We have been severely commented
demonstrated with by certain friends
for our expose of thieves and thieving
We cannot helpthis. We propose do
ing our duty regardless of consequences
But we differ from our associates and
friends as to these consequences. We
believe that our success depends on IN
exposure of these frauds and an expul'
sion of the scamps. 1t has come to be
known abroad that much of the nation
al indebtedness, calling for heavy taxa
ton to pay, not the principle, but the
interest, ori ginated In dishonesty, and
went to enriching rogues instead of the
Government. Now, with the time upon
US that calls for the entire income oi
the farmer, mechanic, merchants and
professional man, to pay our national,
state and local taxation, the considera-
ton of this fact comes to be one of vital
Importance. And they, whose hard
earnings are being wrang from them,
will not tolerate any party that winks
at, covers up, or directly or indirectly
cOnceals these frauds. Nor will they
tolerate any organization that lacks the
courage to expose and the power to pun
ish this rascality.
And! yet partisan considerations are
precisely what give ilnpunlty to the
rogues. Committees are appointed by
Congress, and one ofthese nearly year
since traced fraud involving million
of dollars to the door OF an official so
high in office and the affections of the
people, that all would be startled and
panied were it made public. And the re.
port has never been published. And
why. Because it might affect the next
elected. We can assure our friends that
this policy will, in the end, prove fatal
to our organization. 20 elE .trtg
AS We have said before, the Union
party is held together by no ordinary
drill and discipline. 1t is made up OF
honest, intelligent citizens, actuated by
principles, who believe that they have
great cause in common, and the mo-
ment It is discovered that this organ
ization is being debased to corrupt
purposes, the party will fly to pieces and
disappear as rapidly as it was cretaed.
We are paying more than we can
afford to pay in the way of taxation, to
meet the interest on millions, and mil
lions of money stolen from the Treasu-
ry. Whiskey is whiskey with money in
it-cotton is cotton with money in it.
Indian management is Indian manage
ment with money in it. Palaces are
spotting the land, yvieing in cost and
splendor with the palaces of Europe
Islands and wide domains are being
purchased, and special trains run for
an aristocracy that grows fat, while the
people suffer. 1t is time for, the, Re
publican press to speak out and spare
not. We must hunt, hunt down and
punish, not only that our party ma
prosper, but that our Government may
live.

A shooting afirsy occurred in Mem
PMS, on Main street, Monday after
noon, between David N. Philip, city ed
tor eff the Bulletin, and Attorney Gen
VIM. Wallace. Some sharp threats had
been made by both sides, it seems
and when they met the affray was in
eVitable. One or two shots were fired
and y some harmless snaps did not fire
nobody hurt, but both parties were ar
rested and taken to the station house
hnen they refused to enter charges
against each other. A charge was ther
sSntered by the police officer against
vsneral Wallace for shooting within

J. VI. L,NGsToN, the negro lawyer
from Oberlin, Ohio, who has recently
been appointed Superintendent of the
Freedmen's Schools in Virginia seems
likely to disappoint certain Radicnl
parties who expected much from his eff
forts as political missionary. He de-
livered a speech at Gordonsville the
other day, in which he entirely ignored
politics, and addressed himself to the
task of impressing upon his colored
hearers the Importance Of educating
themselves and their children. If he
sdheres to that line of policy he will
soon be considered as confirmed a "black
copperhead" as NASH.

Few persons are aware of the value
and variety of dogs, varying as they
do in weight from l90 pounds to less
than one pound, and value to about
$500 to less than nothing. A description
of the different varieties may not be
Hninteresting:
The Siberian bloodhound. weighs
about 100 pounds, and measures AZ
inches in, girth, and is worth nearly
$500. a'-' 30
The st. Bernard dog, which is of a
bluff or light lead color, is very large
and valuable. ....s....-
The Newfoundland dog, when pure, il
entirely black, and its pups are worth
from $40 to $50.
The Shepherd dog, or Scotch cody, ID
wonderful for its patience, fidelity
and bravery. 1t is worth from $50 to
800 III lC-lJIb5A 7oitoA-lFt.-
The English mastiff, a good watch
dog, is worth from SIS toi$25.
or terriers, the black and tan is most
admired. 1t varies in weight from one
pound to twenty-five pounds, and in.
creases in value as it decreases in
weight. A member Of the bar in this
city has one which weighs less than one
pound, and is the smallest we have
ever seen. It could not be bought fol
$50. Terriers are often crossed with
the Italian greyhound, producing very
delicate, but extremely useless dog
The Scotch terrier is the hardest of dogs
is vesy courageous, and is worth from
$10to $50. .is5s 3izFb ('s-Fs' t'ffs'
The Scotch deerhound is the rarest
and most valuable of hunting dogs
They are rare, and are owned principal.
ly by. the nobility of England. They
are worth 500 each. ,'"
a The beagle is the smallest of the
hound kind, of superior scent and en-.
durance, and in short the best sort of a
rabbit hunter. -,....gy
English grey hounds, the feetest
of dogs, are worth from S25 to SlOC
each.
The Italian greyhound is merely a
parlor dog. The pure breed is rare and
valuable, fine one being worth $50.
There is great variety of pointers,
settlers and spaniels. The Prince
Charles variety is the most valuable OF
spaniels. He is supposed to have ori.
ginated in Japan, where similar breed
exists. He has q large, full eye, black
and tan color, and never weighs oveI
ten pounds. They have been sold at
auction in England, at 5000 eack.
The coach dog is from Denmark, and
Is not Of much value. - Sa H nN|

Vade,s ARrarinpism.

