Address, W. H. JACOBY',
Bloomsburg, Columbia County. Pa
ME=E=!
Democrats, you remember that during the
last campaign our "Republican" friends
denied the charge that they are in favor of
negro suffrage and equality. Since that
time both Houses of Congress passed a bill
to force negro suffrage upon 63 people of
the District of Columbia; at the last election
held there a few weeks since the negro
voted. We want every man of you to put
this fact into the ear of his "Republican"
neighbor now, as you have positive proof
of u'l you said in regard to this subject.—
You possess the advantage of having truth
on your side. Make use of that advantage.
Bring it home to every "Republican" in
the country .
Finding the people will not support the
leaders of the "Blockhead" party in their
pet measures, negm suffrage and equality
at their late Convention at W illiatnsport,
the nigger is bid in the wood pile again to
deceive the people till after the election
But recollect what we told you before last
election. Here is an act passed by the last
Radical Legislature of our own State, degrad
ing the poor white people of Pennsylvania
to a level with the negro :
An act making it an offense fn. railroad
corporations within this Commonwealth to
make any distinction with their passengers
an account of race or color, and punishing
said corporations and their agents and em
ployees for the commission of such offense,
approved March 22 1867.
Section 1. Be it enacted, That on
and after the passage of this act any railroad,
or railway corporations within this Common
wealth that shall exclude, or allow to be ex
cluded by their agents, conductors, or em
ployees ftom any of their passenger cars any
person or persons on account of color or race
or that shall refuse to carry in any of their
cars thus set apart any person or persons on
account of color or race, or that shell for
ouch reasons compel or attempt to compel
any person or persons to occupy any par
ticular part of any of these cars set apart
for the accommodation of people as pitmen
gem, shall be liable to an action of debt to
the person thereby iejured or aggrieved io
the sum of five hundred dollars, the same
to be recovered in an action of debt as like
amounts are now by low recoverable.
Section 2. That any agent, conductor or
employe( of any railroad or railway corpo
ration within this Commonwealth, who shall
exclude, allow to be excluded, or assist in
the exclusion from any of their oars set apart
for the accommodation of passengers, any
person or persons on account of color or
race, or who shall refuse to carry such person
or persons on account of color or moo, or
who shall throw any cars from the track,
thereby preventing persona ftom riding,
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon the conviction thereof shall pay a
fine not exceeding five hundred dollars nor

