Near Seven Star Tavern, ) Aug. 14, 1SS0. My Dear Mr. Edilcr; When I dropped my pen last Saturday tiiht, I promised vou that my neSt letter sliuuld be aboiit Han cock, the soMicT, that my old friends, the Knights of the Golden Circle, expect to use to help therh iatd pbfrer, and m hen they have him in the Presidential chair, and a Congress to suit, to pass such legislation and get such decisions from the Supreme Court as will set the Lost Cause, the cause Vjf the Johnnie Reus, on its feet. Yes, I expected to write to you about Hancock, but when I got to the Stars, they were just finishing up Tanner ; that is, they bad the correct story that ha got through with the fait and went into thevictuils like old Andy Jackson went into the red cats below New (Weans. I wanted to gal llar.cock bilore the crowd, but they were Khy. I don't iuite understand it, but my old Mends are not so free in their talk about him. hen young fellow and a young lass hurry off the nice words about Malinda Maria, or FiU doodle Barny, it i.i well understood that Maria and Mr. FUzdoodlc have a tender ache, but when Fitzdoodlc and Maria ir.g mum, that's an end of iU Well, that's what my Hd Hickory friends did ; they sang mum on Hancock. I think they're awful sick of him. But if they said nothing about Han cock, they went ii on whisky, that is, they talked about whisky. Old Andy, yon know, ence in a while took a snooker, but 5c had no patience with the fellow that would get drunk. He said that the man who gets tlrunk is a fool. We never had such a talk on whisky, excepting when a teetotler comes vound, or sends his tracts down here. Such things always gets up a boom on drinks in this neighborhood. They all talked as if tfrey are against whisky. For a while I did cot understand what was under it, but after a while one of the friends got out a news jpaper and read that a fellow in the West, that was put into the Penitentiary, has pub lished a long piece of how a whisky ring vas formed wheu Grant was President, and how Babcock and other fellows that were near President Grant were into the ring, and how they cheated the government out of tax, or whisky revenue, and how they used the money that was raised 6n whisky for political purposes, and how it was to be Used to re-elect Grant. It was an awlul long story, and would take nearly all night to tell it, and the truth is that when I got way tor home I felt as if I might sing, Ve won't go home till morning." When they got Grant mixed ' with the whisky, that is, the whisky question, they were so touched that I really thought they were about to drop a lile-long habit, and turn to bo temperance reformers; but a. we drifted into the question I found that it was because the story runs that Grant was cou pled with the whisky frauds that they were excited. My friends down hero are mnch like Andy was when he talked about Cal houn. Andy would always get excited over the mention of Calhoun's name, and that', the way with the Knights of the Golden Circle. When they hear the mention of Grant', name they get mad, excited, be cause he licked the rebels. That's the "long and the short of it, and I do Indeed be lieve that if they really believed that Grant had to do with the whisky business that they would turn around and preach temperance and .mash up their whisky mills. Now, my boy, I don't want you to get mixed op So that you won't know head from tail in this flood of story that the frieuds of the Johnnies are letting loose on the country. Ton see they are putting all kinds of lie. afloat ao a to catch all kind, of people and make vote, lor Hahcock. That's the milk !n the cocoanuL 'Vtbat, tell me, do my old fiiends care about the whisky business fur thtr than to make it, .ell it, and drink it. To be ure, I do believe Ibat a whUky ring was formed during the war, when every oth-jr bad thing was gotten np. Bad things thrive during a .tate of war; and here again, when you go to the nrst cause you must see that the first cause of the whisky ring was the tax on whisky, and the cause cr the tax was the war, and the cause of the war was slavery and the Democracy. The anti Jackson- part of the Democracy were the chaps that started the rebellion. So that in tact all the debauchery that the whiskey ring brought about must be charged to my old wayward friends. It make, ray heart ache to ay bo, but I can't help it ; what is truth, is truth. Old Andy alway. laid that. I teU you that on the judgment flay the Democracy will trad that alt the de bauchery that grew out of the war U charged against them, and that they have nothing to balance ii with. I forget the name of the penitentiary bird that has published the statement that Grant was in the whisky ring. He get near to Wrant In hi, ,(., . . . , . . ; ,. . i " puis ao near to 1 b" "n thrt 'n,7 Gt C,;-1noD8. close enough to not be "other man doe. wao went to ,he White Uonse He g.v.

