AZIOVT RINGS.
A writer in the Montrose .Republican
blyi the folloring sharp comment, on
"gings,,;
" Formerly, down in Tlerlts and
Lebanon, the old people believed in
" spooks," and it made many unhappy
hours for them. Now-a-days, if we
judge from the generally bluishness of
the Democratic papers, they are equally
afflicted with a. fear of " rings."
"According to a paper before me a
horrible " ring" elected our President
Jest fall—another " ring" has got a ,
sheriff' also! In short, "rings,"and
only "rings" keep the virtuous, -disin
terrested; non-otrice.h sting Democ
racy from restoring to us the halcyon
days when slavery was omnipotent! 1 1
That must have been a pretty - lairge
"'ring" which nominated Grant unani
mously. and gave him half a millio
majority of •the popular vote !
"That was a small "ring" which at-
tempted. to defeat the renomination of
Gov. Geary, and which at last colluded
with the notorious " ring„ that did
nominftte Judge Packer!
"-But candidly, it is pretty hard to
define what it - ' cabal," " regency,"
or "ring" 10. Two or three - Men make
a union or ebnibination, which may be
enlarged to many thousands. Where
does the "ring" come in ?
" In all our actions, as social beings,
as citizens, as christians, we more or
less cembine- to carry proper objects.—
As long as no immoral or illegal means
are eMployed, such combinationsare un
excePtionable. When our organiza
tions number handreds, and even mil
lions, it is simply ridiculous to call them
`factions" or " rings"
" The exceptionable "ring" of our
day, I conceive to be the unprincipled
men, professedly of - opposing parties,
who unite to aid each other at the cost
of their parties or of the public good.—
They- betray 'their party, they plunder
the country, they corrupt the public
morals for their own greed of money
and power. Men honestly differing in
their views of public policy, and stand
ing.together to carry them out, are to
be respected, :while those of no settled
views, Intent on private ends only, at
once attach to themselves suspicions
and distrust." -
WOMAN THROWS BIILPH CHIC ACID
OVER(BER BETRAYER.—Thecourt room,
on Monday afternoon last, was the scene
of an unusual null exciting occureuce.
A young lady Who had been cruelly

one aceprding to her notions,;.undertook
to take the case out of rile handsf the

antiterrible punishment on the young
man who had robbed hpr of her virtu

tragic scene in the cdurt room, the
young lady In question had procured at
one of our drug stores' a quantity 01

proper distal she threw the con
tents of the en at him,d, intending to
strike him in the face, but as he dodged
the greater portion of the t acid wtis re
ceived on the head. Tnis scene created
quite a buzz in the court room. Law-
yers in the vicinity of the affair had
their broadcloth ruined, for wherever
I the-acid touched, a brilliant scarlet was
produepd. The young lady was irnme

'But howevir unpleasant the clisabilities_ ,
of such a state •may be, it is in nothing
comparable-t 6 - the spectacle of a people
satisfied to sit down in the midst, of
their work, and leave abuses unclieelted.
Yet this is the case in which the
.Americturpeople appear this day.
It hi the business of demagogues to
flatter thetinasses ; it is our business to
tell them the truth, whether that be

pleasant or • 6t. The people are too

much for themselves, in the present,
and not enough in reference to the
masses who are to come after them.—
Business morality, which thirty years
ago was a jewel in the 'crown of a goOd,
citizen, is lightly valued. " A sharp,
shrewd man"—a man who can pile up
dollars- rapidly— is valued many per
cent. higher than one who makes little
show of fortune, who is merely inde
pendent, but whose every dollar repre
sents an equivalent of some sort of la

were the fashioning of the Alrni / giity.
The extravagances of the time have
corrupted the hearts. and seared the
consciences of men. Thousands have
seemingly forgotten the Se i rmon on the
Mount, and remember only that dubi
ous paragraph wherein it is enjoined to
"make to yourselves friends of the mam
mon of uurighteousness." If the Isra
elites had resort to Vie golden calf, the
gentiles have resort I to the mammon of
unrighteousness, and fairly match the

Jews. •
To what does, Andrew JohnOon owe
his unpopularity among the American
people? Is it to hisoutrageous farming
out of the revenues to known ttliieveS?
Is it to his notorious championship of
thieves, counterfeiters and smugglers?
To neither. The most corrupt and dis
honest President the republic ever had,
the masses have not proprosed to pun
ish him for that. They see in him,
rather, the political traitor, the ingrate
to party favors ; and for this bad enough,
but still venial crime, they would tear
him limb from limb. The fact that he,
through his agents, robbed the Ameri
can people of not less than $500,000,000,
is entirely secondary with the majority.
On the other hand Oen. Omni is
paying off the debt at the rate of $lOO,-
000,000 a year, or more. He is reduc
ing the current expenses at least $50,-
000,000 per year ; and heis increasing
the revenuse, without added taxation,
not less than $60,000,000 a year. Now,.

