Rndteal Ingratitude.
The Democratic party, because it re
fuses to acknowledge Jefferson Davis as a
legider, is accused of base - ingatitude by
the Republican newspapers. We are un
able to see in what we should be grateful
to him for. If any party owes him any
thing it is the Republican. In helping
to drive the South into secession he did
justorhat the Northern radicals wanted,
for it gave them control of the govern
ment and the treasury with which they
have since used to enrich themselves and
prolong their power. For this Grant
has shown his gratitude to the rebels when
be appointed Longstreet to a lucrative of
fice in New Orleans, and Akerman to his
cabinet as legal adviser. In galvanizing
Mr. Davis and setting him up as a Demo
cnstie target to shoot at, they will .find
him an elephant on their hands, as much
so as when a state prisoner at Fortress
Monroe until Greeley came to the relief
and bailed him out. There was but one
Democrat in the North who ever recog
nized him as a leader, and that man was
General Benjamin F. Butler, whose single
vote was cast for him fifty-two times in
the Charleston Convention. When be
went over to the Radicals there was noth
ing lift of the Jefferson Davis Democra

More Evidence.
The Daily State Journal, the organ of
the Republican party in Alabama, in its
issue of June 23d, says: "We have lived
in this. State for more than a quarter of a
centers, and have never felt insecure in
person or property on account of politi
opinions. We are sincere in our Rep*.
eanism, aid we feel safe because we ,fove
Our people and honestly believe that we
are pursuing a course that will redound
to their peace, happiness, and prosperity.
Those men who call themselves Republi
cans and who arc continually, trying to
get into office, stirring up disorder and
strife, and poisoning the minds of voters
in secret dens at midnight, where honest
men and sincere Republicans are 'plotted
against simply because they arc honest
and sincere, and have koeial standing in
the community, may feel unsafe. We
indorse no such libels upon the whole
people of our State. Radical vultures,
Ku-Klux office-seekers of every party,
are doing us more harm as a people than
all the libels ever written. We believe
that every honest man is safe in Alabama,
no matter what his politics are."

is important, from the fact that the Dem

Captain Cooper.
We lake the following interesting
sketch of Captain James H. Cooper, the
Democratic candidate for Surveyor Gen-
end, from the New Castle Gazette and
Democrat, one of the ; best and ablest
journals in the State edited' by W. S.
Black, Esq. It is one of the fullest and
most complete that has yet appeared. The
Captain has a high reputation in army
circles and is one of the most devoted and
conscientious Democrats in in the country.
The Gazette and Democrat 'says:.
'Captain James Ifarrey Cooper •bras
born in Ross township, Allegheny county,
Pa., March Gth IS4O. He lost his parents
when quite young, and removed to Law
rence county in 1853. He attended the
common schools until he received as good
an education as could be obtained by .such
means. He then engaged in mercantile
pursuits with his brother in Mount Jtick
son. At the breaking ont of the rebellion,
he unhesitatingly made up his mind to
enlist, hit love of conntry overcoming the
persuasions of his friends and his pros
pects in business. Ile was elected order
ly sergeant of the Mount anckson Guards,
which afterwards became known as Bat-
tery 8., of the first Pendsylvania Artillery,
hut more fregnently taking his own
name—Cooper's Battery. To write of
what he (lid during his term of enlistment,
would only be to re-write the history of
that gallant organization of men. He
was au active participant in the battles of
Drairsville, Mechanicsville, Gains' Mill,
New Market X Roads, Malvern Hills,
Gainesville; Second Bull Run, Chantilly,
South Mountain, Antietam, Federicks
burg first, and Fredericksburg second,
Chancellorsville. Gettysburg, Mine Run,
Rapidan River, Wilderness, Laurel Hill,
Spottsylvania Court House, North Anna
River. and in front of Petersburg from
the middle of June, 1864, until the Bth of
August, when after having served for over
three months more than the time for
which he enlisted, he was honorably die-
charged. Before leaving, all the' officers
of the regiment serving with the army of
the Potomac, signed a petition to the
Governor for his appointment as Colonel
of the regiment. It received very strong
endorsements from General Wainwright
Commander of the Artillery Brigade,
Gen. Hunt, Chief of Artillery of the Po
tomac, and Gen. Mead. This petition he
never presented. Gov. Curtin afterwards i
in conversation with a mutual friend, re- i
gretted that Captain Cooper had not pre
tented it, as he said it would have been a
pleasure to him to promote so gallant an
officer. The Governor commissioned him

