Andy Johnson Is for Greeley.
The mother of Vice I 'res dent Colfax
died at Sontb I5end, Ind., on Saturday.
The l)t mocratic pirty earn nothing
about Horace Greeley. They want pow
er, office, the luavee and fishes.
The Democratic party ruled 1'ennsyl
rania about thirty year, and left tbe
people the magnificent heritage of forty
millions of a debt to par.
Tub colored people stand aloof "from
Greeley. Iu him they see the represen
tative of the party that enslaved them ;
in President Grant they see thenpresen
tative of the party that give them mau
Loud. Thers is to be a great Convention of
soldiers who are in favor of electing an
administration, that is iu harmony with t
the cause that won on the bloody field of
battle The Convention will be' held at
I'ittsburg, on the 1 7th of September next
The French Government list week
Vtrm'sbed another batch of six hundred
communists from France. Horace Gree
ley and Cb tih s Buckalew would not
now be candidates of tbe Iemicracy if
such a line of policy bad been pursued
at the end of the Rebellion.
The result of the North Ca:olina
election yet seems iu doubt. Within the
past week it wa reported that the Re
publicau candidate for Governor had car
ried the State. Latterly tbe news is that
ihe Democratic candidate has been elec
ted, and that the Democrats have the
Senate and House and a majority of the
Congressional delegates. All that is ne
cetsnry in tbe case is to cultivate Job's
preat virtue, and time will tell tie truly
who has gained the election.
Sirs. Harriet Bcrcher Stowe says of
Greeley, that be has "stultified a f plen
did manhood which it has taken half a
century to make, and for ambition of
place he bas permitted his life-long ene
mies to swallow hitn, and blot out bis
work of a lifetime," She considers
Greeley now a base, dishonest, truckling,
trading politician, and says that in going
down !o Jericho be has fallen among
thieves, who are just stripping him na
ked. Tbe Philadelphia Water VYorks pnmp
ed, during tbe month of July, 1,278,226

Twenty Tears n Less Will It, They Say.
Said a prominent Democratic citizen to
us a day or two ago, "Why, sir. in lew
than twenty years from this date, the
policy of the Republican party will be
repudiated, and aat they have done will
be undone, and a policy like the old one
be adopted in iu stead. We asked, "Do
your leading men generally hold to that
opiuiou V His reply was that most of
tbe men who are on the surface as lead
ers in their party believe that the change
spoken of will be wrought in a far less
period of time.
" On all old questions of State or church
tbe sorest iudices as to how tbe members
will act. is to consult tbe leading men iu
one's own immediate commuuity. On all
old questions leading men have their set
tied preferences. Tbe leaders of tb
Democratic party prefer the peculiar in
stitutions of the South, which their cham
nions in tbe Senate Chamber of the
United States defined to be that "capital
should own its labor." That is tbe most
rigid of class rale, and they most bearti
ly believe iu that form of civilization
and that they l.ave not relinquished one
iota of their deeieu to tnke that the
ruling principle iu this government may
be learned from just such expressions of
their leaders as we have given above
These men are all Greeley and Bucka
lew men, and have never been advocates
of the Northern form of civilization that
has made this country what it is. There
is a marked, similarity of sentimeut on
these points between tbe leaders of that
party, from their local men of note to
those enioving national reputation. Of
tbe latter class take for example the le;
ter of Judge Black who became proud
nent before the nation while in, Buchan
an's Cabinet as an interpreter of the Con
etitution iu favor of the Southern form of
civilization that has been given to tbe
public within the last week, expressing
bis views on tbe atttytde of the resp- c
tive parties, and eecondiug or endorsing
tbe nomination of Greeley. Iu thai let
ter he expresses the same views, ihongl
in different phrases, as expressed by our
Democratic local friend, whose name we
withhold. He denoinces the amend
ments to tbe Constitution as frauds upon
the spirit and letter of the Constitution
and declares that tbe election of Greeley
will "I egiu ye process of their gradual
extinction.
