A Democrat from the country applied for
-a dictionary the other day, in Bedford, and
"wouldn't have the plagued thing because
it had no index.'" He is also opposed to the

It was a long time ago that a New-IIamp-ehire
judge, in charging a jury, said: "The

have talked ot law, as waa right ; but gen

consider it is not law we want, but justice."
A sensible judge.-. There are few like him.

The Mechanics' Bank of St. Louis has
given notice that it will . redeem in coin on
presentation its outstanding circulation,
which amounts to about $50,U00. This is
believed to be the first movement of the
kind, and the opinion is expressed by the St.
Louis papers that the example will be follow
ed by other banks in that and o'her cities.
A telegram, received by the Secretary of
the Treasury, announces the actual resump

greenback will now purchase as much cotton

ic wiseacres who so confide! tly predicted
the ultimate worthlewsness of greenback, of

While Frank Blair has quietly sunk into
the insurance business, forgetting his favor
ite hobby that Grant means "the empire,"
we see painful evidences of vitality in Mr.
Lincoln's Postmaster-General, Montgomery
B'uir, who ha caused himself to be announc
ed as a candidate for Congress in the Fifth
Maryland District. Whatever may be said
of Moutgoanery, lie will be an improvement

At a meetine under the auspices of the
Democratic Association of Pennsylv?nia,
held in Philadelphia, cn Saturday evening
a-week, Mr. John Campbell, the principal
speaker, insL-ted that if the Democracy
wished to succeed "they must accept jhc
situation, recognize the importance of the
colored vote, and nominate Hon. Sxlmon P.
Chae for Pidsnt in 1872." Poor Dem
ocracy! Has it com to thi.? That you in
tend to swallow "old greenbacks'' and the
"nigger" at one gulp ?
General Sheridan meets the Indian hsuc
as boldly and frankly as he always met the
foe in the field. He has no word of palia

wages by his oi dors. He bhirks no respon

ted b the savages, and sums up the case by
tha artiou; "that the problem to be solv
ed is who shall be killed, the whites or the
Indians?" The latter question really em bod
ies the pith of the aboriginal trouble. Will
the Indian peace agenu auswer in a man

It now seems tfiat the Democrats of Whit

contusion ; in fact, there is so much good
sense in it. that it Li scarcely credibly. Let
the Dcaiocrats, by all means, rote for a ne

