When a Democratic newspaper calls at tention to General Grant's incapacity for the position he now occupies, the Radical press cry ont—" Look how he is paying the debt!" To the grave charges made to his re ceiving presents ; to his appointment of unfit men to high offices ; to his disgrace ful nepotism ; to his neglect of business,' and constant junketing about at watering places as - a first class dead head; to his blundering foreign policy ; to his unwise and impracticable suggestions on the tar iff and the revenue ; to his improper use of the Military power in the South ; in short to every:charge made against Pres ident we have but one reply —" Look how I be is paying off the debt !" When Congress is assailed, we hear the same cry—" Look how the debt is being paid." Do we point to the acknowledged corruption of the National Legislature ; to the jobbery, the bribery, and the sale of votes; to the wanton distribution of the public domain among a set of greedy corporators, by which Congress men profit largely ; to the class legisla tion Which imposes (morons burthens up on the masses for the benefit of a favored few ; to the extravagant appropriation of the public money ; to , the costly adminis tration of the government ; to the vile means Used to control elections ; to the rascally decision of contested election ea ses ; to the sale of cadetships and other villainies - of Radical members—the only answer ire get is, " Look how the debt is being paid." We have looked ; and we find the Sec retary of the Treasury making a false ex hibit monthly by excluding the Pacific Railroad bonds from the count. But, suppose we were to take his showing as cerreet, what credit is due to the present administration ? Let that able and in fluential Republican newspaper, the Ne w York Sea, answer. It says: "The public debt was diminished over seventeen millions of dollars in the month of July, and the partisan press boast of the fact as a matter exceedingly credita ble to the present administration. But what else could be done with the mon ey except to pay it out upon the public debt? It was in the Treasury, and must either be applied to this use or stolen. Be sides, how is the administration entitled to particular credit for having so large a sum of money in the Treasury? The taxes which produced this sum were ler iciiibefore Gen.

As the Prussians have failed in their attempt to prevent Bazaine's retreat to his new lines, and have been : hurled back upon the Moselle, it seems likely that an interregnum in the fighting of a couple of weeks may follow, during which the combatants will recuperate their shattered strength. Either :this or a re treat of the Prussians into Germany. Marshal Illumine in his latest , telegram promises to resume the offensive. It may be said, in short, that since Wednesday the military situation has changed decid edly in favor of the French. In the late battles the Prussian Gener als Dolring and- Widel were killed, and two other generals were wounded. The French Generals Bataille and Froseard are also reported badly wounded. ; The siege of Strasbourg is very languid ly conducted by the Prussians, and the French have been enabled to throw "in additional reinforcements. A naval bat tle has occurred off the island of Bugen, in the Baltic, but no serious result appears to have followed. The Paris journals comment bitterly upon the attitude of Austria„ which is neutral in the present struggle, wheni with barely one hundred thousand troops she might avenge Sadowa. The Daily Pews, of yesterday, says, semi-officially, that English hopes of succeeding in interven tion have been abandoned. ' General Trochu has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of Paris and its defences, and has issued a proclamation to the people. There is immenseactivity in the Paris defences. The laborers are absolutely swarmiug on the fortifications. It is hinted that this measure of strength ening the works is due more to a wish to keep dangerous classes busy than to any actual fear.— World -----....5...---- Tbe War.

Respect Your Own Opinion's A proper- respect for the opinions of others does not reipiire that We shall pre tend to believe as they do. For various reasons people often assent to and smile upon views wholly opposite their own. Perhaps they do not wish to injure the feelings of others, or they de sire to gain friendship or good-will,too4- tain favors and services politically, in a business way, or socially. Bat this is a very bad plan, and can only succeed a few times before ready shifting from one okiivt ion to another isinarked to a community ; and in their endeavors to respect the opinions of others, those who indulge in that kind of policy lose all " etaim to. or power to command, respect for them selves. An individual may entertain unpopu lar opinions on important topics which affect the character and life, and yet com mand the respect of those in the popular current of ideas, if he never acts the cow ard, or fears to defend and give a reason for the light which is in him and he is a sober citizen. Of all things the mind which dare not stand by an honest opinion is most to be pitied, and the weakness despised. good ideas tremblingly advanced, as if under protest. are eclirsed by a bold, courage ous promulagation of something not half as good. If you have any Opinion at all do not he blown about by every, passing zephyr, for you never will amount to any thing worth mentioning if you are. Something Rotten In Denmark.

