&fill: The causes are plain. The peo
ple.are oppoted to negro strffrage—eaffe
tially to having it forced on them. The
attempt to control elections by military
force is odious to a free people. Taxation
iii too high. The army is too large, and
costa too much in time of peace. Corrup
tion is the rule in all branches of the gov
ernment. The present banking and bond
system is a robbery and swindle upon the
people. The tariff, instead of being ad
justed for revenue to support a govern
ment economically administered, is sub
verted into a system of extortion, to'make
money out of the consuming classes—
which compose the great mass of the peo
ple—all to fill the pockets of wealthy
manufacturers and monopolista. The ab
surd, tyrannical and expensive system of
reconstruction of the South will not long
er be tolerated. The tax-payers are tired
paying for the education- of negroes, or
rather furnishing funds for the Freed
men's Bureau, to enable carpet , baggers
and scallawags to elect themselves to of

PeoPie.

prevails in adminstration circles is comi

We expect to hear a good account of
"Mort" in the Legislature of his adopted
State.—Republiean.
We are always glad to hear of the suc
cess of Susquehanna County boys who
try their fortunes in the West. Mort is a
good fellow, and barring his politics, we
certainly hope he may flourish.
Motolotion of the Radical
The Radical party, like many other
parties that have gone before it, has ful
tilled its mission and is hastening to its
grave. We-do not want anybody to be
lieve this on our saying so, but ask them
to receivethe testimony of its leaders.—
General
Butler, in a late conversation is I
reported to have said:
The Republican party, he said, is not
now united upon a single question of
public policy. Upon the tariff question -
it is split in two by the backbone of the
Alleghenies. Upon all financial issues I
the division is almost as marked. The
party bas no longer any coherent force, I
and recognizes no leadership. It gives
no rapport to the administration it has I
chosen, which was not able at the last
session of Congress to carry a sin"le, one
of the measures it proposed. The San
Domingo treaty failed in the Senate in
spite of all the infinence the President
could bring to bear. Creswell's one idea
of abolishing the franking privilege wrs
lost. The Secretary of the Navy did
not get the appropriations he asked to
carry on his department. The army
was reduced,. notwithstanding the pro
tests of the war department. The At
torney General's office was knocked in
to pi. Bontwell'a financial measures
were badly cut up. There was never
before an administration possessing so
little influence with a Congress of its own
P ge Republican party, has been kept
alive for the past two yeare.solely by the
unwillingness of the people to intrust
power to a party which sided with the
country's enemies during the war. These
war memories will not lust much longer,
however, and cannot be counted upon to
furnish political capital fur the Presiden
tial struggle two years hence. By that
time the Democrats will bare fully ac
cepted the results of the war. Recon
struction, stithage, and all demestic is
sues growing out of it will have been fal
ly settled and finally disposed of, and
will furnish no, possible foundation for
the Republican party to construct a plat
form upon.
Wendell Phillips, another able leader,
is not afraid to speak his crunch In a
speech he made the 3rd of November be
declared the Radical party to be already
dead. We quote the following paragraph
from Via Speech ;
"And . what is the Republican party
that it should complain ? It has done
its work. it came together for that pur
pose. is composed of men who believe
in freeltra,"and the temperance man ; it
is composed, of hint that
_is e, free trader,
and Tun that pins, his faith on a tariff;
is composed Of the Democrat in philoso
phy' and the conseriative in feehug—all
thrown together and cemented, their dif
ferences hidden by a common purpose.
The
. Reimblisans came together wide no "
iuquiry.as to ulterior purposes or side is
snea, Nair one thought. What isyour idea
on this question of liberty or race? Every
party law its cement and God seems to
give it thirty years to work out its pur
pose. The old Federalists and Jefferson
ian parties started - with two ideas--a
strong governtdent and a weak one.—
Theflasted till shard 1815 and then nat
urally died out and were planted like
seeds forriricateratrart. Now that hoar
has OPUte tO the Anti slavery. Ratio of
the itonrill.. thilt time to its iudnstrial
and to its old JeOeraonian periods—the
day when the party has nothing
.to do
but to die and be decently buried. The
Republican party is dead—and all it
needs is to be decently buried. It is ex
actly like a vegetable. - It must rot before
it produces anything. The elements that
make up the Republican party are ready
for hew work, but the party, as sui%; s has
lost its cement. It is falling to pieces. It
has nothing in the world to do but to rot;
that is the duty it owes to society, and the
sooner; philosophically speaking, it rots
1 out of the way contentedly, the sooner the
political life and health of the country is
served.
If the testimony of these two able and
shrewd leaders does not snirice to con
vince, we refer•the skeptical to the result
of the November elections.
A Sad Picture.
The following from the Post of Phila
delphia presents a very sad picture in
deed for the incoming Legislature of this
Slate. We must consider that a leading
Republican journal like the Post which
has been behind the scenes is a compe
tent biographer of the members of its par
ty, and prepare ourselves for any attempt
to foil the wilt of the masses, and from
past experience it is plain that there is
no means too basaor tyrannical which will
accomplish the desired end. Read for
yourselves:
"There are grand schemes on foot in
Harrisburg and Philadelphia. The po
litical outcasts are organizing for a win
ter campaign. We bare heard how, in
seasons of extreme severity, when the
streams are ice-bound and the ground is
covered with snow for months, the starv
ing bears, wolves, jackals and foxes bold
ly enter the streets of towns and brave
death to get a little food. Thus it hi with
these outcasts of th - e Republican party.
I Hunger has made them desperate, and
they will fight like wild beasts for the
spoils. Philadelphia is the camp of orga
nization, from whence a flying army of
brigands will march on Harrisburg as
soon as the Legislature meets. It will
contain a regiment of bullies, a brigade
of bummers, a battalion of buzzards, and
independent companies of spies, Ishamael