Make the true gentle Man, than was Cap
tain Cooper. His reputation as a soldier
was without a blot. He was the special
favorite of that other , gallant soldier, Gen.
John F. Reynolds. Words can scarcely
convey to the reader the high estimation
in which he was held by all those with
whom be came in contact At the first
battle of Fredricksburg, When Battery B.
stood immovable—the only opposition on
the left of the line to the senemy't march
ing to the river in the rear of our army—
Gen. Reynolds said 'Captain Cooper is one
of the bravest and coolest of men under
lire I ever saw.' His name is known all
over the State. As to integrity of char
acter, he is known sufficiently well to our I
readers generally, to make it unnecessary
for us to say more than that his straight i
forward, open, frank alzposition Is only
equalled by his modesty and unassuming
yet easy manners. His kindly beaming
eye is the index to a noble, benevolent
heart, and the casual acquaintance is won
to fast friendship. His business qualifi
cations are of high order, and the office
of Surveyor-General could be placed in
no better hands. Ile is also a self-made I
man, and a representative of the laboring
men of the country, having for the past
four years worked day after day in a saw
mill, where, with coat off, he has labored
to regain his business fortunes, unfortu
natly but completely sacrificed while bat
tling for his country. In this too be
shows the true spirit of the gentleman,
adverse circumstances being powerless and
in vain to discourage and defeat him in
business life.
For all these and many other reasons,
hundreds of voters throughout the State.
without respect to party, will cast their
ballots for Captain Cooper. The Democ
racy, in placing our favorite on the ticket,
expect a good report of Lawrence county
at the next election, and we are assured
she will do her duty. Let us all go to
work now, and. take a native pride in one
who so nobly sustained the reputation of
our country in the 'time that tried men's
souls.'
General McCandless, the candidate for
Auditor- General, is a favorite in Phila
delphia and the eastern part of the State,

A Waterton* Sinking of the Bed of
the !Morris Canal.
The citizens of Broadway, Warren co.,
N..T., l and the residents of the neighbor
ingtownshipi have lgi en greatly excited
over curious phalli - Merton. On Monday
June 19th about 10 o'clock, as a canal
boat from Phillipsburg was passing over
the 7 mile level, between New Village and
Broadway, the driver of the boat heard
an unusual rumbling noise, like that of
muffled thunder, and looking ahead he
saw in canal, about a hundred yards be
yond, the water seething and boiling like
a whirlpooL Though stricken with fear,
he crossed in safety the dangerous eddy,
but had not gone many yards when he
was startled by another noise, and turn
ing, discoiered that the bottom of the
canal had given way, and in a short time
his boat was on' dry land. The water in
the canal for the distance of a mile and a
half had iu a wonderful short time disap
peared in a cavity, of which the dimensions
of the opening were 40 feet across.
Careful iuvestigalions were made of the
neighboring streams and surrounding
country, but no outlet for the water was
discovered. , Above.the canal in a wood,
three apertures were; made, averaging 20
by 25 feet in diameter. In these holes or
cavities rocks and trees were swallowed
u The tops of the trees were just vial
. ,
Fissures were made on the surface be
low the canal to the extent of hundreds
of yards. .Large openings also `appeared
in a corn field, below the canal.
The canal company have been trying
to repair the break by throwing in corn
stalks and tree. : tops. ;More than one
hundred. Inindlesi of stalks seri , throtirt ip

