Columbia county, Fa. : TOKGOVERNOR,w- HON. HIESTEH CLYMEG, 07 BESKS COPWTY. County Poor House. Since the issuing of our last paper we "have been asked more than a score of ques tions, by different persons, respecting the Columbia County Poor Hou-e, and for a clear and decisive answer we have only - to refer them to the bill itself. The bill is plain and easily to be understood, in all its provisions, and ehould be carefully eiamin . ed by every man in the county in order that he may vote intelligently upon it on next Tuesday. It provides for the establishing of an entire new system of maintaining the poor of our county, which is a matter of no ' minor importance, and before the people accept or reject the new plan they should be well satisfied , that they are acting in the right direction to promote their interests. We do not deem it necessary that we should speai of this bill in detail, as it has been published in all the county papers for the past five weeks, thus affording every person an opportunity to examine it and act in the matter as his better judgment would dictate. Should we undertake to. go through the bill, and explain the different sections, it would , 3 up one-half page of our paper ; but we will not leave the matter without directing special attention to the sixth, tenth, and thirteenth sections. They should be under stood by all before voting for or against the bill. . t We are well aware that certain persons are opposing this Poor Ilouse question through prejudice to Bloom township. Why this is we cannot exactly understand. It is true, this , township has, what might be considered by ' some persons, a large Poor debt, but the tax payer of Bloom vriR be obliged to pay their oven debt and not the county, as has been cir culated by individuals who ought to have known better if they did not And, as to the nuraber of Poor being supported in this township at present, it is no larger in pro- portion to our population, than that of any of the other townships in the county. Besides this being the case, when we come to remove then? to the Poor House, there uHL not be one half the number tee now have to support I At -least thi3 has been the ex perience in other counties where they have Poor Houses. On thi3 point we were cred ibly informed, a few day3 ago, that when the Borough of Danville came to remove her poor, FOETT-NIXE IN NUMBER, only NINE were conveyed to the House of support and employment of the Poor. This single point . speaks columns in favor of County Poor Houses. " It is conclusive argument that the people should erect one in every county. Not only in towns will the number of pau pera be less, when they come to be taken to a Poor House, but the same result will be experienced in the country districts. When the paupers throughout the county, or at least many of them, find that they are oblig ed to enter a place of employment, they will prefer maintaining themselves, out-side of the Poor House. There 'are at present per sons being kept in certain districts in this county, who could maintain th:nselve3 were they obliged to do so, but so long as they can be kept fixe from labor they will remain a town charge. There are some townships at present pay ing no poor taxes, and these townships, we are told, are opposing the Poor House, for the reason that if they, support it, they will be taxed to keep the paupers of other town ships. This should not be the case, as it is the intention to make the Poor House farm maintain the poor without levying and col lecting any taxes for that purpose. Tliis can be done. There are dozens of farms in this county, the income of which would sup port twice the number of poor kept in this county, besides paying all necessary expenses 4 - 3 J. il iJ il. - , j " j i such employing a Superintendent, Physi cian, Matron, and necessary help upon the farm. Instead of the institution being a burden to the people, it can be made a source of Revenue to the county. In many of the lower counties this is the case. The system works so well in the count-'es of Lehigh, Chester, Philadelphia, , CLrion, Montour, and others, that the people of those counties would not think for a moment of falling back upon the old system of maintaining their paupers by townships. They now have a system that works" well, every one seeming to be satisfied ; besides they ere rid of all the annoyances connected with the present township arrangement to which our people are now subjected. In point of economy, much can be said for this plan of supporting paupers. They will not be scattered all over the county, but kept at one place, an J all eat at the same ta ble, at uniform pricesi be attended by a regular Physician medicines purchased at the lowest wholesale prices clothing pro cured in lots upon the most reasonable terms and all necessary articles for their main tenance will be bought at much lower rates than are now had under the present system. The people of Columbia county, upon the whole, we think, should accept thi3 bill We say so, because we dncsreTy believe it will be an advantage to them, in many, ways, tedies, be establishing a system of support ij crcr pauper population that will be a credit to our countj and pever be changed by the will of the peojle. .When they ence accept it, and give it 4 fair trial, we feel con- -lent that they will be fully satisfied the new system is much preferable to the cld.? We advocate the Uli believing it just ..jthat the people of this county hsva long needed. Tremay be mistake If tie vote cf the