1, I' lyases S. Grant, Presi
dent of tho I'nited States, recommend
to ull citisens to nssemblo in their re
spective places of worship on Thursday,
the 2Sth day of Novemlwr next, ami
express their thanks for tho mercy and
favor of Almighty God, and, laying
aside all political contentions and ail
secular occupations, to olswrve such
day as a day uf rest, thanksgiving and
praise.
In witness whereof, I have set my
hand and caused the seal of the Vnited
States to lie sllixetl.
Done at tho city of Washington this
27th day of October, in tho year

TEN SUBSTANTIAL REASONS
Hon. Holiert Hoses, until recently a
staunch llcpublican, addrescd a mass
meeting in ('inciunnuti, when ho guvo
ten reasons why hoopposed theprosont
administration. They are as follows:
1. I oppose it for its dishonesty in
violating tho promise of its platform,
"economy and responsibility."
1. I oppose it lor its profligacy in
squandering tho public money oil use
less and unlaw tttl schemes.
3. I oppose it for its folly exhibited
in tho Han Domingo and other foreign
questions.
4. I opiKise it for its contemptible
attempts to establish the customs of
huropenn Courts, and the abandon
ment of Kepiiblican simplicity.
B. I npiMiso it for its mountebnnk
(invemment 011 whcols, moving over
thocountry like a traveling nipiiodroino.
6. 1 npiose it for its injustice and
cruelty to tho South.
7. I opposo it for accepting bribes,
gifts, Ac. "lie thut receivcth gifts
overlhroweth tho lontl." "Thou shall
take no gift, lor the gifl blindeth tho
wise.
8. 1 oppose it for prostituting its
Mwer in npiMiint incuts to public trusts,
mora regard being paid tocnnsangiiiii
ity to the President than to character
or fitness for oflice. '
9. I opimae it because It has permit
ted (ienernl (intut to ho named for a
third term a wanton insult to tho
people which should be stamcd under
ovory patriot's heel.
10. 1 oppose It because it has do-
partod from the honest path of its pre
decessors, and because, More (ind and
man, I believe it to lie tho most cor
rupt Administration tlutt has over
cursed this people.
Tho Mobilo RegMrr says:
Gov. Lewis, of Alabama, with a
view to pleasing the negroes, has ai-
polntvd to the ntllce or Judge of Dallas
county a negro named Oscar Hunter,
who cannot write, and who slims his
name to the minntes of the Court by a
cross-mark.
A Dksolati Oopntr v. ('lilcaffo, Ilo-
norut of distress in Kansas and Ne

NORTHERN MEN OF NORTH
ERN PRINCIPLES."
The editor of the Indianapolis Jour
nal seems to bo envious of tho bad
eminence which I'hnrles Ananinsllsys,
of Alabama, has attained as an able
bodied and robust liar. Just read the
following, which, if it does not contain
quite as many sillv falsehoods as can
be fount) within tlio covers ol Baron
Munchausin, is certainly slanderous
and venomous to tho last degree, and
removes all doubts of tho doctrine of
total depravity. (Quoting from a
statement that many (southerners are
seeking tbeir fortunes successfully in
tho North, this vicious and untruthful
writer says :

to ertl-rerperting perooni. Ae a coneeqoeoec, tho

lame oooeluiioa, that the ilow nrogrtii el reeon
tract ioa in the South, and the precrnt prortmtioa
of tbo Southern Sluice are owing mainly to the
roily, the mnl'gutty, and the bad fnilh of the
Somalia pooplo.
Calling the scape-gallowses and juil
hlnls, who are now plundering tho
whito men of tho noutli, honest
"Northerners who have been rash
enough to seek their fortunes in tho
South," is not only an insult to indus
trious Northern emigrants, but an out
niiitsmo and unmitigated falsehood.
Had the iiiliaiiaHilis'ournii said those
"rash Northerners' went South to
wk othir peoM fmiunrt (nnd found
them, t'X ! ) it would be mora 111 uc
cortluiico with facts. Of course this
remark only applies to tho pestilent
vermis known aa "carpet-naggers

close of tho war to "seek their for

pocket and a set of bunrlar's tools in

and scalawags at once, and nibbed the
impoverished and almost ruined peo-
witnoiit merry. "OocKing their for

might a pickpocket or a sueuk thief
when he was detected in plying his
vocation in a country village, claim
that ho "emigrated'' f rom Massachus
etts to "sock his fortune," and Mas "os
traeised" and "persecuted." Tmo, lie
did fro to tbn Vtllsire In "aeelr Ilia for.