loss is calculated at 1 310 000 " -

The Income Tar.
The - Attorney for the Anti-Income Tax
Association, of New York, has applied to
Judge Gilbeit, of the Supreme Court at
Brooklyn, for an injunction to retrain
James Freeland, Collector of Internal
Revenue for the First District, inelnding
Kings, Queens, Suffolk and Richmond
counties, from collecting the income tax.
The Judge ordered the Collector to show
cause why a permanent injuction should
not be granted. A similar injunction
' will soon be applied for before one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court in New
York county, and in other partsof the
country. It is now demonstrated that
the cost of assessing and collecting this
tax will be about equal to the receipts;
that the Government receives but a trifle
for its share, and that the whole use of
the unjust and unpopular law is to make
places for a lot of office-holders, to be
used to renominate General Grant. Be
sides these nets, exeollectors now owe the
Governmeht nearly three millione of dol
larti of unpaid Revenue taxes, the IvFger
part of which will remain in the private
purses of the delinquent officers. It is
claimed that a considemtle portion of
this money will he ricovereit But this is
not likely. General Grant will not, allow
his friends to be pressed, and the major
part'of the law amount abstracted from
the people, will enrieli dishonest men.

Lately, the Hon. Alexander H. Stevens
of Georgia, took. charge of the political
department of the Atlanta Daily Syn--
which paper contains his, salutoty, as fol
lows
Since the "Announcement'-' of Mr.
Speights on the 15th instant, it is proper
for me to state to the patrons of the Sun
that, in consenting, as one of the propri
etors. to take charge of the political de
partment of this paper, my object is to
make it a true organ of the Jeffersonian
principles of the Federal government,
under which the people of the United
States lived in so great peace, prosperity
and happiness for more than half a un
tug. The ohject will be to advocate such
doctrines as will secure a perpetual and
harmonious union of the States under
the Constitution, in the spirit and fur the
purposes.for which it was originally an
nounced by Jefferson, maintained by
Madison; and.set forth by - General Jack
son in his "authorized" explanation of the
principles of 'his proclamation on the
unlification movement in South Carolina
in 1832, and in his farewell address. Upon
these.principle.s and those announced by
General Washington, he was "first in wur,
first in peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen," the Sun will stand. Its
position will be, that the government of
the United States is a "Concederated" or
"Federal Republic," formed by the States,
possessing in itself no inherent sovereign
ty, but that all its sovereign powers—
which are specific and limited—am held
entirely by. delegation from the several
States, and that the States are absolutely
sovereign in the exercise of all reserved
or undelegated powers. The Sun, under
my general control of its political course,
will continue to stand upon the principles
of the platform of the Demommic party
of the Union, as announced in their last
General Convention at New York, in
/868. A chief object will be to show by
calm and argumentative appeals to the
good sense el the true friends of the Con
stitution, North as well us South, that
any departure from the essential princi
plea of that platform will be exc , :edingly
dangerous, if not fatal, to the liberties of
the whole country. The great "living is
sue" now before the people of the United
States is between consolidation, centra
lism, and empire on the one side, and the
sacred, sovereign right of local self-gov
ernment by the people of the several
States on the other. Or, in other words,
the great question now is, whether the