c:-mty goe3 aj-ai&st cur Ullsf rra will lava Truths timely and well Cpolien. We do not know that the private aim of the Radicals could be better exposed than is done by, the New York Journal of Commerce, in the extract which we give below, from that valuable paper. When wa reflect on the despotic power wielded by tho Lincoln Administration over the liberty of the citi zen its lettrct de cachet its bastiles its imprisonment without warrant of law its military arrests of citiiens not in the army service, nor within the lines of the army- its trial of civilians by military commission (a tribunal unknown to civil or military law) its disregard of the Constitution we can not be surprised at the course of Stevens, Sumner and the Radicals of Congress. It is a necessity to perpetuate their power. That . j . TO . i is tne key to tneir policy. Jiney .voiea Stockton out of the Senate Voorhees, Bkooks and others out of the House against the admission of Colorado when they supposed its Senators would support J onN son ; changed the vote and admitted it on the promise of the Colorado Senators to op pose the President's policy, though it3 Con stitution allowed none to vote but white men voted for the report of the Thad. Ste vens Star Chamber Committee to disfran chise the South until after the next Presi dential election and all, to retain power. The appropriateness, therefore, of the com ment of the Journal of Commerce will be readily acknowledged. That sound paper says : , "The importance of this subject is visible in the steadfast advance of Radicalism to wards despotism by the usual course. The nrst step nas Dee a laxen in ine expulsion from Congress of members who stood in the way. The argument is : Those who differ from us hate our form of government, and ought therefore to be forbidden any part in it. 1 he natural line 01 advance is toward the forcible suppression of all opposition. It would not be surprising to hear a proposi tion from tne .Radicals to exclude Irom sul- frage all who have voted the Democratic ticket during the past four years. 1 This has been threatened by some of the over-zealous, and it would not be strange to see it openly proposed. The Radicals believe all their Northern opponents to be traitors, or so ex press their belief, and they have framed an amendment to the Constitution which they frankly admit is for the purpose of securing to them the election of the next President." :-er tor -VI Bfiy President Johnson has signed the amended (as it is called) habeas corpus act, intended to screen all those military satraps and low officials generally, who were in the employ of the Government, from just pun ishment for their abuses to private citizens and illegal arrest3 made during the past four year3. Many of these arrests were altogeth er unwarranted ; but made out of hatred towards Democrats to" further the polit ical designs of that corrupt party. The day is fast approaching when redress canbe had, and fearing all thte, the Black scoundrels in Congress have passed an act to protect these villains ; or, in other word?, to justify their acts. Is it right? Can there be any hon esty about it? Of course Secretary Stan ton urged this thing in order to save his ba con. The President has approved of the legislation. It may have been a bid for Mr. Stantoni He since heartily endorses Mr. Johnson. To say the least, the Secretary's conversion to Johnson's policy is very speedy, and if purchased by this piece of legislation was too dearly paid for, and the people will not sustain the act. The people endorse President Johnson whenever he is right, but when he favors such outrageous villains as Stanton, Butler & Co., by appending his signature to a bill, they cannot say ''amen." S&" Go ahead, Mr. Republican, we know that there i3 a concentrated effort being made by Ana Dickinson, Lucretia Mott, Fred. Douglas, Wendell Phillips, and all the Radical Destructionists, to create the im pression that, the whole Republican party is against the President. The "wish is father to the thought." There is a very consider able portion of the party, which, although it has hitherto said but little, is warm in favor of the President It is not the noisy political demagogues and wire-workers, but the substantial farmers, mechanics and busi ness men who take this position, and who are thoroughly disgusted with the course their party leaders in Congress are pursuing. There is not a State in the Union where there are not thousands of Johnson Repub licans. You can count them in every neigh borhood, and their influence will, by and by, be felt by the Radicals. Come, come, neigh bor, be honest. Why the Rational Intelli gencer says : "That at a meeting of the Ohio Republican State Central Committee, recently held at Columbus, at which seven teen members were present, twelve voted to sustain the President's policy." What does it indicate? Party Before Country. A short time ago Lhe valorous editor of the Republican, and his pliant partizans, boldly charged upon the Democratic party, that they were for " party before, country." Now, they vehe mently oppose our country, and support their party. They support the Rump Dis union Congress, because it opposes the res toration of the Union, and oppose the Pres ident, because, forsooth, he is in favor of it restoration. Shame upon such base and heartless hypocrites. Com. 2T" The Geary men are not at all sanguine of success ; they are fast discovering that their candidate enjoys nothing more than a newspaper reputation as a military man.