The thief -no was getting rich in the whisky fraud business no more.barg.med With tlrant as to the whisky ring transactions, than Grant bargained with the Sultan of Turkey for the purchase of the Ottoman Empire. By the statement or the man ho cheated the gov ernment out of whii4y revenue no bargain waa made with Grant Tbo bargain ... always made with Babcock ; Babcock waa tuenian; he wa. the unfaithful h;.n thai stood near to Grant Men often ret into responsible place, and are not true to the men who put them in place. OhLAndy had to change his whole cabinet because the? got to kicking oer the traces here acd tBehs, on various subjects. To-day the men who are kicking np such a du.t because one or more of Grant's cabinet was cnraired in f h4 Ili.L-r ...I ... , . .' .. j ii.uu uumcsj ana in uie Indian the ships of the Navy of the governmeut, ai.d another one was engaged in stealing guns with which to arm a new goverineut and start rebellion. If they know anything they know that the whisky frauds were great wr'jfcg-, but they grew out of ths first frauds or thefts of the Buchanan adminis tration. Old Hickory would Say so if be could talk to us to-night. But if Babcock and Belknap were unfaithful as ministers to Grant, and were running an underhanded game of their own, it is not the first time that such scamps got into place, and shut the eye of their master while they were wronging some one else. It is often done in lamiiies. I could name people in this community who have been wronged by their own children. I could name parents who have had unfuthfiil children, and when the children were suspected of wrong and were challenged, they persistently deried iU I coma tell you of girls who loved unwisely, and deni'i-i their misstep till denial was of no use. I could till ot sons who forged their father's name and denied their bad work till denial was of no use. So it is in matter, of state. Old Hickory said it was eo, and hi. experience taught him. It is no uncommon thing for 4 Governor, a Presid'an', a King to get a man or two into hi. political household that should not be in it. I could state many cases in these time, when snth th:n(rl took place, when the trusted officer used the name of his mas ter to carry Cn things that his master or en. plover knew nothing of. Last week when talking about Tanner I referred to the Bible. I will speak of it again. It is the greatest of boofts. It gives pictures ol every shade of human character, and it gives us a char acter of a minister like Pabcrrk, who was in high favrr, &n-i who was d-ing things that should not have been done. Old Andy read the Bible a great deal. It was the looking-gIas that he looked rrto to find a likeness as to what humankind will do. Do you know bow a number of ministers con spired together to nlih Daniel, and how they got the king into certain wrong things, when he was as fur removed from the spirit of doing wrong as Heaven is removed from Hell. Vou have not forgotten how Haitian, another trusted minister or cabinet officer of a king, stood so close to the king, and bad his confidence to such a degree that he got Ahasuerus worked up to the dreadful wrong of issuing an order to slay all of the Jews in the kingdom. Minister Uaman was a Conspiring fellnw, and his plan of murder included even Queen Esther, for the order was to kill all the people of that certain na tion within tha limits of the k!ng2om. The plan was so secretly guarded by ' the devil ish Uaman that tho king never once sus pected that he was made a party to a mur derous outrage. Grant knew no more of the wrong-'dolnr of Babcock and Belknap than the kings mentioned knew of the wrong doings of their ministers or cabinet officers. The cabinet officers were running the mat ters so cunningly that it appaared as if the whole transaction wa3 au open secret to the government that they representel, when the truth of the matter was, no one knew ot it Out themselves and the ring that thoy represented ; and that is the way precisely ith the whisky ring and the army ring that Babcock and Belknap headed. I'll tell you, boy, Grant knew no more of their work than vou or me. Good night. I guess IU reach Hancock by the next letter, unless the Democracy trx to drench us with another whisky story. Votirs, truly, BARTON SPEAK. Aa exchange mentions some of the things that the Republicans have not done: They did not use an army to force slavery into Kansas.

