EP AND AWAKE. The importance which attaches to a fall attendance at the primary delegate meetings to be held on Saturday nest, cannot. be too highly estimated. If the blood of pure Democracy fires the veins of the members of our party, supineness and inactivety will not be written upon its banner,. but most aznredly at this auspicious time, we shall be ready as in limes past,.to show our honesty in the de fense of pure principles, by marshalling in full force with our truest and best men for our leaders, and enter our protest in its fullest strength against Radicalism, cor ruption and despotic usurpation. Let ev ery lover of his country and its prosper ity under a faithful administration, and a republican form of government, be up and awake, discharging his whole duty. The time was when pure Democracy held sway in this county, and we see by the signs of the times that the day is not far distant when "the year of jubilee" shall again come if every man in our ranks is band at his post with his whole armor on, ready for the fray. Let no minor duty interfere with the primary and most im portant duty of attending the delegate meetings, where the foundation for our future success mast be laid. Let every voter be present in his c placc and let his presence and counsel assist in sending a full delegation to our County Convention on Monday nest. Never In the history of 'oar party was it more important that we should be up and awake and have ev ery man in his place than at this time, jest on the eve of a Presidential election. Shall it be said of the Democracy of old Susquehanna who have "bearded the lion in his den," during, the years of Radical misrule that when viCtory was ready to perch upon our banner we were derelict in our duty We believe that the an swer by a fall attendance at ihe primary meetings on Saturday next, and a full rep resentation of wisest counselors at the Convention au Monday next will answer wohatically, No. Business of the great est itapprtance is to be transacted, and let not our appeal be in vain. Vallandlgitam, wife of the late C. L. Vallimdighara, died, in Baltimore, last Sunday mond% The Unkindest Cat of all. We do not intend to fight over again the po- litical contest of 1669, for the gratification of the editor of the Montrose DExecuaT, or of the renegade Republican whom a lack of brains, has constrained him to employ to write his editor ials. We took the course that wubeliervid to be. tight in that campaign, and we art 'prepared td ' stand by the record we then made.—lfonaviii 'Reparrean. . We 'did not care but very little - last week about the Radical tactics' of the ed itor of the Republican in calling us a "liar," in the absence of any defence, for it was the best evidence possible to prove the truth of our assertion, but when for tiooth, he accuses us in yesterdays issue of employing some "renegade Republican" to write editorials for us, we do consider it "the most unkindest cut of all" for when we resort to that, we shall think that we have got just as low in the scale of intellect and political honor as the ed itor of the Republican. No, Mr. editor, you cannot dodge the point by any such falsehood. When we are obliged to em ploy even Democrats, ranch less renegade Republicans" to edit our paper fur us we shall 'haul down our name from the edi torial head. As to the question of "lack of brains" we think • a discussion might prove full as disastrous to our cotempor ary as to ourself, but we have no disposi tion to enter into it, as our readers are the most competent judges both of the law, and the facts. ANOTHER TICKET IN THE Flia.n.—The advocates of a Temperance party in Pennsylvania met in convention on Wed nesthiy and nominated Prohibition candi dates for State officers, as follows; For Auditor-General, Benjamin Spangler, of Lancaster; for Surveyor General, Hon. E. A. Wheeler, of Mercer county. They also adopted a platform, which will re ceive the endorsement of many citizens of the State who are to-day in the ranks of the Radicals. The Republican State Committee sent men on to prevent nomi nations being made, but their efforts were in rain. This movement is looked upon as very damaging to the Republican party, which favors Temperance move ments only when necessary to gain sup port. It is another sign of the times that betokens the speedy downfall of Radical ism in the State. Trouble at Washington. There is trouble in the happy family at Washington. Commissioner Pleasanton refused to resign, and threatened to make known strange things if Grant insisted on his removal. Grant insisted and Pleas anton retired, muttering vengeance. Wm. P. Wood, late chief of the Secret Service of the Treasury Department, has publish ed a card severely assailing Secretary Boutwell, and threatening to issue a pam phlet in which he will prove that the Secretary mishappropriated between two and three million dollars during his ad ministration of the Internal Revenue Bureau. The absence of the $3,000,000 credited to Treasurer Spinner has never been accounted for, and the new loan is a failure. Grant is anxiOns fora re-nomina tion, while Greeley, Logan, and other aspirants will defeat him if possible, each hopi.g to ix.k-c, Li, place. some of the Radical leaders favor free trade, others are for protection. Postmaster