Our neighbor of the Democrat devoted a
column of his paper last week to a notice of
us nr.d the truths we uttered the week bc
f it; in reference to the troubles in the South
iTii Urates lately in rebellion. It is evident
from the ground he take.s lliat while he vas
in Europe for the purpose of avoiding the
draft or ming himself with theoloeae lore, we
d hot, know whkh, nor does it make any
difference, the friends he left behind hiui
failed to keep hiui adi.-eu of what was pass
ing in this coot. try. It is further evident
that since hh- return homo he has not cared
to so pe-.t himself on the matters which tran
sjelred during his ab.ser.ee as to enable hiui to
sq-.eak without fiction, to use a mild term,
concerning them. We do not, therefore, feel
like holding him to a strict accountability for
all he utters in the article under considera
tion even though we kfcow he dealt in what
he de.-ired to be facts rather than in what he
h new Lo be true. Though he started out with
the expressed intention to show that what
we .aid about the South was false, we are
ati.-.led, as must be every one who read his
article, that instead of proving that what We
said was untrue, he has only worked himself
into the folly of displaying a lamentable
amount of ignorance.
With the second and third paragraphs of
hi-! a; tide we have no disposition to cavil.
They are mere suppositions founded on un
meaning if 's and and's. And yet the South
did not surrender, because of conversion from
the error of their ways, and with humble cou
trifiou step into the paths which lead to
o'r.eui -nee to the laws, and to an earnest do
si.v t.j .set about, honestly, to repair the evii
whirh they had inflicted upon the country.
Theirs was the mere cry f.r relief without re
)c! stance, and a giving up of the conflict only
to dissolve the Union, in stuboruness, they had
honestly accepted the situation and submitted
like men to their fate and to the results of
the war they had forced upon the country,
in the plenitude of it's mercy the Govern
ment would have permitted the leaders of
the rebellion to become again leaders in shap
ing the march of the States from the chaos
which their wickedness had brought about,
to that prosperity and peace which it is the
wish of every true lover of his country that
all should enjoy. Rut the end of the war
and the proclamation of peace found them
unreconstructed rebels still, and while they
continued pandeilng to their spirit of rebel
lion the North spued out its hords of vam
pires who, making use of their opportunity,
inflicted the evils under which the South
now groans. Can this state of the case be
truthfully gainsaid? Assuredly not for it
has become history. With what face then
can the troubles of the South be laid to any
other cause than the war, and to the acts oi
those Democratic leaders, now so lauded, and
who were leaders of the cohorts of rebellion.
There never was an effort made to interfere
with their influence over the freed men or
their rights to vote. Nor was an attempt
made to pass a single reconstruction act, un
til it was seen that unless this was done the
grandest of all the results of the war, the
striking of the shackles from the limbs
of the slave, would prove a nullity.
The old masters by their deeds proved that
they could not. forget the relation of master
and slave, and their cruel conduct towards
the latter convinced the government that it
was its duty to leach thcui the lesson.
What our neighbor snys further in this re
lation, with the light of this statement of
facts before us becomes Lo?h and nonsence.
In the reconstruction and read minion of the
rebellious states, the government could only
treat with those whom it found in authority.
The leading rebels refused to assume author
ity, and the reigns of power were left to float
into ike hands of whom could be found to
hold them. The "submission of the South"
of which our neighbor speaks has hardly yet
began, and in the interim, from the proclaim
ing of peace to this day, those who should
have submitted nine years ago and taken the
control of a Hairs into their own hands have
suffered strangers to the manor to hold their
places, to exercicc their inrluenco, to superin
duce poverty by means of inordinate taxa
tion, a-e, and to rob them. They once held
the preventative for all this evil in their own

