°SEELY ON CARPET BAGGERS.
Our cotempomry of the Montrose Re- '
publican expended nearly two columns
last week in quotations from Jeff. Davis,
Horace Greeley and other Radical lights.
in an attempt to provelhat the editor of
the Binghamton Republican bad got his
head turned by his late trip on the editor
ial excursion to the South, and charges
him with. foul heresy to the Radical doc
trine of Bu-Kluxism, in a late editorial
in which he presents the facts which Dem
ocratic Journals have been presenting ever
since sue close of the war, which is that
the South only ask an impartial and con
stitutional administration of the govern
ment, and an equal and fair representa
tion. When they surrendered at Rich
mond they . accepted the results of the
war. 11. seems to be perfectly fatal to the
Radical bubbles of "Southern treason" for
editors to go among the Southern people.
It perforates them so completely that it
lets all the wind out of them. Here is
another; and more serious task for the
Republican to do to set Horace Greeley
back on "this line," and we think if it
attends to all the backsliders it will cer
tainly 'take all summer." A "little
knowledge" in the heads of these Radical
editors seems to be "dangerous." The
following seems to be what Greeley knows
about carpet baggers. Showing that all
he has said heretofore which has been so
extensively quoted by the Montrose Re
publican, and fenatics of the same ilk,
was what he didn't know. It is an ex
tract from a speech made by Mr. Greeley
at a reception tendered him in New York
on his return from his Texas tour:
"Well, gentlemen, the thieving carpet
baggers are a mournful fact; they do ex
ist there, and I have seen them. [Laugh
ter.] They are fellows who crawled down
South in the track of our armies, gener
ally a very safe distance in the rear ; some
of them on sutlers' wagons, some bearing
cotton permits ; some of them looking
sharply to see what may turn up; and
they remain there. They at once ingra
tiated themselves with the blacks, simple,
credulous, ignorant men, very', glad to
welcome and to follow any whites who
professed to be the champions of their
.rs,ot 'Cr represen atives, some s
some judges and so on. And there they
stand, right in the public eye, stealing and
plundering, many of them with both
arms around negroes, and their bands in
their pockets, seeing if they cannot pick
a paltry dollar out of them, and the pub
lic looks at them, does not regard them
honest northern men, but calls every "car
pet-bagger" a thief, which is not the
truth by a good deal. But these fellows
—many of them long-faced, and with
eyes rolled up, are greatly concerned for
the redaction of the blacks,and for thesal
vation of their souls. ' (Great Laughter.)
"Let us pray," they say. But they spell
pray with an "e," and, this spelled. they
obey the apostolie injunction to "pray
without ceasing."
Fellow citizens, the time has been and j
still is, when it was perilous to be known
as a republican or an abolitionist in the
South, but it never called the blush of '
shame to any man's cheek to be so culled,
until these thieving carpet-baggers went
there—never! [Applause.] They got in
to the legislature; they went to issuing
State bonds; they pretended to use them
in aid of railroads and other improve
ments. But the improvements were not
made, and the bonds stuck in the issu
ers' pockets. [Laughter.] That is the
pity of it.
"Well," some say, "you have just such
thieves at the north. Yes, we do—too
many of them ! [Applause.] But the
South was already impoverished—was
bankrupt—nithout money, without thrift,
almost without food, and these follows
went there robbing and swindling when
there was very little to steal, and taking
the last ten cent shinplaster off of the
dead men's eye& They were recognized
by the late aristocracy not merely as
thieves but as enemies. Says Byron 's
Greek minstrel,
4 A. tyrant—but our masters then
Were still at least our countrymen."
Thus we record the men who annually
rob us at Albany, at Trenton and at Har
risburg. They do not carry their plunder
out of the State when they get any.
These fellows do! The South was not
'merely beaten in the late contest, she was
profoundly astonished by the remits. Her
people have , not fairly got over their
amazement at. their defeat, and what they
see of us are these thieves, who represent
the north their jaundiced vision, and rep
resenting it, they disgrace it They are
the greatest obstacles to the triumph and
permanent ascendent; ill' republican
principles at the south, and its such I de.
pounce them. {Applause.]
"Well, then, do youjustify the Hu.
Klux r lum aaked. justify thehi in
what? If they should choose to hatch
a hundred or two 01 these thieves; place
them tenderly across rails, and bettr -them
quietly and peacefully across the Ohio; I
should efconrse condemn the act, ss I
condemn all violence; but the tears live
in a very MO onion that would water