General Cresswell is accused of appointing rebels to clerkship in his departmet3t, and there! is general distrust and dissatisfaction The only thing that holds the precion crew together is the fear of exposure, an the only work in which they all unite ih that of pinndering the treasury. If the American people consent to reinstate such a horde of knaves and plunderers in high positions for another term of four years, our nation must have degenerated. „f:. _ - 7 -James A. McMasters, the talented editbr of the Freeman's Journal, exhunipa the following incident to point a morid and adorn a tale : "Austin Monroe was an officer of the American Regular Army, during the war of the United States with England, in 1812-14. With the slow and methodical exactness of that day, a list of officers recommended for promotion for meritorious services in that war, was made out only after Colonel James Mon roe had been made President of the Unit ed States. Ile approved ofsall the War Department had recommended, except one. His reason for not approving him was, that he was his own. nephew." The application of this leSson is so apparent as to need no further enforcement, except to say that James Monroe is not President of the United States, and U. S. Grant is. 4. -0-404..------ The Kentucky Election. The Kentucky election,which took place on Monday, the 7, resulted in a Democrat ic triumph of from twenty to thirty thou sand majority, or about the same as last year, when the majority was 31,000. Radical papers have a great deal to say about Radical gains in Kentucky, but an inspection of the vote cast this year and last, reveals the fact that with the large accession of negro votes, the Radical party has failed 'to appreciably reduce the Dem ocratic majority of the State. People may draw their own inferences as to why the Radical party, with the aid of the negro voting population, failed to I reduce the Democratic majority. Two HUNDRED AND FORTY.FOUR 311Lums - s of money wrung, wrenched, estorted from the people in 1870 to pay Two HUNDRED and SErENTEEN ZILLIONS of bonds which would have become due in 18861 This piece of flnanciering has only cost the people rarr-own MILLIONS Who ma say that Grant and Boutwel are not brave financiers? —Ttte Democrats of Massechusetts will hold their state convention at Springfield on Thursday !

ObUgittori Ballot. Some of our German exchanges says the .Fltur Quarters, of both political com plexions, are urging the passing of a law making the exercise of the nght to vote obligatory. They contend that this is the only way in which the Influence of the men of any party can be brought to and make itself felt to the eradica tion of " ring," frauds and corruptions. That such a law would be in accord ance with the spirit of our institutions is very doubtful, since our liberty is toogen crone to compel any one's acceptance of a boon which she freely offers him, and for the poSsession of which millions in other lands are yet sighing. That it would be in the interest of the party now out of power cannot be denied, since the cor ruptions of the dominant power are ad mitted, and so regretted by good men of the latter party, that they would give their support to the former, for the purpose of doing away with those corruptions; hence would the party out of power be benefit ted. But no law can be made in this country compelling men to vote. If good men will not recognize the responsibility—the moral obligation—resting upon them to turn out, take interest as to who shall oversee the affairs of the nation, and vote no law will compel them to do so, since the enforcement of law depends upon its being in accordance with the spirit of our constitution. -If they; not relishing the kind of company which usually prevails at the polls, do not come for Ward of their own free will to vote, tuns aiding in cleansing the political Aegean stables, they must expect the country to be dom neered, iu the future, as it has been in the past, by defrauders, shoulder hitters and thieves. —A negro made a clean breast of it in North Carolina the other day as he stood on the gallows. He not only confessed to the alurder of which he had been con victed, but he gave the assembled crowd of negroes some wholesome political ad vice. He advised than to keep clear of the Radical, arty, and enforced his exor tation by saying : " There is a party call ed the Union party—the Radical party. They never do us no good. They do In harm. They make us do mean thing." Many a white man has been made to do many mean things by the same corrupt party. The New York Herald says that the Orange procession in that city was a trick of the Radicals, who hoped thereby to ex cde a bloody riot, and give Grant a pre txt, under the An-Klux law, for taking ‘.tilitary possession of the city. For four mouths men in the pay of the Republican party had been joining the Iliberuiuu so cieties, and a deputation from these socie ties waited on Grant, at Long Branch and asked him to supplant- the municipal by the Federal authority. -Hon. Cassius M. Clay, one of the early abolitionist and Minister to Russia under Lincoln, in reply to an invitation to be paesent at the emancipation celebra tion at Bowling Green, Ky., concludes his letter with the following pertinent re• " .