The so-called " Liberal Republicans "
grimace a little over these avowals of
their new political associates, and assert
that the car of progress cannot be ar
rested iu its onward course toward s
higher and a better condition for the peo
ple, and they loudly proclaim by Gree-:
ley and Sumner that free government is
so permanently rooted in the Tutted
States that it cannot be ovt rlhrown. . It is
true free government has a strong bold
here, but that does not prove that it cannot
be overthrown. It is surrounded by ene
mies both at home and abroad. All of
the governments of the Old World are
its secret enemies, aud the fit tt evidence
of a reaction iu favor of tbe old Southern
form of civilization would biing these
people to the front as open workers
against ' Not them civilization," that has
placed labor on an honorable basis, such
as it never before occupied.
It is a heresy to believe that to place
such men as Buckalew and Greeley and
their present followers into control of the
-orn,..f c, ,..j i.i ....
guiciuimin, uiaic unu untll'U, WVUIU UOl
endanger free government, and it is
heresy to declare that free government
cannot be overthrown. History evi
dences the falsity of the latter poeit'on.
The Grecian States bad well nigh reached
tbe high climax of complete republics
Unfortunately reaction, under the blows
of men who believed in different foims
of civilization, set in. and tbe republics
were blotted out, and strong go'ernineiils
reared in their stead. So precisely will
Come. Once almost a complete rcpub-
lie, in which the right, of all tbe people
were recognized, she relapsed under the
steady, untiring blows of men who be.
lieved in other forms of civilization than
that the people should rule, until tbe
scepter of the Emperor was extended
over the rights of tbe people, aud then
came the 'datk ages." Let tbe peopl
be warned by these historic examples,
aud see to it that they do not entrust the
management of the governmeut to those
who believe iu a system of government
that recognizes the principle that cajii
tal should own its labor. Let us see to
it that history does not repeat itself here,
Twenty years or less will do it, they say.
Weaknesses Compared.
Mr. Greeley, has his weaknesses
Grant has a weakness lie has a noble
blaek borse that carried him through a
hundred battles. lie goes to the stable
and pats bis horse, and then they say he
is a borse man, aud be pats the dog
that faithfully watcbrs bis door and they
say be is a dog man. But what would
yon say if General Grant would go into
a tanyard and get off bis borse ad go
to a tanning vat, and when he was all
ready to scrape a bide have a photo
grapher come there and take a picture of
him T But look in ,he picture papers,
aud you -will see. Mr. Greeley sawing
away on tlte limb of a tree, and in tbe
distance is the photographer taking him.
and then he goes down to the stable to
look after tbe cows, aud is taken again
Now, gentlemen, you tbink that was de
demagoguery. He isn't a farmer. I
only refer to this to show that Mr. Gree
ley has some weaknesses as well as Gen
eral Grant. ,

TREASURER MACgET.
. , , . T A. . .
A Denial ef the Charjres that have been
Hade Concerning his Adajlalstratloa or
ua Treasnry Urparuaeat.
Treasury DfcPARTMKatT, Harris
BCRO, August 5. 1875J.-1 To tlte t.ditor
of the Prei$: Slit : The persistency
with which you reiterate certain charges
affecting my iutegrity in the manage
ment of the State Treasury induces me
to think that you credit your own alle
gations, and to apprehend that you may
induce a portion of tbe public to believe
that these charges are founded on fact
to tbe manifest injury of tbe public
credit
Tbe charges repeateilly made in yor
editorial columns and through your cor
respondents are in substance as follows :
Fir-t That there is4a large amount
of worthless notes and checks in tbe
vaults of tbe -Treasury so large that,
in tbe language of an editorial in the
Prets of the 2d instant, "If the Treasury
were to be transferred to-day iuto hinest
hands, it would be impossible for the
Ring, even with all their wealth and re
sources, to make good all tbe worthless
paper now in the vaults.''
S'COH'l That the securities in the
sinking fund are used for the purpose of
speculation.
Ti'inl That the mouey of the State
is used by Simon Cameron and bis sou,
J D. Cauierou for their own private
purposes, or deposited iu banks under
their control, where it cau be ma le avail
able for their use, aud that their names
appear on the bond given by me to the
State for tho faithful performance of my
trust.
