An EDITOR IN HEAvEN.-Under the
above caption an exchange gives long
obituary notice of deceased brother edi-
tor, from which we have room only to ex-
tract the closing paragraph:
''Should we not then rejoice that our
late friend of the scissors and quill is in
heaven? In that paradise the cry of
more copy will never again fall upon his
distracted ears. There his enioyments
will no more be interrupted by the growls
of the unreasonable subscriber, or the
duns of the paper-maker. There he will
enjoy entire freedom from the detractions
and misrepresentation of political oppo-
nents, and the caresses of ambitious po-
litical aspirants. 10 that blest abode he
is no more to be troubled with illegible
manuscript or abominable poetry. No
rival editors will there steal his thunder,
or his items, and typographical errors shall
know him no more forever"

THE HEAD-CENTRE.- Republican
paper in Massachusetts, at least, speaks
of Thad Stevens as he deserves to be
spoken of. The Springfield Republican
says of the Buckshot hero's new measure:
1.-The gist of the whole thing is that Mr..
Stevens proposes to put the Southern
States into the hands of the freedmen, TO
be governed by them for five years, and
after that time the white men are to be
allowed to be naturalizcd and become citi-
zens. And this maniac is allowed to die
tate policy to Congress and the nation !
1t is impossible the phrenzy should run
much longer. 1t has eliminated at last"
GREAT frauds in the sale of confscated
property are reported to have taken place
in Florida. In some instances, property
valued at S3, 900 has been sold for TWEEN

and much i'll feeling has been engendered
against the Northern purchasers. The
latter, as an offset are urging the negroes

of money about him: and he went to the
chamber of the deceased with the same
dreadful intentions. as the servant. He
was struck with amazement on beholding
himself anticipated in the crime. He
could not believe his senses and in turn
ing back the bedclothes to assure himself
vef the fact, he in his agitation dropped
his knife in the bleeding body by which
means both his hands and the weapon be-
came bloody These circumstances Brad
ford acknowledged to the clergyman who
attended him after sentence, but who, it
is extremely probable, would not believe
them at the time.
Besides the graver lesson to be drawn
from this extraordinary case, in which we
behold the simple intention of crime so
signally, and wonderfully punished, these
events furnish striking warning against
the careless, and it may be, vain display
of money or other property in strange pla-
ces. To keedlessneSs on this score the un-
fortunate Mr.. Hayes fell a victim. The
temptation, we have seen proved too strong
for two persons out of the few who heard
his lll-timed disclosure.

One Struggle More.

Nqed the Conservatives of this county
be told that in the approaching contes. the
party that is best organized and carries its
voters most universally to the polls, will
carry the election. Need they be told that
perfect organization-minute, detailed
neighborhood organization is the thing
highly essential to our success. One vote,
aye, one single vote, may decide con-
test on which, perhaps, hangs the destinies
# the nation.
You may rest assured that not single
vote will remain inactive upon the opposi
tion side. The Radicals are making the
most desperate efforts. and DeitLer time or
money is spared in the contest, for they
know, if they do not succeed this time,
that their hairs will be silvercd over with
age before they again stand a chance of
getting into power in this State. Then
let every energy be concentrat d upon this
ono point of GETTING OUT THE
VOTE. Argument and discussion are
about exhausted, for the campaign has
nearly closed. Men have made up their
minds and can no longer be influenced by
| ,lebate. Then. instead of wasting time
and energy upon .your opponents now,
SEE TO YOUR OWN PARTY.
Personal c6or is now needed. See your
neighbor and talk to him-stimulate him
to activity in the good cause, as if you
~erc a candidate yourscy. If he is poor
and unable to GO lend him your horse. II
he is weak and aged send for him suita-
BILE conveyance. Is this asking too much
for the good cause? Assuredly not. God
helps them that help themselves" and if
you will not help yourself by helping your
ueighbor, you can not expect to see your
principles triumph. Remember then the
immense importance of ONE VOTE in this
contest-remember then the dearly cher
ished principles for which you contend and
the ruinous policy against which you are
battling-rennmber that
Each man must do Lis own voting
IF he wants his country free"
IF you will but remember these things
and act well your part as faithful aud a
true American citizen CERTAIN AND
\ DECISIVE TRIUMPH awaits your
cause. ..

