need not ask that question. The DEM
ocratic party now, as during the war, are
on the record, are committed on the side
of the wrong, against the right. II pre-
fers that the beaten Rebels should rule
in the South for the reason, that they
have and will vote the Democratic tick
ct. Hence, the Democratic party is no1
the same as before,-the party of objec-
ton, obstruction aud reaction; while the
Republican party is the one of progress
and humanity. This is the difference
between the two parties. They opposed
soldiers voting. and they now oppose
nearly the whole loyal element OF the
South in voting, while zoe favor the loyal
element. and commend the action OF Con.
gress in the passage of the Reconstruc-
tion laws. We commend them as just
and wise, and as necessary to complete
the great work of properly restoring
those States. A country recently bathed
in blood, and ye: mourning, demands
that those States should be brought back
by the Union men, and not come back
with Rebel colors flying. This is the
issue, and the Country will sooh again
judge VINO is right, and give the victory
to the right.

MAJ. ANDERSON, Dear Sir What
has come over the young folks of Butler
Of late Cupid must have been very busy
of late. Much happiness to about forty
of them. more or less.
Winter is now approaching we have
had little snow The first was on the
Sd of this month some days after the hills
Of old Butler were whitened. On last
Tuesday morning when we wakened up,
we saw snow on the ground enough to
make show. Today we had few
fakes. So far we have had about an
eigth Of an inch this fall. 1t is still
pleasant enough to work out oe doors
without coat. Last week it was so
warm that we kept the doors open near,
ly all the day. We have bah quite
time with fires in the woods of late.
Last Saturday one started about mile
from here and ran over 4 considerable
extent OF country, and to-day, it broke
out again but has not done much dam
age. There are SO many leaves in tho
woods that the fire has Il sood chance.
The wood burns here very easily and
fires keep in for a long time set fire
to an Elm tree about five feet in diame>
ter on the Sth of July, and a week ago,
one hundred and twenty three days after
being kindled, it was still burning.
What have the Republicans in Penna.
been doing that the election passed off
in the manner it did There is very lit
tie stir, here on the subject of politics.
All one sided or at least about Twenty
Republicans to one opposition
Real Estate is advancing rapidly. Lands
near Crystal Lake are now worth near
~ twice as much as they were a year ago. |
Although in the country corresponding
rise is going on, The Government Lands |
are about exhausted and there is nothing !

to keep the prices down. Iuves tments
in land are safe and profitable, far more
so than ventures in OIL. 4 large amount
of land is held by Spectators. Too much
for the good of the country. But these
lands will soon be seeking market aud
settlers will flow in. Mechanics are much
needed. We especially need good
Blacksmith here. Can't you send as one2.
There is good opening. We want no
one who is not prepared to meet and
overcome all sorts of obstacles. All'per-
sons coming to new country must have
energy or starve. There is work for all,
and each one must be prepared to fit into
his appropriate niche and do his own
work.

About Issues.

