Increase of Cline.

The close of the war seems to have
ushcred in, all over the country, carni
val of murder, robbery and all the de-
grees of lawlessness and crime. Murder
ers, thieves and assassins infest our com.
munlties to an extent that threatens to dis
or ganize society, unless the machinery of
justice be sire ngthen to meet the emer-
gcucy. The people have live under a
condition of intense excitement during the
past four years, and have been p,~dc ia
mliar with the recital of deeds OF violence
and bloodshcd and perhaps they do not
realize the appalling nature of the criminal
record that inaugurates the reign of
peace. But when it is cosidered that the
police returns exhibit statement o twen-
ty thousand arrests made within the past
three months in New York alone and when
the public journals, day after day, recount
the swelling lists of offences against the
persons and property of citizens, it is i'm.
possible TO avoid the conclusion that the
moral atmosphere has been tainted with
fresh elem ents of poison.
Various explanations are offered of this
astounding increase Of crime. Some as
sert that it is owing to the disbandment of
the great armies of the North and South,
abruptly transferring wild and reckless
chracters from the camp to civil ife. Many
OF the soldiers engaged in the late struggle
were men of respectable antceedonts, gen
orally honest and Industrious members of
the working classes. But it is not 10 be
denied that the Federal ranks were partly
recruited from the refuse of foreign popu-
lations, and numbered thousands of ad,
venturerss deSperadoes, cut. purses and
cut-throats from the Old World. Toward
the close OF the war the chief incentive 10
enlistment was money, and the enormous
bounties paid attracted the mercenary
spirits OF the world to the Federal stand.

ted by this circumstance, and bounty

high character as citizen, gentleman and
sound Democrat, he would, if nominated
make an available candidate. We COM

of the question and finding the fountain
of their prfots suddenly sealed, they do
not scruple TO enter other channels of pro-
fessional knavery.
These men,wo are confdent,aro the gar

that are infosting the neighborhood of our
great cities. For the most part, the re-
turning soldiers, those, we mean, who
enlisted 10 fight and not to jnmp the boun-
ty, are quietly resuming the avocations of
peaceful life. There is no trouble to be
apprehcndod from soldier that has done
his duty in the field but from the skulk-
ers, the bounty jumpers and the bounty
brokers, thcro is more mischief to be pro
vidcd against than, perhaps our quiet law
abiding citizens are aware of.
Our communities must be protected
against these desperadocS. and, if the
ministers of justice are not equal to th'
task, then let the natural laws of self pro

here, that law and order is to pravail ,ant
it will not be difficult to awe the evil dis

The County Convention.

As the time is near at hand for the

our friends the necessity Of sending good

who will best represent the wishes of the
people. The Convention should look fur

in is all important. To what extent shall

AN English Bostonian on the
American Clergy.

The old town Of Boston, in Lincolnshire
is very "unprogressed' place. Recent
ly, at meeting Of the Town council, in
which it was proposed to send to the gov
ernmcnt Of Boston a series of rc.olutiops
OF sympathy on account Of the murder Of
President Lincoln (Which were finally
passed by vote of to 5), warm dis.
cussion sprang up, and Mr.. Counsellor
Clcgg thus ventilated his opinions upon the
American clergy. Said MIR. CIegg:

Scripture, and found a hundred texts
which in the name of the Lord sanctioned
murder and rapine aAd robbery, and the
burning OF dwelling houses over the heads
of women and children in uufortifyd town,

as reported their own journals, you have

to be repeated. Instead ofusipg their in
iiuonce, as ministers of religion, to calm
the tempest OF human passion, their sole
object seemed to be to let loose 'one spirit .

The Soldiers Friends.