bebeaded criminals and party Pariabs of
every imaginable kind. Their standard
will be a hungry vulture, and as they
have no provisions, they expect to live on
the enemy."
Grunt and the Presidency.
President Grant is considerably at a
loss to know how to proceed in the fu
ture. He is now openly,a candidate for
re-election,andije.tdbesltot want to frit
ter away his chance by conferring fiwors
that are so decidedly against him as:Del
aware, Maryland, etc.
- Mr. Crisswell, wielding the Post-of
fice influence, has completely failed in his
promises to rule Maryland with the thou
sands of negroes added to the Republican
peaty, and the President cannot afford to
allow that powerful engine of corruption
to remain in impotent bands. Yet he
does not seem willing to remove Cress
well, who shows no disposition to resign.
He is convinced, too, that something
must be done in Pennsylvania, or the
Keystone State will permanently array
herself against him, and he cannot possi
bly succeed without the clear aad ukdivi
ded support of that State.
In view of this fact he has recently been
interviewing the Radical politicians of
Philadelphia, and it seems with no very
undecided Success. Cameron appears to
'have the rof the President, and this
fact but o*rs another stumbling block ;
gives often& to others who think they
have as good a right to share in Execu
tive smiles.
Then, again, what .does it mean ? No
less than five proment Pennsylvanians
have been offered Cabinet appointments,
and have declined. This is something
not dreamed of. Is there treachery in the
loyal came ? Is Mr. Grant to be sacrificed
iu the house of his friends ? Is there a
Daniel among them who has been to able
to interpret the black scroll upon the
waits of Radicalism ? And is it because
of this fact, and the insufferable smell of ,
horses,: "punts," segars and bad whisky,
that the loyal party is about to leave him,
and that makes these five prominent Re
publicans afraid to risk their popularity
in his keeping ?
Forney is said to be the dernier resort;
Cameron recommends him. Why ? Be
cause be knows that Forney- is not so
scrupulous, and is ready to deal the cards
; or hold the stakes in the one-sided game
of euchre the Radical •administration are
playing upon the people.
nighls of Producers.
Much feeling has been manifested of
late in opposition to the law which pre
vents a farmer from selling, his beef, pork,
mutton, &c, of his own raising by retail,
unless he is a licensed vender. Several
instances have occurred in this place
where the United States Assessor has
notified farmers that they must not dis
pose of their beef, except in the quarter,
or pork by the "whole hog," unless they
take out a United States Revenue License,
that official stating, that his instruction
from the Revenue Department compels
him to adopt this course. A more unjust
and inconsistent law was never engrafted
on the Statute book. A farmer can sell
his cereals by the pound, peck or bushel,
his butter by the ounce or pound, his
i eggs by the single one or dozen, but when
it comes to separating a beef, hog, or
sheep into steak, hams, or chops, &e., the
United States official intervenes and de
mands of him to show a license. For the
1 small quantity of produce of this kind
whichleach farmer sells of his own raising,
it will not pay to get out a license, yet
without the latter, our markets may be
said to be closed against him. It is not
surprising such unjust laws create intense
feeling. .11 - is one of the fruits of Radi
cal rule and. legislation. Yet Ire know of
farmers who, while grumbling at the law

