rooming me t:eral pi isoners to he death of
nunger. - And lor this Jefferson Davis is
more responsible than all ibe rest. It was
by his authority and order that thousands of

From this argument of the Republican we
deduce an idea tin regard to the murder of
fiarriotic citizen -of tbe North w ho were
guiltless of nny crime, by "be torture of -coo
tfinement in damp and loatbesome cells.
AnJ (or tbia Abfabam Lincoln's guilt is
to ore certain than all the rest. 4ll was by
his aoihority and ' order" that the battiles
were put in use; be iw rbe health and
strength of old and young men fail, and tbe
body left lifeless, through torture in the most
inhuman way, faTao other -cause than being
dissatisfied. wirh n administration that was
eapping be life blood of the nation. The
raveof these men "will -cry to heaven,"
itnihe day ot judgment, against Abraham
Lirco'la "the perpetrator of this fearful
homicide." "On htm rests a guilt of a bru
tality for which the records of history far
nish no parallel."
-We see it announced that Gen HowS.'d
is about to open an office in Washington in
tv interest of the freedmen. All who de

idea, and strong evidence that the negro is
not competent to tsfce care of himself bat
must have gardian. How much better

to find nothing for them to do. Can so
much be done for the white tollien f It will
be some time before they all find employ
ment. We think we hear an exclamation
like this come from among the number :
.'It is a great pity we were not all born
.blark."
' Th' Abolition newspaper editors told
; ihe'rr readers that tbe war should not cease
cntil the negro was eet free; now they say
that tbe right of suffrage shall be extended
lo the blacks, both North and South ; and in
the same breath tell yon (soldiers) that the
war was not for Ik . rgro. Let that be as i
may, the war has been a corse to tbe whole
country, and the vhite man in particular.
Sam-e have grown rich oat of the rains of
the war whifo others have been redaced to
beggary. Whito secession was grappling
at tbe throat of the Government, Shoddy had
his hands into ber pockets robbing them ot
all their contents, and the remit is, agna
tions! debt is piled npon the country one
aorth larger than that of Great Britain
Yet cflie of these same crack-brained edi
tors te'I their readers that a national debt is
a "national Mesing." A grand and mag
nificent idea. , Oa the other hand we may
infer that small debts (individual, if yon
jxlease) are small (individual) Jthleings."