Who Told the Truth.
BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA CO., PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1867.
An African female who with her husband,
came aboard the brig ;North Star, Captain
Glentome, while the vessel lay oif and on
the coast of Guinea, a few months mince,
related in broken English the following
particulars :
While bathing her boy, a youngster of
seven years, in the waters of a stream not
far from the coast, the little fellow suddenly
broke from her grasp and was carried by the
current towards the opposite shore. Young
as be was the child could swim, and he
boldly struck nut for the bank. At the
same moment the frightened mother saw
an enormous crocodile creeping along the
bank, half hidden by the long reeds, as if
for the purpose of seizing the boy the mo•
went he should land.
With all the power of her lungs the poor
woman screamed to the child, apprising
him of his danger, and begging him to re
turn. Unfortunately he dove just as she
shouted, and therefore did not hear her un
til he rose to the surface close to the bank,
and within reach of the fearful monster
among the reeds.. The crocodile suddenly
thrusting out its ugly head—the jawssbrist
ling with sharp teeth—endeavored to seise
the boy. The youngster perceiving his
danger dove ; but as he did so the crocodile
also plunged under water, and the horrified
mother, vainly watching for the reappear
ance of her son, concluded that ho had be
come the prey of the ferocious monster.
For two hours she remained upon the bank,
wailing, shrieking and bemoaning the loss
of her boy. She saw the crocodile, just as
she was about going hon:, emerge
the water and crawl slowly off among the
reeds, as if well satisfied with its feast.
In her agony the bereaved mother plung
ed into the water, and wading to the oppo
site bank, rushed after the animal, a drawn
knife in her hand, feeling desirous either to
avenge the loss of the loved one or die in
the attempt. Suddenly she heard a familiar
voice behind her calling her name, and
turning was astonished—almost crazed with
joy—to see her child standing safe and well
upon the bank. As she naught hint in her
arms he gave her to understand that he had
avoided the crocodile, by crawling into an
earth hole in the bank under water, which
was too mall to admit the body of the mon
ster in pursuit.
Difference ha the Shape of Feet.
The New York Nile and Leather Journal
notices a few of the differences in the shape
of the pedal extremities of people in various
sections of the country.
Shoes made for one locality are not adapt.
ed for all, For instance, a broad shoe, wide
at the shank, is hest adapted to the Eastern
trade, a narrow sole meeting with but little
favor. Rhode Island, though the smallest
Stnte in the Union, can boast of having
some re the biggest feet that ever trod
m;e•leather. The Middle States require
slimmer shoes and higher in tile instep than
the East. The insteps grow 'higher as we
progress Southward, commencing with
Virginia, and the foot shorter and more
plump. Rarely at the North, does a full
grown man wear less than No. 9, running
up in the scale of sizes to No. 11; but at
the South, many a full sized man wears
Burs and fives and seldom over nines.
The ladies of the South, says the Char
lestown Curie• has confessedly always had
the smallest and prettiest feet of any race in
the world.
Two SUNDAYS EVERY WEER.—The
United States of America always was "the
greatest nation in creation," as everybody
who has ever witnessed a Fourth of' July
oration well knows. But since our annex
ation of the Russian possessions, we have
taken one more step ahead. Other, and
less happy, great and powerful nations have
their peculiar points of which to boast.
England brags that the sun never sets on
her flag; France that her eagle have flown
in every capital of Europe. But the United
States can now boast of the most wonderful
act of all—a fact that no other nation can
ever approach, and may not hope to rival.
We have . now in this happy Republic, two
Sundays every week. As now may be Peen
by the following extract from Mr. Sumner's
pamphlet of our 'new Russian purchase :
"As the settlement of this coast came east
ward from RUES* bringing with the Russian
flag western time, the day is earlier by
twenty-four hours with them than with us,
so that their Sunday is our Saturday, and
the other days of the week are in corres
ponding discord. This must be rectified
adtPoding to the national meridian, so that
there shall be the same Sunday for all, and
the other days of the week shall be in cor
responding harmony."
JOAK ON A CONECTABLL —A "cute" state
constable at Plymouth, meeting a tin ped
dler, asked him if he had a lioense to sell.
"No," was the reply. • The constable hast
ened to procure a warrant and after a long
day's search found the offending itinerant
and brought him before a magistrate.
When, as a matter of fbrtn, he was asked
whether he was rillty, ho quietly answered
"not guilty !" "Don't you peddle goods
around here?" said the judge. "Yes."
"Well then, sir, have you a license?" "Oh
yes." "Why, didn't you tell thisgentlenian
that you had no license ?" "No, sir," said
the peddler. "Ye you did," shouted the
Tipstaff. "No I didn't," quietly replies
the peddler. "I s—r I didn't," still per