being strictly in accordance with hon
esty, he is sent lo tho nearest peniten
tiary, whining thut bis only crime was
that ho was "rash enoimn to "seek
his fortune" among strangers, and Was
"erscculed and "ostracised because
he was a "Northern man with North

without being "iK-rsccuted and "tar
traeised" on account of thoso prlnci
pics, is a deliberate falsehood, which
nobody knows belter than its hrur.cn
anil shameless utterer. 1 hut "North

not Deen "well received in tlio Nouth,
is a fact, and piny whv should they
bef The only wonder is that theso
slimy vultures these nnsomnlo, thiev
ing carrion crows have not been driv

ference between tho reception which
tho earjiot-bagger receives in the Mouth
and Iho treatment which tho honest
and Industrious Southerner rocoives
In tho North when he comes amongst
us, can bo very easily accounted for,
and here It is : When tho Southerner
arrives in New York, Boston, Phila
tlclplila, or oven Indianapolis, lie does
not seek tho "negro quarter," autl ninko
boon companions of its vicious, do
prared and dishonest denltoim. Whon
the carpet-bagger is "rash enough to
seek Ins fortune in tho South," the
very first thing he does is to gain the
conftdenco of a certain number of do
haiiched and worthless negroes, herd
ing with them till they elect him to
oflice, and then lie "socks his fortune,"
not by honest Industry oh no I ho
"seeks" It in the pockets of those who