. From the establishment of 'the govern-
ment of tbe, United State, to the advent of
Lincoln's administration, our laws were ex
ecuted in calmness, and all thing received
a faithful and impartial consideration; all
action of the. administrative power was
founded upon jest and. equitable grounds
and no political rancor was allowed to in
terfere with the liberty of the Denote as
a a
guaranteed by the fundamental articles of
the government. Then there was no loud
sf
boasts of "loyalty," and few who now troll
freedom for the negio), tvffiagt I for the negro),
equality (for the negro), were known at that
time. as .patriots and supporters of the gov
ernment. Sot the inauguration of March
4th, 1861, was the inauguration of a new
system of republicanism, a republicanism
peculiar, to tbe ideas of a newly made party
of "Republicans-" This republicanism,
developed by the war has become a Shoddy
Aristocracy. Tbe innumerable opportuni
ties for amassing money having been dia
triboted by favoritism, placed -capital .in ex
ceedingly large -amounts in tbe -bands -of
unprincipled and dishonest mercenaries
who -have tniken .pnn themselvee the rule
of sGovernnaent in the United States, and in
very State of the Union. Tbis Shoddy Ar
isioeracy being seconded and supported by
tbe national administration, and being sup
plied with a large force -of armed soldiery,
in readinesa to id them in perfecting plan
of oppression, have instituted a system of
political policymore arbitrary and more to
be despised than tbe French government.
The French policy is without doubt oppres
sive and arbitrary, yet it is made popular by
the peculiar ingenuity of ihe -ruter, who is
believed to do nothing that would not be
for the good of subjects and the government,
and all is done upon established principles
and privileges. -The policy of Shoddy Ar
istoeraey is fonnd in the peculiar desires
and dishonest parpes of -individuals, incit
ed by the Jove of power and money, de
ire. and purposes not warranted bv the
established principles of our government,
thrust opon the people by surprise, and
maintained only by placing the military
power of Shoddy above tbe civil and su
preme power of. the land. The power of
enforcing plans has made this Aristocracy
the most offensive and contemptible class
af politician oa earth. Nothing is beneath
their -dignity that, lends 4o injure and ob
stroct their -opponents. They believe Abra
ham Lincoln to have been chosen to lead
them as were tbe Israelites lead, and being
themselves followers of ibie divine instru--ment,
they with vehemence set opon all
who do not choose to recognize "God's
(Shoddy's) Instrument." They are the most
miserable beings on esrth when not en
gaped in compelling some one to believe in
tbeir theory, or oViving him to d things
which be believes should net be done
Having seduced ithe clergy by a miscon
ceived philanthropy and the fatness ef gov
ernment patronage, the saints followed after
and imagining themselves heirs apparent to
the .world and i's fatness, sold their birth
right (or political dogmas and became dis
eeminators of heresy While the Southern
people continued the strosgle for indepen
dence, thil ''Jlepoblican" RepuMicanira
violently set cpoo the private rights and
liberty of the opposMori !o fanaticism, vio
latinjf every ar'icle of the Cons itutlort o
accomplish the most wicked designs, and
verifying the saying of Fisber Ames when
lie caMed the "majority a tyrant that knows
no wrong when it tramples on every ac
knowledged right." Now, that the war is
over. Shod Jy Aristocracy finds new themes
to work npon, and tarns to revise the na
tional and elate governments.
The most flagrant instance ofdiresard
of tbe fundamental principles of Republi
can government is found in the new con
stitution of Missouri. It was borne by tbe
instrumentality of frand, practiced apon the
soldiers' vote, having been defeated by the
home vote. Its provisions are tbe most he
retic and oppressive, and warns us that tbe
faction in power consider the minority have
no right but that of submission to misappli
ed power. Declaring first, that ftLL mcn
are endowed by the Creator with certain
inalienable rights among which are life, lib
erty, and tbe enjoyment of the trait ol
their own labor, and tbe pursuit ef happi
ness," it immediately proceeds to take
these rights away from a large class of pa
triotic citizens. It attempts to punish as
crimes acts not committed against its an
thority. It crakes txpottfitcto regulations
in direct opposition to the constitution of
the United States. . It deprives all persons
who are not guilty of the least act of treason,
but who may have at any time by word man
ifested a aesire tor toe success ot ttie re
bellion, from voting, from "holding any of
fice of trust, honor, or profit onder'lhe state,
or under any corporation, municipal or private,
either bow or hereafter existing." It for
bids their acting as teachers in any educa
tional institution, holding property in any
way, or practicing as an attorney or coun
selor al-law,or preaching as a bishop, priest,
deacon, minister, or elder, ot other dergy
men of any religions persuasion. Thus
Missouri is governed by a faction whose
only object is to overthrow tbe old land
marks of government and make slaves of
free white citizens who do not accord in
priuciple with Shoddy Aristocracy.
Another dangerous production of the war
is the national debt cpen which Shoddy is
rvow endeavoring by vague notions to make
permanent this Aristocracy. It is called a
"national blessing" and the Republican
prose now rejoices, over its existence and
declares in words that caanet be misunder
stood, that it hopea to see the national debt
gradually ''create and perpetuate a class
possessing wealth, and fixed social tastes
ami habits, which would jgradnally grow in
influence and size as tbe wealth of the
country increased by gathering to itself tbe
sons of all the new men, and might at last
form in each state a sort oi Aristocracy.'
This is tbe result of "Republican" xRepob
licanism, against which (he great force of
the Democratic pzr.y mast bs centred. It
indicates an intention to permanently es
tablish aShoddy Aristocracy. Shall tbey be

We notice by Jaft week's Republican that
Richard Sules has leaped npon the stage
and taken np his pen in his left hamt in de
fense of those eight loyalists of Benton,
who saw fit some time ago to bring the
writerjof the "spicy rejoinder'.' before the
public. In his whole letter of a half col
umn he proves nothing, but on the other
hand makes some fiat denials of what has
been published in our paper, showing bis
connection with the" "arresting affair," his
cause for entering the army, &c. One point
that seems to have touched bis fine sensi
bilities as much if not more than any other,
is that be should have entered the army
for bis personal safety. This bas been al
leged upon good authority. He, knowing
his situation, anil fully understanding with
what high regard be was held !by his Der
ocratic neighbors whom he was instrumen
tal in having arrested and tried, and learn
ing tnat tney were about lo be released,
no doubt preferred the service than that of
remaining at borne among them, as at first
it -would have been very unpleasant to him,
unlets be was entirely .destitute of -con-ecience
or feeling. He. of -course, Anew
little about soldiering, and like many others
got himself shot. Had he entered the ser
vice earlier, and at a time when there was
less danger, he might have learned as many
of his Republican 'friends did, from this
eoun:y,to take Hospital proteciion.and there
by have saved his limbs. But be didn't do
so. He fought Jike a hero, and we are not
so ungrateful as to deprive bim of any credit
for what he has done, or not to -sincerely"!
sympathize with him on account of hi
losses. But if be entered the service out of
pore patriotism as bia correspondence
would bave ns believe, and not for his
"personal safaty," why did be not get that
patriotism worked op into .fighting heat
some four years ago, when it was ounlry
and noliounty that took men into the army?
That was the time to have gone. It is too

