Who comes next.
jjr We last week received the initial
number of the "Wayne County Citizen,
published at Honesdale, Pa. The "Citi
zen" is a large thirty-two column paper,
is neatly printed and ably edited, aud will
doubtless prove an organ of which the
llcpublicans of Wayne, may well feel
proud. It takes the place of the "Kepub
lie", always a good and reliable paper.
E. A.Penuiman, publisher; J. C. Hells,

and may a full measure of political and
pecuniary prosperity fall to its chare.

Shooting Affray.
We learn with regret that Mr. John
Ilufford, residing in Coolbaugh township
in this county, was shot by Wm. War
ner, a resident of the same township,
about three weeks ago. The trouble, it
is said, grew out of a horse trade betweeu
Ilufford and another party, with which
Warner interfered, and the shooting was
most deliberately done with a double
barrel shot run, the contents of one of
the barrels of which entered Ilufford's
leers and arms, inflicting severe but not
fatal injury. Warner is still at large
though steps looking towards his arrest
have been taken.
Surgical Operation. Remarkable Power
or Endurance.
On Monday last l)r. A. Reeves Jack
son. assisted ov irs. . 11. A'avis anu
1 l- T IV 3
W. W. Ridlack, performed an operation
for the removal of extensive disease o
bones of the leg, upon Edward Nation, o
Smithfield township. In order to accoin
plish the operation an incision had to be
made nearly the whole length of the leg
and large portions of the bone had to be
removed with the aid of saw and chisel
The time occupied in the operation
which was, of course, skillfully done, aud
promises to be a complete success, was
one hour and a half. The most remarka
blc part of the transaction was the powers
of endurance displayed by the patient, a
young man -of twenty-four years of age,
who sat on the operating-table and calmly
watched all the surgeon's proceedings
without a whimper. He positively de
clined taking chloroform, for the reason
that he " wanted to see how it was done."
Struck by Lightning.
During the thunder storm which pre
vailed in this neighborhood, on Friday
afternoon last, and which, by the way,
was one of the most terrific storms that
has visited this neighborhood in several
years, the double house, on Monroe Ave
nue, occupied by John McCarty and
Jacob Ilarman, was struck by lightning.
The course of the fluid was marked by a
slight shattering of the walls and timber.
Luckily no other damage was done.
At the time of the stroke Mrs. McCarty
and daughter were in the sitting-room of
their side of the house, but escaped with
out iujury, Mrs. McC. alone experiencing
a sliirht shock about the head. The heft
of the shock appeared to be on Mr. liar
man's side of the house, and it was provi
dential that the family was away from
home, or serious personal injury, if not
death, might have "been the result. A
gate post belonging to Mr. Singmaster,
near the residence of Reuben R. Cress,
was struck and shattered to pieces durin
the same storm.
Grant and Colfax Clubs.
The Secretary of the Michigan Repub
lican State Central Committee reports
thirty-three Grant and Colfax clubs al
ready organized in that State, n hat are
wc doing iu Pennsylvania in this direc
tion? What in Monroe County? Here
we have not a single club started, nor do
we hear of any move Leing made to
establish one. Is it not time that some
thing be done? Or is it best think you,
Republicans, to put the matter off to the
last moment. We should remember that
Democracy and Conservatism are bound
to win next fall, if possible. They can
Lnot do it if we are true to ourselves if
we orgahize early, and set about the work
systematically. JJut if we rest on our
oars quietly, and look for others to work
while wc are coolly, idly, and pleasantly
enjoying ourselves, we will be very apt
to wake up on some fine bracing morning
in October, and possibly November, aud
find ourselves a badly whipped party. If
this happens the fault will be our own,
and we will have no one to blame for it but
ourselves. If, however, we begin aright,
and work faithfully, wc cannot only carry
the State of Pennsylvania by a larger ma
jority than we ever did before, but we can
perform a wonder here in Monroe County,
which will make even Democrats stare.
There .arc many in this county, always
staunch Democrats, who want to vote for
Grant and Colfax, and who will do it, iu
spite' of the efforts of their file-leaders, if
the way to step out of the ranks of the
old party is made plain to them.
Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and
other States of the South, arc harvesting
their wheat of good quiliry aud palisfac
tory iu quantify.
Fourth of July.
We are promised something, on the ever
elorious 4th, worthy of the times, and credi
table to oar, patriutibm, commemorative of
" the day wc celebrate," and wc are glad of
it. We arc glad, more particularly, because
we never like to see that day passed as an
ordinary day is passed, in pandering to the
sordid greed of business. We can conceive
ot no day which should more ccitainly secure
he reverence of Americans. Sunday is the
day for rest and for religious observances
and stand, as it should, at the head of dajs
on that account The 4th of July is a day
for thanksgiving, for civic display, and for
general rejoicing, and dcservcJly ranks a
head of all others in these respects. And
we arc going to observe it, and we want ev
ery body to observe it with us, in the spirit
of religion, of patriotism and of fun.
First ! We are to have the corner-stone
laying of the new Lutheran Church, with
eloquent divines to offer prayer of thankful
ness for the return of our natal day to a pre
served Union, and toTtalk to us of God's bles
scd promises, and the necessity ot man 6
faithful performance of duty, in orJer tse
cure their fulfilment ; exercises of great and
lasting "interest to all.
Second: We are to have a Grand Fire
man's Parade, with the Phoenix and Union
boys in line, with Engines newly painted
and elegantly decorated, aad with new uni
forms gotten up in the newest and prettiet
6tyles. These will certainly be in line
and we expect to have the "Nay Aug's" c
Scranton, with their splendid new steamer
and we arc going to have music, and banners
with devices calculated to add fervor to pa
triotUm, and lustre to th moot brilliant pa
geant ever gotten up in Stroudsburg.
Third: We are to have a Grand our in
forma nt dij not tell us what. We guessed
it, but it is a grand secret, reader, and w
dare not let it out. But such fun as wi
come in when the time for the thirdly a rives.
was never before conjured up by the inven
ti ve jrcnious of man. Innocent fun not the
bloodjr-nose kind but such fun ! Come on
and all, therefore, from far and near, and joi
with us of Stroudsburg, in doing the duty of
patriots on ur glorious natal day.