lie will not believe what• the great
doctors of his "school" say, such as Gree

weight upon them, but being carried to a
distant wood and told that-he must make
his own way home and left to his own
resources, bed time found him in his own
home happier for the knowledge he had
outained.
Now we would suggest that the readers
of the Republican should take the editor
and set him down in Texas, right among
the genuine Ku Klux and leave him and
we think he will come home rejoicing on
a good sound pair of legs, and will believe
the statements of his Radical cotempora
rie. We, take this view of his case upon
the ground that he is a poor political
dispeptic, suffering from indigestion
brought on by mental inactivity and
sectional ignorance. But on the other
hand if he is attempting to bolster up
the waning fortunes of his party by such
gross misrepresentations, in the light of
knowledge, then we say emphatically we
have found a subject worthy of the name
iof nigger, in the fullest application of
the term, fur he who nigs, by misrepresent
ing his countrymen for party aggrandize

he who cheats a single individual.
It behooves the people of this nation
to beware of all such niggers whether

"The aggregate of the appropiation
made by this bill (the appropriation bill)
is about half a million in excess of what,
in my opinion, it ought to be, under the
present condition of the treasury, but in
view of the late hour last night at which

I to be considered as committed tb all its

There could be no better argument us
ed by the Democracyduring the coming
campaign for the election of State officers
than this concluding extract. It exhibits
too plainly an extravagance and waste of
the public money which if longer con
tinued, must end. in bankruptcy and re
pudiation. The expenditure of half a
million, each year, more than is necessary
fur the administration of government, is
an announcement which should arrest
the attention of every tax payer, and lead
him to inquire if there was not some
j remedy for this prodigality, some stimul
-1 ant for the weakness and imbecility in
executive functions, which are enable to
check the excessive outlay. An imbecility
and want of spirit, which stumbles in the
plain path of duty, and, conjuring up
imaginary greater evils, dodges any re-
sponsibility by accepting what is face
tiously termed "the least of two evils."
We have a decided curiosity to know thut
which his Excellency has left in the
twilight of doubt, namely, this "greater
evil," of which the useless and excessive
waste of half a 'million is the least. So
wild and reckless has been the indiscrim
inate appropriation of money during the
admistration of Geary, with a Radical
Legislature at his command, that a half
a million is a small matter, and the least
of the good Governor's little evils.
As a remedy for this difficulty, and as
a check upon this useless expenditure and
waste, we suggest to every tax payer,
whose hard earned dollars must needs go
to supply these demands, to go to the
polls at the nest election and deposit his
vote for Ge'neml William McCandless, the
nominee of the State Democratic Con
vention at Harrisburg. His initiation in
to. the duties of the office of Auditor
General will be the commencement of a
new era in Pennsylvania finances, and
will be a guarantee that their will 'be no
further appropriation or expenditure of
half a million dolLaris in excess of what it
ought to be,the result of corrupt legislative
appropriation and defective executive
ability.

the charge that the South will follow the

The South is readflind willing to join

Jeff. Davis to counsel our people to bolt
and refuse to support the nominees of the
Democratic National Convention, and
thus indirectly assist in effecting the
Radical candidate to the Presidency, there
would not be one white man in a hundred
who would take his advice. We repeat
here what we said a month or two ago,
that all the delegates from the South to
the National Convention who would re

like the "old oaken bucker its history is
a matter of sufficient interest fur preser

.first proposed by
Robert Morris, the great financier of the
revolution, and was named by Jefferson
two hours after it began to make its ap
pearance from the aunt in 1792. It bore
the head of Washington on one side and
thirteen links on the other. The French
revolution soon firmted a rage for French
ideas in America, which put, on the cent,

PAT OF SownEtts.—After the 30th of
June, soldiers' pay, on account of the ex
piration of an act of Congress, will re
vert back to the original standard of
$13.00 per month for cavalry, artillery
and infantry. This reduction it is esti
mated will decrease the disbursements of
the Pay Department fully $lOO,OOO an
nually. Soldiers will not relish the idea
of having their pay cut down, and it may
temporarily retard enlistments.