To all these charges I wish to enter
an emphatic denial, and my object in
adilicseing you this note is to invite you
and any enmpeteut and respectable
bankers or business men you may select
to make an examination of the condition
of the Treasury.
To your first specific charge I answer,
that ith not true that there is any worth
less paper iu tbe vaults of the Treasury.
To your second charge, that of specu
lating iu tbe securities belonging to the
sinking fuud. I answer, that tho securi
ties were given by the purchasers of the
public works; that they are now and
always have been in the vaults of the
Treasury ; that they are not of a nego
tiable character, add could not be hypo
thecated for one dollar, even had I been
disposed to convert them to the improp
e.r use you allege.
To tbe third charge that the Camer
ons are using the public money imme
diately or through their bauks, and that
they are on my bond I answer that
neither General Cam'cron nor bis eon
have at any time during my administra
tion bortowed a single dollar of the State
money, nor have, they in any-instance
attempted to control its disposition ; and
the only bank having a deposit of the
public mouey iu which they are stock
holders is the First National Bank of
Harrisburg. The amouut oil deposit iu
this bank is comparatively small, and
and less than it was under some of my
predecessors Neither General Cameron
nor bis son are now or ever have been,
upon the bond given by me to the State.,
which fact you can easily verify by ap
plication at the Slate Department, where
my bond is on file.
l!y an act passed ia 1S70 I am re
quired to make monthly reports to the
Auditor Gercral, under oath, showing
the several banks and 1 ankers with
which the public moneys are deposited
and the amount with each. These re
ports are open for 'our inspection, to
gether, with the repoats of the banks, in
verification of my statements-
Now, sir, I have entered a specific
denial of your allegations affecting my
iutegriiy and the public credit.
The vaults of tbe Treasury are open
to your inspection, aud I invite you to
mr.ke ir iod your charges.
Respectfully yours,
R. W. Mackev.
Gen. McCook, commiuding officer of
the Uio Grand, writes to the departments
at Washington of the depredations ou
the Texas border thus :
There is iu existence, on the frontier,
a system of cattle stealing, which if per
sisted in, will be disastrous to the stock-
raising intetests of Texas, and may leak
to a predatory war on either side of the
river, eventually producing a conflict be
tween the two nations. Armed parties
cross from Mexico to Texas to steal cat
tle. From the scarcity of troops on this
line, and the nature of the country bor
dering ou the river, it is almost impos
sible to capture these bands unless caught
in tbe act of crossinjr.
It will not requre many such affairs to
open the conflict, and it is my opinion
that, unless co-operation by the Mexican
authorities be extended to us in breaking
up these bands of marauders, there will
be serious trouble in less than three
months hence. Since tbe arrival of
General Cortina and his troops upon tbe
frontier the marauding has increased ten
fold.
Professor Glass and the Todd explor
atiou party have arrived at Los Angel os,
Cal , from a geological expedition through
Arizona and Mew Mexico. They have
brought speciment of gol I and silver ore,
and ' several pints" of the precious and
doubtful,, stones collected in the .Ant
Hills, on the Arizona border. The
stones are said to include genuine ru
bies, and some stones supposed to be di
amonds of small value They also claim
to have discovered flowing oil springs
which will yield from 70 to 100 barrels
daily. They found tools, pottery and
woven cloth in the mounds and mines of
ancient cities. In crossing the Colorado'
desert the party came near perishing.
I Harder ia Fajette Cajjaiyr:
A terrible - tragedy was enacted on
f . - -- .
ueaver freest, nenry v,iy towueuip
Fayette county, oo last Friday evening.
It seems from the evidence before the
coroner's jury, that on that day Alphens
Glover and his two sons were engaged in
banlingin and stooking wheat, and that
at five in the evening Mr. Glover, accom
panied by his daughter, went to a place
called the "Judy Cabin." to bring home
tbe cows, and that they fonud, some hog-tin
their fields, and set tbe dogs after
them and drove them bat. As they
were returning with the cows, they met
Mr, Jacob Stanp and his son Henry.