There is light on the question as to how long bay will keep if kept under roof, from the following paragraph : Peter Deyaher, of Washington township, Berks county, sold ten ton. of hay that bad been in his barn fifty-four years, being part of the first crop that was housed after the barn wa3 built fifty-four years ago. Mr. Deysber noli the hay on condition that if it was not found good the purchaser Seed not pay for it, but t turned cut to be perfectly sound, and was paid for promptly according to agreement.

Whereupon the Harrisburg TtletrraphreyWcs: "Captain Thictstun supported Greeley in 1872; after wards stumped Crawford county for the Greenback ticket; by a political accident was elected as a Greenbacks to the Legis lature, and is now the cmdiuate of the Greenback party for re-election to that body.

Tuc manner that a $20,000 New fork State girl employed to secure herself a hus band is related as follows : A merchant's salesman in Saugerties, New lork, was cleaning the store window when a pretty and well-dressed girl came in and asked the boe. what he would take for "that article in the window." For a joke, the proprietor answered, I will sell him for a dish of ice cream." She said, "Very well, I will take him," and took the boss to an ico-crcairi saloon and treated him. When they got back to the store she said, " I am going home on Monday noon, so have that article ready for me, as I shall certainly call for it." The salesman interposed with tha remark that the bargain would not be binding unless he had a dish of cream as well. At which the young lady said, " Very well, you also shall have tbe cream," arid went away, coming back in a few moments with a dish of cream for him. Oh Monday, sure en !ngh, she came for him in a carriage ; they drove away and were married. Some men have all the luck. That youth found that his bride was a 2?,000 heiress. She chose this way of picking up a husband, we sup pose, in order to get somebody who was not a fortune-hunter; or possibly to get a hus band whom she could make wash the Win dows. A crrizix of Mexico, this county, writing under date of August 13, IS.O, says: To day finds our little village in its usual good health, or as doctors say, ''distressingly healthy." As to politics, matters are be ginning to boom. In looking over the Dem ocrat and Register of this week, we find the GaE.iT Speech of the Gbk.it Geji. Tuoma. Ewi.ng, delivered in that great city of New York, on Wednesday night, July 28, 1880. He starts by saying, that be congratulates the audience, and brings in an illustration of the bugle call at the center of the line on the morning of the battle, &c. (He was absent) He says it is not the voice of Tam many ; it is not the voice of Irving Hall ; it is the trumpet tongue of the re-united Democracy of New York calling for a rally for the tight. That ia all well ; they must rally, but it will bn only a feint. Hancock as a military man is among the best ; as a statesman he is nowhere, although we like the man as a gentleman barring his pro fanity, as Pat says but he is in mighty bad company, and the November election will show him that oi l soldier boy. claim the right to vote as they please. They, with him, fought for the Union, but not with him are they willing to clasp the Johnnie Reus to their bosoms ; pay the Southern debt, bounty, pensions, and thus, like the serpent that is warmed in man's bosom, Btrikes him down. No; give us honest Republican rule for twenty years more, rather than des potic power like that, is what the masses of the people will say. AMEN. A tocxo man by the name of William Kotz, coachman for Mr. Charles McClellan, came to my store one morning complaining that hi. feet hurt him very badly, and ex pressing fcirs that they were frost-bitten. H bad in vain tried to get relief by con sulting physicians, and had endeavored, without success, to ease the pain by rub bing bis feet with snow and ice, the remedy applied in such cases. Being exposed a great deal to the cold by his occupation, hi. feet got worse daily, until one day he faint ed in the street. A few days after he again came to my store and showed me bis feet. I have seen a great many sofeS in my life, but nothing to equal this; and wasafiaid the poor fellow would lose his limbs. He asked me for St. Jacobs Oil ; but at first I refused, as I did not wish to fake the responsibility uron myself, not being a great admirer of so-called Patent-Medicines. However, some friends, who happened to be in the store at the t'me, begged me to give tho St. Jacobs Oil to the .Offerer ; so we rubbed hi. feet well with the Oil, and he took the remain der with him. After nine dajs the same man again camu into rty store, perfectly well, and requested me to write to you of this most wonderful cere; he also stated, that two other person, had been cured of Rheumatism by the aame bottle which helped him.

