Person* re mitting by mail, or otherwise, will under *tau 1 from a change in these dales that the money ha* been received Huckstering OWcest. Selling offish under Grant'* administra tion lias got to be a regular business, and if any hungry Centre county rad want* a place let him proceed to Washington, and show Grant or any ol hi* chief# the pile of ''ding-bats ' he is willing to nay for an ap pointment, and he i* sure to win if he be the highest bidder. Grant inaugurated this system himself —all those who made him presents of bouses, corner lot*, horses, and even dog pups, received ap|Huntment* and his head* of departments and bureau do the'same thing ; the busine** is not eon fiued to civil offices, but military appoint ment* are disposed of in the same manner, a* we find in recent developemcnts made at W"aslungton, and found below: Some curiou* fact* have leaked out about the manner iu which the Washington mil itary ring squeescs money out of young applicants for office. A young West Point officer, who went through the civil war iu the volunteer service, concluded after be ing honorably mustered out of service that he would like an appointment as Indian agent. He sought certain military gentle men at Washington, known to be in autho rity and iu the ring, and expressed to them his desire, lie so told that such places wore worth money, and that he must pay sH*\) down if he wanted the office He dec ined to pay a cent down, but finally I agrx*d to deposit that sum in a bank in Wa*hington, subject to the order of one of the parties, upon the appointment being | made known to the banker. Some time elapsed, when the applicant for the agency , received a letter requesting permission to draw §250 of the amount deposited. He j answered that if the comui**ioner would give his word that the appointment *hould ; be made that they might draw the $250. He was then telegraphed that the eomiui*- j sioner was in New York at the Hoffman House, and was requested to go and see i him and show him the whole comespon- : fience. The applicant savs that he called j upon Commissioner Parker and obeyed instructions. The commissioner, upon ex- . training the telegrams, promised that the appointment should be made. The appli cant withdrew, and telegraphed to the j principal of the ring at V\ ashington, with , whom be had dealt, authority to draw the , $250. The money was promptly drawn, ; but the office was not forthcoming, and the I applicant has not seen a dollar of his mo- ! n-y thus swindled out of him. The young applicant ha* recently been successful in business in New York, and doe* not desire j the Indian agency now, but he has dter mined to begin a suit against the parlies, j not only to jtest the virtue of the law in uch cases, but in order that the public j may become better acquainted with the | kind of people who run the Grant govern ment. + ♦ ♦ ——— A Jewell Found in Connecticut. Our renders are aware that at the recent election in Connecticut, owing to the large negro rota polled, the majority of Engluh, j deut., for Governor, over Jewell rad., **• only 25. The legislature being radical the j cry of fraud was raited, and when that bo-1 dy mot a short time ago, it was resolved i that the ballot boxeathouhi be opened and j the votes re-counted, in ordet to see whe ther there might not be some more "Jew- 1 ellV found, but really, no doubt, to give a radical legislative committee an opportu nity to stuff the boxes with Jewell tickets. This committee went to work the other day, and one of the first boxes opened, for one of the wards in New Haven, showed that it contained 100 votes LESS for Jewel! ( than reported upon the return papers ! ' Proying that the return bad been falsified in favor of Jewell to that extent Such radical "jewellry" has been very common j all over the land during the last ten years. Gen. Sherman says the cry about Ku- j Kiux in the south is all trash, and Charles ; Sumner says that Grant himself is the greatest Kukluxer in the country. Now this should be good enough authority for any radical, particularly when brought in opposition to the Ku-Klux slanders manu factured against the south by scoundrels like thief Butler. Mr. Differ,bach, in the Columbian says,; • peaking of the apportionment bill, "With less of factious selfishness on the part of a single democratic Senator a much , better bill might hare been obtained." And the Altoona Sun wants Diffy to say who he is shooting at, and it will scold too. since wc had two senators oi the seventeen. 1 We to say, Diffy let us know what you know, and whom you mean. We know, | and every leading, unselfish democrat of Centre knows, that the democracy of Cen tre are completely bagged by the new ap. \ p-irtionmenL We hear private circles j -peak in a little plainer lan gunge. Connecticut being known as the land of wooden nut-megs, has also the honor of being the land ofbogu* "Jewelry." When will the legislature adjourn ? This question interests the tax pay or very gravely. The month of May I is here, and two weeks of it passed, , and no sign of an adjournment. For merly, our law makers left Harrisburg about the first week of Apri!