beaten, they will be supported by the con

The celebration proposed in Congress for
Philadelphia, in ls?6, is decidedly a "tig
thing." Mr. Morrel!, of the Cambria dis
trict, introduced the bill, a few days ago, in
the iiousw. It contemplates an exhibition
of American and foreign art, products and
manufactures, to be held in Philadelphia
during the centennial year; directs thfe ap
pointment by the VresiJent of six delegates
and alternate from each State, to prepare
plans aud consult with the authorities of
Philadelphia ; the commission to report to
Congress a'- iu w-xt .session "a complete plan
for the reception and classification -of articles
intended for exhibition: a suitable date for
opening and for closing it ; a schedule of ap
propriate cereiuouics for opening or dedicat
ing the exhibition." and all the necessary fi
nancial and custom house details. No com
pensation is to be paid these commissioners
other than the mileage allowed members of
Congress. When the President is informed
by the Governor of Pennsylvania "that pro
vision has been made for the exclusive con
trol by the United States of the proposed
exhibition, the President shall make pro
clamation of the same, setting forth the year
in which the exhibition will take place and
the city in which it will be held,; and he
shall communicate to the diplomatic repre
sentatives of all nations copies of the same
for publication in their respective countries."
The bill was referred in the House to the
Committee on Manufactures.
Remarkable Testimony. The follow
ing notable passage is from a lecture, deliv
ered by W. D. Moore, Esq., on February
4th, 1670, at Washington, Pa., and will bear
a careful perusal :
"I am a Democrat, and ODnosed to the
Fifteenth Amendment, but I desire to bear
my testimony to the character of the negro
population of the South.. Afterthe passage
of the conscript act they outnumbered the
whites five to one. 1 hey could have arisen
at any time and utterly annihilated the white
population, and they were nof wanting evil
men to make the suggestion. They remain
ed, however, the same in obedience, docility,
faithfulness and order, as before the war
broke out. There is nothing like it in nil
the pages of history, and I never knew or
heard of a race who teemed, in my judg
ment, to live so near to the Divine teaching
as the negroes of the South during the re
bellion. Their conduct was epitomized in a
single remark made to me by a very aged
one among them : 'We'se like the children
of Israel at tbc Bed Sea ; all we has to do is
to stand si ill and see the salvation of the
Lord!" At all times and under all the cir
cumstances I will bear testimony to the un
equalled behavior of the Southern negroes
during the war."
Tub Wj.MPEd Rebellion. The conduct
of the so-called General Riel in executing at
least one prisoner, to be followed up, appa:
rently, by the execution of seven or eL:ht
others, will convert the Winnipeg drama from
a farce into a tragedy. By the narrative of
these events, it appears that the prisoners
were captured without fighting, and, appa
rently, without the manifestation by the
General himself of any marked disposition
to fight, inasmuch as be shared in none of
the danger of the enterprise. For a mere
insurrectionary leader, in a country almost
joo feeble to be capable of an insurrection,
to tatS upon those who oppose his sway and
execute tncni as rebels, is an evidence of
tyranny and cowardice on the part of Riel
which presages his speedy fall and punish
ment. Jeff. Davis executea Southern Union
ists as rebels. But tha Government of the
United States executed nobody for a ret.'d'ion
which cost a million of lives. That Rie,
should take the first lives lost in his emente
by a series of bloody executions stamps him
at onre as a tyrant and a coward.
Women's vs. Men's Rights. TnE New
York legislature is maturing a law to define
the rights of married men. as a sort of counter
check to the everlasting, never-ending, and
terribly it definite talk about woman's rights.
The proito.ed law gives the husband a life
estate in the property of his wife after her
decease, provides that the benedict shall
not be liable for debts of his wife contracted
before nitrriage, nor after marriage unless
incurred with his consent, or necessary to the
surport of their children; and to crown this
assertion of "rights," the new law proposes
that any married man possessed of realestate
may sell such property in all respects as if
he were unmarried. This is to put an end
to the odiouj practice especially odious .to
real cm ate speculators of requiring the
wife, on being interrogated apart from the
husband, to give her written a sent to the
sale of real estate property by her hu-band
before such sale can be valid.
Wiiem Doe SiMiNd RsaiN? We notice,
says the Pittsburg Chro.u'clc, that all of our
eschari ges speak of the first of March as the
first day of spring. This is an error, accord
ing to ihe very best authority. Herschel
says that "for the Northern Hemisphere the
astronomical spring begins at the vernal
equinox, or on the 21st of March, and ends
at the time of the summer solstice, or on the
2lst of June, when the sun reaches its high
est position in the heavens at midday." Ac
cording to Herschel. therefore, the spring
season begins Maich 21st, and ends June
2Ut; the summer season begins June 21st
and ends September 21. n; the fall season
begins September 21st and ends December
21st, and the winter sea; on begins Decem
ber 2 1st and ends March 21st Worche; tcr
defines spring to be the "season in which
general vegetation begins." Webster speaks
of it as the ".season of tin year when plants
wgia to vegetate and rUe."

