ScANDALous.-Thc New York Herald
says that some persons, who were in
straitcned circumstances before they got
their fingers into matters connected with
the Sanitary Commission, now keep their
carriages and live in style! 1t is an un-
gracious task to criticisc any enterprise
which assumes to have benevolent pur-
poses in view and for this reason, prob
ably, the Sanitary Commission has pass
ed unchallengcd, though there has been
abundant evidence that it was partly a
speculation, mainly controlled by politi-
clans bankrupt in character and fortune.
The National Intclligenccr calls attention
to the fact that the Western Department
has spent, according to its own report,
1927 ,472 sc, in the distribution of $685.
592 SO worth Of supplies The officers
Of the Commission charge two dollars for
spending onc We ask the intelligent
reader if the aboye does not smack of
swindling? Ninety three thousand dol
lars expended in purchasing supplies for
soldiers, and one hundred and thirtythree
thousand, in round numbers, expended in
paying the salaries OF officers, ETC.! The
Eastern Department, though frequently
called upon, has made no financial report
at all. This, Of itself, is presumptivc cvi.
dence that it is rotten to the core. 1t
shrinks from investigation.

BIG GuNs VERSUS SMALL ONES. Some
weeks ago the New York Tribune electri.
fed loyalty by announcing that seven
mile guns had been sent to Grant, with
which he proposed to destroy Richmond
The doomed city" was considered gone
in institution by those who had conf
dencc in Greeley's statements. They
watched eagerly and listened impaticntly
for the tclegraphic report that Grant had
commenced Smelling Richmond, seven
miles distant. The New York World
thus disposcs Of Greelcy's last sensation
story
1t this statement is true, then there is no
hope of capturing the Rebel capitol this cam
paign. Gen. Grant would never attempt to
destroy city he expected TO occupy. The
monotonous Smelling of Charleston was not
begun until it was clear that there was no pos
sibity of getting the city. Of course it is all
nonsense to expect that throwing a few shells
into Richmond from point seven miles dis
tant, will destroy that city. Vicksburg was
not destroyed, though SHELLS poured into it
night and day, from fleet and army, not two
miles distant. Night and day are vexed With
the roar Of guns from Morris Island yet
Charleston could stand it for several years
No; either this correspondent states whist he
knows to be false, for the sake of an idle SEN
satlon, or else the public are to be again hum
plugged with some harmless fireworks to smuse
them. and thus distract their attention from
the failure OF the campaign against Richmond"

ELATEp.-The Abolitiouists are greatly
eiated at the triumph Of their party, and
taunt and jeer the democracy, to the an.
noyance of sensitive Democrats. They
ought not to be annoyed. They should
proudly remember that Democrats admin.
istcrcd this government for tlree.quarters
OF a century and during that period the
country was blessed with uninterrupted
peace, prosperity and happiness. When
the AbolitionistS got into power, they
Immediately involved US in a war which
has cost million Of lives and four bill
lions Of dollars, besides other countless
calamities. If Abo!itionists can glory in
such results and glory in the prospect Of
increasing them, Democrats ought to take
pride in the denuncatiOns Of such enc
mics Of their country and race, and not
feel annoyed by them. The conscious
ness OF having discharged our duty to our
God and country in supporting the Dem
ocratic party, more than compensates US
for the jecrs Of tools Of corruption and
power.

SURPRISED. 1t is now seventeen years
which have elapsed since we were sur
prised. And this morning we were much
surprised very much Of it. A wo-
man, who is Republican in politics, who
says that we are a traitors rebel-a
bad, wicked, and, as she believes, an aw-
full man, asked US to head list Of sub.
scriptionS to some church project! 1t
was enough to surprise even the devil -
To think that a oman that has so freely
expressed her opinion Of us should have
the courage to speak unto US touching
those matters, was beyond our compre.
hension. And still further, to think that
81. -. e -. 'As~& ,SNSnin like. ourselC.
should be wanted. Surely the cause Of
churches must be languishing, when
woman has to appeal to such terrible
sinner as VIC are charged with being by
the Republicans, for means to sustain their
great principles, which are lasting like the
hills Of God Oh no! don't ask us for
money. If you believe half you tell of
us, never ask us to head subscription
list. Rather GO to the simple, mora, 10y
al, patriotic, Smpering Miss NancieS, who
smirk, smile, and, under the garb Of by.
pocrisy, servo the devil with the same
energy we are charged with doing. Ard
again, how can it be expected that a man
as poor as we are, and whose sins call for
so much extravaganza, should be able to
donate to the cause Of God as well as
Mammon. - La Crosse Democrat

Kentucky and buy all surplus hogs, at
eight cents per pound, delivered in Louis

prohibiting any railroad or steamboat
from taking hogs out Of the State Some
of the people are much excited, as well
they may be, at these arbitrary orders,

