—A Miserable wretch of an old bache
lar observes that he looks under tbe mar
riage head for the news of the weak.
Thii,Duty of Democrat.
It is tb e duty of every Democrat through
out the tulted States to go to work at
once and see that his township is proper
ly organized, by electing the best and
most responsible men for ward and town
committees. The foundation for a
thorough and complete organization
should be commenced at once, not by
inefficient's, and office seekers, but by hon
est apd.intefligent citizens. The" farmer
and mechanic, are the ones the nation
looks to for its safety, A man's private
business is no excuse for neglecting his
duty to the state. The township organiza
tion is the foundation upon which the
whole political structure is based. If bad
men control the ,township organizations,
worthless delegates will be sent to the
county conventions, as well as to the
State and . National Convention& No
Democrat who has any of the spirit of
1776 in his body should- hesitate for a
moment.
If the country ever needed the undivid
' ed efforts of its best men, it is to-day,
when villainy and fraud pervades every
branch of the. Government, from„the
President down to the lowest ward official,
and the great majority of the-better -class
of men look on- in disg,nst; without raie
ing a band to stay the onward tuaich of
destruction. It is sad but trim that earn.
lessness and selfishness seems to pervade
all classes—the hikkeit Man as well as the
aspiring thief Who is daily robbing the
public either through the /ow or by open
fraud. There is oae -13E513 method by
which the' National Government may be
rescued froth such men tie Butler, Morton

Grecley's Second Edition:
In order to break the force tor Mr.
Oneley's recent,hlows upon „the "thieving
carpet-baggers," 'certain Radical papers
stated that he !derived his itnpriiiisigns,
:from" Democratic soarces." . - Thia';rll4
the-sweet-tempered philosopher -Of -Alio
Tribune, who rubbed in his former dec
larations as follows: "Now it is the sim
ple truth that, oar worst impressions of
that sort of 'carpet-baggers' were made
by the statements,_not of Democrats ut
all; but of zealous Reptiblicana, One of
titem was himaelr emignuit trom
Illinois, who never voted any other than
a Republican ticket, but who went South
to plant cotton, and declared himself
nearly ruined by the heavy taxes imposed
on his plantation by the 'carpet-baggers,'
who, by managing the negroes,ruled and
robbed his county, continually putting
up swindling jobs of bridge-building,
&c, to fill their own pockets. Another
was our friend of many years, who, last
Fall, headed the Republican State ticket
in Louisiana, and was elected by on over
whelming majority. We take the liberty
of indicating him without leave, because
thelact that he is making a determined
fight as Auditor,.against the robbers who
would gladly ruin the credit as they have
absorbed the funds of the State, is so
widely known that he cannot if he would
conceal the truth' tbarbe is a natural ene
my of thieves. So in Texas we heard
more to the prejudice of rascally carpet•
baggers from Republicans than from
Democrats. Had we heard nothing 'at
all, the public records and financial ex
hibits of sveral Southern States bear tes
timony that cannot be misunderstood
nor explained away."
A Typographical Error.
The spurious Democracy of Susque
hanna county will hold their nominating
convention at Montrose, on Monday Au
gust 21st—Republican.
The above, which appeared in the Mon
trose Republican, evidently is a typo
graphical error of the editor, both date
and- qualification, as the only vera-rions
organization in Susquehanna county holds
its nominating convention on 'Monday
the .14th of August, as it is made up of
the spew-ings from the corruption of every
organization since the nation. was found
ed. The error is not to be wondered at,
as it is only a very small one compared
with the very many egregious ones which
appear from time to time.
A Brilliant Interrogatory.
The Montrose DEMOCRAT "sings mum"
on the New Departure. How stand the
unterrified Democracy of Susquehanna
county ?—itentrose Republican.
I want to know ! Dew tell! How they
must hare suffered? When did the editor
of the Republican return from Liberia?
—Portions of Maine, New Hampshire,
and Massachusetts were on Thursday last
visited by an earthquake. The towns of
Portland, Saco, Biddeford, Brunswick,
Portsmouth, and Concord were shaken
by the internal TeNiiii
77 - "'" -- witi a deep rumbling sound.
Buildings were rocked, church bells rung,
and much damage done to property. The
earthquake seems to hare been general in
all the States named, but not to have ex
tended beyond their limits. Some years
ago such occurrences were rare East of
the Mississippi river. But within the last
ten years they have increased both in fre
quency, severity, and duration.
—The Republican piss is about equal
ly denunciatory of Mayor Hall and Su
perintendent Kelso for their order of
Mouthy Jnly 9th, prohibiting the Irish
street parades on the l3th,.fdr the purpose
of preventing the threatening rioting and
bloodshed, and of Governor Hoffman for
his problamation countermanding the said
order and promising protection with all
means at his command, to any and all
bodies of citizens desiring to assembly and
march in peaceful procession on that
clay. It is therefore very evident that our
Radical cotemporaries are exceedingly
hard to please.
—The Harrisburg Patriot says: 'Gen.
Hancock is reported to be opposed to his
own nomination for President for the fol
lowing reason: Ho thinks that' by the
time the American people get through
with Grant they Will not" want another
Soldier President for a generation. The
difference in this case, however, is that
Hancock•has shown the highest capacity
for civil administnition, and the utmost
regard for the constitution of his country,
while Grant's career evinces the titiost
ignorance of the constitution,
.and total
disregard for the rights and liberties of
his fellow citizens. - • • • •

