CARTRIDGE Box VS.. BALLOT Box

CARTRIDGE Box VS.. BALLOT Box
In order to show what a difference it
makes whether an election is carried on
by the cartridge box or the ballot box, it
pmay be mentioned that the Congressional
District opposite Cincinnati gave at the
recent election, $3.50 Democratic majori
ty. Green Clay Smith, by the aid Of
Lincoln's bayonets, was elected to the
present "Rump" Congress from this Dis
trict by 1,245 Cartridge box) majority.
The ballot box tells different story.

SOUND TALK.-We intend, says the
La Crosse Democrat, to stab away at the
"public credit" if that is what you call
this damnable injustice to the working
men Of America who are now compelled
to support the government-to pay all
the taxes and to pay interest on the bonds
held by the thieves, minions, tools and
right-hand swindlers Of the late admins
tration. We fail TO see why one man
should be rich and pay no taxes, and a
poor man over the way support his own
family in poverty, and then sell his chill
dren to poverty and labor to support the
exempted Bond Holder. If you folks
don't want bonds repudiated, tax them
as other property. You paid your mon
ey-you take your choice!

A correspondent writing from Meadow
Lake, September 7th, to the Grass Valley
Union, says quite a number of business men
are packing up and removing their stocks
to milder quarters. Appearances indicate
that in the course Of two or three weeks
Meadow Lake will be deserted by all its
transient population, and the number who
will remain there this winter is not likely to
be as large as last winters population
Busin ess houses which have rented for 500
to $3.50 a month, are now offered free to the
occupants, if they will take them.

To MAKE A WoMAN-The Paducah
(Ky.) Record says that an ingenious me-
chanic in that city is about to undertake
to manufacture woman out of the mod
ern improvements, such as false busts,
false hair, false teeth, false legs and calves,
palpitating bosoms, etc.. !; and the only
thing that stumps him is how he viii
make the thing breathe. Before he gets
the debris put together, thinks the Re-
cord, there will be some invention that
will answer his purpose. We would ad-
wise the seeker after knowledge not to
give much for patent on his invention,
however-it will never pay. It is impos-
sible to improve on the real arti Gle, and
''the generality of mankind in general"
will stick to the old-fashioned order of
womanhood, with real busts, real hair,
real teeth, and the other real arrange
ments too numerous to be referred to at
the present time.

A TIMELY WARNING.-At the great
Democratic meeting, which was held at
Reading, Pennsylvania, recently, says the
Crisis, the Hon. Montgomery Blair pre-
dicted that if the Radicals carried the
October election the result would be the
establishment of two Presidents and two
Congresses. He asserted that it was the
intention of the Radicals toimpeach Pres
ident johnson in that event and turn him
out; whilst the Democratic members
would unite and form Congress with the
regularly elected members from the
south. He warned his hearers that they
were on the eve of another civil war, the
battlefield of which would be in the
North, whilst the South would remain q
unit.

In HEALTH.-The editor of the New
Haven (Conn.) Register, writing from
the Clifton House, Niagara, says:
awe met, accidentally, with Hon.
John G. Breckenridge, who happened to
be day here with some friends, and
with whom he spent pleasant half-hour.
He is in splendid health and condition, a
little bronzed by exposure, few more
gray hairs than when we last met with
him, seven or eight years ago-but the
same noble demeanor, the same polished
gentleman. He hopes with us for the
early re-establishment of real peace and
unity, and brighter days for the Repub-
lio.

THz Rior At NEW ORLEAxs.-A strcnu.
effort is being made to hold the so-callcd
rebels responsible for the late riot in New
Orleans. The fact is that the whole terri.
BILE affair is directly traceable TO the Radical
disorganizers. Their Rump Convention was
gotten up at the instigation Of the Rump
Congress, aud its whole purpose was trea-
sonable and disorganizing. Not only this,
but the conflict which resulted in such ter.
rible punishment 10 themselves and their de-
luded victims, was commenced by them
The New Orleans Pcayunc gives the origin
Of the riot thus:
1--WE are informed by a respectable gen.
tlcman, disintercsted and elevated specta
tor of il, indeed, by more than one, that the
affair on Monday began thus A procession
Of armed negroes was coming up Burgundy
street, preceded by "A band and flag fying.-
As il passed Canal street. n white boy made
some remark or cry at them. 4 negro from
the procession fired on him but missed. An
aid of the Chief of Police and an cx.police
man dashed in and secured the negro. There
was some disposition shown by the residue
melted by another on horseback, to rescue
him, but the police appeared in force and
checked the effort then. The procession o.
negroes, with their band, then proceeded to
ward the Hall, the people, as is usual, press
ing along beside them When theyawer,
about entering it, the same boy, apparently
or some other, again made some taunting re
mark, when the negroes turned and fired
with revolvers n number of shots not only a
him, but at the police who were trying t.
take him away. The firing then became
general, both at and by the police, when the
negroes, who did not leave ut the time, dis
appeared within the building, and the police
then undertook to clear the street and keeE
the space open in front of the building. i
was not until they were fired upon heavily
from the building that any effort was made
to enter it.

WHY SHE FAILED-Belle Boyd's dra-
matte failure in England is attributed to
the absence of her husband. She said
she "would like to see her husband five
minutes before she went on the stage, for
the purpose of dressing him down, and
giving her blood healthy circulation
Her loathing detestation of him she said
would fire her soul and keep it in blaze
through the performance"

PREPARING FOR THEM.-Late tele-
graphic dispatches are to the effect that
troops are being concentrated in and
around Washington. The true number Of
troops at the national capital, for some
months past, has not averaged over $500
or 5000. But it is stated that 80, 900 SOL
diers will soon be concentrated in and
around Washington. President johnson
is evidently preparing for any of the revo-
lutionary proceedings that may be attempt
ed to be inaugurated by the jacobinical
and radical element of Congress and the
country. We are much mistaken in him

deal summarily with them before they
