Getting Alarmed.

The llew York Ercning Post sees danger
in the distance, and utters "a word OF
warning to the Radical leaders. AS ba-
sis for the warning, the Pas says:
In Louisiana and some other States
they are forming negro Democratic clubs,
and organizing the blacks in the country
districts under the Seymour and Blair BAN
ner. The whole Red river country is full
of negro Democratic clubs, correspondent
writes us. But this is not all. In some of
the States the Republican party, so lately
formed, is already torn by internal dissen-
slons. In Louisiana, we learn by private
letters, there is serious disagreement among
the Republicans. Gov Yarmouth is de-
nounced, and the leaders of the two fac
tions use bitter language. To gain the
coming election requires earnest effort on
the part of the Republican leaders. They
cannot walk over the course They need
to canvass every Southern State thorough
ly, and it would on many accounts be we'll
if the ablest speakers and organizers of the
party could be sent through the Southern
States. IF something like this is not done
there is reason to believe that an unpleas>
ant surprise awaits the Republicans in
some, and perhaps in most, of those states. y

The New Wheat Crop.

Trafton's New York Circular, of August
9Th, has the following:
ut is now very generally admitted by
dealers and merchants of intelligence, that
our statements In regard to the crop of
Winter Wheat, as published Six weeks ago,
were correct; indeed, as thrashing has
progressed it has been found that the yield
in almost every state of the Union is cons
siderably less than we reported it. In CIV
ing comparative estimate OF the crop we
must not lose sight of the fact that the
quality is far below that of 1864, with
which year we make our comparison, and
after we make careful examination of the
subject, We have come to the conclusion
that this years crop will not make more
of 1864. Not more than one county in fif-
both in quality and quantity, as compared
Spring Wheat we have. very full advices
from the Northwest since our last ; about
two>thirds of the crop has been cut, and as
far as thrashing has progressed, the yield
is much below the general expectation in
that section. Our correspondents from
Iowa make the yield S(0l3 bushels to the
i
they make the yield l5(0lS bushels, rather
more than onethird as No in Wiscon-
sin SOFA bushels, about one third as No.
/, and in Illinois the yield is stated at ca
II bushels to the acre, with less than one
third No. /. 1t is possible later advices
from Wisconsin may change our figures,
but we fear not. Much of this Wheat is
still out, and owing to the great scarcity of
labor notwithstanding farmers are paying
S. 00(96.00 day for farm hands), it is
feared much of the crop will not be secured
in good condition could they have fort
night of good weather it would all be Sc
cured in good condition, and with their in
creased acreage very liberal surplus for
export seems certain. The advance in
Spring since our last is 2O(@25c per bushel,
and in Winter l0(Gl2c per bushcl. The
exports of the week are $1,000 bushels
against 20,005 the corresponding week of
last year, the extreme prices current have
prevented the filling of foreign orders, and
there is a considerable falling off as COM
pared with the first week in July, and the
indications are now that our exports will
not be liberal until October"

D0- As Wade Hampton has corrected
Jabobin misrepresentation of the speech
recently delivered BY him in Charleston,
and has plainly said that the only method
by which be expects to change the negro
carpet bag government of South Carolina
is through the ballot box, we may hope
that the apprehension of the black and tans
concerning thu bloody revolution which
shall follow the election OF Gov Seymour
will be Quoted.
The democratic party knows how state
governments may be changed without blood
letting, or military despotism. The party
in power also knew how this could be done
but it did not know how an infamy could
be fastened on people without the bayos
net.
The process by which democrats PR pose
to relieve the people of the south from the
reconstruction infamy and its results is a
very simple one. It is merely to let the
people vote. Is it right to let tie people
vote7 Is it revolution and treason to say
the people may vote2
Congress says it is criminal in white men
to vote, or attempt to vote, in Texas, Vir-
GINA, and Mississippi. It has passed a
law making it an offence punishable with
fine or Imprisonment fora man to vote in
either of those states in the presidential
election, q 1903 ~ Hst -3

THROUGH THE WORLD.

And never find the love they seek !;

These know their doom, and walk their way
With level steps and steadfast eyes,

Radical Justice.