people of the States are to live under a
government of bayonets. This is the
great practical, absorbing "living issue"
at this time. With regard to the past
usurpations and revolutionary measures
of Cor,gr, es since the restoration of the
Union in 1865, by the resumption of their
obligations to the Union ender the Con
stitution. by all the States which had at
tempted to withdraw from it, and for
which alone the war was professed to be
vinged in opposition to this attempt, the
Sun will advocate and enjoin strict. obe-
thence to all acts of Congress and acts of
State Legislatures under them which
have the form of law as expounded by
the coin ts, State an,tl Federal, and imposed I
by those in authority clothed with power
to execnte than Constitutional liberty
is the offspring of reason—not of physi
cal torce. The reetiticat ion of all politi
elt wrongs mot usurpations Unity . /
systems of government should be sought
through the instrumentalities of the Con
stitution—through the peaceful operation
of the ballot—the Legislative, Judicial
and Executive Departments of the gov
ernment. But no people devoted to Con
stitutional law need ever expect to secure
a ratification of admitted usurpation of
power by granting in advance a general ab
solution to the perpetrators of them. The
position of the Sun towards all usurpa
tions by Congress will be the same as
that of Mr. Jefferson towards thb "Alien
and Sedition" acts. This is quite enough
for the present. It is proper, however, to
add for general information that it is not
my intention to change my present resi
dence. There is no vrospect of my ever
being able physically to do so even if I
were inclined. All communications, there
fore, to me connected with my engage
ment with the Son must be addressed to
me at this place.
ALEXANDER H. STITEPRENS,
Liberty Hall, Crawfordville, Ga., June
16, 1871.
From the Utica Observer, 19th.
A Noon-Day Dank Itobbery.
The inhabitants of Fulton county have
been in a high state of excitement since
Saturday noon, cased by the robbery of
the Gloversville Bank, at Gloversville, in
the early part of Saturday afternoon, and
the killing of Marcus Dye, in the same vil
lage, at 1 o'clock yesterday morning. The
following are all the particulars of the rob
bery which we are allowed to make public
at present :
Between one and two o'clock on Satur
day afternoon a man came into the Glov
ersville Bank and inquired ow large a
Government stamp it was necessary to
affix to a mortgage for $lOOO. The teller
replied, "A 81 stamp!' The man thank
ed him and stepped back from the
counter to a small desk to make *way
for other parties who entered at' that
time.
After these parties had been waited on, 4
the man approached the teller's desk and
said he observed that the bank advertised
"Northern Pacific Railroad bonds for sale,"
and enga g ed the teller in conversation
about railroad securities, making a special
inquiry in regard to the value of the Fonda,
Johnstown and Gloverstown Railroad
bonds as an investment. The teller gave
him all the information in his power.
After further conversation on various
subjects the stranger thanked the teller
for the information received, and left the
bank. While the teller was thus engaged,
a second party, who was, without :doubt,
the "pal" of the inquisitive stranger, ob
tained access to the vault of the bank,
and succeeded in abstracting from it
available funds to the amount of $15,000,
and about $lO,OOO Worth of North Caro
lina coupon and other bonds.
The robbery was not discovered until
two or three hours after Rhea been com
mitted, when the alarm was iminediately
giy.ep, „An effort [Ma to notify_the
poEce at Forigu, but the, ,robbers. were
sharp enough cross the telegraph Wires,
cutting the GlOfersvillo office out of the
circuit. When the officers reached Fonda,
they found that two men, one'answering