TIIEM1LFO RDIIA NKE OBfl EH Y.
A FAMILY Of SEVK.t PXHSONS IIOPND
TIIK CASHIER TAKKN TO Til K BANK A
COOL ANU Al'IlACIOCS A1TAIH.
From an interview with Mr. F. T.
Sawyer, of Milfbrd, and the members
ol his household, tlio Nashua (Aew
Hampshire) Tilcirdih gives the follow
ing account ot the robbery ot the
SouthcjmiiNutionul Bank, nnd Mi I ford:
Thutsicraducs effected an entrance
to .Mr. hswyers bouso hy turning the
key in the piitzxa door with a pair of
plyers. They then ascended to the
yecond story, probably by tbo front
stairway, and proceeded at onco to Mr.
Siiwyer's liedrooui. Sawyer was awak
ened hy having a bund phiccd ii'ii
his tin-out, and a voice coolly suit! :
"Wo want you, sir." The hand of
another villain was placed upon tlio
throat or Jlrs. Hawyer at tlio siinic
time, und presently sho was rudely
taken from her bed with her inliint
child and plnccd in a chair. Sho re
sisted with all her strength, and cried
out until choked to silence. The erica
uf the child apparently made tbo men
nervous, so much so thut they niude
several threats of violcnco if it was not
instantly hushed up.
Tho struggle with Mr. Sawyer was
progressing ul! tbo while, two of
the ruffians having him upon the
side of the bed, forcing huudcuffs upon
him, a gag 111 ado of a piece of a broom
hamllc, with a bolo to breathe through
bored in thu centre, was thrust into
his mouth, and a "twister put upon
bis neck. Ho was then allowed to put
011 his pantaloons (from tho lsickei of
which 0110 ut the thieves abstracted
$20,) and slippers, and a coat was placed
upon his shoulders. Ho was handled
rapidly, but it did not seem to bo the
intention of tho men to injure him.
All tho intnir were masked, ami Mr.
Sawyer thinks all were barefooted;
they hud dark lanterns, a full kit of
tools, and apparently a thorough kuowl
odgo of tho premises, the number of
members (seven J ol tlio Household.
During tho slrUL-L'le with Mr. and Jlrs
Suwyer their attention was called to
the screamini; of tho servant -girl, Mary
A. Bnslcrick, in another apartment,
when two of tho gang made a bold all
push to "quiet her." Kho was seised
the head and an attempt was niado to
smother her, but sho strui'irled and
fought like an enraged tiger, and was
not conquered until they hud uraiticd
her from her bed by the hair of her
bead, choked ber to silence, and hand
cuffed her hands behind her.
In the meantime the two boys, Fred,
aired twelve, and his brother, aired six,
would not bo quiet, and ono of the
men took ono under each ann and
hustled them into a closet and tho irirl
iir after them. Tho closet door was
then fastened with screws, and several
holes boied through it to admit the air.
1 he work ol disposing ot the other in
mates of tbo bouso was rapidly ac
complished by other members of the
gang. 31 rs. lawyer was iiiindctitied,
and, with her inliint child nnd oldest
daughter, Bertha, placed in the closet
or her slocping-nsiiu, tho despemdoci
first placinir chairs for them to sit on
Tho door was fastened with screws, as
in tho first instance, and six holes
bored to admit tho air. One of the
milium expressed concern lest there
was not enough air for them, and so
two additional holes were bored.
Two men were detailed to watch
tho inmates of tbo house, and tho oth
ers (Mr. Suwyer thinks there were
twelve in all) Conducted Mr. Sawyer
to the bank
nk. Thu two mon thai staved
behind made themselves perfectly at
home. They sauntered about thchousc,
talked pleasantly with Mrs. Mawycr,
advising her to keep quiet. They
burned air. Ntwyer lo the bank
soon as possible, crossing tho suspeii
sion bridge and passing through ynitls
and cross lota, and demanded to know
where the keys were. Ho told them
ho had not got tho vault keys, anil
when ho refused to tell them where
they were tbo "twister" was given an
extra turn, and ho was made inscnsi
bio. At tlio bank Mr. Sawyer was
again asked where the keys were.-
Ono of tbo men said, "d n you, you
havo lied to us. Wo ain't going to
lose our summer's work. Now own
up." Tho "twister" 111 ado him inscnsi
hie, but npon reviving he concluded
that his safety depended upon answor
ing their questions, and so ho told tbeui
no would find them in tho postnfllco
box. Ilo waa placed in a chair and
guarded while two of tho mon went to
tlio poatofllco, liroko a light of glass,
thrust a band through, turned a catch
hoisted a window and jumped in. Af
ter this they unbolted and opened the
front door, obtained the keys and re
turned to tho bank. Mr. Sawver
opened tno vault, wnoniney proceeded
to examine us contents. Une ol them
asked prevlonsly if there was $00,000
in it, and seemed Quite disappointed to
learn that tho amount they would
..... 1
prohiiiiiy make out ot tlio lob was so
small. As near as can bo estimated
without the statement of ull tho suf
ferers tho totul loss Is about $100,000.
Tho robbers bavins irivon Mr. Saw-
yer in charire ol two companions whose
duty it was to take him homo, which
lliey did as lively as circumstances
would permit ctsillr locked tho out
side door of tho bund building and sep
arntod. On tho tramp homo Mr. Saw
yer noticed a watchman at one of the
nulla, and the Indiana, fearing difficulty,
;avo llio "twister a turn that rendered
lilin Insensible. Ho was hurried for
ward, however, and nt his honso con
ducted to ono of tho bedrooms, placed
in ajchair, bis legs bound to the rounds,
the chair fastened to tho bedstead post,
ami tno bed luslentHl to the door by
cords made of strips of sheets, lied
through tho rye of stage sere wit, which
wore screwed Into tho floor for lhat
purpose. Ibis was to prevent Mr.
Sawyor from reaching the window to