Ku-Zlux Outrages.
United States Marshall Slack writes
from Charleston, Kanawa county, West
Virginia, the recently selected capital of
the State, under dale of March 3d, that an
organized band of armed Ku-Klux entered
the town in open day-light on the morning
of the 2d. and advancing to the jail with
keys and other fixtures, deliberately un
locked the outer and cell doors, releasing
the prisoners. .To those who happened to
be present cocked revolvers were presented,
with threats that if an alarm was given
death would be their portion. The organ
ization is said to be widespread, and the
civil authorities are powerless. In view of
the speedy removal of the capital to Charles
ton, the Governor, it is said, will call upon
the Government for military aid to suppress
the lawlessness. -
A later. Kii.Klux outrage oocured at
Graham, North Carolina. A body of men
numbering from seventy-five to one hun
dred, wearing masks and being orhertrise
disguised, appeared about midnight at the
house of a negro named Holt ; entered and
searched the premises. . The real object
of their search was not to be found, but an
other negro named White, equally obnox
ious to them, occupied the conjugal couch
with Mrs. Holt. White without further
ceremony, was dragged from his bed, out
of which a cord was cut, which was fasten
ed around his neck.- In a feigned tone of
voice one of the gang demanded of the ter
ror stricken Mrs. Holt the whereabouts of
her husband. - They were informed that he
had gone some distance into the country on
business. They then informed her that
they proposed to hang him if captured. At
her peril Mrs. Holt was ordered to make
no noise or even to cross her - threshold un
til after daylight, and with similar terrible
injunction to White to make no alarm,
they departed, leading that unfortunate j
wretch with them. He was placed astride
a mule, marched beneath the overhanging
boughs of a Jarpe oak tree in front of the
Court House, a bed cord attached to his
neck, and their victim suffered death by j
strangulation. It is said the mysterious
baud proceeded to the residence of the Clerk
of the Superior Court,and endeavored to
decoy him out, but he, suspecting their in
tentions, remained within, and thus saved
himself. - Other citizens have been shot,-
scourged, and beaten, and threatened with
further violence. In view of these fac's,
Geo. Holdcn issued a proclamation declar
ing Allamance county 'u a state, of insur
rection, and sent some State miliaria thith
er to maintain tho peace.
The Naturalization Laws. We no
tice that some of our Democratic exchanges
are much excercised over tho proposed
change in the naturalization laws. They
represent that the law, it passed, will require
a five year's residence after naturalization
before such person will be entitled to vote.
This is simply false. The bill pending in
the House, which will probably pass, only
requires a residence of three years instead of
five, and tho notice of intention is to bo
given only twenty days instead of two years
before makitig the application. The power
of making citizens, however, is to be con
fined, with few exceptions, exclusively to
the United Slates Courts, but the judgment
awarding citizenship to the applicant is not
to take effect until mx months after it is ren
dered. Should this bill pass, it will no
doubt prevent all illegal voting on fraudu
lent naturalization papers issued on the eve
of an election, and hence the opposition of
the Democracy to the proposed change in
the law.
Vindication of (Juu WFarland. In
the -Senate.last week, Mr. GraLam presented
tho report of the Senate Education Com
mittee of IS69, raised to investigate altered
abuses in the Soldiers' Orphans' Pepartmenf
which entirely exonerates Colonel George F.
M'FarTar.d, the State Superintendent of
Soldiers' Orphans, front any fraud or coiu-
plcity of fraud., and declares that he has been
found to have no financial interest in any
particular school under his charge. Colonel
M'Farland has long had the full confidence
of the best friend of the soldier in the State
and this very direct and comprehensive
report should set at rest all doubts as to his
integrity as the condition of the orphans'
school does to his ability.
Woman's Rights. The names of the
ladies at Cheyenne,. Wyoming Territory,
who have been the first in the history of
the world to sit upon a jury, deserve to be
put upon record. On the grand jury there
are five women, in a total of fifteen persons,
viz : Mrs. Amelia Hatcher, Mrs. Dr. Hil
ton, Miss Eliza Stewart, Mrs. J. Mackcl,
and Mrs. Agues Baker. Twenty-two petit
jurors were drawn at tha same time, of
whom six are women, as follows: Miss
Nettie Hazen, Mrs. Jennie Lancaster, Mrs.
Lizzie A. Spooner, Mrs. Jennie Irvinson
Miss MaryFiynn and I. N. Harioougb.
New Hampshire Election. The result,
of the election in New Hampshire, last week,
was a complete Republican triumph. Gov

In the House the Republicans have about
50 majority. The figures 6how that there
has been a terrible upheaval of the Demo

Now that 42,003 negro voters are to be added
to thoseexeruising the franchise in that State
by the operation of the Fifteenth amend
ment, the majority for Democracy will be
very small. There will not, therefore, be a

