LET HIM ExPIAIN.-Instead oi
backing up their fallen hero Stanton
AS they promised to do-the Radicals
have already abandoned him to bis
tate. The New York Tribune has
even the unkindness to make tho fol.
lowing statement and suggestion:
"Brig. Gen. Chas. P. Stone in 1862
was arrested at midnight, placed in
Fort Lafayette, removed from his
command, charged with reasonable
practices, kept without a trial, mus.
tered ont Of his rank in the middle OF
the war, after a brilliant service in
Louisiana, and in fact, driven from
the army in disgrace. This is one OF
the mysteries Of Mr.. Lincoln's admin.
istration, and as Mr.. Stanton gave
the order for General Stones arrest,
now that ho is out of office no may
probably give the reason"
Not he. The "mystcry" of that
disgracefdl and despotic act will die
with him unless forced out by that
Infamous invention of his-a military
commission.

Ex SENATOR MDoUGALL.-James
A. McDougall, an ex-senator of the
United States, iron the State Of Cali
fornia, died at Alhny, New York, on
the Sd instant. This gentleman was
born in Bethlehem, Albany county.
New York, in 1871, and received his
education in the Albany Grammar
School. On the expiration OF his
school term he studied law, and being
admitted TO practio removed TO Pike
county, Illinois, If which State he
was chosen Attorney General in 1912,
and rechosen to he same Office in
1874. In 1S49 Mr. McDougall origin.
ated and accompanied an exploring
expedition TO Rio eel Norte, the Gila
and Colorado. From thence he ex.
tended his visit TO California, where
he fixed his permanent residence. In
1850 he was elected Attorney General
of the State of California, and also
served in Congress, from that State
from 1858 to 1854 Declining re
nomination, he remained in private
life until 1861, whei he was elected q
Senator of the United States and
served n full term iLthat body. The
ex-senator was also delegate to the
Chicago Convention in 1s64. which
nominated General Mcclellan for the
Presidency. Mr.. NcDougall was I
man of extensive r,ading and infor
nation, and an orttor Of point anC
brilliancy.

A AMIsNoMER.-TheAs Associated Press
dispatch announcing the Democratic
victory in California, says "The en-.
tire Union State ticket is defeated,
and II is doubtful il one Union man is
elected" This is a gross abuse Of
language, of truth, and of the papers
TO which the Associated Press agency
furnishes telegraphic news. The par.
ty that was defeated in California, 80
far from being the Union party, is,
and has been, since the surrender OF
Lees forces, the dis-union party, and
TO name it otherwise is as false as to
call mule horse or traitor n 10y
alist.

BOXING THE CoNPAss.-The Black
Republicans are inconsolable over their
defeat in California. Their organs
and leaders, while adjusting and ex.
planning the causes that lead to their
defeat, assign as the prime one that
the party managers nominated a vile
and corrupt man for Governor, at
which the "honest" and religious por.
tion Of the party took offence, and at
once went 10 work and nominated an
honest man for the position; hence
the defeat. But the election returns
reveal the joke played off on eastern
loyaldom. The honest candidate re.
ceiued no vOtes. What became of "the
honest masses Of the party controlled
by "grand moral ideas" on the day Of
the election, deponents say not.

er Holsinger, who is running the
Herald on a "neutral' line, is also
after an impossibility. But as he il
backed by his religious Companion,
he may weather the storm and come
out at the big end of the horn. Good

request We have to make at this time.

Montana, the election of Cavanaghi

Democratic. The Democrats have
eleven of the thirteen members of the

NIGGER GENERALs.-Andrew John.
son, after all, does some good things,
and among them is his habit of send
ing the miserable military tools Of the
Mongrels TO fight the Indians at the
West He thus disposed Of Miles and
Terry, and now sends that wretched
parody on Eurst "the great cavalry
leader" Sheridan, and, we trust, in a
few days, 10 hear that Sickles and
Pope have followed in the steps Of
their ''illustrious predecessor" There
is peculiar fitness in sending these
Digger generals 10 fight the Indians,
and the only drawback that we can
think Of is, the danger Of their getting
badly beaten, and thus increasing the
expenses Of the war. The Indian is
80 much the nobler animal, that in
anything like equal numbers he is sure
to lick the nigger badly; but as there
will always be some white generals al
hand-Sherman, Custer and others
they will, no doubt, save Sheridan
Terry, Miles, and the Niger crowd
from destruction.-Ddy Book.