—and that was just one month louger than necessary. The public servants at Harrisburg tire evidently bent on making a good thing of it —already a proposition is up that each member re ceive $7 dollars per day extra for ev ery day beyond the 7th April. An other proposition is that each member receive an addition of SSOO to his sal ary. Now there is no earthly neces sity for the legislature being in session one day longer. The public interests do not demand it —on the other hand, the public interests would have been served had there been an adjourn ment six weeks ago, there would then have been less private legislation, the curse of the times. There is also a resolution providing for an extra session towards fall for the purpose of hearing the report upon the civil code. This is another pre text for robbing the treasury under the forms of law. Any equal number of back-woodsmen have as good a judge ment as regards the civil code, as have our honest and disinterested savans now sitting at Harrisburg. The civil code, forsooth: if they could be called back to Harrisburg about that time to receive a civil cowhiding, would be more fitting. Seven dollars per day extra—or! five hundred dollars added to the sal ary and au extra session in August, to boot, bow's that for high, tax payers? The South. In the Reporter, two week* ego, we printed a long extract from a letter which appeared in the New \ ork Ob server, a religious paper, trotn a cor respondent in Snath Carolina, for whose truthfulness the Observer vouch ed, and which showed the t>aa-work ings of radical reconstruction. We now call attention to the extract hc low front a correspondent of the New York Tribune who is now traveling through South Carolina aud transmit ting the results of his experience. Previous to his drj>arture the 1 ribune announced with a flourish that an in telligent correspondedl had been sent to the south, and that his accounts could be fully relied on. We make the follow ing extract froiu his la>t let ter, which appeared in the Tribune on the Ist instant: "South Carolina may l regarded a* the typical soutWu state. Hero the southern idea was moM fully develop ed, and here the change to the north' em system of government and society u ntiwt radical, iutl i attended hj the greatest resistance. The only wonder , is that this change has been aecompa | uted by so little violeuce, when it is j considered that no civilised community j ever underwent so sudden and thorough a revolution in all its social, industrial ! and political relations. The slaves of yesterday are the masters of to day ; aud the old, haughty, ruling class is reduced to a couditiou of political thraldom. In order to comprehend the cause of the prewut disturbed con ditiou of tbe state, it is necessary to consider the eleineuls of its population and their changed relations to each other. In a total of 729.000 inhabi tants, there are about 42o,oor whites—the "low down people," whose poverty, stupidity and degradation are beyond the conception of any man who j has never seen them. They live in . huts, without windows and ofteu with out floors. They ar totally illiterate,, and have not the slightest desire for education, or for anythiug but corn bread, bacon and whisky. They haled the negroes with a moral hatred, look ing upon them as rivals. They are la zy, vicious, quarrelsome, revengeful! and capable of brutal crucitv. Tbe' educated white men form a thifd class comparatively small in number, but : owning all tbe property in the state To them the present supremacy of the j negro race is a thing unnatural and altogether abominable. At first they ' looked upon reconstruction as a farce, and believed that a democratic triumph in 1868 would sweep it all away. Now it is a horrible reality From the stale of amazement with which they first saw the negroes ( whom they had always regarded as cattle) making Jaws, levy ing taxes; holding office aud acting as jurymen, they passed into a condition of bitterness and rage, of which violence and murder was tbe natural couae quence. It would be hard to imagine a state 1 of society more entirely unfitted for a republican form of government than this. The inteligent people of the state have no voice in public affairs, and no influence iu the government,i and are obliged to submit to the rule, of a class just released from slavery, and incompetent* without guidance, to exercise the simple-t duties of citizen ship. This conditiou of affairs is so un wholesome and unnatural, and so fruit ful of evil that it is clear that itcaunot last. In 1868 the leading white citi zens held aloof from conventions and elections, and the flew government commenced with little opposition ; but in 1870, at the next state election, they made an effort to conciliate the negroes,; and attempted to create a reform par , ty which should disregard dictinction of race. They adopted a platform which fully recognized all the rights the negroes had gained, and professed no desire ever to interfere with them ; aud they succeeded in inducing a few negroes to accept nominations on their tickets. The roovemcut failed. The negroes distrusted the sincerity of the white men, and feared to trust them with power. They went to the reform meetings, listened attentively to the [lersuasions of their former masters, and then voted in a body for therudi eal candidates. The white men were greatly enraged at the result To make matters worse, they bclisved that in all the upper counties where the ra ces are nearly evenly balanced, gross frauds had been committed in count ing the votes. Unfortunately they had much reason for this belief, lu the previous winter, the legislature had passed a new election law, which, with out exaggeration, is most outrageous. No more ingenious measure couid be contrived to facilitate fraud in the in terest of the dominant party; and this was probably the purpose of its fra mere. Under its provisions the gover nor appoints three commissioners of eleclious in each county, who in turn appoint three managers for each poll;, all of these are, of course, of one party. Directly after the polls are closed there is no countiug of the vote, hut one of the