The Last Issue.

This being the last issue of our paper pre-
vious to the election, we exhort our readers
to work faithfully and earnestly for the tri-
umph of our principles at the ballot-box,-'
The most cheering news has been receiv-
ed from other portions Of the State. and it is
confidently anticipated that, if the Demo-
Gratis can poll the same number OF votes
which they did at the Presidential election,
they will carry the State by avery hand
some majority. This should encourage our
friends to use some exertion to procure
full vote, which is now the most important
matter to be attended to-. l.s"
A few active Democrats in each Town
ship may do more by spending a few hours
on the day before the election in seeing the
voters and urging their attendance at the
polls, than all the stump speeches OF the
campaign. Remember that our enemies in
this County are working in secret-on the
Know Nothing plan--and that no honOra.
BILE means should be spared to thwart their
designs. We repeat, that the surcst way to
secure victory this fall is to get every
Democrat TO vote ;he ticket, the whole tick
ct and nothing but the ticket .- p

Salmon p. Chase recommended the de-
posit Of tho peoples money in Bank which
was Ia VIGOROUSLY rotten concern, and the
State thereby lost SEVENTY-NINE +
THOUSAND DOLLARS! He was mad,
the guardian of the Treasury by his own
party, aud instead of performing his duties
as required by law, he grossly neglected
them and was actually knowing to cor
upt..uansaction by which the money of the
State was used to buy Black Republican
printing office .'I FL.

urer, has proven dclaulter to the State in
the sum ofhalf million of dollars
The Republican Fund CommisSi oners,

sing the State the sum of $4,000!

Do not be Deceived I!

Our opponents have been working Sc
cretly, but perhaps the more effectively, in
this County, in order to place Republican
" Independents " in Office. They have been
circulating all sorts of stories about our
candidates and will, probably, just on the
eve Of the election, manufacture some fresh
ones, and put them in hand-bills to circu-
late or send them about verbally. You may
be sure, if you hear any such reports that
they are wholly wanting in truth, and gov
ern yourselves accordingly. Do not suffer
yourselves 10 be deceived into voting for
your political opponents. We want the
people of this County 10 lift up their voices
once more against Black Republicanism in
all its phases.

HOrFid Atrocities OF the SepOy
Mufiueers In IndiO.

munnCcES III AhuAus
DR.. Alexander Duff, writing from
Calcutta, India, gives the following
particulars OF the Sepoy barbarities
and atrocities. lie says, under date
Of July 10; ETlN
7 The case Of JhaDsi, the capital oi
q petty State in Bundlecung, 10 the
west Of Allahabad, is one OF tho most
deplorable. The Sepoys having mu-
tinted, some OF the officers effected
their escape and others were killed.
Butthe major part Of the Europeans.
to the number of 30, inclusive of the
ladies and children, got possession Of
the fort, and for several dayskept good
their position-the ladies assisting
the gentlemen in cooking for them,
sending them refreshments, casting
bullets, &c. Though beginning to
be much straightened for want Of pro-
visions, they still held ont, until at
last the mutneers, assisted with guns
and elephants by the Rano or Queen,
succeeded in effecting an entrance at
one of the gates. p
Then did the proverbial faithless'
ness of Asiatics receive fresh Illus
tration. The gentlemen, some Of
whom were famous marksmen, one Of
them having killed no less than TWEEN.
ty.five OF the rebels with his own
hand-were solen.nly promised that
it they laid down their arms and gave
themselves up quietly, the lives Of all
would be spared. Unfortunately for
themselves, their wives and little ones,
they were induced to listen to these
promises, and come out. No sooner
had they done so, than they were tied
iu a long line between some trees and
had their heads struck of. Such la.
dies as had children were doomed to
see them cut in halves before their
turn came. Then followed scenes Of
dishonor and torture too hideous t0
narrate; these murderous savages,
like the tigers which inhabit their
Jungle, seemingly deligEting to play
with their victims before dispatching
them.
In other cases where father and
mother have been killed, and little
children have run away, they have
been caught and thrown into the flame
of burning houses. Such cruelties,
outraging as they do, every law OF
humanity, are earning for the perpe-
traitors, universal eXecration.
In another well authenticated case,
the European servant Of a mess was
seized and slowly cut into small pie
ces, and portions of his flesh forced
down the throats of his children be.
fore they themselves were cruelty de-
stroyed. Even the native servants Of
the same mess were marked by the
brutal mntineers by having their
hands, ears and noses cut off
Elsewhere, the Sepoys took up liv-
ing children by the legs, with their
heads hanging downward and tore
them in two. In one instance four
children in one family were thus bar
barously torn up before the eyes Of
their father and mother, who them
selves were soon after most shocking
ly abused and butchered!

The late Bloody Atrocities I'm
Indin.