Military men should receive military ,honors and emoluments. Civilians are entitled to the civil honors of the Repub lic. It would be just as wise on the day of battle to put civilians at the head of the- troops, -to the exclusion of military men, as it is to put civil affairs in the hands of mere soldiers. Our whole history, and all history, proves the folly of such a course. Let Grant, then, and the "Military Ring," retire into their proper sphere, and let the Government come into the hands of statesmen who know what they are doing. I speak plainly upon these sub- jects, because I believe that the attempt again to impose Grant upon the country will be rata u the Republican party, if not ruinous to the Republic. Very truly your obedient servant, C. M. CLAY. A.A. Green, &c., Corn. Bowling Green, Kentucky. • "Selriors"—"New York." Everybody, of course, remembers the story about the tailor's wife whose only tantalizing affoment to her husband was "scissors," and how, when he had thrown her into the river and she was drowning, he made motions with her thumb and fingers, as much as to say "scissors." The Radical papers have adopted the same line of argument .They have but one reply to everything and that is— " New York." Point oat to them the fact that Secre tary Boutwell certifies that there has been more than 620,000,000 stolen by Revenue Collectors and their only response is— " New York." Show from the official records that the Indian Ring has stolen millions annually, with the aid and connivance of their chief of the Department, and they belch forth —"New York." Demonstrate to them that millions upon millions have been stolen annually from the people by land-grabbers and lobyists,. and you hear "New York" in a doable-bass. In Tact "New York" is the one answer in defence if all and singular of the frauds and iniquities committed by the Radical leaders, thieves. mail contractors and scoundrels generally. Now, all this is about as sound an argu ment as to say "scissors." Suppose that New York is as corrupt as the Radical papers claim, is that any argument why corruptions ten times more .gigantic should be carried on under the 'very nose of the President? We think , not. If New York is corrupt, is that any season I why Rings here in the cities and towns shall gouge the people and oppress them with enormous taxation ? We leave the tax-payers to answer. 1 . 7 nOYALTX AT A DLECOIIIiTe-Ale. tnt Prince of Wales, and heir apparent to the crown of Brit.iin, is not surrounded by the adigii# that doth hedge a king," if we are to Judge from the telegraphic dis patches that have lately reached...us.; On the 6th init., while in Dublin, the Vice R e gal ticqge where he and his friends were.donucil4 was assailed with a show er of Stones, smashing the windows; and severely dimagum the - budding.