How TIE Monty GOES. The New York
papers estimate the cost Of Gen. Butler's
expedition to that city to carry it for the
AboltionistS, and Of the entertainment OF
himself and staff at the Hoffman House,
at six hundred thousand dJIlars The
Administration can afford to be liberal
with the peoples money and use 1t to
perpctuatc its power. The harrisburg
Patriot says ''the Government expended
four hundred thousand dollars on the
day Of election in transporting voters on
railroads from one county to another" il
that State, In this way the peoples
money is squandered by the AdminiStra-
ton. Increased taxation and poverty
must be the result Of such cxtrayagance
and corruption.

The Derry or DEMOCRATS We clip
the following from the Columbus (OHoj
Crisis
40 acknowi edge a decision, and to &C,
luiesce in it, even though known to be
wrong, is one thing; but to accept that
decision as final, is quite another thing -
To consider the decision Of nljorty ~
/ final, whether erroneous or right, is sim
ply absolutism, and obviates the necessity
Of further electors. by such an odmiS.
sion the people would have shackIrd
themselves beyond redemption to all man
ncr of fanatical and destructive i>mS fifty
years ago; to admit it now would be vol
untary scrvitude to the worst comhina-
ton Of isms ever developed in this
county.
I THE Administration has right t.
claim that the decision Of the people is Al
endorsement Of all its policies; even to
the establishment Of the social and poiti-
cal equality Of the negro; but there is
neither sense nor justice in the prepostcr.
Gus claim that the minority must cease
their opposition to those policies. When
the majority of the people have given an
erroneous judgment upon the policies af-
fecting the whole people, the obligation
upon the minority to discuss and oppose
such policies by all legitimate means, with
the view of correcting the error, is aug
mented.
1.-The endorsement Of the destructive
and suicidal policies Of the present Fcde-
raj Administration shows that there is a
greater necessity for thorough and can.
did discussion Of those policies than ever
before existed for it shows that there is
wide spread and most dangerous miSap.
prehension Of the powers Of the Govern.
ment and the just principles upon which
il was founded, which can only be removed
by discussion and the continuance of le-
climate opposition. The election devolves
upon the Democracy paramount obliga-
ton to perseveringly keep before the PEG.
pie the true principles Of the Government,
the just limits of delegated power, the
transcendent and binding force of the fun
damental law. This we must continue to
do whether the majority heed or not, so
long as there is a vestige of the rights of
citizens rem0ining-so long as anybody
has the heart to claim for our country the
character Of republic.
4" Let Democrats everywhere organize
and discuss local, State and Federal meas
ures and policy; let them meet often and
meet in harmony, discussing the ques.
tons which come up for State and Feje.
raj legislation currency, tariff. an arms
tice and a convention Of the States to set.
tie this war, and if necessary to amend
State and Federal constitutions. Let
them one and all join Democrats clubs

An APPROPRIATE GIFr.-Judge Kelly
and other Abolitionists Of Philadelphia,
says the New Hampshire Patriots, have
presented a medal to President Lincoln.
The medallion has the bust of Washing
ton on one side, and that OF Lincoln on
the other. The peculiar felicity of this
design is apparent to the most obtuse.-
Washington was patriot and hero, and
Lincoln is unqucstionabIy the reverse.

"UaDER WHICH King" loyal Supcrvi-
sors, OF their last meeting, made Judies of
themselves BY passing an order directing Justi.
ces OF the Peace to collect all fines and penal.
ties imposed in their Courts in gold or silver
coin. They overstepped the bounds Of their
duty in making the order, and it is entitled 10
no more respect than if made by the most
worthless hummer in the county, and will re.
cclve no more from any intelligent Justice
In all other matters the will OF the Abolition
learders is accepted as the construction of the
law by their party, and this departure from
mat rule IN the matter Of money, proves what
we have always believed and saId-that Abo-
lition patriotism had its foundation in The pock.
ct,and when the demands OF the Government"
CONFLICT with their money interests, and begin
TO gnaw at that foundation, the whole super.
structure Of loyalty will tumble into ruins
The leaders have spoken on this point, and we
now demand of these loyal gentlemen under
(which king" they will serve, San Francisco
Shoddy, or the Grand Slchem at Washington?
Ihey cannot serve two masters. We doubt
their "loyalty." we believe they are ready TO
betray the Government" and that they may
understand what is required Of them by Abra
ham, the law-giver, who "can do no wrong"
We give below two sections of the Gold Bill of
Thad Stevens, his first counselor, and demand
Of them to endorse the doctrine contained in
them, lest they be written down as traitors
SSc. .. And be it further enacted, That