sists the peddler. "Well what did you
tell me then ?" "You asked me if I had a
license to sell, and I told you I hadn't, and
I haven't a license to sell," continues the
peddler in an injured tone, "for I want to
keep it to peddle with."
A SINGULAR ESCAPE.
VIVA LA sirmium.ortm LA COE.
RVIPTION.
The nomination of Henry W. Williams,
of Connecticut, for Judge of the Supreme
Court, by the "Blockhead" Williamsport
Convention, was a great triumph for the
old Winnebago chief; Cameron. The Cam
eron wing in the Convention was led by
Wayne MeVeagh, Esq., of Chester, Win
nebago's son-in-law, who was assisted by
Ned McPherson, the Clerk of Thad. Ste
veil's Rump ongress. The opponents of
Cameron ha'►n. B. Mann, of PhiWel
phia, as their captain. Williams was the
Cameron candidate for judge, and M• Rus
sel Thayer, of the city, was the anti-Cam
eron eandidate. Simon, as usual, triumph
ed, whether by the same means that he us
ed last winter when he was elected U. S.
Senator, we know not but the anti-Cam •
eron men hint very broadly that Williams
was unfairly nominated.
When Cameren, last winter, secured his
election to the Senate over Curtin and oth
ers, he was spoken of by more 'than two
thirds of the Radical• Jacobin journals of
the State as one of "the most corrupt men
in the Commonwealth, who disgraced and
demoralized every party whose cause he pre
tended to espouse ;" and they asserted in
plain words, that he bought his election
with green-backs. Now, as Williams is the
fast friend, the Protege of Cameron, and
owes his nomination to him, can the friends
of Curtin a*l others, who wore candidates
for U. S. Senator last winter, and who, ow
ing to Cameron's great wealth and free use
of green-backs, were so unmercifully slaugh
tered--cenlhey support the imported Yan
kee for Judge of the Supreme Court? By
doing so, they strengthen Cameron's hands
and augment his power, which power be
will use against them with relentless vigor.
If they are wise and desire to stop this
bold, bad man in his infamous career, they
will refuse to give their support to the Con
necticut schoolmaster, who has been select
ed by him Aar the highest judicial position
in the State. Let them act as Cameron
acts when his enemies receive nominations.
He strikes them at the polls. Let us see
now whether the Radical editors who but a
few months since, declaimed so vehemently
against Cameron's corrupt practices, have
the pluck to rebuke hint, now that an op
portunity is presented. If they desire to
be considerate and inconsistent, they cannot
and will not support Williams. Let them
then, for once -SO repeat, show a little inde
pendence and refuse their sanction to the
old Winnebago's arrangements. Beyond
all question or doubt, Judge Stanwood,
the candidate of' the people, will be elected
by a sweeping majority. This is an admit
ted fact, a forgone conclusion, and this is the
time for those independent Republicans who
despise the trickery, chicanery and corrup
tion of Cameron. to place their seal of con
demnation upon him and his doings. Will
they do it? We will see.—Carlisle Volum
leer.
loung Ken in Society.
A modest and virtuous young man, oa
first going into society, is apt to be sorely
perplexed upon the question how to make
himself agreeable to ladies. He need not
be ashamed of hisrerplexity. Washington
Irving, in one of his early sketches, con
fesses that a well dressed lady was as ob
ject perfectly "awful" to his young imag
ination. We were once acquainted with a
gentleman of distinction in public life. the
father of several accomplished daughters.
who could not, even to his fiftieth year, en
ter a drawing-room where ladies were pres
ent without painful embarrassment. It is
certainly a good sign for a young man to
stand in some awe of the beautiful sex. A
person of coarse and vulgar mind, who thinks
more of himself than his best friends think
of him, and who knows little of the worth
of a good woman's heart, rushes fearlessly
in where an Irving or an Addison would
blush to tread. Bear this in mind, young
gentlemen who blush and stammer in the
company.of' young ladies ; the girls are as
much afraid of you as you are of ttem.—
You are awkward in your manners, you
think. If you think so, it is likely that
your fair friends think otherwise, for the
really ill-bred fellows that We have never
suspected their ill-breeding. And after all
what is good breeding but habitual good na
ture ? The simple fact that you wish to
please is a proof that you posse's, or will
soon acquire the power to do so. The good
heart and well-informed mind will soon give
grace to the demeanor, or will so abundantly
atone for the want of it, that is absence
will never be noticed. Besides, the ladies
—that is, most of them—like a man who is
simple in his manners, provided that they
see that there is substance and worth in
him. Graceful manners and ready wit are
good as far as they go. But be sure of
this, 0 bashful, blushing youth, that in the
society of ladies and of men, you will pale,
in the long run, for what you are worth—no
more—no less. The art of pleasing there
fore, is nothing more than the art of becom
ing an honest, kind, intelligent and high
minded man. Such a man, be he graceful
as Chesterfield or awkward as Callihan, all
worthy women trust and love.