As to your being wailed npon ''by a son
of the very man you was -instrumental in
having arrested," we verily beHeved; and
with all your iwistings, lurnings, and. ad
missions, we are perfectly willing to leave
the matter (at yonr suggestion) with the
young man himself. Without knowing
anything further oa Che subject, we have
sufficient evidence to make out a strong
case, viz: he cooked at the Hospital, gave
yen apples to eat, and occasionally called
to see yen ; all of which yon have admitted.
You should be a little careful in tbe future
for fear )oo might admit the who'e matter,
and that would be more than we really
could expect of yoo. The Doctor examined
yon a little too close that time to be com
fortable, eh ?
Mr. Stiles seems to ca'ch at that "card"
which was published in our paper a few
weeks since, sianed by nearly all of the
Fort Mtf3in subjects, exonerating the edit
ors of this journal, as well as the editor of
the Democrat, from being in any way the
cause of their arrest. He does not see the
name of Jo. Sickle to the "card" ; what of
that? Had be had an opportunity to have
signed it bis same more than likely would
have been attached. Yon do not see the
name of William Roberts attached ! Fur
ther you do not tee the name of Philip A.
Rune attached ! Men whom your party are
guilty of having murdered ; and then turn
round and say, tee are guilty of their arrest
and imprisonment ! Justice is bound to
overtake the men who were instrumental
in bringing opon those people so much
torment, suffering and expense. They de
serve condign punishment, and will surely
receive it.
"It was all right with yon" until yoo
wished to be elected Sheriff upon tbe Re
publican ticket and the Democrats refused
to vote for yoo. We refused to support yon
against the regular Democratic nominee,
whiih yon wished us lo do, and it was then
and for that reason that you refused any
longer to give ns your patronage, ft was
rjjice not country that caused yoo to leave the
Democratic ranks which your future as well
as past course goes to prove. But yon did
not socceed well ; which is rather astonish
ing too. Although, yon bave tbe consola
tion of knowing that, the terrible" mania
for office has killed off many a smart man
before yon.
We fail to see what that "certain indi
vidual living not far from Still Water' has
lo do with our newspaper controversy. You
talk about this gentleman's having offered
yoo "qnite a sum of money" to visit the
soldiers' camp and perform certain things.
Now, the only thing strange that we see
about the transaction is, that you didn't take
the money J Good-bye, Richard, prick your
pen and at as again. Give him room Dr.,
and help him besides.
Martin Scott was a native of Vermont, a
brave man, but self opinionated, and exces
sively ignorant; was killed at the battle of
Chepultepec, then with the rank of Lient.
Colonel. In dogs, guns and horses, he
spent some of his pay; but in a'.l other mat
ters be was penurious in tbe extreme. He
bought bis servant, Jack, of his master in
Missouri by weight; 86 lbs. al S3 per lb. This
fact may astonish tha Saints of the North,
bnt it is nevertheless true as Holy Writ.
Still Another In yesterday's issue we
stated lhat Mr. Jacob Zeigler was supposed
to be the oldest resident of Harrisburg. We
have since been informed that Mrs. Susan
Bayer, now residing in the city has also
passed ber 93d birthday. Mrs. B. is remark
ably smart for an old lady. She gets up and
down stairs alone lo her meals, makes her
own bed, and attends to her room with near
ly the same activity as a young woman.