And some letters, recently published,
like the following, are causing a new im
petus to the old desire of the Radicals to
send additional troops to finish up recon
structions; evidently.they are not recon
structed enough yet. Hear this :
(For the Carolina Sparton.j

following will greatly oblige us. We
wish to mform•the public that we intend
forever to renounce our allegiance to the
Radical party. We have been deceived by
designing demagogues, and have kilned
the Union Leagues in good faith; bat we
have seen the error of our ways, and in
tend to sever our connection forever with

ever we cast another vote it will be "pro

HARRY &COLEY, LINES SVIIRATT,

And this from the same paper :
A CARD.
We, the undersigned, having several
years experience as members of the Re
publican party, becoming convinced that
the policy of that party is not promotive
of the public welfare, avail ourselves of
this opportunity to announce public' your
withdrawal from all affiliation with said
party. TENCH BLA /EWELL,
M. L Miarrix
And the editor says upwards of an
hundred other prominent Radicals, both
white and black, have lately renounced
and denonnced the Republican party.
The adherents of Orant call these out
rages by the Ku-Klux and cull for pro
tection. They can account for it in . the
South that way, but how can they ac
count for the same turning from error to
truth in the North and West? There are
all over the land, and there is
nothing will save the Republican party,
buts military government. Shall they
have it ?
Simon Cameron.
The Washington Patriot draws this
truthful picture of the senior Radical
Senator from Pennsylvania, to wit:
His career is a serious, social and polit
ical puzzle, worthy of study. Of the
struggle of early life, we speak with re
spect. It is the career, after the high level
was reached, which give us pause. It is
the triumphant course of poor political
manceuvre, and none the less poor, be
cause, with low aims, it has been success
ful. For thirty years the influence of one
man in Pennsylvania, with varying alter
nations, has been mischievous in effect
and demoralizing in example. Senator
Cameron is well - known to L. iha confi
dential - adviser of the President; his
l
Pritin • , n eorgia; the controller
of patronage "in Pennsylvania, and, in a
mousing way, the manipulator of his
schemeii in Congress.'
The story of ancient or of current pol
itics in Pennsylvania is not a pleasant
one to look upon. Within the last thirty
years, with occasional fiasjfes to vary . the
uniformity, her statesmen , have been met
feetnaL The career of her.most eminent
son ended in sorrow and disappointment.
When, by a sort of accident, men of
bright parts and cultivated intelligence
are, as it were, jerked into the councils of
the nation, the ingenious spirit of dispar
agenient creeps up and pull them down.
Kmphatically was this the case with two
brilliant:men ' the only ones for a long
period whom Pennsylvania sent, for single
terms, to represent her in the Senate. , -,-
Mr. Cowan and Mn Buckalew,- They
still live, and, we trust, for usefulness; but
it will not be till the benumbing influence
which now paralizes agrout Common
wealth, the evil control of men of uncul
tured minds and unhesitating purposes, is
removed. Who more than Simon, Cam
eron, and his corrupt school, have con
tributed rto this result, and made the
weight of Pennsylvania of no account in
the great balance of politics ? When
General Grant made a Cabinet, he did
worse than neglect the great Republican
party of Pennsylvania. When he was
looking around for a successor for Mr.
Cox, rumor attributes to him a spasmodic
effort-for a Keystone Radical, which was
opposed by his Philadelphia proprietors.
Mr. Cameron may not think we pay
him a compliment in attributing all this
levelling-down result to his agency but
we do; He has been, not at all the stormy
petielof Pennsylvania politics, for that
little bird, though it follows steadily in
the wake of the ship and picks. up the
Crumbs . and' rouse, loves a stgrm and

