Radical Misrula.

Among the many ways in which Radi-
cal misrule prevents the Democratic
party from obtaining power in this
Commonwealth, that of gerrymander.
ing" the State for Senatorial and legis.
lative purposes, stands pre- eminent. By
this process the people are defrauded of
their rights, and the minority prevented
from having a vote in the affairs of the
State. The returns from the city, when
examined carefully, furnish evidence of
most significant and startling char
acter with reference to this subject.
The aggregate Democratic vote
for Representatives in this city iG
81, ,l22 AS the Democrats only elected
several members to the House, it will be
seen that it takes 1917 votes to obtain a
Democratic Representative at Harris
burg. The Radicals polled 49,578 votes
on their representative tickets. Upon
this poll they obtain eleven members,
thus showing that 1903 votes are sufh-
cient to send a representative to the
State capital. These figures demonstrate
the fact that it takes 2S09 more votes to
elect Democratic member to the State
Legislature than it does to elevate
person belonging to the Radical party
to some position. If the city was
honestly and fairly districted, the
Democrats would have elected a
majority of the members of the
Legislature. This will not be denied
when the figures are examined. The
Radicals hold power by force, fraud, and
trickery, and the people are beginning to
understand that fact and act upon it.
With fair chance in this State, the
Democrats would carry the Senate and
the House of Representatives by large
majority. AS it is, the stream of public
condemnation is mounting to a hight
from which it will soon overleap the in
famous Radical districting of the State,
and place in the halls of State legislation
ma ajority of men in favor of the Union,
the Constitution, and the rights OF white
men.-Age.

The Last of Wade.

To gain Democratic United States
Senator in Ohio, in place of Radical,
is an achievement which would be glo-
rious under any circumstances but 1t IS
doubly so when the Senator superseded
is so offensive and obnoxious man as
Benjamin Wade For nearly eighteen
years he has bestrode the State, like the
" old man Of the sea, and has defied all
efforts to force him of. He thought he
had life lease in the Office. He abused
the Democratic people of Ohio in the
foulest language that the great range of
his blsckguardism could devise, he
called them "Copperheads, " Traitors
and Thieves" There was no end to
his arrogance-no limit to his audacity.
He was unfit, in every respect, for the
position, being destitute Of the least
qualification Senator should possess.
He is uneducated, coarse and brutal In
temper be is abitrary and almost uR-
bearable. BE is rough and vulgar in his
thoughts, and indecent in their express
sion. His psrtisauship was carried to
the most extraordinary length, and to
obtain success, be was willing to bring
any amount Of ruin upon the country.
Such is the man whom the Democracy
and Conservative men Of Ohio have ex
PEELED from the United States Senate,
and whose place they intend TO fill with

Story of an English Rector, with Tur-
pentine Moral.

Rev. Mr.. Harley, rector of Turweston,
in Buckinghamshire (he was appointed
to the living. l see, in 1862, by the Dean
and Chapter of Westminster), was
brought before the Buckingham Petty
Sessions, at the instance of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. The charge against him land he
did not attempt to deny any of the facts
alleged) twas, briefly, that, on the previous
Sunday, after evening service (mark
that y, on arriving at the rectory door,
he found small dog that had often an
moved him, and, calling his servant, babe
him catch the animal and tie his head
and forefeet in bag. This being done,
Rev. Mr. Harley obtained from the house
bottle of turpentine, and proceeded to
anoint the hinder parts Of the dog with
this pungent ointment, after which it was
set at liberty, and you can Imagine the
condition of that quiet neighborhood,
during the stiffness of Sabbath even
ing, as the tortured beast ran bowling
home. Rev. Mr.. Harley made no excuse,
except that the dog was a nuisance, and
he took that course to rid himself of it.
These are the simple facts, and, as the
case has ELECTED columns of the bitter
est editorials from every paper in the
kingdom, | give you the exact words OF
the decision of the magistrate:
1--WE have" they said, " given this case
our best attention, and the law in rela-
ton to it, and we have come to the CON
clusion that the law has not been trans
gressed by the act which the defendant
undoubtedly aud confessedly did per-
form. We therefore dismiss the COM
plant, and have much pleasure in in
forming Mr.. Harley that be leaves this
court without a stain upon his reputa-
ton as a Christian minister and humane
man"
$50, then" comments one Of the
London journals, it is Christian, gen.
tie and merciful, especially with the
SAVIOR of evening prayer upon the lips,
to administer a burning turpentine
enema to q stray dog, by way OF warn
ing him of the premises.
/ cannot forbear quoting another COM
ment on the affair, which comes in the
shape of letter from one Of the rever-
end gentleman's own parishioners, who
says:
"The reverend gentleman calls at my
house oftener than is agreeable to me,
and hitherto, out Of good manners, l
have disguised the dissatisfaction which
his visits cause me; but shall /, after the
late decision Of the Buckingham bench,
be justified in serving him as he served

The sbermau and JOhnstOn treaty.