This is the yell that the elections
in California, Montana and Maine has
wrsnched from the Black Republican
leaders. The election in the former
State was the most exciting ever held.
The New York Tribune and other
lesser organs of the "Blockhead' per-
suasion, seem TO understand that "an
honest confession is good for the soul. +"
In speaking of the character Of thei-
candidate in California, the friend of
Jefferson Davis says: "The result OF
the California election has taught
" the Union party both in New York
and throughout the country whole
some lesson. II has taught us that
I'VE can never afford either to indulge
" in family quarTels or to nominate
"ony other than unexceptionable
"men. Party chicanery was allowed
I" in California TO effect a division in
our ranks, and the enemy rushed in
"st The breach and beat US. More
over, Of the two Republican candi-
dates for Governor neither had any
"real strength. The personal record
"of one was not clear; the other
had no record at all. The Demo
cratic candidate, on the other hand,
" was gentleman of the highest per-
sonal character. No wonder we
were beaten. Now let us take this
lesson TO heart, and make no more
" wicked blunders." That the char.
scter Of their candidate was bad we
all know, because they have not, for
many years, presented the people
with any other kind, (hence the crimes
and prodigality throughout the coun-
try while the Democratic candidates
are usually gentlemen Of the highest
personal character" The people have
been blind for seven years, but they
have in the mean time had so many
eyeopeners that they are now begin
ming TO see who has been robbing
them. The Republicans are awake,
but they are not Of the Thad. Stevens
negro horde who have fessted and
inttened upon the country at the ex.
pense Of its liberties.

NJ. p. BoYER, Eso.-We notice by
our eastern exchanges the sudden de-
misc of our esteemed friend, in the
36th year Of his age. Mr.. Boyer was
a prominent member Of tho Reading
bar, and an active politician. But in
the prime of life and in the midst Of
usefulness he has been called hence.
The members of the bar held a meet
ing in reference TO the death Of their
fellow member and passed the usual
resolutions of coincidence. Mr. Boyer
was a brother of DIR. Boyer, of Lu.
thersburg. The Reading Gazette, in
alluding TO his death, says:
1--WE are sorry to announce the de-
cease Of our friend Michael P. Boyer,
Esq, after a few days illness, at his
residence, in this city, on Thursday
morning. He was well-known mem.
Der Of the Bar, and represented Berks
county in the Legislature during the
session of 1861. He served with gal.
lantry in the late war, as lst Lieuten.
ant Of Co. Ii, Capt. John Kennedy
12sth p. V. He was one Of the kind
est-hearted Of men and most devoted
and affectionate of husbands. Hit
death will be deeply regretted by .
large circle Of friends and acquaint-
ances. At the time of his decease, he
held the Office Of Commissioner fol
the U. S. Court of Claims, to which
he was appointed few months ago

Look at the Other Side.

W men secession came, Democrats
sustained the Government, shed their
blood, invested their money in 5.20's,
1905, and l0-40's, sent their m emb bors
to Congress, and obeyed the laws
that Congress Of twenty-throe States
enacted. That was their Government
and they loved it, they defended it,
and many Of them died for il.
During the war, eleven States we're
not represented in Congress, and they
refused 10 be. That was lawful Con.
gress, all obeyed it and all of its laws
are binding under the Constitution.
When the war was over the South
submitted, then the Radicals kept them
out to give the negro power. They
"dcted outside Of the Constitution" as
Thaddeus Stevens says.
If IL be true, that the Democrats
are trying TO destroy this Government
how strange tits that they should
hold its bonds and notes, and fight
and die for il. Their object is to pre-.
serve it, to bring it within the Con.
sitution, TO govern according 10 law.
to economize its resources, and 10 pdv
It's debts.
Are your Bonds and greenbacks
safer inside of the Constitution or
outside Of itl If we have no Constifu.
tion. as Stevens says, what security
have you for your debtl The Consti.
tuition is the title decd to the property
that your debt is a lien upon.

He did not decide the question Of tho
power Of Congress.
You hold a 500 or q 10-40 bond,

Government agreed to pay you in
gold. The Radicals and their Judges
say the Government may pay you in

a contract to pay in gold should be
enforced, which bost suits youl Which
