Brown's last week's Republican
coutains a foul slander against the
citizens of this side tbe county in gen
eral, relative to our schools and the ca
pacity of our children to acquire an
education. He says die has the au
thority of the county superintendent
for saving that lh.* "schools in How
ard, Clinton and Liberty twp., are far
superior to the schools in other poi*>
lions of the county, and then comes
in with an insolent slur upon Peons
valley. Now the fact is, that at the
time Browu penned his uukittd and
uncouth sentences, the county superin
tendent had not visited more than two
schools in Curtiu twp., and did not
tell Brown any thing that would war
rant him in such a low Hing at Pettns
valley. Brown himself was raised in
Penns valley, and was the only ass we
ever had to disgrace u*. The chil
dren of our Penns valley farmers are
among the brightest iu the countVi
and the county superintendent will
testify that our school# are as far ad
vanced as those of any other portion of
the county, and besides, we have turn
ed out a larger share of scholars,
teachers, aud professional men, who
do honor to their native valley than
any other portiou of the county,
whilst the only ass turned out was Bill
Brown, of whom his native soil is
ashamed.
The U. S. States senate, a few days
ago, passed a bill, by one majority, re
galing the income tax. —We would
have been pleased to see a larger ma
jority, but this will do, if the house
jollows suit, of which there is not so
much hope, as Grant wishes the odious
measure to be continued, and there
mav be too many in that body to do
bis bidding.

The Blessings of Negro Rule.
South Carolina is one of the two
states of the south, in which the black
population outnumbers the white, and
where things are carried on in accor
dance with the negro equality and ne
gro ability ideas of the "god and
morality" party. We give our white
radicals a little glimpse of how the
niggers do thiugs in South Carolina,
which we take from the World.
The negro vote controls all the offi
ces in this State. The Governor, Jud
ges, Legislature, United States Sena
tors. and Members of Congress, county
offices, in fact all the officials, are in
debted to the negro vote for place and
power. And it appears by the annual
report of the State Auditor, that this
tremendous voting mass pays no tax
whatever. As the negroes have no
property, the only tax which could
reach or affect tliem is the poll tax and
that they successfully evade eveu this,
appears" from the report referred to.
The Auditor's exhibit shows that only
41,000 persons paid the poll-tax last
year. These, of course, were the white
property-owners < Democrats) who had
real estate to return, and from whom
this tax, in addition to the other taxes,
was easily collected. But the last elec
tion shows, by official returns, 130,000
votes poller! —an execs* of some ninety
thousand over the number paying the
poll-tax. Here, then, we have the
evidence of an official rej>ort that the
90,000 Radical voters in th.s Slate who
fill this Legislature with the peihuld
company now sitting here, ami send
men to Washington as representatives
of South' Carolina, pay no taxes what
ever. Those who pay all the taxes
and gupport the whole obnoxious ma
cliinery are utterly voiceless and un
represented ; for they either do not vote
at all or, if they do, are invariably de
feated by Radical election laws which
make the ballot a farce.
The result of this atrocious state of
things is seen in the reckless extrava
gance of the State Government. Under
a white man's government an annual
session of three weeks was considered
amply sufficient for a Legislature of
frouth Carolina, and the members were
only allowed a per diem of three dol
lars.™ Now, the present session has a I
ready lasted two months, nothing in
tlit- way of useful legislatiou has heeu
d< ?t. the members draw all the time
. vm during the holidays) their six
doilitis per diem, and they have en
teied upon the impeachment of one of
own judges for drundennees (and they
knew hishabitsbefore they elected htm),
and for releasing on bail certain white
citizens who were arrested on false
t political) grounds; and in this way j
will manage to indefinitely protract ;
the session and deplete the treasury. |
The tut st of them are negroes and stili i
lower whites, and many of them h§ve
moved their families to this place and
settled down as for a permanent ses
sion. They cannot make anything
elsewhere, and they have no idea of
stopping their pay by an adjourn
ment.
The whiles arepowerlesato interfere,
and look on and suffer in silence. No
word even of remonstrance of protest
is now heard, but the State 'staggers I (
and reels under the crushing Vrphg.

(Jovenior.
Some of our exchange* an' already
giving their views as to who should be
tbe next democratic nominee for gov
ernor of this state. It may not be too
early to canvass the merits of the dirt",
erent gentlemen that may be proposed,
provided it is done with the sole view
of assisting in finding out who is the
proper man to be our next standard
bearer, and how the harmony and sue-1
cess of the democratic organisation
can best be secured. The triumph
of our party in the next gubernatorial
campaign ia beyond a doubt, if these
thing# be kept in view, and the suc
cess ef factions and interests be laid
aside; that the latter is tbe unanimous
desire of the democratic masses, we
know to be a fact, and we hope rings
and cliques will for once slam) aloof,
and lei the will of the rank and tile,
who are always holiest, predominate.
