THE VOLUNTEER ON FACTS AND
'THERWtSE
Two weeks since a gentleman handed
us a communication relative to the
Democratic ticket lately nominated in
this county, and the connection of the
Volunteer with the nominations and
candidates. Demon a Democrat, a gen
tleman of ability, standing and attain
ments, and his communication embodied
much of the sentiment that has boon
expressed by loading Democrats through
out the county since their primary elec
tion. Wo inserted it, of course. The
Volunteer had the effrontery last week
to assort that it was tho editorial ex
pressions of the llEnAmi, put into the
shape of a communication for 'effect, and
to say that this was "an old and trans
parent dodge," and 'on this we rise to
explain..
The lIER.!,:to is not conducted on the
"dodge" plan, and if it were , it is quite
probable we should not select " old'and
transparent dodges." Weleg, to assure
our neighbors that when We have any
thing to urge against them or any of
their . candidates, we aro not under, the
necessity of shielding ourselves behind a
communication, nor do wo resort to the
somewhat less reputable practice of as
serting what we don't believe: The .
Vorunteer people know perfectly well,.
that the editor; o,( . _:the, HERALD never
penned a line of the communication ;
they know...fp:Sher that, it was written
by a Democrat, and they can guess the
author accurately enough for their own
purposes. In addition to this, the only
possible reason for this attack on us, is
the want of other material for a leading
article, as they know there is not an
intelligent Democrat in town who has
the slightest suspicion that we had any
thing to do with the communication,
except its publication.
The Volunteer then proceeds to venti
late a discovery, which it does thus.
"Had it been a "sot up" affair, as was
the Republican ticket, there might have
been just cause for complaint. What we
mean, the following amusing incident
will illustrate : - A week Or so before the
Republicifit Convention, a leading Re
publican entered THE HERALD office
with a communication recommending the
nomination of a prominent Republican of
this town for the position of State Sena
tor. One of the editors glanced over
the communication, and 'then. replied :
" Well, this is all very well, but I believe
it is generally understood that I am to be
the nominee." The gentleman remarked
that such might have been the under
standing around TnE HERALD office, but
ho had not hoard of it before. e left
the office, and the communication H
never
appeared."
The material part of this is untrue. On
tho Tuesday before our delegate election,
a gentloman who was in the office, said
to ne that he "intended to write a com
munication recommending apt. Porter
for State Senator, as he was a good man,
and no one had yet - been spoken of for
that nomination." We replied that our
name had been mentioned as a candidate,
and we believed it Was' likely we
would be nominated, but that Capt.
Porter was a good man, and- if a com
munication recommending him were
written we would insert it. The gentle
matt said ho had not heard our name
mentioned, and with this the conversa
tion closed. 119 prepaMd ?no communica-
Non, nor had ho ono with fiim, and if ho
or Any other Republican in the county
had presented if, -- datiminiioation recOi
mending any ono for nomination foi• that
position, it would have been published
ebeerfeilly. Just here, Wo reme - mber,
'that'tho Volunteer was happy last Week;
over the idea' that our nomination was
•
• made becausenn other person'desired to
'be beaten ono thousand votes , ; mivi it is
• concerned because our nomination was
• dictated. Well alournal thntgoes into a
'campaign on two adyarse7Platforms' can
be Omitted for having+ twoudverse theerieS

Wo beg our neighbors to understand,
that wolake no exceptions, whatever, to
what they may say • concerning auy,
person_ belonging to their own party.
When wediettrthom praise their nominees
we know they do it . I'roni "the purest
motives, because they really belfeie them

to be mon in whom there is no guile.