That an election is at hand can easily
be seen by the attempts Of the opposition
to court soldiers votes, Not only do they
pretend to be bis best friends, but endeavor
10 excite them sganst Democrats. The
Republican party, we broadly assert, is
not the soldiers friend. True, they as.
sert they gave him the elective franchise,
but not 10 benefit him, but for the purpose
Of turning the army votes to their own
purposes by fraudulent means. By means
of enormous frauds, gifts of places, sales
of furleughs, &c., they won the majority
Of that vote, but now he is untrammeled
by military dctation--his ballots need not
pass through the hands Of Republican
Pos, MaSterS--and he can vote as his rea.
son dictates.
ln the first place the Republicans en-
deavor to dobase the white soldier by
placing him on an equality with tho ne
gro, an admitted inferior. Nay, more
than this, many Republicans assert the
Negro soldiers to be better than the white |!
Again, the Republicans show their love
for the sol dier by heaping abuse on such
mon as Mcclellan, Sherman, Buell., and
other prominent Generals and the mis-
cegenation sheet of this place has made
its most cowardly assaults upon Demo.
cratic soldiers from this County, simply
because they were Democrats.
We hold the Republicans responsible,
also, for the murder Of our men at Sails
bury, Andersonville, Danvillo, and other
Confederate prisons, because these men
could all have been exchanged had not the
Administration insisted on tho exchange of
a few negroes first.
We charge the Rcpu blcan party with
unduly prolonging this war, and even now
trying to excite another.
They are responsible for first Offering
men Sl00 Bounty TO servo "onc year or
during the war; and then refusing to pay
it on their discharge.
They are the oues, also, who keep no.
groes and negro families in "Frcodmen
Homes" &C., even erecting u Bureau with
Gen. Howard at the head for the special
care of these Government pets, while
wounded soldiers and their families arc
turned upon the cold charities of the
world, and in many cases have already
become township charges.
The Republicans, because in power arc
to blame because they can at once cash
shoddy contractors, but keep the soldier,
bis widow, or mother, months and years
out OF their arrearages of pay, and that
miserable pittance called "Pension."
They can boast and fetc such warriors
as Burnside, Butler, Dix, aud that ilk,
while they accuse many Of our bravcst and |
best soldiers Of Treason.
Soldiers, examine the record Of the
prominent Republicans of this county ,and
in what light does it stand What blood
or money have they contributed more than
men of Democratic faith ? We arc salts
led with your answer as given last No.

The Ghost of Abraham Lincoln

There are class of politicians that
would grind the bones of their fathers to
make their political bread. The Black
Republicans and War Democrats struggled
with each other which should make the
most capital out of the assassination o!
Mr.. Lincoln. Bat when the popular ex-
citement upon the subject was allaycd
they dropped the curtain pom utheir apoth.
costs of the dead President, and concon-
trated their attention upon the management
of the living one. We hear nothing now
of the liberal projects Of the Loyal Lea.
guers to build Lincoln monument, and
the family of the murdered President have
heard as little latterly, we are assured, of
the hundred thousand dollars that was to
be collected for their use ,in fulfillment of a
peoples sacred obligation.
But Andrew Johnson's advisers still
use the memory of his predecessor to hold
him in subordination. If any measure is
in contemplation that is Objectionable to
Mr.. Johnson's Democratic iuclinations,
the ghost Of Abraham Lincoln is copjurcd
up, and tho spectral influence invoked to
compel obedience. "NIr. Lincoln would
have done so and so,' and "Such was Mr.
Lincoln's policy" and "Mr. Lincoln cx-
pressed himself thus upon this subjeet'"--
Under such system Of terrorism, man
OF strongest will might succumb TO the
Vaccinations of his inquisitors. BY in
sisting that the friends of Mr.. Lincoln ex.
poctcd and commanded it, Mr.. johnson was
induced to sign the death warrant OF Mrs.
Surratt.
We do not wonder that bis health has
given way under such routine of survoil.
lance and mental torture. Let us hope
that he has sufficient vitality to survive
the ordeal, and sufficient energy to break
the spell, and assert his own individuality.
The Republic needs live President; it
cannot afford to be governed at the dicta-
ton of phantom. We hope that the liv.
ing Executive will make an effort to os-
cape from the political neicomancers who
hold him within their charmed circle, for
until then there will be but tho name of
Andrew Johnsonin Office, and the substance
Of authority will be with Cabinet that
was not of bis own selection, and with
whom lie has neither sympathy nor con.
lrol.