We are aware that our good naturcd
neighbor of the Democratic HeraH,-
"Uncle Jake, us much given to joking
and that much he says and writes now.
a-days, is considered, Gin the way of a
joke" Especially is this the case when
our jolly friend ventures to discourse Of
principles, then, all consider it "good
joke" and that they have right to
laugh.
But still, we must correct the Heruld
relative to the proceedings of the last
meeting of our Republican County Cons
mitteo. Speaking of it the editor says ::
1--WE have understood that a series Of
resolutions in favor of negro suffrage aud
certain side issues were offered and vo-
ted down" Who the HeraM "under>
stood this from, we are not informed !;
but we are informed that it is quite
mistake, and that no such resolutions in
favor of 'side issues" were offered in
the committee, and conseq uently none
such were voted down On the con-
trary, all Of the committee agreed, that
in view of the one great work now be-
fore the Country, that of properly re.
storing to the Union the late Rebel States,
all side issues should be dispensed with,
and considered Of minor Importance
This was the position taken in the reso>
lutions alluded to by the Herald so far
as side issues are concerned, and moth,
ing on that subject, OR any other, was
voted down in the committee.
But in regard to "negro suffrage" in
the late Rebel States, how of this The
resolution passed by the committee cou>
tanned and combined in brief form, the
sentiments of the committee on that sub
ject, cordially endorsing the action Of
Congress- The Herald quotes the resa>
luton, and Notwithstanding it had sun
dcrstood" that negro suffrage was voted
down, yet it says This is negro suff,
rage in disguise" There is no disguise
about it. So far as suffrage in the late
Rebel States is concerned, the Republi.
can party have been, are now, and will
continue to be in favor of the suffrage of
all the l2yal people as against the disloy>
al !; of all the patriotic, white and black
who stood up and fought for the Uuion,
as against those who seeded, fought
against aud tried to destroy it. 1t Is
now, as heretofore, question, not of
negro suffrage, bus of Rebel suffrage,
and Congress has taken the right ground
and viii continue in it, and the loyal
people, both North and South will con-
tlnue to stand by it. 1t is the ground of
Justice, of Patriotism, and of God $
own right 1t is the cause of humanity
and liberty, aud Congress and the great
Republican party will stand firm until
all the just results of the late rebellion
are made secure to the Nation. If we
cannot have indemnity for the past, for
the thousands of noble lives lost, let us
at least have security for the future
Is there any other way to secure this
than by placing all necessary means in
the hands of the true and faithful in the
South to protect themselves, and to en-
able them to bring back these States with
free forms of government? The simple
question is, who shall govern in whip.
ped Rebellion !? Those who are with US,
or those who are against us ? On which
side is the Democratic Herald? But we

MAN hlLLED.-Oa ueSday nl6nt, the
26h ult., the sad intelligence reached our
peaceful town that a man had been shot
at the Res .aurant and residence of Mr..
Weaver, in Summit township, The cir
cumstances as nearly as we have been
able to gather the same, are as follows ::
On the day allued to, daughter of Mr..
Weaver was married, and shortly after
nightIall, when the wedding guests were
enjoying themselves, as is customary upon
such occasions, they were startled by the
almost unearthly noise of serenading
party, and the discharge of fre,arms, in
close proximity to the house. A son Of
Mr. Weaver named John, went out to
ascertain, if possible, who composed the
party. The supposition was, that the
crowd was composed of some rough chars
acters from an adjoining township, as tin.
horn, car bell serenaders are generally of
that character The night being ex>
tremely dark, it was difficult to ascertain
who the PARTIES were But young Wca-
yer satisfied himself that the party was
made up of young meu living in the i'm
mediate vicinity lie was returning into
the house to report and have the party
invited into the house, when he was met
by his brother, Wise Weaver, who was
coming out With like objects in view, and
at the moment the latter came round the
corner Of the house, gun was discharg-
ed, the shot taking effect in the left
breast Of young Weaver, causing wound
about one and one fourth inches in diam.
eter, Just below the left collar bone, frac>
turing the fist and second ribs, and cuts
ting the Pulmonary artery, also, tearing
the left lung partially; from the effects
of which he died in twenty minutes, and
before medical aid could be procured.
On the following day an inquest was
held and a post mortem examination
made, eliciting substantially the above
facts. Andrew Kneusc is said to be the
individual who fred the fatal shot, who
was present at the inquest and acknowl-
edged the same.
1t appears from the evidence of the in
quest that the shooting of Weaver was
entirely unintentional and accidental
This sad circumstance is fearful warn.
ing against tha practice of sercnading as
the same is now conducted. This case
should be fully and thoroughly investi'
gated, and the parties properly punished
for the violation of law in this respect
1t should not be suffered to pass off un>
noticed, and it is to be hoped, for the
credit of our community and the protec>
ton and security Of individuals, that
justice will be meted out to all who are in
the habit of disturbing the peace, and in
any way endangering the lives of the peo-
pie. Sercnading, as practiced at the pres
ent day, should be discountenauced by
every friend of GOOD order To say tn Q
least, it is degrading and debasing in all its
tendencies, and should be stopped every
where, and more especially in civilized ,en,
lightened and christian community. win
our people and the proper authorities suf-
fer this state of affairs to continue, aud
the offenders so uupunished !? We hope
not.