This was a heavy instrument ; Lut it only sinned the clerk. The other, beingstartl ed, jumped up, and endeavored to shoot a revolver.at the burglar, but it missed fire. It, was then thrown aside, and. one or both of the two gruppleA the bu rglar,get- Ling him down and takidg:crom him his instrument, turned it against him. The other clerk gut a stool-head, and saying "let's make, quick work of him," they at once beat, him so that he was fur the time disabled. WILLIAM But he called for help, and his fellows came from the lower or basement floor, in which place they were securing goods they haul carried from the first floor, where the struggle was taking -place, and dragging their companion away, carried him down stars. 'File clerks stood at the head of the stairs prepared to defend themselves, and endeavoring, we presume, to give an alarm,. The other briglars----as we are told— fearing exposu4., shot, -from below three of the balls hitgiug in the-ceiling. Then they rushed up; and in a- melee which followed, not compreheusively described, the clerk Idirick was grasped by one of them, while the other, instantly putting a revolver at his head, shot and killed him. The three than fled. The scoundrels carried nothing, or next to nothing, from the store. A package of silks, ruined ut from ten to fifteen hundred dollars, was found ready to be taken away.. A strong cord was around the pieces.of goods. The burglars wore masks, that in the strttggir they lost' and -these , are now, with the tools, etc, it the store. But there are no other trades of them_ it is believed, however, that one of them bears marks of the struggle by which he may be identified. ' WILLIAM." The alarm was given, the fire-bell was rung, and in a quarter of an hour, a hundred men or more were at the store. Such a time of excitement has rarely if ever been known in Binghamton. If the murderers had been caught,.they would have been torn to pieces by the infuriat ed citizens. Miriek lived fora short time after he was shot, but was unconscious.

TWO DEAD IDURDETIERS FOUND Thursday Morning's News. ..-..._. , . About five o'clock this morning Calvin A. Brewer, a clerk in the post-office, was crossing the Chenango river bridge to go from his home to the office, and when over the centre pier his attention was at tracted by the.'brdv..nf n man_ floating near the 4tLoni a iEh his face downward. The head was fa - emost in the slight cur rent. and a linewmit was washed up be hind the head. When abaft three rods above the pier the feet caught to some large stone& and for a short time the body wa.. held fast. About the time the body caught on the stones Mr. Arthur T..Thonipson, a cart man, came on the bridge from the eastern end. and after looking a moment at the body, Mr. Brewer and Mr. Thompson. and went after Ihm.body. Before they got to it the feet had worked off of the stones and the body floated .down under the bridge, to the east of the pier. Mr. Brewer took hold of the coat, and Mr. Thompson rowed the boat ashore, at the watering place below the bridge, on the eastern side. Mr. Brewer than notified Sheriff Mart in, and Mayor Cimgdon.of the discovery of the body, i g i f t_ those, officers, with a large crowd of people Were soon gathered around the body, and it waB taken into the basement of J. S. Frear& Son's shop. Li [SCR' PTION OF THE FIRST BODY This body was 5 feet and .7 inches tall, stoutly built, with large, full face and moustache, and sawn hair, cut pretty short. It was dressed in gray Scotch cassimere pantaloons,- blue broadcloth coat and vest, a linen overcoat, and India rubber shoes, fitting tightly. The right eye was badly bruised and swollen as if it had received a hard blow with some blunt instrument, soma little time before death. A small gold watch found in the vest had been stopped at 2:24, showing, some persons think, , precisely the time the burglars went into the water. If the case was perfectly tight, however, it is likely that the watch "ran down" at the time indicated. 'Experiments with it would doubtless determine the question. • The other. body, thatrof .the smaller and most injured man, was first' seen by-E. P.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TITE MERRICK ESEIDEI3 The notorons Edward H. fluloff. giv ing his name as George Williams, it will be recollected he our readers was tried and convicted for the murder of his wife and child in Tompkins Co., N. Y. some ten or twelve years ago, has been ar rested and from circumstances it is pretty well believed that he was one of the mur derers in the lifirick Tragedy. He was first arrested examined and released, and afterward rearrested and upon examina tion it was found that his foot, which many will remember was frozen off in this state in the woods when he • was se creting himself from the authorities, ex actly corresponds with the shoe left in the Store where the murder was com mitted. All circumstances seems to point quite conclusively to him us the third party in this terrible affair. Another Robbery In Binghamton. About nine o'clock last Thursday even ing a young man abor.t eighteen years of age, named Dwight Seymour; son of Dan iel Seymour, who lives on Robinson street, was going home from the post-of fice by way of Washington street, and when passing the log way in front of Lew is mills, a man stepped out into the street ahead of him. The man dropped a hand kerchief, and stooped down to pick it up, thus occupying a few seconds of time. That operation was repeated once or twice, until the boy came np along side of him, and when the mail straightened up the last time he seized the boy by the throat and held him so tightly. that he could not give the alarm. Ile then delib erately felt in all his pockets, and finally took a pocket-book containing eight dol lars and some cents out of his pantaloons pocket, withdrawing his hand so finial:ly that it made airad rent by the side'of the lie then drew a pistol in the buy's face, released the grasp on his throat, and after backing a few paces with the pistol pointed at the boy's head, he turn ed and ran down toward the mills. The boy was too badly frightened to give the alarm immediately, and he said nothing about it until he had gone as far as Kent's grocery, above the railroad. He 11;as then persuaded to come back to the police Office and acquaint the policeman with the factbf the robbery. Men were sent out in search•of the viilian, but suf ficient time had elapsed before they got on his truck to enable him to escape ar rest.—Staudard. • Qar Arun DINTNEU NAPS.—Many persons are in habit of sleeping for half an hour or. hour' immediately after dinner.