Execution of Bohner and Bodenbnrg.
From the Huntingdon Journal and A
merican. we gather the following account
of the execution of the Peightal family
murderers, at Huntingdon, on Wednesday.
The crowd in attendance was immense :
The intended wife of Bcdenburg, a
young girl named Kerper, from near Altoo-
n, visited him in the evening, and an af
fecting scene was witnessed as the parties
took a final leave of each other. She also
conversed with 'Bohner, and implored him
to tell the truth and save Boden burg.
Bohner merely replied to her, in substance
that they had lived together and they
would have to die together.
This morning, the last on earth for the
doomed men, we visited them about 8
o'clock. In answer to our inquiry, as to
how he felt, Bodenburg said "not good,"
and he said he had passed a restless night,
and had not slept any. He was weeping
bitterly. Bohner was lying on bis couch
reading his Bible, but shortly afterward
arose, and engaged in conversation with
the visitors, answering all questions put to
him. His conversation was as usual, shat
ered and wandering from one subject to
another, without any Feeming realization of
hi situation. At 9 o'clock tho room was
cleared of all visitors, and the prisoners
were left alone with .their spiritual advis-
CIS.
The crowd outside was immense, and
every available position, from which a
glimpse ot the scaffold could be obtained
was ocupicd. including trees, roofs, chim
neys, lie. Inside the walls were about four
hundred people, including the Sheriff and
assistants, the jury, and the representa
tives of the press, a large number of whom
were in attendance.
The irons were removed from the priso
ners, neither of whom manifested much e
motion during their Yemoval. Bodenburg
merely ejaculated, "Bless God, I'm free !"
and at 12J o'clock precisely, the doom
ed men were brought from their cells for the
last time, and conducted to the scaffold."
Bohner, in charge of Deputy Sheriff Fouse,
headed the procession, and was followed by
his fellow culprit in charge of Capt. H. Clay
Weaver, and these in turn followed by the
Revs. Sleckel, Clark, Wilson, and other
attending clergyman, to the scaffold. The
prisoners were assisted in mounting the
ladder, but manifested little trepidation, and
ascended with little difficulty.
' A prayer in German was then offered by
Rev. Sykis, of Martinsburg, Blair county,
after which Bodenburg proceeded to read
in German the paper (a confession) already
published, to which Bohner listened with
the most profound attention, and in an
swer, remarked that they were both guilty
and both ought to die togethcis or words
of that elTect. - Bolenburg responded in
a very earnest and excited manner, "shame
on you, Charley. You ought to be asham
ed of yourself to talk s in 'your last mo
ments. Such conduct docs not seem hu
man." . r .
The concluding prayer was then offered
by Rev. J. C. Clark, and was a most fer
vent and eloquent petition to the throne of
Mercy in bcbalf of the unfortunate and
condemned culprits.
On being asked if they had anything far
ther to say, Bohner merely re asserted as
truth the confession made by him last eve
ning. . .
The attending clergymen then each in
turn took an affectionate leave of the cul
prits, and retired from the scaffold! The
ropes were then adjusted by the Sheriff and
his Deputies, and while in the act of so do
ing Bodenburg ejaculated fervently, his
lat prayer as follows : "Oh, Lord Jesus
Christ I I am now coming to Thee, for
give n:y sins, and take my poor soul up in
to Heaven. Amen, Amen." The re-
J sponsc was taken up and reiterated with
the greatest fervency by the ministers, as
they left the scaffold.
' The fatal caps were drawn over their fa
ces, the Deputies retired, and the prisoners
were left alone with th Sheriff, with whom
they both shook hands and expressed their
thanks for bis kindness, requested him to
remember them to bis wife, Bodenburg
saying that he hoped to meet him in hea
ven. The sentences were yet trembling on
their lips when tiie drop fell, and the
bodies of the murderers were dangling be
tween the heaven anil the earth. The drop
fell at precis ly 20 minutes of 1 o'clock.
The bodies remained suspended 25 min
utes, at the end of which time they were
lowered down and placed id the coffins at
the foot of the gallows. Both died eaily,
without any apparent struggle, there was not
on the part of either the slightest motion
of the lower limbs. Bohner's neck was
broken, whilst Bodenburg died from stran
gulation. The countenances of the men in death
were almost as natural as ever, with the ex
ception of a slight discoloration in the face
of Bodenburg.
Thus died the guilty perpetrators of one
of the "most inhuman murders in the annals
of crime, an awful example of the truth
contained in the declaration that the way
of the transgressor is hard," and that 't he
wages of sin !s death." May it be long ere
we are compelled to witness or to chronicle
another such scene.