Some idea may be I formed of the magnitude of these sup ' plies, by the fact that over twelve hun dred millions of dollars were voted. in 1864, on the very eve of peace, and when the condition of the South might have been known. Ships of war, cannon, steamers, arms of every descriptiqn, ammunition, horses, mules, tents, equipments, stores, clothing, supplies, and all the vast - machinery of war, in all its costly and countless forms, were in possession of the various branch es the 11 ar and Navy Departments svheri the last gun was fired. It is extremely difficult to form even an approxithate idea of the value of this property, from the deceptive ruanner in which the public ac counts are kept, and the persistent refusal of the Republicans in Congress to permit any investigations to be made. The De partments nave habitually resisted infor mation On this subject, and for evident reasons, as will be shown. The appropria tions and the public debt permit ,some basis of calculation, iu the absence of stricter proof._ But one thing is certain, and it is that which most concerns the American peo ple, who had' to.bear the cost of the civil war: all lhia pio A ticrty hex disweared, 'and no returns can be found fur it on the books of the' treasury! It is estimated that over five hundred millions of dollars at least have been realized from this source by SACS since 1865, not a dollar of' which has been accounted for, so as to re lieve the country or to diminish the in debtedness. Net a cent was ever paid in to the treasury from these sales. What has become of this enormous sum of money ? The question is asked with no expectation of em answer, because this administration has remained deaf to every demand-, and its whole aim is to stifle in (l"il7.• 4 i 4 iU It is pretendett in partial e4tenuation, that the great sums thus received from these sources, have been expended by the War and Navy Departments. But. how expended ? Congress appropriates annual ly, upon estimates furnished by these de partments, for the money reqUired for the public service, and often largely beyond their real wants. So that, if this expla nation be true, the Army and Navy have not only spent the , regular appropriations, which were leg,ally presumed to be suffi cient, but have squandered five hundred or more millions besides, without author ity of law. [Front the New York SuiLl The Outrage In Louisiana. Fur the first time in the history of the nation Federal boyonets have been used to control the action of apolitical conven tion. Under the lead of the President's brother-in-law's brother, United States troops on Wednesday took possession of -es • VGalicirat, can state coriventibb - was being tield, and forced out the delegates opposed. to. the re-nomination ,of Geneml Grant. The office-holders and those looking out for office remained, and will undoubtedly carry out the wishes of Grant and his re lations. The men who have made the', Republican party of Louisiana were vir tually driven out of the Convention. Under the leadership of Governor War mouth they proceeded in a body to anotherhall ' and their convention is now in session. When the Ku-Klux bill was before Congress, the San repeatedly warn-, ed the people that it was a bill expressly prepared to enable Grant to force the election of delegates favorable to his re nomination froth the Southern States to the next Nationalltepnblican Convention. The scene in Nei Orleans on Wednesday proves that the warning should have been heeded. What has been. done in Louisiana dale is Albania, and in South and North Carolina. But even under the Kti-Klux law din President has no powerlo.usc United States troops as they were nsiai in New Orleans on Wednesday. He has usurped the power. Ho has nO more right to interfere with a Republican convention in Louisiana than he has to interfere with a Republican convention in the State of New York. He has no momright to point a bayonet at the breast of a Warmth delegate to the Louisiana convention than he has to. point a bayonet at the breast of a Greeley delegate to the New York Republican State Convention. If he may do the one ho may do the other. Grant's action on Wednesday was a glaring usurpation of the rights of the people. It gives strong color to the prediction of. General Frank Blair, that Grant would use the army if necessary to retain his hold upon the White House. Let the people be prepar ed. Their liberties 'are threatened. - WHAT GRANtE SIGNATURE COSTS.- Every important paper, inquiring the sig nature of President Grant, is sent on to Long Branch by a special messenger who is allowed ten cents a mile mileage, each way, hotel bills and contingent expenses. It is estimated that every time the sie,ffna tore of S. Grant is now appended to any commissory order, bigamy pardon, or other paper' it costs the tax-payers about seven ty-five ore hundred dollars, according to the allowance to the messengers. And all this, while Grant draws his full salary, smokes his cigar, laughs in his sleeves at cajoled people, and plots with his crowd of office-holders to secure a re-nomination.