miles to avoid extra expense in bridging, which

A !Mysterious Box.
Yt.terday morning, while we sat in our sanc
tum, busily conversing with a friend: a very
pleasant looking person slipped into the mom
and deposited a large long box upon our table,
securely tied up with a strong cord, and imme
diately left without saying one word. We eyed
the box for a time with a little suspicion, and
while our mind reverted to infernal machines
and the like, keeping at a proper distance, we
carefully poked it around and saw this promi
nent label upon one end: "Solid Cast Steel
Adze Eye Nail Hammers :" Knowing that we
had not ordered any such articles, and suppos
ing that it was a ruse of some New York "drum
mer," to impose his goods upon us, we grabbed
the quill to give him a gratuitous advertisement,
when fortunately our eye caught sight of the
following inscription, written upon the cover :
^E. B. Hawley, from C. C. Mills," and the pen
dropped'at once from our grasp, as the mime of
our highly esteemed friend, Mr. Mills, was a
sufficient guaranty to inspire us with the fullest
confidence,, and we seized it, knowing from the
character of the man whose name it bore that
some generous act was about to ho disclosed to
us. We opened it and found, not "nail ham
mers,"' but was ftlled"With the 'most luscious
strawberries than it 'has been our privilege,: to
behold this season. They were from 31111 s .„
garden, at
. Dimock Corners. Our thanks will
but poorly pay friend Mills, but the best of
those he has.
Fire in Binghamton
About 8 1-2 o'clock Monday morning, a - fire
broke out in the basement of John D. Fosters'
Fruit store, in LaFayette Block, housed by an
error of two young men who were making al
terations in the main gas pipe in the building.
The alarm was immediately sounded, but before
the fire companies arrived two streams were
playing into the basement from out of, the
Arbor Hotel and Thomas' grocery, and the fire
was soon extinguished. While ono of the hose

I nto Situation hceeptCd.
Mn. Eorron:—l should not hate thought the
article by your correspondent worthy of notice,
concerning the action of the,medical meeting
held at Brooklyn, a fel days since, but for the
lutpertectonatement In my case. It was an- •
dObtedly:written to blind the public. The Ur
00 author is perfectly understood in his de
signing rim to deteiti, and his effort to rob a
physician of his professional popularity. The
merits 'of a practitioner, I believe, with his
patrons are more lasting than words. I wish
the whole tonth presented to my friends.. As to
my Jealous enemies , I do not regard them with
fear ? . havictlong since lost all such respect. kW
their calumny,. „ ..
It might bci Infe4ried . &urn the 'article that I
had done something unprofessional In edvertis-.
ing a secret nostrum—which I emphatically de
ny. All I did was to advertise a remedy under,
the name of AA-Bilious Pills, good for deranged
stomach and liver. , This is the only remedy
that I have before the pubheer ever had .1*,, ,
thed. Tho remedy is not snAlcd, but the of
fence to a few of the_ dignified brethren is--he
advertised. Advertising has becoino an Ameri
can institution of no mean proportions. We
have reason to be thankful for advertising, for
humanity has been benefitted thereby, and if I
have alleviated the suffering of any, I am antis.
fied. •
It would appear from their proceedings that
some of the number became very patriotic In
the discussion of medical discipline. , A. good
thing discipline is, in the books, but lAter in
the heart and head. And as the Gordian knot
of medical discipline has been severed, I fin
free—and he that is free is free indeed. It may
possibly he necessary to allnde to this subject at
another tune, as the situation is cheerfully ac
cepted, and I trust it will be maintained.
For the advertising that ono or two of may
friends have done for me I suppose they charge
nothing, and should they ever be so unfortunate
as to get bilious again, I will donate a box of
medicine, which they can find at the nearest
drug store, advertised, V Anti-Bilious" Pills.

Lien Law Decision
According to a late decision of the Suprettie
Court of Pennsylvania, a person fnrnishingtmp•
plies for a new building cannot secute Liftmen'
or obtain a lien on the building lITIiCSS he thlek .
.has a distinct understanding with the builder'
and owner of the premises. Otherwise lie can
not collect one cent for whatever he may furnish

al turn and mechanics to make a note of the
above and govern themselves accordingly.
Sad Accident
A fatal accident occurred at East Herrick.
(Pike twp.) Saturday June 10, says the Bradford
Reporter, resulting in the instant death of Mrs-
Henry Sherman. Mrs. Sherman was riding
with Mrs. Shepherd Fairchild, when the harms
became unmanageable, turning the wagon over,
killing Mrs. Sherman instantly, and injuring a
little girl. As near as we can learn, Mrs. Fair
child was not seriously injured. Mrs. Sherman
was about fifty years of age. This is the second
accident of tire kind that hasoccurred in very
nearly the same place vrittiht the last two years.

Mr. Livingston claims it, and has retained If._