Adventure With a Coral Intake.
The coral snake of Central America is
the most deadly in existence. After its bite
there is no time even to attempt a cure, the
victim falls instantly, his blood coagulates,
end he soon b4cotnes a lifeless mass of pu
tridity. There is no mistaking this terrible
creature, which is made manifest not only
by it. bright-red color, lout by its body being
of an almost uniform thickness from head
to tail. Mr. Byatu thus relates his adven
ture with one of these reptiles :
"An Indian dressed in a pair of loose
drawers, with a coarse poncho over his head
lay down on his back on the side of an emi
nence near the path to sleep. He was
awakened by something crawling over hie
leg. It was a coral, and gliding up his
drawers, the reptile went to eleep upon his
stomach. To move, almost to breathe, was
death ; but what to do 1 Even if travelers
passed by, the first touch of theii friendly
hand would be the signal for the emir to
sink its deadly fangs into his flesh. Tot
this was his only chance of escape, slight
as it might be, and after enduring unspeak
able mental agonies, for what was to him an
immeasureable time, he actually heard foot
steps approach. He called out. The foot
steps hastened—but hastened on—the pass
er-by taking the voice to be that of the de
coy of some marauding Indians.
"Another came and passed, and another ;
till at length the poor wretch could only
moan inarticulately as he heard the tramp
of a horse. The rider saw him, and draw
ing near, observed distinctly the form of
the snake, which was three feet long, be
neath his drawers. Ile dismounted, and
taking a pair of scissors from his saddle
bags, cut gently the cloth till the creature's
head was visible as it lay fast asleep. He
immediately seized it by the neck and threw
it suddenly off, but, it was some little time
before the rescued Indian recovered suffi
ciently from his prostration both of mind
and body to comprehend his safety, or even
to be able to stand."
True as Preaching.
If men and women are willing to live
within their income!, disposed to begin life
at the bottom of the laddl i r, obey the pri
mary impulses of their nature, and enter
upon the cares, trial., and pleasures of the
domestic circle, bind their hearts and twine
their hopes around the family altar, they
would be greatly the gainers. But here
comes the dilEculty—they must live when
they begin, Just as others are living, or in
better style perhaps, who for thirty or for
ty years have been carefully and economi
callyjourneying along until they found they
could afford to show off a little, It would
be well if our modern lair ones were more
willing to do as Eve did, when, with a new
creation smiling around her, she and her
husband began their housekeeping. We
don't believe she thought the house would
look too common without a velvet tapestry
on her prior or sitting room floors, nor do
we believe she had a chambermaid to nurse
anl run after little Cain and Abel. There
is little doubt, in ourmind, she made Adam's
trowsers and hemmed his pocket handker
chief, fixed up his Sunday coat, and kept
things, generally, nice and tidy in the house.
While she was doing this Adam, was prob
ably tendlithis flock, or working in the
garden, fencing his potato patch, and at
tending to ont dor things generally. Thus
they got along "right smartly" and econom
ically, berm(' quite Hell and aristocratic,
had many children, Jived to a good old age,
and died among friends. This after all is
the true way for both male and female. Be
gin upon 3 small scale and gradually rise
from that point. Never begin at the top
and tome down. —Augusta Prot

