joins the vigorous use of every means that
are vested in the Executive under the
plain terms of the organic and statute
laws. The union of the States is the life
of the nation. Let the law of the land
be welded to preserve that life. The foe
is a. dangerous one and must be vanquish-
ed. The disease is desperate and efficient
remedies must be resorted to. Hating
measures will not answer. A clean sweep
must be made. Pretended support OF the
President will not do. Works must show
the faith of these gntlemen. They can
not support johnson and Stevens, they
must love the one and hate the other
They must support the President policy,
they must speak favorably of it, they
must support those who support it and
oppose those who oppose it. Determined,
prompt and energetic action on the part
of the Executive, is vitality essential. He
can afford to be bold in sustaining the
right.

The Disinterested Patriot,

Every once in while the great Amer
lean Toady, John w. Forney, speaks of
the party which supports the President as
made of ''hirelings,' word which he
borrows from the vocabulary of his late
Southern masters. The public may like
to know how purely disinterested Forney
is, and has been, in support of the Repub-
lican party-how much selfsacrifce he
displays in the premises, in fact.
Firstly, then, there is John W. Forney,
the dead duck in loropria persona, Clerk of
the Senate, at $500 year and stealing.
Secondly. There is ID. c.. Forney, pub
Usher of the Chronicle, cousin of the dead
ducks, in pay of the Senate, drawing a
salary of about two thousand dollars a
year for work which he never performs
clear swindle.
Thirdly. There is another Forney, a
brother of the ducks, mail agent between
here and Philadelphia.
Fourthly. There is another brother mail
agent on the Pennsylvania Central Road.
Fifthly. There is junior Forney, who
all through the war was a staff officer, on
duty in Philadelphia.
Sixthly. There is another son of the
dead ducks who, early in the war, got a
commission in the navy, under a solemn
posed to the rude fire Of rebel guns-and
he never was.
Seventhly. Forney is carried about the
city of Washington in a vehicle owned by
the Government, drawn by horse own-
ed by the Government, and driven by a
man paid as laborer in the Capitol
grounds. All of which may be strictly
patriotic, but not legal.
Eighthly. Forney has for private SER
want man who is paid as a laborer for
the Senate, which is contrary to the law
in such cases made and provided.
Ninthly. Forney gets the Chronicle edit
ed by men who are paid as clerks Of the
Senate, which may be patriotism, but looks
like swindling.
Tenthly. Forney will employ nobody
as clerk or messenger, in the Senate, who
will not help to edit either the Chronicle or
the Press, which is good economy but bad
morals in the dead duck.
Eleventhly. Forney wrote begging
letter to the President about six months
ago The President did not grant the
prayer of the petitioner, and the Chronicle
Immediately came out against Andrew
Johnson and his policy. Which may be
disinterested, but doesn't look that way;
looks rather like an unsuccessful attempt
to
Crook the pregnant hinges Of the knee,
When thrift may follow FdUney.
What self sacrificing patriot he is, to
be sure i!

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR IN WEsTMoRELAND
Cove learn from the Greensburg
Democrat, that the dead body of citizen
of Cook township, Westmoreland county,
was found on Tuesday evening last, under
circumstances which lead to the belief that
a most foul murder had been committed.
The name of the man is John Shale.-
He left his house on the morning Of Tues
day, for the stated purpose of looking at
his fields, and not returning for dinner or
supper, this prolonged absence caused his
family such uneasiness that some of them
started in search of him. They discov-
cred his dead body, and upon examination
found bullet hole in his head, the ap-
parent cause of death. No weapon was
found near him, SO that the idea of suicide
is not entertained. Great excitement ex-
lists in. the neighborhood, and The affair is
shrouded in mystery. Mr.. Shale was a
well-to-do farmer, about forty five years
of age, and highly respected in the neigh
borhood where he resides.

ezr In Webster, Massachusetts, recent

or In Webster, MASSACHUSETTS, recent
ly, some young men placed two small
brown snakes in a kind of fancy paper
basket, filled the opening with flowers so
that the reptiles could not crawl out, and
hung the device upon the door knob of a
house where some young ladies were board
ing. The basket and contents CHANGED to
be found first by the most timid of the
young ladies, who, upon withdrawing the
flowers, and seeing the serpent crawl out
upon the table, was so much alarmed that
she fell in spasms, and is still in a very
weak and nervous condition.

Congress--Our Candidate.

In a contest where the issues are so I'M
portant, it behooves the Democratic party,
morethan at any other time, to act patriot
ically in making nominations. "Good
men and true is the first desideratum
men who can command the whole party
vote, is the second. This second, in a
District like ours, is of vital Importance
Let us hope therefore, that the party, in
its primary elections and county conven-
tions will act wisely in this matter, and,
that candidate may be nominated who
will be acceptable alike in all parts of the
District If this shall be done, then our
triumph, we believe, will be certain.
The above from the Lewistown True
Daa1ocrat is well timed and meets our full
est appreciation. We cannot afford to run
a weak candidate; and the same prudence
which, two years ago, gave US a candi-
date who ran ahead of his ticket-eyen
ahead of the gallant McCllelan-should
actuate the coming Conference. Then :,
our candidate had 27O majority on the
home vote, and was legally elected; al
though he had to contend against enroll
ing officers, military arrests, and general
terrorism. No,O, he can be reelected if
nominated; and whether he be or not we
believe any good Democrat, possessing the
confidence of the Democratic masses can
be elected. Such man every ''tr7te Dem
0clut" could endorse and his election
would be rendered certain.

THE cholera still continues at the New
York quarantine. Five deaths occurred
on the 9th, and eighty-seven cases remain
under treatment The cases from the Pc
ruvian are more fatal than those from
other vessels. Sequin's Point has been
taken possession of by the New York
Board of Health as a sanitary station,
and accommodations will be provided for
ten thousand persons. This will enable
the physicians TO seperate the sick from
the healthy passengers, and thus prevent
rapid spread of the pestilence. During
the present week it is expected that all
the cholera patients will be removed from
the hospital ships TO shore buildings No
new cases have occurred in the city of
New York, and the partial panic, occa-
stoned by the first appearance of the NAL
ady, has subsided. The advent of hot
weather in this city should impart addi-
tional industry to our health officials in
order that we may be prepared for any
contingency. -PhiladeIl,hn Age.