The Jersey City Kcenlnn Journals few
days since contained a better from Rev.
Peeke, Pastor of the First Reformed
Church in that city, in which, after pay
ing an eloquent tribute to the public life
and services of 31 r. Colfax, he says :
Rut the most vital point to honest men
is the integrity of Schuyler Colfax. When
appointed to the charge of the mission
church of South Rend, I found Mr. Col
fax its faithful Deacon. He not only gave
largely in charity to the poor, but wisely
miuistered that charity under his own
observation. On one occasion, one of his
last acts before leaving South Rend for
Washington, was to have a cooking-stove
taken upon a wheelbarrow and given to a
poor widow. During the two years of
my mission labor he was my faithful
friend, a very liberal supporter of the
Gospel, a regular communicant, a consist
ant Christian, &nd when in town
always strict in his attendance upon all
the worship and .ordinances of God's
house. With such heavenly companion
ship as God gave him in the person of
the late .Mrs. Colfax, a saint, who breath
ed the very atmosphere of the "celestial
city," he could not well resist the attrac
tion heavenward, and if ever a soul can be
kept by the hallowed memories of loved
ones departed, Speaker Colfax must con
tinue to be what I believe he is an hon
est man, a pure patriot, a sincere Chris
tian. The highest testimony of our own
regard for him and his is, that my two child
ren whom it pleased God to bereave us of
bear the names respectively of Mr. and
Mrs. Colfax their memory the dearer as
associated with the friends wc love.
Andrew Johnson,
as was expected would be the case on
Saturday returned the Arkansas bill to
Congress, with his usual stereotyped rea
sons for not approving the measure? pass
ed by our National Legislature for the re
construction of the Southern States. The
President write in very much the same
vein and ftyle of his former messages,
and those who have waded through his
prating about the Constitution,-the ne
groes, &.C, &c. as chronicled in a dozen
vetoes, need uot trouble themselves to
read this mass of stuff. It is really a
farce for Congress to send Mr. Johnson
anymore bits, . since he doubtless com
mences preparing vetoes so soon as he
hears of their introduction in the legisla
tive halls.
Longstreet, the ablest genefal of the
late Confederacy, is open and out-spoken
for Grant and Colfax. Dr. Rlaekbum,
the small pox and yellow fever importer,
i? a Dcuocrat- '
TukHk has been considerable " backing
nd filling" among the Democracy during
the past week in regard to the Chase
movement, which looks ns though this
articular Salmon was hatched from too
bad an egg to suit the party. U hat then
ooked as a fixed thing, begins to look
now as though piscaculture would not be
an experiment of the party this fall. Rut
there is no telling yet what may come of
it. It is certain that the retrograde is
not intended to operate against his prin
ciples if it docs militate against the
chances of Mr. Chase personally; and it
is barely possible that the origin of the
Chase movement was but the hope that
it might serve as a stepping stone, to ena
ble the Democracy to reach a position in
the affections of negrodom for service in
the campaigns of this fall.
The New-York " World," we believe
was the original mover Chasewards; and
it backed the movement with arguments
so impregnable, that a, little more per
sistencc would have had Chase and He
mocracy Abolitionism and its uncom
nromifcincr ormoncnt mounted in the
r " i
same saddle for the Presidential race
The followers of the " World " took the
matter so much in earnest, that it was an
easy matter to tell who read and sub
scribed to the doctrines of that delectable
organ of Democracy, pure and simple, by
the vehemences with which every Demo-f
crat you met denounced or advocated the
nomination of Salmon. The "World,"
however, appears to have been only in
fun in the matter. It thought it had
discovered a chestnut in the fire and it
only used Salmon's paws to stir the chest
nut out; at least so it says, in substance,
if not in language. We think, however,
the " World " is only in fun now, and
that is was terribly in earnest when it
desired Democracy to overslaugh its pa
triots, statesmen and heroes for the pur
pose of claiming the way for one whose
life for a quarter of a century had been a
life of open antagonism to the men and
measures of the Democratic party.
The course of the " World," since its
veering around again as regards the man,
has not been consistently sustained by a
corresponding veering around as regards
his principles. Tho fact is that the
" World," with it3 political roguishness
laid to one side, would be a sensible
sheet. Its editors are not fools, and they
see as plain as day, that the party which
ignores the negroelemcnt, in the present
struggle, is the party sure to go under,
and to stay under for a very long time iu
the great, progressive future. The
" World," therefore, felt Salmon, and,
through him, the pulse of Conservatism,
only that it might learn whether any
thing could really he made by a union of
forces, to secure the one common object of
present success; and the " World " discov
ercd right speedily that Salmon's strength
and Conservative strength combined wa?
without power to stay the public torrent
which is rushing like the maddened wa
ters towards the election of Grant and
Colfax. Even though added to Democ
racy it was too week for the labor requir
cd. The " World," therefore, drops
Salmon and drops Conservatism as a pre
sent clement, and takes up the negro un
trammeled by either; not with a hope of
success at this time, but with a hope for
success in the future. It don't pretend
that negro suffrage is right, just now;
that would have been too powerful a
dose at first; bat it asseverates that ne
gro suffrage is a thing so fixed that the
labors of a decade, however herculean,
cannot wipe it out. And it argues by
inference, that all the gain which could
have been made by taking Salmon and
the negro, with half the spoils of offices,
can, in another campaign, if not in this,
be made just as easily by swallowing the
negro alone, with all the spoils.
It was a fast and foose game the World
was playing with Salmon and Conscrva
fives, aud with its own readers also; but
it has quit playing now, and has become
as fast anchored to the men of its own
kidney as it was before the game began.
Rut it don't yield the "nigger," and if
we may judge from the following ex
tract, taken from its columns, it don't
intend to very soon:
"There w every reason to expect that the
Southern ncgroc w ill vote in the next Presi
dential election; and if wc )crmit all these
htatefl to be carried by the Itcpul I leans,
iiuiy ad well hanij up our harps on the willow.
It coiiecnw iw to gain a portion of the negro
vote.
Those organs of Democracy which float
as lesser stars around the great " World.''
will please make a note of this extract, as
well of that other stubborn fact, that tho'
the " World" has abandoned the Chase
movement, it is still a fondly hugged
theme of many of its political coteropora
rics, both North and South. From the
general prospect, we judge that the 4th
of July Convention, in New York, will
have a heavy time of it in settling the
difference between its aspirants, and it
may yet become the easiest possible thing
for the Conservatives to &tep iu and carry
off the honors. Tho South demands it,
and the Democrats will probably have to
concede it.

