DSg~ Mr.. Knox in his eloquent harangue
said that the negro soldiers received $500
and white soldiers only 500. VIII Mr..
Knox, and the followers who believe as he
does, note these facts, which can be proven
10y the Co, gressionaI Globe: a law was
passed in 1864 giving soldiers $500 boun-
ty, but which in the opinion of some cop
perhcads was held to include white soldiers
only, and to remedy this, Congress at its
last session passed what was called an "ena-
bling Act" instructing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to pay the $500 bounty to the
negro nnsoldier, the same as had been done
to the white soldier two years before. This
was no special bounty5 no additional boun-
ty, there is nothing in the act which can
by any possible reasoning be construed into
a discrimination in favor Of the negroes
At the same session Of Congress there was
a law passed giving 800 extra bounty to
white soldiers who entered the army during
the caller part Of the war
Such is the truth about the bounty ques-
ton and any intelligent person who states
that it discriminates in favor of the blacks
tells a wi.fulI lie.

EEMr. George "A. Barclay is out in a
card, this week, as an independent candi-
date for Assembly. We think this very
unwise course for him to pursue. Our rc-
Iations with Mr.. Barclay have always been
pleasant, he is good radical republican,
and if he had the nomination Of his patty
we would support him with pleasure, and
we are sorry that different couuseis did not
/. fuence him. There is no necessity for a
discussion of the point at issue, our position
is so well known that it would onlpbe reit-
Grating what we have said before. Our
advice to republicans is, stick to your ticket,
do not scratch single name, either for per-
sonal friendship or private spite. You
made your nominations and You are in
honor bount to support them.

GE-A few lone stars of the once yicto-
rious democracy gathered themselves toge-
ther in the Court Room on the evening of
last Thursday, and in the shade of a " Ian
tern dimly burning" made the following
preparation for the October sacrifice:
For Associate Judges, W. F. Burt Of
Coudersport, and Zamon Robinson, Of Har-
rison; Treasurer, Alme,on Nelson, of Eu-

bot; Commissioner, Charles Goats, of Ale
gany; Register and Recorder, Jerome Leet,
Of Bingham; Auditor, John NJ. Lyman, of
Rouet.
Personally, we have nothing to say
against any of these gentlemen. We be-
Iieye them all to be honest and worthy CIT
izens, and there are some for whom we
would like to vote under different circum.
stances, and with slightly different political
principles. As it is only to keep organi-
zation, and with nc expectation of election,
that these gentlemen concluded to make
another sacrifice at this time, we do not
deem it necessary to say anything further.

never saw an armed Rebel those who never
saw a battle; those who always ran away
in time Of need; those who were out Of
their minds They never viii see Sol
dier vote for Clymer that has a mark Of a
Rebel bullet in his flesh, or who ever stool
up by the flag Of his country. | know Of
but one soldier who would vote for Heister
! Ciymer and he is one of the dough-face
kind who never saw an armed Rebel.
When such a soldier gets to talking about
the wag he makes great wind, but ask
him il he received wound while in battle
and his answer will be as follows: "No but
/ | had some Id close calls. | had a
number Of balls shot through my aothes" :"
/ That is the kind of soldier that will vote
for Hester CIymer. Does the Ciymer
party think that the soldiers are blind? If
so, they will find themselves as much mis-
taken as when George B. Mcclellan was
defeated in 1864. They will learn that
the soldiers do not fear party who would
try to kill every one of them if they could.
The Pennsylvania soldiers are well ac-
quainted with Maj. Gen. John W. Geary.
He is we'll known to them as good soldier
and friend to the enlisted man. He will
get my vote, and the votes of all soldiers
Who were soldiers. This is from a soldier
who always did lis duty and stood IN by
the flag of his country till the bullets of
the Rebels broke both his legs from under

From the Rarenns Democrat:

l. ARLAA N-S
On Tuesday of last week, Miss Nettie
Gurley, a young lady about sixteen years
Of age, daughter of A. ID. Gurley, at the
residence Of George Prindle, in Roots
town, had assembled a cherry tree and
seated herself upon q branch thereof,
which suddenly broke, p~recipitating her
backwards to the ground, a distance of
eight or ten feet. She fell heavily upon
her head and shoulders, injuriug both her
brain and spine. When found she was
insensibIe, and soon went into commissions
which continued for four days. These
have o ceased, aud Miss Nettie is i'm
proving rapidly.
On Thursday of last week Caleb Hotch-
kiss, of Mantua township, on a wager,
hitched himself to a 500 pound one-horse
wagon and dragged it to Ravenua, a dis
lance of eleven and a quarter miles, be-
tween half-paEt nine in the morning and
half-past six IN the evening. He won
SIC, and returned home with a pair of
very sore feet.
On Saturday, the It'll inst, while in the
act of filling q box with Babbet metal in

Twinsburg, Mr.. David Herrick, owner Of
the mill, and Mr.. II. A. Taylor, of this

eyes, by the explosion of water in the box,
caused by the heat of the metal. They
are both doing well, but it will be some

business.