By a late foreign arrival, we take
the following from the telegraph Of
the Cork Constitution OF September
II: -.....
Gen. Havelock's force for the re-
occupation Of Cawnpore, had, in s
days, marched 1876 miles, and fought
four actions with Nena Sahib's army,
against overwhelming odds in point
Of numbers: and had taken "a guns
of light caliber; and that, too, in the
month of July in India!
On the morning Of the 18th Of Ju,
ly, the force marched into Cawnpore.
The soul-harrowing spectacle that
there presented itself to them, beg
gals description. A Wholesale mas.
sacro had been perpetrated by the
fiend, Nena Sahib. Eight officers
and ninety men OF II. M. Eighty
fourth regiment, seventy ladies and
one hundred and twenty .one children
of Ii. M. Thirty second Foot, and the
whole European and Christian popu-
lation OF the place, including civil
ians, merchants, pensioners and their
families, to the number of four hun.
dred persons were victims Of this
Satan! na...
The court yard, in front Of the AS.
sembly Rooms, in which Nena Sahib
had fixed his. head quarters, and in
which the women had been imprison-
ed, was swimming in blood. A large
number of women and children which
had been cruelty spared after the ca.
pitulation for worse fate than in
stant death, had been barbarously
slaughtered on the previous morning,
the former having been stripped naked
and then beheaded and thrown into a
well, and the latter having been hurl.
ed down alive on their butchered mo-
tbers, whose blood reeked on their
mangled bodies. Only four escaped
the wife OF a merchant and three
others.
Gen. Havelock, in dispatch to
the Gov. General, says that I" Nena
Sabib has drowned himself, with his
family. He had an intention Of going
to Lucknow, but when he got as far
as the river the cavalry and infantry
deserted him. They are all gone off,
after destroying their arms, to their
different homes. Cawnpore is now
again as quiet as Allahabad."

STATE ARMS ron KANSAS!
who ROBBED Che ArsennEA

VINO AsOODed the Arsenng
We have been put in possession o.
some facts which, we think, should bt
made pablic. They arc these: Last
fall there was shipped from the State
Arsenal, at Columbus, o., a large
quantity of muskets,S designed >for
Kansas, the freight on which being
only paid to Dayton, the Railroad
company would send them no further,
They remained in tho freight-house
until a few weeks ago, when some Of
the military companies took charge OF
them They are the Ohio State arms.
Its known that Mr.. Parrot, the
present candidate of the Black Re-
pnblicans in Kansas for Congress,
was formerly a resident Of Dayton ,
and that he was at Columbus and
Dayton last Summer and Fall. That
the sending Of these arms to Dayton,
at that time had some connection
with Parrots visit to Columbus we
have no doubt. Will the Chase or.
gan at Columbus explain this trans,
actionl Will it inform the public
who directed these State arms to be
sent to Kansas? Who paidthe freight
on them to Daytonl 1t was aclan'
destine disposal of State property Or
a downright robbery If bleeding
Kansas" "requircd the robbery OF the
State Arsenal, let us knowit. Come,
Mr.. Journal, tell all about it, without
any Gibsonizing. There can be no
covering POT this transaction. = Gin.
Enquirer Oct. 4. dr
Here's another curious develope-
ment for the people to ponder over!-
Not only has the present administra.
ton robbed the people OF theirmoney,
but, as it appears from the above, its
officers have attempted to make way
with arms which have been furnished
to the State to protect the citizens
thereof in case of war and invasionl
Will the people tolerate this Chase
dynasty any longerl 10 r.@a

What is a Specie Paying Bank!
Is it bank that pays specie SO long
as nobody wants it, but the moment
there is any special call for it Twill
not submit to a runl' From the ex-
ample OF Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Providence, &C., we should say that
in their view this is the proper def
milton of a specie paying bank. II it
be a correct one the whole idea of a
specie paying bank is humbug.-
Such is not the meaning attached to
the term either here or in Boston.
We take the above sensible remarks
from the N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
Our contemporary of the Cincinnati
Gazette, thinks it is very wrong in the
holders of bank promises to pay to de-
mand the payment, and rather ap-
proves violence upon the part of the
friends of banks against such un-
welcome creditors! individuals must
pay their notes on.demand. but bank
corporations are insulted and outra-
ged if they are asked to do the same

The CURRENCY OF ENGLAND AND

known, issues no bills under 100
francs, (until lately, none nnder 5OO)
and the Bank of England has none
under 95 sterling. Thus the real
circulation among the people of those
countries is gold and silver, and the
quantities of these in active use at all

largely exceed our own. .'" : -

UBanks are supposed to afford
a safe place for the deposit of public
funds. This is another mistake. Sew
eral hundred OF these safe deposito-
ries have broken, failed, within the
last twenty years, and how many
moro will break, during the same
time to come, the wisest cannot fore
tell. There has been at least thirty
times the amount lost to individuals

themselves had kept their money.