its scheme, and the ,c6nsequence has
been that the fights in the party have
become more bitter, and the corruptions
more marked and evident than before.
It is now decided, wo believe, that the
system will be given up. , .This is mortis
fying, of course, to those who originated
the scheme, but they treed not expend
their ill-humor on us for publishing a
communication, Written-by-ono-of-their
own party, on their mode of nomination.
They would have no scruples about pub-
lishing a communication from a Repub
lican.
SUCCESS OF THE NEW LOAN
Contrary to the predictions of all the
Democratic politicians, and in spite, of
tho fears 'of that class of Republicans,
who aro always ready to doubt the suc
cess of any measure to which our party
is committed, the now loan has been Suc
cessful. The first instalment of $206,-
000,00, or rather what ran:mined of it
after-the subscriptions made by the Banks_
directly after_ it was offered, was taken
by a company, of English_and_ American
Bankers, some days since. Tho bonds
were negotiated at the face value in
gold, with an abatement of one-half per
cent allowed by the funding bill for ad
vertising and commissions. It was ar
ranged that eighty millions of the bonds
thus_contracted for, should ho given to
the European bankers and the remain
ing fifty millions retained for sale in this
country. The European managers im
mediately advertised for subscriptioni to
the bonds they had bought, and in a
siure — day — tlroy — lra - d — subscititirms
amounting to many thousands more than
the bonds they had purchased from the
Government. In this country the de
maud for them has been so great that
the entire fifty millions have also been
disposed,. and there remains now not a
single bond in the hands of the Syndicate
for sale. •
This success is almost as marvelous as
it is gratifying. It has been accom
plished at a time most unfavorable for
such an undertaking. The European
markets have been filled with the enor
mous loans, made necessary by the late
French and German war. In this
country, our vast railroad and manufac
turing enterprises keep before the public
largo amounts of investments, bearing a
high rate of, interest, and which aro
usually offered at a heavy discount.
There was; in addition, the adverse in
fluence exerted by those who knew that
the success of the funding bill would
add greatly. td - the credit and popularity
of Grant's Administration. But in
spite of all these oh,stacles, such has
been the confidence of the people of
this and foreign countries, in the in.
tegrity and capacity of those who ad
minister the government, that theSe new
bonds bearing a low interest, and sold
for their face in gold, have been seized
upon with an eagerness that is truly
marvelous. Henceforth there are no fears
of failure. Within a. year, the entire
debt of the United States will be founded
in a new loan, and that too on terms
more favorable than are at present
required by the funding bill.
The benefits arising from the success
of this measure are almost incalculable.
The amount already funded will save the
nation two millions per year in interest,
while the ftmding of the whole loan-will
maim the annual saving more than
'm i micry TIMMONS. It will remove all
clangor of the loan which is hold in for
eign countries being thrown on our mar
kets. It will decrease the rates of inter
est throughout every part of our country,
and thus stimulate enterprise and busi
ness at all points. And, finally, it will
secure to the country, for many years, a
continuance of Republican rule, which
has given us govornment instead of an
archy, peace
,instead of war, and BON
oncy and credit instead of bankruptcy
-and dishonor.

" being convinced that he cannot re
ceive justice from the majority .of said

bomb-shell into the Democratic ranks :
"'The history of those who at present
control the Democratic. party of Philo,-
delphioistkiiistory_of
_rep.Oated . wrongs,
usurpations and - injeirieS.
I have suffered as mtieh from.this ignor
ant and bigoted tyranny as any other
citizen,
and the limit has been reached
where forbearance has ceased to be a
virtue, 'and where longer submission
would require attributes either more or
less than manly. ll:cause I have re
fused to become the pliant tool of a - few
men whose right to rule exists in
their pre-eminent ruffianistn and un
doubted venality, I have been cheated
out of positions..to which I " have boon
honestly chosen L-have been assaulted
under cover of night by assassius—have
been traduced and villified without stint..
My case has only been exceptional in so
far as it has boon more open than many
others ; but every intelligent citizen
knows that the Democratic party of
Philadelphia is now, and has boon for
years, controlled by just such men and
moans, as I have described—mon who
crave position that they may sell it for
profit, who elevate their puppets:because
they can ho handled to advantage, and
who barter away their votes and those
of their creatures as readily as Judas
sold his master.
In speaking thus plainly I am not
actuated by , any personal piquo. The
time has comp when some one moat
speak.
I am not vain enough to assume to be
a leader, but the stand I havo taken of
rosistanco to an ,ignorant, bigoted, and
corrupt tyranny inside the Democratic
party_is_assumed_by_thousands,..and_that,
party in Philadelphia must,' ore long,
get rid of those leaders, or loso many of
its most intelligent and honest voters."
THIRTY-Mx windows of the Now York,

$682 PER WINDOW. We would like
to know how much each window mkt
under the same management, and if not
too .ingilisitive, how much:the building
cost?' There used to be some arithmetic
men in the Democratic party who could
cipher on election returns, suppose they
try their hands my this.
THE Columbia Spy says : "General
M'Candless, Democratic candidate for
Auditor General, while on a visit to
Norristo,wn a few dayg since, gave or
ders to tho. Democracy there to destroy
all their old harmers, transparencies,
mottoes and devices heretofore used, and
new one's be procured. It is said that an
offer was made to the " Wide Awake"
club for the use of theirs, but was
ie
fused,"
— Tule Deniocracy have always claim('
to be the friends of the laboring "-man.
We begin to believe there is some truth
in their claim. In -New York city
they pay them good wages. Plasterers
for instance, are paid at the rate of
$1,600 rElt SQUARE YARD, as shown by
the recent exposures. Tho only difficulty
is that a certain class of their poor men
don't remain poor long.
Tar,gain in the white vote alone, in
Kentucky, for the Republicans, over the
voto of 184 is more than 25,000. This
is one of the ways in which the Democ

