Volume 32 giemocrat abitorial. Gol3 closed in New York, on Saturday it 'll2. Hon. William A. Wallace was elected United States Senator, from this State, Tuesday, .lan. 19th, by a strict party vote. There is not, much difficulty in arnY ing',at a conclusion on Louisiana affairs, aftei• reading the report of the Congres* siouaj Committee. Ne'w HaMpshire Republicans in State Consention assembled, protest against a third term for the degraded occupant of the Presidental chair. Talk about intimidating negro voters— hasn't Grant discharged every white of fice-holder who dared to open his month ag,ainst anything the usurper sees fit to put forth—much less than voting against it lion. Thomas P. Bayard, of Delaware, has been unanimously elected to - the United States senate. There outs but one republican member of the legislature.-- fle went into caucus and instructed lath sell to support the deniocratic nominee. We give our readers, this week, the re— port of the committee of Congress which examined into the affairs of Louisiana.— This report was the unanimous opinion of two republicans,—Phelps and_Foster, —and one Democrat Potter. The "Royal" press call Phelps and Foster "Weak minded," "donghfaced," "Maga by-pamky" persons. It is a ywculiarity of party politics at this time that the bolting process is con fined to the republican ranks. Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska re volt when called, upon to return adminis tration men to the United States Seri, ate. In Michigan and Nebraska the bolters have beaten the regulars, and the prospect is good in the other two states. 'tile Rocbesier Union notes that it is 'a siznificaut tact, credible to the Repu¢li can journals of the country, that in al most eveery instance where a Republican journal supporta the military interference iu Loni-iana and Mississippi, the editor, I olds a post offici, internal tevenue office or some other federal office, and no more Aare say his soul is his ourn.than the ma chine men who carry the musket and point the bayonet. The conflict between whites and blanks, at Colfax court house took place abou t two years ago. Yet that unfortnnate,af lair ie seriously offered to the congression al committee by the Kellogg usurpation as one of the proofs that ten thousand colored republicans were prevented from curing by intimidation at the last elee -11011. on grounds like these the Kellogg returning board certised theelection of a radical majority to the legislature. After all the trouble of Grant to s t up rr . i ,ort Kellogg's usurpation by the bayonet it appears tint it will be obliged to suc cumb for want of funds. There is no money in the treasury to . carry on the government, such as it is. The bayonet legislature of De Trobriand and Sheri— dan is quarreling with Kellogg with a crew of diverting enough money from the taxes to be collected to pay the Salar les of the Members. 'The situation Of this pet of radicalism is evidently' pre carious enough notwithstanding the .encouraging presence of the army under twridan. Some people object, says the Pitsburg Post, bvcause we have used harsh terms in speaking of Grant and Sheridan.— For answer we have to say that the cir cumstances of the case demand thitts we &ball call things by their right nudes.— Grant has destroyed the dignity, of his office and forfeited the respectidue to it from the people. He is the only Presi dent that bus ever dared to appear Trunk in public and on the public streets, or who has belittled his position by deliver• log Partisan 'harangues against his poliV ical opponents. No other President liar ever dared to subvert civil government by the military arm. Hence, we call bini a hesotted tyrant because that is the only term that describes him. When 'General Nieridan proposed to murder the people of the South in cold blood, we used pre cisely such English adjectives as fitted rush a monstrous proposition. The po- sitions that these men have debased shall secure them no immunities. The religious press speaks out manfully on the Louisiana question. The Indepen dent says: "The ultimate responsibility for what was done by Federal troops fiats upon the President; since the Constitu tion males him the commander in-chief of the army and navy of the iirtiited Siates. if his military subordinates act ed without his authority and agailist it, then let them be promptly tried andPull idled for the offense. Hill assumption of the direct responsibility fur the things done is simply obbolutiam in full r : blast which Congress should stamp with , an unmistakable rebuke. The cause of Loniaiana, in the principles involeed, - is now the cause of the whore clountiy. It is no question for mere partisanThip 4 -- The Republican party has the majeritY•iu both houses of Congress ; and if, as thus represented, it does not right this 'Wrong _ then it will have no fature before it ex cept That of doom. 141 . 