Bloomsbdro, July 24, 1865. '
. Editors of the Star t At you request I lor
nish yoo with tbe precise language used by
Lewis H. Ma us, on the occasion referred to
in your paper of last week. He approached
a returned soldier who was talking to six or
eight men, and said in a loud voice, How
did you like the rebels down Somh, ere
they as bad as tbe rebels up here? Not as
bad, hat"' The soldier made no reply that
I heard. Tbe words made an impression
en my mind, as he appeared to be deter
mined lhat every body should hear. Per
baps the Insult was intended for me, altho'
I never had the pleasure of an acquaintance
with the gentleman ; but probably might
have had if -I had desired it. Democrat.
A highly respected gentleman, of this
town, bas furnished ts with the above, and
stands ready to give his name whenever it
is deemed necessary. In our article last
week we used the word 'traitor' (as given
us) .instead of 'rebel.' The gentleman who
gave -os the information, gives Mr. Mans, in
the above-card, tbe benefit of the correction.
So far as we are concerned, it makes no
difference whether he used the word rebels
or traitors, as we take a rebel to be a traitor
as well aa a traitor to be a rebel. They are
one and the same no difference so far as
violating (he legal authorities.
For having published what Mr. Maus
himself first made public, we were attacked
in an ungentlemanly and boisterous man
ter, on the street in front of the Post-OrTioe,
where shoddy had congregated in consider
able numbers. We are' not one of those
who are disposed lo quarrel with any man,
neither are we milling to sink to the level
of a street -fighter, or make a brawler of our
self. We were abused, by having epithets
applied to mibat we will not here men
tion, and in a manner becoming our posi
tion as a public journalist, calmly and col
lectively passed it by. We will here state,
in abort, we are not to be intimidated or
frightened into silence; and if men do not
wish to see their names appear in a pablio
journal all they have to do ;s to behave
themselves as good citizens, and we are . the
last person to attack them. Plenty of men
throughout Ihe country bave been taught
that the best way to get along smoothly, is
lo say nothing disrespectful of or reflecting
upen their neighbors, though tbey may differ
in political opinion.
Wj learn from tbe Patriot and Uuion that
the "Yonng Men's Christian Association" of
Harrisburg "have procured fire elegant wal
nnt -chess tables, the squares of which are
in-laid with marble," as part ol tbe furniture
of rheir room. If to these means of grace
they were to add several of the trotting hor
ses, a pistol gallery, a dozen game cocks,
and a good pack of "blood-Jieonds of Zion"
to bunt copperheads, we think they might
count their calling and elect-ion sure. Per
haps an occasional game of "Old Sledge"
might afford rest, recreation and refresh
ment after a vigorous charge en ''Old

,:Beatlt" Intoxication. The most ts
markable case of intoxication we ever beard
of is related by the Troy Times. About a
month ngo an illicit whisky distillery was in
lull blast on Green Island, near Troy. One
night it was a "scill" nighj the man ran
ring the lEacbine bad made eighteen gal
lons of whisky, and set it out in the open
air to cool. Along came a cow. She was
thirsty, and the beverage looked inviting.
She swallowed every drop, eighteen.gallons
of nnreclified whisky, warranted lo kill at
forty rods. The cow has been drunk ever
since. She staggered home, and is now in
the fonrth week of a grand old bender. Tbe
cow eats nothing; tails dowa whenever they
try to raise ber op; and hae become a lean
as a crow, instead of a cow. Whether ihe
cow will ever get sober, or end her lite in a
fit of delirium tremens, is a question thai
we shall look anxiously to see the solution

prize fight look place in Salem township,
on Mondsy, for a parse of $50. Tbe chal

lhat Nndgen, who prides himself npon his
herculean strength, was completely whip

Editor Siar : I resume my pen for a mo
ment, to inform tbe readers of the Str, and
the pnblic in general, ol a few facts in re
gard to the improper treatment ol the boys
in the 74th Regiment, PennaVols.
The Rebellion which has existed for four
long years, and which will stand in history
without a parallel, bas been crushed and the
people throughout the length and breadth of
the land are exclaiming peace, peace and
good will to all men ; and they that bave
acteJ well their part, in the dark days of the
republic, claim an honorable divhargi, and
was it not for the m isrepresentatior.s of this
Regiment to the authorities of Penna, it
would undoubtedly have been mustered out
in proper time, as some of the rest of f enna
Regts were.
And the tyrannical treatment which wb
are receiving is an outragt and a shime; por
tions of this Regiment have passed through
four years hard fighting, and long weary
marches; and have stood op as brave sons
of America for the work which hs been
accomplished ; and yet, in the boor of
peace, we most and are compelled to re
main hera in the sunny South and drill four
hours each day, with kuap sacks slung. No
sane man would attempt lo treat men in a
style like this ; and men who bave famines,
and large crops ont uncarod for, must be
retained here through the influence of a
few Foreigners of the lcnve$t grade. It is
hoped that the anrhoritios will soon inves
tigate this diabolical treatment and send
this regiment lo the proper rendezvous, and
muster tt-out, in order lbatr 6on Ameri
iccna can torn tbeir. backs to those wbo now
possess tbe influence over others- and that
we may scorn them for their -bad treatment,
when hostility has ceased, the roaring can
non 6ilenced, and our Flag triumphantly
floating o'er the land, in alt its brilliancy
and glory, as ever the proud emblem of out
whole country.
Barring discouragements, the boys are
enjoying good health :; but ancioas to get
home, to enjoy ibe liberties ot civil life, and
get out of tbe hands of shoulder straps.

An exchange says a woman was hong on
Boston common about seventy years ago for
the crime of snatching a bonnet and reticule
from a lady. She was indicted for highway
robbery, convicted and executed. Some
years earlier, old women were hung and