The Potato Bag. We notice from some of our exchanges that the potato bug, which has provell each a pest in the flelde. of the West for the Test few years, hit already made-its appearance in this section; thotigh bapi ly too lad to do atiy material damvi the 'present seam. • • The true Colorado potato bug origina ted in the Rocky Mountains, where its feeds upon a wild vine much resembling the 'potato, and for a. fevi years past has been gradrmllrworking its way eastward. For some time it was estimated that its progress was not over fifty miles a year, and the best authority on its habits and travels, Dr. Welsh, of lowa, estimated that it could not reach the Atlantic sea-boar before 1880. Lat 4 observers, however, reckon that the advance guard of the bug army would reach the western boundary of the State of New York some time this summer, andrt thence toward the coast early'next Spring. It is now evident that even these had not rightly calculated the rate of which the potato bug travels, for although we have heard nothing of their depredations fitrther south it is clear that they have commenced their ravages here, and it therefore stands our farmers well in hand to keep a watchful eye upon 'the potato vines and destroy every one of the pests as soon as they are discovered. In order that they may the more intelli gently proceed in their work we submit the following account of the habits of the potato bug, together with their natural enemies, and tbe,remedies that have prov ed snevessful in abating a terrible scourge: The eggs are deposited by the female to the number of 700, according to Dr. Hen ry Schirmer, at internals during 40 days, on the leaves of the potatoes, in somewhat regularly arranged clusters. After the lapse of about six days they hatch into lame, which feed upon the foliage of the plant for about 17 days. They then descend to the ground, where they change into pupa at the surface of the earth. The perfect insect appears in from 10 to 14 days after the pupa is formed ; begins to pair in a week; and on the 14th day commences to deposit eggs, thus requiring about 50 days from egg to egg again. This period may, however ( vary some, accord ing to the state of the weather, and the abundance or scarcity of fi.iod when in the larva; state. From four to five broods are hatched out during the season. The color of the egg is a deep-orange ; the larrre are cream colored, with a black head ; the first joint is light colored, edg ed with black; and along the sides is a double row of black spots The felts arc black. The Colorado potato bag comes out of the ground in the Spring when the potato plant begins to develop its leaves. It winters over in the bng state and comes out nnimpreg,nated. the eggs, to the number of 25 or 30, are deposited on the under side of the leaves. There are a number of insects which prey upon the potato bug. Among these are the " lady birds," or as they are more popular known, "lady bugs." The eggs of "lady bugs" are very much like those of the Colorado potato bug in color, but are smallerand not so many in a cluster. Care should be taken not to structive to the potato bag of any of their insect enemies. The spitted soldier bag, the brown squash bug, the bordered soldier hug the many banded robber bug all prey upon the larva; of the Colorado potato bug. Besides these, which are all true bugs— llcteropters, there are six beetles---Coleop tra—which, according to Mr. Glen, are known to be the cannibal foes of the pest iferous potato hug, both in the larva) and beetle state_ These are the Virginia bee tle, the striped. and ash-grey and blister beetle, the fiery, the elongate, and the murky ground beetle. The remedies proposed are numerous, and every farmer can compound one for himself. Some potato-growers assert that common land plasterolthough not speedy, is a sure cure for their ravages. This also acts us a fertilizer. Weak lime sprinkled over the plants between sandown and dark is a good remedy—the bugs being mainly nocturnal feeders. A handful of sulphur boiled in two gallons of water has also proved effica cious. Powdered hellebore and soot have also served as destroying agents. A far mer of much experience, and withal an entomologist, recommends making one or more holes around the hill, with a stick about two inches in diameter, and shaking the bugs into it; and this being the sea son when the opposite sexes are attracted toward each other, a few bugs in a hole form a decoy by which great numbers are collected together. The hole should be from about 8 to 12 inches deep, which will prevent them making their escape, In this way immense numbers will be de stroyed before the eggs have been deposi sed, and a terrible nuisance, to a great ex tent, abated. Much has been said about the poison ous nature of the bug. It is admitted that a bite from the insect may be poison ous, under certain eonditions. The best authorities agree that no ill effects follow from crushing the bags in the hand. People—unless the flesh is abraided— need not be afraid of going into the field and killing as many as they please. While they may be picked off by the hand with impunity, they need not be crushed by , the fingers. NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. The conservative papers cf North Carolina concede that the proposition to call a con• stitntional convention has been voted down. The Wilmington "Journal" of the 6th gives some particularsof the meth od of conducting the election iu that city. It says: "No one registered was sworn, unless demancledtby a conservative chal lenge on election day. At the polls irr the Third ward there was no paper or book for recording the names of voters until Martin, one of the