What'is the Caine
What is the cause of nine-tenths cf the
wickedness, pauperism and crime, which
are from day to day disturbing the quiet of
the people? It in the use of whisky and
lager beer. These enemies of mankind are
at work throughout the land, and wherever
halted troubles of every grade ensue. Pub
lie and private interests, and public and pri
vate morals are greatly endangered, sod in
many instanced totally destroyed. It is then
that brawls, quarrels, riots, assaults, and
every species of rowdyism commence. And
this sort of' crime oontbut' es ttY grow until
public safety demands the outlay of large
sums of money to build jails and organise
courts of justice. Whisky is an expense
from ifs beginning to the end of its misera
ble victim'. It bring" good to none, but
whenever and wherever it is used as a bev
erage it spreads evil among all: It impov
erishes the inebriate and makes him unfit
for any purpose. It destroys the social re
lations of life, and makes miserable those
who were once happy. It taxes the sober
man and tempt& him to pay out of his
herd-minted money the expense necessarily
incurred in taking care of drunkards and
drunkard's families. The money thus ex
torted out of the pockets of sober people
every year would more than pay the interest
on the public debt, yet the people ode*

AN INSANE MAN KIDNAPS AN INFANT.-
The Racine (Wis. ) Jounial, of the 13th,
gives the particulars of a thrilling incident
which occured on Saturday last, wherein an
insane man stole an infant child and ran fbr
the woods. It says : Mrs. Schmidt, living
near the ootuaty line station, laid her baby
in the cradle, while she attended to some
work which required her attention in the
other part of the house. _ While she was
thus engaged, an insane man who had been
wandering around the neighborhood for a
number of days, went into the house, seiz
ed the child, and ran for the woods. The
mother, hearing the cries of her infant,
rushed to the room, but too late to secure
theehild. Frantically she pursued the man,
Imploring Mm to stop ; but of no avail.—
The man disappeared in the woods, still
holding to the child. Mrs. Schmidt imme
diately roused the neighbors, who armed
therneelves . and started in pursuit. All
night long they Numbed through the , fbr
est but without avail. No traoo of the
man amid be found. The next morning,
about day-light, their search was rewarded.
Attracted by a fire, they hastened to the
spot, and them, warmly covered with leaves
and an old coat. lay the infant asleep, while
the crazy man was singing' a harsh lullaby.
As the pursuers approached, to sprang to
his feet with a wild yell, and with savage
oaths and shoats tried to ietitnirlate them.
The mother, all unmindf‘d of the danger,
rushed passed him and clasped ber ltifknt
to her breast. The crazy man sprang to
ward her with an uplifted club, but before
he could strike he was seised by her friends,
and after a desperate struggle overpowered.
Watching his opportunity he broke away
from his captors and fled.

Some short
.i s* ex t
robbery was oennnitted At s Inbrehibuse lb
the city. I was sent to examine the prem
ises, and see if I could make anything out
of it. I found the proprietors of the ware•
house in great excitement. The robbery
had been managed so adroitly that no trace
of it had. been left. A large quantity of
costly silks, worth twenty thousand dollars
at the lowest figure, bad been taken from
the prewiß4 ; but no trams of the thieves
had been left behind. The proprietors
(four in number) were in elotte eonsultation
in their private office and were completes
bewildered by the audacity as weU as neat
ness of the affair. In a abort time I found
that they suspected one of their clerks ; and
I a.-Ited theta to summon him to the office,
without giving hint any cause to sweet the
reason of the sinnuions. In a fow minutes
he came in, and I almost burst , ont into a
laugh as I raw him. The fellow was as in
norent of the crime as I was; and I told
the merchants so.
I agreed to undertake the ease, upon the
conditions that I was to manage it entirely
in my own way, and have six weeks to try
it in. I made the merchants furnish me
with sample pieces of the silks they had
lost, and told them to announce in a few
days that they had abandoned all hope of
recovering the goods, These preliminaries
being arranged I took my departure. I bad
not much hope of recovering the goods, for
the work had been done so wisely that I bed
nothing to begin. I went home, and began
to run over in my mind all the various eases
in which I had ever been engaged. I could
not remember any of the professional thieves
who had been engaged in such matters, who
could boast skill enough to cover up their
Aram' so perfectly. The whole affair seem
ed involved in a hopeles mister!, and for
the first tune in my life I was completely
baffled.
While in till+ frame of mind, I was called
on by my auponntandent to examine into a
eau connected with a theft in one of the
fashionable houses of a certain character in
a certain street in Pimlico. While there I
wont into the room of one of the lodgers,
and there found a young woman making a
handsome silk dress. The appearance of
saireeetned familiar to me ; and I very qui
ellindiew out the samples I had been given
I)Y.the merchants, and compared them with
the dress. To my astonishment and delight
I found that the dress was the same material', '
I made up my mind quietly asto my court%
aed rising from my seat walked to the dose
locked it, and put the key in my poeicit.4 o
The young woman looked up in astMlishir
meat and alarm.
,• vj
"What do you meap by that?" she
excitedly.
"I mean," I replied, coolly, "that I arrest
you upon the charge of stealing that silk
dress.",
Her hoe grew as white as death, and she
sprang to her het in alarm. She protested
her innocence, and then told me how the
oonle to postage the silk. She opened her
wardrobe, end showed me three other
dreams she had Ana& up, each of which
corresponded with the samples I had with
me. The story she told me made me open
my oyes, mucla an I had wen of the rascal
ity of the world ; but it also convinced me
that the woman was perfectly innocent of
any dishonest intention or sot. She had
been victimised. I explained her posi
tion to her, and told her that to fare
herself she must Identify the thief:—
This she consented to, and we bundled ttp
the silk drawee, and met off hr the w
house. I was in high ea Ibe I had eab►
eeeded far beyond my expectations.
When we'reactied tha warehouse we werg
shown into the private offtee of the senior
Ruiner. I made him eall in two of his
partnere, and then luck the door. Then
Laid out the dress on a chair before them,
amidst their exclantatious of wonder.
"By the way," I exclaimed, "where's
the junior partner? I have not seen him."