Of eighteen Generals and Colonels who

"The Washington Chronicle" says:
"The Chairman ot the Democratic State
Central Committee informed a friend in
Pittsburg,-a few evenings ago, that it
would be a hard job to carry Pennsylva
nia against Graut and Colfax; and to
prove it he demonstrated that last Fall
the Democratic Judge was elected by less
than 1,000, with the Democrats polling
94 per cent of their whole vote, and the
Republicans 75 per cent less of theirs."
.
Throughout the West there is great
indignation among the Democracy at the
Democracy at the efforts making iu the
East to secure for Mr. Chase the nomina
tion for President at the New York Con
vention. They denounces the movemeut
io the strongest and bitterest terms, and
exhibit more of a desire to adhere to the
principles of the party than a readiness to
abandon them, for a faint propect at the
"loaves and fishes" under tbe administra
tion of a man who has been their lifelong
antagonist. As the Dubuque Herald
says, "The Democracy of the West are
uot yet quite ready to take up with the
cast off clothes of the Radicals." Truly,
the trouble in the camp of the unterriSed
begins to assume au alarmiog aspect.
Gen. McClellaD, it is announced on the
strength of a private Letter, will return
from Europe iu August, and will not be
a candidate for President this time. He
prefers Gen. Hancock, but will support
the nominee of Tammany Hall. One ac
count says he will take the stump for the
Tammauy ticket, but wc think that must
be an error. He takes the back track
when he takes any thing.