ARISTOCRACY. —One of the parvenu ladies
of Cincinnati, who would be wonderfully
aristocratic in all her domestioconcerne, was
visiting a few days since at the house of Ma
jor G-, (all know the old Major,) when
'after tea, the following conversation occur
red between the Major . ' ladyand "topknot"
in consequence of the hind girl occupying
a wet at the tea table :
"Why, Mr& G---,yon do Dot allow your
hired girl cawing a seat at the tea ta•
ble :
"Most certainly I do. It was so when
you worked for me—don't you recollect?"
This was a "cooler" to silk and satin
greatness, or, as the boy calls it "codfish
aristocracy." After coloring and stammer•
log, she answered in a low voice: "Yes, I
believe it was," and left.

aroused by his wife one night with the cry
of "Get up, hoquem, there's a robber in
the house," calmly answered
"Hush, don't let us diatnrbhim. Let him
ransack the house, and if hmen‘senything
of value we'll get up and take it away from
him,"

The latest received Tennessee papers con
tain full reports of the recut riot at
Franklin in that State. The telegraphic
account of the affair which we published
was substantially correct. The riot, like all
the recent riots in the Southern States, was
Radical in its origin and its objects. There
was a parade of a "colored Loyal League"
of armed negroes who marched about all
day carrying banners inscribed, "Remember
Fort Pillow when you go to the polls," and
"The Radical, build school•houses and the
Conservative, burn them." There was a
good deal of free whisky, *much firing of
muskets in the air, and every indiettion of
an inevitable disturbance. One gentleman
testifies that he went to the League and told
them. they "would provoke a war if they
were not more prudent," and the white
Radicals said, "By God, that's just what we
want."
They had what they wanted, to a limited
extent. The black leaguers, tired tf firing
in the air, assembled in a public square and
poured a volley of bullets into a crowd of
white spectators. Brownlow's commission
er of registration for that county, in his
official report to his master, calls this mur
derous volley "firing a salute"—at least be
dye that was the object of the League's
assemblage in the square; and has heard
that a pistol was fired from the crowd, fol
lowed by two volleys, which wore "instantly
answered by the members from the League,"
with tho following results "One whi
man," says the commissioner, "was instandy
killed, awl about six of the rebel crowd
were wounded, most of them slightly. At
least fourteen of the League were wounded ;
two of them it is supposed mortally." The
coroner's jury mildly say that the riot was
"a gross outrage on the community," . and
that the a ff air ought to be fully investigatetl.
The commissioner of registration requests
Brownlow to "send a company of soldiers
at once."
Of course, this was done. There is no
necessity for a farcical "investigation," since
all the necessary Radical capital is made in
the call for a squad of Browulow's soldiers
to the spotP Possibly, too, Radicalism is
satisfied with the wounding of six of "the
rebel crowd" and the murder of one white
man. These armed Brownlow bandits are
now parading the State. Only one of the
miscreants has been lately shot, end be for
attempting to rob a store. The rest of them
arc ready to do Brownlow's w.rk, August 1,
and to compel whet will he called a "re-elec
tion" of that infamous scoundrel at the
point of the bayonet. Meanwhile, to amuse
their leisure, the armed bands are out raging
women, murdering men, and are plundering
stores and houses, till the actual service for
which they are organized may be needed
This service is too shoot down such citizens
as may approach the polls to vote sga:ust
Brownlow. Congress now holds up Tennes•
sec to the other States as an inviting instance
of thecreedoln and benefits to be derived
from Radical reconstruction.—Sew York

A Clever 'Woman.
Somcyeare ago a female having been sum•
moned before the Courl.of Judicature in
in Calcutta, deposed thin circumstance in
volved in the cause occurred in her presence.
The judge asked where it happened. She
replied
"In the verranda of such a house."
"Pray. my good woman," said the judge,
"how many pillars are there in that veran
da ?"
The woman, not perceiving the trap that
was laid for her, said, without much consid
eration, that the veranda was supported by
four pillars. The counsel for the opposite
party immediately offered to prove that the
veranda contained five pillars, and that, con
sequently, no credit could be given to her
evidence. The woman, perceiving her er
ror, addressed the Judge and said
"My lord, your lordship has for many
years presided in this court, and every day
you come here you ascend a flight of stairs
may I beg to know how many steps these
stairs consist of?"
The judge confessed he did not know.
- Then," replied she, "if your lordship
cannot tell the number of steps you ascend
daily to the seat of jug**, it cannot be as
tonishing that I should forget the number
of pillars in a balcony which I never entered
half a dosenltimes in my life."
The judge was much pleased with the wo
man's wit, and (we presume, according to
the law of the case) decided in favor of her

a lesson the other day from the sermon on

"No, my child, he did not get anything."
"Why didn't they pay him,"
"Because be refused to preach politics.

but be would not accept the eeL"
"When did tits devil offer him the
salary?.
"When be took him up into the mountain
and offered him a kingdom if be would join

him with handcuffs, the officer attaching one
to his own wrist, and the other to the pris

on the train, evincing no disposition to be
troublesome or to make his escape, and was
permitted (the handcuffs being taken off)
several times to go unattended to the water
closet, or saloon. On Friday morning, when
near Blairsville intersection, hfagain went
to the closet by permission. The officers
attention being attracted by a noise he
sought his prisoner and discovered him in
the act of jumping backwards oub the car
window,. having made the leap as the offi
cer endeavored to grasp hold of him. The
train.was stopped, search .made, sad the
prisoner foun lying alongside of the track
insensible. back of his head was crush

minutes. The remains were brought to this
city, and recognised as those of the person

years of age. We could learn nothing con
cerning him. The body was collined and