Frank Thomas ECounselIng violence

Frank Thomas Counseliag violence
EF- Frank Thomas in his speeches
everywhere in this county is advising his
friends TO "nrtnca to tie pills IN solitl
p.alaa-z and no, alloD asing1s c7perAeael
to pote." There is no mistaking the mean
ing of this language. aud our friends
mast be on the alert and prcpire for any
aal eoery emergency. We do not COUNSEL
resort to violence, as does Dir. Thomas,
but every man must make the effort to
vote, aud if in ding SO, violence is used to
prevent theIexercise of his right, the law
of God aud msn give him the right Of
self defence. Ifopp'sitinn merely comes
from the Ju lges of Election-if they re-
fuse you your rights-submit to it peacea-
bly. anil quietly. You have legal, pea
ceable remedy. and you will speedily have
an opportunity to test it before court and
Jury not specially selected because of
their bitt>r partisan feelings
Rest assured that every vote rejected
by the Judges of felection will be counted
by the Legislature, aad any egort to keep
yol from the ballot b,x will bs ch argc1 to
the account of the Radical can lilates who
may thereby be rctarnel. It will in the
end profit them nothing. Bat you are ex-
pecteI to at least make the effort to exer-
else. your rights at least offer your
vote au not rely on having the justice
done for you that you have not the cour-
aga to do for yourself.
N,twi:hstan ling the appeals Of Frank
Thomas to the passions of the people :
Notwithstanding his efforts to arouse a
spirit of violeace AMI moblaw-notwith-
stanlng his thirst for BLOOD and
MURDER, we have an abiding confidence
i'll the superior gool sense and discretion
Of the misses. AMI believe that psacs.
quiet an gpol order will prevail
To our frien Is We w,ull say keep calm
AMI self p p,ssesssl. bit nevertheless deter
mined to enjoy your rights. Let no slight
provoeation-yea, no provocation short Of
actual violence, induce you to resent it.
That done, resent it in way so certain and
sure as never to be forgotten and as may
serve as lesson in all time to come. Make
nc threats, they are lille AMI silly-give
no oTenoc by worl or deeI-that you
woull regret hereafter. In short let every
man dencan himself as good citizen,
and in viotory or defeat he will have oc-
casi0n TO rejoice.

HIs it strange that taxes should be
heavy? We think not. when we reflect that
the Radical Congress lavishcd money with
free hand upon themselves, their faror-
ties and upon every conceivable scheme in
which the negro was interested. Had
these vast and constant expenditures hcen
made with an eye to the benefit oflhe
masses-with view to advance the inter-
ests of the white race, other than Office
holders, ssme apology might be offered
But this is not the case. Will the people
keep in power the party who have and
continue to do these things? If they Do
they should forever keep silenton the scor.
of heavy taxes.

Mere radical Attempts to Murder.

fB-0n Satugday last whilst the work
of murder was progressing at Hagcrstown.
similar work was going on at Westmin-
ster, Carroll county. showing similarity
os purpose and intention to pervade that
party through the State. There, as here,
we presume the matter will be hushe up
and passed by without the guilty party
ever being brought to justice.
On that day there was very large mass
meeting of the Conservative voters of Car
roll county. held at Westminster
Addresses were delivered by Colonel
Maulsby, Gen. Helm. Gov. Parsons and
others. There was quite serious affair
in the afternoon growing out of the shoot
ing. and We believe slightly wounding, of
four persons by man named Henry Bell
This Bell was the ringleader of the par
ty of FIVE miserable wretches who brutally
murdered in his bed Joseph Shaw, editor
of the Carroll Democrat, because after his
Office was destroyed. he would not leave
the place. The trial attendant upon this
affair is still too fresh in the minds Of our
readers to be recalled now. All can re-
member how, with corrupt partisan Judge
a low drunken District Attorney, whose
very presence is q disgrace to that commu-
nifty, and suborned Jury. those FIVE mis-
creants were allowed to go free, amid the
plaudits of an admiring crew.
Judge Lynch came near holding cour,
last Saturday however; when the news Of
the shooting spread an excited crowd rush
ed to the Jail where the Sheriff had locked
Bell up for protection, and dem loi en-
trance. which being refused they forced
open the door. The Sheriff here inter.
fered. and by expostulstion good counsel
prevailed, and the masses dispersed. AL.
though this murderer is allowed to 90 still
little longer unpunished for his crimes, il
is matter of songra tulation to know that
the people of Carroll county show a de.
termination to put down the Williams who
for so long time have disgraced her fair
name. One year ago such men as Bell
could order the best citizens of that county
from their homes, and the order was al
ways attended with threat that none dar,
disobey. The days of the Vigilance Com
mittec are over we are pretty sure.