When the Irish people throughout the

countless thousands of their brave youth
flung the Emerald standard to the breeze
and vowed that came what would, through

The echoing tread of the Fenian Legions
on the shores of Lake Michigan, and on the

The Bondholigerto Conventie
sad Candidate.
It is evident from the proceeding of the
Chicago Convention that that body was en
tirely controlled by the bondholders and
National bankers, a large number of whom
were in the Convention ; everything was
shaped to suit them. They already hail the
candidate, General Grant, who it will be
remembered, received his nomination at a
meeting of wealthy and powerful bondhold
ers and National Bankers in Now York.
These bondholders and bankers, in order to
recompense General Grant for any pecuniary
sacrifice which he would make by giving up
his twenty thousand dollars a year life °Moe
which be now holds for a four year Presi
dency at $25,000 s year, have agreed to
raise him a purse of half a million of dol•
flue. If Grant, therefore should be elected,
he will be under pecuniary obligations to
the bondholders and National Bankers to
aid thew to rob the people. Having thus
secured Grant the nest move of these priv
ileged classes was to take possession of the
Chicago . Convention, and fix up the plat
form to suit their interest. This they have
done. Read the following resolution :
" 5. The Nadeaul debt, contracted as it
has been, for the preservation of the Union
fur all time to come, should be extended
over a fair period ftir redemption; and it is
the duty of Congress to rednoe the rate of
interest thereon, whenever it can Lonesdy
be done."
The above is remarkable fur what it leaves
out, as wo shall proceed to show, as for
what it oontaina lu the first place, the
policy of delay in the payment of the debt
is inculcated. The delay is cloaked under
the spacious words that its "payment shall
be extended over a fair period for redemp
tion," and we may be sure that the authors
of that resolution mean to make the "fair"
a very long period.
In the meantime the people are to be
burdened with the annual drain of $120,-
000,000 in gold each year, by way of interest
—a sum which in fifteen years would amount
to the principal inielf. The bondholders
and bankers would be largely profited by
this delay of payment, in the same ratio
that the people would be injured by it.
There is no promise to the people that the
debt, whenever it is paid, shall be paid in
the currency in which it was created—mak
ing no such promise—the inference ii.elear
that if the Chicago ideas prevail, these
bonds are to be paid in gold. The differ
ence between gold and greenbacks, in which
bonds are legitimately payable, now amounts
on the bonds to 1180),000,000. This is the
magnificent gratuity which is to be given to
this privileged class. Not a word is said in
the platform against the present system of
two currencies—greenbacks for the people
and gold for the bondholders and bankers.
The Convention could see nothing wrong in
this discrimination, whereby certain favored
classes are to receive thirty cents more on '
each dollar of the debt due them than they
pay to the farmer, mechanics and laborers
whom they owe. Under the policy of delay
in the payment of the debt, this outrageous
discrimination against the people will also
be perpetuated.
The Chicago Convention, having thus
neglected to speak out for the people on
this question, the greater will be the re
sponsibility upon the New York Convention
to meet this issue fairly and squarely, and
to denounce, in proper terms, this proposal
to rob the people of nearly a thousand mil
lions to enrich a favored class.—Cincinnati
Enquirer.
The Chicago Platform.
Plank No. 2 in the platforui constructed
by the Radical Convention at Chicago is as
follows :
The guarantee by congress of equal staff•
rage to all loyal men at the South was de•
manded by every consideration of public
safety, of gratitude and of justice, and must
be maintained, while the question of suff
rage in all the loyal States properly belongs
to the people of those States.
We oonfess our inability, says the Wash
ington Express, to see how any honest, fair
minded man can endorse this extaordinary
doctrine. If the Southern States are States
at all, they have the same right to regulate
the question of suffrage within their own
limits as those of the North. If they are.
not States, how is it that they are allowed
to ratify amendments to the Constitution of
the United States—a flanetion that can only
be exercised by a State? The simple fact is,
the Radical party leaders are cifraid to de
clare in favor of negro suffrage, by act of
Congress or otherwise, in nine•tenths of the
Ito-tailed loyal States ; but availing them :
selves of the dofeueeless condition of the
South, ruled by five military despots, they
over-ride the constitution, and by the ooer
dive power of the bayonet confer upon
four millions of nogroes the elective fran
ohisd, which in several of the Southern
States gives them absolute political so
premar7. We do not believe that the in
telligent and patriotic people of this oountry
will support any such platform, no matter
what candidates may stead upon it.

