INCREASE OF RATS.-The Farmers Ga
zette (English) asserts and proves by figures
that one pair of rats will have a progeny and
descendants no less than 651 ,050 in three
years. Now. unless this immense family can
be kept down, they would consume more food
than would sustain IS, 900 human beings.

RATS VERSUS BIRDS.-Whoever engages in
shooting small birds is cruel man; whoever
aids in discriminating RATS is benefactor

ing the township organization system, must frst
comply with the provisions of this law before
being allowed to vote for the same officers. We

General Sheridan recently made a visit to
his home in Somerset, Ohio. and the day be-
fore he was to leave, Hoo. VIM. E. Fincke, a
democratic congressman, called on him and
proposed to drive him TO Lancaster, where he
would take the cars. The general at once &C

says: |" The ardor OF a number of our union
citizens was dampened, and they
express their Indignation, that he should

in Ohio and elsewhere in connection with
this circumstance, the consideration OF the
old adage birds of feather" etc What q
petty, bigoted, proscriptive spirit is manifest
in the conduct of the abolitionists OF Somerset
and Lancaster in this. Because General
Sheridan had ridden in carriage with a
democratic congressman, 1.-THE ardor OF union
men was dampened." His services In the

petty spitefuiness as was shown in the affairs
at Somerset and Lancaster, and they don'i
find il among democrats.

1t is stated by the Pittsburg Post, that
President johnson, in recent conversation,
declared that "the government could not
exist without the democratic party" Presl.
dent johnson is right, and this statement
will raise him in the estimation of all intel
ligent and honest men. The government
never has existed day without the demo-
cratic party, and it never will. Under the
guidance of democracy our country reached
an enviabls degree of prosperity. from which
it has been plunged into an abyss of ruin by
four short years of republican" msrule.-
All that is left of the elements of future
prosperity and greatness, has been saved by
persistent defense of the right by the advo.
Gates of democratic principles. Well will 1t
be for our country and the world, if Mr..
johnson. true to his former record and true
to his early Political education, shall set
himself at work to restore the landmarks of
that glorious old party which has ever been
the ro'k of our safety AMI the bQlwark of
our defense.

SUMNER ON JOHNSON. SENATOR Sumner is
down on President johnson like a thousand
of brick. He denounces him as "a UsURPER
AND AN IxPosTER ~ In letter to q negro
committee of North Carolina he says:
GAS you do me the honor to ask me the proper
stand for you to take, have no hesitation IN re-
plying that you must insist all the rights and
privileges of a citizen. They belong to you
They are yours and whoever undertakes to rob
you of them UsURPER AND AN IMPosrER.'
Now President johnson has distinctly de.
MED to these negroes "the rights and privil-
eyes of q CITIZEN" In his proclamation for
the reconstruction" of North Carolina he
denies them the right of suffrage. Therefore,
according to Sumner, he is "a usurper and an
imposter."

Well crash him, is the threat daily uttered
against the president by republicans, men
who, thirty days ago, were his ardent admir-
ers and devoted supporters. Aud for what
Simply because he declares his purpose to
abide BY the constitution. That is the head
and front of his offending so far as they are
offended. Aud if he adheres to that purpose
and puts it into practice. the democracy will
find themselves changing places with their
opponents we shall become. in their Lam
gUage, supporters of the government. and
they will be found disloyal and reasonable
-as. in fact, their leaders have been for
years.
