Let Every Democrat Remember that,..Xl rjr and Impress the Truth of it Upon the. or Minds of als Neighborall HARD PI7BIIED. We think the Montrose Republican is hard pushed for timber to raise an op position flame against General M'Cand less, when it attempts s slur upon his military career by clipping the following from a Radical exchange : The Carlisle Herald says in reference to the Democratic nominee for Auditor- General: " Col. M'Candless, who leads the ticket, when offered the position of a brigadier general, refused, on the ground that his self-respect would not allow him to countenance the measures of the Re publican administration by accepting promotion from it.; and, declaring that the post of honor was that of a private citizen, he withdrew from the field at a time when soldiers were sorely needed?' The time which General M'Candless withdrew from the service, was in May 186.1,aft(r the battle of the Wilderness in whiCk he was severely wounded in the arm, and he returned to his home in Philadelphia. Assuming him to have made the above statement it furnishes the strongest proof of his parity of char acter and devotion to true Democratic principles, not to desert them like the Grants and the Gearys, for position and power, and is still further proof of his fitness for the responsible position for which he is nominated. It shows con ch:silly that honesty is his policy. Such are the men needed at our State Capital. This shows the tactics of Radicalism .which has no other defence than to at tempt -to cast a slur upon the fair fame of a true soldier because he will not wor ship the Radical Baal. • "The Tide is Turning." It is amusing, and clearly shows the hollowness and hypocrisy of their defence, to see the Radical press flee to Jeff. Davis and Vallandingham for support in their sinking condition. Both of these men are living monuments of Radical clemency. It verily looks as though there had been an understanding between Horace Greeley, the Radical party, and Jeff. Davis, that in consideration of Cireley's going his bail, Jeff should now rally to the rescue, the Ku Kinx outrages and all other supports hiving Jefferson tlttviii ‘wsn" STROCidtatac senator, and as such com manded the respect not only of the Dem ocratic party, but also of his opponents, bat President Davis of the C. S. A. had no affilliation with the Democratic party. Ile stands to day as 4x-President Davis! the protege of Horace 'Greeley, and it seems a wonderful stretch of imagination to" count him among the leaders of Demo cracy. It is not unreasonable to suppose that this whole scheme of starting out Horace GreelY and Jeff. Davis, two sym pathizing friends, upon a Southern tour is but another deep laid plot of the domi nent party to save their waning fortunes. Past:experience shows-that for "ways that are dark and tricks that, are mean," the Radical party is not excelled. lipswnmipoldre Ifletory. he Legislature of New Hampshire mast iiiatarday last, in joint resolution tolfill rattancieft.'

