THE WORKWOMEN'S REFORM.
A few weeks since we pubhsho 1 a call
iigred by a number ol the working.

be held iu Waynesburg on the 23rd

ar lcllow citizens. A meeting was
tsenvened accordingly on last Tuesday
week in the Court House, officers ap
pointed, nn address read. Strange to
ay but few were present, but three, we
nderstnnd.ol tho original signers of the
call. Th Convention, we feel jc milled
in saying, did not amount to 'shucks.'

SOLDIER VS. POLITICIAN.
Tho New Orleans Commerehl Bulletin,
a journal ot the extreme Southern type,
pays tho following compliments to Gen'l.
Slu r.dan i
The recognition of tho civil authority
by Gen. Sheridan shows a disposition to
conciliate tho people and convince thorn
ot his iustice. Wo cannot conceive that
any flagrant denial of right would for a
moment be tolerated by him. Let every
man do his duty, and whatever misfor
tunes may bo in storo for us and we
hope there are no more on hand just now
he can oonsciontiously say that he has
omitted no opportunity to remedy tho
evils which have bet dlen the country.
Throughout tho South the same feel,
ing is maintained by thoir true men and
trno Generals toward the Congressional
methoJ ot reconstruction. Leo, Lon-jf-
street, Hampton, lieauregard, Johnson,
Taylor, Mahono, Gordon, other men of
mark, and all the.i" leading papers, favor
immediate action under its permises It
is the Soldier u. the Politician. The
former heartily wishing and working tor
th : good ot the South, tho latter only
combatting against right to save them
selves troiu merited and inevitable ob
scurity. Tho Democracy of the North
are arrayed with the latter. They have
nothing but condemnation and obloquy
tor tho-o who play tlio part of prudent
peace-makers Ot course, tho influence,
will preponderate on tho side of tho
Soldier both North and South.

LOST HIS SMELL.
In those States where tho negro has
received the right ot suffrage Democracy
ha- gone vigorously to work feteing
flattei'tig, oven promising ilium office, it
they wib support their ticket. How
readily prejudice is cast aside 1 How
I quickly tho '.ligger'booomo our colored
fellow-citien,' bereft of all noxious odors!
The thing looked for next is the utter
repudiition ot Northern Copporheads by
Southron rebels because they will not
allow the negro his rights in the North,
Tins done what is to tollow but a recon
ciliation bet ween tho negro and Copper
heads providing the former will affiliate t
Auono the resolutions passed by the
Cousorva'ive Convention of Tennes-ee,
which nominated Etheridge for Gover
nor, is the following :
Our colored fellow-citizens, being now
citizens of thu (Initod Stales, aud cilizens
of tho State of Ten nesseo, and viters ot
this Slats, aro entitled to all the rights
and privlegcs (f citizens under tho law
and Con -titution ot the United States aud
ot the State ot Tenties.-ec.
Tho Ilarnsbarg Telegraph exclaims
think of that 1 'Oar colored fellow-citi-tens.'
A'l l that said by a convention ot
rebels, who have tor their standard. boarcr
a man who has scattered more ink and
wasted more wind, in denouncing tho
attempt to give political rights to the
blacks than would float a ship or foun
der it. How funny it will sound whon
Emerson Etheridge, on tho stump,
opens his spoech with 'My colored lol
low citizens of Tonnessee.' Not quite
so funny, however, as ..when he shall
reach the point at which he solicits their
votes as being thoir bust friend. It that
don't make the darkies laugh, thou tree
dom has destroyed their natmal risibili-'
lies.
Wiiiskv Fiiaiids. By roports mado
to the Internal Revenue Rurean, It ap.
pears that notwithstanding the lato law
to tho contrary.a largo amount of whisky
is offered for sale in various parts of the
country nt a less ralo per gallon than

have been sent to iorret it out and seizo

HIVING GOOD ADVICE.
The Philadelphia Prtsi says that dur
ing the late rebellion the most faithful ol
the Democracy purchase ) gold verj
largely. In all tho towns of this State
young mon with spare capital, and old
men with spare brains, who put their
taith in Democratic statesmen, and had
no faith in the people and their country,
invested their little all in gold. They
do not talk about it now i but many an
honest Democrat within our knowledge
curses tho great men of his town or
county who consejlcd so unpatriotto and
disastrous a oourse.
Our advice to our business readers,
oontinuos the Press, is this, and it is
practical: Whenever your Denvcra
lie friends como to your storo or office,
and tell you that tho policy aud measures
of tho Union party are ruining the coun
try, and it will end in destroying your
business and throwing you a helploss
bankrupt on an impoverished commu
nity, and so on, and so on, according to
tho vividness of their imagination and
the -heat of their party temper, just offer
to sell them cold. That will praoticrly
test their own faith in their own words,
and likely cool their argument. Any
man who honestly believes that tho
country is rushing towards destruction
with lightning rapidity, will bo willing
aud want to invest his all in gold, and
pay a slight premium for it.
CuniiicNcv. There is an abundance ot
mutilated and (orn currency floating!
about from hand to hand, in our coin '
tnunity, which ought to be gathered up
as it is offered, and sent to the Treasury
for redemption. Merchants and other
business men are the ones to do this. It
would cost little or nothing to get in re
turn splinter new currency, and would
aid the community ofa decided nuisance.
It will be redeemed by presenting it in
sums of five dollars to the United Statos
Treasury.
Thero was an election tor town offi
cers in Plymouth, N. C, on Saturday,
April G, at which the negroes voted.
One of tho officers elected was Theophi
j lus Ash, a negro, who was chosen a
j member of the Town Commissioners.