to it, by all moans. •
THE DEMOCRATIC RAID ON THE
NEW YORK CITY TREASURY
Tho raids made by the Democratic
party upon the City Treasury are "elicit
ing much comment throughout the
country. The Mayor has been asked to
publish a detailed account of expendi
tures, but has declined doing so. The
Standard of that city says : Tammany
has not mustered courage to publish the
demanded accounts. Stich large figures
might scare oven the repeaters in the
sorvico of the Ring. Controller Con
nolly divided the figures to conquer
them, giving us the expenditures for ono
month instead of thirty. Even then the
sums aro appalling to those who must
pay. An instructive view of their enor
mity inay ho had by comparing the ex
penses of Now York with those of
Brooklyn, which has half our popula
tion, three-fifths our number of houses,
and a considerable excess of our terri
torial size. In this we have the author
ity of tho Brooklyn Eagle, a Democratic
paper not suspected of undue prejudice
against its party.. For the 'month of
dnly our list of salaries foots up to $140,-
.000, white Brooklyn payi only $20,500,
- one-Seventh as much. For advertising,
Brooklyn pays $5,166 per month, New
York, $47,146, nine times as touch. Con
tingencies in Brooklyn cost $25,0110 per

Accinrmr. , i 7 ' 7 on afternoon
last.; -Mr. Barney A. Slicafor, a son of
the late Goo. W.,l3heafer,.deceased, l met
with a very severe acoiffeht. Mr: S. is
conduetbr on- ono of the freight trains
on the Pehrisylvania . Central, between
Harrisburg and Philadelphia. It appears
that while going over the top'of the cars;
'(as.is customary for railroaders to do,)
from the engine to the roar of the train,
he was struck on the side of the face by
a bridge, and. rendered insensible. 119
was - subsequently removed to his resi
dence in Harrisburg, and At last accotiAs_
was suffering considoraiiii from. internal
injuries sustained.
Nnunow tsonm—Three - gentlemen
of this place, loft town on Saturday even
ing, on a soloing expedition'. They pro
e:eeded'tc.tho Conodoguinot, ,and com•
monced to fish in -the neighborhood of
the Water House, and - word mooting
with considorablo luck, having Bemired
upwards of 100 of the finny tribe: They ,
then transferred their scone of operations ,
below Wiso i s bridgei and - ono or the
party having the frith in charge, while
making -his way through the water,
Wisp i - elral — into ono of the "Ite
holes" so numorou s below the bridge.
In order to save himself Rom , ft 'watery
grave, he was obliged to release his hold
of the bag containing the fish. After
reaching the shore in safety, one of his
companions determined to recover the
fish, and in doing so, also narrowly es
caped drowning from getting into water '
beyond his depth, but ho finally =Ovid
the bank.
SEPTUM 11Mt.— Friday next is the first
day of September. Some persons gen
erally regard this us the commencement
of Autumn. But this - is an erroneous
impression, as our "stand-by" the alma
nac informs us that Fall does not begin
until the,twenty-fottrUtof the month.
September (from the Latin Beptetii
meaning seven) was the seventh month
of the Iloman calendar, but is the ninth
according to our re ckoning, though me
kill.proserve the original name. Van'.
ons Boman emperors, following the ex
limpid of Augustus, who changed "Sex-
tills," the sixth month of the Roman
calendar, into " A.ngustas' . (Angust,) ,
tempted to substitute other names for
this month; but the ancient appellation
continued to hold its ground. The Sax
_CMS called it ger t-mo meth, or barley
month, because barry, their chief cereal
crop, was generally harvested during
this.montli. It has always contained 80
dayS.
PlCNlCS.—Although the season is get
ting rather late for these pleasant out
door gatherings, they aro still largely at
tended, and havo not lost any of the en
thusiasm .with which they were inaugu
sated.
On Thursday last, about eighty.couplo_
of young people enjoyed themselves at
Mount Rock. Had it not been 'for the
threatening weather, a much larger
crowd..would have been in attendance.
During the past month a largo number
of invitations W131:0 circulated in this
borough, announcing that the "Petri
winkle Club," of Harrisburg, would hold
a picnic ou to-day. The picnic -. was
held in the afternoon, and the party en
joyed-themselves until: about 10 o'nlOck
in the evening, tripping the "light fan
tastic" on the large platform erected for.
suckoccasions. The picnic, N 9,114 Itot as
largely attended as had, been expected,
there being but about 80 pereMis present.
But the " Perriviinkles" can flatter
themselves on tlie success .of their pic-
ON Friday, a "select" crowd frointhis
placd held a picnic in Judge . Watts'
grove. They were obliged to seekf shel
ter in the Judge's barn, during the pro
valenee.of the , thkindergust. The party
returned, in,the.evening, highly delighted
'With - the sports of the day.
ACCORDING to pre.yieus notice, the pic
nic came off in Mr. Lyre's groye, south
of the Stone Tavern on Saturday last.
Despite the threatening weather about
150,persons were present, In the even
hag the participants adjourned to • the
Stone Holub., where' dancing and , songs
of meriiment were indulged in, until
about 10 o'clock, , p. m.
4 SOCIAL picnic will be held in a grove
near the Burnt House, on next Saturday