Gradually this belief, has been mod ified, and, partly as a result of experiment and partly of closer scientific research, an opinion almost exactly opposite has gained gronnd.._, Where:o4llNß generally supposed., that:ta gunge wider than four feet eight-and a half inches would be found expedient, much nariow er dimensions have now been adopted, and it is even believed by some that a gauge of Ku than half that width will ultimate ly prove to be the most judicious and economical. It is not generally known that roads of extremely narrow gauge have been in use during the past few years, and: have thus supplied the practical data forjudging the utility of their general introduction. Among the Welsh mountains there is a line of railway, the gauge of which is but one foot, eleven and shalt inches. It runs from the slate quarries in the Festiniog Valley to Port Madoc, on Cardigan Bay. The rail used weigh bat ten pounds to the running foot, and the engines weigh seven tons. The passenger-4'gs are ten feet long, five feet wide, and Barry twelve pas sengers. The freight-cars carry three tons each. Trains over one thousand feet long are run on this little road at a speed of twenty miles an hour, although there are curves of radii under 135 feet, and grades of 70 feet to the mile. It is declared that the experiment has proved a success in every sense. In one year the freight has amounted to 138,132 tons, an overage of 9,388 tons to the mile; and the passen ger business—although the road is apt strictly a passenger line—to 8,807 passen gers per mile. The traffic is more than twice that of the Connecticut River Road —a closely managed interior line—and the passenger carriage more than,ihat of the busy Worcester and Nashua Railroad in 1870. In the Broilthal, joining the Cologne and Giessen road, there is another arrow gauge line, the prosperity of which is teaching a similar lesson. Its gauge is two feet seven inches, it has curves of 114 feet radius, and also 70 feet of rise to the mile. The weight of the rails average eight pounds to the foot: The engines weigh twelve and a half tons, and haul thirty six cars, each loaded with five tons. About 84,500 covers the cost of the loco motives, and 8500 that of the cant The cost of the line per mile, including roll ing stock, is set down at $B,OOO. There are lines of road in construction or in use in the mining districts of Pennsylvania of slightly narrower gauge than this—that is to say, of two feet six inches—On which engines of less than eight tons arc used, qzncly run twenty guletfiri hour, on grades and curves that 'l24:imb;:: ago would have been pronOnnized imprac , ticable. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, which is meant to run along the plateau of the Rocky Mountains from Denver to El Paso, a distance of 850. miles, is to have a gauge of two feet nine inches, and it is probable that other transverse roads, cutting the great Pacific lines that ran east and west, will also be constructed in a corresponding scale. The extent to which the narrow gauge has gained the good opinion of scientific men, is indicated by a 404. sweetly made by a committee, appointed by the British Secretary of State:ror rndia, to consider the feasibility of a narrow gauge for the extension of Indus Valley &Broad, and also for other projected Indian lines,. amounting in their aggregate to ten thous and miles. The majority of the Commit tee report, for the great bulk of the pro- posed lines, in favor of a gauge two feet nine inches. They recommend for this : uge a rail of thirty-six pounds to the yards, twelve ton engines, passenger-cars eighteen feet six. inches long by six Wide, limited to the carnage of threeand one half tons weight, while the merchandise cars should be made to carry five tons. The main arguments in favor of the nar row gauge are that the first cost, per mile, will not exceed one-half that of the wide gauge, and that running expenses And wear and tear must preserve between .the two gauges nearly the same relations. It is asserted that, just as a poney will pull more and eat less in proportion to his weight than a horse, so the snialler,,atid lighter engines of the ZULTTOW gunge will be relatively cheaper and more petits ble.

The young soldier resumed hie profession in Jefferson county, Ohio, and a-few . years later was appointed Attorney General for the State. This, we believe. is the only office he has held. He is one of the ablest lawyers in the West, and a powerful stump speaker; and with the exception perhaps of Mr. Pendleton is the most popular of the Democratic statesmen of Ohio. Decent 'Philadelphia Republicans in ItievolL The Philadelphia &cuing Telegraph is getting ivstive under the .reign of the Manna and Bnnns of Philadelphia and proclaims the very sensible doctrine, that it is far better for Republicans to vote for honest Democratic candidates for the city offices, than for Republican candidates who they well know will maladminister the affairs of the city to the great ininry of its citizens: "While the Democrats have held tbeir hounds in lashes and compelled the vile elements of their_party to remain in en faced retirement, ,the ,Reppblicans are from present indications, more likely to select the bulk of their ticket from a class of postively„frad, indifferent, or inferior aspirants than from the hosts of talented, honest, good and true men belonging to their organization. If these fears are re alized, the Registry law, and all the false counting that dishonest return judges can do, will not Ewe an ignominious Repub lican ticket from deserved defeat. Thous ands of the rank and file of the Republi can party, and of its most exemplary members, are rife for revolt. They are tired of voting for local candidates whose tainted reputations are the sore precursors of iniquities in office, and the doctrine is growing every day more popular that it is indefinitely better to vote for an honest, exemplary, faithful, and talented Demo crat for a local office, not involving parti san principles in the discharge of its du ties, than foritcorrtipt, disgraced, igno rant, or disreputable Republican.

The gnarau tee of the state of Alabama, whose credit is of the very , highest order, is readily given to strengthen the bonds of her projected railways. This is likewise true of many other southern states. Among them all the Selma and Gulf railroad stands pre-eminent. t tans from Selina to 'Pensacola, the fiiirmer a railway centre in the richest ag ricultural district in Alabama, and the latter the very best, and in fact the only harbor of any value on the gulf.

