IT is a gratifying and significant fact that our national securities have ad vanced since the Chicago Convention. With the curse of Johnsonism removed, and Grant and Colfax at the head of au administration, we shall have stability, honesty and econemy. IT is as hard for the Democracy to con ceal their anxiety over the Chicago Con vention as it is for our lady friends to dispose of their old hoop skirts. Neither can be sold, bartered nor concealed with out a great deal of trouble. Tux copperhead papers are writing up Lee as a greater General than Grant, and rebel troops as braver men than the Union soldiers. They did the same in '64 but it didn't amount to anything prac tically, and the chaalces don't seem to have improved since Appomattox. THE Cincinnati Inquirer assails Speaker Colfax because he offered a resolution for the expulsion of Alexander B. Long from Congress, when the latter during, the war, declared he hoped the Union arthy would be defeated. We hope the Copperhead papers will keep publishing the fact. Tun Charleston Mercury threatens that South Carolina will bolt the Demo cratic nomhiation, and let the party "go to the devil together," unless the ap proaching Natiohal Convention shall in sert into its platform a declaration against universal suffrage. IN Taunton, Joseph L. Titus tried to steal a box of figs from, the store of Evanda Prey. Praysaw him, chased him, fired three stones from a revolver at him, arrested and handed him over the police. Titus is a Democrat. AT Bowling Green, Ky., was murdered last Saturday a returned Union soldier of Kentuelsy--bis crinseothe snearitkg of bine. lie was killed on tits own thres hold, in the presence of his wife, who too was tired on and wounded. Such is Democracy. .I,x declaring tkat whiikeyls onty a luxury and not a necessity," jhe Itew York Herald has raised a terrible howl from the ranks of the Democracy. Brick Pomeroy contends that the doctrine of " whiskey as 4 necessity " must be insist ed upon as a fundamental principle of Democracy. Um Copperheads find fatfit because Grant is so silent. He certainly made enough noise for the Democratic party at Vicksburg and Appomattox. They would have been gratitiOd,no4ioubi, had, he been silent , theral . Tnt Augusta, Ga., Apublican (Radi cal) favors general amnesty—contending that no benefit can be derived from keep ing pains and penalties, which are never enforced, hanging over the heads of a large portion of the people. THZ tax collector of Houston county, Georgia, one of the largest and wealthi est counties in the State, is a negro, nom inated and elected on the " Democratic " or rebel ticket. Has the Lancaster In telligencer anything to say? A CtirrtionLab Piper says': " It was the Deiioci'ats who brought the war to a successful issue." Of course they did —by their unconditional surrender to Grant M Fort Donelson, yicksburg and Appomatton. .t, 't ALL that is needed to se cures rousing " victory for Grant and Colfax next No vember is thorough organization and effective work.jiet every Ikepublican celestite/IA irkconimittft of one twee that the thing is done. Tintlapublican joiirnals of California, who bolted during the last year's cam paign, and caused the defeat of the State ticket, have all placed the names of Grant and Colfax at the head of ; their columns. Tins madhig Copperheads no:* admit that without a large proportion of the negro vote the nomination of a candidate against -Brink will be a needless eere aony. - Britt Pomeroy. we take , for granted, will in future drop thdo " dth—" and embince'the " dear digger." A COPPZAREAD exchange calls the Chicago Convention " a wake." It will *ale 'lets of Copperhead , snakes .:rest November. fml hews. PZRBOITAL. —A. Southern exchange says: " There is a certain girl in this city who talks so much, and knows all about everything that does or does not happen, and everything that is going to happen, besides a good deal else, that it has been suggested that the Postmaster seriously , contemplate the propriety of taking the letter list from the newspa. and - grring *ter berc thelyeund that she has the largest circulation of any medium in town." querie : How many sich like " -we in Lancaster ?

TrIE PAMI . O7S RETURN. — We hear tily endorse the following suggestion, which we clip from the eolwnbia Spy : "From present indications we may ex pect Congress to adjourn in the course of a month, when our glorious old represen tative, Mr. Stevens, will return to Lan caster county. Can any good and true Republican conceive a more fitting move ment than the ovation of a 4rand recep tion of that time-honored friend of man as he touches the soil of Lancaster county ? " TILE HAPPY FAMILY."—The Pen dleton escort, numbering about four hun dred precious souls (?)—rebels, bounty jumpers, Canada sneaks, prison birds, Klu-Kluxers and "sieh"—passed through this city on Wednesday night on their way to the political menagerie to .be held to-morrow at Fire Points, New York. Of course they were all sober ! What a good time the buzzards will have over the carcass of the Copperhead party. THE FOUNEII,O-As yet no arrange ments have been made by our city au thorities for the proper celebration of the coming Fourth of July. Querie : Who is responsible ?