For the Republican,
SUPrOItT YOUR COUNTY PAPER.
Every voter who can read shoutd tako
at least ono paper. If he take but ono,
that ono should bo his County paper.
He should do this, in order to volo in
telligently. I lay down this principle : Tho coun
ty papers aro necessary to the success of
the party to which they belong, nnd
every ono bolonging to that party who
resides in tho county is under obligation
to support ilium. Tho largo papers, like
the 2V'4"C, exercise a great influence
upon the poli'ios of the country, but not
any greater than tho local papers. They
are tho only medium through which the
politcs ot tho County can be discussed,
tho calls for meetings issued, ifcc. In
fact, without thorn the party would die
But a groat many do not taka them
because, they say they oost too much.
What, can you not givo two dollars and
a half for tho support and advance
mout of principles you believe to bo truo,
and nooossary to the preservation ot
your oountry t If not, then you are
unworthy to voto for those principles.
It is also said that a city paper, like
the Tribune, can oe obtained at less oost
than tho Uki'uumcan, and jet contains so
much moro reading This is true. But
if all would act up in this priuciplo,
where would be our oounty papers '!
And it they would g down whoro
would be our party ? Almost every ono
of these contain moro than two doilars
and a half's worth of reading.
Again, it Is objected that those local
papers aro not up to tho standard
they should be, that they contain noth
ing of interest except during the cam
paigns. Let this bo grouted. Why
aro they not ? Because those who should
support them, do not do it. How many
intelligent Republicans aro there in
Greone County who oould write an ar-
ticie ior tne uur-uut.icAX, say ouoe a
month t At least fitiy, That would
givo twelve articles to each issuo,
enough to mako a good paper. How
many now subscribers could be obtained
by a little exertion on the part of the
eading men. of tho townships f At least
a thousand, and that wWd enable the
Editor to take out some aJvui'tisomjiits,
and givo reading matter instead
Sj I say to the Ujpublicans ofGiene
county, let us support our paper, It is
ulreaiy worthy our iatrounge, let us
make it still better. Let us write for it i
exchange our views upon the great
questions ot the day i givo items ot local
interest words ot enoouragomunt to
each other, and thus show that we take
an interest in our parly, aud are Ann in
our belief. Let us go to work and get
now subscribers, pay up our own sub
scription, and endeavor by all the mean
in our power to make our paper second
to none in originality, ability and advo
cacy of the principles of universal free,
dom and justice. We boast ot being
the educated party ot tho oountry i let
us mako good our assertion, and Bhow
that we value these educators of the
people. And by so doing we shall res
deem our county from the rule of Cop
perhcadisin, aud place her in the ranks
with her noble sister counties. Then
we shall no longer blush to say wo be
long to Greene County. J.

"WIIERE'3 THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE
EGO?"
Under the above caption tho copper
head organ of this county tells its dupes
that a resolution Vas introduced by a
Democrat into Congress to allow the
ladies the right of suffrage, but tho 'iu
fernal Hadieals' rejected it, and at tho
samo timo voted to give suffrage to the
negro, Well, if the Radicals did that,
they desorvo to be whipped, and this
rebel mouth-piece is tho ono to do it
But what aro tho roal facts in the case?
A bill was boforo Congress to allow tho
negro tho privilege of votiug ; ponding
tho debato on which, some Democrat,
drunken Saulsberry perhaps, introduced
an amendinont to extend tho same priv
ilege to woman, tacking it on to the samo
bill, and threhy pu'limj the ladies on an
equality with the ncjr. Wo supposo
tho copporheads all voted for the amend
ment, ns it filled their idea of woman,
while the Republicans, who regard her
as something higher and nobler, vo'ed
against it. Which did right? Why did
not thu 'gospel expounder' give nil these
facts? Because its readers would gulp
its statement down and never know that
it was not the truth. And then it could
be told to the Democi'ats who can't lead
and they would have a jolly time over it
Is the Republican party opposed to
female suftVagt? Let Wisconsin and
Kansas answer. Lol the papers of the
party answer. Every one in favor ot it.
Is the Democratic party in favor of it?
Does it regard woman in her true light !
L t the history of iho South answer,
where tor sixty years men and women
havo mingled together like brutes
Where met: old their own offspring
with as much iudlfferen. o as it they had
been oxen. Where, oh. where aro the
rights ot woman respected t Certainly
not in the Democratic party. J.
