TREATMENT OF NEGROES IN THE SOUTH
Judge Carter. who has returned from an
extensive trip through tie South, that the
cruelty to the freedmen, and the number of
homicides among them by the whites, are
increasing to fearful extent, especially in
places where the troops are withdrawn. Judge
Carter has copy Of the iSoawthern Sem,
which says. If the Yankees are alarmed
at the killing ola few hundred niggers a
day, in states where they have the protection
Of yankee troops to a certain extent, what
will be their alarm after the departure of the
military forces and the readmission into the
Union of those states as sovereign powers,
who will then have complete organization
of militia in each county, which will give
the South standing army that can bid de-
fiance to the world.

COUNTY UNION NOMINATIONS.
IN TROUBLE ONCE MORE.

The Editor Of the Clearfeld Republican
is again troubled in spirit. His case we
fear, in this instance, is desperate one, and
unless some timely remedy be applied may
prove fatal. He appears to have violent
attack of soldier on the brain, brought a.
bout directly, we are led to infer from his
spasmodic rawlings last week, by the Repub-
lican nominations in this county. Having,
since the close of the rebellion, affected
great solicitude for the temporal welfare of
the returned defenders of our flag" the
nomination of that worthy class of our citi-
zens by the Republican party here, pl ICES
him in a rather awkward attitude inasmuch
as all the candidates of the Sham Democra-
cy for local offices, (all more or less good
paving ones are all old party hacks-not a
returned soldier" either with or without
shoulder straps" has a place on their
ticket. Ifyou are so much concerned about
giving the returned soldiers" something
Substantial If you do not want them ''to
stand out in the cold If you do not wish
to see them ''ticklcd with the barren COM
''cannot be elected why not withdraw
your ticket and make your professions good
by your acts? You have the power to do
It. A nomination on your ticket, as you in
innate, is equivalent to an election in this
county and district The offices are 'hand-
some institutions" The position of State
Senator pays good Why not get Mr. Wal
lace to step aside for a returned soldier"
An Assemblyman is supposed to have a
sure thing of it. Why does not Doctor
Boyer ask returned soldier to take his
place? The positions of Prothonotary and
Register and Recorder could be hand
somely filled by returned soldiers Why
not Etzweiler and Barger show their sym
pathy'' by asking soldiers to run in their
stead? And as to County Treasurer, it is
said to be particularly nice paying affair
now Why does not Daniel Moore-disin-
terested, patriotic Daniel-who al,oays was
friend of the soldier, who has been Treas
urer once before, and also served four
years term as Especial Agent" of the
Post Office Department-why, we ask, does
not Daniel invite some manned hero to ac-
cept ofhis position on the Democratic ticket,
for place which is not 'humbuggery, but
is worth several thousand dollars year
If there is any sincerity in your professions
if your friendship for the soldier is not af-
fected-if your talk is not mere bosh and
clap-trap, Mister editor of the Republican,
ask those whom you have right to ask, to
get out OF the way for the returned SOL
diers, and then at the October election
cast your votes for them, and we will not
have word to say against you on that score.
Unless you do this the public will regard
all your talk about the returned soldiers"
as CANNON of the oiliest and rankest species
an empty honor, an unsubtantiaI eompli-
ment, intended only to mislead and to de-
ceiye.