9 party , fa. this country can carry such a load of infamy ' without being ground to powder wider its weight." The . Christian At Work is scarcelY less etnpliatic. "An' able ond dangerous departure from the organic law upon 'which our #epliblicati • govertinieta ie founded, thin ,filllitary In• terierenci by the'President's-direction is indefensible and utterly without a shad ow of rig4t. - It is not bnis , an insk to the State, it is a direct challenge al, - will to the .Government and people. of every State in the Union. President Grant:boa wrest mistake apd - he Will find it • , • • asiunilikixd Senate of Arkansas on Sainrdai passed a substitute for the House resoln,- tfon condemning-the interference of Fed era troops in the organtzation of the Louisiana Legislature. The substitute contradicts General Sheridan's "banditti" despatch so far as it relates to Arkansas. The suggestion has been thrown out Republican newspapers that any inves tigation into the management of the State treasury by the house of represen tatives, without the concurence of the senate, will be useless and impotent for want of authority. It will be time enough to consider this point when it rises for judicial investigation. It the power to inquire into abuses be among those "becessarY for the' legislation of a free state," there is no question but that it resides in both the senate and the house But the lionse has the sole , power of im peachnient,which covers the widest range of investigation as to the action of all civil officers. The people have begun shrewdly to suspect that when some men pretend they must remain in power to protect the lives of negroes, the cry of murdered negroes must be raised to-keep those men in power. There is another reason why this cry will be disturbed now. The `people are asking themselves. and well fifiey may, whether the very policy which 'is professedly followed to prevent such outrages is not itself well calculated to :serve as the cause of more. They look at Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, find that the self government of the peo ple unobstructed is gradually but steadily advancing those States in peace, order and prosperity. They look at Louisiana • and find the self-government of the peo ple obstructed and hear the reports of turmoil and conflict. They do fail to conclude that the forcing of Bullock and Foster Blodgett upon Georgia would have reduced that state to the same nuhappy I condition which in Louisiana the usurp* two of Kellogg has brought forth. Look ing at that picture and at this,they begin wisely to make up their minds that the Southern States can give far better gov— ernments to themselves than any insid ious interference can impose upon them. Governor Hartranft in his anual mes sage has suggested that compulsory ed ucation will be a good thing, and accor dingly a bill has been read in place by Senator Payne, of Luzerne county, main ly cdpying• the provisions of theliew York compulsory education law. Its provisions are mainly as follows All parents or guardians who have charge of children between the ages of eight and sixteen years are to be cpmpel led to have them instructed in spelling reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography and the history of the United States, for sixteen weeks in each year. All persors employing "children, be tween the ages of eight and sixteen, are required to see that they have been in attendance at school for sixteen weeks in the year preceding such employment, If parents or guardians prefer to give children within the terms of the act sixteen weeks of education in the branch es of learning fixed upon, at home or at private schools, they are at liberty to do In cases where parents are too poor to buy the necessary text books they are to be furnished out of the public fund. Upon school directors and trustees in townships, towns and cities is devolved the task of carrying these provisions in- to effect. They are:to ascertain the own her of children of the proper age to de termine the qualification of parents or instructors in cases Ciere private instruc tions are to be given to see to the appre. henaion of vagrant or truant children to indeed' mental or physical incapacity and to attend to tue collection of fines for violations of the law. For assistance in these duties they are authorized to call in the police and constabulary forces of the state. The school boards of each judical district in this state are endowed with sub-legislative powers and may adopt their own rules for carrying the provis ions of the law into effect. subject to the approval of the common pleas judges. The school boards are authorized to sue for and collect gnes imposed upon parents and guardiami for neglecting to comply with the law,- which are to be placed to the account of the school fund.