The reading public, but more espec
ially the newspaper world, has been
somewhat excited over the attempted
assassination of Mr. Albert D. Rid'.
ardson , a correspondent of The Tribune,
and author of several very popular
books. Mr. Richardson was receiving
his letters in the business, office of The
Tribune, when n. man named McFar
land drew a piStol and shot him. The
ball entered about the middle of the
body and lodged in the stomach. Mr.
.Richardson winked up three flights of
stairs into the editorial rooms and very
coolly sent a friend for a surgeon. He
was:soon removed to his lodgings, and
is, at present writing, lying in a pre
carious condition.
The history of the case is: Sometime
in 1866 or 1867 Mr. Richardson made the
acquaintance of Mrs. McFarland, then
living separate from her husband. The
lady is reputed a woman of fine talents
and spotless fame. It does not appear
that there was more- than friendly in
timacy between Mr. R. and Mrs. MoF.
But sometime in 1867, Mr. R. was ac
companying her to her - lodging-place in
the evening, when McFarland eamp
...ienaruston.
was only a flesh wound, Thete was an
explanation in the newspapers. Mr.
R. publicly declared that McFarland
was a brute with whom no reputable
woman could live, and that he had be
friended the wife after her separation
from her husband.• He also declared
his intention to marry Mrs. MeF. when
a divorce should be procured for her.—
The matter rested thus until last week,
when McFarland again attempted the
assassination of Mr. Richardson.
It does not appear that Mr. R. and
Mrs. McF. had met for a year prior .to
this unfortunate affair. Mrs. McF. had
procured a divorce, meauthne, and
since the affray the parties have been
joined in wedlock by Rev. Ward Beech
er, assisted by Mr. Frothingharn. This
gives the lady in the case the true po
sition of nurse to the wounled man. It
is supposed that the procuration of the
divorce and the approaching marriage
of his former wife and Mr. Richardson,
stimulated the vengeance of the.drunk
en McFarland.
The shooting cannot be justified in
any respect. .There is no allegation of
intimacy between the wounded man
and the lady. The latter supported the
former husband for several years, and
bore with his beastliness as long as any
woman of spirit could. The attack was
the deed of a coward, and the assailant
should receive the full penalty attached
to violated law.
Mr. Richardson Is one of the ,best of
_the class to which he belongs. In old
times— ten years ago —he Steed high
arnonituen of rep: station. Ile has the
sympathy of hosts of friends, and we
heartily wish for his early recovery.,

Atr al of many ye.ars has established the fact, that it
ie more efficacious in pulmonary affection'', than any
other remedy. Its efficacy has now become so gen.
eially known, that it Is Justly regarded in many coun
tries as a medicine of indispensable necessity. In Great
'Britain. France, and Oermanyt where medical ecience
has reached its higheecperfection, It is prescribed in
.domestic practice, and constantly used in the armies in
•hospltals and other public institutions, where it is re
garded by the attending physicians as the moat speedy
and agreeable remedy that can be employe. Scarcely
any neighborhood can be found where well known
cases of diseased lungs, which had battled the efforts of
the most skillful and " experienced doctors have been
completely cured by it. These.'results ,pre the most
convincing proofs of the superior curative provertios of
this 'preparation; and to them the authors point with
peculiar satisfaction. Whiten is most powerful against
confirmed diseases, it is extremely gentle as a medicine
in infancy and youth, being quite harmless to even the
youngest, when administered judiciously.
This health restorer accomplishes oven more by pre.
'ovation than cure. If taken In seuon. it beats all irri
tations of the throat and lungs, whether arising from
Colds or Coughs, or from other eacv,es, and thus pre
vent that long train of painful and incurable avulses,
which would arise from the neglect of them. [fence
no family should bo without it. Influenza Croup,
hoarseness, Whooping Cough, Pleurisy, Incipient Con
sumption. and other affections of the breathing organs,
give way before the preeminent combination of medl-
Cal virtues. ,