la their hearts they entertained
bitterness which led to rebellion, and
to this day the leaders, who from the nucleus
of Democracy South, have greater love for
'"the lost eau.se" than for the Union which
flourishes so marvellously upon its ruin. It
is to this very spirit, yet possessed and so
sedulously nurtured, and pampered toby the
Northern Democracy, more than to any other
cause that the South is indebted for ail the
troubles with which it is now so grievously
afflicted.
Iu the third paragraph our neighbor says,
i 'In-tead of keeping up the w;nr, they sub
mitted patiently and sincerely to the govern
ment against which they had revolted." How
is the truth in relation to this assertion?
Their very first act of submission, and pa
tience and sincerity, was the brutal assassina
tion of President L'meoln, a friend who .had
their true interests at heart, by the very
founder &f Southern Ku-Klu&isiu, J. Wilkes
Booth. It is yet a reproach against the
Southern leaders that no tangible disavowal
and condemnation of this damnable act has
ever yet received from them official publicity.
Again they exhibited the evidences of their
submissive patience and sincerity by forming
emigrant societies and making other prepara
tions to abandon their miserable dupes of fol
lowers and the government which they failed
to destroy, and take up their abodes ia
Mexico and other countries South. They
knew their just deserts, and feared the halter
and the hangmans work would he meeteJ
out to them as their well deserved reward for
their treachery. Knowing their own hearts,
and wickedness of their acts, they could not
bring themselves to believe that the govern
incut was earnest ia its expressed desire that
they should remain and assist in building up
again what they had so wickedly labored to
jiull down. The emigration scheme was put
iu force by the few, but the many remained
only to nurse their sorrows over their failure
and to mourn the fate of their lost cause, in
the laud of their birth. The few who did go
soon discovered their error and speedily re
turned to join their mourning brethren.
Again they exhibited the evidence of their
submission, patience and sincerity by refus
ing to c-xerei.Mj the right of suffrage and to
hold uSice, thus virtually inviting into their
midst the very carpet-baggers, scailawags
and plunderers of whom they now so bitterly
complain. We admit that the South has
been heavily and grievously robbed by these
plunderers, but we submit that the blame for
it all lies solely and wholly with themselves.
If iustead of sitting sulkily by and nursing
their di.-appointment, caused by their failure
revolution a mean for wiping them out. An
lioncrt tubmi.len to law, and a determina
tion to apply the remc ly under the law, is
what alone can start the bail which must be
kept rolling on and rolling on until the last
ve-tage of corruption is crushed out cf their
high places. The Government cannot inter
fere save to secure a republican form of
government and to secure obedience to law.
Let the oppressed people of the South act
within the law, and Work and vote for the
suppression of the evils which cuis-e them,
and none will be more rejoiced than the offi
cers cf thi government, over their redemption
from their present imouitous thralJom.
We have done with our neighbor and his
''brief history of reconstruction." As an
exercise of the imagination his account of
the causes of the troubles of our Southern
brethren may be called a success, but as a
setting forth oi historical facts i a relation
thereto, we regret to be compelled to say
that it lamentably lacks the ail-important
elements of truth. We cannot, however, for
bear congratulating him over his grand ef
fort. It was masterly in its way though the
wav wa-; a poor one.
Our neighbor of the L'aiocrat was
so tickled at the reception of a visit from an
unmistakable Democrat of the finest water
last week, that he could not contain himself,
but had to make his joy known through the
columns of his paper. This perfect prototype
of Democratic intelligence had once, some
eight years ago, got hold of a stray copy of
the JrJjF., from which he had learned divers
things then existing and transpiring, but
since then had lived in total ignorance of all
that was goiug on out side of his own dung
hill. Doubtless the old fellow, impressed
with the usual Democratic belief that there
was no truth in anything but the fictitious
periods of Democracy, has hardly yet made
up his mind that he is not annually casting
his ballots for Jackson for President. We
are pleased to learn, however, that there is
hope for his future. He has now subscribed
for the Monroe Democrat, and if he docs
not improve in knowledge of every day oc
currences with that bright light before him,
we suppose he will have to be given up as a
gone dog. The ease would be lameutable
were it not for the fact that it is not required
to knovr much to be a good Democrat in fol
lowing of our brilliant neighbor.

The Hon. Andrew Storm, of Northamp

All were pleased to take him heartily by the
hand, and to see the very slight change which
time has made in him. Judge Storm, to
our eye, looks as well and as young as he did
ten years ago, and we were glad to see this
indication that many years were to be added
to his honorable life. The Judge spent two
days with his friends iu town, during which
he visited the Court which was in session,
and, ou invitation of President Dreher occu
pied a seat cn the Bench his seat of the
years "Jang syne." While he was occupying
that position many "pleasant reminiscences
of old times floated through our memory,
and we could hardly make ourself believe
that nearly a fifth of a century had passed
since he left the Bench. May the Judge live
long in the land, and may his future visits
not prove so few and far between.