Shure on the Situation We extract the following from the speech of Senator Carl Shun in the Senate of the United States January 11th. Now, look at the condition of the Southern States. I remember the time, not many years ago. when Virginia Was said to be in an alarming condition. I remember prominent representatives of that State having assured us that, if the so-called Conservatives of that state should obtain the control! 01 the-govern ment, no negro would be safe, and the streets and fields would run with blood. So it was with North Carolina, ea with . Georgia, indeed there was much lament able disorder muting in .these states during the first year after the war. What was the remedy P You remember what policy was-staged with regard to Georipa.: It was to prolong: tRe existence of Gov. Bullteg's Legislature for two years beyond its constitutional term to strengthen the power of Own Bullock—the champion plunderer in Georgia—who' not long af ter had to run away to escape th 4 clutch es of 'justice ; and unless that were done the Senator Iron Indiana predicted a carnival of murder and streams of blood. Well, it was not done, the people of those' States gradually recovered tlieiree exer cise of pelf' goventriient, and what was the result ? Virginia is to-day as quiet and orderly a State as she ever was, or as 'any other, in fact, and every citizen is securely enjoying his rights. And who will deny that in North Carolina and Georgia an improvement has taken place, standing in Most glaring contrast to Bpi fearful predictions made by the tuivocates '9l federal interference, and that most -VMMINt, happy improvement is sustained in those States under and by the a4govertiment of the people. That. is alnatter Of his— tory unquestionable and_ unquestioned, and that improvement ivtlt proceed fur ther under the same self government of the people as society becomes more firmly settled in its new condition and is by nec essity led to recognize more clearly the dependence of its dearest mterests on the maintenance of public order and safety. Intimidation Ait waters--1 doubt WI there has been much of it ; there has been much of it by terrorism ; by, the discharge of tahorere from employment ;1 but not on one side alone. I know no language ,too severe. to condemn them ; buti cannot forget -that the only act of terrorism aid intimidation I ever happen ed to Witness with my own eyes was the 1 cruel clubbing and stoning of a colored' man in North Carolina in 1872, by men of his own race, because lie had declared for the Conservatives ; and if the whole story of the South were told it would be discovered that such a practice has not been onfrequent. I cannot forget the spectacle of Marshal Packard with the dragoons of the United States at the dis position of the Chairman of the Kellogg Campaign Committee,at the late election, riding through the State with wall as sorment of warrants to arrest men by the wholesale. I cannot forget that, as to the discharge of laborersi Iron • mploy. mesa for political causes, a most seduc tive and demoralizing exarrible is set by the highPst authority in the land. While we have a law on the statute books in posing a peualty for the intimidation of voters by threatened or actual discharge from employment, it is the notoi ous practice of your government to discharge every one of its employees who dare to oppose the Administration party ; and that is done North una South, East and West, wherevet the arm of the gtivern ment r eaches. I have always condemned every species of intimidation intertering with the freedom of political action. and, therefore, I am for a genuine civil service reform. But, while your national Gov ernment is the champion intimidator in the land, you must not be surprised if partisans on all sides profit from its teach ings; nor do I think that the intemida tion which deters a colored man from voting with the opposition is less detet table, or less harmful to him than that which 'threatens him as a Repnblican• State Grange.

In one instance. the editor of the Shreveport ',News, in anticipation of the frustration by the Restoring Board of the will of the people openly declared that the only rem• coy was to kill the t usurpers and declares this „to be the sentiment of the Consery Vafivei of his section of the State, but beyond a newspaper editor or two decla ration even of that sort was brought to our. own notice, although it was admitted !on all bands that the white people of the whole State felt greatly outraged by the !action of the E , turning Board. Indeed, it is conceded by all parties that the Kel logg government is only upheld by fede ral military. Withdraw the military and the govern nient will go down. This was true before I the 4th of January as well as now. Gov. Kellogg says this is owing to the doubt that Congress has permitted about the legality of hie government. The Con servatives say this is not only because 'his government is illegal, but because it has Been' abusive and corrupt. Of the white league of New Orleans, the COW II tT (4' say it.ie an organization composed of different clubs, numbering in all be-' tween 2.500 and 2,800, the members of which have provided arms for themselves, and with or without arms, engaged in `military drill. They have no uniform and their arms are the property of indi viduals and not of oiganizatioos. They Comprise a large number of reputable :.itizens and of property holders. Their :purpose they declare to be simply protec tion, a necessity occasioned by the exis tence of leagues among the Meeks with vhich the Kellogg government arrayed the black against the white race, of the want of sectirtry to peaceable citizens and their families which existed, for these reasons arid because also of the peculiar formation of the police brigade. On the other hand, the Republicans assert that this is an armed body of volunteers, en listed for the purpose of intimidating the blacks and overthrowing the Kellogg government. That it had any considera ble relations outside of the city of New Orleans, or that it was Intended in any way to interfere with the rights of color ed. citizens did not appear, nor on the, other band • did it appear that there was any rxtensive secret league omong the blacks of any kind ;I that the White League would readily co-operate in any feasible . schethe for overthrowing the Kellogg government yohr: committee do not doubt ; so will substantially all white citizens of Louisiana ; such organization may be dangerounnd are very rarely to 'be instilled.