WE'LL MATCHED,

There is coincidence In the nomination
| of the editor of the Doaestoere Des5locrat,
for Auditor General, and the selectionof the
Senator from Cleariield as the Chairman Of
the Copperhead State Central Committed,
| which the fighting men OF Pennsylvania can-
! not fail to see. Indeed the meu who left
| the comforts of their homes, and gave up the
interest of their business, to peril their lives
on the battle field in defence of the safety of
the Government, believing that they would
| not forfeit any OF the franchises OF citizen
| skip. are under peculiar obligations to W.
w. Ii. Davis editor of the DoyleSt0iCn
Democrat, and w. A. Wallace, Senator from
Clearfeld. When the question of the right
of the soldiers to suffrage was before the
Legislature, Mr. Wallace was its bitterest
assailant. He opposed it because he believed
a refusal to extend such right to the SOL
diers absent from Pennsylvania was fitting
rebuke to those engaged In an unholy war;
He demanded it because he desired TO show
| that men brutaliZed by the inhumanities of
a civil war waged to destroy the brave and
chivalric people of the slave States, were
unfit to exercise a freeman right. unworthy
| to be trusted with the sacred privileges of
| the ballot Yet to-day William a. Wallace
is the Chairman OF the Copperhead Central
Committee and viii shortly engage in ap-
peals to the soldiers, whom he so lately
characterized as unfit to vote in the field, to
cast their votes when at home for Davis and
| Linton. And when the question of ratify-
| ing the amendment to the Constitution ne
cessary to extend the election franchise to
| the soldier came before the people, the
| DOyieSto1cR Democrat, owned and control
| ed by W. ". I'll. Davis, now the copper
| head candidate for Auditor General, echoed
all the vile SANDER heaped upon the sol
diers by Wallace, and added to the copper
head SANDERS by coming new fasehoods to
defeat that great measure of justice to our
| fighting men. Gen. DAVIS, own journal then
completely under his control and supposed
to reflect his views, denounced the PROPOSE
ton to enfranchise the soldier the determi-
nation to place the country beneath the heel
of military despotism, which the people cut
side of the army should resist at the peril of
their lives
Wallace and the Doylestown Democrat
are still the representatives of the copper
head organization VIII the soldiers of
Pennsylvania be led by these influences
VIII the soldiers who have just returned to
civil life, disgrace their military record by
voting at the bidding OF one man for an
other, both of whom denied the soldiers the
exercise of the elective franchise at a time
when he was giving the highest proofs OF
his rights to all the privileges of citizenship
| We believe that no soldier with any regard
| for his honor will be thus controlled in his
tyote--Ie{egT0ph.

The National Finances,

The Secretary of the Treasury presents a
favorable report of the condition Of the Ma
tional finances on the 3lst of August Du-
ring the preceding month the principal of
the National debt was increased only 1895,
900, while the interest on the debt has been
decreased nearly S23l 900. Nearly $44, 500,-
600 in coin, and nearly $43, 600, 600 in cur
rency, are now in the treasury, and the sus-
pended acquisitions only are little oyer
$4,000, 900. The receipts from internal rev
enuc for the last two months, have ayerag-
ed nearly Sl,o00,00o per day, sum that
should be amply sufficient to defray all the
expenses of the Government, which would
leave us, on the present basis of taxation, &
sum equal to our entire receipts from Gus
toms, to be applied to the liquidation of the
public debt. Thus it becomes more and
more clearly evident that the American peo
pie are abundantly able and dwilling to main
tain the burden of the interest ofthe Nation.

THE New ENGLAND MANUFACTURERS
have much trouble in finding skilled labor to
carry on their establishments upon which
there is great demand from the south, for
cotton goods, agricultural implements, shoes,
and, indeed every other article indispensable
to domestic use and personal comfort. The
absence of skilled labor is owing to several
causes. Four years general suspension of
the factories which usually supplied theSouth
diverted laboring men into other channels
! and into the army While business is as
continual as the demand for their labor
-Four years is one-sixth Of the active part of
mans life, and a stoppage of four years,
labor would diminish the constant supply Of
skilled labor one-sixth of its whole amount.
But in addition to this loss Of supply, large
portion of the men who entered the army
have been killed or disabled, and in some of
the New England towns we are told th at
the absence of men in the prime of life is
strikingly apparent Others who went
South with the army prefer to remain there,
finding more fertile field for their enter
prise. The large cities have not suffered in
this way to SO great an extent, and have
there usually more laborers than there is en-
ployment. The announcement of the wants
of the New England manufacturers may pos
siby assist to transfer this surplus labor to
fields where there is greater demand forlt.