The infamous agrarian doctrine ad-
yanced by Ben. WADE, carried ont to
its natural consequences, would be q
strange thing indeed. The New York
Uorld developes the idea in q manner
which shows its absurdity. Those
who have most TO lose, says the writer,
must suffer most under the new reign
of WADE and the new law Of equality.
There is Mr.. AsToR. 1t is not impossible
that he may come to be as poor as his
father once was. His many houses may
shelter homeless men innumerable, and
there will be left him but his OVID dom
icile, into which who knows but the
despotic WADE will compel him to ad-
nit boarders ''to be treated in all re-
spects like members of the family"
There is Nj. Low with his
ships. A yacht apiece is the
watchword of WADE. Mr.. STEWART,
after the division of WADE and his
cohorts, would be left as disconsolate as
MARIUs among the ruins Of Carthage,
standing upon one of his own denuded
counters, no longer responsive to the
cry of cash." Mr.. JEROME's horses
cannot be divided up in the MUNcHAU-
sen style, so that the distribution may
20 around, but under the new regime
his racers can never occupy palatial
stables while any hummer lives to seek
shelter in dry goods box, nor enjoy q
solitary paddock until every negro has
voted to himself q farm. BARNUM's
.unrivalled collection" must be scat
tered to the four quarters of the Union,
for WADE could never keep the head of
his own troops were he to allow any
one citizen to own so many monkeys
as Mr.. BARNUM owns. The do
Nestle felicity Of the "happy family
must be ended, that every free and
eqa! citizen may have his mouse or his
rabbit. JAY Cook must slice up the
ten or fifteen millions which the Ma
nonal blessing has brought him. Mr..
oPDYKE will be required to divide the
profits of shoddy. Mr.. DUDLEY FIELD
must submit to the same operation. In
short, let the Radical programme be
carried out, and its own Cresuses would
ne the first to cry out against its ope-
ration. -.ts.

substautial Penalties.

Some men can respect no law unless
il has the most substantial penalties
appended to it. They can sec the reali-
IS of punishment, though they miss the
silent operation of the moral force of the
statute. Such men, however, always
insist that these penalties shall be paid
of on other people. In that case they
are very certain they can comprehend
the working of the law. In Maine, for
example, they voted the other day to
add to the existing penalty for violating
the liquor law, the other and harsher
one of Imprisonment. If that has no
rprceptible effect, they will very
likely try the virtue of hanging
next, thodgh it occurs to some
that it would be much more con-
Sistent i'll them to propose to choke
off the drinkers than the sell
lers. The vote for this intensified
amendment to the old law was light,
and on that ground it Is claimed by the
party to which its paternity belongs
that it can be none of their offspring.
But it is possible that they have at
length invented and touched off the
pstard which is to give them their sum-
mary hoist in due time. Imprisonment
for selling glass of liquor is stride
beyond anything which has hitherto
been reached in the morals of Radica
legislation. 1t is Of a piece with the
rule that presumes to censure the Presi-
dent of the United States for "miscon-
duct" but declines TO wound the delicate
sensitiveness of Reverend SERENo
HOWE by a resolution of expulsion.
Verify, verify what. progress" we are
making in all things under the regime
Of radicalism!

4 Horrible Remini.eepce Of the War.

Our citizens will remember that, in
the early part of the war, TIVE citizens
of our county, Gabriel Close and Black
Triplett, were arrested by asquad of
Col. Morgan's Illinois regiment, which
was stationed at Weston. They were
arrested at Mrs. KuykendalPs near
this city, charged with being bush
wbackers. Whether the charge was
true or false we know not. Securely
guarded and bound, the prisoners were
started to Weston. At Bee creek bridge
the squad halted and determined to
murder the two men. The fiends in
human shape who disgracea the uni
form trey wore, told their victims the
result Of their deliberations and pro-
ceeded to carry into execution their
hellish designs. The bound and help
less victims were told to run for their
lives. Triplett refused and was shot,
the muzzle of tho guns and pistols be-
ing so close that his hair, beard and
flesh, were horrible burned by the pow
der, until he was scarcely recognizable.
Close made an attempt to run, but
mired in the treacherous bed of the
creek, where the brutal soldiery delib-
erately fired charge after charge into
his body, after which they thrust their
bayonets through his head. Not con-
tent with this monstrous barbarism,
they then dabbled their hands in the
blood of the murdered men and
wrote in great, uncouth letters
on each. end Of the bridge, in
characters of blood the let
ters "'U. S." The horrible letters are
still there. Every traveller between
Weston aud Platte City will notice the
terrible, bloody letters staring at them
from either approach to the bridge.
Kind hands often attempted to obliter-
ate this awful sign ofblOod and murder,
but to-day it is as plain as when it was
first made thare by the brutal wretches.
Time and the elements refuse to destroy
the letters. 1.I -.. -. -. .-,.a f.
The memory of Morgan, the coHman-
der of the regiment, is faithfully pre-
served by the people of this county.
He burned this town and laid in ashes
our Courthouse. In the corner stone
of the new Court -hause just about fin
ished Is placed parchment recording
this fact. Wherever he goes Gods wrath
will follow him, and future genera
tions will speak the name of James G..