If the committee were to go..behind the papers before the Board end consid er the alleged charge of intimidation on proofs before the committee their finding would necessarily be the same. Rapides parish was taken as a sample parish of intimidation, many witnesses from which, of both parties, show beyond question that there was a free. full, fair -and peaceable election and registration—= There was no eviaence of any intimida tion of voters practised on the day of elec tion, although it was asserted that the iu timidation of colored men before the elec. tion had been effected by threats of re fusal to employ them or to discharge them if they voted the Republican ticket No evidence either of discharge or of refusal to employ' was produced. Cer tain witnesses themselves, every one of fice holders, tistified generally to such action but hardly any one was able to specify a single instance on which he heard any employer so threaten_ or dis charge any voter or know daily employ er being so threatened or discharged; Nat one single colored man throughout th'eentire parish was produtied to testify either to stich threat or to the execution of such 'purpose whether before or after the election the board Commits molly ile gol seta. The committee allude' to num .erous illegal acts of the Returning Board -and says : Again we are constrained to say that the action of the Returning Bourdon the whole tias arbitrary, unjust and in our oppinion. - illegal, and that this arbitrary, unjust and illegal action alone .prevented the Muni by the hoard- of a majority 'of Conservative merlibeiC to the Lewer Rouse. The committee confined their 'in vetiti; gatiou to two parishes and 'find: that no general intimidation- of Republiban vot era was established:. No colored man was produced who had •been threatened of assulted by any Censervative because of political opinion or discharged from. cm? • ployment Or iefused employment. Of all those who- testified' to intimidation there wits . hardly•any one who ot his own knowledge•could . specify' a reliable in - stance of such acts and of the white melt who were produced - tO testify generally on such Subjects, very nearly till, if not every single one 'tuns a 'holder of offite. • • No witnesses; we believe, succeeded in naming in any parishes: • Five republi: cans who supported. he Kellogg govern.-, runt who were-not themselves office•hoW ers or Ward to.the office-holders or those having official employment OW the oth: er hand, applications to the United Stated' I Commissioners various parishes not only for alleged crimes, but because -of i alleged threats of discharge an d non employment. or other interference with preferelice were frequent Upon these applications warrants were often issued and white citizens arrested and • bound over for trial. In many localities F e deial troops were detained for service muter marshals and not only made many 'arrests immediately before the election, but reports are that they were coming to particular. neighborhoods about the time of the election fur the purpose of making such arrests which served, as the Con servative, claimed,to intimidate and some• times even to produce a stampede among- 7 white voters. How differentiy the two parries look upon the same fact will ap pear from the test of Mr. Riddle. He was United States Commissoner in the parish of Nem .Shortly before the election, upon application of oolored per &ins he issued a large nume r of warrants. He eonsi..ered it his duty, upon the ar rest of the persons charged to require bail from sureties who possessed landed es tates within the parish certified by the A,sessor of the parish to be of sufficient value, and of which the title was approv ed by the th;gister of Deeds. This rule necessarily produced delay in procuring hill for persons arrested, and he was wait ed ou in one case 1 , ) , a procession of citi zens who offe,ed him a bocd signed by every man in the procession. This is re garded as is derision of his proceedings, and refused to receive the bond. He was called as a witness to prove that any in timidation existed in that parish. He had himself ro knowledge of any act of the kind except this procession which he thought was calcniced to intimidate col "red voters. He had no idea that arrests made under his warrants and proceedings under them had any effect in interfering with Conservative voters. On the other hand the Conservatives in that neighbor h iod thought about this just the reverse. indeed, the reports of military officers in eemmand of forces of the United States in the country, though generally indicating the condition of. quiet and order take sometimes an entirely different view of the si•uation. Negro Conservatives intim idated. On the other hand it wa in evi dence that the blacks who sought to act with the Conservativep arty were on their • pat t sotnetimes exposed to enmity and a base. In the interior one colored man to the colored people because they are colored; but beCitiae, they regard them. selies as defrauded out of the election of 1872, yet , more '.out' of the _last election, and.becauie they think their State Gov ertirnevit has: been to the last degree de. strnctive unit corrupt. Indeed, in our judgment, the 'substantial citizens of the State will submit to any lair determine- Hutt of the question of the late election or anything by which they cal secure a firm and good Government. What they seek is peace and opportunity for pros perity„ To: that end, they will support any government that will afford them just protection in their distress. They have ' . got beyond any . mere question of political party. The- committee recites at.length the facts relative to the attempted organization 0 1 the Legislature on January 4th and conclude as follows : Your Committee have not he t. able to agree upon any recommendation, but upon the situation in Louisiana as it appeared before. us we are all agreed. The report is signed by Charles Foster, William Walter Phelps and Clarkson N. Potter. The evidence upon which the sub-committee base their conclusion is not set being written out. It. will be sub mitted hereafter if it shall be deemed desirable. The committee themselves voted to adopt the report, and also to re port the same to the House with a rec• ommendalion that the same be printed and recommitted. Business Locals FIREMEN'S I RECEPTION.