About three hundred millions Of bonds
are deposited at Washington as security
for the national bank circulation. On
these bonds the nation pays over twents
millions Of interest in gold every year,
which, at the present rate of gold, is equiv.
alent to thirty millions in currency. Work.
ingmen, you pay that thirty millions every
year to the owners of national banks. In
addition to that little sum the national
banker gets from ten to twenty-five pei
cent interest on the loans which he makes
to you Of the currency which is founded on
these bonds. Don't you see how nice the
thing works7 The banker realizes about
thirty per cent on his investment, and pays,
comparatively, no taxes.
Does digging, ploughing, hsmmcring at
the anvil, working in saw mills, carrying
mortar, pegging and stitching at shoe
leather and using the plane, afford any
such rate Of compensation, and cores
ponding relief from, taxation? Has any
good reason ever been given why these
bonds should not be taken up with curren-
cy, and this national bank note circulation
replaced with greenbacks There is no
reason. except the cupidity of bondholders.
By thus retiring the national bank notes,
there would be saved to the people, during
the period over which the Radicals propose
to spread the national debt, the sum OF
about one thousand millions Why is not
this immense sum saved to the people ?
Ask the Radicals.

Another Outrage on the Right Of suf-

The Florida and Alabama Legislatures,
says the Milwaukee Neus, have assumed
to act upon tho advice of leading radicals
at Washington, and have voted to choose
the electors, in violation of the most sacred
right that can be conferred upon the voter.
In view of this course of action, the Spring
field Union, an intensely Republican sheet,
says:
1--WE see with regret that the Legisla>
ture of Florida has taken step which is
subversive of liberty, and against the spirit
of our institutions. 1t is fit that, in mat
tel so important as Presidential election,
the will of the people should be expressed
in the directest manner possible. A Leg
islature chosen at some previous period
cannot express the popular wish so direct
y and faithfully as the people are able to
do it, by casting their own vote at the polls.
Besides, in this case, they are taken by
surprise. They elected the present Legis-
lature with no such expectation, and for no
such purpose. How would the people of
Massachusetts like to have such Legisla>
ture as that which lately adjourned at Bos>
ton, cast the vote of this State for Presi>
dental electors? Would they consider the
sentiment of the State properly represent
ed2 We think not. y
This is fair pr esentation of the case
The present Legislatures were chosen un-
der General Grants military dictation.
Their action has been controlled by Gener-
al Grants military commanders, under in
structions from Congress. So it will be
seen that General Grant virtually makes
the Legislatures, and then tells the Legis-
latures to make him President. He might
as well appoint the electors in the first in
stance. Or, what would be more in &C.
cordance with the military style of doing
things, he might proclaim himself Presi.
dent without going through with such RI
diculous farce.

Attempt to Kill a Roman Catholic
Priest.

From the Troy Times, Aug. 8.
Saturday evening last, a man named Far
rell called at the residence of Father Ryan,
in Bennington, VT, with young babe, and
requested that ne would baptise it. The
Father refused, for the reason that the off
spring was Legitimate, whereupen Farrell
threatened to take the life of the Priest
Sunday evening about IL o'clock. Farrell,
armed with a six shooter, went to the
Priests house and rang the bell His visit
had been anticipated by friend of Father
Ryan named Driscol, who appeared in
response to the bell, and warned him
to leave but he refused to go. In the
mean time a servant had notified Father
Ryan of the presence of Farrell and be
went down stairs also armed with a res
volver and sword cane, but he did not use
either, as Farrell in some way was put out
of the door, when be commenced firing his
pistol through the windows, and discharged
all the shots. He then made use Of stones
to shatter the windows, and went from
otfront to rear, where he also made u
stones in the same manner. While thusss
engaged, Dliscoll left the house and pro-
ceeded tor aid, and soon returned with a
dozen men, Farrell threatened to take the
life of the first man who approached him
and for time the new corners were
inundated. Finally Drisco.l made rush
or him, and with a well directed blow felled
him to the earth, when he was seized and
bound with ropes, and removed to the lock-
up.
Mondy afternoon, at two 0 o'clock he was
taken before Justice Lyman, who after hear
ing the evidence, in default Of $4,000 bail,
committed him to await the action of the
grand jury The sheriff, fearing the pris-
oner would be lynched, deputized large
special force to assist him and at the close
of the examination, took him in buggy to
return to jail A large and excited crowd
of people had assembled, and soon after the
sheriff had started from the office of the
justice he was hit on the head with stone
and severely wounded. The prisoner was
then seized and dragged from the wagon to
the ground, where he was most terribly
beaten, and would surely have been killed
but for the interference of Father Ryan and
w. H. Nutting. They rushed in upon the
Infatuated mob and drove them back, but
not until Farrell had been nearly kicked
and pounded to death He was then re-
moved to Jail. During the melee, Father
Ryan broke his cane over the heads Of the
rioters, no attention having been paid by
them to his commands to dispense and
leave the prisoner in the hands of law
The reverend father, we understand, then
drew the knife from his cane upon the
crowd, and by great exertions succeeded in
keeping them at bay. His conduct
throughout the trying ordeal was that of a
man OF extraordinary courage and heroism.