The selfish, trading politicians can no
longer whip in the masses, and kiudle
in them an enthusiasm for their tools,
as once was the case, at least not to an
extent to insure the success of any man
who may lie nominated, and we think
tliis is right too, for it is the most
wholesome lesson whieh can be taught
the scheming politician.
In order to be successful in the next
campaign we must have, as our tiouii
nee for govt ruor, a gentlemau of puri
ty of character, in whom the masses
have confidence, and why is possessed
of the qualifications requisite for that
position. These are the main requis
ites, aud by presenting a standard bear
er who combines these, the next nomi
nee of the democratic party w ill also be
the next governor.
During the late canvass, the de
mocracy of western Pennsylvania were
a uuit for Gen. Geo. \V. ( ass, ot Pitts
burg, for governor, and in presenting
the name of that distinguished gentle
man. the pulse of the democracy of
central Pennsylvania, best in unison
with their bretheru of the west, and
the Retobtkr among other journals,
expressed itself in favor of the nomin
ation of Gen. Cass, because we knew
his purity of character, his emiuent
qualifications, and because we saw
that the masses pointed to him as the
mau. But the democratic state COO
tion saw fit to nominate another —a
very excellent gentleman—who would
have made a good governor Hud.
Asa Packer —and the result showed it
was an error, the popular desire had
not been gratified, and whilst the
rank aud file did not munner.yet they
could not be brought to enter into the
campaign with that enthusiastic confi
dence, which would have eusured sue
cess. Asa Packer was the choice of
of men who cared more for what they
imagiued they could press out of him,
thau for the public good, but Mr.
Packer proved to shrewd to be bled
by the professional politicians who
brought about his uomiuation for sor
did purposes, aud we credit him for it
The west *as disappointed in not hav
ing its claims in its distinguished son
recognized, yet how nobly did the
west swell up the democratic vote for
au eastern man, while the east itself
fell short in the support of one of its
own best citizens. Had the section
from which Asa Packer hailed only
done tolerably well for its own choice,
he would have beeu elected governor.
The statistics show that the western
democracy have credit fur what reduc
tion there was of Geary's majority,
and had her candidate —Gen. Cass—
beeu upou the ticket, it was admitted
upon ail hands, his great popularity
in the western counties would have
brought much larger gains there ar.d
in fact gains all over the state, which
would have completely swamped
Geary's little majority, and left him
several thousand in the rear. Gen-
Cass would have received thousands of
republican votes, which could uot be
secured for Packer. We think from
the tone of some of the leading west
ern papers, that the name of Gen.
Cass will again be presented as the
choice of that section for governor.
What we know of the popular teeling,
here and elsewhere, we know it to run
in the same channel. He is the man
in whom the masses have confidence,
for whose election they can be rallied,
and for whom the western section of
the state alone will roll up such a
large vote, as to make his election cer
t; n, even were the democratic vote;
elsewhere but the usual party vote
We favor the nomination of Gen
Cass, therefore, as the strongest man,
eminently qualified to fill tho govern-j
or's chair, and as a compliment due the
western democracy for its gallant
behavior.
• RADICAL CORRUPTION.
Failure of the Pacific Railroad—
Astounding Revelation of Radi
cal Corruptions—slso,ooo,ooo
Stolen.
When the Pacific railroad hills
were before congress it was charged
that many of the members of the house
of representatives, conspicuously Mr.
Oaks Ames of Massachusetts, were
personally interested in their passage.
This charge was denied. The grants
conferred by congress consisted of al
ternate sections of a strip of land elev
en miles wide aud ns long as all the
roads together. In addition In this,
congress donated money to build three
roads, amounting in the aggregate to
$70.000,000 —$64,618,832 being the
par value of bonds granted, the re
mainder being an estimated allowance
for premium. AVe say donated. The
bargain was that the roads should'
eventually puy the money back, mean
while pay lite interest.
For security the United States held
a first lien on the roads aud otlu-r
property of the companies. So long
as the government held this lien, the
companies paid their interest prompt-!
ly. The interest thus paid amounted
to $2,417,491. It was not paid in
cash, but in trade—transportation of
mails, etc. —a small swindle of itself, j
After this, another hiil was introduced !
into congress, providing that in case
the companies borrowed money from,
third parties, the latter should have a
first lieu oil the road, etc., in prefer
ence to all other creditors. At this;
monstrous proposition, the charge oi
corruption against the members who
introduced and advocated it was again
made, and denied again. The hill
name*), am) ilm government ha* lo*i A
it# security forever
The next step taken lv the couupt
parties to hi# scheme was to organize
n corporation culled the credit mold- ;
licr. With tluc corjwiration they. # j
individuals, deposited the money they |
hail gained by building the road, lor v
the government had donated to them >
much more money than sufficient to
defray the whole cost ot the roadway,l j
ulant nnd equipment. Next, a* cor (
jxiratorv of roan# thev borrowed this .
money from the credit mohilier, and
gave the latter, in return, bond* of tin ,
companies securer) by u first mortgage (
on the roads, whieh first mortage ha* (
a lien prior to all other*, including
the claim of the government tor the (
millions it had loaned. I hi.* tt ansae (
t tion was seen through at the time, and {
I characterised a* corrupt a* the others j |
intakes Ames was one ol the ring lead
I ers. Oak# Auiea was charged with (
fraud, and Oaks Ames was again dv
fendtd bv the radical pre#* as a pure
man. Next step: the obligations giv
en bv the companies to tbe credit uto
bilier, was sold in the market, and
the proceeds pock*tixl individually
by the conspirators.