Pmts.—These deserv edly celebrated and popular medicines have ef fected a revolution in the healing art,and prov ed the &WO of several maxims which have formals) , years obstructed the progress of med ical science. The false supposition that Con sumption is incurable deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that diseaseand patients a fflicted with It reconciled themselves to death without malting an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be una voidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption eon he cured, and that It has been cured in a very great number of cases (soma of them apparently desperate ones) by Scheeek's Pulmonic Syrup alone ; and in other cases by the same medicine in connection with Seheneles Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninter rupted good health for more than forty years, was supposeo, at one time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians' having pronoun• cad his case hopeless, and abandoned him tb his fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medV eines, and, since his recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck's poi; parations with the same remarkable success. II Full directions accompany each, making it not fibs lutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck unless patients wish their lungs exam . hued, and for this purpose he is. professionally at his principal office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sm., Philadelphia, every Monday, where all let. tees for advice must be addressed. Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists. THE MONTROSE s for 1875. Prospectu A NEE ERA IR TEE LEM OF TEE "MEW CIII.T"--WILIT IT PEOPOSEB FOB TEE PII• TIIIIE-TXI3 ADVEETIB/140 &ND JOBBLEG PACTLITIEB-- WELT TEE PEOPLE Tams OF IT The DEMOCRAT for 1875 is very much enlarged and improved, making it one of the first papers iu size and appearance in this section of the State. The only Dew ocratic pt per in the County. Is particu larly popular for its fearless advocacy of the rights of the masses. Pure and Old Time Democracy, its tallisman, but inde pendent of all cliques, rings, or jobs. Will stand by the right "though the Heavens fall." Those not of its political faithad mire its honest independence. Has more than doubled its cireulation in the last five years WITHOUT ANY CANVASSING.- Is devoted to the interests of the whole people of the county. Will contain in teresting matter for all, the Merchant, Me chanic,and Farmer—poetry and miscella ny. Increased in size but not in price.— Will be sent, postage free, to any sub scriber in or out of the county for 82.00 per year in advance. We now havea Can vasser who will visit all parts of the Coun ty. ADVERTISING The Dsmoctur as an advertising medi urn is indispensable tu business men o whatever class, and in many sections o the County, the only medium througl which they can reach a large class' . who need but the proper information to bestow their valuable patronage. Local Adver tisers should take into consideration- that a circulation, outside of thcie who are in the County or the vicinitY where-they may expect patronage, is of no value to them, if it was, the New York Herald or some such paper would be the best me dium. The cry of "large circulation is often used when it is of no advantage to the advertiser. We do not make the as sertion that our paper is the only niedint of value, but that it is the only one by which the advertiser can reach a very large number of families which it is for h.s advantage to reach. This is frankly acknowledged by some of the best busi nessmen of the County, who knew from experience. We respectfulty request an examination of oar rates, as they are reasonable. JOBBING DEPINTMENT The Jobbing Department of the DEM osoBAT is .a specialty. We are constantly adding New Material to our Jobbing De partment and intend to keep doing so.— We have power and jobbing presses of the latest and improved style. One of the best recommendations for it is the con . - staidly increasing patronage. Our pa trons find that wo can compete with Binghamton, Scranton, Ithaca, and even New York city, In prices, and 6180 in quality of all kinds of work needed in this locality. We do not propose to work for nothing, but we have a schedule of prices which we strictly adhere to, that invites competition. Neatness, Cheapness, and Promptness is our basis. V respectful ly invite the attention of the public and their patronage if we deserve it. KIND WORDS The DEMOCRAT is an ever welcome visitor, a real household necessity, always , contenting the local and general news.— We particularly admire it for its indepen- dence in advocating the rights of the masses.