The chair man inqnired where one could be procur-' ed.. A Colored' man 'said he had' ttidt;Aind offered to mount his mule and ride to his house, two - miles sway, for it. , As thy could not think , of swearing - its members without one, his offer was accepted, and proceedingsvere suspended till his return. There were thirty meu to be sworn! in, and, as the officers officiating were very particular to see that each one laid his hands on the open Bible, the ceremony was quite a lengthy one. After the league had been formed, business transacted and the meeting broken up,.the chairman dis covered, to his horror, that the supposed Bible WIL3 a copy of Shakspere. It was too late to remedy the. mistake. 'Mum was the word.' So he carefully handed back the 'Bible' to its owner, not even ventarin„ri to inquire if he ever encounter ed any difficulty in finding his, minister's text on his return from meeting. In the Labor Congress at Cincinnati on the 16th, a Mr. Chtiiinings, of Masai chuatt ts, offered a resolution recommend ing the formation of an independent pol itiml party, to be known as the National Labor Reform party, for the protection fiy the ballot, of the interests of the work ing people.; and for the appointment of a committee in each State to call a nation al convention to organize , such party. The resolution, though debated, was net acted upon. The committee on Platform re ix,rted in favor of the repeal of the na tional banking system, the payment of five-twenties in currency, the. taxation of bonds, the modification of the tariff, and against the squandering of the public hinds to corporations and monopolists. —The negro Senator Revels brought with him to Washington a private Secre tary. Whether white or colored the pa pers do not state, hut is now announced that the sable senator has turned his Sec retary adrift and the poor fellow finds tittusiqt- iu a strange land, wlthoat Mends and "nary red" in his pocket. A subserip- Gin has been started in his behalf, head ed by Senator - Sumner, who subscribes live dollars. The impecunious Secretary is iu Washington where the black Sena tor left him, when he started out to en lighten the white Radicals of Yankee land. • —North Carolina elects five Conserva tive Congressman out of the seven, has thirty-three ont of the fifty-three State Senators, and eighty-two ont of the• one hundred and twenty members- of the tion,e, which insures a Democratic -Uni ted Senator, vice Abbott, of New }lamp. shire, retired. Graut backed Holden but who backed Grant.? The Negro Cadet. It seems by the report-of the commit tee appointed to-examine into the allega tions made b}}• the negro cadet at West Point that the black scamp was lying. Had he been a White boy he would in all probability have been dismissed, but be ing the first negro sent to the Military Academy, and - the negro vote being now a thing to be carefully courted by the Radicals, he is only reprimanded.