Staup asked lover - why he dogged his
bogs, when glover ; replied because they
were eating his grain. ' Staup called GIo
ver a liar, and at tbe same time pointed
a revtdyer at him. Glover's dangbter
stepped between them, but Stanp ordered
her away, and then fired tbe pistol, and
shot Glover through tbe breast, killiug
him instantly. Stoup and bis son then
walked off to the house, and when the
officers weut to the house to arrest him,
they found him in bed, pretending to be
very sick, and very much biuised and
hurt, which he alleges was caused by a
beat'ng which G' vor had given him
with a club. The otlicera arrested him
and bis son, and they were committed to
jail on Saturday morning. Glover leaves
a wife and a large number of children to
mourn bis untimely death. His remains
were iuterred on Sunday at the family
bury iug ground, la sbort distance from
his residence. ' -'nJuest was held on
the same &m , -J a post mortem exam
ination made If Dr.' R. M. Hill, which
attracted a large nntnber of people from
the surrounding country.' Between the
late residence of the deceased and the
graveyard there was a perfect throng of
people, of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Tbe Coroner's jury found that Alpheus
Glover died on the "26(b day of July,
1832 and that his death was caused by
a wound made by a bullet tired from a
pistol in the hands of Jacob Staup.
Stanp is iujiil. awaiting further action
in the case Vitls'ivrg Gae'tt.
AS IMIHlHTAVr" VISITOR.
The XiUda Jy
The San Francisco JaU of inly 31st
says : ' The somewhat remarkable rfcvir
which bas been afloat .for some time,-4
the effect that the Mikado or Emperor
Japan intends V'situi? .urope ami tlie
United States, is confirmed in the news
received at this port by the arrival of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company's steam
er Colorado. Tbe Mikado first contem
plates an extended journey through bis
own domains, the route of which is pub
lish! d in n Japanese paper so that it will
probably be some time before he is able
to carry out bis design of foreigu travel.
He will first visit,France presumably
by the t-uez route thence oilier portions
of Europe ; and crossing tbe Atlautic, pay
bis respects to ihe people ou the Atlantic
slope ; after which we may expect him
at San Fr.-tucisco, from which point he
willembaik on his return homo. This
visit is suggested to the Mikado by the
evidences be has bad of late years of the
superior' civilization of - tbe occidental
portion of tbe world, and tbe extremely
cordial reception with which bis embassy i
has everywhere been met. The glowing
accounts they write' him of the tin-thought-ef
wonders to be Been abroad,
have doubtless filled bis youthful mind
with a desire to look abroad himself into
the great world, from which be may de
rive valuable lessons of instruction. Ja
pan, now so eager iu tbe race of progress,
would profit greatly hereafter by the
Kmperor's experience thus obtained ; and
if be proves himself a wise filler to have
adopted so sensible a conclusion. His
reception, beyond a question, will be
everywhere cordial and in keeping with
the dignity he represent.'
A Man Buried by Lightning but not Killed.
The Jonesboro (Kast Teiincssee) Flag
is responsible for the following extraor
dinary statement : '
Mr. John Mullens, who reside on
Newman's Ridge, in Hancock county.
Tenn., while engaged in working in bis
field wilh bis sons, there came up, sud
denly, a violent thunder storm so sud
den that a portion of these working in
the field bad not time to reach a shelter
from tbe storm. Mr. Mullens beiug some
distance from tbe others, was stiuck by
a lightning bolt, and literally driven into
the soft earth of the field. His sons, not
far distant, seeing the catastrophe, rush
ed to their father, aud fonnd him covered
with dirt. They dragged him forth, and
one exclaimed, "Oh ! be is dead !" Im
mediately tbe old gentleman, who was a
man of large frame and powerful consti
tution, raised himself, shook the dirt
from bis locks, and replied to his son,
"NoI'm not dead !"'
He was carried to his residence, and
the proper medical aid rendered, and
soon recovered from the severe shock', a
remarkable monument- of escape from
instant death. His clothing was rent
into shreds and swept from bis entire
body, while bis shoes were literally torn
to fragments. Two or three red streaks
on -bis body were all the signs that were
visible of the terrible element that pros
trated him. lie was, of course, knocked
seuseles?, and remained si until his eons
released him from bis untimely grave.