poll-holders, fur nished a memorandum book from his own poCket.': - Challenging `was allowed but did no good, as in nearly every instance they were allowed to - vote.; One or two ne groes who had beeti - living id the ward but ten days were challenged brit allowed to:vote, iinuniber of whom can be proved to be ,under. age." The North Carolina papers wear to be unanimous in coun selling their readers to bear with patience the buideni under which they are strug= - gling. The Chailotteu Observer" sup gests that as the State is nearly bankrupt already-not much additional paper based on its credit can be evaded to be 'siege. tiated ' Death efriarbe Can. While the death of Alice Cary is even pat freshju the memory, we are called upon to chronicle the demise of her l eister 40, though less gifk, was one Of thC torlhiest female write'' - of, the country, She died at Newport, Rhode 31, after a distressing Massif of two months. Unlike her sisters, all of whom inherited a consumptive tendency from their mother, the health of the sub ject of this sketch had always been re markably 'good, and her death was en trn expected .as to almost: shock those to whom she was intimately known. Her health began to fail her in Jane, and she finally". went to Newport, in hopes that a change of air would prove beneficial, where the grim messenger finally overtook her. We are indebted to the N. Y. Tribune for the following brief sketch of the life of the poetness: " The life of: Miss Cary was so insep arably blended with that of her sister Alice, that their biography would seem almost identical. She was born five years later than her sister, but they began to write for the. press atabout the same time, and during the twenty-five years that their names were before the public as authors they were so closely associated that few ever thought of one withont also thinking of the other. And yet, in spite of the mutual sympathy that bound them to each other so closely, they were very unlike, not only in person, but in mental constitution. Such was the difference in their style that no poem of the one was ever attributed, even in a moment of for getfulness, to the other. Born in 1825, eight miles north of Cin cinnati, she first became known to the public as a contributor to the periodicals of the Universalist denomination, and afterivard more widely as a writer in The National Era, at Washington. She has written far less copiously than her sister, and almost nothing in prose. Of the "Poems of Alice and Phmbe Cary," pub lished in Philadelphia in 1850, only about one-third were written by the.last named. Her next venture was in "Poems and Parodies" a volume all her own, publish ed by Micknor & Fields in 1854; but her latest and best work was " Poems of Faith, Hope anti Love," published by lluyti & Houghton in 1868 We have said her latest, and we must not forget the impor tant aid she rendered Dr. Deems in the compilation of " Ilyms for all Christians," published by Hurd & Houghton in 1869. ller poems are marked by a buoyant faith a sunny philosophy, and a hearty ind, - pendence of manner, which no one ever succeeded in affeetin ,, , and no one who possesses them could afford fo barter for wealth or fame.

The Tong Girl Who lioasted a The following is taken from the New Orleans Picayune of the 20th of July: In going through the parish prison a few days since, the attention of the reporter was attracted to a young girl, apparently not more than fifteen years of age. She Ivacaut.brglin.lair, and a complex ion as fresh ana' 'wane as - iwin: - -rt.,, bine eyes were singularly soft and intelli gent, and her whole appearance indicated the free joyous characteristics of youth and happiness. Yet this amiable looking creature, this fair, delicate Minerva of slender form and ingenious face, is said to be a devil incarnate. She was not a pris oner, only a visitor to the institution, and when the reporter saw her she was con versing with a noted burglar; indeed, she says she is a cousin of Pete Mutiday's and goes under the soubriquet of Lily. She is almost as fair and delicate as one. Her career is a remarkable series of ad ventures and escapes. About s year ago, she lived in San Antonio, Texas, and for some real or fancied misconduct received a severe castigation at the hands of the man with whom she was living. Burning with resentment and conscious of her inability to cope with him in physical strength,she waited until the next night when - he was asleep, and then locking the doors of the room and closing every avenue of escape, she prepared for a work of horror almost impossible to conceive. On one pretext or another she sent all the inmates of the house away, and procuring paper and oth er inflammable material, built a funeral pyre around the lof the sleeping man. J his done, she set 're to it, and locking the door behind her, ed the house. The man woke up and found the house was full of flames, and escaping from the room irlisliterally roasted. One bide of his body was burped almost to a cinder. He has never recovered from his injuries, and is to-day a hopeless invalid; suffering excruciating torture and continual an guish. His generosity—perhaps his sense of atonement—prevented his prosecuting the girl, and she made her escape to New Orleans. Arriving there, she took apart ments on ToulbuSe street, between Ram part and Burgundy, where she still resides. She is yet very ydung, .certainly not more than seventeen at the furthest, her vin dictive and savage fury when excited is a terror to all her, acquaintances. It is strange that beneath an exterior so fair and beautiful should be concealed the ele ment of such lawless violence. —Tho State election in Kentucky was held on Monday the 7.
