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. Grant came into power,
and it is no merit of his that they happen

F The War Record.
Tffe series of great battles betereeti the
French and . Prussians which 'began on
Sunday We're blitz ap*rstabave ended.
The fighting continued MondiyiTlicitileY,
and Wedensday, and ra,ged over all that
country between" the Adoselle and the ,
Meuse aboie Nancy and below Metz
.aad
Verdun. The decisive battle evidently
took place on Wednesday near Doncoart,
and in Marshall Bazaine's despatches an
advantageirclaimed for the 'French, who
are said - to have slept on the field after the
fl ght. The Prussuing had 42009 men
engitged; and- VIC result Wei" that they
were "repulsed all along the liner and
driven back ripen the Moselle,: The later
dispatches from the French headquarters
leave no doubt that Baosine has Isneeeed
ed in carrying out his strategiemovement,
which was to withdraw hie; whole array,
with the exception of the :garrisob at
Metz, to the neighborhood of ;Chalons,
where he can force battle at an immense
advantage for himself if the Prussians
persist in pressing forward ripen. Paris.
His communications have been reestab
lished with Trochu and MacMahon, and
it is now claimed that he hese large army
under his command than that-opposing
him. 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

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.

At half past two o'clock this (Wednes

dry goods store of b. M. 8 E. G. Halbert,

Frederick A. Mirkk„ and escaped. From

%brick 4nd Gilbert, AtirroWs,.:Who were
sleeping there, witsnivakened. • Aturglar,
who stood by,apparently watching them,
struck Burrows , , (the clerk who had
awakened) with an iron chissel or "pry."
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.

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. '

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

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.
Reynolds, from the windoir of his, resi

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.
This is a bad practice. Ten minutes sleep
before dinner is worth more than an
hour after. It rests and refreshes and

If sleep is 'taken after dinner it should be

07 A lay in FairfieldT county, Tenn.,
sends to the Independent the following
story, with the assurance that it
is the simple truth : "At a meeting of
Republicans, white and colored, for the
purpose' of forming a Union league, it
was discovered that they had no Bible on
which to . sweat'tliff memberS. 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

Gin has been started in his behalf, head

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.