managers takes the ballot- box and poll-list to hi* house, t rhrrt ht •* per miffed fo Iffp fAem for thrtr • lay*, with nothing whatever to binder liiin Irotu polling * many ballots in tho box and fictitious nninv* U|HIII the poll book a* he pleases. Br the end ol the three day* the managers take Iht boxes to ihe coramiMoncr* nl the eoun ty scut. The commissioners may, ii turn, k<*cp iliom five tiny*. Ibe box v are theu opened iu private, with n , one present but the commi#uionors anil | their clerk. The vote# are counted am a return uotde to the lamed ol *tal I canvasser*. If ihe ballot boxes havi not been sufficiently stuffed by tin : managers, the commissioners luivt | every facility giveu lluin to tnke a J turn at the business*. It is no wonder that the "reformers" belicvetl lhey bad been cheated through Ihe working* ol this uujiul law." ♦ -♦ • The Washington Patriot sava: "It seems to bo understood that Governor Curtin intend# to renounce his bun crablc exile in St. iVtersbiirg. and to come home in order to lake part in the I'reeidential campaign, either as a candidate—if that be prac ticable —or as an activa participator. Several of bis personal frieuds have just been removed from the Custom House in Philadelphia, for being "disloyal to the re-nomination of Mr. Grant, which is now the unpardonable sin in the eye* of Collector Forney, who was more tbau inclined himself to the sauie mode of thought only a few week* ago. Governor Curtin wtitl hold# a consid erable influence in Pennsylvania, and will he apt to exercise it in away that will not satisfy the military 'Kirg iu ■ these parts." Just as the RKPOUTKU said las: week—they have the same opinion a: Washington as to what may bo the reasons tor "our Andy # return. Grant and Cameron have determined to slaughter Curtin. What will oug Centre county rails who still cling to the great smoker, and yet profess to love Andrew G. Curtin, say to this lit tle scheme of the great butcher in the white bouse and old wiggle waggle Winnebago? Andrew G. 1 urtin is a better man than Grant, Cameron, But ler and the whole horde of sycophant# taken together, who hover around the while house like butxards do around a carcass. Rothermel's painting of the Battle of Gettysburg ordered by the state of Pennsylvania, i*Md to bo the greatest picture iu the world. —£*<-Auny<. Yes, and we might as well ndd thul it is just as great a swindle. Ihe j state, or rather n radical legisla ture, ordered the painting nt a cost of i $3OOll, for the rotunda of the onpitol. and it has been on exhibition, iu Phil adelphia, at 25 cents a peep for nearly one year, and the proceeds ure junket ed by a private ring. The taxpayers jmid for it to be public property, and, now when one of them desires to sec it. be must pay 25 cents. This outrage has been knowu to every member of the present legislature, and yet chi# unwarranted speculation with public; property has been allowed to go on. Two or three of our politicians, uhoj have been so long in a Radical sena-j torial district that they have g>t uwdi to to it, are growling now because the new apportionment bill places us in a Democratic district. It is the first time in twenty-one years and perbap# longer, thai the Democracy ut Centre county have had it to say that they; are iu a Democratic district ; und if: this is a reason for complaint, perhap# those who are troubled in that way had better move into a distriot where, they can have Radical rule to their heart's conteuL — WWfAwiin. Our gallant neighbor is generally in symjxaihy with the feelings of the de mocracy of the county, but ujton this subject very few will be found as apo logists of the new senatorial district. Every prominent democrat iu Ceinre county, so far a* we could learn, dr plores the company tve arc obliged to keep under the new apportionment, and if these were to move out of the county, there would be very little ma. terial left wherewith to roll up 800 majority. We desire as much as our neighbor to be in a democratic district but what we, and nine tenths of the democracy of this county, who arc jiure and virtuous, deplore is, that we have been sold and titd to company which has no reputation for political chastity. We are now carried in the pockets of corruptionists. We do not like the district, aud we mean to say so, neither do we wish any democrat who can anoligize for it to move out of the countv on account of an honest differ ence of opiuion. The democracy of Centre have been sold to a set of jmlit ieal sharjters, for n purpott, nnd are forced to keep company with ldathsoinc [tolilicious into whose jiower we are given. Centre county democrats, and Gentry county interests, are in no wise identified with the wire-pullers anil in terests of the counties along the Juni ata river, with whom we now arc asso ciated as a senatorial district. What the democracy of this county wanted was btiler democratic company and ties of interest with the counties com posing the district, in which jiarticu lars the new district is altogether wan ting, so faros concerns our county and the democratic jmrty in it. If the Centre county democracy do ! not maintain a stiff upper lip when | the next nomination for senator is made, then they must fall hack into the position of hewers of wood nnd drawers of water for the men who are now chuckling over their seeming suc cess in having dragged us into the |>oli ticul serfdom of lobbyists.

F-ven now her - manner of walking, with live body ' slightly bent furwaid, and the small I - stick which she frequently carries, is ; * imitated by the ladies of ('liislehurst, * and a reflex of it may be traced far " beyond that occluded district.