Every one can understand that il Gen.
Sherman's treaty with General Johnston
had been approved by the administra-
ton, or by General Grant, all the States
would have been in the Union in June,
1865, the country would have been
placed on the road to prosperity, negro
Suffrage and negro equality would have
been kept in the background, and all
the troubles we have since had upon
the question of reconstruction would
have been avoided That document
recognized as much of State rights
as the Northern people are willing to
concede, and may yet be the platform
Of Presidential party. We believe
that Sherman could be elected President
with that and nothing else for his plat
form. Ex- President Buchanan recently
had conversation with a newspaper
correspondent, who says:
He Mr.. Buchanan thinks that the
terms that were agreed on by Generals
Joe Johnston and Sherman at the time
of the surrender we're the wisest that
could have been followed" "
Slowly the public mind will come to
the same conclusion.

Yellow Fever.

A letter from a Louisvillian, now a
resident of New Orleans, mentions the
success of DR.. Goldman in the treatment
of yellow fever, which is a matter of gen.
eral interest.
DR.. Warren Stone, of New Orleans,
expressed himself as follows in a
lecture at Bellvue hospital New York, a
few weeks since.
The best treatment, in his opinion,
was that which caused the least annoy
ance to the patient, and allowed him to
remain as quiet and composed as posi-
BILE, care being taken to properly nourish
him with articles of diet easily assimi-
lated, such as beef tea and stimulants.
Many physicians erred in carrying good
remedies too far. 1t was undoubtedly
well TO encourage moderate perspiration
and keep the patient warm, but it is un'
necessary and injurious to bring on an
excessive sweating, and the same thing
applied in many other respects.
The letter above mentioned, dated
October 10th, says:
"a. has just recovered from the yell
low fever, and Charlie is aow sick with it.
de is IN no danger, 1or ne Is III tne nanus
of Dr. Goldman, who does not lose yellow
fever patients,
He the Doctor, attributes the failure
of other physicians in this disease to the
use of quirine. His treatment is very
sitnple-frst mild purgatiye of citrate
of magnesia, with less acid than the dis
pensary calls for-the body to be rubbed
with lemon and cayenne pepper, and to
be constantly covered with an abundant
amount of clothing.
After the fever is gone, quinine, or
some other tonic, may be given to pre-
vent q relapse.

THE Louisville Journal asserts and
vouches for the truth of the story, that
in Texas recently, colored jury, after
being particularly charged by the judge
to find verdict, returned to the court
room and the foreman thus delivered
himself to his Honor: "See here, Mr..
Court, we's been down to dat are room,

tempted to explain to them what
verdict was, and directed them to return
and consderit After they had been out
about half an hour they again made their
appearance before the court, and the
foreman thus inquired of his Honor:
"Look er here, Mr. Court, didn't you
point me foreman of this jury ?" "Yes,

ster, who has rushed forward from one
position to another, without party to
back him. Holding balance Of power
in the shape Of small faction, he has
had the cunning and audacity to compel
one or the other of the great parties to
adopt him as their candidate.
Through such means he was made
United States Senator, Governor Of Ohio
and Secretary of the Treasury. Lincoln
was compelled by the same faction TO
appoint him tc the place he now holds
place he is utterly unfit for, and un-
worthy of holding. Neither native nor
acquired talents ever fitted him to hold
such a position. In Hamilton county
he was never regarded, either by the old
Wing or Democratic parties, fitted even
for county court judge. The Democ
racy of Ohio send greeting to the nation
that they have buried the hopes and as.
pirations Of this demagogue forever.
Years ago, the statesmen of the coun.
try-such men as Clay, jackson and
Webster-predicted the coming of such
demagogues as Chase, Wade and Sum
ner who, by their teachings, would dis.
rupt the Union, bring on civil war, and
deluge the land in blood. There is not
an orphan nor widow in 0hio-no, nor
weeping sister or mother, who cannot
trace the story of their grief to this
heartless and ambitious demagogue.