There is a strong and apparently set tled determination on the part of the ad vocates of the so-called cause of wmoan's rights to destroy with their own bands the system they profess to create and fos ter. A strong ease in point comes to us from San Francisco, where the champions of woman's right to the ballot are osten tatiously profuse of their sympathy for Laura D. Fair, a woman convicted of murdering, in cold blood, and with mal ice prepense, a citizen of that place, many years her senior and the father of a %mi. ly. The antecedents of this condemned murderess are of the worst possible de striptiim, she has done murder before, was notorious as an unprincipled adven turess, and was in every way a person to be shunned by all good women, and yet the self-appointed elevators of the sex are making a my rtar of this bold, bad woman. If females have an inherent right to shoot down, in cold blood, the husbands and I fathers of others, and if this is what the I California friends of the woman move ment are trying to establisb, then the sooner the "woman's rights" agitation coined to an end the -better for Christian civilization. Mrs. Fair's sympathizer are certainly doing their utmost to raise up hosts of enemies for the proposed reform. —Philadelphia Inquirer. THE BIGHT OF VirrrNESSES.—The su preme court of Massachusetts has recent ly decided that a law of the state which undertook to secure witnesses against cer tain prosecutions founded on their an swers in examinations before legislative committees was ineffectual to protect such witnesses from the liability to prosecution resulting indirectly from such admissions. Under these circumstances it was held that a witness could not be compelled to give an answer criminuting himself un less he was absolutely released from all liability to prosecution, either on his own testimony or the testimony of others. A witness who bad been committed by the legislature for refusing to answer was therefore discharged _by the court, all the judges holding that the legislature could not by any formal enactment compel a person to testify before oneof its commit tees without fully securing him from all liabifity to prosecution thereafter. —Democratic prospects hare frequently been blighted by too ample an exposition of the.principles of the party.

The question Of Suspending a pupil, has caused considerable discussion among teachers In this State, some insisting that the teacher has no right to suspend a pupil. Henry Houch, Esq., Deputy Superintendent of Common Schools, in answer to a letter from one of the teachers says : "A teacher has the right to suspend a pupil from school, but such suspension must be for cause, and is to be reported to the Board at once, with all the facts in the case." Dangers.of Unripe Fruit. Parents cannot be too careful about allowing their children to eat unripe fruit, which will soon be plenty, and which is so tempting to the little ones. And. it is particularly dangerous after eating green trash to drink heartily of water. Children are ail alike in this respect, and it behooves parents and these who have charge of them to exercise a great deal of firm ness and judgment in regard to what the chil dren eat during hot weather. Physicians say much siekness prevalent among children is caused by this lack of judgment or care on the part of parents and guardians. Fifteenth Amendment Celebration. The Fifteenth Amendment celebration came off on Thursday last, and the previously an ; nouneed programme was duly carried out. The procession marched through the principle streets with banners flying in the breezes, headed by the Binghamton colored Band, after which they repaired to the Fair Ground where speeches and music were in order. The whole proceed ings of the day were quiet and in very good ; oroer.

We certainly hope their faith is not getting lukewarm su soon. Sad Accident.

Suicide. .Tbe Binghamton Republican of the Ist inst., says: Yesterday afternoon a young lady by the name of Lucy Severson, aged about eigh teen or twenty years, residing on the 'old .

From what we can learn, about three o'clock she left her father's (John t3eversot) house, and said she was going into the woods to pick whit erg-,reens, which are known to abound in that vicinity, and it becoming advanced in the day, some alarm was felt by the family at her not re turning, and search was made for her, resulting in finding her dangling from a tree, dead From indications (t would seem that she had immediately went to this tree, and climbing the same attached a common rope to the limb, the other end to her neck, and with a single spring from her perch, launched herself into eternity !

It is not improbable that also, like the lords of creation, they become very penitent alter the season is gone and the yearly frolic is over, and that they make many good resolutions, join the temperance society, and keep sober till the next season conies around, and the berries arc ripe once more. As they are "mocking-birds," it is not out of the way to suppose that they are only insitatiniMen. A Remedy for Currant Warms. At a late horticultural exhibition tad in Rochester, N . Y., several gentlemen stated that the currant worm would not disturb intshes un der which coal ashes were liberally sprinkled. In confirmation of this a correspondent of the Erpreas of that city says: "To • prevent the current bushes, persons have only to mulch thoroughly all the ground under the bushes with anthracite coal ashes. This should be done late in the autumn or early in the spring of the year, before the ba-hes Icave out, as the worm that feeds on the leaves 'Mier its growth drops off' and goes into the earth immediately under the bushes. The grub, when it comes up to clmnge into a ily, cannot make its way through this course, sharp, .gritty ash heap, and perishes there.