On Saturday nitrht last the Store of
George B. Duke, at Kcllersviile, was,
broken into and robbed of goods amounting
to, as near as can be ascertained, about six
hundred dollars. The entrance to the
store was effected through the 2nd story
window by means of a ladder, which the
thieves found near the store. The thieves
first attempted to effect an entrance through
a back door by boring, but were baffled in
their efforts here, the auger striking a bolt,
when they abandoned this way of entrance
and used the ladder as above described.
Mr. Duke did not discover the robbery
until Sunday morning about 10 o'clock,
when lie casually entered the store for
some trifling thing.
On a hill near by, the scoundrels, it ap-

We presume that all our readers will be
interested in hearing that a permanent or
ganization of the Young Men's Christian
Association has been formed in Strouds
burg, and that a reading room connected
with the same, will soon be thrown open
to the public.
The organization was completed on the
IStli, of Sept. by the election of President,
Secretary, Treasurer and a board of Mana
gers. These officials have since that time
been busily cntracred in securing rooms for
the Association to meet, in purchasing
furniture, and making the necessary ar-
rancements jbr commencing operation at
once. They have rented the upper story of
James Fdimrer's new building, have pur
chased a carpet, table, lamps, chairs &c, and
design holding a treneral meeting of the
Association in their rooms on Friday even
ing of this week, the 9th, inst
All members of the Association are
earnestly requested to be in attendance,
and also all those who propose joining, are
invited to be present at this first general
meeting of the Association.
The board of managers are happy to an
nounce that they have found such a liberal
feeling prevailing the public on this sub
ject, that the amount of money necessary
to accomplish what ha- been done, has
already been paid into the l.uds of the
Treasurer, and that there is still enough
more subscribed to pay for six mouths' rent
of the building.
Under this favorable condition of things
there can be no doubt, as to the future suc
cess of the undertaking in a financial point
of view.
That a reading room has been much
needed in our town, all will be ready to ad
mit. Now that the want is about to be
supplied we trust that every one will lend
a helping hand in word and deed to en
courage the enterprise and make it a sue
cess, iu every way.
The regular monthly meeting of the As
sociation will be held on the third Friday
of each month, which will come on the
10th. of the present month..

of, the first visitor who elid not think the
exhibition really splendid to use the
popular mode of expression.
Not the leat-'t interesting of the curiosities
present were our veteran representatives
of Monroe County longevity, Mr. George
Labar, and hh equally interesting daugh
ter. Duly anth
show that Mr. Labar has reached the ripe
old age of 112 years, and is. undoubtedly
the oldest man in the State and Tnion,
the centenarian occupied a largo arm chair
and was clad in a heavy overcoat. A slouch
hat covered his head almost to his eyes.
Ho seemed indifferent to the curiosity of
the hundreds who stood and surveyed him
from head to foot. When addressed and
saluted he would return the compliment
but without exhibiting much animation.
His appearance indicated that he is about
eighty years old. During a portion of the
time lie was at the fair he smoked an old
clay pipe. In removing the tobacco from
his pocket his hands showed remarkable
steadiness. By the centenarian's side
were a number of large apples, grown ou a
tree which he planteel when he turned his
one hundredth year. A contribution box
also occupied a position near him. In it a
considerable amount of money was deposited
during the day f.-r the support of the aged
man in his declining years. A well execu
ted photograph of Mr. Labar also sold well.
A sprightly daughter cf the centenarian ac
companied him. She is just seventy-three
and has a family of three sons and three'
daughters, some of whom are old enough to
be grand parents. ller old.-t brother is
eighty-eight years of age. Whoa Mr. La
bar was thirteen he says he held General
Washington's horse. He relates many
thrilling incidents of the revolution.
The police arrangements on tho grounds
were first class, but in a crowd of -1''K:0.
the number estimated as being present on
Thursday, it could not be expected that
even policemen could secure perfect order
and comfort for all present. A marked
feature of the fair was the absence of ali
gambling appliances and gamblers from the
grounds. The jurisdiction of the society
did not, however, extend out side of the
enclosure,, and here and throughout the
town wheels of fortune, swet-clotlis, thimble
riggers, pick-pockets and confidence men in
great superabundance plied their nefarious
trades. There is hardly a section of coun
try within a hundred miles of tho fair
grounds but what sends forth its wail over
pecket-books and other valuables appropria
ted by these despicable vampires. Fortius
phase in the fairs surroundings v;e do not
for a moment preteuted to held the State
Agricultural Society accountable. On the
contrary we contend, with every show of
justice, that the moral responsibility for all
losses and crimes of tins character rests with
the authorities of E aston, who, having in
vited Uie holding of the fair at that place,
and being well aware of its evil following,
should have provided a sufficient skilled
police force to have protected the thous
ands who gave their time and means for
the success of the fair, and added thous
ands to the coffers of Easton landlords and
merchants. Easton had experience with
State 'fairs, and the borough authorities
should have shown a commendable pride
for its own good name by having the place
so guarded by experienced policemen that
every professional chr valit r could have been
pointed out on his entrance into the town,
and thus the public warned to take care of
itself.
We hope the next State Fair will bo as
successful in the protection afforded its visi
tors as it is sure to be as the exponent vi'
me mecnameai and agricultural skill of the
people of the State.