Local Papers. A good local or oaiinty paper" is a 'want and a necessity of every community. They cannot always competo with city papers of large circulation in pricelnquantityof read ing matter, or in that varied talent which a whole, corps of editor and conductors can present over the labors of one individual who has to work unaided and alone. Yet the city paper can not take the place of the country paper in narrating the many- local incidents which give life, spice and vivacity to the local herald of town or County. If any thing worthy of note occurs, the county paper must notice it ahd give an abstract of all public demonstrations. The proceedings of our courts, the results of elections, the marriages, deaths.' conventions, nublio meet ings and everything else of local note all find place within its columns if properly prepared and laid before the publisher. Beside these there are many things or a business charac ter in the advertisements which make a local paper quite a desirablaperiodical visitor in every tamily. lne uourt and JUection Proclamations, SherifFs sales, Executors, Administrators and other legal notices, pub lic vendues and private sales, besides a hun dred other things which our merchants, manufacturers and business men are con stantly spreading before the public, all find their proper place within the columns of the local paper, ; and by many are perused in quest of the very inlbrmation thus made public. Abstracts of btate and National affairs and as much general reading as space will admit are always given, but the readers of a local paper must not forget that in smaii counucs uie advertisements are tne publishers main chance for support and the best way to get more rjadin.? matter is to in crease his circulation, pay up back dues and enable him to make ends meet without a resort to begging or encroachment upon the rights of others. Load affairs of public in terest should be freely communicated from various neighborhoods, and thus an interest would be kept up which would make every subscriber feel that his county paper was not a needless expense, but a necessity which he must Kaye, independent of all other ex- Enses for literature, news,science or fancied surics. The county paper should be well sustained and if every one could feel a wil lingness to aid in such an important desider atum, its cost would be but a small matter but would always be promptly paid in ad vance. Tunkhannock Republican. Great Fire in. New York. The "Academy of Music," the first grand opera house in the United States, the "Opera House," the "New York Medical University," a large piano-forte factory, an extensive bakery and restaurant, and several dwellings were destroyed by fire on the 22d inst. The conflagration is said to have been the most disastrous in the annals of the metropolis. That it was the result of delib erate, villainous intent, there appears to be but little doubt. At last accounts the pub lic are busied in ascertaining the cause of the diabolical act There is great unanimity in the suspicions raised ; and ere this news reaches our readers, it is hoped that the in cendiaries shall have Iecn arrested. It has been positively ascertained that phosphorus was copiously used by the incendiaries, both under the floor of the parquet of the Acad emy, and ia the gallery nearest the roof. Its total destruction was clcirly intended, as the fire was set simultaneously. Three firemen were crushed amid the ruins. It is now being made a question, says the Patriot & Union, whether Gen. Geary's military record should commence at the time when a friendly ditch t-heltered him from the balls that came from Chepultepec; or at the time when a Kansas ruffian spat in his face and scared him into the John Brown party ; or at the time when he retreated before a rumor that Stonewall Jackson was about ; or when he grievously taxed traitors in Vir ginia with his I. O. . U's ; or. at the time when he donated to Philadelphia the captu red ordnanc spittoon of Harper's Ferry ; or at the time when he swore terribly at two peaceable citizens for speaking disrespectfully of the "colored citizens," and threatened to kick them out of his brother-in-law's house after they had descended the stairs and were passing out ; or anterior to all these at the time when, as "an humble man," he and Joe Hooker had their jolly good times in California. Where shall that record be started or shall there be a fresh start from each point ? S& The Philadelphia Inquirer of the 28th inst, in speaking of the Presbyterian Assembly now in sessicn at Louisville, Ken tucky, says, that " loyalty has become the life of the Church," that the Assembly of 1865 passed a resolution to the effect "that no minister should be employed except those who are strictly loyal;" and then goes on lamenting because he fears the present As sembly will compel that body to go back to the old doctrine and urges them, if the at tempt fchould be made, to vote it down. No wonder our cotemiwrary of the Repub lican has, in his last two issues, been boast ing that we would hear from Mr. Waller, who is a member of the present Assembly. His political harrangm 8 against the South ern people will be something new in Ken tucky, but if attended with the same con sequences there, as here, the Church will be diminished and divided. Give him another puff, Doctor, we haWt heard from him yet. But does he thank you for it? SSf Read our article on the "Poor Ilouse" in to-day's issue. We have, for the three last numbers of our paper, asked the indul gence of our readers in examining the merits and demerits of a County Poor House. We have advocated it3 erelion through no sel fish motives, but becat.se we believe, in ac cordance with our knowledge of other counties in which Pocr Houses have been established, that they are in every instance successful, advantageous and creditable in stitutions. What the people of this county will say, remains to be seen. As it should be, it is submitted to them, and like good citizens we shall be content with their deci sion. It 13 a question, however, in which there ia an honest difference of opinion. 257 Our neighbor of the , Republican should remember thai boasting is not cour age, and that his constant commendation of his paper is not creditable. He has so ha tituated himself to th e shocking custom of magnifying his trifling business transactions that it ia spoken of by nary as obnoxious aaddigusting.