Large. Bear Killed.
A large bear was killed ono day last week,
according to the record of the Turtichannuck
"Demoprat," by John Aumick, of g.at t op, on
the mountalabetween Bowman's 'Creek and Me
hoopany. The carcass, a part of which was
carried off the mountain by Mr. A.umick, was
estimated to weigh about 400 pounds. The
skin which he brought to this place, measured
upwards of 7 feet in, length and was 0 leet wide.
Three leaden bullets which bad previously been
shot at the monster, were found embedded in
the fbtty parts of the body Just under the skin ;
which, besides his great size proved quite con.
elusively that he was an " old settler." Mr. Au
mick in the evening or the same day while
watching a dear lick," saw another smaller
bear, but did not get a shot at It. These ani
mals are doubtless attracted to the tops of' the
mountains by the huckleberries which are now

A Queer ease of Oifiee-lioldlng.
A Justice of the Pence, who had been honor
ed with the'effire ibr twenty years by the chi
mps of the town of Davenport, Delaware coun
ty, was recently thrown out of office by a new
survey of the line between that town and the
town of Oneonta, Otsego county. It was as
certained that the worthy fUnctionary never
lived in Davenport, or Delaware County, and
consequently was never eligible tb the office be
held, and discharged the duties of in a very ac
ceptable manner for so long a time. Sonic ques
tion May yet be raised as , to the validity of his
decisions; and especially the legality of the mar
riage ceremonies he has performed. People who
supposed they were Married by him years ago,
may find that their homes have been a sort of
freeldve institution, and some action of the Le
gislature may be necessary to make the divisions

" Caution."
We find the above heading in the Broome
"Republican," preceding the following an
nouncement, too late, we are sorry to say, for
the benefit of the friends of Liberia, of this
place: "Leo L Lloyd, of Liberia, whose pws
ence here was noticed recently, obtained in
Binghamton considerable soma of money, upon
the representation that he was goin ,, ' n to' Liberia
that week. It turns out that lie didmot go, and
it, Is ascertained by letter from New York that
no Vessel BAILS for Liberia till September. It Is
therefore achlsed that persons to whom Lloyd
may apply for assistance, should see to it that
aid is discreetly given." -
It will hardly be presumptive to say that the
above named gentleman made an appeal to the
liberality of our citizens, on his way, we sup
pose to Liberia. But, we must needs be a Tittle
t' cautious" too, as the " Republican" apparently

Frightftil Looptuotivo Explosion.
Our community was shocked, says the Mauch

day morning by another terrible accident that
occurred on the Lehigh Valley 11. R. near Coal
port. Engine "Vulcan" No. 41 was moving
Northward, when-with a noise and a shock that
was terrific, she was blown into atoms. Them
were six men riding on the engine, five of whom

found as relattal, his head being the soundest
portion of his .body and easily recorizible.
Scraps of clothing and of the bodies and splin

lay in all directions for-hundreds ~f yards. One
of the men, Martin Gerhardt, was breathing