Value of Accuracy.
It is the result of every day's exper
lance that steady attention to matters of
detail lies at the root of human progress,
and that diligence, above all, is the moth
er of good luck. Accuracy, also, is of
much importance, and an invariable
mark of good training in man—accuracy
in observations, ateumay in speech, accu
racy in the translation of affairs. What
is done in business must be well done,
for it is better to accomplish perfectly a
small amount of work than to half do
ten times as much. Yet, in business af
fairs, it is the manner in which even
small matters me transacted that often
decides men for or against you. With
virtue, capacity , and goOd conduct in oth
er respects, the person whole habitually
inaccurate cannot be tivistad ; his work
bus to be gone over again, and he thus
causes endless annoyance, vexation and
trouble. '
Too Sensitive.
An exchange draw's the following picture
which will be-appreciited by all editorsi
"It is strange how sensitive' some men
are. They will get 4 lnipk, rave about the
street, welling Illsriavitos, go home' and
beat their wives, turn their children out
of doors, being so proud of their achieve
men tit as to make their n eighbors Conscious
of the feet a fine before a magistrate,
and having made themselves as notorious
as possible, will slide around to the editor
and beg him, with tears in their eyes, not
to bring disgrace to their families by
mentioning that little affair in the paper."
It is a great pity that; such , sensitiveness
should be so tail making making its ap
pearance. It -alwafi comes too late.

first of January next to 2,277 officers, and
by the firstof the July following to 30,000
men—total, 32,277. According to the
present figures, there is ane.officer Wier
ery fourteen men, and on the reduced es
tablishment will be one to every thirteen
—rather a disproportionate array of
shoulder-straps, but then pets must be
provided for—and as it has grown into a
practice since the armyhas been degraded
'into a constabulary to send small parties
of a dozen or twenty men about the coun
try under a commissioned officer to puri
fy elections. administer laws, and regulate'
States, there is a second reason why every
fifteenth man in the army should wear
a pair of epaulettes. For some reason
Geueral Sherman does not find it necessa
”y to refer to this excess of officers, but
the use of the army us police elicits from
him as strong a protest as official deco
rum permits. Referring to this use,
'which has become so common of late,"
he gives it 418 his opinion that. the milita
ry should only be employed as a pnto.e
contilalus, duly summoned by the United
States Marshal, and acting in his person
al presence. This is not only a reaffirma
tion of the old and correct doctrine, but a
severe rebuke to the President for his
persistent degradation of the army into
an instrument of popttlar surveillance
and menace. It will not read well abroad
that the General of the United States ar
my protests against the prostitution of
his soldiers into mourltardo and "peelers,"
and yet this is the extremity to which
General Sherman is forced and the shame
to which we are exposed.— World.

Living Beyond their Means.
Balwer says that Ppverty is only in an
idea aloe cases out of ten. Some men
with $lO,OOO a year suffer more for want
of means than others with 8300. The
reason is, the richer man has artificial
wants. His income is $lO,OOO a year, and
he suffers enough from being dunned for
unpaid debts to kill a sensitive man.
'The man who earns a dollar a day and
does not go in debt, is the happiest of the
two. 'very few people who have never
been rich will believe this; but it is true.
There are thousands and thousands with
princely incomes who never knOw a mo
ment's peace, because they live above
their meats. There is really more hap
piness in the world among the working
men than those who are called rich.
Keep him Cool.
When an Arab woman intends marry
ing again after the death of her husband,
she goes the night before the ceremony to
pay a visit to his grave. There she kneels
and prays him not to be offended—not to
be jealous. As, however, she feels he will
be offended or jealous, the widow brings
with her a donkey laden with two . goat
skins filled with water. The prayer end
ed, she proceeds to pour the water upon
the grave to keep the first husband cool
under the irritating circumstances about
to take place and •having well saturated
him, she then departs.