Am in all large and extensive cities there are bursting fountains, whose sparkling wa ters charm the eye and cool the air, so in the City of Sin there are several noted fountains, whose jutty spray attract the eye for mile.. They are called Wine, Gin, Hum, Whiiky, and Brandy Fountains. They are supplied by a Reservoir, commonly called a Distillery. It is situated ou a commanding eminence overlooking tho city. A cloud of smoke goe. up from it, like that which roll, up from the lake that burnetii with Are and brimstone. The breal ot starving multi tudes !. thrown irito the reservoir, and passing through the worm of the still a irorm conceived and brought forth by the old Serpent and running through pipes, called branJy pipes, it bursts forth in sparkling jets, aud is quailed by deluded mortals. Around thesis fountains you will see pile. of human Bones, at a distance resembling the chalky hills of England. Generation after generation hare gone down and drank, and come up and come up .and died, aud their bones are left to bleach en the mar gins. Ilere you will see sons traveling ngnt down, over the dead bodies of their fathers, and fathers treading on the bones of sons, a they urge their way down to the waters of dea'h. To these fountains you will see coming, early and late, mttltitndes from all parts ot the city, from blooming youth to hoary age. Theadiocate, when he would rescue his client from te iron hand of the law, too 'often goes down to these fountains, iustead of drinking from the wells which a Pullen- dorf, a Orotius, a Blackstone, and a Kert have dug aud walled up, after removing the rubbish of centuries, aud penetrating the granite rocks ot precedent. The orator of God sometimes visits thes? foSnM1::! In stead of his closet, werming his heart with fire-water rather than wiih a live coal from the altar of beaveu, drawing inspiratiou from the ruby wine, instead of quailing the crystal waters that " make glad the City of God." The Waters of Zem Zeni, the Pier ian Spring, the Cas'aliam Fount, aud the Wells of Salvation are abandoned by myriads for these fountains of death. The culprits and the judge, the .erf ami the lord, the beggur aud the banker, here meet as on a common level. The burning lava that rolled over Ilercu lanetini and Pompeii was never so fatal as the deluge of fire these fountains have rolled over the city ; tire, that have sun dered the cords that bound man to man, husband to wife, parent to child ; fires that have burned down the tree planted by the baud of friendship, blasted the flowers that bloomed in the garden, of love, paralyzed the giant arm, palsied the eloquent tongue and shattered the most resplendent intel lect; fires that have hardened iu vllla'ny and incrusted in crime the refined and vir tuous, transformed man into a beast, lovely woman into a lieud. The lustful desires of the debauchee, the cankerous hucger of the miser, t'.le Insa tiate thirst of the tiger, are not to no com pared with the raging thirst engendered by these fountains. If one would be consid ered mad who should endeavor to quench the violence of fire by pouring oil on the spreading flames, how much more arc those mad who attempt to allay their raging thirst by jouring these burning waters down their throats. As shipwrecked mariners find that the more they drink the salt water the greater their thirst, the More their tongues and lips are parched, So multitudes oftimes discover, too late, that drinking at these fountains iuflamcs more and more the appe tite, undermine, the constitution, consumes the vitals, ' sets on fhe the course of nature," and bnrns soul and body down to bell.
