Now AND THEN.-Professor Silliman
in his diary speaks ofa visit he made to
Saratoga in 1897. 1t was rather in con-
trast with the Saratoga of our times.
He says g We mounted our horses one
day and rode seven or eight miles
through the pine forest, with its delight
full fragrance, and arrived at a place
where they said there were some mine
raj springs. There was not even vii
lage, but only two or three log houses
standing among the pine trees. The
people were civil, and provided hay for
our horses, and for ourselves bacon and
eggs. They piloted us intoa morass
where natnre was unsubdued, and step
ping cautiously from bog to bog, we
soon arrived at a spIing which they call
ed the Congress Spring, which tasted as
it does now"

What of the Future.

The indifference of the people to the de-
signs of the Radicals, renders the future OF
our country very uncertain. The amend
ment to the Constitution now so loudly talk
ed about will never be adopted by the South
ern States, and the Radicals never expected
that it would be- the refusal to adopt it
will, however, furnish pretext for the Rad
icals to carry out their designs, which are
the establishing of consolidated system,
upon the present form of government. The
Radicals are determined on the South adopt
ing their amendment, and the South is just
as determined in their opposition to it. A
Southern paper, now before u.s. says that it
knows Of but two Southern papers that IA
vor the amendment, and they have but little
influence in guiding public opinion; it con-
tinues by saying that the people of the
South cannot think for moment Of volun-
tarily degrading themselves sand surrendering
the essential principles of freedom by adopt
ing the amendment. To expect them to do
so requires stretch of Imagination in the
highest degree romantic, and forfeiture of
self-respect wholly inconsistent with their
past history"
In state of peace at time when they
have chosen representatives to Congress who
are violently excluded therefrom, the South
ern people will not so far violate their obli-
cations to the Constitution as to entertain a
proposition which they had no voice in franz
ing and submitting. Whether it were for OF
against their interests, their good faith and
patriotism would forbid the violation of the
elementary rules expressly laid down in the
United States Congress. AS great an out
rage as it is, and as patent and inexcusable
infraction of the Constitution and of their
rights as it is, they Will submit indefinitely
to the wrong, rather than become parties to
it, by adopting its measures.
The question then arises what viii this re-
fusal result in? IF the Northern people
persist in sustaining the Radical party, it
must result, as we have already stated, in
the subversion Of our present system of
government
Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-11-14

have often done so since. Monarchs who
have trampled the laws have almost always
found lawyer ready to prove the lawfulness
of their acts-to establish learnedly that vio-
lence was just, and that the oppressed were
in the wrong"
This is the sort of rule from which Mary
land has just been delivered, and which the
Radical Republicans would, if they could,
establish in all parts of this land. The scep-
tire, however, is departing from them. The
reaction has commenced. The people are
surely, though slowly, awaking to the dan
ger which threatens their liberties. In the
language of Macaulay, spoken of the state
of England after the great civil war-''This
nation is not given over to slavery and vice.
1t is sleeping on the lap of Delilah, traitor
ously chained, but not yet shorn of strength.
Let the cry be once heard ''the Philistines
be upon thee - and at once that sleep will
be broken and those chains will be as flax in
the fire. The sun is darkened but it is only
for moment; it is but an eclipse though
all birds Of evil omen have begun to scream
and all ravenous beasts have gone forth to
prey, thinking it to be midnight. Woe to
them if they be abroad when the rays again
shine forth Ir'

War.

We want no more of the scourge of war
Quite enough of blood has been spilled and
treasure wasted. The country needs peace
that the people, by settling down to their
old eallings and pursuits, may restore ma
terial prosperity and happiness. Humanity
shrinks from the shedding of fraternal blood,
and the great majority of the American peo-
pie, true to its instincts, desire peace and
fraternal feeling.
The Radical leaders, however, want more
blood. Jackal and hyena-like the taste they
have had only whets their appetite for more.
Blood blood Beast Butler and Forney,
and the lesser animals of the pack through
out the country yelp in their feeble way,

Appointment.

Hon. Jasper B. Stark, of this place, has
received the appointment of Revenue Col
lector of this district in place of Joseph A.
Scranton, removed. The appointment we
believe to be a most excellent one, as Mr..
Stark is most energetic business man, in
every way competent, entirely responsible, a
good fnancier, and an ardent supporter of
the government policy. The removal is
also a timely one, as the old incumbent of
the Office has been one of the most unre-
lenting and indiscriminate vilifers of the
President in the district, and was one of the
" shining lights" in the Disunion County
Convention last Fall, at which resolutions
were adopted defamatory of President John
son. Had Mr.. Scranton been more a man
he would have disdained to hold an Office
under the administration and the govern
ment which he was using his energies and
his money to destroy. Had he held his
place under the despotic Lincoln, less hei-
nous offence would have consigned him tc
the historic precincts of Fort Delaware, OF
Lafayette. As we hope never to see another
Reign of Terror ike that under which
Chase, and Kulp, and Davenport, were ar
rested, and hosts of others consigned tc
dungeons, we feel more like congratulatine
gentlemen like the late Collector that they
are permitted to escape with only remova

Brutal Assault.

On Monday last the family Of Mr.. James
Township, came to our Office with a friend
of theirs to relate the terrible ordeal which
they had passed through on the Saturday
night previous 1t is such a story of fend-
ish recklessness as makes the blood run cold,
and elicits from every one the declaration
that such men are not fit to live except in
prison and in chains. The villains were five
in number. Thos. Lotus, Edward Welsh,
Patrick Welsh. Michael Welsh and Michael
Sammon. Between ~ and l o'clock on the
night alluded to these five went to the house
Of old James McGinnis, man of some so
years broke in his door, and demanded that
Joseph McGinnis the old man. son, be de-
hvered into their hands, ''they wanted to
kill him. " On being informed that he was
not in the house, they compelled Mrs. Nc
Ginnis to light two candles and show them
every part of the house Enraged at being
foiled, Michael Welsh, knocked down the
stove pipe and advised his comrades to burn
| the house, at the same time an assault was
commenced on the old man, who was knock
ed down, and bruised and cut aboutth head
and body with stones, untilhe was faint from
the loss of blood and supposed to be dead.
| His daughter a girl of some u or Is, cried
murder when she was seized by one of the
rufians and threatened with being choked
and crammed into closet if she would not
keep still. Joseph McGinnis, the object of
the search, hearing the cries of his parents,
and suspecting foul play, hurried to the
house armed with gun. On entering the
house he warned them that he would shoot
| if they did not desist At this small sister
was seized and held before the gun, while
Mrs. McGinnis herself besought her son not
to shoot and really prevented him from Civ
| ing the demons the contents of the gun
which they so richly deserved, and which
might have saved himself most inhuman
beating, which he got during the struggle
There have been warrants out we are told
for many months for Lotus and one or more
of the Welsh boys, but there devilishness
has rendered them sort of terror to the
officers Edward Welsh bit the two ears fl
of John McEnelly year ago. Lotus beat
Michael O'Coyle merchant in Sebastopol
severely short time ago. We trust the
community will take this matter in hand
let these offenders be brought to justice and
taught that there is law in the land which
may not be violated with such impunity.-

A Gain of Two.

The Radical press of the country is con-
graduating the party ON its gains in the re-
cent elections. There is without doubt great
reason for this, they have gained two negro
members to the Massachusetts, Legislature.
This is triumph in more than single sense,
while it adds to the party strength and odor
in the House of Representatives, it also
proves that the negro worshiping party has
perfect control of the "hub of the universe. :"