Pennsylvania In the New York
Convention.
Alluding to the delegater I= this State
to the National Democratio Convention,
Hon. W. S. Garvin, editor of the Mercer
1-'reu eve :
"The Act, if lie a:Liket, that eiiiteall.aw
jority of owe State dagentien nee ass fatter-
able to Mr. Pasdieton sad his financial pro
position, and are in favor of some man
whom only rooommendation is that be never
was committed to a Democratic principle, is
no reason why the Pendleton element in our
State should find no expreision at New
York on the Fourth of July. If the Man
batten Club of that city, the President
making politicians at Washington, sad all
tho bondholders' interest of the United
States, were concentrated in Penosyivania,
they would have no right to dictate to the
people of this district who they should sup
port for the nomination. Our people arc
not ambitions of having any public senti
ment that may obtain east of the mountains
being allowed to overslaugh the preference
of the West. Never in the history of the
party were we more united on a candidate
than we are on Pendleton. Our delegates
wore selected with the express understand
ing that they were either to support Mr.
Pendleton or some man openly and avowed
ly in favor of that financial polies , of which
he is the father. If our delegates are de
sirous of representing the wishes of their
conatituetsts, and we have no reason for
thinking the contrary, they will render Mr.
Pendleton cordial and earnest support, vo
ting for him continuously and urging his
nomination with their very best ability, re
gardless of the dictation of men whom they
do not represent- If our State delegation
should determine to support a "unit" other
than Mr. Pendleton it is a duty they owe to
the Democracy of this Congressional district
to repudiate such action and give expression
to the power from whom they derived their
agency. We can imagine no satisfactory
excuse for a different coarse, and apprehend
that if our delegates should fail in giving us
representation and in carrying out the unan
imous desire of oar hearts, that they will
not receive that hearty endorsement at home
which is eo acceptable to a man anxious to
carry out the wishes of his employers. On
the other band, by standing up manfully for
the right, by continually bearing in mind
that they arc not delegated to represent
either their own peculiar views or the views
of another and distant part of the State,
but to represent, and represent alma, the
united voice of their constituency, they will
receive such approval as must be most sat
isfactory to men who conscientiously dis
charge the duties entrusted to their care.
"These ideas are suggested, not by any
lack of confidence in the integrity of Judge
Church or of Mr. Corbett, but through the
belief that an effort is being made to over•
laugh the western part of the State, and
that it is our duty to state distinctly and at
once that we will not stand it. The people
are too much aroused to have their voice
stifled in this manner. The politicians
should be made to know that delegates aro
not sent to oonvcntions as automations for
the convenience of that portion of the State
which may be the stronger, but that they
are sent to proclaim, through their votes, to
the Democracy of the whole United States,
whom they wish as their standard bearer.
If our voice should be with tho minority we
cannot resist and remain in the organization,
but we do not propose submitting to having
no voice at all."
The Cootie of Hard Thum
At the last session of the Rump Congress
one million and a half of dollars were ap
propriated to carry out the misnamed re
construction acts. This vast sum was en
tirely expended in subsidising the names
to Radicalism. The present deficiency bill
paned by the Rump appropriates the addi
tional rum of 5857,0(x), as follows : Ist dis
trict $50,000; 2d district, $110,000; 3d
district, $97,000; 4th district, $150,000;
sth district, $250,000. The total thus far
expended to merely "convert the negroes
and pay the election officers, registers, &c.,
has been $2,157,000 I—two million ono hun
dred and fifty-seven thousand dollars I This
is entirely exclusive of the wet of the fined
men'e Bureau and the soldiery. This awe
gated, for the pa* year, eighty-nine million
dollars—the sum formerly appropriated—
and $3,855,800 now asked for the Bu
reau and $12,000,000 for the Quartermas
ter's Department, as deficiencies—making
a total cost of $104,836,000. Fully one
hundred millions of this vast sum were
expended to carry out the Rump "policy"
of aegro reconstruction.
It is not any wonder that hard times have
come upon the country in oonsequenoe of
such reckless expenditure. Bat the end is
not yet. The espouse accounts has by no
means closed. The Southern States have
become so prostrated industrially under the
measures used to "reconstruct" them, that
many years must elapse before they can re
cover sufficiently to support themselves. I n
'the meantime Northern labor and enterprine
must be taxed more heavily not only to
"govern" those States but to make up to
the Federal Trtasury the deficiency caused
by their noteproduetiveuetio. Will this
"pay?" Let every Northern business man
mechanic and laborer put the question to
himself. Let him ask his Radical neighbor