should pay half the costs, and the Society
the other Marl It-wits pertainly a singular
verdict, which thus divided the penalty;
for if the defendant deserved to be mulct
ed to the extent of one-half the costs, it
is difficult to see how the Soeiety .conld
merit an equal penalty for bringing him
to justice. Leaving the special case, we
will add a word on the general subject.
We do not know any form of cruelty that
more deserves repression and punishment
than the fusions - belaboring 7 , 0 f horses.
When psrpetrated in the public streets,
it is, moreover, a disgusting and offensive
spectacle to the feeling of all persons
prossessed of sense and humanity, and
we think the general sentiment of the
community is reaching a point when this
too common brutality will no longer •lie
tolerated. There was a time, when beating
was a common form of public and domes
tic punishment. Then it was genetally
given up as to adults, except that it vas
thought a punishment peculiarly fitted to
the feelings of soldiers. It was after
discussion, abandoned in the army, 'but
lingered in the navy. We can remember
that it teas abolished about twenty years
ago, in the American naval service, though
some contended, strenuously,•that "flogg
ing" was indispensible to make good sail
ors. • In schools it is now going out of
fashion, as well us in the domestic circle.
We do not know any moralistof note who
contends, for the flogging of children, et
cept henry Ward Beecher. There',
are now no more slaved in the land, so
that class no longer affords an exception
to the law, which protects all men from
arbitrary punishment, without the special
sanctiou of a legal tribunal. It may, in
some States, still inflict stripes, and, cer
tainly. we think it much better that they
should be inflicted by the judgment of an
impartial Court, and the (sand of a pass
ionate public officer, than by an angry or
aggrieved party, who constiintesl himself
both judge and executioner. But the nor
ble animal, the horse, has long been left
at the mercy of every brutal and ignor
ant driver. It is common to see a rnlliian
showering blows with a club, upon some
straining animal, to force him to still
greater etfortA to drag a too heavy load up
the inclined plane of some cellar, or other
excavation. The builder • much more de
serves punishment for not providing .an
extra horse to assist, at this stage of the
work. We are not, now, objecting to the
use of the whip or spur to stimulate .a
sluggish horse. Nobody objects' to it.
nobody notices it. It is the savage,
furious belaboring of animals that
attracts public notice, and Ought to
incur public repobation. Every horse
man knows ';it is ns unnecessary and
useless as it is brutal. The horse is a
wilting worker, and readily puts forth his
streugth at the call of the voice, ore light
touch or blow from a whip lash. 'The
rutli..ns who furiously beat animals, often
over the head. with clubs or the butt end
of a loaded cart whip, are as stupid as they
are brutal ; they, iu fact, impede the ef
fort., they arc trying to stimulate, if that
is their object. But commonly, they are
only vt uting their own anger or impa
tience upon a helpless object. When the
driver has himself to make an effort of
strength in lifting anything into his cart,
he would not thank any elle for the assis
tance which takes the limn of a shower
of kicks and blows. We hope that the
Society will not be deterred from prosecu
ting for this form of cruelty to animals.
It is an outrage upon public decency and
the feelings of all who are forced to wit.

against the helpless and unoffending
horse.

MsiGmetle Spring'
For two years past, jays the Owego Gauge,
the people of Slaterville, Tompkins County,
have been putting down the common, or driven
tube, for obtaining Water. In some instaittes
flowing streams of water have resulted withdat
the aid of pumps. This Spring, in driving anew
well, a stream of pure magnetic water was
struck equal in strength and magnetic properties
to the Limnos magnetic well of Michigan. -The
vein of waterseems to be exhaustless, and Un
derlying a large subterranean surface. The dis
covery has already attracted a large number of
invalids and hot and cold batbsere in operation.
A large hotel will be immediately erected on Mt
spot. Slaterville is eight miles north of Rich

nine miles sontli of Ithaca. The one in Michi

Express Robbery.
The Owego Gazette" gives an account of a
young man named C. M. Andross, wbo has for
the past two years been employed as night clerk
at the depot in that place, by the United States
Express Company, whehas been arrested and b
now in jail charged with the embezzlement 'ol
money packages which were in Ids care, at the
depot, to the value of $BOO. It appears that
Andross has, for a short time past, been in the
habit of gambling with other young men, and
the principal part of the money has peen lest in
this manner. Whenever he lost he was emeue- •
tomed to take more money in hopes of retriev
ing his previotislosses, but luck being against
him ho finally became hopelessly Involved, A
few days before the artest, Mr. E. W. Mitchell,
Division Superintendent, U. S. Express Compa
ny, talked with Audross in relation to his gam
bling which he confessed, but insisted that he
had taken no money. Andress left on the train
for Ithaca on Monday morning at 5 o'clock,nad
was subsequently arrested at Syracuse, on . a tel
egram from this place, and was broughtback6
Owego by policeman Jay Robinson, arriving on
Tuesday noon. Previous to his departure, Ant
dross confessed the whole affair to pia tide;
giving her dm way bills and empty money en