The corporators of the companies
thus became possessed, for nothing, of J
some twenty millions cash profits in
building the roads, and the cash avails ;
of all the first mortgage boudsand the
stock; and, in addition, a first lien
covering the roads themselves It
was now only to create pub*
lie distrust concerning the financial
standing of the roads, in order to pro
duce a panic in lha mortgage bonds, j
and buy them hack for a song, after
selling them at pulled-up price*. No
sooner had the hold ot the government
upon the roads been got rid of by leg
islation than the companies stopped
paying interest to the government,
this accumulation of interest was per
milted to go on uutil it amounted to
$6,402,662. Then, and then only,
did Mr. Boutweil remonstrate.
This wa.s the opportunity awaited
bv the compauies. Thev not only
refused to pav but tliev let out the fact
tor lies that they were uuable to pay.
Ou top of this, their ringleader, Oakea
Ames, fails in business, (takes Ames
is not only a member of congress am!
a Pacific railroad corporator, but the
principal of the Antes manufacturing
company, ami the Atues plow com
pany, with patent iuterest iu the firm
ot Oliver Ames A Sons, and endless
other coucerus. Suddenly the plow
company, biggest concern of all, stops,
and the reason alleged is that Ames
has been carrying two millions of I'n
ion Pacific bonds. At the same time
—namely, within the |tst forty eight
hours —Pacific railroad bomU fell
from high price to twelve, and a pan*
ic existed in the market. This is at
tributed to the fadure of Ames, lhe
game is a double one. Ames says be
failed by reason of the decline in Pa
cific bonds, while the decline in Pacit
ic bonds is attributed to the failure of
Atues. Doubts are now thrown out
that the interest on the bonds due will
be paid.
The result is that the schemers buy
in the bonds at a tithe of what they
sold them for. Doubtless this was
done yesterday, and Oakea Ames and
his confederates, or their wives and
aunts, control to-duv the bulk of the
coveted securities. In all probability
the interest ou the bonds w ill not be
paid, the mortgages will be fbicclosed.
ami the road sold at auction to the
highest bider, who, of course, will lie
the impoverished Oakcs Ames ami his
coufederatcs, or their wives or grand
mothers. The aggregate sum realized,
from these defrauding transactions
cannot be less than $ 1 *>0,000,000 in
cash, besides all the transcontinental
railroads and their equipments, and
15,000 square miles of land, consist
ing of alternate sections of these roads,
elevcu miles wide and stretching from
the Mississippi direct to the Pacific
ocean. This mighty prize is the fruit
purely of radical fraud and corrup
tion. It far transcends in value ami
importance the Missisippi bubble of
John La v. and all the values repre
sen ted by that famous scheme.
It cannot be doubted that the uni
versal exeeratiou which at length lie
fell the Mississippi scheme awaits
alike the Pacific railroad scheme.
It cannot be doubted that justice, will
visit upon the corrupt Ames ami his
fellow conspirators in nnd out of con
gress the same ignominious fate it \i--
itcd upon Law ; but, meanwhile, the
outraged rights of a cajoled and swin
dled nation demaud something more. :
Ames from the houso of representa
tives. They demand the impeach
ment of Koutwoll for suffering the
fraud to go on until it assumed its
present gigantic proportions. And
they demand the quick removal from
power of every other man in the gov
ernment who connived at this colossal j
swindle.— Nrie York Mercury.
A Stray Balloon.
Some of the Paris halloons, taken In
unfavorable winds, have bceu blown
over to Norway. The Gazette ofGot
tenburg, of Dec. 1, savs that a balloon
without passengers fell in the neighbor
hood of the little town of Krodshered.
The simple inhabitants of the place ;
were at first greatly astonished by the i
appearance in the air of a balloon—a
thing which they had never seen be- 1
for*. It came along, gradually sink-1
iug until it lauded before the door of .
mi amazed and terrified peasant. There
it lay, halffullofgas, and rolling about
with a peculiar rattle, as if it were
completely exhausted after a long voy- :
I age. The innocent peasants kept for
! a*time at a respectful distance; but
they soon discovered thai the object
-1 of their fear and astonish incut was on
ly a stray balloon from Paris. It coil-
I tuined three large letter bags tied with
chains. Twoofthein were in a perfect
i condition, but the third was torn open.
| The couteuts of this hag were of little
. importance, consisting only of a num
i her of old newspapers. In* the car
. i were six fine healthy pigeons, a bag
| containing several articles of toilet,
some underclothing marked Jv M.
and 11. M., a Scotch plaid, ami officer's
cap, ami an electric battery. The fate