Another Daring Bond Robbery.
From the N Y Herald


Yesterday, at about two o clock in the
afternoon, young man of respectable ap>
pearance entered the Office of the Star Fire
Insurance Company, No. &c Broadway, and
enqulred OF one of the clerks at the counter
If Mr.--(mentionlng the name OF gen.
tleman who occasionally calls there) was
within. He was answered that the clerk
did not know and directed to proceed to
the back Office and make further inqu iry
there. The counter where questiouer and
questioned in this dialogue stood, one on
each side of it, is just inside the street
door, running at right angles from the
front of the building. The counter is about
three feet in height and terminates, about
six feet from the wall, in a range of desk
foot higher than the counter, used in the
transaction of the business of the company
During the colloquy given above, the Sec
rotary of the company stood at the extreme
end of this long desk, nearest the light,
taking down the numbers of quantity of
five twenty bonds of different denomina>
tons, amounting in all to $40 900, which
had just been received in the Office as col
lateral in loan made by the company, and
accompanying which the customary memo
randum of numbers had not been received.
just as the young man was informed to
look for the party he had inquired for in
the back Office the Secretary, having coca
sion to use blot sheet, slightly turned his
head from the light to reach one, and al
most Immediately resuining his former po-
sltlon found to his CONSERVATION that in
this slight interval the. bonds had been re-
moved, snatched away, while the sight of
THE young man" making rapid tracks up
the steps into the street informed him by
whom. To jump over the counter and fol-
low the thief occupied the Secretary but
all instant but on gaining Broadway his
cry of Stop theft brought such crowd
around, all eager to learn what's the mat
ter, that he lost sight of the fugitive
and was obliged 70 relinquish the pursuit
OF him. That the man entered the Office
OF the insurance company with the inten-
ton OF stealing, and used the name of a
party whom he may have learned some
times called there, or dropped on the name
hap>hazard, as an excuse for coming in, is
almost certain, as the bonds had just been
carried round from j. Cooke & Co. S Office,
whence they had doubtless been followed.
In the hope that a favorable opportunity
would offer on the street for stealing them,
which, not happening, caused the thief, in
very desratlon at losing SO rich prize to
risk the holder movement. The company

even If never recovered, will not in the
least cripple them or materially affect their
monetary safety.
We.are authorized by Mr.. ii. C. Miller,
President, to state that the compauy's sur
plus Is still nearly $45, 900, or over twenty
per cent. capital. and that the loss will not
impair the standing or credit of the COM
pany.

A Beautiful Woman.

THE ART OF LOOKING HANDSOME.
There has lately been going the rounds
OF the press extracts from an article on the
above subject, copied from Harper's Maya
zine. From that article we gather the fol>
lowing facts:
A modern woman to be beautiful should
wear good clothes,-and have them well
|starched
a's HOW TO CARRY THE NECK.
The neck should never be carried in a
basket, nor done up in bundle. 1t is
carried with the least trouble upon the
shoulders and looks we'll there. That S
where Marie Antoinette carried hers till
the nec(k) romantic Frenchman cut off a
slice. -Il9 $3.50 a
HIGH HEELS.
It's not the mark of beautiful woman
to have her heels get too high,-higher
than her head.
AS a general thing the heels should be
kept middling low, somewhere near the
floor or walk.
BEAUTIFUL ARM.
A woman's arm is beautiful when it s
just the right size and shape, and has a
good toggle joint at the elbow.
THE HANDS
Generally make their appearance on one
end or the other of the arms, and look real
handy. The thumb shouldn't be as long
as the fingers, unless it S Tom Thumb"
a well made hand should be somewhat long
and very little short A hand look )
pretty around broom stick or naughty
mans ears. A woman can't be really
handsome without some hand.
A PERFECT FOOT
To have perfect foot is considered big
feat.
A first class foot requires an instep.
Women without lnsteps can't very well
step into neighbors for few moments.
The women of ancient Greece had feet
which lasted them life time. Some vo-
men of the present day have good deal of
Ancient grease about their feet The
best way to have No. foot look well, is
to jam it into No. 2 shoe. Walking is
good exercise for the feet Some women
foot it so much that they can't foot their
bills. If woman wears wooden shoes they
won't wrinkle, but her feet will
GENERAL BEARING AND ADDRESS.
Women don't make bears of themselves
so generally as men do. Some men are
bearing around most of the time. The
general barring of women's arms on wash
ing day looks like business

most bea utiful women in this country is,