Remntscat in peace Its dying struggles were oiirtress Ingly epasmodic.4 Drs. Sumner, Stevens and Forney, were assiduous in their atten tions upon the dying monster, and one after another administered negro-equality" and anti-Union pills, in the hope that a change for the better would be the result. But no the burly heap of corruption continued to grow worse, and so unpleasant and revolt ing was its appearance that every" honest man felt a strong inclination to rive it a kick, and thus help it on to its dissolution. First the 'President of the United States ran against it, and, without apology, gave it a hearty punch in the ribs, which so sickened it, that it emitted from ' its capacious maw about a ton of pickings and greenbacks that it had stolen from Uncle Sam, and swallow ed to prevent detection. Then Senators Cowan, Doolittle, and others who had be friended it before they discovered its true character, clubbed it over the head most un mercifully. Again, all the members of the President's cabinet, with Seward at .their head, assaulted this beast of Disunion, kick ing and cuffing it, and laughing at the pain they caused it. Finally Secretary Stanton fired a whole volley of fchot and shell into its festering hide, and this finished it. It tot tered, and with a groan against the Union of our fathers, turned up the dirty whites 6f its eyes, and fell into the arms of itsweep ing nurses. Thus died thatmonsterof sin and iniquity, the Republican-disunion party. We cannot and will not say that all its friends were cal culating peculators, but we can say, with truth, that all peculators were its friends. The mourners at its death were those who had betrayed every man and party that had ever trusted them, and now that their politi cal power is gone, thev feel like outcasts and look like men who had accumulated wealth by bartering the life-blood of their country men, and sporting with the tears of widows and orphans.

In the' case of the Commonwealth against several Election Boards of Wayne county, tried in court on Tuesday, Judge Barrett rendered his opinion, emphatically against the constitutionality or legality of the legislation, both in Congress and our State Legislature, attempting to disfranchise so called deserters, and gave warning, through those present, that hereafter no election board in Wayne county,could come into that court and plead ignorance of the law. His remarks were very severe toward Election Boards, here and elsewhere, who endeavor, through malice or otherwise to carry out un constitutional legislation in opposition to the present fixed law of the State.

When the Radicals were in a minor ity in Congress they contended that the lat ter body had no right, under the Constitu tion, to legislate lor the people of the Ter ritories, but insisted that those only who liv ed in a Territory had a right to make its lx-al laws. This was one of the cardinal points in the Republican creed, and no two men in the country more loudly clamored for this principle than Stevens and Sumner. Now they are in the majority in Congress, and in the most shameless manner they abandon their old principle, claim the right to do the very thing they themselves denounced before, aud havp decided that negroes shall vote in the Territories without any reference what ever to the will or wishes of the citizens of the same. Age. How the Disunionists Carried Wil LLiMsroRT. A few days ago the disunion organs heralded a victory (the only one in the State) at the local election in Wil- liamsport, Lycoming co. Wood's majority for mayor was announced as 129 a gain of 200. It is true that the Democrats formerly carried the citv, but the new charter went in- to operation last yeai adding one whole ward to the citv. which, beinsr lareclv Re publican, enabled the opposition to poll 204 majority for Hartranft last fall. Wood's majority this spring, is only 104, (not 129,) which hows that the Disunionists, insteaa f f securing a victory have lost one hundred of tlie majority which the new charter had secure! to them 1 lnus tne only spring victory lor the iJiauniorusts turns out to be, in reality, a defeat. The new charter was made to deprive the Democracy of the city government, but another year will likely up trip that arrangement. Patriot and Vnion. 82?" Gens.

The division of the Democratic partv was the disruptionof the Union. The restoration of the Union will follow that of the Democracy, for the Democracy are the Sople, and their union is the Union. The emocratic party has no boundaries but the cxtremest confines of the Republic no riv ers sever it, no mountain chains divide it,no State lines limit it The Canadas, the Gulf and the two oceans are its only circuravalla- tions. A man cannot be half honest or half patriotic. He whose patriotism extends over only one-half the country, and stops at the Fotomac or the Ohio, is at heartadisumon- 1st ; and he who hates halt ot its population is an enemy, if not a traitor, to the entire Union.
